A Mistake.

Not one of us. even the most good
natured, likes TO have his mistakes
pointed out. We may appear not to
mind corrections and accept them with
a smile, but ii Is human nature TO
smart under correction, although some
Of us may be clever enough to conceal
the smart; hence the fewer mistakes
we call attention TO in others the bet
ter. Two-thirds of the mistakes we
make are trivial. Their correction is
unimportant. Why, then, notice them?
Yet some people do, and do so con-
stantly. A person speaks of having
done certain thing on Thursday,
when i'm reality ii was done on Wednes-
day. If no important point is involv-
ed, why call attention TO the mistakei
What good does ii do TO have the ex-
pct day set right? II is a matter Of
DO Importance, so why insist upon cor
recting the trivial error? Stanch
friendships have often been pricked
by this needle OF useless correction.
1t is Il great art. this art of learning
to allow others TO be mistaken when
the mistake is unimportant Few
learn II. but those who do are among
the most comfortable friends one can
have

BEGINNINGS of Baseball.

The history of the American game
dates from the first National Associa-
tion of Baseball in New York in 1858.
The first series of important match
games was played between picked
mines of Brooklyn and New York, at
Flushing, in the same year. Nearly
1000 personS--a large crowd for those
duys-paid their 80 cents head to see
the contest, The rules of baseball were
very crude In those days. The pitchers
position was simply limited to twelve
foot line forty-hvc feet from the home
base. behind which lie could take any
number of slips he wished All he
was required 10 do was to pitch the
ball as near as possible over the home
base. There was no penalty for wild
pitching or for refusing to strike Mt
fair balls. | once saw Il pitcher de-
liver sixty balls to Il single batsman in
one inning before there was Il strike.
Not until 1870 were there any para
phernalia for defense. Old time catch
ers' hands were Il sight with their
cracked joints and bruised palms.

A clergyman speaking ON charity

Thus" he once said in Sunday

making the round of his tenants cot,
tages collecting rents met little girl
whose beauty much impressed him.
"In the shabby front room of the
cottage the landlord talked for awhile
with the little girl, and as he rose to

warmed his heart.
"'Iet me see, he said, fishing In his

wha. I. Costs to Feel and Think.

Every throb of pleasure costs some
thing TO the physical system, and two
throbs cost twice as much as one. IL
we cannot fix a precise equivalent 1t
is not because the relation is not def
mite, but from the difficulties of reduc-
ing degrees of pleasure to n recognized
standard. or this. however. there can
be no reasonable doubt-namely. that
large amount of pleasure supposes a
correspondingly large expenditure OF
blood and nerve tissue, To the stinting.
perhaps, of the active energies and the
intellectual processes. 1t is n matter
of practical moment TO ascertain what
pleasures cost least. for there are
thrifty and unthrifty modes of spend
ing our brain and hearts blood. One
of the safest of delights. If not very
acute, is the delight of abounding
physical vigor, for, from the very sup
position, the supply to the brain is not
such as to interfere with the general
interests Of the system.-Alexande

Given Her Choice.

Little Harry's experience with death
was limited TO the decease of Il pet
canary which had been sent TO taxi

mantel.
His grandmother of whom he was
very fond, was taken suddenly i'll. For
some time after he learned of her con-

as If coming TO sudden resolution. he
tiptoed into the sickroom and. eau
tiousy approaching the bed, fixed his
serious big brown eyes upon his dear
relative and said. with a little quiver
in his voice:
Say, grandma, If you die, which

see you no more, but if you're stuffed
we can set YOU in the pal'lor.'

The Invention Of Spinning.

The invention of the art of spinning
was ascribed by the ancients to Miner
va, the goddess of wisdom. The date
1900 b. c. is given as that of the be-
ginning of the art In Greece, under
the direction of the king of Arcadia,
but pictured inscriptions on Egyptian
monuments show that the use of the
spindle and distaff was known in that
country much earlier. The first distaff
was simply stick, around which the
fiber to he spun was loosely cOiled,
held in the left hand; the spindle was
sort Of top set In motion by twirl
Of the hand, the fiber passing between
the finger and thumb of the right hand.
This invention was improved upon in
the course of time by placing the spin
die In frame and making it revolve
by mechanical action Of the hand or
foot in connection with Il wheel or
treadle, thus giving the true spinning
wheel. The first recorded use of this
was in the early years of the sixteenth
century, but 1t was probably made and
used long before this. The first spin
ming jenny, machine working eight
splndles, was invented IN 1867,

EvADES WIFE AND NURSE.
Jumps From Window, Runs Onto
Railroad Track and is Killed
hx Irain

Pittsburg, Jan. 7.-Evading his wife
and the nurse who had been employed
to attend him, G. w. Groom leaped 10
feet from the second story of his home
IN Quaker Valley, near Sewicldey and
ran onto the Fort Wayne railroad
tracks in front of freight train. He
was instantly killed.
Groom, at the time ct his death,
was suffering from nervous prostra'
ton. He was S5 years Of age and
and was employed by the Riter-Con
ley Manufacturing company at that
concerns Pittsburg office.
About week ago Groom was
stricken with nervous prostration
and his mind became temporarily un-
balanced. Last Friday midnight ne
evaded his wife and nurse and, clad
only in his night clothes, left the
house. He was found later in Sewick.
ley, suffering intensely from exposure.
Owing to this incident a closer
watch was kept on the patient. Sun
day morning he was sleeping soundly
with his wife and the nurse in the
room.
Awakening with a start, Groom
sprang out of bed and rushed toward
q window. Mrs. Groom and the
nurse attempted to stop him, but he
fought like a maniac.
While the two women hung onto
him, the frenzied man, who was OF
powerful build. cast both of them
aside and. unlocking the catch of the
window, sprang to the ground.
The house is not far from the rail
road tracks and Groom, heading in
this direction, went onto the tracks
just as freight train came along.
