Around your Calvert corner still

At glimpsing through the vista sweet

Below You where the harbor lies.
And ships sail in from tropic skies.
And drays roll by, and in your door

BASEBALL ETHICS.
When the Pitcher Has the Right to
"Bean" the Batter.


In "The Right and Wrong of. Base
ball" in the American Magazine, Hugh
S. Fullerton gives an interesting aC-
count of what is considered sportsman
shin and what cheating ia the national
game He writes:
'-The best batters are those who
crowd the plate'-that is, who stand
rs near the plate as the rules or the
umpire will permit and lean over the
corner of the rubber to make it diff
cult for the pitcher to pitch across that
corner without taking a chance Of hit
ding the batter.
1.-The players recognize the fact that
the lines Of the batter's position are
e6iiterated within a few minutes after
a game starts and that the umpireS
practically are helpless to enforce the
rules or to tell while watching the
course Of a pitched ball whether or not
the batter steps ever the line. So it
has become part of the unwritten law
of the game that the pitcher may bean
(that is, pitch at the bean or head
any batter who crowds in order to
drive him back from the plate. 1t is
ethical under the players code to hit
and to injure any player who persists
IA encroaching upon the forbidden
ground, and the batters themselves
recognize this danger and accept it as
part of the game"

Columbus and the Magnetic Needle.

For a long time it was popularly
supposed that Christopher Columbus
was the first to note the declination of
the magnetic needle. In 1906, howey-
er, there were discovered three sun
dials dating from a, time anterior to
Columbus first voyage and bearing on
the compasses accompanying them
lines indicating the declination of the
needle. One of these found at Inns
bruck, was made at Nuremberg in the
year 1451. Not only has it an engrav.
ed line indicating the declination at the
time of its construction, but shows
other lines indicating the changes OF
direction undergone by the needle in
subsequent years. Who first noted the
declination of the needle would appear
to be still an unsettled question.

turns. according to Chicago lawyer
recently back from abroad.
One case the traveller related with

and the University of Berlin. stu
dent had ordered an evening suit from
a tailor. He already owed him money
for former orders, but promised faith
fully to pay what was coming to the
tailor, as his father had promised to
send him a sum Of money. The stu
dent was to pass an examination for a
government position and the suitNwas
to be ready the same morning and ne
was to call for it and pay the bill. he
called as agreed and told the tailon he
did not have time to cash the draft his
father had sent him. but would cali
after the examination. =,
The tailor insisted on having his
money and, not being paid. he refused
to let the student use the suit he had
ordered for the examination. The, re-
suit was that the latter missed the ,ex-
animation. 1t was ascertained later
that the students father had sent him
money and that he had spent the cash
for a dinner given to some friends.
Suit was brought by the father
against the tailor as being the cause
Of his sons failing to pass the exam

ration also sued the tailor for disre-
