Strategy Of Base Ball.
From st. Nicholas.

rom 81. NHuOtaS
There are things in bali game not men,
toned in the rules. 4 team made up of
players who have never seen nor read of a
game, and had never had any instruction
outside of the rules, would haveno hit-and-
run plays; no squeeze plays; probably no
men caught "fat-footed" off base. no dou-
BILE steals. no delayed steals. no shifting
of the infeld according to the runners on,
the score and the outs: no signaling,
no signal stealing, no hiden bali tricks,
no stalling tricks. by which player is
led to think a ball is fielded in one place
when it Is really fielded elsewhere--in
fact the very heart and soul of base ball
would be missing. The batter would hit
or walk and patiently wait for his sue
cessor to hit or walk to advance him.
Runs would be in exact proportion to
hits. and outs would be made only in the
stereotyped ways. and nobody would care
either to play or to see the game.
So ii might be said. without much fear
of contradiction, that the strategy of the
game, the part played by brains and wits,
is more to base ball than athletic ability
to run, hit. field or throw. spectacular
and exciting as plays made only by
strength, muscle and skill must always be.

Abolishing Monopoly.

This monopoly was abolished in France.
at least on paper. in 1850; in Prussia in
1915; in Saxony. a country that produces
but little salt. not until 1910. At the pres
ent day there is still in some countries a
sort Of embargo or revenue tax on the
manufacture of the article. and salt
works are guarded like the distilleries in
the United States. In Austria all salt
wells and mines are the property of the
government. England has levied no tax
on salt since 1925; Belgium only since
1871.
Some countries still raise considerable
revenue from salt if their situation Is
such that its manufacture cannot be car
ried on cheaply The statistics of the
Italian government for 1S3I-9S report that
the largest item in the budget was de-
rived from the revenue of the salt
monopoly. Since then the price has been
much reduced. yet only last year the gov
ernment collected $l1.0;9O0 from this
item. Common salt costs in Italy cents a
pound at present. This is a very high
price in country where the labOrer
works ten or twelve hours a day for 40
cents, in some districts even for 10 cents.
So precious was salt in that country until
a few years ago that if You offered the
children of the very poor their choice
between handful of sweetmeats and
salt they always chose the latter.

WORKINGMEN's COMPENSATION
Under New Law Illinois Court Gives
Carpenter Most of a Claim.

An illustration of the operations of the
workingmens compensation law in the
state OF Illinois recently developed in
Chicago. where a carpenter collected
from the company by whom lie was en-
ployed the sum of $1G' for injuries to
his thumb and right arm while woriiing
for the corporation. The settlement as
made at the direction of the superior
court was as follows: Sixty-one days
lost time, $122; hospital bill, ST.; physi-
clans bill, IS; total, $193.
The carpenter, John J. Faust by name
was hurt by the slipping of a ladder
which caused him to fall. He continued
to work until May IL. when his condition
became such that the physician whom
he consulted ordered him taken to the
hospital. He was there for some time
and was told that he ought not to work
until August L. He then filed in the su.
perior court a petition in which he signi-
fled his willingness to settle with the
company under the workingmen's COM
pensation law. and the company accepted
his proposition.

Burmese Pagodas.

From Wide World Magazine.
Eight or nine mics below Mandalay, in
Burma. the right bank of the Irrawaddy
is hilly and in the neighborhood of the
old Burmese town Of Sagaing the hills
are dotted all over with pagodas. These
are not temples. but are built by pious
people as offerings to the supreme power,
it being generally believed that such acts
of devotion count to the builders credit
in the next wor d. The pagodas are Of
all kinds, according to the means of the
builders. from primitive whitewashed
structures to ornate erections with
grotesque silded lions. The lions have
various meanings, but stand chiefly as a
reminder of unselfish devotion. An an
cient Burmese legend, taught to all Bur-
mese children. is that of ioness who
nursed and guarded the baby son of a
king. and who died of broken heart
when the prince grew up and went away.

Railway Travel in South Africa.
From the. South African Railway Magazine.

From the South African Railway Magazine.
Not only is passenger traffic increasing
in short distance trains, but the taking of
holiday trips, lengthy railway journeys to
the coast or from the coast inland, is be-
coming much more common among an
ever widening circle. The passenger traf-
fic between the Rand and Durham this
season is phenomenal and the excursions
to the Victoria Falls have been extern
sively patronized, while weekend visits
to places OF easy access from the larger
towns may now be regarded as perma-
nently popular
There are doubtless many reasons for
this increased desire for travel and it's
qualification. not the least important be-
ing the low rates at which excursion
traffic is now run and the excellent ar
rangements made by the railway admin
istration for the conveyance and con-
yenience Of passengers.

Per Capita Consumption.

In Europe the quantity of salt appor-
toned to each individual, outs de of Rus
STA, is reckoned at thirty pounds But the
various countries differ greatly in this re-
spect rather less than ten POUNDS being
assigned to Spain, twenty-five pounds to
England and forty to Germany. Where
the price is high and the people poor 1t
is sparingly used: where it is cheap and
the standard of living relatively high a
great deal is wasted.
The salt monopoly was perhaps the
most oppressive form of taxation devised
by government. 1t was levied on the as
sumption that it is indispensable and that
the subject must have certain amount
of it and will buy it without regard to
cost. This method of collecting revenue
prevailed in almost all the countries OF
Europe until far along in the modern era.
it's object being to collect the largest
amount Of revenue without regard to the
financial ability of the consumer
Not only was the manufacture of the
article a government monopoly, it also
appointed inspectors, whose business it
was to see that every subject purchased
an amount arbitrarily apportiOned but
that he did not sell any part of his
allotment. Even those persons who lived
on the seashore, where they could pro-
vide themselves with salt without ex-
pense, were forbidden to do So and the
coast was paroled to prevent them from
obtaining the brine.

From the Dietetic Gazette.
If one were to ask hundred house
wives to name the Indispensable articles
for the culinary department there is little
doubt that five score of them would pu-
salt first in the list. 1t is regarded as alb
solutely essential to almost every edible
that is placed on the table, fruls being
the only exception, and even some kinds
of fruit are supposed by some persons
to be improved if slightly saline.
Although the salt production of several
countries is reported with close approx
imation 10 accuracy. it is impossible to
tell how much is taken for personal use
and how much is otherwise consumed.
While it is easy for a family to keep
record of all the salt it uses directly,
considerable quantity is fed to cattle,
which is also assigned to the family.
Thus it will happen that two families
having an equal number of members will
consume very unequal quantity of salt.

the barns and board fences still glow
with fiamboyant announcements that
the circus is coming to town. and at no
time of the year are the youngsters and
the children of larger growth more IN

of the circus certainly there is no one
individual among the performers who

him a longer line of history than the

However these things may be, it seems
certain that the clown in the character
in which We know him is development
of the testers of the medieval ages. with
little of the costume of Pierrot and
something of his sportiveness. Then he

The clown who engages the greatest de-

clown of the latter day circus. 1t is
difficult to consider him properly outside
of his setting. 1t is source of a certain
amount of patriotic pride to realize that
the United States has done it's full part
toward the development of this unique in

celebrated for his part in the pantomime
