a summer evening and look up at the

Catarrh Causes Female Diseases,
Science of a Curved Ball.

Professor Joseph ]. Thomson, who
came over from Cambridge, England,
to deliver the Benjamin Silliman course
of lectures al Yale this year, was asked
to give the explanation of a curved
pitched ball. "The ball follows its
nose, so to speak, said he. IF it
leaves the pitchers hand revolving
| downward on a horizontal axis it Is
bound to drop. If it leaves revolving
| upward on a horizontal axis it follows
on a vertical axis, revolving outward
from the batsman, the outcurve is the
result, and similarly on a vertical axis,
with an inward revolution, and so on.
The axis and revolutions are deter
mined by the manner of the spheres
leaving the pitchers hand, and there
you are."-New York Sun.

One of the most interesting features
of census records Of the number of
persons above ten years of age occu-
pied in gainful pursuits is the revela-
ton of the number of men who are
doing work that properly is within
woman's province. For instance, it is
the natural and inalienable right of the
women to teach school. So, too, nurs-
ing ought to be peculiarly the task of
women, yet there are 1921 male
nurses. 1t is indisputable that women
of more or less tender age ought to
~monopolize stenography and typewrit-
ing. Yet there are men bold enough
to intrude upon 23,553 positions of the
first kind, and 2753 of the second.
Moreover, such is the fancy or the fate
of some males, that 171S of them are
milliners, GIG are dressmakers. and
1887 are seamstresses.-Southern Farm

In the days when the people layishly

been behind a great gun was riding up
town on a Broadway cal. Seated next
to the sailor was an important-looking
individual who, in the way of introduc-
ton and with evident pride, said:
Il am a sailorman myself in a way,
but not exactly of the navy. You see,

Sweating" in police parlance is
about Synonymous with bullying a
prisoner into confession. Sometimes,
in its milder forms. it corresponds with
"cajoling." 1t is the natural resource
of the policeman who has no detective
ability, and would not know how to
follow up a clew if by any chance he
should recognize one when he met it.
There is nothing wrong, of course, in
seeking information from a prisoner,
but there is something decidedly wrong
when the police depend upon that
means, to the neglect of others. for the

however, to the use of arms"
The Messenger adds: ."These reports
have been invented. No letter of the

whatever was made to the Bessarabian

race twice around a ffteen-mile tri-
angle on the Sound, in a breeze vary
Ing from seven to twelve miles an
aour, beat the Constitution two minutes
and tw%enty-one seconds, actual time,
and the Columbia fifteen minutes and
6fty-one seconds.
1t has been estimated that the Reli-
ance's racing length is about 10S and
the Constitution about 104. On these
figures the Reliance would win from
the Constitution by twenty-four sec
onds. If the Reliance's racing length
is over 1O8 then the Constitution is
probably a winner.
The race showed that the Reliance is
not nearly as stiff as the Columbia or
the Constitution. She made much more
fuss in going through the water than
the Constitution, and she was particu-
larly hard to steer.
