PRANK OF A BASEBALL.
Funny Stunt That Once Won q Game
For tho WashinQtons.

For tho Washin0tons.
Following Is an interesting story
told by Hugh s. Fullerton in the
American Magazine, in an article de
scribing freak plays that have won
baseball games:
ION the old Washington grounds,
when Washington was in the National
league, the players left the field by
passing under the stands, and the en-
trance to the passage was closed by
cellar door arrangement which
sloped down to the ground. The doors.
Of course. were kept closed during
games, but at the top, cut in the
planks of the stand. was q small
square hole to permit the players to
reach through and unlatch the doors
when they desired to leave the field.
During one game | saw ball,
which had been thrown wild to the
plate in an effort to cut Off the tying
run, roll up the doors and disappear
through that hole. The batter circled
the bases .and scored the winning run.
The Chicago club, under Anson. was
beaten and protested the game on the
ground that the opening existed in
violation Of the rules. In the investi.
cation Of the complaint an attempt
was made to force ball through the
hole. and. although 1t was pounded
with bat, the ball refused to pass
through the hole until the cover gave
way.
AFTER that almost every team that
came on the grounds tried to put balls
through the hole and failed. How
that thrown ball managed to twist it's
way through the aperture never has
been explained satisfactorily"

Those monsters of menace to naviga-

pieces broken from the glaciers of the
north, which the Arctic currents carry
southwark until they melt away In
the warmer waters Of the gulf stream.
The terrible procession begins in Feb
ruary, and not until the end Of August
is the ice season supposed to be over
in the north Atlantic.
Each year brings Its regular reports
of thrilling sights and collisions and
losses in the ice fields from the incom-
ing steamers during the spring and
summer months. Certain years stand
out as unusually bad ice years. but the
general story is much the same. Once,
during the month Of May, 143 icebergs
were sighted of Cape Race In single
day. .....s.. .....
One of the largest icebergs on record
lowered $50 feet above the surface Of
the sea. As hardly more than one
tenth of the berg is out OF water,
this would mean q mass of Ice 1000
feet zone and one third miles, from top
to bottom. Its volume was calculated
to be about $50. 100000 cubic feet and
it's weight some l6,OOO,OOO tons!
Icebergs need not be extraordinarily
high to be stupenduous. Lieutenant
Peary reported a berg l2,5OO feet long
lover two and one-half miles), 11,6OO
feet wide and 1873 feet high. 1t was
estimated to weigh l,292. .39S. 600 tons.

easily, fact that explains an attach
ment to them that is often without
rational or scriptural support.
The Thessalonian Christians were
excited touching the coming of the
Lord and were neglecting other ex-
ceedingly important things. In his
Enthusiastically loving way Paul
sharply calls their attention to the
walk which pleases God, their per-
sonal. sanctification with respect to
conjugal relations, to honest treat
ment of the brethren, and brotherly
love, all of which they were neglect
ing. Paul calls them to study to be
quiet and to attend to business. The
same principles apply in our day to
religious fanaticism, sometimes in
connection with the second coming of
the Lord to whom the appeal has come
to be quiet and to attend to business.
The principle appeals as well to the
lower spheres of life. The kaleido-
scope of scientific, business and po-
litical life is turning very rapidly and
we do not know at what moment
some social or political proposition
will be made that is shock to our
commonly received traditions. Parties
are disrupted, new parties are formed,
and the body polite becomes almost
a mob. In these days, therefore, not
only the religious person, but the citi-
zen as well, needs to study to be
quiet This is the more important as
the world is growing less so rapidly
through the agencies of steam and
electricity and phobias of all kinds are
cast before US.

Quietness an Aid to Efficiency.

QuletneSS an AIo TO Efficiency.
Agitation, or unrest, inteTteres with
efficiency, and efficiency is the key
word of the day in which we live. A
man of today does not ask for the
blusterer, he asks for the man that
can do his work, and with the least
buster. The nervous marksman rare
ly hits the bulIseye. You do not care
to go under the knife of surgeon who
does not have steady hand. Hysteria
explains much of the abuse of the Sec
ond-comfng of the Lord. Men, not
studying to be quiet, nor going about
their business, become lawless, and
ALLEVIATE many sincere believers in this
great scripturaI doctrine. 1t has been
illustrated over and over again, that
the man who is quiet is as rule the
powerful man. The quiet Grant seems
to be the only Union general to make
Appomattox possible, and in great
business interests Outlines the man
who sits and listens to the heated dis
cussions of his associates, and at the
end quietly speaks a few words, car
ries the day AS yet the strength of
man is often found in standing still.
The painter depicts on the face Of
restless people the unmistakable fact
of an inward unhappiness, and on the
quiet face clearly intimates an inward
Joy.
More and more are men studying
Jesus Christ to get proper ideals, and
here is a good place for such study.
We cannot conceive of Jesus Christ
becoming agitated.

The viii Must Act.

a mans intellect sometimes car
ries him far asea on its tossing bill
lows, and he puts his hand to the
rudder, which this text suggests. is
study A mans heart or emotions may
carry him far, and he again resorts
to study. But now his will must act.
The Thessalonian Christians were ex-
but they ought to be quiet and as far
as any faculty that they possessed
was concerned, they were compelled
to call upon it to act, and that faculty
was the will. To be quiet requires eff
fort just as in the time of sorest be-
reavement when we are disconsolate,
and some friend says: You must con-
troll yourself; you must make an eff
fort" Solomon tells us that the man
who rules his spirit is better than he
who takes a city. Storms will over
take us, but at all hazards we must
try to be quiet and await the issue.
If men will not meet this injunction as
it comes from religious teachers, they
may have to meet ii as it comes from
some awful disaster as that which re-
Gently overlook the great ocean steam

St. Pierre, at Messina, and in the
earthquake on the Pacific coast a few
years ago. At such times men stop
and say: Maybe there is a God, any
way. We are going to study these
things" How fortunate is the man
who has learned to trust God, and
when something meets him suddenly
with upsetting quickness and form, he
can calmly say: Give me quietness,
teach me thy will l believe all will
be WE'LL"
