HANDED BALL PLAYERS.
They Should Pitch or Take the Out
field or First Base.

They Should Pitch or Take the Out
field or First Base.
Left handed throwers who desire to
play the infeld should confine their eff
forts to first base. The records of
baseball fail to show a left handed
thrower successful In any intield posi-
ton other than first base. This is due
to the fact that a left handed thrower
who tries to play second, third or
shortstop is always off his throwing
balance when he gets a ground ball.
1t Is necessary. therefore. that he
should change his position before he
can make a throw to any Of the other
bases with any degree Of accuracy.
A left handler is conceded to have
considerable advantage over a right
handler in playing first base. This is
because a left handed thrower at first
base is always in a position for throw
ing to any of the other infelders or
catcher without having to make any
shift. In handling bunts and attempt
ing a force play at some other base
the fraction Of a second saved in be-
ing able to field and throw with prac-
tically the same motion gets the yer
dict on many close plays.
Left handed throwers are under a
serious handicap when trying to catch.
A catcher who throws right handed
will tell you it is much easier to
throw to second with a right handed
batter up than a left handler. A right
handed batter gives the catcher a clear
view Of second base and the runner
With a left handed batter it is slight
iy obscured. The majority of batters
are right handlers.
Players who throw left handed
should choose only pitching, playing
the outfeld o. holding down first base.

WASHING FURNITURE.
Easy to Restore furnished Pieces to
Original Freshness.


VERY few people know that furni-
ture ought to be washed" said a sales
man in the furniture section of a large
department store. "Yet," he contin-
ued, 1T Is the best thing one can do
to keep furniture looking as well as it
should.
Zone should take a basin of tepid
rainwater and make a suds with a
good pure soap. Then with a soft
piece of cheesecloth all the woodwork
should be washed. It is astonishing
how much dirt will come off. A Sec
ond piece of cheesecloth should be
wrung dry out of hot water. On this
should be poured a tablespoonful of
first class furniture polish. The heat
will spread the polish through the
cloth. Next the furniture should be
gone over with the second cloth.
There will be no need of putting on
more polish, for that much will be all
one needs. Too many persons make
the mistake of using too much polish
and leaving it thick on the furniture.
where it looks dauby and where it
gathers more dirt"
There is furniture in homes today
that is cast off because of it's appear
ance when it might be brought back
to it's original freshness by this simple
process Of washing. Many persons do
not know that a fine bit of mahogany
is improved by careful washing, and
hundreds Of pianos have never been
more than busted in years. A square
Of cheesecloth for the washing and an
other for the polishing will do the
work, and the result will we'll repay

Origin Of the Opera.

The opera, like nearly everything
else interesting in the world of mind,

and Aeschylus, such as the "Agamem-
non" and "Antigone," a band of flutes
and Tyres constituting the orchestra.

Money Value of Discoveries.

II we count the wealth Of North
America and South America as it seems
today, we find that the discovery of
America by Christopher Columbus has

in August, 1892, down to the present
time. Likewise, the man who discov-
cred the way of drawing tungsten wire
gave $780, 100000 worth Of light yearly.
