Primitive people.

The natives of st. Hilda, In the
Hebrides, have decided to abandon a
quaint custom which they have fol-
lowed for more than a century, of
electing their own queen. Hereafter
they will take the natural descendant.
They have deposed Queen Margot and
will recognize Mary as their sovereign.
This news comes as the first communi-
cation from the island since last
September and was brought to London
by vessel which delivered census
papers at the island. The natives
there speak only Gaelic, but the
census papers were printed in English.
Otherwise the chief happenings on the
island include an influenza epidemic,
which caused many deaths. Persons
aboard the ship who could converse
with the natives said the chief ques-
tion on the island was whether the
war had broken out again.

"Why Scuthpaws."

The word "southpaw," used fire.
quently in the course of references to
baseball games, is bit of slang which
which has crept into the language dur
ing the last few years-a colloQuialism
which has behind 1t rather more OF
logical pedigree than most slang wOrcs
can. claim.
That the batter may not have to-
face the rays of the setting sun at
any time of the year, baseball dia-
mond Is usually laid out SO that the
batter's box faces due east The
pitcher therefore, faces westward.
while his right hand Is toward the
north and his left hand is toward the
south. AS the majority of pitchers
are rlght-handed, 1t was only natural
that an exception to this rule should
be singled out for a, certain specific
tltIe-and the name "southpaw' was
adopted on account of the usual
points of the compass In connection
with the diamond itself. The eccen-
tricities of Rube Waddell and other
"southpaws" have made the name
synonymous with '.erratic," so far as
baseball language is concerned,
though there Is no medical support for
the theory that left-handed persons
are more peculiar than those who use
their right hands.
