METHODS NOT PERMISSIBLE.

1t is unthinkable that such methods
should be permissible in playing the
game of baseball. and the only reason
which the Trustees can conceive OF
why rule prohibiting it was not in
cluded in the official rules, is that the
baseball authorities who formulated
the rules did not conceive that 1T was
possible that a member of club at
bat would so far forget himself and
clean sport as to go onto the diamond
or so near thereto as to interfere with
the fielders.

UMPIRE'S RULING.

He based his ruling. not upon the
hypothesis that Leslie would neces-
sarily have caught the ball and put
Knight out but that he having been
Illegally interfered with by Moore, one
of the EIks team. SO that it was i'm
possible for the umpire to say whether
or not Leslie would have put knight
out, he under the broad powers and
discretion given to an umpire, ruled
knight out on the ground that not to
do so would enable the Elks to score
a run and perhaps win the game by
foul playing.
To this contention the Elks reply
that the legal rules prescribe certain
fixed methods of putting a base runner
out and that among these methods is
not contained interference by another
member of the club which is at the
bat.
They claim that the base runner was
not at fault and having arrived at
home without being touched by the
ball. was entitled to his run and the
only punishment which could be in
fiicted was a fine or disqualification of

Mr.. Robert Venus, of Launceston, Tas-
mania, sends US his photograph and says:
Il suffered greatly from loss of appetites
indigestion, pains in the stomach, weakness,
and nervousness. Several doctors tried in
vain TO give me relief. A friend then induced
me to try Ayers Sarsaparilla, for il had done
him much good. The first bottle worked
wonders for me. Soon my appetite came
back, my indigestion was cured, and I was
strong and hearty"

Love In LauIand,

In Lapland the crime which, after
murder, is punished with the greatest
severity is that of marrying a girl
against the wishes Of her parents.
When sutton makes his appearance
he says nothing to the maiden, who
often does not know who he is, but her
parents inform her that she is sought
IN marriage. Shortly afterward, on a
day appointed, the girl, her parents,
friends and sutton all meet together at
a feast, and the young man and maiden
are placed opposite, SO that they can
look at each other freely and can talk
with comfort. After the meal is over
the company repair to an open space,
where ''the race for a wife, is run. The
usual distance is about quarter of a
mile, and the girl is placed third Of
the distance from the starting point.
If she be fleet of foot she can easily
reach the goal before her sutton, and
In that case he may never trouble her
again. If, however, he has found fa-
vOr in her eyes, all she has to do is to
lag somewhat in her fight, so that he
may overtake her. If she desires to
intimate to him that his love for her
is returned she may run a little way
and then turn with open arms to ac-
cept him.

A LIGHT HEART.
Said to Be Oftener Linked With
Drawn Than with Brain.

Drawn Than with Brain.
Is it possible to cultivate a light
heart? Probably not, but all sorts Of
shifts have been practiced at all times
to retain one There have always been
men like Thoreau and st. Francis who
believed that property brought with it
heavy heart and who have refused,
as did the American philosopher, to be
"harnessed to his possessions" ST.
Francis cast aside every weight that
he might free himself from idle sor-
row." He and his first disciples "loved
nothing earthly and feared nothing
earthly They were secure in all Places
troubled by no fears, distracted by no
cares; they lived without trouble of
mind, waiting without scascitude for
the coming day" st. Francis in the
French hymns among the highway rob-
bers in his whimsical lightness of heart
makes a strange picture. He knew
French badly, but it seemed to him the
language of gayety. The founder of
the Franciscans, though we are told
that he possessed what was quantity
called the gift Of tears when perform
ing his devotions in his cell, was never
seen abroad without a smile; neither
would he tolerate any appearance of
heaviness in his followers. He rebuked
brother to whom a detected manner
had become habitual, saying, f'My
brother, repent thy sins in private, and
do not appear before the community
thus downcast"
We are inclined to think that those
who make their living-provided it is
a fairly good one-in the sweat of their
brow have lighter hearts than those
who make it in the sweat of their
brain. The high spirits which seem to
be enjoyed by domestic servants, to,
judge by the sounds which come up
stairs, are a case in point. busting,
scrubbing and plate cleaning seem to
weigh on the heart far less than doc
toring, Journalism or the study of law
or theology. Too often spirits are
broken by overwork or by disappoint-
ment in the wild struggle to succeed
which goes on among professional peo-
pie. Certainly in the literary world
light hearts are generally lost early,
yet the light hearted man of letters,
though he is rare, is the most attractive

FIamingoes, Tongues.

The beastly yitellius, as Gibbon calls
him, spent at least six millions of
money on table in as many months. He
invented, or his cook invented for. him,
a dish which he designated 'the Shield
of Minerva" One of it's principal in
gradients was fiamingoes' tongues, of
which both Pliny and Martial speak in
encomiastic terms. Dampier says that
the fiamingoes have large tongues,
and near the root is piece Of fat
which is accounted a great dainty"
When Captain Owen was surveying
the east coast of Africa his sailors shot
down hundreds of these beautiful birds
in order, with an extravaganza worthy
of Vitellius, to make dish of the
tongues alone.

Great Mushroom Garden In France.

Great Mushroom Garden In France.
The strangest of the underground
worlds in France which I visited was
one devoted to the raising of mush-
rooms. Its limits seemed unbounded,.
as indeed they were, for it pierced the
hillsides in every direction. We entered
through an opening under an orchard
of cherry trees. During harvest time"
a crop is gathered every twenty-fouI
hours. Three men, with their great
baskets, make the rounds of this under
ground farm every morning, and every
day in the year can count on an inn
mense crop, which they ship to the
large cities near by and even several
miles away. The discolored and inferi-
or mushrooms are sent to the canneries,
but for his best growth the producer
receives only 20 cents pound-Scrib-
ner's Magazine.
