to advantage when occasion required.
 The bows of 1700 were no worse than
 those of to-day. What modern lad
 would sit through a two-hour sermon without the aid of much wriggling and squirming and an occasional kick or two? MT. W. R. Bliss, in his book on
 colonial meetinghouses tells how the youthful portion of the congregation wass regarded by our very great grandfathers.
 Certain laws enacted in Massachu- setts at the end of the struggle with
 King Philip declared that the war was
 a puniahment for "the disorder and
 rudeness of youth in many congrega-
 tions in time of the worship of God" John Eliot, pastor at Roxbury, evil dently thought this harsh charge to lay at the boys door, for he expressed his opinion that they had nothing to do With it, and that the war was a judg- ment on the people for wearing wigs Tn 1866 John Dawes of Boston was empowered to take care of all young people that are disorderly in time of Gods solemn worship and to correct
 che unruly ones with a small wand. In 1723 John Pike was paid sixteen pounds for Keeping boys in subjection in the time of service for six months. When hired the second time he doubled
 the price. ..
 1 On Cape Cod four men were appoint cd by a town to take care of the boys on the Lords day, and to whip them if necessary. Such oiflcers were termed
 Inspectors of youth" In Duxbury, as
 lato as lT60, committee was chosen to look after ''the wretched boys" on the Sabbath.
 They did not stand up, as their elders did, for the long prayers but sat with their hats on during ye whole exer- cises They ran out before the prayer was doilt and 'ye blessing pro- nounced." They were guilty of Rude dna idel Behaver, such as Smiling and
 Larfng and Intieing others to the
 Same Evil" of Pulling the heir of
 their naybers in time of publick Wor-
 ship
 Ones imagination might go on and add the paper balls and nutshells, which
 were probably thtrown from the gal leries where "the wretched boys" were
 imprisoned, the shaking of benches, the sly pinohes, and the ebullitions oi
 youthful spirits which went to make
 up the sum total of colonial wicked ness. Youths Companion.

"Three years ago this summer I had a very bad case of eczema in my hands. They were so bad had to keep them bandaged for eight weeks l had four different doctors. The first three made them worse. The last one helped them for little while, but the next summer they broke out worse than ever; and as had seen Cuticura adver- tised in the papers great deal, I thought l would try it. l took the complete treatment of Cuticurs Soap, Ointment, and Pills, Before 1 had used one box of Ointment my hands were all smooth again, and now I am doing all the work for four and my hands are all free from eczema, and l cannot say too much in praise for Cuticura. My hair was falling out fast and a few applications of the Ointment stopped it.. If there is any part of this letter that would be the means of others trying Cuticura, l am willing you should publish it; as 1 would like others to be cured as 1 was; for no matter how long any one has suffered with eczema, Cuticura Remedies will cure it.

He Knew Mrs. Barker.

The Bankers possessed three large,
intelligent tortoise-shell cats, and some
times as many as three families Of kit
tens. Mrs. Barker was much too ten
hearted to drown or chloroform the
superfuOus kittens, yet she could not
keep them all; consequently she de
voted much tine and thought to find
ing happy homes for the tortoise-shell
progeny.
One spring the daughter Of a neigh
Dor who had moved some years pre-
viously to another town happened to
pay Mrs. Barker a visit. As the little
visitor was about to depart, Mrs. Bark
er exclaimed suddenly:
"By the way, Alice, wouldn't you like
a kitten to take home with you?
I'D like it," returned Alice, wistful-
~, but the very last thing father said
when l came away was: Alice. what
ever else you do, don't bring home any
cats"

Doubled the Number.

In criticizing some proposed changes
In a bill before the Senate, changes
which seemed to him to be alterations
In phrasing rather than in meaning,
Senator Tillman told a story which the
Milwaukee Sentinel reports, of lady
who was looking at a house for rent.
1.-THE house suits me very WE'LL" she
said to the landlord, "but there is one
thing 1 object to-
"Well, madam, any reasonable altera-
ton" the landlord murmured, suavely,
would, provided you took a three
years lease"
I'D take a three years lease" she
said, eff the house had more Closets
"The number of closets shall be dou-
bled," said the landlord.
Every WE'LL" said the woman, and she
signed the lease
After she had gone the landlord said
to his clerk, John, take a carpenter
over to number thirty-seven and have
him divide each of the closets in two"

Novel Toy Which Should Be of In
terest to the Youngsters.
Miniature baseball games are not
new, but as in the majority the game
can only be uninteresting. A Maryland
inventor has schemed up one which
can be played regular baseball style.
Sides can be chosen, and pitching,
catching and batting INDUCED in with
out danger to the furnishings of the
room occupied. The base is a board
Of the shape of the ordinary ball field,
and arranged correspondingly. Recess
es of different sizes are formed at all
positions. A small leather covered ball
attached to a cord is used for pitching
the end of the cord being secured to the
board. small bat is used to bat the
ball. In playing this interesting game,
one person, representing the pitcher,
takes his stand at the foot Of the table,
while the batter stands at the head
with the bat in his hand. The pitcher
must throw the ball so that it will pass
clear of the board and between the
pegs, in which event the batter endeav-
ors to strike it. If it be thrown clear
of the board and between the pegs,
it is called a Strike" whether
the batter strikes at it or not. If it
strikes the board or passes outside the
pegs, 1t is a ball If the batter strikes
the ball and it drops into any one Of
the infield or outfeld recesses, the ball

is regarded as having been caught by
a fielder on the fly and the batter is out.
If the batted ball strikes the board in
side of the diamond and passes into
either of the recesses representing the
inield players, the pitcher must then
throw the ball into the recess at first
base. If he succeeds in doing this the
batter is out; otherwise he is safe. If
the ball be batted SO that it strikes the
board outside of the diamond it is a
base hit, and the batter is entitled to
place his game piece upon first base
The pitcher must then serve the ball
into the second-base recess in order to
prevent the batter from making a two
base hit. If the ball be knocked COM
pletely over the edge Of the board or
table at either end or sides, it is re-
garded as hit to the pitcher, who can
catch the ball on the fly, or if he fail
to do so can serve 1t to first base. The
ordinary rules regarding foul apply.

GIRL FROM OUT THE WEST,

Makes Friends Broadway with
POIiceman's Handsome Horse.
Broadway was very interesting to
the tenderfoot from the West, but she
hadn't expected to find such a demon
strative new friend there as she ran
across recently, says the New York
Herald. On one of the busiest corners,
where the crossing is as dangerous and
difficult as any mountain pass in the
old days, she was walking into the jaws
Of death with the fearlessness and con-
fidence of ignorance. She was snatched
almost impatiently from the passing
danger by a mounted policeman, who,
by the way, wasn't mounted at the
time.
His horse, a fine, spirited specimen
of the equine race, was patiently stand
ing at the corner Of the curb, watching
the passing throng and his master. Said
master hurriedly thrust the dazed ten
derfoot to the sidewalk out Of harms
way. She bumped into the horse. Both
were surprised and both begged pardon
In their own ways. The girl said, rap
turQusly:
ooh, you beauty"
The horse whinnied softly, as If she
were an old and beloved friend, rubbing
his nose against her sleeve. Then the
girl started across the street once more.
When she was halfway over she felt
light touch on her shoulder and at the
same time heard several men laughing.
In surprise she looked to see what could
be happening. There stood the police
mans beautiful steed, looking pleading
~ at her.
The next instant she had the horses
head in her arms and her face against
his glossy he2d, tears of pleasure in her
eyes. Around this odd pair flowed the
stream of traffic, for this was busy
CENTER but many people stopped to see
the strange sight. The next instant tile
gruff officer had brusquely called to the
horse, and when the horse failed to
come at his call he rudely grasped the
rein and took the horse away from the
tableau, which Immediately dissolved
as the girl went her way with moist
eyes, a happy smile and a longing in
Ter heart for her beloved home in the
far west and the horse she loved so
we'll. That a strange horse in this
great city should SO kindly greet her
was balm to the homesick girl.
