It Would Improve It.' A clergyman speaking on charity held that charity which was not graceful and clean was bound to fail, bringing to the donor scorn instead of gratitude. “Thus,” he once said in a Sunday school address, “a rich landlord while making the round of his tenants’ cottages collecting rents met a little girl whose beauty much impressed him. “In the shabby front room of the cottage the landlord talked for awhile with the little girl, and as he rose to go an unwouted feeling of kindliness warmed his heart “ ‘Let me see,’ he said, fishing In his pockets—‘let me see if I haven’t something to give to this dear little girl.’ “And, smiling and chuckling, he went through pocket after pocket Finally in his hip pocket he found a peppermint drop, a white peppermint drop. He dusted the fluff and Unt from It and extended it gayly to the little girt " ‘Here we are,’ he cried. ‘I thought we had something. Here Is a nice peppermint drop for you. And now,' he ended, ‘what will you do with It?* “‘Wash it,’ said the little girl grave«r" Beginnings of Baseball. The history of the American game dates from the first National Association of Baseball In New Tork In 1858. The first series of Important match games was played between picked nines of Brooklyn and New Tork, at Flushing, In the same year. Nearly 2,000 persons—a large crowd for those days—paid their 50 cents a head to see the contest. The rules of baseball were A very crude in those days. The pitcher’s I position was simply limited to a twelve | foot line forty-five feet from the home base, behind which he could take any number of slips he wished. All he was req iLed to do was to pitch the ball as near as possible over the home base. There was no penalty for wild pitching or for refusing to strike at fair balls. 1 once saw a pitcher deliver sixty balls to a single batsman In one inning before there was a strike. Not until 1870 were there any paraphernalia for defense. Old time catchers’ hands were a sight with their cracked joints and bruised palms.— Harry Chadwick In Outing. French Bull*. The number of phrases of the class called “bulls” to be found In polite works are not all the product of the Irish brain. A novel that was crowned by the French academy as possessed of unusual meric contained a sentence of .which the following Is a translation: “It was midnight. A man who lay In ambush listened to their conversation, but suddenly a dense, dark cloud passed in front of the moon and prevented him from hearing more.” Another phrase, written In downright seriousness by a master of French criticism, runs something like Oils: “It was one of those duels in which one of the blades literally buries Itself to the heart of the other.”—Minneapolis Journal. Their Littls Surprii*. 1 They were elopers, and the stern parent was supposed to be In pursuit But be wasn’t On the contrary, a telegram awaited them at the next town. “Is It forgiveness?" asked the agitated youth as be handed it to the angelic one. She read It through and burst Into tears. Then the startled youth took It and read It aloud, “’ our mother and I offer congratulations. Tour hasty action meets with our approval We can now carry out a plan that we have long contemplated and that was delayed only because we had you with us. in other words, we are about to break up housekeeping and go Into a flat!”—Argonaut Helpless! ▲ city man had a friend In from a north country farm on a business matter the other day, and they lunched together at a restaurant The Cork man ate his meal entirely with bis knife. When be was near the end he discovered that he had no fork. “Look here,” he eaid to the city man, “that waiter didn’t give me a fork.” “Well, you don’t need one,” replied the city man seriously. “The deuce t don't!*’ came from the farmer. “Went am I going to stir my ! osffse with?”—London Opinion. I. - • A Qrsosful Withdrawal. I “Do you know who that old man Is talking to our hostess?” asked Mrs. Blunderer of the lady sitting beside “That,” answered the woman cold|g, “Is my eoc.” j “Ota," gasped Mrs. Blunderer In confusion. “he’s a good deal older than yea are, is he not?"—UppincotFa.

Every throb of pleasure costa something to the physical system, and two throbs cost twice as much as one. If we cannot fix a precise equivalent It is not because the relation Is not deflnlte, but from the difficulties of reducing degrees of pleasure to a recognised standard. Os this, however, there can I be no reasonable doubt—namely, that a I large amount of pleasure supposes S i correspondingly large expenditure of blood and nerve tissue, to the stinting, perhaps, of the active energise and fits Intellectual processes. It Is a matter of practical moment to ascertain whet pleasures cost least tor there are thrifty and unthrifty modes o t spending our brain and heart’s Mood. One of the safest of delights, if not very acuta is the delight of abounding physical vigor, for. from the very supposition, the supply to tbs brain In net such as to Interfere with the general interests of the system.—Alexander Bain. Love For the Beautiful. Let us learn to love and appreciate the beauty which we see around us every day. There are beautiful things everywhere. Some of us see them; some do not. It all depends on our education. A beautiful flower may grow by the wayside. One person may pass It by and not even see it, or be may trample It under foot and call it an ugly weed. Another may see the same flower and as he looks upon it marvel at Its beauty and recognize the handiwork of God. One of these persons has no love for the beautiful In his soul—and the other has—that Is the difference. Some people will teU you that It is not practical to care for beautiful things, but it really Is practical, because it helps to make life sweeter and better. You wUI find it well worth cultivating, this love for the beautiful, and When you once have It In your hearts never be willing to. part witlSHF’" 11 ' 11 Tal-
