"oId cy" Loves the Mazuma.

Cy Young, the grand old Trojan

of the most economical men in the
business. Unglaub the new player
that Washington recently secured
from Boston, tells this story on
Young:
1t appears that when the Boston club
was in Cleveland, which is not very
many miles from Cy Young's big farm,
Cy wished to telephone some instruc-
tions to his farm manager, and he re-
sorted to the long distance telephone
as a means of quick communication.
While Cy was telephoning, Unglaub
and Mcconnell happened to stroll up
to the telephone booth. When Young
had ceased talking and was getting
the necessary change out of his pocket
to pay for his message, Mcconnell,
who is youngster just fresh from col
lege said to Young:

DEAL LIGHTLY WITH THE OUNCE
Reasons Why Some Children Simply
Cannot Learn.

A small coterie of French doctors is
at present studying school children
and has at the moment under Its es
pecial observation that infantile phe
nomenon known as the Ounce. The
existence of the Ounce is frequently tc
be attributed, they declare, to faulty
hygienic environment, unsuitable food
or tactless treatment. incidentally
they assert that a disposition for
mathematical studies Is no criterion
of a capacity for original or vigorous
thought, and that the ability to deal
with numbers is often observable in
the very weak of mind, says the New
York World.
The Ounce, they say, is often any
thing but Ounce. The poor child
may suffer from weakness of sight, or
lnclpient deafness, and his teachers
fail to note the fact. Morbid shyness
and self-consciousnsss, often charac,
teristic in children, are the so-called
dullard's inability to learn. All chill.
dren do not progress with the same
alertness. The phenomenon OF grown
ups who are ten years behind their
age, in regard to mentality, has been
noted by all physicians. Corvisart,
Napoleon's doctor, declaring that
these minds often prove the finest
when they reach their maturity, and
that the fact of their backwardness is
invariably sign that a ripe old age
will be reached.
The personal character of children
say these French doctors, requires to
be trained in respect to pluck, initia
tive and interest, before the purely
mental attributes can be expected to
come into play. Children who evince
dislike to play should be taught thai
success in play and kindred matters
is the surest guaranty of success IL
the great game of life later on. Par
ticular care must be taken in the
selection of schools and school-sur
roundings for children who are I'm
usually fat or overgrown, or who show
tendency to be what is known al
"old-fashioned." When children are
likely to become the butts of thei
companions, parents cannot be to,
careful in deciding as to how the!
shall be trained. Observation and thu
advice of physical attributes, are tn,
safest guides if the rearing of whole
some men and women be, as /
should be, the end Of early education
