cripple: Voltaire. unmistakably ugly.

Reporters and Orators,

There have been errors in reporting
of course. There always will be such
errors. But inaccuracies of this kind
are usually insignificant, and they are
more than balanced by the dressing up
and revision which good reporters de-
vote to careless. illogical and some
times ungrammaticnl speeches. If it
were not for the mallgned reporter
nine speeches in ten that are not de-
livered from manuscript would read
like combination of bad grammar
and delirlum tremens. as Mark Twain
put 1t. SIT is the saving grace of re-
portorial revision that has made many
an oratorica reputation in this cOun-
try. The public speaker who does not
recognize his obligations to the men
who report him is an migrate. A just
punishment for him would be to print
his speeches exactly as he delivers
them. After two or three experiences
of that regimen he would have nothing
to say Of inaccurate reporters."-Chi-
cago Chronicle.

Work and Worry.

81 am working too hard. My work
Is killing me-" The man Is mistaken
Work does not kill. Work is medicine
to the body and mind and spirit Work
is the salvation of men. Work cures a
thousand ills. Worry kills. Dissipation
kills. Worry is largely a matter Of
nerves or indigestion or liver, or II
may be a quality of temperament or
1t may spring from envy or some other
hateful habit of thought. In most
cases worry Is concerning things pure
ly maginary-things that cannot be
helped. One of the best cures for the
worry habit is work. hard work OF
body and mind. Work requires concen-
tration of effort and mind. That makes
one forget his troubles. Work may be
made joy, and in the joy Of work
ing there is no room for worry. Right
living. right thinking, work-these are
specifics for most of the ills caused by
worry.

A GREAT BASEBALL SERIES.
How Boston and Providence Battled In
the League In 1884.

Probably one of the grandest series
of baseball games played by National
league clubs was that between tile
Bostons and the Providence Grays in
1884. The Bostons had won the cham.
pionship of 1888, and it was the am
bition of Providence cranks, who lived
only forty miles away from the Hub,
to wrest the laurels away from the
Bean Eaters. Every game that was
played between the clubs was at
tended by immense crowds, and the
excitement was at white heat.
The first game of the series In 1884
was one of sixteen innings and result
ed In a tie. the score standing to /.
The pitchers were Charley Radbonrne
and Jim Whitney and 10000 persons
saw the battle. The next day Provi-
dence won by a score of 9 to 1 in
nine innings, and Charley Sweeney
struck out nineteen Boston batsmen.
OF the first eight games Boston won
five and Providence three. When 1t
came time to meet for the four final
struggles the Providence team had
won every series from the other league
clubs and wanted to win the series
from the Bostons too. Radbourne ac-
cordingly was assigned to pitch in all
four games ON four successive days.
He was In such magnificent form that
in all of the games the Bostons We're
beaten and scored the sum total of one
run. One of the games lasted eleven
innings. 1t was played in Boston and
was finally won by the Rhode Island
ers by score of l to 0. Arthur 1r-
win. who was the shortstop for Provl-
dence, drove a long fly toward the
right field fence, and the ball went
through hole between the boards. 1t
was four bagger and decided the
game
Radbourne's wonderful pitching in
those days will never be forgotten by
those who saw him perform. He went
into the box game after game AID
pitched for nineteen consecutive con
tests. 1t was his remarkable twirllng
that was instrumental in helping Prov
idence to win the pennapt that year.
Sweeney jumped the club In the mid
die of the season, and Rad went
along single handed One feat that
was the talk of the baseball world In
1888 was his pitching in an exhibition
game at Trenton. The home club
would not allow Providence to play
with the regulation league ball and in
sisted upon substituting another Of
lighter weight. Radbourne, however,
accepted the latter ball and proceeded
to strike out every man who came to
the bat until one man had been re-
tired in the sixth inning. Then a play
er fouled the ball, which had not been
done before. The pitching distance
then was forty-five feet from the home
plate.

A Schurz Story of Lincoln,

CIe Of the many foreigners who
sought my intercession was young
German count whose identity was
vouched for by member Of the Prus-
sian legation. He had long row of
ancestors whom he traced back for sew
eral hundred years. He was greatly
impressed with the Importance of this
fact and thought 1t would weigh heav-
lily In securing him a position in our
army. If he could only have an "audi-
ence' with the president and lay his
case before him, he believed the result
could not be doubtful. He pursued me
so arduously with the request for a
personal introduction to Mr.. Lincoln
that at last succumbed and promised
to introduce him If the president per-
mitted. The president did permit. The
count spoke English moderately well,
and in his ingenious way he at once
explained to Mr.. Lincoln how high the
nobility Of his family was and that
they had been counts so-and-so many
centuries. WELL" said Mr.. Lincoln,
interrupting him, that need not trou-
BILE you. That will not be In your
way IL you behave yourself as a soil
dier." The poor count looked puzzled,
and when the audience was over he
asked me what in the world the presi-
dent could have meant by so strange a
remark.-Carl Schurz in McClure's.

Human CameIs

BLOOD SUBSTITUTE.
Why Saline Solution Is Sometimes In
jected Into the Veins.

JcCtcu iHtO tHo Nc'To'
Occasionally in cases of serious
wounds where there has been great
loss of blood the published reports
state that saline solution" was in
jected into the veins to supply the de-
ficiency. The average reader, however,
has very vague if any idea how
solution of salt takes the place of
blood.
Not to go into a complete analysis
of the blood it is sufficient to note
that Of 1000 parts, 7S0.15 is composed
of water, albumen 65 parts, sodium
and potassium S.371, colorlng mattS
Supplied by the red blood corpuscles)
133 leaving only some II parts to be
composed of iibrln, fat, calcium and
magnesium, etc Where there is serl-
GUS loss of blood a state of collapse
sets in because, the normal weight of
blood being reduced, the hearts action
is diminished, there being less resist
ance for that organ to overcome.
To counteract the result Of shock and
collapse it is necessary to stimulate
the heart by restoring the normal
weight; in other words, to get it to
work by giving 1t something to work
on. AS the analysis shows, of 1000
parts of blood nearly 800 are composed
of water and sodium, and therefore
plain saline solution makes good sub
stitute. The heart does not know the
difference, and it goes to pumping
away as usual as soon as this imitation
blood gets in the veins. The saline So
luton serves to tide the patient over
the danger point As the food is con-
verted into chyle, new blood is formed,
the red corpuscles are supplied rapidly
from the normal tissues, and the saline
solution Is thrown off through the Sc
cretions in the usual way.
Formerly TRANSMISSION Of blood was
the means employed, but this always
Objectionable method has been sup
planted. The greatest objection to the
TRANSMISSION of blood from one person
to another was that to supply the
necessary amount to restore the
wounded patient it was inevitable that
the volunteer should be almost as bad
ly drained, so that the physician would
have two patients on his hands where
he had one. Besides, there was always
the risk Of transfusing disease to the
patient with the others blood. Dogs
and sheep have been sacrificed to sur
gerry for this purpose, but most people
prefer to use blood of their own manu-
facture to any imported from beasts or
their fellow creatures.

The Toe Nails.

Owing to the friction and pressure to
which toe nails are exposed in all per-
sons who wear boots or shoes there is
great tendency to thiekening on the
underpart Of the free growth, the por-
tion Of the nail that extends beyond the
toe point. This thickened part some
times gets pressed against the flesh,
and then very painful corns result.
The preventive treatment Is to keep
the nails cut short and to remove the
rather soft thickened parts with a
blunt pocket knife or scissors blade.
