Last spring suffered from la grippe

friends who was visiting me asked me
to try Peruna and did so and found
it all and more than I expected. It

ART OF BATTING THE BALL.
Bresnahan, the Giants Best Hitter
Gives Points on the Game.

Bresnahan, the Giants' Best 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 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
his reputation may be, must put the
ball over the rubber, can, with prac-
tice, become a good and, l may say,
dangerous hitter, even II 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 man step back
from a curved ball which a 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 1t
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
On the other hand, many of the best
boxmen are now using a rise ball
pithced with side arm motion. A
batter has much better chance to kill
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 III
side or the outside of the plate.
1t is much easier to hit the ball by
running in on 1t. By meeting the ball
early II can be sent In the direction
Of the left field. Tht old theory that
If you wish to strike 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 1t is just al
easy, If not easier, to drive 1t toward
right field as 1t is to pull it into left
field.

not to be a struggle between government
and government, between one nation and
another. 1t was a rebellion, and there
was really no central authority, no arms
or warlike stores, no navy, no treasury
or financial system or responsibility. 1t
was only a brave anod patriotic people,
small in numbers, without discipline or
military experience, without arms and
without money, rushing thus bare-handed
into a conflict with the mother country,
their own government; powerful nation,
which had recently been raised by the
genius of the elder Pitt to the front rank
among the great warlike nations of the
world-a nation whose military posts and
possessions already dotted the globe,
whose victorious navies covered every
ocean and sea, whose morning drum beat,
as Webster said, was heard round the
world 1t was against such a power as
this that this handful of patriots had
thrown down the gage of rebellion and
defiance.
Washington is known in history as
providential man; that is, a man raised
up by Providence to fill a great place
and perform a great mission. However
this may be, he certainly had great parts
and great and peculiar fitness for the
most difficult and trying place which he
filed in history. He had had expert
ence in the previous Indian and French
wars, and had proven himself wise,
competent and heroic officer He had
great personal advantages for command.
| He was of fine physique and imposing
presence, a splendid hors eman, carrying
with him ever the port and air of au-
thority and native majesty-an ideal
commander.
So when this noble Virginan appeared
before that northern army and drew his
sword as their commander under those
Cambridge elms his fame had preceded
him and he was received with shouts OF
welcome and of confidence. Then all
men knew it was to be struggle to the
) death.
Hardly a better instance does history
: afford Of patience under provocation, Of
! logged determination under difficulties, o
unconquerabe will and courage, holding
on so long and coming out triumphant a
last over such mighty opposition. Thes
great qualities. as we have already seen

and the lofty mistaken soul, tina

MACHINE TO BLOW GLASS.

One of the Most Marveiou. Consrtx-
sncss In the World OF Industry.
Glass has at last been successfully
blown by machinery and, as has gen.
orally been the case when mechanical
means supersede hand methods, all
feats Of hand blowing have been out
done.
The secret OF the remarkable inven-
ton 10 still hidden, but specimens of
tho work done have been shown. The
cylinders are Of immense size, the larg-
est being thirty inches In diameter and
nineteen feet long.
The new machine is the invention Of
John A. Lubbers, a glassblower of AL
leSheny, Pa. 1t has been built at the
Alexandria, Ind. branch Of the Ameri-
can Window Glass Company's plant.
The process OF blowing window glass
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
large tube with straight sides.
liar twisting and manipulation employ
ed by the human glassblower has pug
zled many clever inventors. and the
Lubbers machine was made successful
only after great many experiments.
Lubbers has invented several labor
saving devices and this latest triumph
Is likely to make him many times a
millionaire when 1t Is generally In

Skilled mechanics from the Westing-
house factories in Pittsburg have been
working behind barred gates and high
walls for months in the erection and
installation of the machines, which no
man other than old and skilled en-
ployes of the company was allowed to
see.
Patents have not yet been granted
on certain parts of the machines and
therefore the secrecy.

merits of the machine that It is pre-
pairing to spend thousands OF dollars

parts of the country.
1t is expected that the device will
do away with hand blowers altogether

be the case that many are getting out
of the business. The better class OF
blowers earn from $3.50 to 5000 q

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 Ia
grippe. None are exempt all are
liable.
Have you the grip? Or, rather,
has the grip got you? Grip is we'll

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.

in history who have won fame by avoid
ing battles, like the Roman Fabius, and
even by great retreats like Xenophon

The difficulties which encountered
Washington when he took up his great
trust as commander-in-chief of the con-
tinental army were most complicated
and immense. The theater of the strug-
gle was a vast one, geographically,
stretching along the Atlantic coast from
Massachusetts to South Carolina, while
the whole population was only three mill
ions-not very much greater than that
of the State of Michigan, and not so
great into a million as that Of Illinois.
Out of this small, scattering and peace
full population an army was to be raised,
organized and equipped capable Of con-
