Fourth.-The democratic background
The interest of watching the experts is
inseparable from the fact that almost
every boy in the United States is
brought up to play the game itself
One sometimes hears it said that
watching the game is less desirable
than playing it, which is creating an
absurd dilemma, as the clerk in a great
town, who may be able to spend two
hours Of healthy interest in the base
ball park, could not possibly be indulg-
ing in the game himself and also be-
cause watching the game makes one
all the more eager to play it If he has
the chance, Just as playing it makes
him all the more eager to see how it is
played by the greatest experts in the
world--Horman Hapgood in Metropoli-
tan.

First Practical Test Of DaVy's Safety
Lamp Was Dramatic.
II you have ever looked at pictures
of coal miners you must have noticed
that they are sometimes represented
with peculiar little lamps stuck in their
caps. These are known as the Davy
safety lamp. The fame is entirely
surrounded with very fine gauze wire,
which permits enough air 10 enter TO
keep the lamp ahght, but is too fine
for any fame TO pass through it The
dangerous gases in the coal mine can
enter the lamp and burn, but the fame
cannot get out.
Before this invention the miners Of
ten worked in absolute darkness. as it
would have been madness TO carry 4
light into any coal mine, where what
is called fire damp is common
The safety lamp was invented by
Sir Hnmphry Davy. a famous Eng
nsh scientist, but the wonderful thing
about the story OF its invention is
that N enc could he found WHO would

An Aristocratic Bank.

All the clerks at Coutts' bank in Lon.
don, where the king and members of
the royal family have accounts, must
be clean shaver and wear frock coats
during banking hours. No bank in the
world has so many aristocratic Gus
toners as Coutts'. Practically every
member Of the house of lords banks at
the famous house in the Strand, and
no other English bank has so many
foreign aristOcrats on its books.

dare to carry it into a coal mine to
test 1t.
On Jan. o. 1916, John Hodgson, a
minister who lived near Newcastle, in
the north Of England, which is a great
coal mining region, volunteered to go
down into the Hebburn coal pit with
a lighted Davy lamp in his hand so as
to settle for all time whether it was
really a safety lamp or no.
The first miner who saw him ap-
proach was nearly beside himself with
terror and screamed and prayed for
whoever it was to put out the light
before it was too late. But the min
lister walked steadily on, confident in
the truth Of the scientific fact upon
which the lamp was built, until he got
close enough for the miner to recog-
nize him.
Every miner in the pit knew the par
son, and their confidence in him and
what he told them was greater than
their faith in the lamp, much as they
desired It. But for the bravery of this
Newcastle preacher It might have been
long time before the lamp came into
use, if at alL-Exchange.

POPULARITY OF BASEBALL.
Qualities In the Game That Endear Il

There must be special qualities IN a

them:
First.-Eficiency. No otner spec

the inferiority OF the circus the astute

Second.-Visibility. A person who
understands the game sees almost ev-

cry by the pitcher, the preparation and
swing Of the batter, the bail dashing
away. the rush, grasp and recovery Of
the infelder. the race OF the runner

umpire whether the bail arrived a

Third.-SustaiEed suspense. An Eng

What, Then, Is the
Liquor Disease?

1t is an altered condition of the
nerve cells, caused by the excessive
use of alcohol, wherein the nerves
have become trained to feed on it, and
will not do their work except under
its influence.
Thu" craving" or appetite for liquor
is not the disease. 1t is merely the
symptom of the disease just as cough
is symptom of some irritation or
inflammation.
When the disease is removed the
craving for drink disappears just as the
cough disappears when the cause of
the trouble is removed.

point which made it possible for Denmark to
lead the world in the dairy industry.
Much as 1 should have been inclined to
accept some Of the numerous invitations
that would have kept me in the city, I
determined that on the following day I
would cut everything possible and get
right out into the heart of the country,
where I could meet the farmers, study their
methods and observe the results. I wanted to
see, also, some of the high schools, agricul-
al schools and common public schools. All
this, however, the committee, headed by Mr..
Cavling, had carefully thought out and plan
ned for in advance.
The only thing that disturbed me and led
me to hesitate in carrying out this decision
was the command for me to appear at the
Kings palace the next day at ten o'clock. No
one seemed to know just what further COM
mands the King might have in store, but
everyone was certain, at the same time, that
it would be all unforgivable thing for any
body to fail to accept an invitation from
the King.
So it was decided that, Monday morning
everything else must wait until l had been
to the palace to see the King, On the previ-
Gus day [ had been carefully instructed BY
Minister Egan as to the exact time to appear
at the palace and as to the kind Of dress that
I was to wear. Fifteen minutes before the
hour of my reception, the American Minis
ter's carriage drove to my hotel, and 1 was
conveyed in quite a ceremonious manner to
the entrance to the Kings residence. Be-
fore reaching the entrance of the palace we
encountered q rather formidable array Of SOL
diers and bayonets. Reaching there, however,
thanks to the good Offices of Minister Egan,
there seemed to be plain sailing.
