Ibsen's Ghosts" Offended.

Twenty-Five years ago there took place the first performance in England of Ibsen's Ghosts" remarks the Lon. don Times.
 The play formed the opening pro. ducti0n of the Independent thea.er founded by J. T. Grein, who recalls that the occasion elicited no less than DUO articles, mostly vituperating h. sen, while some families closed their doors against MT. Grein on the ground that he had produced an immoral play Another storm was raised by Zola's "Therese Raquin," the second play of the society-whose first members in. cluded George Meredith, Thomas Hardy, Sir Arthur Sullivan and Henry Arthur Jones.
 One of the greatest successes Of the Independent theater occurred In 1893, when Mir. Grein obtained from Bernard Shaw the manuscript of his first play, "Widowers' Houses"

Midway Island.

Midway is the name of a small coral island in the Pacific ocean which is made to bear it's part in mans scheme or things as a relay station of the Commercial Pacific Cable company. At the beginning 1t was just about large enough for the purpose to which 1t is put, but 1t is growing and has bright prospects. Every three months @ schooner Is sent to Midway with food and other supplies for the cable operators. Whatever space there is in the ship not required for supplies is filled up with the native soil of Hawaii, where the vessel is outfitted, and the earth Is dumped where 1t will do the most good toward rounding out the periphery of Midway. This pro. cess has been going on so long and successfully that there is now a mead. ow almost extensive enough to afford pasturage for a COW. Not all of the facts herein set forth might be read. lily accepted as such, but they are rendered doubtproof by publication in Commercial Reports" which, as all know, has the backing and sanc- tion of federal government.

cutting will rarely pay directly for its removal, the resulting enhance ment in value of the remaining stand makes the work a good investment.
 The presence of dead or dying trees In the stand, a very dense interlocked proportion to their height, or appac- ent stagnation in the height growth, all indicate that thinning is needed. This usually is done when the stand Is from 15 to 20 years old. The oper- ation is similar in principal to thin hing any other farm crop where it is desired to obtain few good plants rather than many of poor quality. The owner should use the ax with care, removing only trees which crowd oth- CTS and cause too great competition for sunlight. Material removed in a thinning is valuable for fence posts and poles and should pay for the op- eration. As rule, not more than one dfth to one-fourth of the trees should be removed at one time, Grapevine, ivy and woodbine, and similar climb CTS which have grown into the tre

PUT INTEREST IN THE WORK
Some Hints for Those Who Wou'o outsrow Self-Consciousness
 in Public.

If you are selfconscious do not al low yourself to get the idea that you are different from other people. Prac- tically every one who appears in pub lie work has the same experience of being self-conscious at some time in his career, William E. Towne writes in the Nautilus.
 You will find the most direct cure is to get so interested in your work, in your speaking, singing or acting, that you forget the audience. Whenever you feel nervous just before public appearance, turn your thought to your work. Displace the fear and worry thought with a thought of interest in your work. Learn to abandon your self to the part you are to play until you have crowded out the fear thoughts and driven them entirely from your mind.
 Slow rhythmic breathing will in- variably help you Hold the breath just an instant before you expel it. Af- hrmation and prayer will help, in pro- portion as you have faith in them and apply them with feeling. Physical re- laxing exercises just before a public appearance will also help. Mrs Annie Payson Call has written some very practical books on relaxation and poise that would help in this matter
 Do everything deliberately and slow ly just previous to the time you appear before your audience. Worry is close ly allied to the feeling of hurry. Keep your mind occupied so that you will not get to feeling hurried and panicky. Make all your physical movements and your breathing deliberate This will help you to control your mind
 If your thought is distracted by ap- plause during the delivery of your lines bring your thought right back to your work and abandon yourself to your part as if the audience did not exist
 Remember, the one thing to aim at is to displace the worry thoughts crowd them out, by keeping the mind occupied with your work. The psy. chologists say that the best way to break up a train of thought is to dis place it with another train. You will have to put forth some effort of will at first, but if you wade in" each time with the determination to go through with it anyhow, doing the best you can, you will soon find 1t is a little easier to let go,' and the worry and tension will begin to relax.
 These methods are equally good fol any kind of bashfulness or self-con sciousness.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture)
 A cash return for the wood grown on the farm woodlot is just as possi- ble as profit on other farm crops Farmers often lose sight of this fact mainly because timber requires only small amount of labor but a long period of years to bring it to a mar ketable condition. Often, therefore, the owner is satisfied with an annual supply of dead frewood, and the wood lot becomes harboring place for in- sect pests and a meager pasturage for roaming live stock. Yet improvement of the woodlot depends upon just a few simple principles which any farm CT may learn and practice. These are contained III new farmers bulletin, No. I'll, published by the United States department of agriculture.
 Improvement of the woodlot begins with the cutting out of all dead and diseased timber. Then the mature moved, like any other farm crop, when conditions favor sale. New trees should be planted in the open spaces to grow up and fill in the forest can opy and encourage the growth of tall, straight timber.
 Woodlots may be divided into two classes, each determined by the char acter of the stand On one type, the trees are second growth of approxi- mately the same age and it Is found that undesirable species are crowd ing out valuable trees, the former should be cut to allow the unhampered growth of the better quality tim Der. While timber taken out in this

younger trees beneath. Such a tract should first be cleared of dead and diseased timber. Next, the mature living trees should be removed. This should be delayed, however, until suf. hcient reproduction Is started in the openings made in the first operation, and marketing conditions permit satisfactory sale. Heavy stands com. posed al, lost wholly of mature trees should not be removed all at once un. less the owner expects to provide for the new crop by planting. The old trees should be taken off in two or three successive cuttings at intervals of several years, each cutting taking from one-third to one-half the trees. These cuttings allow the remaining trees to receive more sunlight and thus encourage them to produce more seed. Neither of the first two cuttings should be so heavy as to encourage the growth of weeds or grass on the forest floor. The third cutting should be made after the seedlings are es. tablished and there is no further need
 
 Scattered old trees, suppressing val. uable young growth, often will be found in woodlots. Such trees will never be of much value for lumber and their widespreading habit often results in the suppression or killing of the young and better-formed seed- lings. which frequently may be ol c vol, .r, cases to remove the old trees at once.
 Pasture and timber production can. not be practiced on the same area, except to the disadvantage of each, and the combination will not be as remunerative to the owner as the prac- tice of either one separately. Cattle, horses. sheep or goats eat young seed lings, trample them out, or brush against them and break them of. Hogs eat the seed and thus prevent reproduction from starting, or root young seedlings out of the ground. The existing growth Is damaged through the trampling or wounding of the roots and the compacting of the soil so that it is impervous to water. Horses should be kept out of the woodlot entirely because they often peel the bark from trees ans eat the young shoots. When young growth is not desired, a few head of cattle are permissible, provided, however, that the ground is not soft when they are turned in. Hogs may be used to aid reproduction before the time for the seed to fall. They will root up the ground and thus put it in good condition for receiving the seed Goats and sheep should be allowed in the woodlot only when it is necessary to clear up brush of undesirable species
 Care should be taken to keep fire from getting into the woodlot. This destroys the fallen leaves and accum- ulated litter of several years. thus do- ing away with the very material with which the trees enrich their own soil. Burned-over ground becomes exposed, evaporation is greater, and more of the rain and melted snow runs off the surface. Leaf or grass fires usually destroy the young seedlings up to one inch in diameter and also do great damage to other trees in the stand. especially by making conditions favor able for the entrance of rot-producing fungi.

Final Contest Goes Fourteen
Innings-Schultz Shines
in Pinch.

Pittsburgh, July 1.-THE Pittsburgh
Pirates defeated the Brooklyn Robins
in both games of a double-header here
this afternoon. The final contest was
waged through fourteen thrilling inn
ings. The visitors. one run back, raj
lied and knotted the count in the ninth
frame, only to have the Buccaneers
rally in their half of the final frame
and put over the winning run. The
first game lasted only the regulation
nine innings, but was equally exciting.
The scores were l to 0 and to !, re-
spectively.
BROOKLYN now holds its grip on the
leadership of the league by margin
of two and one-half games over the
Boston Braves, who downed the 81
Louis Cardinals.
Jeff Pfeffer, the Grand Rapids giant,
has seldom pitched a better game OF
bal in his career, only TO have 1t tossed
away because of an error by Ollie
O'Mara, who muffed savage line drlve
off the bat of Hans Wagner. Carey
was on second At the time, ana got 10
third on the error.
There was some excuse for O'Mara,
for the ball was going at such ter
rife rate that il tore Ollie's hands
apart and the leather dropped. A long
hy by Bill Hinchman followed, and
Carey crossed the plate with the only
run Of the game.
Pfeffer allowed only four hits, and in
FIVE of the eight frames he faced the
Pirates he kept them far away from
the lines, walking them Up and down IN
Indian file, but 0Mara spoiled 1t all.
Irving Kantlehner, who pitched
against Pfeffer, was even more erec-
tive. He let the Robins down with
only three hits. He was placed in an
awkward position in the eighth inning
because Of an ivory play by Hans
Wagner. Myers singled, and Getz bunt-
ed in front of the plate Myers went
10 second. while Wilson tagged out
Getz. and then the Pirate catcher at
tempted 10 get Myers at second, Wag-
ner taking the throw. The Dutchman
thought that the bunt was foul, and
carelessly threw past first base, Myers
taking third Only one man was out
but Kantlehner got Mccarthy on FOUL
and PfefTer's bid for single was con-
verified into an out at first by Baird.
Larry Cheney and Bullet Miller OPP
posed each other in the second game
and the speed merchant carried tne
spit ball artist along for seven innings
at a furious clip. In fact, Miller had
the better of the argument, for tne
score was to against Brooklyn wneh
Myers batted in place OF Cneney IN the
eighth. Wheeler Dell relieved Cheney
but Sherrod Smith finished the game,
and is charged with the defeat.

TEN, which advanced both Yanks and
accounted later for the needed run.
The Yanks won this game in the
fifth when Magee and Hartzell singled
and Amanda Marsans lost Peck's fy in
the sun. Amanda has ranged the Cuban
veldts for many years but he says that
Cuba has never grown a sun with as
much candle power as that Of yester-
day. This slip was responsible for
three runs, as both Magee and Alex
ander scored and later on another
tally was added. After Hamilton had
been retired a tall and stately citizen
by the name of Davenport refused to
let the weary Yanks Nrest on his sys-
tenn. He held them TO one hit in the
last three frames.
Just after Hamilton emitted his balk

Doyle, Burns, Rariden and
Lobert Make Hits for
Extra Bases.

Chicago, July ia change Of scene
worked for the benefit of the New
York Giants here this afternoon. Up
/ from the heat and humidity came the
host from the great metropolis and,
/ finding the climate more endurable,
| turned to and defeated the Cubs IN
good old-fashioned smuggling match by
a score Of to s.
Extra base hits flew thick and fast,
and had the Cubs made the best use of
their legs they might have won. But
they failed to do so, and there is little
10 be said in extenuation of their per-
formance.
The Giants, on the other hand, were
keenly alive to their opportunities and,
armed with bats that swung TO meet
the ball with unerring accuracy, ham
mered out a victory over opponents
who were quite as strong physically,
but who lacked the cunning TO make
their physical force count for some
thing worth while.
The Giants made eleven hits, and
with the exception of Kauff and Doolan
every man who faced the pitching more
than once got at least one hit. Doyle,
Burns, Rariden and Lobert got doubles,
and Lobert-more power to his declin-
ing years-also poled out rollicklng
triple.
No apology was needed for the Of
fensive power of the Cubs. They
E'gathered in a bakers dozen Of hits,
and in these were included home runs
/ 1 ~ Ta,I a
a double by Cy Williams. Otto Knabe
got three safeties, as did Heinie Zim-
norman, while Williams, Mann and
Zeider each got two hits.
All this power and energy otherwise
directed might have accomplished Won
ders, but a great deal of il was wasted
through stupid base running. Through
out the afternoon the paths were thick
with Giants and Cubs, but the latter
were the thicker of the two.
In the third inning the Cubs had a
rare chance to do things, but they
went to pieces, and only one run was
scored. With the bases full. Rariden
made a quick throw TO second and
trapped Mann off, but Knabe started
for home from third. The Giants de-
voted their attention TO Otto, who got
back safely when Lobert dropped a
throw In the meanwhile Mann dashed
for second base, but found Williams
there also.
Benny Kauff, thinking that he might
be needed for something or other, ran
in from centre field, and when Mike
Doolan recovered the ball which Lobert
dropped and threw 70 Kauff the last
named tagged Williams out and then
got Mann as he attempted to slide into
the bag. Knabe remained on third
while this dual killing was executed
and counted on hit by Zimmerman.
That was not the only instance where
faulty base running cut down the
chances of the Cubs, but it stood out.
Bill Rariden, the catcher Of the Giants,
played a remarkable game for his
team, and he started three of the four
double plays clicked of by the Giants.
The entire New York nine felded we'll,
and Lobert, despite his muff of the
throw on Knabe, more than did his
share. The veteran Teuton handled
four other chances. Doyle had seven
chances, and Mike Doolan won favor
with his mates by taking care Of nine
opportunities.
RUDE Benton and Jimmy Lavender
started the game against each other,
but neither lasted. The latter was
shelled off the rubber in two innings,
