A LITTLE DOPE.

Paducah has the biggest aggregation
OF sure hitters in the league. Every
body hit yesterday.
freeman is slated to pitch today.
Clifford will probably catch. Clifford
wants to play regularly in center field.
Wilson has been hitting we'll in all
games, having made several doubles
in the last three games he played in.
Warner. the Henderson catcher, is
still in the game, although his right
hand is badly bruised and out Of joint.
Glrard will be kept on the bench
hereafter. His pitching is better
when he lays of and President weille
has decided to work him in the box
alone.
President Ben weille has telegraph
ed for Becker, Louisville pitcher,
who was recommended by Jack Sheri-
dan, who managed the Owensboro X.
l. 7. league team.
Ed Reed, the pitcher obtained from
South Bend, Ind, who has done such
good work since joining the Hopkins
willie team, left the locals at Hender
son and went to Terre Haute.
Hackney, the Oakland pitcher who
signed with Psducah Saturday, wrote
President Ben weille this morning
that he could not come. He is in
business with his brother and cannot
leave
Henderson is sore because the games
played with Vinceunes were not
counted. The president Of the league
says not to count them and however
much the papers would like to accom-
modate the Hens, they can't do it.
It will be Of interest TO know that
First Baseman Edmunds last year

who pitched for Henderson yesterday,
was the pitcher ne worked with. Ed
munds has little to say about himself
but it is known that he is an excellent
catcher, and he may be seen behind
the bat soon.

was yesterday telePraphed transporta

this means he preferred playing with
Nashville to Paducsh, as 1t is claimed

A Chinese wife is not exactly to be
envied, for she is under the authority
not merely of her husband, but also of
his mother. A book on Chinese Ell
quette gives rules which show pretty
clearly how utterly subject a woman
is to her mother-in-law. Here are a
few of them: "When your mother-in-
law sits you should stand. Obey her
orders quickly. Rise early in the morn
ing and open the doors quietly, taking
care to make no noise to waken her.
Hasten to prepare her toilet articles;
retire and prepare for tea. Take 1t to
her quickly and cheerfully, and then
arrange the breakfast table. Place the
ehopsticks straight, boil the rice soft,
and let the meal be thoroughly done.
Prepare the meals thus carefully thrice
daily. When darkness comes and your
great n desires to sleep, spread the
bed, when she may peacefully rest and
you may retire to your ROOM"

Curiosities About Dentistry.

Those who imagine that the care Of
the teeth and the replacement of the
natural grinders with false ones is
something new under the sum" nay
be surprised to learn that artificial
teeth were made of ivory, placed on
plates of the same material and held
together and in place by gold wires and
rivets 500 to 1000 years before Christ.
Herodotus, "the father of history" tells
us that the Egyptians of the fifth dy-
nasty understood the diseases of the
teeth and their treatment. There are
several passages In history to lead one
to the belief that both Caesar and An
tony wore artificial teeth.
The date of the introduction of false
teeth into Europe is uncertain. They
were known in England as early at
least as the time of the discovery of
America. The Mathematical Jewel"
published in 1885, contains an account
of Sir John Balgrave. who caused all
of hys teethe to be drawne put and aft
er had a sett of ivory teethe in agayne."

Making her cat act as her plumber
was the ingenious feat that a woman
of Manayunk accomplished the other
day. This woman had noticed that one
of the pipes connected with the wash
stand in her bathroom leaked, and she
wished to locate the leak precisely
without tearing out any more of the
wall than was needful.
Accordingly she shut her eat up in
her p~arlor-the parlor is directly below
the bathroom-and into the basin of
the defective washstand she poured a
vial of the oil of valerian. Cats are ex-
cessiyely fond of the odor of valerian.
A cat would rather inhale this odor
than eat fish. The Manayunk woman's
cat after it had been in the parlor a
few minutes began to pur. Purring, it
crossed the room. 1t settled itself on
the floor with its face to one spot on
the wall. and here its mistress found 1t
when she came downstairs, its nose
glued to the spot, shifting and purring
ecstatically.
The wall was opened at this point,
and here, sure enough, the leak "a
found. Here the yalerian had trickled
through, imparting its intoxicating
odor to the cat.-Philadelphia Record.

NONSMOKERS HEALTHIER.
People Who Do Not Use
Develop More Rapidly.

There Is an easy way, if you are a
garette smoker, to tell whether or
It the habit Injuries YOU" said u ply
.ciIn. do you feel, after smoking, a
languor, a sinking and a great depres-
sion? Do you feel melancholy, hope
less, weak? If you do you should aban-
don smoking at once.
THE tendency of tobacco is to weak
IN the action of the heart. But In very
strong, robust persons this weakening
effect Is very slight. 1t Is not felt at
all, and these persons tobacco cannot
be said to injure. But in persons whose
hearts and constitution are frail the eff
feet Is strongly felt, the symptoms be-
ing those that | have just described,
and such persons ought not to smoke"
This specialist has tabulated the rec
ordS of all the smoking and nonsmok-
ing medical students of his acquaint-
ance for a period of nine years. He
has found that the smokers are shorter
In stature than the nonsmokers and
that they do not develop as well. In
the our of four years nonsmokers
gain pa per cen more in height and 26
per cent more In chest girth than the
smokers. The former, too, are quicker
than the latter. They learn quicker,
walk quicker-eXcel in the speed of all

RAILWAY MlLEPOSTS.
They Are of Use In Locating Acci-
dents Along fhe Road.

will You explain just the practical
benefit of mileposts along n railroad
track?" asked an inquisitive traveller OF
the superintendent as they flew past
one Of the white painted posts.
$50 far as the general public is con-
cerned," replied the superintendent, 81
don't suppose that mileposts are of any
particular benefit. The traveller can tell
by looking out of the car window how
far he is from the terminal points, but
I'm that he is not greatly interested.
"Some people like to figure out from
the mileposts how far they have trav-
eled or how far they have to 60, and
there are not a few who like to time
the speed of trains by the mileposts.
But that is not what the posts are for.
In the office of the division superin-
tendent is a profile or diagram showing
the location of every one of these posts.
"If an accident ccurs a rail breaks,
a ear lets down or anything out of the
ordinary happens between stations the
superintendent is notified of the prox
unity of the mishap to some particular
milepost. and thus the spot can be To-
Gated, and men are sent there at once,
and they can go in a hurry, for they
know whore the place is. Otherwise
they would have to move slowly be
tween stations until the spot was found,
and this means a loss of time much
more valuable than the price of the
mileposts, and it would be pretty hard
to railroad successfully without them"

John Aliens Wit.

While in congress Private John
Allen Of Mississippi could hardly be in
duced to give a serious answer to a
serious question. The older members
knew this and seldom went to the
southern wit for information, but new
men often came to grief by doing SC.
Shortly after Mr.. Littleield of Maine
had taken his seat for his first term
he wanted some figures in a hurry.
Turning to Mr.. Allen, he said: Pardon
me, sir. but you were at Gettysburg.
Can you tell me how many Federal
soldiers were killed outright there" Il
am very sorry. very sorry, indeed, that
I can't accommodate you" replied the
private" But the fact is that l was

A Remedy For Snake Bite.

There is a most remarkable account
of the exploring trip of an orchid hunt
err named Andre through an unknown
part of Venezuela. The party met
with terrible hardships and p~riyation,
and only about half of them got back
to civilization. They were in continual
danger from snakes, and the native
remedies, the only ones at hand, were
severe one One day Mateo Ramirez,
n of the men walking through the
jungle, was bitten just above the ankle
by a snake. Andre suspected that the
bite was not poisonous, but Mateo was
in mortal terror and allowed his friends
to subject lin to a remedy worse than
the disease Throwing him to the
ground, they wound a strong creeper
around his thigh until 1t cut into the
flesh and then burned the wound with
a live coal until the patient shrieked
in agony. Chewed tobacco and crushed
garlic were afterward rubbed in and
the wound bound up The snake bite
was cured, but the poor victim suffered
for many days from the remedy.-Les-
