Columbus Gets Two Players.

Philadelphia, July 23.--George Per-
ring and Heinic Berger. of the Maps,
were released to Columbus today.
Berger came to the Maps from CO.
lumbus in 1907 for S6,5O0 and was
highly touted. He pitched some good
ball In Cleveland but didn't have the
success he did In the American as
scciation. This year he has been
given little chance since the opening
of the season. Perring has been with
the Maps since 1908. being purchased
from Omaha and farmed to Toledo in
1907. Perring has been hitting well
lately because he changed and batted
left handed. IL am the happiest man
In baseball today because ! would

and Perring will say goodbye to their
teammates tonight. The Maps will
get their pick of any players Colum-
bus may develop this year in return
for Berger and Perring.

The Bald EaaIe's Nest.

Among birds the home of the bald
eagle is perhaps the most striking, pos
sibly because Of the majesty Of the
bird itself. 1t appeals to the imagina-
ton. Built Of huge sticks loosely in
terwoven and situated on some lofty
and inaccessible ledge, with the bones
of the eagles victims scattered round
about 1t, it gives proper setting to
the stern and savage character Of its
builder Here the eagle reigns su-
preme, and here year after year he and
his mate rear their young. This is
the aerie from which he can scan the
whole countryside and, like the robber
barons of old, levy toll on all who pass
his door.

Figures Of Speech.

A well known ventriloquist who had
consented to give performance In aid
of charity heard that certain members
of his prospective audience were de-
termined to watch the movements of
his mouth with the closest scrutiny
with view of confounding him. The
night came. the attendants carried in
three dummies on chairs, and the artist
made his appearance. His perform
ance was unusually successful. the
muscles Of his face giving no evidence
Of his art. The changes of voice were
marvellous, and the astonished crowd
at the close of the exhibition guve him
rousing cheer. Again and again
they called him back. and he express
ed his pleasure by innumerable bows.
At last the cheering ceased. and he
was permitted TO retire. Scarcely had
he done so when the three "lay" fig
ures got up from their chairs and walk
ed off the stage. The ventrlloquist had
employed three friends TO impersonate
his usual mechanical figures.

Tho "Bull.n

The origin of the word bull" as the
definition Of confused utterauce is
doubtful. Some philologlsts say 1t
comes from the French boule-"fraud"
and others that II is derived from
the Icelandic bull-"nonsense." Many
definitions have been attempted. but
the best probably is that of Sydney
Smith. Writing Of the difference be-
tween wit and bulls" he says: 'Wit
discovers real relations that are appar-
ent; bulls admit. apparent relations
that are not real. The stronger the
apparent connection and the more com
plete the real dlsconnection of the
Ideas the greater the surprise and the
better the bull"

MAN, STUDY YOUR HAIR!
Thsn Before You Comb Il Study the
Architecture OF Your Face.


Architecture Of Your Face.
just as surely as hair Is woman's
crowning glory It is mans glorious
crowning-that is, to those that have
1t. Those whose heads have pushed
up through their hair usually use
buckaback towel for the delicate proc
ess Of parting the hair. but unless one
has the peculiar requirements it is not
worth while to cultivate them.
Men with low, squatting forehcads
should not pull their hair down over
their brows. and men whose foreheads
are beginning to work back should in
vite their locks down. IL your hair has
quietly slipped down toward your ears
on each side, leave It there IL you
bring 1t up in strings and wisps 1t will
merely look like climbing vines and
will never really have the free and
easy homelike appearance that ought
70 be the part of all natural hair.
Do not part your hair any earlier
than you can help. Hair is In hurry
these days, anyway. Usually 1t doesn't
stay more than long enough to make
sure that the baby is going to be boy
before 1t hastens Off. 1t will part OF
itself soon enough the best you can do.
Before combing your hair you should
get acquainted with the architecture
of your face. IL your face is of the
harvest moon variety do not inlay
your hair. Puff it up as much as pos
sible. It's better to look like feather
duster on a Monday morning than
scratched billiard ball on a Saturday
night.
But IL your face is Of long. gallop-
Ing ensemble do not encourage your
hair to fluff. Instead keep 1t down
close to headquarters. II your head
inclines to run up to cone do not
spread your hair around in imitation
of a palm tree thatch. Rather fluff It
up and windrow 1t for fear some un-
bred person will begin to talk about
spring radish tops.-Homer Croy in
Delineator
