Is SISYPHUs A MODEL.
An Old View Of Punishment and q
Present-Day Ambition.

In the pleasant days of antiquity,
when people were content to take life
TRANQUILITY and worshiped a ace of
gods and goddcsses as easy-going as
themselves, a certain discontented
mortal, Sisyphus by name, jealous Of
his papa-in-law (Atlas, supporter Of
the %universe), started out to achieve
a reputation for himself as a fnan-
cier and founder Of enterprises. He,
however, accordingto Elliott regory's
"Cnavailing Wealth." in the Cen
fury, quickly got into trouble, being
both rapacious and avid, 50 was
promptly ordered off to Hades for his
sins. TO be energetic and grasping
was then the surest wayto exasperatc.

when all reasonable people and even.
the gods themselves asked for moth

only to see it 60 bounding down into,

This story and that ofthe hungry
wight who was always being tempted

up continuallyin the writings ofthat
day, both tales being amusingly illus

when to enjoy a cultivated leisure was

Fancy the amazement of these At
tic peoples (who, between ourselves,
may not have been so very far wrong
in their view of life) had they been
told that a race would one day spring
up. quite as civilized as themselves
and possessing far greater opportuni,
ties for cultivation and enjoyment,
every member of which rich as we'll as
poor, would look upon weary Sisy-

Yet this view is almost universal
in our land to-day, where an allah
sorbing rustic of bank notes distracts
mems minds so completely from the
real aims. of existence. Sisyphus is
now held up as a model Of industry
and application. Parents urge their
offspring to waste no time in prelimi-

possible to the chief problem of to-

TOOLS TELL THEIR NATIONS.
Make of a Machine Can Be Told on
Sight by the Experienced. 81.

"Show me a piece of machinery Or
a tool, and Ill tell you what nation
made it, said a member of the steel
trust TO the Philadelphia Record re-
porter. "Evcry nations %characteri is
very strongly marked upon the tools
hat it turns out. .,>.
''T'hc English and the Scots are
conservative. They cling, in their
machines; to safety, to rightly.
Hence their output has for their ear
mark IL beavineSs that might be called
cumbersome. These machines are
very reliable and strong and massive,
like a dray horse. They have no fin
i+h. no elegance. The English and
the Scots leave such considerations
out of their minds altogether. The
French are a nervous, delicate, scnsi-
live people, with a highly-deveIoped
sense of the beautiful. Hcncctheir
machines and their humblest tools
have style. an air of elegance. The
finish of the cheapest French tool is
good. For elegance and good taste
the machinery Of the French is UNI
surpassed. This trait the French au-
tSmObilc shows. German tools ara
good. but not elegant and net light.
They incline to curved surfaces. This
trait is well shown in them by con-
trast with the angujafx faacchorsc7like
contours of the American tooS, Amer
lcan tools and machinery are cfav<
acterizpd by their direct, plain, SIM
pile design: by the use in them of the
lightest. best alloys and the newest
%stecls; by a saving of weight that
results in hollow structure wherever
possible; by q race-horSc lcanness of
appearance. In simplicitythe Amer
lean tools are byfar the best. In Gle
GaDce and finish they excel the tools
of all other nations but the French"

TRICKS OF THE CATERER.
Resorts to Subterfuge to Satisfy APP
petite of the Dyspeptic.

"The caterer has all sorts Of trou-
blcs and occasionallywhe a dyspep-2
tic introduces i~diosyncrasies into his
criticism of food tricks are resorted
to in order to please by mean Of il
lusions rather than by facts" said a.
well-known rcstaurateur to a Wash
ington Star reporter. 81 recall a
case Of this kind which occurred some
years ago. A customer came into a
restaurant which | was managing and
called for roast beef. We had the
finest piece Of roast beef | have ever
had the pleasure to look upon and a
liberal cut was sent out to him. The
man was in a nervous condition and
ready to find fault. He declared that
the beef was raw, and pushingi it aside,
told the waiter that he called for rare
andnot raw beef. The waiter brought
it back, and as | had nothing better
to offer him | turned the meat over
and it was sent back to the table. The
customer renewed his disguised look
and said the meat wascooked todeath.
1t came back again and | gave it a
second turn in the platter and back
it went to the table.
"'Ah! exclaimed the customer,
looking on the cut Of roast beef with
longing eyes. That is just what /
want. Now why couldn't YOU have
brought me that in the first place."
Gle ate the meat with relish and
when he left he told the waiter to
look out for him when he should re-
turn the next day, saying that as he
knew just what he wanted he would
have him serve him while he re-
manned in the city. He emphasized
his approval with a good-sized tip.
"Pcoplc may criticize such meth

Eyae-Erowing Teeth.

Certain animals have teeth which
grow all their lives. The rat and the
squirrel are examples Of this. HpalanssHa
teeth are developed from pulps,
which arc absorbed and disappear,
after the teeth are grown; but in the
case OF a rat the tooth pulp is per-
petua]s apd is continually secreting
material By which it gains length.
Therefore the an,.ual is obliged to
gnaw all the time to keep the tooth
down to it, proper length. 1t is COLL
monty believed that rats keep gnaw-
ing out of pure mischief: but such is
not the case.

New York. May 25.-"Patsy'' Donovan and
his bunch of comedians ended their engage
ment at the Polo Grounds to-day. The
score was Is to 4 in favor OF the Giants.
Such a game as that which terminated the
Cardinals comedy has not been seen. ac-
cording to the Oldest fan. since the days Of
the prairie "town ball." when the booted
hatters hit from township to township and
the folders duty was to lay out the dodgers
on the home stretch with balls aimed
adroitly at their heads.
Such was the play that Dan Mccain.
the big first baseman OF the Giants
achieved the record put-out by running
from first base to third base, ball in hand.
and touching out Smoot. This Cardinal had
been jogging between the bases like a horse
with the blind ~stsggers.
So many errors were made by St. Louis
that the fans got tired recording them.
FUN BEGAN EARLY.
Brown. the three-fingered twirler OF the
visitors, pitched seven innings with Weaver
as catcher. Brown was relieved by Lovett.
Taylor pitched seven for New York and Mil

outfield and Babb was again at third. Get

and Van scored. In the second inning Babb
wiped out the Cardinals with a double

let out a ripper for two bases and Bower

two runs. On Donovan's long fly Farrell
scored.
TWO IN THIRD.
Two more runs came in the third. Gilbert
got two bases on an error OF Farrel's and
Bowerman hunted so that he had made a

versity and the University OF Missouri took
place this afternoon at Rolllns's field, Wash

The st. Louis men were outclassed in

were unable to exclude all events in which
they were weak, as was the case last year.
Features Of the meet were the half-mile

tanced the Washington men when they
came together. but held back in the last

that have occurred in pugilism. but stranger
even seems the Damon and Pythtas rela-

were once bitter enemies. And to think
too. that the Cornishman has gone down
