Indian Girls as Servants

From the Baltimore American.
 "The best domestic servants that we can get in our isolated region are Indian girls" said MT George A. Hurley of Flagstaff Ariz. These girls, fairly. skill ful and moderately industrious, could scarcely be rated ideal, but on the whole they gre satisfactory, and in the absence of other help we are extremely glad to get them. Their efficiency is the result of training in the Indian schools of the res- ervations, and when one stops to consider their native environment and semi savage rearing it is rather extraordinary that they should be as clever and valuable as they are.
 By temperament these Indian girls are inclined to reticence. They do what is asked of them uncomplainingly, but they rarely smile and never joke and are not demonstrative in any way with one ex- ception. This is when the woman in Uncle Sans employ, who was their school superintendent or teacher, comes around to make her periodical visits in order to see how the girls who are at service are getting on. Whenever this visitor arrives the particular Indian maid who greets her gives her welcome that for an Indian Is exceedingly cordial and effusive. The girls, indeed. seem to cherish a real sen tirnent of deep gratitude for the one who first taught them the elements of English education and gave them the first lessons in domestic science"

From the Engineering Magazine.
 The greatest curse to the laborers of Mexico is not bad politics, but the nat ural alcoholic drinks, tequila and mes cal. These drinks are concocted from the juice derived from the maguey plant As long ago as, 1S4S a dis tinguished scientist after a careful analysis of tequila, and the dtermina- ton of harmful oil in the beverag along with an unusually high perce age of alcohol. stated that the which persisted in using this dri E would in time disappear. Historians have suggested that the mysterious and complete annihilation of the Toltecs about the year 1000 A. D. was probably due to their excessive use of such Q liquor.
 This drink has spread over Mexico only in the last 50 years The plant was first extensively grown near the town of Tequi1a, in the state of Jalisco. To- day the traveller can travel through thousands of acres given up entirely to the cultivation of this plant. The great est good that anyone could do in Mexico, far greater than the extension of educa- tion, would be the suppression of the traffic in tequila and mescal. But tho trade is in the hands of such strong vested interests" and the profits are so enormous, that it is highly improbable that the peon will be saved from him self and he will go on drinking tequila, getting intoxicated on Sundays and fies- tas, crying Viva Liberdad.' one wishes for the South African law in Mexico, which absolutely forbids the sale of Intoxicating liquors to the kaffirs. If tequlla was kept from the peons, their efficiency would be greatly increased

By REUBEN LEWIS

The Barons and the Billikens, as all well behaved aggregations should do, split the pie yesterday afternoon, and each with an equal portion left the held with smiles of satisfaction.
 The first game was a good, game; the second was awful. And this is not true only because the first was won by the Barons. Far from it. There are some sporting scribes. grown blase, perhaps, who can really enjoy scrimmage in which the other fellow leaves us nothing save honor. and darn little of that,
 The opening engagement soon deVef oped into pitchers battle, and as pitchers battle continued to the last. It was finally concluded with the score standing to in favor of the local vets. The second game was opened by Smith for Birmingham, who was relieved in the fifth inning by Dolores Chaput. It was a case of leaving the devil for the deep blue sea, for whereas Smith was not good, Dolores Chaput was bad, indeed So it happened that while the Billikens were swattng the cover off the poor old baseball, the Barons were feeding, more or less helplessly, before that remnant of a good delivery which Lelivelt managed to fake across the plate.
 Boyd and Herbert were the opposing pitchers in the first game. Birmingham touched the ex-Texan but twice, and Boyd held the Bilikens to three scattered hits. As ever, it was that old control which told the story, and unlike Satur- day, the Barons yesterday had all the control on their side of the fence. In the first inning, three walks and pasted batsman forced Berghammer over the platter, and in the fourth with one down. singles by Ellam and Carroll, followed by an infeld out sent the former over with the second run. Boyd was in one or more tight places, but with his spit ter" doing remarkable execution, he man aged dexteriously out of each to wrisgle.
 A poor game was the second. Lelivelt, the victorious pitcher, had very little. The Barons bit him seven times, walked five times, and scored four runs. Had they worked behind a pitcher they would have won. Young Smith opened for the Barons In the first inning as result of Berghammers failure to cover second when Stengel was stealing, the visitors scored. In the fifth the pitcher grew mo- ticeably weak, and in addition to yielding several swats, walked enough men to force a runner over the counter. With the bases filled, Chaput relieved Smith, and ''hail" broke loose in Georgia. From that moment until the conclusion of the fray, hits flew over the field like bull bats in summer. As a result, an awful Slaughter ensued
 In the second game. Stengel faced Baron pitchers five times and got away with four singles and walk This was perhaps the feature of the day.

ANNISTON READY

Anniston, April -(Special) )--In ad- dition to the proclamation issued by the mayor declaring a partial holiday for the opening of the Anniston base ball season in the Southeastern league here Monday the Anniston Chamber of Commerce has given out a card urging a big attendance at the opening game, which, 1t is said, means much for the city.
 The fans of Anniston and the peo- ple generally are on the qui vive. tt is hoped to have al least 2000 pres ent a the opening game, and arrange ments have been made to accommodate more than that number. The vehicle gate has been moved and the negro hleachers placed in another section Of the field so that the park will present 10 new appearance to several of those attending Monday.
 The park itself is now in very good shape. For some time after it was nlowed up the water lay in pools in the outfield. This has now been remedied however. and the local field will be enc of the best In the circuit.

Socialism in lIanan

From the London Telegraph.
 Although statistics were once depre- eated as being "only another method of telling lies" they appear to have served the purpose of effectually dis persing at least one of the arguments on which certain publicists in Japan base the ascertain that the country is rapidly becoming socialistic. This argu- ment was that a tendency existed for considerable tracts of land to pass out of the possession of small farmers into the hands of large agriculturlsts with the inevitable result that many peopl were exchanging position of independ ence for one of labor at daily wag The contention was accepted with ger eral complaisance, untn recently nd tive journal came out with statistie showing that if any change has take nlace if has been in a direction the eS act reverse of that alleged, for the nun her of those who farm their own Ia nn has increased In the last 10 years. "Cr inc whole the figures go to show veYx |conclusively," says the Japan Week.
 Mail that while there has been an iHs crease of the manufacturing population inc rural population has suffered littla if at all. and consequently the predis tions about the approach of socialis are not borne out by actual statistics

Manager Hickman of the Bessener Southeastern league club announced last night that he had internationally released pitcher Lefty Fruit, and that 1t is probable that First Baseman Hoffman would be sold. He has decided to play Andy Ramage on the initial sack in the opening game.
 Pruitt seemed to have everything except control His physique for a pitcher was splendid, as he lowered over feet an1 weighed nearly 190 pounds. Pruitt hurt his arm and has not been able to put the ball over the plate. He has been tried out by the Philadelphia Nationals and the Steubenville club. It is not known wat he will do, but he may secure tryout with another Southeastern club. There IS but one left handed pitcher on the roster, he being Big Six Sheppard.
