WHEN MILESTONES CHEER.
They Always GLADDEN. the Heart of
the Pedestrian.

In a walking trip a milestone along
the way is the most companionable
fellow in the world; your spirits rise
as you near him as though you were
about to greet a human friend, and
they keep almost consistently on his
high level till his brother mile dis
tant advances to meet you.
And when you overlook one of this
friendly company because of an en-
croaching bank or screening boughs,
says the Travel Magazine, his neigh
Dor further on comes to you doubly
welcome. At the latter end of this
passage in the journey your spirits
flag trifle as though oppressed by a
sense of desertion You may even
scowl at the overhanging bank which
is more than party to this conceal
ment
Those worthy persons who attend to
the roads should see to it that every
milestone within their province stands
out frankly from it's leafy background.
Observance of this, however, would
rob the wayfarer of that leap of the
heart which is his when the stone
tells the story of two miles done rather
than one. For however much the land
scape and the minute world at his feet
he is still keenly alive to the virtue
of decent distances covered in his
days journey.

OLD SOAkERS
Get Saturated with Caffeine.

When a person has used coffee for a
number of years and gradually de-
clined in health, it is time the coffee
should be left off in order to see
whether or not it has been the
cause of the trouble.
A lady in Huntsville, Ala, says she
used coffee for about 40 years, and for
the past 20 years has had severe
stomach trouble. 81 have been treat
ed by many physicians but all in vain.

A Whistler Criticism.

The late James Mcneil Whistler
was standing bareheaded in a hat
shop, the clerk having taken his hat
to another part of the shop for COM
parison. A man rushed in with his
hat in his hand and supposing Whist
Ter to be clerk angrily confronted
him.
"See here" he said, ''This hat
doesn't fit"
Whistler eyed the stranger from
head to foot and then drawled out:
well, neither does your coat.

ing so, I'll be hanged if l care much
for the color of your trousers. "-"Un-

IN LIFE'S BRIEF SPAN.
Experiences, Joys and Sorrows of the
Human Existence.

The loves and friendships of indi-
viduals partake of the frail character
of human life, and are brief and un-
certain. The experience of a human
life may be shortly summed up: A
little loving and good deal Of sor-
rowing; some bright hopes and many
bitter disappointments; some gor-
geous Thursdays when the skies are
bright and the heavens blue, when
Providence, bending over us in bless
ings, glads the heart almost to mad
ness; many dismal Fridays, when the
smoke of torment beclouds the mind
and undying sorrows gnaw upon the
heart; some high ambitions and many
Waterloo defeats, until the heart be-
comes like charnel house filled with
dead affections, embalmed in holy
but sorrowful memories; and then
the chord is loosed, the golden bowl
is broken, the individual life-a cloud,
a vapor, passes away.-Matthew Hale
Carpenter.

relics of the early days of the repub-

of foreign and domestic coins, dating
as far back as 1893. Some of the in

PITCHERS come close to being the de-
clslVe factors in baseball, after all is
said and done. Batting by the teams
is so much a matter of the form shown
by the opposing pitchers that it is
hard to arrive at a balance between
the effectiveness of the pitcher and
that OF the batters. The only way to
judge Of the real batting ability of
team is by the work it does against
pitchers of known efficiency, as teams
and batters which hold good records
with the stick in some cases do not hit
good pitching, but fatten their records
against that of the weaker kind. That
pitching holds the preponderance in
the game over batting is shown by the
fact that the best batters are doing
well when they get one hit out of
three times at bat, and that when
pitcher is going at his best even the
best batters fail to hit them success
fully. One of the troubles in reaching
a true balance in the relative impor-
lance of pitching, batting and fielding
is that there is not always good pitch
ing when the number of hits are
small. There are two reasons for this.
One is that the pitcher does not work
with his fielders, and not few errors
are really due to bad pitching. The
other is that pitchers do not always
play their part in stopping base run
ming. The catcher plays an important
part in this latter respect in throwing
to bases, but the pitcher is, if any
thing, of more importance still. The
catcher must depend to no small ex-
tent upon him to hold men close to
base, and he can prevent the batter
from helping the base runner to adj
vance by using the right kind of de-
livery. When a pitcher is twirling
good ball, not only in the way Of hold
ing down the hits, but also in helping
his fielders and catcher along, and do
ing his share in preventing base run
ming, it is poor team indeed which is
not able to win.

But the reform spirit grows daily
The revolutionary society is increas-
ingly formidable. Nobody here would
be surprised at national political
conflagration and revolution which
would be as different from the pres
ent sporadic outbreaks as a war is
from a skirmish. But, at the same
time, nobody expects China to go
back to the old days. From what 1
could CLEAN of the opinions of Sir Rob-
ert Hart and the oldest diplomats,
merchants and missionaries, a general
massacre of foreigners is not an i'm
possibility; but it will not be by gov
eminent connivance as before. And
whatever comes, China is inevitably
destined to become one of the nations
controlled by the western ideals of
civilization.

American golfers are yearning for
simplification of the rules. They want
to walk the links in calmness and
serenity, unvexed by the complications
of a mixed and confusing code. Not
long ago the executive committee of
the United States Golf association
sent an intimation of the frame of
mind of our players to the conserva-
tors of the code, the rules committee
of the Royal and Ancient Golf club of
ST. Andrews, Scotland. In the friend
ly reply the chairman said that the
rules were to be revised and that a
draft would be sent to the American
committee for amendments and new
suggestions. Furthermore, member
of the st. Andrews club in this coun.
try has been elected to the rules COM
mittee. Many of our golfers believe
that it will be idle to tinker the old
code again Originally framed to suit
conditions on few Scottish links, the
revisions of every five or ten years
have not clarified the rules, and in
gore instances have created a conflict
of judgments. 1.-THE rules have been
added to, subtracted and divided
enough to quote an American player,
land it is time for new set" But
there must be no change in the old
golf!
