Wash That Sticks.

In making whitewash that will not
scale off, find the following very
good, writes a contributor to the
Washington Herald. Dissolve glue in
hot water, and add in the proportion
of a pint Of water to four gallsns of
whitewash; or dissolve an ounce OF
gum arabic in a pint of boiling wa
ter and stir in, observing the same
proportions. Before applying this or
any other wash. scrape the wall clean
and smooth. Another good method
is to add ultramarine glue, as it gives
pretty tint. A little salt added TO
the whitewash is very good: 1t pre-
vents ii from rubbing OF.

Discarded Hcadwesr Finally Winds
Up In Homes for the Aged
and Unfortunate.

A man wearing a derby hat went
into New York hat store the other
day to purchase a hat When he had
selected one that suited him he hand
ed the clerk the money for the new
hat, together with the derby.
Here, take this," said the purchas
er. Il have some bundles to carry
home and l do not want to add any
thing to my burden. Give me a check
and l will call in for the hat on Mon
day"
The clerk gave a check to the man
and then remarked to customer who
had overheard the conversation:
HE will never return for that old
hat. It is so old that he wouldn't be
bothered carrying It home, so he de-
cided to leave It here, excusing his
act by declaring that he had other
bundles to carry. Giving him a check
was Just mere formality; that's why
we made up the checks out of cheap
material"
Men mrst leave a large number of
old hats here In season." inquired
the customer.
Yes, they do responded the clerk,
but we have a method of disposing
of them"
"How?" inquired the interested Gus
toner.
well, we hold all the hats left us
until the end of the season. Then we
send them to old mems homes, where
there is always a demand for such
headgear The officers of the institu-
tons divide the old hats among the
inmates, who are delighted to get
them. Isn't that better plan than
throwing them in the waste heap?"

Writer Finds II Hard to Understand
Why u ls Not More Generally
Used by Man.

Why not eat guinea-pig5 And
why rot rear guinea-pigs for the pro-
vision market? These are perfectly
| serious questions. The guinea-pig
(Which is not pig at all, but a
rodent related to the rabbits, and
which does not come from Guinea,
but from South America) is as ed
ihlc ps hare or squirrel little
bundle Of fat, perfectly wholesome
ncsh. 1t is small, to be sure, but so
arc several other game animals that
we seek for the table; a full-grown
one viii weigh nearly two pounds,
dressed.
The animal, which is really a
cavy, is nice in its habits, and feeds
whollyon grain and green vegetables.
1t is rot subject to the internal par
asites, such as tapeworms, that afflict
so many rabbits, and its flesh tastes
much like that of squirrel. Its
relatives, the rock-cavy, the agouti
and the capybara, are highly es-
teemed in South America.
When the SpaRiards conquered
Peru they found the ancestors of our
pet CAVES an ordinary and favorite
food. The natives prepared them
much as we do a sucking pig, by
scalding and scraping off the hair,
and then roasting or baking the car
cass whole. European travellers since
have found the meat excellent when
thus baked or roasted, when made
into stews, or served in a curry. 1t
is best when the animal is about
year old. Guinea-pigs are easily and
cheaply reared, increase rapidly, and
could readily be furnished by the
thousand to town markets, or kept to
serve the home table. 1t is a waste
of opportunity not to make use Of
the animal for food.-Youth's Com
panion.

Not infrequently when a school
sights a promising young player. they
write and ask him how he would like
to work his way through college. He
is given work that will pay his board
and tuition. Throughout the football
season he is provided with plenty OF
spending money.
If he is willing to work hard for
an education he is given $50 week
for taking a seniors pet dog out fol-
walk.
OF course every -tar player in the
big schools isn't a hired hand. Fan
be it from such. But just the same il

ing for a honest young fellow who is
ambitious to learn all about Biblical
literature"
So the amiable stranger sends the
young high school player away to
college. He sends him to the same
school that he went to because he's
wealthy and can afford it and also
he would like to see his school have
a first class foot ball team. The
young man becomes what in football
circles is sometimes termed a hired
man"
The hired man" in football is not
rara avis. OF course any college
man is rah-rah avis, but the player
who is employed or made an offer or
otherwise induced to attend one school
in preference to another isn't partic-
ularly rare. The case cited above,
while largely hypothetical. gives a
pretty fair idea of how some young
men go through college.

of those who sought to stop him. Sew
eral who got in his way by mistake
still lie PROSTATE on the field, some of
them with their vertebrae columns
badly twisted while others have mere

clear that the young man who made
the sensational run is a very clever
football player. At this point he is
approached by a well dressed, nice
looking man who grasps the hero by
the hand and engages him in CONVEX

NO BASEBALL WAR
SAYS HERMANN

Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct 29.-August
Hermann, chairman of the national
baseball commission, in a statement
yesterday said he could see very little
that is inequitable or improper in
the demands recently made by the
players through David FultE. president
of the Players Protective association,
and he thought the trouble complained
of by the players could easily be ad-
justed. The statement follows:
On looking through the demands
made by the players ! fird few things
| ineCuitabic or uureS sonablC and very
few things that cannot be settled
quickly, with fairness and the best of
good will on both sides There should
be amicable relations and good under
standing between employer and en-
ploye in every profession and the pres.
ent baseball troubles can easily be
smoothed over. Most of the players
requests could really be adjusted with,
out need of special statutes simply
! by a few hours talk between the par.
/ ties involved.
Officially. we have not yet received
| a copy of the players demands, but
we will no doubt receive them in due
season. Only one hitch is likely:
The commission will not talk with
Mr.. FultZ.
If the players wish to send dele
! cation of their own number, with al
active player as spokesman, we will
receive them in the most amicabl
fashion, but we cannot see where any
outsider has any business in this af
fair, any more than If we should ASK
the players to stand for dictation from
an attorney without a share of stocl
or the slightest interest in any bal
