PIaint of the UnoopuIar.

It is seldom guessed by an undis- corning public concerning men of prominence who are distant and re- served in manner or by equally un- comprehending acquaintances of seem lngly cold and unresponsive persons in private life that these men and women often yearn exceedingly for the appreciation and friendship of their fellow creatures and that with all their poise and show of indifference their inability to win popularity and to gain affection Is a source of secret bitter ness and regret. Yet that they do so long for appreciation is constantly be- ing betrayed in one way or another by individuals of the class, and it may be taken as 8 truth that there are no ex- septions to the rule, even among the most napproachable among them Also it may be said that in nine cases ont of ten the fault lies with them selves entirely, and is due either to a, peculiarity of temperament or a mis- guided course of conduct
 In every circle in private life are those who stand apart, feeling them selves una ppreciated and shut out and holding others to blame for their iso- latiOn: whereas if they were willing to break the crust of their reserve to show themselves companionable if they could foregt themselves and their dignity in the effort to be agreeable to others, they would soon gain the coveted esteem. To have friends one must be willing to go half way Indi- vldual affection and popular regard seldom come unsought.-Indiana polls Star.

CheerIess Homes.

The young man of today lis so often viewed with alarm and regarded d with solicitude that moral homilies about him have lost their force. Some body is always saving him in a new way until he grows rather tired of being saved.
 Here, however, is a bit of true gos- pei that will appeal to him-and fl may likewise appeal to his parents '"The homeless home" says a Cleve- land minister, "is the greatest danger to the young man of today. An un- symapthetic home has more peril in 1t than the saloon. the gambling den or the street. The home should be a home in the truest sense of the word, and not a mere place to eat and sleep
 The danger is negative, of course, but it drives the young man to posi- tive evils. He wants comfort and sympathy, and if he doesn't get them where he lives he will go elsewhere. The home is a place to live in. Com fortable chair and couches, f1replaces that are used and furnaces that work plenty of lights wherever lights are needed, warm rugs and walls taste fully tinted and hung with good pie lures. good lunches music and sun light and a general atmosphere of cheerfIlness, sympathy and tolerance i; these are the things that make a home real to the much discussed young man. What though he does muss things up and leave footprints on the floor and an odor of tobacco in the parior ? There are things moro desirable than perfect order and model housekeeping Cleveland Plain Dealer.

QUEER HID. BALL TRICK. Umpire Must Watch the Ball Every
 Minute.

A trick in baseball which is as old as the game itself has been brought into the limelight recently through a
 controversy over its merits The an-
 eieLt subterfuge known as the hidden baif Is referred to. It consists of con- ceaiing the ball in play by some in fielder until an unwary baserunner has walked off his isle of safety from force of habit, only to be confounded when bounced upon by the trickster and touched out. It is a trap usually sprung in an exciting moment when the players have a lot to think of simultaneously. Its chief merit lies in the fact that it tends to keep the players wide awake to every move ment of an adversary. It ought to, but does not always. have the effect of compelling managers to keep experi- enced and wary men in the coachers' boxes Inexperienced substitutes and mere nolsemakers or clowns too often are put there. It also tends to keep the wisest coaches alive to the loca- tion of the ball for even the wariest nave been caught asleep It puts a premium on the brains and quick thinking to which baseball owes so. much of it's popularity. The demerits or the trick are that, if attempted often, it delays the progress of game, particularly if Unsuccessful: gards it as stupidity on the part of the runner rather than brainy work by the fielder when successfully executed and that only small portion of the public sees it at all as a rule. Ere Quently when worked at it's best the trick deceives the umpires as well as the opposing players and that always entails delay and disputes. The rem edy is to have a staff of umpires who never fail to watch the ball at all times. No trick can be successful un- less the umpire sees it. Flies have been trapped" by shrewd outfielders to the great disadvantage of forgetfuI base runners and the trick has gone awry because the umpire, who ought to have seen the play was not expect ing it. But if the umpire never took his eye off the ball. the hidden bal1' trick would inevitably fail. By the mere fact of watching the infie1der, who had the ball concealed the um- pire would defeat the trick and warn the baserunner of his danger. So what's the oddsi

Removinq Stains.

Fruit stains should be laid in ja- velle water as soon as discovered and allowed to remain there till they fade Then, after rinsing, the linen should be dried, when it will be ready for the regular laundering.
 Strawberry and raspberry stains us ually respond quickly, but blackberry stains will, as a rule, be more obstinate and require two baths in javelle water before they disappear. As soon as the solution looks black it should be re- placed with clean.
 Grass stains on 7lifien or ordinary white dresses may be rubbed thorough Iyr with npo1a sses and then put through the laundry process:
 Syrup and sugar stains win respond to washing in clear, warm water first Ono soap). rubbing afterward with d clean rag dipped into a solution Of water and alcohol in equal parts.
 Ice cream stain is most difficult to remove, because it is a combination of grease and sugar. The only remedy is to sponge with chioroform, placing a pad Of cotton or a thickness of blot ting paper beneath the stain.

Consular Reform.

An analsis of the operation of Pres ident's Roosevelt's order of 1906 pro- vtdfng for promotion in the consular service and substituting examination for political pull as a requisite for ap- pointment is highly gratifying. Of the 64 consuls general now serving 22 have been promoted under this order and three appointed after examination, the others having been in the service be- fore the order. Of 229 consuls, 166 were serving before the order, seven have been promoted and 50 appointed after examination.
 The assumption is. therefore. Justi- fled that the membership of the ser vice today Is better qualified by length of service or by proved fitness upon examination than there was any hope that 1t ever was under the old spells system of appointment. Under the administration of Secretary Knox ab- solute fitness will continue to be the test, as he has upon more than one occasion made plain. Ire consuls are the business agents of the government

q DON'T REMEMsER" WITNESSES
 IN THE MITCHELL DEFENCE.
Mitchell Seemed III at Eass-sephis an
 Attentive Listener.

New Haven, Conn, March 16.-The Mitchell defense in the trial of Sophie Kritchman and the accused man for the killing of Bronislow Kulvinslas, which started late yesterday afternoon, got under full headway at today's ses- sions and witness after witness fol- lowed each other in more or less rapid succession. About the only noteworthy feature of the day was the frequent and severe attacks of 'I don't remem- ber'' sufferers by the witnesses and brought on by the cross examinations of the state attorneys and MT. kenne- dy of the Kritchman counsel. The ex- animation of the witnesses, all put on the stand for the purpose of establish
 ing an alibi for Mitchell, by. counsel
 for Mitchell was brief, the questions
 being confined to their acquaintance
 with Mitchell and his whereabouts on
 Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the
 16th, 17th and 18th of September, the
 last two being the days on which the
 throat took place. The witnesses, aE-
 most without exception, were able to
 remember exactly what took place on the three days in question and when
 and where almost to a minute the
 places they saw Mitchell, but on cross
 examination it was difficult for them
 to recall when or where they had ever seen Mitchell before and took refuge with an 4I don't remember" answer
 Sophie, who was the recipient dur ing the day of two large punches of violets, paid close attention to the tes- timony as it was given, especially when the services of an interpreter were re- quired. She frequently made sugges- tions to her counsel and took a keen interest in the proceedings. Mitchell, who is suffering from g. slight cold which has settled in his left eye, also seemed much more. Alive as to what was going on around him than he has in the preceding days of the trial, but seemed nervous and i'll at ease. He paid close attention to the testimony of the witnesses and when they hesi- tated for a moment before answering questions put to them would lean for ward in his chair and watch intently until a reply was made
 The number of people in the court room grew less and less as the day wore on and at the close of the after noon session the number was not near ly as great as on the past few days
 William Myers. driver of a beer de- livery wagon, was on the stand when was taken.
