TRYING IT ON" HAMMOND. One of the attractions at the Grand theater this week is a comedy baseball sketch, in which Henry Melehior and Edna Milton are the principals. Henry Melehior is a veteran of the baseball diamond, and made a splendid showing under Frank Selee this yea. on the Pueblo, Col., team, finishing tht season with a batting average of .349 If Melehior is a baseball player of ex perience he is something of a novince as an actor, this being his first cxperi ence on the stage. Nevertheless, he and Miss Milton at said to have their little sketch well ii hand, and the crowd will be left to judge as to the versatility of the Colo rado ball player. BATTLESHIP SHOOTING. In addition to the speed of the shii there is the roll always to be account ed for. Every man who has fired i naval gun knows that the time t squeeze the electric bulb is when th ship rests for a fleeting instant a the top of her upward roll. At tha precious instant the gunner must hav his sights set for the right elevatioi his range and windage allowed for an his gun pointed at right angle. H has to discount the interval whicl must elapse between his utterance o the direction to the trainer and tha: personage's execution of his demand All the time the ship is rushing for ward through the water at the rat. of twelve knots. The target is slip ping away toward the stern. The an gle of train is continually changing and the muzzle, rocked by a restles sea, is describing a circle around th mark. The gunner must send the shell 01 its errand at just the right instant It is a vastly different business frot long range shooting on a rifle rangi The finest training for this variety o marksmanship is shooting at birds o the wing. Wing shooting is a quicke and lighter form of marksmanship. New York Sun. TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY. 3i-6C0I 'laaais hojjbo 2Z "ilJO.wosnoq ljeueS joj nS SunoX v CIIIXXV.V. A N N OUXCUME N T.

Terms to suit. Take South Hohniai. street cur, come and see how GOOD pianos are made... 10-26-lwk - . Kinds of "West. The numerous kinds of west of which the effete east solemnly discourses are enough to bewilder a Philadelphia lawyer. It will assure you that besides "the middle west," a phrase it employs continually and with evident pleasure, there are an eastern west, a western west, a northern west and a southern west! Yet there is only one east, and hardly enough of that to swear by. The Californian. Advocate Mice in Cool Mines. Some authorities on mining say that white mice ought to be kept in all coal mines, so that the little animal3 can b used to test the condition of the air. It is known that they are much more sensitive than men to atmospheric impurities of the kind which cause dead ly accidents in mines, and it is argued that whenever or wherever a whitt mouse becomes incapable of motion be cause of air poison it should be taker as proof that miners must seek safety. Origin of Fireworks. Fireworks originated in the thir teenth century, along with the evo lution of powder and cannon. They were first employed by the Florentines, and later the use of fireworks became popular in Rome at the ere ation of the popes. The first fireworks which resemble those which we see nowadays were manufactured by Torre, an Italian artist, and displayed in Paris In 1764. Many Die for Love. An American statistician who has been Investigating the matter says that while single women are more likely to commit suicide than are mar ried women, among men who take j their own lives the Benedicts are in j the majority. And though it is so j often asserted that real love is grow- : ing rare nowadays, this statistician declares that love is still the cause of all causes of suicide in both sexes. i Suffered for Vanity's Saks. When a woman was missing some time ago her relatives published a detailed description of her. It contained this sentence: "Small toe of each foot missing." As it was very unlikely i that both toes had been amputated by accident, some one asked the woman's mother to account for the lost toes. After a gallant effort to evade the question the old lady reluctantly confessed that her daughter had had the toes severed to enable her to wear very snail shoes. Peculiar Fact About Ocean.

Costly and Uncomfortable. Perhaps the costliest thimble in

England is the property of a lady with whom the late 6hah of Persia once took tea. He was her guest but for a half hour, and the present of a thimble incrusted with jewels of the finest water was surely a right royal acknowledgment. It is, however, she declares, the most uncomfortable thimble she ever tried to wear. Frou Her Viewpoint. It is all very well for pinchback hus bands and haberdasher economists to deliver homilies on luxury and finery and the evils of extravagance lace, chiffons, rubbons. tuckers, and frills are as indispensable to the wellbeing of womankind as walkingsticks. watches, footballs and whiskies are to the comfort and welfare of serious man. London Observer. Useless British Territory. No other empire in the world owns so much absolutely useless territory as the British. Banks Land, Prince Albert Land, Victoria and Baffin Land, with hundreds of other arc tic Islands and lands, are at present quite useless. One of Woman's Wiles. What a woman likes is to get in an argument with her husband so he can prove she is wrong, so she can cry, so he will have to give her a nice present to make it up to her. N. Y. Press.

Few Promoters of Industries. It is an odd fact that South Africa owes three of her greatest industries to Jews.

" Peculiar Ocean Fish. The pyromosa has just recently been discovered. It was found off Avalan bay. It is about a foot long, with an opening at the end. It emits a faint glow until touched or frightened, whereupon it blazes out in a viivd glare of green light. Everything Adulterated. City Girl (who has been to the country) Don't you know, I think the farmers put preservatives in their products. I saw one scattering some chemical mixture on ground he was preparing for green corn. Later I saw him salting his cattle. I don't think we get any pure food anywhere nowadays.

In this article the author, whose name for obvious reasons we are not at liberty to disclose, drops for once the mask which she in common with other "Bachelor Maids," is accustomed to turn to the world. Though no longer young, she frankly says she longs for the companionship of a husband and the care of children. The circumstances which have kept from her the happiness which these blessings bring are stated with the same directness which characterizes the whole article. It is the life-story of a "successful" woman, a drama of real life in which the last act is a tragedy. This article appears in our new magazine
