They use q much harder ball than

sions, as they afford no protection
whatever to the hand in which YOU al
ways catch the ball.
That skinny little boy next door can
throw ball with awful speed, and de-

have grown TO an unreasonable length.

ers, frequently destroys the enamel

People who work in soda factories
are affected by the teeth becoming
soft and translucent; they break off
close to the gums.
+ DIR. HesEe, ofLeipsic, states that bak-
ers are liable to suffer from carious
teeth on account of the flour entering
the mouth during work, collecting on
and around the teeth, where it deeom-
poses and generates an acid destructive
to the dentine.
Quicksilver miners follow the most

ciated, and, as rule, seldom live long

MARY BLAKE

Munsons visited her every day and
held themselves responsible for all ex.
penses.
1t troubled them much TO see their
faithful domestic suffer, but under
their grief lurked the hope that Mary
Blake was not permanently injured
but would return to them, and they did
everything in their power to make her
convalescence speedy one.
Then great scheme entered Mr..
Munson's head. He feared that thew
had never appreciated the services of
this excellent domestic, and he nursed
and fondled and matured that scheme
until at the end OF ak weeks Mary
Blake walked in upon them. She
looked white and limped slightly, but
after she had taken off her things and
given one look around the kitchen the
girl who had supplied her place said
she was ready to leave, and the cat re-
tired under the range.
Then Mr.. Munson unfolded his
scheme. He sent for Mary Blake when
seated at the breakfast table with the
family.
How are you feeling now?" he
asked, considerably.
"I'm all right, SIR" she answered,
briefly, not being given to many
words.
ooh, no. not all right You limp a
little yet"
"But it don't hurt bit. I'm as right
as I'll ever be-"
That's it, Mary" said Mr.. Munson,
"you will never again be well; you've
received shock that you will never
get over. You will always be lame and
feel the effects of the fall.''
"If you're meanin' that I can't do
my work or earn my wages Just say so
an I'll be leavin' at once't," and Mary
Blake gave her little snort of defiance
that suggested temper.
''It has cost you," continued Mr..
Munson, "all the money you had saved
up for hospital expenses and doctors
bills-supposing you had to pay tt
and was loss to US of-let me see
at least two dollars a day."
Sam I worth the likes OF that pr
asked the "girl." with look of sur
prise.
"Oh, those are imaginary figures"
said Mr.. Munson, who saw he had
made a mistake. "Now, Mary, I am a
lawyer, and I advise you to sue the
town for damages. Twill conduct your
case, and there will be no trouble in
a snug sum of money that will
keep you in your old age without
working. 1t will be a long time to
then, but the money will draw inter
est, and it's only fair that you should
have your rights"
Then Mr.. Munson explained that the
town owned that particular piece Of
sidewalk; that it was defective, caus-
ing the fall; that he had secured sew
eral witnesses who saw her fall, and
that his own family would go into
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1902-06-07

MARY BLAKE was a domestic in a
iFI family at Oak Park, where she
had lived more years than she had
fingers on both hands, and she was as
much an integral force Of that family
as the head of it, Mr.. Munson. The one
hope of these good people was that
Mary Blake would never either resign
or die. One horn of the dilemma
would have been as serious to them as
the other.
Mary Blake-she was called by her
full name to distinguish her from
Mary Munson, the daughter OF the
family-was as much attached TO the
people she had lived with so many
years as it is possible for those who
are neither kith nor kin to their en-
ployers, and she was perfectly salts
ned with her place and position, with
no foolish ideas about culture" or
aspirations" after the unreachable.
She was, however, model domestic,
cook that would put to shame the
greatest chef in the country with her
well-seasoned dishes, an excellent
laundress, and, when there was sick
ness, capable nurse. Added to these
rare qualities was honesty and fair
ly good temper. A little Etolid, per-
haps, and fond of her own way, which
was such a good one that it needed no
Interference. This was the aggregate
OF Mary Blake's virtues and the Nun
sons depended on her to such an ex-
tent that it really seemed as II any
member of the family could have been
spared with less friction to its run
ming gear.
One morning-in the eleventh year
of her reign-Mary Blake came to
grief. She went out the back WAY
with pitcher in her hand, walked a
block or two, on an errand 10 a neigh
boring grocery store, and. returning,
fell on piece OF defective sidewalk,
where she lay helpless, dazed and bad
ly hurt, She was taken TO hospital
by order of physician, where a seri-
Gus diSlocation of the hip was reduced
by the surgeons, and she was laid on a
white cot in private ward, where the
