To quicken the hearts of men.
But don't you turn from your figures

For this is the 1st of May, father,

Base Ball Slang.
rom the Augusta Herald.

From tue AuuGst1 derdiu
The consensus of opinion seems to be
that a base ball story in unimpeachable
English would be odd enough to be in
teresting, but that as a steady diet 1t
would soon pail upon the fans" who
have become accustomed to that slang
which is so distinctively a part Of the
atmosphere of the game. 1t conveys
more to their minds to say that the
man at the plate slapped the pellet for
four bags than gravely to announce
that the batter knocked a ball which
enabled him to score q home run. The
''bunt" and the bush Lacquer" have be-
come intimately interviewer with the
speech OF today. The 'nicknames" Of
the teams have practically superseded
the names Of the towns whose tags
the descriptive story. This so-called
slang, when it is spontaneous, makes
for brevity. 1t presents q picture in q
word.

Pure Air in Auditoriums.

From the Columbus Ohio State Journal.
An exchange calls attention to the
fact that while sermons were being
preached on tuberculosis in its BALL
wick the churches themselves were
filled with impure air and other phases
of the white plague. There Is a trou-
BILE that the tuberculosis people will
have to fight-crowded, ill-aired halls
and churches. The trouble is that the
means for ventilation are not provided.
Opening q window or q door in most
cases Is Objectionable. That creates q
draft and starts a cold. which brings
discomfort IL not disaster. 1t would
be Interesting to see the statistics. to
know which was the more fatal
drafts or tuberculosis. There are few
places for general assemblage that are
hygienically ventilated.

Burelars' Tools on Public View.

1t is dificult to understand what good
purpose can possibly be served by the ex-
hibition in the Post Once Department
museum Of the tools used by Eddie Fay
and his colleagues in crime in the rob-
berry Of the Richmond post Office few
weeks ago. These souvenirs Of crimi-
nal exploit are attracting interested at
tention from hundreds Of visitors daily.
and are doubtless advertising widely the
ingenuity of the modern cracksman In
providing implements for the prosecution
of his illegal business. 1t Is impossible
to know how many Of those who daily
study this display are doing so from a
technical poiot Of view, possibly gaining
information Of advantage to be applied
to future ventures in the same field. Nor
is it possible to know how many youth

crime suggestion inevitably conveyed by
such an array of up-to-day burglarins
instruments. 1t would seem as though
the United States were placing tempta-

which it was recently made the victim
Of thieves.
1t would be possibly harmless to show

useful purpose in suggesting the means
that have been adopted for the violation
of strong boxes. In order that counter.
methods may be devised to thwart the

CURE FOR LOSS OF MEMORY.
Case of an American Woman Mar
 ried Abroad and an Accent.

Case of an American Woman Mar
 ried Abroad and an Accent.
 Nothing disgusts me more," said woman who goes abroad every sum- mer, to a writer in the New York Sun remarks, than to meet in Flu rope Americans who seem to be ashamed of their own language. I have often come across them, but a woman l met in Carlsbad last year took the palm.
 She was introduced to me as the Countess Komoffsky, or some name that sounded like that. She married Russian or Pole about three years before, and so far as can gather she had hardly been any nearer than New York table d'hote before that time. She looked American, but her English was all broken into bits. She did not even say 'the,' but pronounced it 'ze.' She had great difficulty in rec ollecting phrases, and the result at times was lot of French.
 Next morning I was breakfasting in the Kaiserpark with a party of shawl wrapped Americans who had
 
 from the Sprudel or the Marktbrunnen and had walked out according to pre- scription. One of those at the table was a New York physician who is none the less popular because he is frank in speech almost to brutality and will not stand for affectation The countess came along and was invited to join the party. The doctor, it turned out, had known her since she was a child.
 Somebody asked her a question, and she started to reply with that accent of hers. saw the doctor fidget. Then she made another remark in half French. The doctor said some thing that sounded like Damn!' Then he blurted out:
 For Gods sake, Maria Smith, you don't mean to say that three years in Europe have made you forget your native tongue?'
 There was a hush, and then some of the women in the party smiled; but when the countess next spoke it was in the purest United States"

The Reason Why.

A wilfully literal answer is some times the most impudent kind of a retort. Of such nature was the reply made by General Early and quoted be- low from "The Confederate Scrap Book" a collection of cuttings gath cred by Mrs. Lizzie Cary Daniels, and published after the Civil War.
 During the march of General Lees army through northern Virginia to Maryland, General Jackson happened to notice a number of stragglers in Gen eral Early's division, and that night he sent him a note.
 General. General Jackson desires to know why he saw so many of your stragglers in the rear of your divi- slon to-day.
 "(Signed) A. S. Pendleton."
 Old Jubal replied:
 Captain. In answer to your note I would state that I think it possible that the reason General Jackson saw so many of my stragglers on the march to-day is that he rode in the rear of my division. J. A. Early"
 "Stonewall' Jackson only smiled when he read the note, and made no further inquiries.

An Astonished Pasha and n Lieu.
 tenant Who Won Promotion.
 Kassim Pasha when minister of war for Egypt was very particular in re- gard to the personal appearance of his officers and issued stringent orders that they should never appear un- shaven in public. One day he met upon the street a lieutenant who had bearded the pasha and disregarded his orders. "To what regiment do you belong?" demanded the indignant minister. "To the regiment, at Abasseuh," replied the frightened lieutenant. Get into my carriage at once so that I can carry you to the encampment and have you publicly pupished,' was the stern command which followed.
 Tbe young man obeyed, and the twain rode along gloomily enough for some time, when the pasha stopped his carriage and entered an office where he would be detained for some time on business. Seizing the oppor- tunity, the culprit sprang from the vehicle, darted into a neighboring barber's stall and regained his post before the return of his jailer minus his beard. For the remainder of the route the officer buried his face in his hands and seemed the picture of ap- prehension.
 Abasseuh was reached at last, and all the officers were assembled to wit ness the degradation of their con- rade, who all the while kept well in the rear of his chief. Come forward, you son of a dogi" cried the irate pasha, when there stepped before him an officer with a face as clean as baby's and look of the most supreme innocence. His excellency gave one look of blank astonishment and then, with an appreciative smile breaking over his war worn features. turned to the assembled officers and said, Here, gentlemen, your old minister is fool, and your young lieutenant is a cap- tain"
