her stop suddenly and throw an arm

laughing and crying all at once, and
there were tears In the mans eyes,

of that fact was all that redeemed his

THE UMPIRE WAS A SPORT.
And He Showed the Kickers That Il
Was Not Too Dark to Fin
ish the Game

Speaking OF the doings OF the veter-
an umpires, an old timer claims that
Honest John Kelly Is entitled to the
record for freak doings among the In
dicator handlers. Back In the Ameri-
can association days, in a game played
on the old Union grounds In Alleghe-
ny, Calvin was pitching for Pittsburg
against Casey Of the Athletics. Kelly
was the umpire. In the ninth inning,
with the score 8 to in favor
or the Athletics, the first man up for
Pittsburg made home run hit to CEN
ter, and the visiting team at once set
up claim that 1t was too dark to play.
The center fielder came all the way
In and pretended that he could not see
the ball In the gathering darkness.
Here" said Kelly; give me a glove"
and with that he started for center
field. I'm see how dark It is out there"
he said You, Casey and Calvin, bat
me out few" Players and specta-
tors gasped, but Kelly made good his
blu6. He went out to deep center
and, with the smoke of the mills lying
low about him. actually caught ten or
fifteen long line drives and high flies
from the bats Of the two pitchers with
out missing one.
Then the umpire came IN and, taking
or his glove, said: "Play ball. If can
see 'em out there. you fellows can"
The game was resumed, and the Pitts
burgs won in a great batting rally by
@ to 5.-New York World.

AFTER THE COLLISION.
The Effect 1t Has on the Nerves
Leads to Some Very HUI
morous Acts.

A wreck sometimes upsets even the
most Iron nerved. Once the wreck
master on his arrival noticed a bare
headed man In overalls. covered with
coal dust and blood, sitting beside his
engine with tears running down his
face. He recognized him as the en-
gineer, who had been hauled out few
minutes before from under the mass
of twisted, battered steel that had
once been q locomotive. Singularly
enough. beyond a few cuts and bruises
be was unhurt. He was crying be-
cause he could not find bis cap that
he had bought new that day and beg
ged the wreck master to help him
hunt for It.
passenger conductor Of a train
that was derailed and had plunged
down an embankment crawled out Of
the confusion and rendered cool and
efficient help during the half hour be-
fore the wreck train arrived A little
later the wreck master CHANGED to
look around and saw the conductor
standing beside him holding a match
box to his ear and shaking It. Pres
emily he put 1t back In his pocket, but
took it out again In a moment and
repeated his action.
whats the matter with your?
asked the wreck master.
My watch has stopped. ] can't get
1t to going, and 1 don't know what
time 1t is" answered the conductor,
still listening to his matchbox.
The wreck master took the conduct
or by the shoulders and shook him
roughly. Then he came to."-Thad-
deus S. Dayton In Harper's Weekly.

A Water Teiescops.

Norwegian fishermen use a water
telescope to ascertain the position OF
the herring shoals. This is the way
to make the water telescope:
Procure a tube made OF tin and fun
mel shaped about three and a half feet
long and ten Inches In diameter at the
largest end. 1t should be wide enough
at the top to take In the observers
eyes. and the inside should be painted
black. At the bottom, or wide end, a
clear, thick piece OF glass must be in
serted. with a little lead in the form
OF a ring to weight the tube. When
the instrument is immersed in clear
water it Is astonishing how many
fathoms down the observer can see.

Commas.

The French do not, as a rule, employ
inverted commas to indicate a dialogue,
but they employ the dash to indicate
a change Of speakers, which is just as
bad. Certainly many punctuation marks
are sadly misused or overused. Dick
ems flung unnecessary commas all over
his pages-whole battalions OF them.
Walter Pater also employed them with
extraordinary prodigaiity, frequently
before the word land" where the con-
junction rendered them superfuous.
Pater was also overload OF the mark
of exclamation, SO that when he drops
a Eyes" into his measured style 1t must
needs appear as Yes" But, though
the Bible does without inverted COM
mas, there is real art In its punctua-
ton. How admirably it marks the ca
dence and helps the drama In that
great story of the prodigal sonl-Lon-
don Chronicle.

BLOUSE.
Maintains Its Popularity Despite
Winter Weather.
Trimmed With White Porcelain Beads
and Given the Peasant Line"
1t is Most Appropriate
For Afternoon Wear.

Showers of tiny white porcelain
beads, which look as If they had been
rough cast over the material and by
some mysterious agency caused to ad-
here to the background, are a feature
OF the trimming effects in the newest
blouses. That this tiny miniature
hailstorm is sewed bead by bead to the
material it adorns fills one with admi-
ration for the patience of the needle
woman.
These wee round porcelain beads are
particularly attractive in the pastel
pink coral shades massed ia solid form
or broad bands upon a white back
ground, and there are few more
charming evening corsages than a
black net one sewed with soft yellow
beads in flower and foliage design and
fringed to match part of the toilet in
which black and gold are blended
cleverly. Then, too, there are many
shades of blue beads used.
There have been seasons when the
separate blouse was on the whole
more elaborate, but never has there
been season when it has been more
effective.
The collarless blouse is still with us.
Though chic Parisiaus have taken up
the collarless models from the start
with enthusiasm there are always wo-
men even in Paris who refuse to adopt
unbecoming modes and in America
there are plenty of well dressed wo-
men who sadly but firmly pass by the
collarless models or else have them
modified by the addition of thin
guimpes rather than display an IN
beautiful throat in the pitiless light OF
day.
A walk through any shopping dis
trict on any bright afternoon will
make the casual observer wish that
more women were blessed with a
knowledge of their limitations When
the collarless blouse is becoming it is
charming. but few women past their

But the little fellow drew himself up

cheerful about it.-Harper's Magazine.

Old time physicians prescribed even
more unsavory remedies than rancid
butter, which was Emperor Menelik's
cure for malarial fever. In "Culpep-

are such prescriptions as ''oiI wherein
frogs have been sodden till all the

Of Culpeper's remedies are Of a more

WET AND DRY MOONS.
Old Superstition and Cold Facts From
the Astronomers.

Old Superstition and Cold Facts From
the Astronomers.
There is an old superstition which
dies hard, and that Is that the posi-
ton Of the horns OF the new moon
tells what the weather will be. If the
horns of the crescent are on the same
level 1t will hold water, and hence 1t
is dry moon. but If it is tipped up
then the water will run out, and 1t is
a wet moon.
One thing has helped keep this be-
lief alive. The moon is dry In the
part Of the spring that Is usually fair.
while It is wet" during the season of
autumn rains.
If this were a sure sign of the
weather we could have our predic-
tons published many years In ad-
vance, for an astronomer can predict
the exact position of the moon at any
time in the future.
The cause for the different positions
OF the crescent is simple. The moon is
south Of the sun in the autumn and
north Of It In spring. The crescent is
found by the light OF the sun falling
on the moon, and the horns are natu-
rally in a line perpendicular to the d.
rection Of the sun from the moon.
That Is all there Is to this old super
sttion.-Boston Herald.
