 Matrons of the west may be inter- ested to hear the details of the Nige- rian native baby's morning toilet. Anything over three months old is no longer "baby'' to the native mater familias and is bathed with the other children, generally numerous brood, in the chill morning air before sunrise. The little mite yells lustily while the cold water Is splashed over it's brown body and generally continues the cho- rus when put aside to dry. Towels do not form part of the household equip ment. The bathing process finished, the infants are subjected to q sort of water cure treatment. The mother seizes child, scoops up handful of water and, using her thumb as kind of spout. squirts it with extraordinary dexterity into the youngsters mouth and down it's throat. Protests in the shape of loud gurgles. horrible chok- ings and desperate struggling are quite unheeded.

BASEBALL MEN SETTLE GRIEVANCES

The final settlement of the minor league troubles that threatened d base ball war was ratified at brief ses-
 sion of the National Baseball Commits sion in Cincinnati yesterday. The pro- testing leagues, the American Associa- tion and the Eastern League, have agreed on the terms. The commission brought up the question of price of tickets at the worlds championship games and fixed the maximum price at g and the minimum at 50 cents. At the meeting of the commission the resignation of President P. T. Powers of the Eastern League and President O'Brien of the American Association were presented and accepted. This action grew out of the change of the two leagues from a Class |'A' league to Class "AA''. MT. Powers was suc- ceeded as president of the association by M. H. Sexton of the Three League, and Dr. F. c. Carson of the Central League to succeed MT. O'Brien.

work and take up with the fistic arr lists. The training table and work of the college boys while on the road has paved a way for the youthful aspirant who will not find is so d fficult as many beginners find it to get down to the training of the experienced boxer.
 Philadelphia Jack O'Brien who is managing Casey says that the boy has the hardest punch that he has ever run up against. O'Brien met Casey a few years ago and took him into his training camp. Casey put the gloves on for three rounds with "Jawn" and gave him the hardest three rounds of practice he ever received. Casey un- like many beginners abstains from hard drinks of any lzind and never smokes. Philadelphia is unusually per- turbed over the idea of a college man fighting a professional and will turn out in large numbers to witness the match.

Miniature Trees That Are Grown In
 China Bowls.
 In the window of florist stood some quaint china bowls, in each of which grew a tree-not shrub, but full sized tree, dating back many years. "Yes," replied the florist to the writ er's inquiry, they are real trees-oaks, naples and beech trees. We get them from Japan, where the secret of how to rear them is known only to few. They are raised from seeds or special ly selected cuttings, which are watch ed and tended with that marvellous patience inherent in the eastern races. Fifty years may pass before the tree is considered salable. During this pe- riod the plant is trained and its nat ural tendencies subjugated to the will of the rearer. The gardener prunes and trims and rears and directs with what Carlyle called genius-'an inf. nite capacity for taking pains.' A way ward twfg may be bound up for two or three years to insure it's correct growth. Periodically the tree is re- potted. Each time this happens the roots are carefully examined and use- less fiber cut away. Everything is done to concentrate the life of the tree in the smallest possible space. And in time, after years of labor, the plant loseA it's ability to send out long, lusty shoots and becomes a delightful miniature of its larger brethren."- Montreal Standard.

Edward Casey of 127 Center street, and until the Christmas vacation q student at Villanova College has been matched to meet Al.

Young Casey was born in Bridgeport about twenty-one years ago and at an early age began to develop more than usual physical attainments. He was not considered much of an artist with the gloves be- fore he went off to school being rather awkward. At school where he played football and made name for himself as tackle on the Villanova team he began to develop more than unusual cleVerness with his hands and feet.

Ignorant. but Careful.

Ignorance nearly always makes fools of us," said a lecturer. "I re- member a man, ignorant of etiquette, who once sat beside me at public dinner. I noticed that this man, as soon as he was seated, took up one by one the knives at the rigEt of his plate and began to try their edges on his thumb. A waiter behind him leaned forward and said in a hurt tone:

All of the athletes ap- peared except Bonhag and Porter who were represented by Martin Sheridan. The hearing of the athletes attracted a great deal of attention in the amateur world but it was thought by many that the committee had no grounds on which to suspend the athletes and that they would be re-instated at the meet ing was Sforegone conclusion. Each man was asked in his turn concerning charges against him which when an- swered Justified the reinstatement &C., ton.
