BOY MANAGER OF MAPS
 BEGINS THIRTTETH YEAR

According to statistics set forth in the baseball dope, 9Joseph Birming- ham was born in EImira, N. Y.. Aug. s, 1884. If you are as proficient a
 mathematician as the writer of these lines, you won't have to use more than two pads of paper and three pen c1lS to figure out that the boy man
 ager will be twenty-nine years old to-
 morrow. Of, to put it another way,
 he will begin his thirtieth year, which
 listens better, because Dode is a wee
 bit tired of being referred to as the child leader of the Maps. Joseph con- siders that his accomplishments with team which formerly played the role
 Of door-nat, and invited everybody to step on it, entities him to have and
 to hold all the Ndignfttes and per . Quisites of a full-size man, and to eat at the first table. Wherefore Joe would have it known and published
 broadcast that he long ago donned long pants and continues to wear 'ern when not actively engaged in the exigencies of his profession. Child manager and boy leader and kill pilot be hornswoggled,' 7 says Joe. Horn 3swoggIed'' is the extreme limit in ex- pletives for Joseph, even when dis cussing Ban Johnson, which proves that he has not forgotten the lessons inculcated while he was a member of the Fathew Matthews Temperance Society baseball team, back in 1904 and 1905.
 Under Birmingham's management, the Maps have manifested more esprit ct viYaeite, as Napoleon Lajoie would put it, than at any time for some nine or fifteen years. They have become, to quote Larry again, sun courageous bunch. Joesis of the fighting type of Irishman-that being about the only type there is-and he has injected some of his ginger and nerve into his formerly meek playrnates. Knocking pitchers from the box has been a favorite diversion of the Maps since Birmingham took charge. Birming- ham broke one of his legs trying to
 win a game,and would have broken all of them if it would have helped any. He had precedent for this, for back in 1910 Joe Evers sacrificed leg to defeat Cincinnati and cinch the rag for the Cubs, and it was this same cheerful disregard of consequences that made Husk Chance the peerless leader. Joe began his league career with the New York State circuit in 1906. and joined Cleveland as an out fielder in 1907.

sThe style of Russian Journalism. x eays Stephen Graham, in @Chang1na Russia,'' ifs most refreshing. The bgevity of the sentence and the para graph has been developed to the abso- lute- I opened Satirikon one day to S1d heading the first article on the first pages Spit in my eye, reader Spit right in my eyer
 There is nothing in English or American journalism equal to that But such a sentence Is not exceptional. It sets the tone of the paper, and Sa- fzrikon is read by every one, from the student b the grand duke. Every one who would not miss something essen S5zl in the Russian soul should look at SatIr1kon- It is horrible, but it 1s Instructive.

 The three marks on the back of a glove and the clocks on stocking are due practically to the same circum- stance. The glove marks correspond to the fourchette pieces between the fingers, and in other days these pieces wefe continued along the back of the hand, braid being used to conceal the seams.
 A somewhat similar origin is assign ed to the ornamental clock on the stocking. In the days when stockings were made of cloth the seams occurred where the clocks do now, the ornamen- tation then being used to conceal the seams.

George Meredithis Faith.

The English dramatist Alfred Sntro, speaking of the late George Meredith, with whom he was closely acquainted, said:
 NOne incident of George Meredith's life has always impressed me. He was about to undergo an operation and had been told by his physician that the danger was considerable. He said nothing about 1t, however. The night before he was to go under the knife he invited several of his dearest friends to dine with him. It was one of the jol- Hest little dinners of his life. The next day he was operated upon. and he came through it safely. After it was all over he was asked if he were not afraid.

Care of the Teeth.

The teeth should be washed in teDid water inside as well as outside with fairly stiff toothbrush in the morning and the last thing at night. This helps greatly to preserve them, as the primary cause of dental decay is the decomposition of particles of food left between the teeth after meal Washing with stiff brush dis lodges these particles, and rinsing the mouth freely afterward with some warm disinfectant mouth wash com pletely removes them.
