PLAY BAsEBALLovITcH.

Boris Seuyoivine. who attended the ..eace conference at Portsmouth as cor respondent of the Novoe vremya of St Petersburg. has just started home. after a long tour through the United States. He boasts that in his time he was the only sportsman in the Cniver- sity of St Petersburg. according to the Kansas City Journal.
 IL is an institution without athletes. The students are either pasty-faced digs who work like Scotch scholars md whose exercise consists in occa- Tional walks, or dissipated young oloods.
 Souyoivine fell in with the English residents of St Petersburg and got to oe an enthusiast over athletics. He played on an English seeker football .eam, rowed. boxed and became fair hand at tennis.
 -Why, that's only a refinement of sur national game he said in refer ing to the American game. after the game. Our game is played by the peasants all over Little Russia
 They use ball of about the same size and a round bat. In place of ,ases there are two lines about thirty Tsrds apart
 .-On one of these lines stands the selder of the team that is in: on the pther the batsman and the pitcher The latter simply losses the ball up in he air-same principle as batting up sie<, and the batter tries to hit it out The pitcher uses all kinds of tricks to Ieceive the batsnsn.
 When the ball is struck the bats nan tries to run to the other line and pack again If the ball is caught be- lore it touches the ground. CT if be is ,ouched with 1t before he reaches the inc. he is out You can see thst it is ,aly a little Ike cricket. but more like base ball"

screamed with Pain-Suffering Near ly Broke Parents Heart-Speed-
 fly Cured by Cuticura.

T wish to inform you that Cuticura Remedies have put q stop to twelve years of misery l passed with my son. As an infant l noticed on his body Ted spot, and treated same with different remedies for about five years, but when the. spot began to get larger 1 put him under the care of doctors. Under their treatment the disease spread to four diff ferent parts of his body. The longer the doctors treated him the worse it grew. During the day it would get rough and form like scales. At night it would be cracked, infamed, and badly swollen, with terrible burning and itching. When I think of his suffering, it nearly breaks my heart. His screams could be heard down stairs. The suffering of my son made me full of misery. l had no ambi- tion to work, to eat, nor could l sleep One doctor told me that my sons eczema was incurable, and gave it up for bad job. One evening l saw an article in the paper about the wonderful Cuticura and decided to give 1t a trial. l tell you that Cutcura Ointment is worth its weight in gold. and when l had used the first box of Ointment there was great improvement, and by the time had used the second set of Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent, my child was cured. He is now twelve years old, and his skin is as fine and smooth as silk. Michael Steinman, Sumner Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., April l6. l905."

THE BACKYARD PROBLEM.
First the Soil Must Receive Atten- ton, Then Cover Unsightly Fence
 with Lovely Vines.

The first gardening problem to tackle in an ordinary back yard is the soil, and it is generally the last to receive honest attention and a square deal" It is probably full of brickbats and other builders rubbish and almost devoid of available plant food
 The first year or two a part of the garden allowance should surely be put into compost, which should be thor oughly mixed with the soil when 1t is spaded. Don't give up the most stubborn, sour-looking soil. If it will grow pig weed the chances are that it will grow something more desir- able. The finer the soil is made the better Wood ashes, lime and manure will all help the soil in texture as we'll as in the line of plant food.
 Next, the fence and ugly outbuild- ings must be hidden. Vines will do this. The rear elevation of the house deserves the same careful treatment. O. the permanent vines Boston ivy is best for stone and brick. Virginia creeper for wood. Wistaria Is excel lent for great cities, but seldom, if ever, blooms there. Its foliage is worth the cost. It needs iron rods for support.
 Annual vines of many sorts will cover the fences the first year or so and pay their way in cut flowers. Nasturtiums, scarlet runners, wild cu- cumbers, morning glories, are all good and cost little There are more seeds in some packets than you can use. Divide with your neighbors. Halls honeysuckle can be grown from seed if necessary for economy's sake, but nursery grown plants give quicker re- suits. They eventually climb high on verandas and will make beautiful hedges if they have a framework of woven wire fencing Their white and straw colored blossoms make fragrant and graceful table decorations.

HE RAN FOR LAWYER"
Eut There Was Doubt as to Whether He Had Ever Caught

4 man from Pennsylvania went to Vineland on business errand. The town was strange to him, and he was unacquainted with the man Ga lawyer) he had gone to see. The directions he received were so indefinite that he found himself on the elge of the town without having come to the house he sought Then he met an old negro and asked the way of him and learned that the house lay about quarter of a mile farther down the road.
 "The man I want to see is law yer" he said to the old man. "Is this Mr. Dash down the road lawyer?"
 He aint no lawyer that 1 ever heard tell of, answered the negro.
 You're sure?'
 The old negro scratched his head in deep thought. Then a gleam of re- membrance lighted his eye.
 Now l think of it, boss" he said, "'pears like I do recollect he ran for lawyer one time"

PURPOSE OF THE COURT.
As Understood by Lawyer Who Knew How to Circum-
 vent It.

Hon. A. c. levitt, lawyer politician and man of sarcastic wit, was once trying a case in the supreme court in elfast Me, his home city. The judge presiding, before being called to the bench, had tried many cases against Jewett, who did not entertain very high opinion of his ability, relates the Boston Herald.
 In his closing argument Jewett, in defiance of the rules of the court, started in to read some law to the jury. The court pounded on the bench and said: MT. Jewett, you must not read law to the jury in your closing argu- ment" Jewett kept on reading with out so much as a glance at the court. The court, in thunderous tones, order ed him to stop.
 Jewett, who had by this time read all he intended to read, turned calmly to the judge and said: Did your honor address mel"
 "I said" roared the judge, you must not read law to the jury in your closing argument. 1 will give the law to the jury What do you suppose the court is here for?"
 What is the court here for?" re- sponded Jewett, in high falsetto, "l suppose you know, sir, to keep order with the aid of the sheriff, sir, with all due respect to the sheriff, sir

"Be Pleasant Every Morning Until Ten O'clock; the Rest of the Day
 Will Take Care of Itself 2

Will Take Care of Itself"
 This is one of the best little ser mons we know. Hav9 you ever stopped to think that the morning is the time when your temper is usu- ally ruffled, and have you ever stopped to think that the cause of bad temper in the mornin; is nearly always because your stomach has not been working properly during the night? It has contained a lot of indi- gestible substances that form gas and makes you have dreams. It breaks up your rest and you wake up in the morning tired, instead of re- freshed, as nature intended you should.
 Our grand sires required no ad- monition to Be pleasant every morn. ing until 10 o'clock; the rest of the day will take care of itself" for they digested their food and woke up fun of life and energy ready for the days duties, and this was because they lived on simple foods instead of high ly seasoned palatable connections, which contain no nouriShment. Ma ture gave us milk, wheat and eggs, and on these foods person can live indefinitely, but if the milk is skinned, and if the outside of the wheat is taken off the kernel, and if the lime, the salt, and the iron, which is in the outer part of the wheat berry, if these are all removed, you have simply starch alone; the starch goes into the stomach and becomes sugar.
 Do you know that a person would starve to death on plain white bread and water? Do you know that he could live indefinitely on whole wheat bread or on whole wheat food ana water? These interesting facts are all set forth in a book called Back to Nature" which tells about proper living and gives recipes for meals of the simple lind--the kind that makes you strong and well; the kind that makes you Pleasant every morning until 10 o'clock" This book is puh. lished at great expense, but it is given free to every reader of this paper. It is an advertisement of "EGG-O-SEE," the great food-whlch is made from whole wheat, which is baked and predigested and is all ready to serve from the package you buy at your grocers. You get more life and energy from a 10-cent pack age of EGG-O-SEE than you will get from thousand dollars worth of white bread This is no idle claim. It is a scientific fact. We want to tell about this simple food question, so write us and say Please send me copy of your book Back to Ma ture,'" and the book will be sent you at once without charge.
