"Roast" HandbaIl Players.

The excavations uttered by the IN
dignant baseball fan against the IN
lucky or awkward player in America
are as gentle mur1nurs compared with
the epithets hurled by the occupants
of the gallery at the contestants in the
game of handball in the Fairgrounds
of Madrid, Spain. "Rogue"' Thief"
"Convict!' and Idiot" are some of
the mild terms with which the play
ers are greeted when they miss ball
or send it back in an easy position for
the opponent to pls
The reason for this excitement is
the prevalent betting, in which the
women spectators participate as much
as the men. Professional bookmakers
attend all matches, and their shouts
of the odds for and against the play
ers are mixed with the cries of the
gambling spectators, until the scene
resembles a bedlam.

THIS YOUNG MAN A Conner
Description Will Bring to Mind the
Good Old Copybook Maxms
Some Can Remember. 3

There Is a certain man in our en-
ploy who is not in a very responsible
position at present.
Some day he will be and the gang
will ask: "Where did he get his
pull?"
He's putting pressure on the rope
right now and every day the pressure
is getting stronger.
He's here early and he goes home
late; in fact we do not think he knows
anything about working hours.
He's doing more than his present
position requires and has already
worked out of two jobs that have been
given him. You can't keep him down.
he studies at night, reads, and, best
of all, uses his head at all times.
He makes many mistakes, but only
makes the same mistake once.
But he goes ahead and does things.
Doesn't wait until he's told, but
looks ahead.
Wonderful thing this looking ahead,
and more wonderful still, you don't
have to look very far ahead to make
yourself different from the rest of the
gang"
He smiles easily and is cheerful.
We've never heard him even sug-
gest that any one was "trying to get
him."
He is too busy to think about it
and the crowd who might he irving
to do 1t are not going fast enough to
even bother him.
He isn't hundred per cent yet but
he's coming along fast, and some day
you are going to say "Why did he
get that jobY'-Fore River Log.

Police Unapnreciative Of Arr

One of the best stories English the
atrical men tell about Sir Henry Ir-
wing is of an occasion when he was re-
hearsing for Don Qui1ote at the Ly-
eeum. The one great difficulty was
to find Don Quixote's horse-sufficient-
ly quaint, starved and aged. His man.
ager, Bran Stoker, at last announced
that he had found one in the provinces
an animal whose ribs could b
counted, whose bones stood out like
hat pegs, and which had a head like
q camel. ut is on its way from Eu-
ston now" said Bran Stoker. in an
swer to Irvtng's anxious inquiries.
But the animal never arrived. The
man and beast had got as far as Bow
street when the police stopped them.
The horse was ordered to be shot,
and the man was sentenced to
months Imprisonment for cruelty to
animals.

SIMPLE REASON FOR THRIFT
Its Practice Necessary That There May
Be Margin of Production Over
Consumption.

Is 1t not mere caddishness for one
who can afford to buy and does buy
silk skirts and silk stockings and
automobiles, and who freely admits
that he wastes money, but who justi-
ties himself somewhat belligerently
by saying that he can afford to waste
money, and that it Is nobody's bust
ness, to object to other people doing
the same sort of thing only because
he thinks the other people cannot
afford the expenditures? Right down
in our hearts we know that the con-
Germ is not all with the welfare of
those other people who are wasting
their money; it is really a matter of
Jealousy and of class distinction
based on clothing-a feeling that
these people have committed social
misdemeanors, as when the cook du-
plicated her mistress hat. And any
one who breaches thrift to people on
the ground that they should not have
what they like for their money is
simply preaching nonsensical cant. He
is really preaching revolution.
II, then, thrift has no virtue In It.
self, if every person within the limits
of the law is entitled to spend what
he can earn, and more than he can
earn If he can get away with it, is
there any immoral reason for thrift?
The reason for thrift is plain. 1t
is not necessary to talk about moral
ity. 1t is simply that If we do not
have thrift we shall not nave mar
gin of production over consumption
that is, we shall not have capital If
we do not have capital we cannot have
progress, for we shall have no means
wherewith to make improvement in ex-
listing facilities for production. There
is the danger of extravaganza. And
it Is very real danger.-Samuel Crow
Their, in the North American Review.

Another Discoverer.

In an old Spanish geographical work
on America published in 1852 by Fran
cesco Lopez de Gomera, a priest of
Sevi1la, it is mentioned that Labrador
was reached for the first time by a
party of Norwegian sailors piloted by
John Scelvus or Jon Skolp in 1476.
The announcement was made for the
first time some years ago, but it was
greeted with skepticism that Colum-
bus had been anticipated on the Amer
lean shorts by any but Left Ericsson.
but recently additional evidence has
shown that Columbus visit to this
country was antedated by Scolvus by
20 years and steps are being taken to
urge the formers claims for donors.

Monarchs' Pleasure Ground.

A buried garden has been discov-
cred at Poona, India In excavating the
site of an eighteenth-ceutury palace.
where a public park is to be laid out,
an elaborate ancient garden was dis
covered. One side consists of three
terraces at different levels, with founda-
tons and reservoirs. after the fashion
Of the celebrated Shalimar gardens
of Kashmir and Lahore. The entire
system of fountains and reservoirs IL
connected by well-made pipes and

the plinth an enormous fountain, cir
cular in shape, fashioned after lotus
flower, and having over 200 jets, was
discovered.

Matchmaking Tree.

In Canada and eastern United
States the larch, sturdy tree, which
belongs to the pine family, often grows
50 or 60 feet high and is generally
known as hackmatack, while in the
Central states it is called tamarack.
The European variety is evan taller
and has longer leaves which don beau
tiful autumn tints before falling.
On account of its long, tapering
form, the tree is extremely useful for
masts in sailing vessels, telegraph
poles and variety of purposes, and
as it is common from the Arctic circle
to the United States, 1t is easily found
for the especial use for which it Is
adapted.

GROWING Roses In France.

The French farmers set their bushes

when they have grown, they are
trimmed to about foot in height, ana

After the bush attains the age OF
seven years it does not produce tne

its place. The rose harvest begins
in April, runs through May and June

Water Stored In Form Of Ice.

With the idea Of getting away from

sired in summer time. This would IN

Preserved Husbands Heart.

The heart of John Ballot, lord OF
Barnard castle, who died in 1869, was
embalmed and inclosed in an ivory
casket richly enameled with silver.
His affectionate widow, Devorgilla,
used to have this casket placed on the
table every day when she ate her
meals, and ordered it to be laid on her
own heart when she was herself placed
in the tomb. She was buried, accord
ing to her own direction, near the al
tar In New Abbey, which she herself
had founded in Galloway, and the
casket containing her husbands heart
was placed on her bosom. From this
incident the abbey received the name
Of Dolce Cor, or Sweetheart Abbey.
