American farmers were never more
prosperous than they are today. The
aggregate value Of wealth produced
by farmers in 1907 transcribed the
record OF 1906, which was by far the
highest ever before reached, says the
NatiOnal Magazine. The grand total
value of agricultural products for 1907
approximates $7500,O0O,000, or over
SG'OOO,OOO more than the crop value
OF 1906, and more than 81 900, 900 900
more than the crop value for 1905.
Expressed in percentage the value of
agricultural production for 1907 was
10 per cent greater than I'm 1906: II
per cent greater than in 1906; 20 per
cent greater than in 1901; 25 per cent
greater than In 1903 and 81 per cent
greater than In 1899.

Lame Back Prescription.

Considerable discussion is being
caused among the medical fraternity
by the Increased use of whiskey for
lame back rheumatism. 1t is an al
most infallible cure when mixed with
certain other ingredients and taken
properly. The following formula is
effective: ITO ono-half pint of good
whiskey add one ounce of Toris Com
pound and one ounce Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla Compound. Take In tablespoon
full doses before each meal and before
retiring"
Toris Compound Is product Of tho
laboratories of the Globe Pharma-
ceutical Co., Chicago, but 1t as we'll as
the other ingredients can be had from
any good druggist.

Smart Woman Repaired Gloves.

Many women have been obliged or
have preferred to replace long silk
gloves, not by new pair, but by
short ones, which they sew to the per-
fectly good arms of the old ones.
This seam, however, makes an I'M
slightly line which Immediately pro-
claims economy to all the world. One
clever woman crocheted instead of
sewing the parts together.
The crocheted band was in a pretty
pattern, and of silk to match the
gloves in shade, was an ornament in
place of n blemish. and for months
her friends haunted the stores in a
vain search for a counterpart.-Pitts-

CURVE PITCHING.
Radbourne Used the First "Rise" Of
jump" Ball,


Curve pitching got its greatest de.
yelopment after 1883, in which wear
the artificial restraints were removed
and the pitcher was allowed to deliver
the ball as he pleased, which means
overland. At that period the out
easiest of all curves to throw. was
falling into disrepute among major
lcagucrs. The incurve. by the limita
tons of the human arm smaller but
quicker deviation than the ont, was
temporarily much III vogue. The drop
remained, as always, Il favoritc. Sci
entific change of pace. the standby of
such great early Gay pitchers rs Harry
Wright Asa Brainard and Al Spald-
ing, was temporarily lost. Radbourne,
Il tremendously speedy overland pitch
er, came along with the first rise" or
Jump ball. He had wonderful de-
velopmcnt Of the wrist. the thumb
and the two first fingers. The limi
tations of the arm, as well as the hos
tile attraction of gravitation. make
the rise difficult. Many believe it to
be impossible This curve can be de-
livercd only with straight overland
throw, and the only way to give the
ball Il back spin is to jerk the fingers
down its surface as the hand passes
down to release it. But Radbournc
had the speed. the fleXibility and the
grip to do it. So has "OId Cy" Young
OF this day. When Young gets it to
working right his teammates recog-
nize it by the number Of men who go
out on little pop flies and fouls. for
it has only slight jump. two or three
inches.
There is Il jump ball, however. which
does not depend on spin and which
may be called the false rise" A very
tall. long armed pitcher. like Addie
Joss of the Cleveland Americans. gets
it when he throws an overarm ball
toward the batters knees. The ball.
coming downward with great speed,
packs the air below it. Just when the
ball begins to lose speed the elastic
air cushion for 4 fraction of second
has equal power with the attraction
OF gravitation. This air cushion car
ries the ball horizontally for few
feet until further loss of motivn brings
1t to the ground. This parallels the
old eXemplar Of the schoolbooks-the
windows broken by an exterior explo-
sion fall outward because Of pressure
from the air cushion within.--COllier 8.
