La grippe is epidemic catarrh. 1t
spares no class or nationality. The
cultured and the ignorant, the aristo-
crat and the pauper, the masses and
the classes are alike subject to la
grippe. None are exempt all are
liable.
Have you the grip? Or, rather,
has the grip got you? Grip is we'll
named. The original French term, la
grippe, has been shortened by the busy
American to read "grip." Without
intending to do so new word has been
coined that exactly describes the case.
AS if some hideous giant with awful
Grip had clutched us in its fatal clasp.
Men, women, children, whole towns
and cities are caught in the baneful
grip of terrible monster.
The following letters speak for them

American Seamen Object to the Petty
Officers Placed Over Them.
The great number of deseTtions in
the navy at the present time is appau-
ing. 1t is one of the greatest if not
the greatest problem with which the
navy department has yet had to con-
tend. During a single month recently
there We're 500 deserters. The reason
Of this disgrace to the pride of our
country can be attributed to many
causes.
Within the past two or three years
an experiment has been made which
has, it seems, proved a complete fail
ure. Recruiting stations, in charge of
naval officers, have been opened
throughout the interior of the country.
Here are enlisted men of almost every
occupation. When sufficient number
are recruited they are sent in crowds
to the different receiving ships on the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts, where they
are again transported to training ships.
On these they are given five weeks
training in the rr1diments of seaman
ship; they are then drafted to regular
men-of-war and entered upon the rou-
tine OF the service. Here they become
known as incubator sailors" AS a
general rule these men have never seen
salt water and have less idea of what
constitutes a sailors life than it is
possible to imagine This sudden
change of living invariably brings on
Dissatisfied ction. All this, of course,
only tends to increase the raw recruits
dissatisfa ction.
Our navy is by no means free from
foreigners-it is. in fact, overburdened
with them. Many of them, On account
Of their seamanship, are made petty
officers. Thus born and bred Ameri-
their own country by foreigners, many
of whom can hardly speak the English
language. Though these foreigners
are always good marines, being for the
best part Norwegians and Swedes, they
have not the knack of discipline and
are intolerable to anyone with Ameri-
can principles. Again, according to
the present system of maintaining the

In spite of the new ratiOns introduced
into the service it is not much better

quired to pay in part for their meals
out of their own pockets. The, equiv

never receive the benefit of the cheap

his own subsistence, it would go far to-

worst faults and one that is causing
great numbers to desert and return to
their homes.-Harper's Weekly.

Glass has at last been successfully

means supersede hand methods, all
feats Of hand-blowing have been out

The secret of the remarkable inven'
ton is still hidden, but specimens OF
tie work, done have been shown. Tho

est being thirty inches in diameter and
Nineteen feet long.
The new machine is the invention Of
John A. Lubbers, a glassblower Of AL
legheny, Pa. 1t has been built at the
Alexandria, Ind, branch of the Ameri-
can Window Glass Company's plant.
The process of blowing window gla IS
is simple in theory, but difficult in
practice. On the end of a long tube
a mass Of molten glass is collected.
This is then heated in a furnace and
gradually distended by blowing into a
large tube with straight sides.
To accomplish this without the pecu-
liar twisting and manipulation employ
Ell by the human glassblower has puz-
zled many clever inventors, and the
Luhbers machine was made successful
only after a great many experiments.
Lubbers has invented several labor
sa wing devices and this latest triumph
is likely to make him many times a
millionaire when it is generally in
stalled.
Skilled mechanics from the West1ng-
house factories in Pittsburg have been
working behind barred gates and high
walls for months in the erection and
installation Of the ma achines, which no
mali other than old and skilled en-
ployes of the company was allowed to
see
on certain parts Of the ma chimes and
therefore the secrecy.
So confident Is the company of the
merits Of the machine that it is pre-
pairing to spend thousands Of dollars
in its installation in all of the forty
one plants controlled by it in various
parts Of the country.
1t is expected that the device will
do away with hand blowers altogether.
So confident are the men that this will
be the case that many are getting out
Of the business. The better class of
blowers earn from $3.50 to 5000 a
month.-New York World.

About Fishes.

Fish are nearly the same weight as
the water in which they live, SO that
they can move in it with great ease.
The majority Of them also have an air
bladder inside of the body, which en-
ables them to go up or down in the
water at will. When a fish desires to
go down deep it can press the air out
Of this bladder by means of certain
muscles and thus increase the weight
of its body, and when it wishes 10
rise again it takes off the pressure. the
bladder fills with air again and Its
body becomes light enough to rise.

ART OF BATTING THE BALL.

Bresnahan, the Giants Rest Hitter,
Gives Points on the Game.
Confidence and good eye are the prin-
cipal things a baseball player must
possess If he wishes to become a good
batter, together with the ability to
Judge from the location of the oppos-
ing fielders where they expect the man
at the bat to hit the ball. The man
who stands close to the plate while at
the bat and bears in mind that every
pitcher, no matter who he is or what
ball over the rubber, can, with prac-
tice, become a good and, 1 may say, a
dangerous hitter, even If he has not
the natural ability of some of the
great batter of the past and present,
says Roger Bresnahan in the Illus
trated Sporting News.
One very bad fault many young
players have is the habit of pulling
away from the plate, as it Is called
when a ball looks as though 1t might
possibly hit the batter. How many
times have you seen a man step back
from q curved ball which second
after "cut the plate and was called a
strike, much to his discomforture
The remedy for this, think, is sim
pie one, which can be mastered by
any young man possessing the neces-
sary confidence: 1t Is simply to step
forward and meet the ball before it
crosses the plate. In this way the ball
is always in front of the batter, and he
Is, SO to speak, on top of it before 1t
breaks.
Many pitchers have a puzzling drop
ball which looks easy and fades away
from the bat when you strike at it.
On the other hand, many Of the best
boxmen are now using a rise ball
pithced with a side arm motion. A
either of these balls by stepping into
them to the limit Of the batter's box
as they approach the plate. The same
thing applies to balls either on the In
side or the outside of the plate.
1t is much easier to hit the ball by
running in on it, By meeting the ball
early it can be sent in the direction
OF the left field. Tha old theory that
If you wish to strike a ball toward the
right field you must strike at it after
it has crossed the plate is pretty well
exploded. BY stepping In and meeting
the ball in front of you it Is just as
easy, If not easier, to drive it toward
right field as 1t Is to pull it into left
field.

NOW READY FOR WORK
REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE PREPAR-
 ED FOR CAMPAIGN.
Preliminary Arrangements So Far Ad- vanced as to Permit the Actual Labor of the Vote Hunting
 to RrOceed.

New York, August 9.-The Republi- can executive committee met today and devoted most of it's time to details re- lating to headquarters, such as the division of duties among different members and authorized employees to take charge of work of various kinds which will be put the machinery in mo- tion.
 The general question was discussed by the members of the committee and while the tentative arrangements were made for the division of campaign work among the different members of the committee nothing definite was done and nothing was done until Com mitteeman Brooker of Connecticut, who was not in attendance today is present. Senator Scott. of West Va. who for two campaigns has had charge of the speak CTS, will have the assignment this year. It Is probable that the executive com mittee will also have direction of the campaign in his State and adjacent dls- tricts where the national committee will do its effective work. The exec utive committee will meet the mem bers of the congressional campaign comm fttee to discuss measures for joint action during tho convention.
 The first formal meeting of the com mittee developed the fact that prelim- mary arrangements~were far enough advanced so that the real work of the campaign can be proceeded with and the conditions In various parts of the country were discussed at some length. Steps will at once be taken to procure full and accurate information from trustworthy sources in every part of every State that is now considered a battle-ground. While the division of work will not be announced until Mir. Brooker returns, the different members of the committee already have begun work upon the lines suggested at to- days meeting.
 Soon after the meeting adjourned to- day Chairman Cortelyou saw Governor John F. Hill of Maine and F. M. Simp- son, Chairman of the Republican Com mittee of that State. Maine holds an election of State officers and Congress- men on September IF and while there is no doubt about the success of the Republicans they desire to make the majorities as large as possible for the moral effect 1t will have on other States.
