Girls Should Not Begin School Until
Seventeen.

DR.. S. Weir Mitchell deliberately main
tains that for all the best purposes of
female society it would be better that
American girls were not educated at all
until they were ~. than that they are
overwroughr as they are at present.
They study seven or eight hours day
when two or three would be- sufficient
to keep their intelligence in training-and
all for what? To spend their after years
on a sofa or sick room, and to be
burden instead of help to those who
are dearest to them.
1t is a tremendous saying, from one
speaking with authority, that as much
domestic unhappiness is caused in Amer
lea by nervousness among women as by
dram-drinking among men. Yet such is
DR.. Mitchells verdict. He holds that
every girl ought to be examined as to her
nervous Temperament when about to go
to school, and at frequent intervals after
ward; that LEISURE exercise, and whole
some meals ought to be insisted upon,
and that studies ought to be compulsorily
diminished; or discontinued altogether
the moment the well-known signs Of
over-strain appear: If girls are main
tanned in normal nervous condition I'M
til they are II, they may study as hard
as they please .afterward without i'm
perilling the rWoman's life. But let there
be no mistake about it. OverwOrk and

Hot Milk as q Stlmuiant.

Hot milk is slowly coming to be the

sallow, freckled or in any way afflicted,
hot milk will effect cure. Converts de-
clare that the face after being washed
with milk at night feels wonderfully re-
freshed, while the skin soon becomes
very soft and white. Some people de-
clare that generous quantity Of milk
poured into the water for bath is mag
zeal in removing. fatigue. A bottle Of
cheap red wine thrown into the bath is
also beneficial. It will be remembered
that Mary Queen of Scots and Queen
Elizabeth used both milk and wine for
their baths, and the Empress Josephine
always washed her face in a bowl of
milk and sweet violets. But now the
ideal drink for the weary person is said
to be glassful of very hot milk, slipped
slowly. That last warning is perfectly
unnecessary if the milk has reached a
sufficiently high degree of temperature,
for no one could drink it in any other
method. But if you try the milk cure
for mental or physical fatigue, take ten
minutes in which to sip it.

The POmander Again.

eiaborately jeweled and hung from jew
eled chains, and are worth a small for
tune. In fact, the possibilities Of ex-
travagance offered by the new fad are
what will probably most endear it to the
feminine heart.
The pomander seems a trifle out of
place in this day. of athletic and robust
womanhood: It belongs to the time Of
the frail pale beauties who tainted early

BASE BALL.
The First Game of the Season by the Nor
risvilIe Team Resulted in a Victory
for Hyde Park by Score of
@ to Z.


for Hyde Park by a Score of
o tot.
Yesterday was an ideal day for q
ball game and fairly good sized au-
dience witnessed the game between
Morrisville and Hyde Park on the
Old Fair Grounds In the afternoon.
This was the first game of the season
for the home team and everything
considered each man made a good
showing in his position. The new
pitcher, Morris, showed up we'll and
struck out 10 of the opposing team,
and only gave one man bases on balls.
He pitched heady game through
out. Miner dgood business behind
the bat, with the exception of little
off work in throwing to second, which
will be easily remedied by a little
practice. Foss and Foes, the North
Hyde Park battery, played their
usually good game. A. Foss struck
out ! l men andgave no bases on balls.
The game yesterday was the first OF
a series of three games to be played
between these two teams, the next to
take place at Hyde Park next Tues
day afternoon. Following is an idea
of how the game went by innings.
First. -Morrisville took the field.
Cheney was the first man up, went to
first on Cushman's tumble of a single.
Page hit to Morris, who threw wild
to first, sending Cheney home and
leaving Page on third. McGinnis
singled to third and Page was caught
mapping and sent to the bench and
McGinnis went to second. Davis
struck out and meantime McGinnis
had reached third and was sent home
on single by A. Foss, who was left
on bases when Leach made three I'M
successful fans at as many of Morris
cork-screws. Morrisville went to bat
and were retired in order. Forbush
struck out, and Smith went out on
an easy single to Cheney, who folded
the ball in his usually graceful man
ner. Wilkins struck out. Score 2
to 0.
Second. Grimes struck out and
Thomas hit the bail Tor q tWO-bagger.
L. Foss singled to left and Thomas
went home from third. Cheney went
to first on balls and Page struck out.
McGinnis singled to Forbush and was
thrown out at first, retiring the side.
Cushman went out on hit to the
pitcher and Waite did likewise. Miner
reached first on a single and went
to second on passed balls. Leach
wentout on an easy single to Thomas
at first. Score 3 too
Third. Davis retired on a single to
first and A. Foss followed by a fly to
right. Leach went to first on a
safe hit to center and Grimes got
first on a fowl which was called a
fair ball, sending W. Leach home.
Thomas went to first on a tumble of
an easy grounder by c. L. Leach and
Grimes scored. L. Foss went to first
in,the same way and sent Thomas
home. Foss scored on Cheney's
single to first, which was fumbled by
