A DUEL WITH BASEBALLS

A Frenchman challenged an Ameri-
can to fight. The American, husky
six-footer from Yale, who had pitched
on the baseball team and stroked the
crew, was 10th to accept, and took the
matter as something Of a joke. The
count pressed his desire for satisfac-
ton, and at last the son Of "Old Ei'
consented to meet him, STIMULATING that
he should choose his own weapons Sec
onds were agreed upon, and the mode
of combat chosen by the American was
baseballs at twenty PAGES. It was dan
gerously close range for man who has
spent three years twirling inshoots and
outdrops over a twelve-inch plate and
likely to be a pretty accurate shot with
baseball; but the Frenchman was
game, and they met on the outskirts
Of the city at daybreak. ~,
Each was to- have three shots, and
the count won the toss and thereby the
privilege of leading off, Perhaps he
had never seen a baseball before, and
at any rate the man from Yale had no
difficulty in lodging the adamantine
spheres which the son of Belle France
sent scaling in his direction.
Then the American opened fire. The
first ball grazed the Frenchman s
shoulder; the second lodged in the pit
of his stomach, and the third, an in
shoot, caught him full on the point of
the chin. He went down and out, and
never challenged another American citi-

The rhea answers that question in

Mutton and Lamb
BY CORNELlA c. BEDFORD,

The best mutton comes from animals
which are fully years old and well
fed. They are the best interlarded with
fat turnout the fesh,, giving juicy, we'll
Favored meat.
When selecting mutton, see that the
fat is white, clear and hard; the
Scared skin on the forequarters will
be nearly red, the lean meat firm and
juicy. Ram mutton has dark, coarse
grained flesh with fat of a yellowish
tinge; when. cooked it is of rank taste.
Mutton is divided into sides and each
side into fore and hindquarter. The
forequarter includes the shoulder, neck,
rack and breast. The rack is usually
cut into chops. These rib chops some
times have all meat scraped away from
the long rib bones-they are then called
Frenched chops. = ... ~
When the ribs are not cut the piece
is sometimes used as a roast. The
shoulder may be boiled or roasted; when
for a roast it is frequently boned. The
neck is used for broth. The breast
makes "a. good stew or haricot.. ~ :.
The hindquarter consists of leg and
loin. The loin is used whole as roast
or may be divided into chops. An Eng
fish chop is cut from the loin, is nearly
two inches thick and has the stringy
flank, end cut off almost up to the bone
The leg is one Of the most popular cuts

dren's ears, all ignorant Of the danger
of such a habit. There are several OBJ
vious things fraughtt with danger to
the ear, such as picking with pin,
but people don It think-not having the
matter explained-why blow on the
side of the head is such a bad thing.
The reason why children's ears
should not be boxed is that the passage
of the ear is closed by a thin mem
brane, especially adapted SO that it is
influenced by every impulse of air, and
with nothing but the air to support it
internally. What, then, can be more
likely to injure this membrane than a
sudden and forcible compression Of the
air in front Of it9 IF any one designed
to overstretch or break the membrane
he could scarcely. devise a more eff
cient means than, bringing the hand
suddenly down upon the passage of
the. ear, thus driving the air violently
before it with no possibility for its
escape, but by the membrane giving
way; Many children are made deaf
in this way.

color the flesh is a brownish pink, the

as roasts without subdivision.
