Early Baseball Teams.

Baseball teams existed as early
as lS45, but the first league was
formed in 1857, when the National
Association of Baseball Players
was organized. This, as the title
implies, was an organization of
players lin fact, amatuer players.
They did not remain true amatuers
for long, however, and in 1871
baseball was placed squarely on a
professional basis, when there
came into existance the National
Association of Professional Base.
ball Players. 1t will be noted that
the players still governed the
sport, and they continued to do SO
until 1876. 1t was in this period
that there grew up the great
abuses which menaced the very
life of baseball, namely, gambling
and the buying and selling of
games. In 1876 the players were
deposed from the government of
professional baseball, and they
have never since controlled the
game. From Success.

II There Is Nothing In the Paper.

Frequently you pick up paper
and after glancing at the head
lines thrust lit aside remarking,
''There is nothing in the paper to.
day." Did you ever stop to think
what that phrase-there is nothing
in the paper today-meansa 1t
means that the day that has just
passed has seen no misfortune be-
fall anyone in your city; that no
FIRE has wiped away your neigh
boris worldly goods; that the grim
angel of death has crossed no
threshold of a friend; that no man,
driven by liquor, hatred or fear,
has taken the life of a fellow hu-
man; that no poor devil haunted
by the past or the misdeeds of
some other, has crossed the divide,
by his own hand; that many things
ought not to have happened. So
the next time yon pick up paper
that doesn't announce a tragedy
give a little thanks instead of
grambling because there is no

Teach the Hands.

'Tis an old cry that most boys
about to 60 out into life would
choose to be ten-dollar-a week
bank clerk than five-dollar-a a day
mechanics. Tine fault is not with
the pupil, but the tutor. The
dignity of soiled hands is not un-
derstood.
The man who makes things adds
to general wealth. When all of
us have surplus we need the bank
err. He is humanity's pocketbook.
But when questions of creation
and upbuilding come we need the
artisan. Despite its alleged down
fall the Tower of Babel was soma
thing of wonder.
The boy of today who wishes to
get to the real top of things must
learn the use OF his hands first.
After he has become craftsman
he may stay for the big show and
be a brainslnan.
There is no teacher who can
point ont roads for the mind. But
the roads of mind may follow and
in which it may pick up stones Of
value may be indicated. If Thom.
as Edison had not been a telegraph
operator be would not have be-
come a wizard of electrical appli.
cation. The mere school man
can't invent now appliance. That
the dissatisfied mechanic does.
Brains help. Hands are vital.
Teach the hands. If Napoleon
hadn't learned how to load a can-
moo at Brienne be wouldn't have
been able to come back from Italy

The Waste of Millions.

Of all the appalling waste of
wealth at Newport, there is none
more inoxpiicable to the outside
world than the leaving idle of
enormous establishments that cost
millions to build and millions more
to keep up. Some of these pala-
ces have surrounding lawns and
gardens covering as much as ten
acres; but most of them lie close
together in bewildering succession.
In Europe such magnificent struc.
lures would each own a spacious
park of many hundred acres. The
Newport villa is built, however,
not for comfort, not for rhyme or
reason, but purely for show. 1t
is a strange setting, gorgeous
surely, but suggesting neither
solidity nor permanency.
One is surrounded by a tree
crowned wall, which cost over
100000. 1t is empty; the owner
is away in Europe. That white
marble palace, Vanderbilt resi-
dence, is also unoccupied. There's
''The Breakers" also owned by
the Vanderbilts, the maintenance
of which costs half million dol
lars q season. And the Berwind
villa, the garden of which cost
hundreds of thousands and yet 60
displeased its mistress that she
turned it oyer to her servants and
will not enter it, it is idle.
You note splendid trees in some
of the yards. They have been
transplanted, most of them, flom
many miles island. That beauti-
full tree with the great trunk and
spreading branches was hauled
thirty miles by fifteen horses, with
many tons of earth clinging to its
roots. Its removal cost nearly a
thousand dollars. But that is a
mere item in the sum total of New
port extravagances. Broadway

Drought In Georgia.

The State of Georgia has passed
a prohibitory law which for
throughness casts that Of Maine
into the shade. Not only does it
close every saloon in the state, but
it does not allow liquor to be sold
by anybody, even druggist, for
any purpose whatever. People
who need stimuIants for medical
purposes may get what assistance
they can from pure alcohol, on a
physicians prescription. Even
this may not he furnished by the
druggist except ON the day the
prescription is dated, nor IN guam
titles exceeding pint. Most
stringent regulations are provided
for preventing violations Of the
law. The burden of proof that
alcohol is wanted for an innocent
purpose is thrown upon the drug
gist.
The Maine law is said to have
proved impossible of enforcement
in the larger cities. The largest
city in Maine has 10000 inhabit-
ants. But Georgia has one city
of 125, 900 and another Of 1000.
She has also twice as many negro
es as the total number of inhabit-
ants in Maine. The desire to keep
liquor out of the hands of this part
of the population, SO easily brutal
lied by drink, is responsible for
much of the spread of prohibition
sentiment in Georgia, and in the
other Southern States in which
the saloon has received SO many
staggering blows.
There will be an opportunity
now for the fairest test the anti
canteen rule in the army has ever
received. If the law is enforced,
the soldiers in the military posts
in Georgia can no longer find H.
quor outside. Let their post ex-
changes be made as attractive as
they can be without beer, and let
US see what statistics show at the
end of the year on the subject of
drunkenness ss.-Collier's Weekly.

Metals Return 10 Their Ore.

An interesting study of metals
has been published by the German
physicist, j. Otter, and therein
the writer propounds a very dif
fieult and interesting query as to
what becomes of the metals. As
is well known, the majority of
pure metals are in a very unstable
condition. BY the expenditure of
energy other chemical elements
which were originally amalgamat-
ed with the ores are liberated,
leaving the pure metal behind,
but these released chemical sgen-
cies are constantly awaiting the
the opportunity to re-enter the
combination. The question then
arises, what becomes of the rusts
Professor Otter asserts that the
oxides are finally transformed
again into ores and ultimately col
leet in the earth to be dug mp again
at some future time. A metal
when extracted from its ore is al
ways subjected to the action of
large number of alternative forces,
under which influence its weight
diminishes little by little, until
the metal disappears alto
eether. Its life may be short, or
it may be extremely long, but it
returns ut last to the earth whence
it came. 1t is to be noted that in
most cases it even reasumes the
form in which it was first found
40 an ore.
Iron or tin, which we extract
generally from other oxides, are
destroyed on oxidation. The prici-
pal sources of copper are oxides
md sulphides, and this metal dis
appears chiefly by oxidation or
sa!furation. Silver, which we
tind in the form of simple or COM
plex sulphidcs, is changed back
into sulphide with great ease, and
lead, whose principle alteration
products are the sulphide and the
carbonate is found chiefly in the
form of galena and caruse. Gold
and platinum, which are rarely
found other than pure, and which
are only slightly alterable under
the most diverse influences, disap-
pear by friction and mechanical
action.
Thus tho masses of metals pre-
pared indus,rially disappear little
by little and their remains are
scattered as dust that mingles with
other elements of the soil. Then
they meet with other saline sub.
stances and with water, which dis
solve and mineralize them, causing
them to enter into the cycle of
operations that is going on in the
interior Of the globe. There water
circulates in the cavaties of the
earth's crust and apparently they
take part in the reconstruction Of
minerals, which in the course of
centuries will form new metallifer.
Gus deposits to be exploited by
the industries of distant future.
