tenders for the highest baseball honors.

James JOhnstone viii represent the Ma
uOnaI League
In the two sets OF worlds series
games Played since the National and
American leagues were rivals, Tommy
Connolly and Jack Sheridan repre-
sented the American League, and Hank
O'Day ofdciated in both series for the
Nationals. ODay is considered the best
umpire IN the. older league. and pTOba-
bly, would have been selected again had
he not rebelled against a fine in the
middle summer and resigned, which
was the indirect cause Of the trouble
on the Polo Grounds when Umpire
Johnstoue was barred BY McGraw &,

quality Of grit that President Pulliam
decided 10 reward the arbitrator by ap-
pointing him c..= Of the umpires in the

pOintments VIII be made when the Ma

II Gould Not Re.

W. w. Keen, the Philadelphia sur
geon, has number of scrapbooks
filed with anecdotes about physicians.
These anecdotes are odd, from the fact
that they all throw upon physicians
a most unf1attering light. To illustrate
their character, DR.. Keen quoted one
of them recently.
"a physician was driving through
the street." he said. "A friend stop
ped him.
doctor said the friend anxious
~, have you heard that horrible
story about Williamson?
"'No,' said the doctor. What story
is that?
ga story to the effect that he was
buried alive
"'Buried aliveY said the doctor.
Impossible. He was one of my pa
tients. ;"

The ChiId's Mistake.

The teacher had been explaining to
the class in etymology the meaning Of
the word "gamy" as an ending in COM
pounds, and had taken as illustrations
the three words ''polygamy," "bigamy,"
and 'monogamy." "Polygamy, chill
dren," she explained, lis the condition
of having several wives; bigamy, the
condition of having two wives, and
monogamy that of having only one
wife,"
After discussing various other roots
and words, she reverted to those she
had first explained, and put questions
to test the knowledge of her pupils.
"Now, children" she said, "when q
man has many wives, or a woman has
many husbands, what do you call it?"
"Polygamy," was the response.
"And what is it when there are two
wives or two husbands?'
"Bigamy."
''Very good But If the right state
Of affairs exists, and a man has only
one wife, and a woman only one hus-
band-what is 1t then?"
"MOnOtOny."

Kafir Woman,s Courage.

One Of the first explorers Of the In
terror of South Africa was William Cot
ton Oswell noted hunter and friend
Of Livingstone, to whom he rendered
important aid. In his biography the
following story is given from one OF
his African letters:
An incident highly creditable to KAT
fir womanhood occurred just as we
reached Mabotse. The women, as is
their custom, were working In the
fields, for they hoe, and the men sew.
A young man, standing by the edge
of the bush, was chatting with them
A liOness sprang on him, and was car
rying him off, when one of the women
ran after her, caught her by the tail
and was dragged for some little dis
lance.
Hampered by the man in her mouth
and the woman behind her, she slack
ened her pace, whereupon her assailant
straddled over her back and hit her
across the nose and head with a heavy
short-handled hoe until she dropped her
prey and skunk to cover.
The man was the woman's husband.
Would Mrs. Smith do as much for Mr..
Smith? Could she do more?

WONDERS OF LITTLE THINGS.
What Man Would Have tn Do to
Equal the Feat of a Cheese Mite.

What Nan Would Have tn Do to
Equal the Feat of Cheese Mite.
There is certain little fly that
makes 40 steps in running three
inches, and all in one-half a second OF
time. To equal this, in proportion to
his size, a man would have to run at
the rate of twenty miles a minute.
The common flea leaps 200 times It's
length, To show like agility, man six
feet tall would have to leap a distance
Of 200 feet.
The cheese-mite is about e-quarter
Of an inch in length, yet it has been
seen to take the tip Of its tail in its
mouth and then, letting go with a jerk,
leap out of vessel six inches In depth
To equal this, a man would have to
Jump out of a we'll from the depth of
IA feet.
Equally strange things arc found
among the plants and vegetables. A
student Of nature tested the growing
force Of a squash. When it was IS
days old and measured q inches In
circumference, he fixed a sort Of har-
ness around it, with a long lever at
tached. The power of the squash was
measured by the weight it lifted. Two
days after the harness was put on it
lifted go pounds. On the 10th day it
lifted 5000 pounds.
The seed Of the globe turnip Is about
one-twentieth part Of an inch in diam
-
months the seed will be enlarged by the
soil and the air to 100000 times it's
original size, and that in addition to a
bunch Of leaves.
It has been found that turnip seed
will, under fair conditions, increase it's
own weight fifteen times in one minute
Turnips growing in peat ground will
Increase more than $4,000 times the
weight of their seed in one day.
