extraordinary

Another extraordinary trick of
otherwise decent people. is that of
heaping the plate with many kinds of
food and allowing them to become
mixed up in q melee that is painfully
suggestive of the crumb bucket.
Another is the habit of eating soup
from the end of the spoon rather than
the side I have seen a college pro-
fessor and his wife do that-and do
it audibly too.
Another is crumbing crackers and
croutons, and SO forth. into the soup,
instead of eating them separately.
Doubtless none of these is your par
ticuar offense.
But don't exonerate yourself too
quickly. You may be unconsciously
committing some other offense that
offends other people as much as these
offend you.
Better look out for it.
To quote the sufferer:
Everybody has his little eccentric
ity What's yourS?''

TRICKS OF BALL PLAYERS
ITO be continued.l

Everything is Fair so Long as It Helps
 Your Team to Win
 Mike Donlin, sometime heavy hitter on the Giants, while passing through New York the other day discoursed on the psychology of baseball.
 II recall three or four important games I've won all by myself" said Mike, "and in each case won them before the game had begun at all. How? Easy. Just stroll over toward the fence where the opposing pitcher is warming up before tho game starts. Have couple of play CTS with you to nip anything rough be- fore It gets a start. At the right moment ask the pitcher what the blank he means by going around and saying so and so about Matty and Bugs Raymond and a few others. The pitcher of course gets sore and swears he never said such 0 thing, which he didn't. Then you run over the names of all the rest of the New Yorks and quote them as your author ities. A moment later the pitcher steps into the box with his mind made up to sink the ball into the head of yourself and every man you've quoted. The result is he can't pitch at all.
 "And there is another thing that ought to encourage the bush league boys, and that is that even the best teams some- times need 8 poor player very much. It's this way: Pick out poor player and send him out to play for an inning. After few minutes the bush leaguer, following instructions. picks a quarrel with star man on the other side. Then the umpire throws them both out of the game and so you've weakened the other crowd to the extent of one star man."

corn. One of the best paying crops in the West is corn. The yield depends in large measureHupon the selection of seed. It requires technical knowledge to test seed and most farmers prefer to pay good price to the seller of seed corn rather than run the risk of plant ing their own seed corn. This man was able in five years to buy an eighty acre farm, and is rapidly getting rich.
 At Grafton, Neb., is a graduate of the agricultural college who has a three acre farm near town and a bank in the town. He raises pedigreed stock and makes as much out of his farm as he does out ofAhis bank.
 Eight years on his farm since ha graduated from college has enabled a Bellwood, Neb., man to acquire q half section of land and to own an interest in bank. He specialized in orcharding, and makes Sl00 an acre yearly off his forty nore apple orchard. Two other men, and using the special knowledge they secured at the schools have made successes of their ventures.
 Most of the boys who take the short course at the agricultural school are farmers sons who want to qualify as partners and successors os their fathers. Some of them get jobs as foremen else where, but many of them go back to teach their fathers the new tricks of the business. Invariably these partner ships add to the productivity of the farm. The courses taught are all practical, and each theory is proved by actual experiment. on selected plots of ground. -..

How Colds are Caught

We are now exactly ill the period of the year when the gentle art of catch ing cold is most easy to acquire. De- captive mildness leads to carelessness in the matter of clothing; then comes biting east wind with perhaps rain and wet feet One goes out of heated house or office and suddenly the tenn perature of the body is lowered. If there is the least weakening of vitality, the rest is simple. You. have that az gravating malady that destroys good nature and sometimes, indirectly, life .tself.
 "You really needn't have colds at all, says an authority on the subject "Take cold baths i'll the morning. Wear clothes that are not too warm, and that let the air circulate through them. Sleep in cold rooms, with the windows open. Keep your feet dry and warm. If you do all these things, you needn't fear draughts."
 Unfortunately we cannot always comply with those wise regulations. But we can excerise due care ill the matter of exposure, and that counts for much.-Boston Post.

BASEBALL IN 1872

Some interesting scores and names found in reports of the National game, as it was played many years ago.
 The Ashley Falls correspondent to THE NEWS gave the following account of game played in that village July 4. 1872: Last Thursday, the 4th, the Mill River Juniors, frolicsome troupe of 'trundle-bed trash" with bright red caps, came to Ashley Falls and played a game of baseball with the second nine of that village. These fellows managed somehow to make large figures, as their game was closely contested one; figur- ing up 75 runs for tho Ashley Falls chaps and "A for Mill River. With this troupe of infantry" it was said that from 75 to 100 boys, in size from an inch and a quarter to three feet high, tramped all the way from the village of paper mills to sec the game"
 The Lone Stars, of Salisbury, played the Red Stars of Falls Village, July IT, 1872, defeating them by score of 60 to A. K
 The ''Hayeaters" of Salisbury and the Faterdiggers" of Lakeville, "locked horns in deadly combat which resulted in score of 59 to E."

SKUNK SKINS UP 200 PER CENT.
Fur Trader Reports That There Is an
 Increasing Demand.

Fur Trader Reports That There Is an
 Increasing Demand. y.
 The despised American skunk has come into his own and is now eagerly sought where formerly he was summed, according 10 Isaac Weisberg, a fur trader of Moberly. Mo-, who buys the skins of skunks, raccoons, minks. opossums and muskrats and ships them over to Europe.
 "These skins have increased in value during the last two years zoo per cent. and more," said Mir, Weisberg. Every woman ot fashion in Paris and Berlin and the other Continental cities now wears one or more skunk skins on at least one of her dresses as trimming around the bottom, while many are used for trimming sealskin coats. This fashion started the demand. Two years ago the price of skunk skins suddenly jumped from so cents to S1, and is now averaging $3. As for muskrat skins. we used to buy all we wanted at 10 and l5 cents apiece. Now they are fetching $1 apiece. .l.
 "These skins are sold at auction in London. and furriers from all parts of Europe attend. The demand for furs of all kinds is increasing enormously. got good view of the reason at the races in Paris week ago last Sunday. saw one woman wearing Russian sable that could not have cost a cent less than $15,000 And I never saw SO much silver fox fur in my life. These furs come from Alaska and British Columbia, in spite of common inn precision that they come from Russia. and they bring fabulous prices. One skin was sold at a sale recently for $l ,275 and the finished furs bring from 5000 to S5, 900. The black fox is even higher We ship over there between $50, ,000 and $l00, ,000 worth of American animal skins every year, besides what we sell over here. As for the skunk, it is an American animal and it has to come from this side. Do we export the smell? We'll, that is a secrets of the trade.
