VOGUE OF JESSAMIfJES.

l Commenting on the vogue of the cape l jessamine an exchange says: l H. New York the most aristocratic of 1 all flowers is the gardenia, known in the ] south as the cape jessamine. Strangers 1 r. that city have been known to form mistaken impressions of women who were not in the least fashionable merely be- cause they happened to be wearing gar 1 denias. Men who wear gardenias with 1 evening dress are said to take on a dis 1 tinction that no other buttonhole flower can impart
 This quality is of course, expensive and the gardenia costs in the winter usually S1.50. When the delicate flowers 1 are scare and the stems are long and the leaves green and waXy the most ex- pensive florists get as much as $2 for 1 them.
 They are so fragile that they last only short time. A touch turns the petals l brown and the flowers never survive the night
 This spring the gardenia has for the first time become democratic and taken it's place on the baskets carried by the street sellers of flowers. It can be bought at 10 cents. Never before was it to be acquired in this way and at such a price. The reason was explained by florist recently to a reporter.
 ''Fresh gardenias are in such demand
 
 are very profitable" he said. Con sequently all the growers are devoting a great deal of time to them.
 When the spring came all the green houses were full of gardenia plants still blooming and likely to bloom for some time to come. Then there was the spring crop to be sent away to the summer resorts, for which there has been so far no demand this year.
 This combination of circumstances and the fact that the persons who buy gar denias are out of town and the occasions for wearing them are also past left the large supply with no demand So after they had been for a short time in the flower shops they were handed over to the street dealers, and for the first time these high-priced blossoms were sold on the street for a mere song. "The growers will see to it, however, that nothing of the kind happens again.

From the New York Press.
 So many prodigies are appearing that the circus felt obliged to restore it's for mer freaks to glory. Naturally the cheap museums are opposed. Whenever the G.. s. on D. comes to the city the dime exhi- bitions lose money, and it was merely a courtesy to the latter that the former elected to cut out all monstrosities. If the management could exhibit the nature fakirs in a side room it would reap har- vest of lucre. If it could parade the finan- cial freaks named by Senator LaFollette on the floor of the Senate it would make a million a minute Precocity Is a bet ter word than freak. We desplse it in children-unless they are own; We are dis gusted with it in young men, when we style it freshness. It is fortunate for the ordinary run of mankind that precocity does not last.
 The word "precocity" means liberally, s.ripe before its time.' All New York loves pr. John A.

Experience of Beginner at the Game

 You mean the top," said his friend 'It doesn't matter what it's made of so long as it's properly balanced
 So the young man came to town and found his way to the toy department of the great emporium. There an ex- pert was doing wonderful things and the young man watched him with ad- miration.
 Do you use any special sort of tops for those tricks?'' he asked.
 .Tops, sir?'' said the expert. T beg your pardon; I see what you mean. You mean the bobbin. No; it's just the or dinary kind that we sell here" So the young man purchased set and had it put Gown to the housekeeping ac- count and bore it off home to his family.
 i've brought back with me" he said to his wife as he unpacked it, "a set of the new game. Here, you see, are the sticks, and this is the bobbin.
 You mean the cylinder said his wife.
 .'The man at the shop said bobbin,' replied the young man fiercely
 Then the man at the shop didn't know what he was talking about" said his wife, with cold disdain. ''l read a leading article in the newspaper this morning in which it was always referred to as the cylinder
 Well" said the man, T think you'll find you're wrong. However, Smiths been playing the game for the last fortnight, and he's bound to know. I'll just step across and ask him.

 Then he consulted the directions which had come with the box. The first of them began, Place the gyrator on the ground"
 The young man laughed sardoncally and said that this let him out. He added that it was, at any rate, comfort to him that he knew the whole lot now and that there was nothing else it could pos sibly be called.
 Yet when lie came in from his first half hours practice he observed to his wife, well. l cant catch the darn thing anyhow"

LENT AND FASHIONS.

If Lent casts any shadow at all over the gayety of the French capital it merely throws a temporary mist over it's bril- | liancy But, like all else, Lent sits lightly on the conscience of the Parisienne, and her costumes lose nothing of their origl- nality and charm during the 10 days Of penance.
 The Parisienne in chic in her trotteur, spirituelle in her tea gowns, raVlsnihS
 in decollette-always Parisian. And what is "Parisian?' A mere name,
 vague, intangible quality that one can neither name nor define? Not at all It
 is something quite definite and concrete a unique attribute that is peculiar to the French woman
 It is novelty, dash, the sixth sense in dress that raises with touch the simplest
 costume above the plane of the common
 place It is an instinct that warns her
 against what has been, teachers her to
 pass what is, and prompts her to reach
 out towards what will be.
 The Anglo Saxon is conservative, cau-
 tious to a fault, says Mrs. Osborn, in The Delineator for April. She critcises, wavers,
 waits. By the time she adopts an idea
 the Partisan has dropped it and turned 10
 something else. When the American or
 English woman wears last years gown
 you are immediately aware of it. You
 commend her good sense and spirit of
 economy and leave her with fret1ui
 feeling of ennui. But the French woman
 It may be the extra inch to the width Of
 her hair, to the height of her heels, to the line of her collar, or the smart bow al her throat that catches your eye and blinds you to the fact that her gown is an old one.
 You may dislike the arrangement of her
 hair. You may watch breathless to see her come to grief with her heels Her collar may make you gasp for breath.
 Yet withal you watch her. An, that IS

PRECOCIOUS YOUNGSTERS
 WHO STARTLED WORLD

licitation of Ned Sothern, a rime-drama which Sothern will shortly produce. This precocious youngSter is not a namby- pamby big head, but a well developed athlete. That sounds miraculous. Pre- cocious geniuses usually have protruding foreheads and emaciated forms. The Ma rion Sims blood courses through young Wyeth's veins.
 Walter Damrosch, a genius himself at an early age, has discovered in 7-year- old girl Miss Alice Shaw the coming greatest pianist of the world" At the age of Miss Shaw composed waltz, and before her 18th birthday had written 60 compositions some of which have been heard in public. Sngularly enough this precocious genius is possessed of rare beauty. She may become second Teresa Carreno.
 Mozart was a precocious genius, At 3 he could play the plano, and at com posed little pieces which were pronounced gems. The common people thought the boys wonderful power over the piano came from ring which he wore; but when he took off the ring he played as well as before Mozart died at 36. He was worked out before his time. Too much genius. But think of the Marriage of Figaro" the Magic Flute and 'Don Giovanni" his masterpiece! Enough for one man, surely.
 Of Mozarts six children only two were living at the time of his death. Speaking of the last child when an infant, Mozart said proudly: "The boy will be true Mozart for he always cries in the very key in which I happen to be playing
 Baratier, German, at the age of 5 knew Creek Latin and French, besides his native German. At g he knew He brew and Chaldaic, and could translate German into Latin.

ordinary question in history or geography and at 3 years knew French and Latin, as well as German. Ennius Viscont read Greek, Latin and Italian before he was years old. Montcalm knew his letters when a child in arms. At he could translate the most difficult Latin authors. At he could read Greek and Hebrew, and was good at arithmetic, history, geography and metallurgy. At he had read all the chief poets. orators, histo- rians, philosophers, grammarians, etc., but died before he was 8.
 Just to prove they were not in the os- lerizing class, and that there are aged as well as infant prodigies two veterans. James White, Sr.. and William Imbrie, each 60 years young, allowed Herbert Martin to persuade them to race 100 yards for Hook Medallion. Our old friend, Patrick O'Brady, of ShawmuclSry, held the watch. The race was a splendid dash, one that would have made the .Travers Island boys sit up and look. Imbrie won by one yard in 12 seconds. Pretty good for three-score, eh? White and Imbrie declare they are just beginning to grow. Glory to ever green and vigorous old age

SQUEEZE PLAY KILLED
BY UMPIRE'S RULING
Decision OF o'LoughlIn In Recent
Game at Detroit Practically Put
II Out Of Existence.

Umpire SILK OLoughlin made
ruling In recent game at Detroit be-
tween the home team and the White
Sox which practically puts the squeeze
play out of existence. Dougherty
started to steal home in the third In
ming while Siever was standing on
the rubber ready to deliver the ball to
the plate. AS soon as Pat started In
Payne ran up In front of Davis and
caught the ball, preventing George.
taking swing at II. Fielder Jones
declared he had been interfered with.
but O'Loughlin's ruling was tho as
long as Siever had not started to
wind up his delivery he had right to
throw the ball to the plate TO stop
runner. the same as he had to throw
to first or any other base.
Rule 81 OF the playing rules de-
scribes n fair ball as any ball deliv-
cred to the plate while the pitcher is
standing on the rubber and the ball
is over the plate. Any fairly deliv-
cred ball must be called strike. An
unfairly delivered ball is a ball that is
delivered to the plate which does not
come over the plate and the umpire
must call II a ball.
Manager Jones declared that any
ball delivered while the pitcher liz
standing on the rubber is either ball
or strike. and that the catcher has
no right to run up on the batter
and prevent him taking a swing. Ac-
cording to the ruling made by
O'Loughlin the squeeze play is practi-
cally killed. because the runner might
start before the pitcher winds up. al
though he is on the rubber ready to
deliver the ball
THE only way n pitcher can prevent
man stealing from third to home
after he is on the rubber ready to
pitch is for him to step back on the
rubber and throw to the plate" gaid
Jones. After pitcher is on the rub
ber and delivers the ball to the plate
1t is either ball or strike, and the
rules explicitly state that. When n
right-handed batter is on the plate he
would have his back turned to third
base and he would be unable TO see
that the runner was coming In, and
II he swung on the ball he would be
out for interference with the ball.
according to the ruling made by
OLoughlin. The batter would be un-
able to determine whether the pitch
er intended to pitch or throw the ball
to the catcher to prevent the runner
stealing"
OLoughlin declares the play has
been ruled on by President johnson.
III Siever had started to wind up for
his delivery before Pat started. the
play would have been all right
