ADVOCATES FLIRTING.

Prof. George Herbert Palmer of Harvard, 67 years old, has come forward with the statement that a little flirting, properly conducted, is not only advisable, but even impera- tive for the average college boy and girl. Flirting is the surest road toward the proper knowledge of so- cial life," says the professor. q be- lieve the girls of Radcliffe and the boys of Harvard devote too much of their time to study. They actually bury themselves in their books, and the result is that that when they get through college they don't know a thing about social life. They should mingle little frivolity with their studies-in other words, they should f1irt a little."

MOLOKAN SECT TO STAY HERE.
They Seek Tract of Land in Which to Settle.

Investigation of the members of the Molokan sect of Caucasia, Rus sia, now settled in southern Califor- mia, discloses the fact that the St. Petersburg reports to the effect that they were dissatisfied with their life in the United States and had deter mined to return to Russia were not we'll founded.
 Members of this sect living here have no thought of going back to their native country. Some have been compelled to return because they could not securepassports from Russia for their families, but nearly all of the original number are still here.
 Failing repeatedly to establish colonies in the southwest, between 2,00O and 5000 now live in this city, few in San Francisco and about 100 families in Lower Cali fornia.
 They are frugal, sober, industri- ous and religious. The men work at all kinds of hand labor and the women in the canneries and facto- ries. The sect is still endeavoring to find a tract of 15,0OO or 10000 acres of land in California where they might locate the entire num- Der of their followers in Russia San Francisco Bulletin.

The latest baseball man to aspire to
the honors OF writing is Charles Dooin
and he is making good He knows the
game of baseball as do few catchers
and what is more he can write about
IL In an interesting way.
1t used to be enough for the catcher
to stand back of the plate, handle the
pitchers curves, throw to bases and
get his share of the hits, says the
Philadelphia catcher But the modern,
scientific game as added TO the duties
OF the man behind the bat. Now he
is the general. He Is the only man
who has the entire play before him at
all times. Every one of mis- teammates
is facing him. He must give the Sig
nails; the tactics OF the game are up
to him.
1t used to be that, above all things,
he needed courage Now mental alert
ness has been added. Not that the
need for nerve has passed. 1t takes a
lot of Indifference to pain and peril
to stand back there and meet the
cannonadiEg.
Not always can the ball be made to
land ON the glove. Once In a while
there Is wild pitch or the signals get
crossed.
The the catcher has to stick out his
bare hand to save the enemy from get
ting one or two extra bases The
man who won't do this, not matter
how much it hurts, has no business in
baseball. Ping-pong would be about
his speed
Whenever a catcher SHOWS any
sipn of fear the other team is sure to
get him. Therefore, advise amateurs
that unless they have all kinds Of
pluck and indifference to danger they
try something else besides catching.
Never duck away from the plate
when you see a base runner dashing

Many ball is missed by only a foot
or two; therefore, study getting a
quick start in the right direction. A

most by instinct the direction In which
the ball is going.
Catch the ball as high as possible,
and then snould 1t rebound from your
