Cool breezes for few days have
produced a few sore arms in the
camp of the Louisville Colonies who
have been training here just a week
tomorrow. The first days effect of
the reduced temperature was to en-
liven the work of the club but today
that inevitable stiffening process of
every spring season began to crop
out and its cure is work and plenty
of it.
Every afternoon, however, the air
has always warmed up in great
shape for the antics Of the players
and they take full dvantge Of it s..
Manager Hayden of the Colonies is
great believer in getting his men
rushed through with their period of
stiffness and for that reason does not
spare them even at this time.
This afternoon the Colonies played
their first semblance Of a game. 1t
was an abbreviated affair listing but
five innings and the two teams tax
ing part were composed Of the mem
bers of the Louisville squad and
four or five Of the Lakeland boys.

EYEGLASSES.

Odd you ever notice. queried an
optician, that nearly every person
who wears rimless eyeglasses when
polishing the lenses with a handker-
chief holds the glasses by the nose
piece, thus putting all the strain of the
rubbing upon the screws which attach
the glass 20 the metal? OF course this
tends TO loosen the glass and wear out
the thread upon the tiny screw. This
in turn causes the lenses TO wabble,
resulting in great discomfort to the
wearer. It's strange how little intel
lgence really intelligent people display

A Queer Sentence.

- monkey exhibited at museum eS-
tablished at Tacubaya, Mexico, was
condemned TO be shot under judicial
sentence. 1t seems that the animal bit
man, who died from the results Of
the bite. The family of the deceased
brought complaint before judge, who
was foolish enough TO institute Grim
inal proceedings against the monkey
and sentenced him TO be shot. Luckily
the manager Of the museum brought
influence TO bear and succeeded i'm oh
tanning a change Of the sentence to
perpetual imprisonment The monkey
is now enduring the punishment Of his
crime behind the bars of an iron cage
at the museum.

from this immemoria belief that we
must trace the present day faith in the
virtues Of the bayberry candle.
The bay is Il species of laurel, and as
poets and yictors were crowned With
the laurel or the bay, wishing them long
life and happiness 50 is the same wish
conveyed in the bestowal of Il candle
made Of the waXen berries borne by
the sacred tree.
Bayberry dips are also made as well
as the nodded candles. These dips are
smaller and less even in shape and
show us how candles were made by re-
pealedly dipping the wicks in the melt
ed wax Of the bayberries and drying
each layer till the dip was of proper
size. That was before molds were in
troduced, early in the eighteenth cen
fury.
To accompany bayberry candle one
should send in the little box in which
1t is daintily wrapped "A card on which
is printed, in red and green lettering,
the legend:
ON CHRISTMAS EVE
A bayberry candle burnt to the socket
Brings luck TO the house.
Food to the larder
And gold TO the pocket.
When these cards are no to be found
the luck rhine may be Written on the
back Of ones visiting card and wrap

beautifully with other Christmas
decorations, and they burn with a

pungent fragrance, and they are con
sumed evenly all around without MAX

From New England comes the tradi
ton that If lovers separated by dis
lance each lights bayberry candle In
honor of the other at the same hour
the aroma or incense arising from the
burning wick will drift i'm the direc-
ton Of the absent one; hence the
candles make strong appeal to young
people Of romantic temperament.

~ ElIl year the lltlle green pdy
berry candles are sent rs luck
IA bringing gifts 10 an even
greater extent than during
the past few holiday seasons. The rea
son for this is that the people who re
ceived them the past year or two-and
who did not thought that they really
did seem TO bring them good fortune;
hence this increasingly rapid growth of
the candies popularity as a substitute
for the conventional Christmas card
or as constituting in itself an unpre
tentious little gift symbolizing every
good wish.
But, while a great many people both
send and receive bayberry candles as
gifts, there are but few who know
whence they come or why the luck su-
perStition is inseparabe from them.
The candles, or dips" as they were
first called, are the product OF a re
vived industry started few years ago
in the old Massachusetts towns Of Deer
field and bingham and in the kitchens
of the Cape Cod people, all of them
using the old pewter or tin mOlds that
have descended in the families from
colonial times. Old southern villages
have not as yet realized the opportuni-
~ offered its women in this revived in
dustry, although the bayberry candles
were made by the early settlers in all
the coast colonies where the berries
grew, never being found inland.
AS to the origin Of the good luck
idea, we seek it in vain among colonial
chronicles as applied to the candle
itself. Yet from times far earlier the
bay tree and the laurel were consider
ed sacred 10 good fortune, and it is
