Kicking Against the Umpire.

i have been to a great many ball
games in the last year or two said a
baseball "fan" last night at the Hillman,
but I've seldom seen a contest In which
there was more kicking against the UNI
pige's decision, or greater reason for kick
ing than there was in this afternoons
game.
Grand stand and bleechers alike sound
ed their protests often and loudly and
sometimes vehemently against Umpire
Blacks rulings. An ugly feature of the
case was the fact that almost all the
close decisions were made against the
home team. This was especially notice
able when the long line drive was made
to left field and close to the foul line.
The ball clearly fell inside the line, and
| believe that nine of every ten persons
who saw the ball hit the ground sup
posed 1t to be fair but the umpire called
1t foul
Il do not mean by this to impeach
Umpire Blacks sense of impartiality. but
1t does seem that he should avoid the
repetition of such errors of judgment,
however honest they may be. The kick
ing at today's game and the cause for
it. detracted not a little from the sport

Secreta Of a Iona Life.

You sometimes see a woman whose
old age is as exquisite as the perfect
bloom of her youth. You wonder
how it is her life has been a long and
happy one. Here are some of the reas-
ons:
She knew how to forget disagree
able things.
She kept her nerves well in hand
and inflicted them on no one
She mastered the art of saying
pleasant things.
She did not expect too much from
her friends.
She made whatever work came to
her congenial.
She retained her illusions and did
not believe all the world was wicked
and unkind.
She relieved the miserable and sym
pathized with the sorrowful
She never forgot that kind words
and a smile cost nothing, but are
priceless treasures to the discouraged.
She did unto others as she would
be done by, and now that old age has
come to her. and there is a halo of
white hair about her head, she is low
ed and considered. This is the secret
Of long life and happy one.-Chi.

An Indian Custom.

When an Indian girl dies her mother
often substitutes a doll for her little
one. She fills the empty cradle with
feathers, arranged in the form of the
child, and carries this around with
her wherever she goes, talking to it
and caressing it as she would her low
ing child.
If she does not do this, she ties in
tight bundle the toys, clothes and
armlets which belonged to her little
one, and, fastening this to the cradle
board, carries it as she had formerly
done her child. The Ojibways call
these "unlucky dolls" because they
represent the dead.
The reason the Indian mother car
ries her doll in this pathetic way
is because she thinks that the little
child is too small to find it's way to
Paradise. BY substituting the doll it
will help along until the dead baby
has grown large enough to make its
way to the spirit land alone; at least,
this is what the Indian mother be-
lieves.
The children of the Passamaquoddy
tribe Of Indians play with a doll not
more than couple of inches high. In
fact, it is smaller than the word which
means doll, for this word is "ampsku-
dahekanek" One had almost rather
go without make-believe babies than
to be obliged to call them by such an
outlandish name, don't you think so?
Just fancy a wee papoose crying, 81
want an ampskudahekanek!"
The Sioux doll is made of chamois
and deerskin. The curious thing about
it is that it is perfectly fiat. To judge
from this one might think that the
Sioux babies were systematically
starved. This is not the case, for they
are as round and fat and jolly as any
children you ever saw.-Boston Tray,

A HOUSE AUTOMOBILE.
Comprising ParIor, Dining Room and
Sleeping Rooms and Kitchen.

An ingenious house automobile is
on exhibition in Paris. AS described
by L'Automoblle the space utilized for
the living apartments in this travelling
house covers a surface of 11.SX5.25
feet, but were we not acquainted with
the actual figures we might be led to
think that the area was still greater,
so much room is there left to move
about in outside of the numerous piec-
es of furniture"
In the front part of the carriage is
a space measuring 6.5 feet in length
and 5.25 in width. in which are four
arm chairs. mounted upon slides,
which makes them convertible into
couches, provided with bedding, be-
sides a table mounted upon a forged
iron frame, the very ingenious design
OF which permits of folding it UP so
compactly that it is but four inches
thick. Thus is comprised a parlor, a
dining room and bedroom. In the
hind part Is a small box for shoes,
lockers for clothing, four drawers for
silverplate and other objects and
small kitchen, with special ventilation
closed by swinging doors. The liz
ing of this kitchen is of apoline, and
an opaline shelf continuing above the
lady's locker serves for holding des-
sert. A closet with a solid door. for
provisions, completes this compart-
ment. Opposite the visitor will find
piece of furniture consisting of a COM
bined toilet table with three hinged
mirrors, swinging wash-stand with
a mirror at the back. hot and cold
water faucets, linen closet with bev-
eled glass doors, and, for ordinary use,
a piyoting nickel basin with hot and
cold water faucets. This part of the
carriage is isolated from the front
part by folding doors.
Two lamps suspended from the
ceiling light the parlor, lamp sus-
pended by a flexible wire lights the
kitchen, and lamp with a metallic
reflector Eliminates the toilet room

MAPS ON UNIFORM SCALE.
Government Urged to Map All Their
Possessions on One Scale.

The international geographical con-
gress, at its recent meeting in New
York asked the government to make
a general map of America on n scale
OF 100000 AT the present time
three governments are producing maps
on this scale. which will cover about
one-fourth of the land surface of the
globe. If the United States should
make a similar map of the whole of
America it would include nearly one
third OF the area of the entire land
surface.
Within the last thirteen years four
of these international congresses
have done all they could to promote
the making of such a map There is
need for it. No uniform map of the
entire land surface exists on scale
large enough to serve many practical
and scientific purposes. There are
many maps of parts of the lands on
far larger scale, as for example nearly
all of Europe, large tracts Of North
America and parts of Africa: but a
map of all the. lands on a uniform
scale is also highly desirable for many
purposes.
AS Professor Pcnck has shown, none
of the large colonial powers has yet
produced a man of all its possessions
on the same scale. 1t is difficult,
therefore, to get aAclear idea of the
proportionate size of different parts of
these empires. 1t is not easy for the
seographer to compare different coast
lines, river basins, bays and so on, I'M
less he has them before him on ade-
quate maps of uniform scale. Here is
an illustration. The Germans are now
mapping China on a scale of IL ,000,-
coo, just as the French are mapping
the Antilles. With the proper sheets
OF each map in our hands we may at
once get the right idea as to the COM
parative size Of the areas embraced in
our war with Spain and in the present
struggle in the Orient.
When we speak Of map scale of
1:1,000,000, we mean that one inch on
the map equals 100000 inches in ma
ture;. or in other words. that an inch
on the map is equivalent to 1871 stat
ute miles. This is not large scale,
but it would be far more adequate for
the general purposes of the geograph-
er, the merchant. or the tourist than
any map we now have of the United
States. Our government survey maps
are on too large a scale to be conven-
lent for many ordinary purposes. and
our best map for general use, made in
Germany, by the way, is too small It's
scale is 5S3 statute miles to an inch,
and though the map contains as much
accurate information as it can hold, it
is too small to show all the details de-
sired by the student or traveller, or
needed to give an adequate impression
of the grandeur of the country.-New
York Sun
