NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-The Rev.
Henry F. Xavier. expressed Sunday
from his pulpit in st. Josephs Roman
Catholic church in Yonkers, n. Y, his
intention to chastise publicly every
couple in his parish whom he finds
spooning in secluded streets and lovers
lanes.
II intend in future" he said, "to use
my cane on all the couples 1 catch sit
ting together on the wall along North
Broadway. The sauntering of young
people OF opposite sexes along shady
lanes at night and spooning in dark
corners must cease.
There are too many long courtships
in the parish. Every young woman
should not hesitate to ask her suitor
what his intentions are If he calls fire.
quently on her and yet shows no dis
position to ask her to be his wife.
Matrimony is too sacred a sacrament to
be lightly regarded"
Father Xavier advocates early mar
riages. AN old maid,' he said, lis as

An old bachelor is an abomination,

see the advantage which were likely
to be gained when the rule was passed
that one player could be substituted for
another at any time, and after it was
put in effect by the rules committee
kept one or two men on his team for
not much of any other reason than that
they could frequently walk to the plate
and smash the bah safely to the field
when it was needed.
There was Sammy" Strang, for in
stance. That young man played a
much larger part in helping the New
York team win a championship than
he was given credit for playing by
some of the unthinking. Many a time.
when a weak batting pitcher was in
sight, or when it appeared that it
would be advisable to make a shift in
some player because he happened not
to be very successful against a GER
tain pitcher as a batter, Strang walked
to the plate and raped the ball safe
ly. The second year that the Giants
won the championship, under the man
agement of McGraw, Strang was the
most dangerous pinch hitter" in either
league.
They have pinch man" in Pitts
burg by the name of Hyatt. He has
not made as good a record as Strang,
but it is said Of Hyatt that when he
meets the ball fairly he can rap it
further than any player in the National
league, and this includes Hans
Wagner.
He hasn't been put in very often,
comparatively speaking, this year, and
he hasn't made as many safe hits, in
proportion to- the number of chances
which have Been allotted to him, as
Strang made. He is a left-hander, hits
very freely and with a swing which is
long enough to bring into action the
muscles of his big shoulders.

PINCH HITTER IS RECENT
DEVELOPMENT OF BASEBALL
Place of Emergency Stick Man in Ma

Is Important Factor

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-One of the
recent developments of baseball has
been the pinch hitter" Almost all
of the teams in the National and
American leagues carry some player
these days who is supposed to be able
to take his place at bat in an emer-
gency and rap the ball out of the
reach of the fielders. therby restoring
his club to good standing and keeping
peace in the community.
To some extent John ], McGraw, of
the New York Nationals, is responsible
for this innovation. He was quick to

Some Uses of Hot Water.

Hot water is far more of medici-
nal property than many believe or
know. The uses of hot water are
many. There is nothing that so
promptly cuts short congestion of
the lungs, sore throat or rheuma-
tism as hot water 1when applied
promptly and thoroughly. Head
ache almost always yields to the
simultaneous application of hot waite
to the feet and back of the mock. A
strip of flannel or napkin folded
lengthwise and dipped in hot water,
wrung out and then applied round
the neck of child that has the
Group, will bring relief sometimes in
ten minutes. Hot water taken free
ly half an hour before bedtime is
helpful in the case of constipation,
while it has a most soothing effect
upon the stomach and bowels. A
goblet of hot water taken just after
rising, before breakfast, has cured
many of indigestion. and is widely
recommended by physicians to dys-
peptics.

who knows how to use a hammer
with judgment and precision.
Once accomplished, you will won-

occasionally with a cloth dipped in
kerosene to keep 1t polished. Hot
dishes car be placed upon it with
never a thought of their burning
