CULTlvATlNG THE HAND.
How 1t May Be Made Graceful, Ex
pressive and Beautiful.

How It May Be Made Graceful, Ex.
pressive and Beautiful.
Most hands are as stiff and wooden
looking as if they were cast in plaster
A hand may be as expressive as the
face. There is the famous picture OF
the praying hands of Albrecht Durer,
which depicts nothing more than two
slender white hands with long pointed
fingers, delicate nails and transparent
skin. They are so clasped as to ex.
press the most profound religious de-
votion. Most hands express very lit
tie, or very little that is pleasing. We
have all seen the fat, pudgy hand, in
ert and expressive of indolence; the
thick, heavy red hand, expressive Of
coarseness or brutality, or the color
less, bony hand with large knuckle'
and thumb and inturned fingers, ex
pressive Of selfshness and grasping
but it is seldom that the we'll proper
toned, well kept, supple and graceful
hand Is encountered. Grace may bt
as much a characteristic of a hand al
of the figure. AS a rule, the Anglo
Saxon~hand is not graceful. This is :
characteristic of the hand of the Latir
races, which is generally flexible and
wildly expressive. Perhaps this is ons
reason the latter excel as musicians
for the utmost ease and elasticity are
required of the hand of a pianist, VIC
linist or performer on any other mu
steal instrument. No stubby, short
fingered hand ever gained the mastery
Of the bow or keyboard.

SUNDAY BALL NOT
ALLOWED At KOKOMO
Bear Story Issued From the
Ranks There.

Kokomo, Ind, March 1a.-It has
come at last. -.e
The announcement that all the fans
have been expecting and fearing, to the
effect that the sentiment against Sun
day ball in this city Is so pronounced
in official circles as to preclude the
idea of kokomo playing ball at all. has
been made by Manager. L. c. Morris,
of the kohomo team.
There now seems no chance for the
game in Kokomo. Marion is In the
same boat. Last year there was Sum
day ball here. and SO far as Is known
no serious objection was raised, but
this year, 1t is felt, 1t would be a diff
ferent story. So far as Kokomo Ia
concerned the stuff is off.
On top of this intelligence comes the
announcement that there will probably
be no ball in central Indiana at all,
for the same reason. There Is a
chance of course, that Sunday baH will
be permitted. but the chance is SO ex-
ceedingly slim that the fans are NOT
encouraged TO build much on IL.

.EARLH HAM RESTING
BEFORE DEBATE
All Members of the Teams Are
In Good Condition for
Contest.
TRUEBLOOD Is CONFIDENT.
SAYS HIS FoRENSICAL WARRIORS
WILL OPEN THE EYES OF BOTH
BUTLER AND WABASH CoLLEG-
ES TOMORROW NIGHT.

The Earlham debating teams have
at last reached the point where they
may rest on their oars and enjoy life
until tomorrow night.
Professor Trueblood has coached all
of the men both individually and col
lectively, until both the professor and
the members of the team feel that
nothing more can be presented upon
the subject to be discussed. The
question, Resolved, that the United
States should substitute the merchant
marine has offered more points for
close study, than has any question
which has been discussed by Earlham
for number of years, and the two
teams feel that they have the subject
we'll in hand.
Professor Trueblood says the Earl
ham teams will open the eyes OF
Wabash and Butler.
The affirmative team will meet the
Butler negative team in the Earlham
chapel, and the Earlham negative
team will contest the question with
the Wabash affirmative at Crawfords-
will meet the Butler affirmative team
at Butler college. In last years de-
bate, the Earlham affirmative team
won by a unanimous decision, at
home. but the negative team was de-
feated.
Attorney Ray X. Shivelep will pre-
side at the debate in this city and the
Judges will be Prof. James A. Wood
burn, Indiana university; Dean Will
liam P. Rogers, Cincinnati university;
Prof. Arthur G. Hall, Miami university.
The members of the Butler team are
Adams, Hyman and Ryan and the al
ternate is Reidenbach. The Earlham
team is composed of Edgar Farquher,
Perley Denman and c. Haworth, with
Morris Jones as alternate. The Earl
ham team that will meet Wabash at
Wabash is composed of Vincent Mich
olson. Levi Pennington, Lester Ha'
worth. with John Heaton as alternate
rrof. E. P. Trueblood will accompany
the team to Wabash.

M a Frtslcn Chateau In Hir.er.

1t is not all bliss to be invited to
French chateau in midwinter, no mat
ter how distinguished the host or how
romantic and artistic the domicile. At
least it isn't for the steam heated Bos-
tonian. Tapped in the luxury of sum-
mer warmth. A visitor to a distract
ingly lovely abode near Fontainebleau
says he put in twenty-four hours Of
physical anguish there and simply
came away wondering how his hosts
endured the arctic temperature of the
rooms. ''If meant to live in foreign
lands" says this shivering person, II
would go through the chilling process
which inures human flesh and blood in
France. What do these people do to
render the blood in their veins to
course like fire and act like an eternal
furnace?' That's a question Ameri-
cans abroad might well like to have
answered.-Boston Herald.

THE WILD CAIRO. .
One of the Most Interesting of On,
Native Plants.

One of the Most Interesting of Our
Native Plants.
A weed has been defined as "a plant
that persists in growing where it is not
desired Surely the wild carrot is a
most weedy weed from the point of
view of that definition and of the dis
like of the farmer As to the per
sfstence, our veteran farmer naturalist
John Burroughs tells US: Cut off the
head Of the wild carrot. and in a week
there are FIVE heads in room of the
one. Cut of these, and by fall there
are ten looking defiance at you from
the same root
The only fault of the Wild carrot,
as of other SO called weeds. is TOO great
success in life. 1t is guilty only Of
persistence But from q nature }over' :
point Of view there are. strictly speak
ing, no weeds No plant is disIiked.
On the contrary. the more a plant is
able TO strive successfully for life the
more OF interest it is. We can also
see and appreciate the beauty without
the "weedy" dislike.
Ii in this spirit observers will ex-
anime the wild carrot the verdict will
be that it is one of the prettiast and
most interesting OF our native plants.
The beauty is especially noticeable IN
the full bloom, or Queen Anne's lace,
form. Perhaps some may regard the
birds nest form as the most interest.

BRITISH CASTE.
Love of the English man For a Titled
Ruling Class.


The presence of a personal sovereign
is the outward and visible sign that
caste is still supreme in the British en-
pire. The external abuses of the feudal
system have been abolished in Great
Britain, one by one. until those that
still linger are almost harmless, but
the inner spirit survives to this late
day. and even now it's manifestations
are abundant in almost every part of
the social structure of the British Isles.
There is still alive the fiction that the
king rules and that the army of the
empire is his majesty's army. There is
still willing acceptance of the titled
aristocracy and also of an upper house,
the. vast majority of whose members
sit there by the right of birth only,
without regard to their individual
merits.
No doubt the British people could
change these things speedily and with
out violence if they really desired to
get rid of this Inheritance from feudal-
ism. But they have not got rid of it,
and this is evidence enough that they
do not wish to do SO.
The British see no reason to abolish
a state of affairs which the American
people look at with amazed wonder as
a survival Of the dark ages native
American finds it wholly impossible to
understand the mental attitude of a
certain man of letters in London. who
justified his ingrained toryism by the
assertion that he simply would not be
ruled by his equals

HIGH SCHOOL TO
PUT TEAM IN FIELD
At Meeting of Candidates To-
day, Allison Was Elect
ed Captain.
THE PROSPECTS ARE GOOD.
FOR SUPPORT DURING THE
COMING SEASON BY MANAGER
kARNS-SEVERAL CANDIDATES

At meeting of the high school base
ball candidates at the school this noon,
Carl Allison was elected captain and
Harry Harms manager. The prospects
at the school for a first class nine are
fair. II is hoped that when the sea
son opens that the team will be in fair
conditions to meet some of the high
school teams of the state if the stu
dents at the school will give them their
support, which has always been lack
inc in other athletic contests.
The team this year will have Allison
for tulrd base, Starr for short stop.
Spangler for second. Johnson for first,
and Harms for catcher. 1t is probable
that Lawrence, Clements. Fisher, Tai
liant, Ferling and several others will
try out for positions when the first
practice is called. There are also a
large number of freshmen who have
had experience on the Garfield teams
and ought to be able to make good on
the high school team.
The only weak place on the team
will be with pitchers. At present AL
HSOn IS the only man that mas ever had
any practice in twirling Johnson
mas also pitched, but it is not thought
that he will be one of the regular
pitchers.
Manager 4Aarns stated today that if
the students would guarantee to sup
port the team. he would secure games

1eat Of the Sun.

1t has been computed that the tenn
perature of the surface of the sun
would be expressed by $4,000 degrees
of Fahrenheit's thermometer, or be-
tween eighty and ninety times the tenn
perature of boiling water. This Is
about five times the highest tempera-
ture that man is able to produce by ar
tiicial means. The light given off from
the surface of the sun is reckoned as
being $500 times more intense than
that Of the molten metal In a Bessemer
converter. though that is Of an almost
binding brilliancy. If we compare 1t
with oxyhydrogen fame. the sun sheds
a light equal to 146 times the intensity
Of the limelight.
