boycott.

The future of baseball, particularly
of the National league variety, is not
especially roseate. If the magnates
get through quarreling before spring
and the courts will decide who is really
in control of the National league there
may be some prospect of prosperous
season. At present it looks more than
doubtful.

some suggestlons That Wives May or
May Mot Adopt.
A writer gives the following idea
OF the qualities man likes in o;
wife. presumably his own wife.
However, do not make an attempt
to follow the rules too closely.
There seems to he en- undercurrcns
OF satire ia, the words.
"a man likes his wife to be cheer
ful. Hc does not always concern
himself very particularly about the
means to make and keep her so, but
ne dlsapproves utterly of a sad or
pensive face.
He may have cut her to the
quick with some bitter word before
ne leaves home in the morning, but
ne Is extremely annoyed if he per-
celyes on returning any signs Of the
wound he has inflicted.
"a man hits hard, but he never
expects to SET bruise. He has for
given himself for administering the
blow. Why should not the recipient
be equally quick about forgetting
it?
"a man likes his. wife to be intel
iigent, quite sufficiently so to be
able to conduct the concerns of life
and to appreciate his own intellec-
tual parts and enjoy stray cbulli-
tons of his wit and humor.
"She must applaud these with dis
elimination and in that delicate
manner which infeTs no surprise at
his possessing brilliancy.
but he is exasperated should she
be too Intelligent. His depths ara
to be inviolate, but he likes to sound
her shadows, and so we'll does she
know this that she often assumes a
shallowness when she has it not"

Saiidinss OF Stone Have Been Dam.
aged by Violin Playing.
What force least expected does
the !! greatest damage to buildings ?''
is question which representative
OF the indianapolis News asked a
well known architect. The s.ch;-
tect's answer may be. n surprise to
those who do not understand. that
it is the regularity of vibration that
makes it powerful.
1T is difficult to TELL" replied the
architect, 'but / will venture to saw
that you. would never expect violin
playing to injure the walls of n
building. Yet it certainly does
There have been instances when tho
walls of stone and brick structures
have been seriously damaged by the
vibrations from violin. Of course
these cases are unusual, but the
facts are established.
''The vibrations Of a violin are
really serious in their unseen, un-
bounded force, and when they come
with regularity they exercise an in
huence upon structures of brick,
stone or iron. Of course it takes
continuous playing for many years
to Loosen masonry or to make iron
brittle, but it will do it in time.
81 have often thought of what
the result might be if a man would
stand at the bottom of a nineteen
story light we'll on the first floor OF
the great Masonic temple in Chica:
go and play there continuously. The
result could be more easily seer
there than almost anywhere else be-
cause the vibration gathers force az
it sweeps upward.
h GA man can feel the vibrations o,
va violin on an ironclad ocean YES
sci and at the same time be unabl,
to hear the music. It is the regular
ity which means so much. Like tn,
constant dripping of water which
wears away q stone, the inccssan
vibration of the violin makes it
way to the walls and attacks thei
solidity.". -

The Banana Of Malayan or,oIn.

The banana goes back to the ear
lest days. Alexander's soldiers, as
Pliny says, Joined the sages Of India
seated in it's shade and partaking of
its delicious fruits; hence the name
sapientum, given the plant, which
likewise bears the name of Jupiter's
fair. daughter, Musa. Now, it has
been shown that the banana is of
Malayan origin. How did it get to
India and South America and Mexi-
co? The feet Of birds have borne
seed a full 10000 miles, while the
cocoanut has floated well nigh the
world around in the great ocean
currents. But the cultivated ba-
mana has no seeds, nor has it a cas-
ing like the globular cocoanut to
float it around over the waters.
Then it must have been carried by
man.

A Blinded Eye.

A story is told of q Ceylon plant
er who wanted to go away for a
days shooting. Approaching his
men, he said, although I myself
will'be absent, yet I shall leave, one
OF my eyes to see that you do your
work" And, to the surprise of the
natives, he took out his glass eye,
placed it on the stump of tree and
left. For some time the natives
worked like elephants, but at last
one of them, seizing his tin in which
he carried his food, approached the
tree and placed it over the eye. AS
soon as they saw that they were not
being watched they all lay down and
slept peacefully until sunset.

This is done by first carefully
pulling out the rebellious or, un-
lucky hairs in the eyebrows. The
next operation is to select aspot of
hair on the neck Of the patient or
behind his ears that would suit for
q line eyebrow and reduce these
hairs to the. right length.
A pair Of sharp pinchers is picked
up with the left hand, and, selecting
suitably sized hair, the operator
Jerks it out by the root, and with q
needlcllke instrument in the right
hand he pierces minute hole in the
skin OF the bald eyebrow in slant
ing direction, and while Che point of
the Instrument is still on the edge
of the hole the root of the pulled
up hair is carefully inserted. But
It blood cczes out of it before the
hair is planted the hole will not be
used on that day for fear of infa1r-
nation and not sufficient nutriment
for the hair. to take proper root.
The operation is repeated till every
hair in the eyebrows is replaced.
The patient is said to experience
pain in the eyebrows for about
twcnty-four hours, after which he
is al right. The professor charges
more for planting eyebrows thar

Music and Animals.

An eminent violinist, Herr Bak-
er, tested the sensitiveness to music
Of each OF the animals in the zoolog-
icai gardens Of Germany. The in
fuence Of the violin was the greatest
on the puma, whose moods changed
rapidly as the nature of the music
changed, becoming very much ex-
cited and nervous when quicksteps
were played. Wolves showed an ap-
preciatiye interest, lions and hyenas
were terrified, leopards were uncon-
cerned and monkeys curious.
