Early Action.

NEW YORK. February 7.-When the
National League meets here on Tuesday
for It's annual schedule meeting IT Is
probab BILE that some action may be taken
TO rcsclnd the retrenchment measures
which thu older organization adopted
at its meeting here last December. The
action OF the American League last
week in deciding not TO reduce tho
player limit of twenty five players, and
also In deciding to permit tho various
clubs to go to their Southern training
campo before March l, IL they choose,
indicates that the johnson circuit Is
not going to practice any radical eco
nomical measures, in spite of the Fed
eral League opposition.
The National League passed resolu-
lions denying their clubs the privilege
OF reporting at spring training camps
before March /. and the layer limit was
cut TO twenty-one players. although
President Hampstead OF New York. and
the Boston and Chicago clubs were not
in favor OF the action.
VIII Follow American League.
The National League took these
measures OF economy at the instigation
of tho second division clubs, all of
which protested that. on account OF
the poor season last year. the retrench-
Ineni policy was advisable. But now
that the American League has decided
TO stand pat on all its policies, it liz
not unlikely that the National League
Will rescind its former action.
The mrs; action taken by the National
League on Tuesday will be the meet
Ing of the board of Directors. There
are several matters OF minor tmpor-
lance which Will be settled at this time
The league has decided that II will do

The Literal Jamaican Mind.

During the early period Of the work
on the Panama canal many persons
were injured by jumping on and of
trains in motion on the Panama rail
road. There were on the zone police
force many West Indians who were
trained and capable men, but incwably
literal. An order was issued to the
force to arrest any person found jump
ing on or off train in motion, and the
next day two West Indian policemen
brought into a police station a white
man who was struggling iercely to
break away from them.
"What have you arrested him forT
asked the police sergeant who was on
duty.
For jumping on and off the rear Of
train, sah," one of the policeman re
piled.

A Great Italian Estate.

The Duke of Sermoneta rankstamons
the greatest land owners in Italy.
Fogliano, his estate near the Pontine
marshes, extends to 10000 acres, main
ly under grass, for the duke owns vast
herds of cattle The most productive
portion of the estate, however, Is a
lake several miles long and about a
mile In breadth, which, from the time
Of the Roman empire downward, has
supplied fish for the market In Rome.
Whenever there is a flood caused by
rain on the hills the lake overfows
through narrow channel into the
sea- The sea fish find their way
through into the lake, remain to fat
ten in the fresh water and then are
captured on their return by an ingent
Gus labyrinth constructed Of reeds into
which they swim. They are of the
best kind--chie6y gray mullet.-Lon.

The Hurt Flower.

Somebody, a scientist, has assured
US that plants are not insenslble to in,

Of rough treatment. Whether this Is
true or not. there comes the notion that
1t would be blessing If everybody
had the Imagination to fancy a violet
sensitive to rough hands and the
weight Of careless heel. 'Twould
mean more gentleness in a world none
too tender toward many Of the beauti
full things of life.
More than a century and a quarter
ago Robert Burns, on turning down q
mountain daisy with the plowshare
broke into a song typical Of his sym.
pathetic nature:
Wee, modest. crimson tipped flower.

Spohr and the Violin.

Louis Spohr, the greatest Of all Ger
man violinists and a man whose name
Is otherwise indehbly written on the
pages Of musical history, was born at
Brunswick on April 8, 1884, just fifteen
days after his great contemporary and
rival, Nicolo Paganini, first saw the
light of the world. Two greater con-
trasts than these two men'could not be
imagined. Paganini, the brilliant, daz-
cling, comet-like apparition, overawed
the masses, for whose favor he made a
high bid, while the German, theserious,
dignified, deep artist, appealed to the
connoisseurs and cultured musicians.
Spohr both by precept and example
exerted tremendous influence on VIC
lin playing and violin composition
and, In fact, on composition in gen
eral. The greatest musicians Of his
day stood in awe of him, and even
Richard Wagner, after Spohr had pro-
duced "The Flying DutchmaR' at Cas-
sci in 1943, where he was then conduc-
tor Of the opera, in letter written to
the great violinist displayed a,sense Of
gratitude of which In later years he
seemed incapable. Spohr diedtat Cas-
sci in 1859.

The Sex of Ships,

The word ship" is masculine in
French, Italian, Spanish and Portu-
guese and possesses no sex in Teutonic
and Scandinavian. Perhaps 1t would
not be an error to trace the custom Of
Terminating ships back to the Greeks,
who called them by feminine names,
probably out Of Difference to Athene,
goddess Of the sea. But the English
speaking sailor assigns no such rea-
sons. The ship to him is always a
lady, even though she be man-of-war.
She possesses waist, collars, stays,
laces, bonnets, ties, ribbons, chains,
watches and dozens Of other distinctly
feminine attributes.-Collier' Weekly.
