Baseball Too Attractive.

Baseball is interfering very seriously
with the progress of legislation in Con-
gress. On the Senate side exasperating
delays have been provoked by the desire
of members to go to the games. Senator
Elkins said he could have put through
several important provisions if it had not
been Tor the absence OF so many of his
colleagues.
As matter Of fact, Mr.. Elkins did not
exaggerate the situation although he was
speaking jocularly. Recently early ad-
journments were necessitated by the alb
sence of a quorum, and for the same
reason earlier sessions could not be
ordered Supporters of the Railroad Bill
had planned to get a vote on section Of
the bill, which relates to the subject of
traffic agreements. This section has been
debated at great length and the end Of
the struggle is not in sight.
On the 23rd Senator Elkins reported
that he had sufficient votes to defeat the
Cummins substitute for the Elkins- Craw-
ford provision, which the senators in
charge of the bill want adopted.
Then let's get vote, /" urged Senator
Aldrich.
1T wouldn't be safe to-day" said Mr..
ElklnS. 90 many senators are attend
ing the ball game"
That would affect both sides, wouldn't
it?' persisted Mr.. Aldrich.
81 don't know about that, replied Mr..
Elkins. 1T seems to be our fellows who
are away"
DO these baseball games keep on all
summer" asked Mr.. Adrich. in a
grieved tone. Plainly he did not know.
Vice-Presdent Sherman or Senator Crane
conld have answered, but both of them
were at the ball grounds SO news
paper man had to tell him:
twenty-five out Of the next 2o Ameri.
can League games will be played in
Washington"
"Humph-" Mr.. AIdrich condensed
a world of meaning in this comment.
Noses then were counted. Mr.. Elkin.
made no attempt to get a vote.

St Johns College Cadets on
Parade and Inspected.

The annual inspection of the Cadet
Battalion Of st. Johns College, by an
officer of the regular army, upon which
will depend the rating of the college with
the other military institutions of the coun-
try, took place on Monday, April 2sth.
The inspection was conducted by Cap
tain P. d. Lockbridge, of the Thirteenth
Infantry, who is at present assigned to
the general staff of the army. He. was
assigned to his work BY Lieutenant X.
Earle Fisher, formerly of the cavalry
branch Of the service, commandant of
cadets at st. Johns.
The battalion was seen at all phases of
infantry evolution, including also signal
ing, and a thorough inspection of grounds
and quarters was also made.
This years. inspection is Of particular
interest to Baltimoreans because Of the
fact that Cadet Harry Ruhl il the Cadet
Major, the highest ranking officer Of the
battalion. Last year the War Depart
ment rated St. Johns among the big
Six" Colleges. the graduates of which
! are designated for appointment 10 the
regular army without examination.

NEArNEss OF DRESS AT HOME.


The importance Of neat and tasteful
home dressing cannot be over estimated
The matron who appears before the
members of the family in shabby,
soiled wrapper, and makes the excuse,
if indeed she takes the trouble to make
one at all, that '1it is SO much more COM
Portable" has little idea of the possible
consequences of such a course. Could
she but realize that her dress is an evil
example to her daughters, and pro-
+ iductive OF consequences that will reach
beyond her own span Of life; that her
husband and sons cannot fail to draw
comparisons between her dress and that
of the ladies that they meet in other
homes, and that these comparisons can
not fail to decrease their respect for her,
she might be induced to give more at
tention to her personal appearance.
Not even the burden OF care and con-
stant employment can furnish sufficient
excuse for careless personal appearance,
for few things are more important to the
well being of a family. There is an old
saving to the effect that an untidy
mother has disobedient children, and,
while neither children or parents may
realize the why or wherefore of it, yet
there is always lack of respect and
Indifference to the authority of mother
who takes no pride in her personal APP
pcarance.
And it is not the mother alone upon
whose shoulders rests the burden of re-
sponsibility for home neatness and order
in dress; the father has his duties to look
after as well, and should never fail to
insist upon the younger members of the
family presenting themselves with we'll
kept hands, clean faces, neatly brushed
hair and orderly dress. at least at every
meal where the family assemblies.

A purpose is the prime condition of
success the eternal never changes con-
ditions. Nothing can take its place.
The high road to success. lies through
purpose, and one trouble with us is that
we lack purpose, and lacking that, lack
principle, lack back bone, lack grit.
Not having purpose in life. we have
no power to take strong hold of some
work and do it. No man is ever likely
to accomplish any more than he reso-
lutely sets himself to accomplish. The
tendency is to drift, to float down stream
with the current, and to let the stream of
life sweep us whittier it will. That is the
easier way doubtless, and the banks are
very beautiful and pleasant as we glide
between them; but our true jour
ney liesthe other way, the real
! treasure mines of life are in the hills near
| the sources of the river, and we must
; row, row hard against the current if we
would reach them. Let us row, moi
float through life, steer, not drift.

A MODEL WIFE.

A model wife is the woman who
looks after his household. and makes
her hospitality delight to him, and not
a burden; who has learned that a soft
answer will turn away wrath; who keeps
her sweetest smiles and most loving
words for her husband; who is his CON
tdante in sorrow or in iov, and who does
not feel the necessity of explaining her
private affairs TO the ncighborhood who
respects the rights of her husband and
children, and in return has due regard
paid to her wishes; who knows that the
strongest argument is her womanliness,
and so she cultivates it; who is sympa-
thetlc IN Joy or in grief, and who finds
work ior her hands to do; who is not
made bitter by trouble but who
strengthens and sweetens under it: who
tries to cancel the faults of her husband,
rather than blazon them forth to an unin.
terested public; the woman whose life
book has love written on every page;
who makes home for man, home in
a house and in heart, home that he is
sure OF, home that is full of love and
presided over by one whose price is
above rubies. She is the model wife.
A successful man: "A man who has
made happy home for his wife and
children. No matter what he has not
done in the way of achieving wealth and
honor; if he has done that he is a grand
success. Ifhe has not done that, and
1t is his own fault, though he be the
highest in the land, he is the most pit
able failure. | wonder how many men

EFFECT OF HEAT.
Why Standing Before a Hot Fire
Makes the Face Red.

Why Standing Before a Hot Fire
Makes the Face Red.
When one stands before a hot fire
the face becomes red, as we all know
This result is the effect of the action
Of radiated heat on the nerves con-
trolling the small blood vessels of the
skin. These tiny vessels are normally
in a state of moderate contraction.
Under exposure to heat they relax and
become distended with blood. The
same process, under the mysterious
connection of the vasomotor nerve
system with mental impressions, pro-
duces ordinary blushing.
In regard to exposure to direct heat
the Teddening Of the skin. together
with the uncomfortablly warm feel
ing accompanying 1t. may be looked
upon as one of the useful little dan
ger signals" with which we are sur
rounded. Persons who from any
cause have lost their susceptibility, as
is the case in some forms of paralysis,
may expose a limb to heat until seri-
Gus injury results.
The reason that the face chiefly
Pushes is that in the ordinary posi-
ton near a fire it is most directly ex-
posed to the rays Of heat, while most
Of the body is shielded by clothing;
that the nerves of the face are partic-
ularly sensitive in this respect and
that the skin there is more abundantly
furnished with blood vessels.-London

GIRLS FORM AN ANTI-GOssIp CLUB

MOTTO" says one of the charter mem
bers. It's simply awful the way girls
gossip. And, do you know, gossiping
is not restricted to girls, either. Some
married women do just as much talk
ing as girls do. So we have decided
to stop gossip of. all kinds, not only
among our own set but also among
others. We are going to clean up
Boone in this respect and make it a
city in which there are no gossips."
What Bit of Gossip Started Itg
The antigossip club was evolved at
a meeting of half a dozen young mem
bers OF the Presbyterian church. The
girls. all chums, accidentally met at
the house of one of them one after
noon. What was the subject of the
general conversation is not known. but
suddenly one of them said:
Say, girls. let's all agree to give
up gossiping during Lent"
The idea took like wildfire and soon
all six were telling each other what
they were not going to talk about
during the next 40 days. Gradually
the idea was developed and an anti
gossip club, not only for Lent but for
all time, resulted
The next step in the movement was
the expansion of membership to in
clude all the women in the town. or
at least all those who cared or could
be induced to become members.

CHEERFULNESS.

A Great Asset In Business as Well as
In Society.
Cheerfulness will attract more Gus
toners, sell more goods, do more bust
ness with less wear and tear than al
most any other quality, says Orison
SWEET Marden in Success Magazine
Optimism is the greatest business get
ter, biggest trader, the greatest achiev.
er in the world. Pessimism has never
done anything but tear down and de-
strOy what optimism has built up.
In the business Office, as in society
everywhere, the favorite is always the
cheerful person. Good natured, cheer
full people do not waste their vital en-
ergy as rapidly as the grumbIer or the
too sober, too sad people. They work
with much less friction.
Good cheer is a great lubricant It
oils all of life's machinery. There is
no other life habit which can give
such prolific return in happiness and
satisfaction as that Of being cheerful
under all circumstances. If the reso-
luton to cultivate cheerfulness is
strongly made at the very outset it
will not be difficult to form the cheer
full habit, and it will be the best pro-
lection against suffering and disap-
pointment.
Cheerfulness is also a great pro-
Queer. 1t adds wonderfully to ones
active ability and increases mental
and physical power. 1t makes hosts of
friends and helps US to be interesting
and agreeable.
