Tho Mjrateriou* Spit Hall.
Pitcher Jack Che.sb:\> of the New
Vork Americans has created a great
nensatiou with his spit hall, and scores
>f twirlers are endeavoring to solve its
.Hysterics.
Cheshro describes the method of
browing the hall as follows:
“The principles of the spit hall, by
rhe way, may be well illustrated by the
old trick of throwing a child's hoop
with a reverse twitch, so that after it
ias run along the floor with a certain
amount of speed it suddenly stops and
rolls back again. The spit, ball Is pitch
ed so. that after it has gone a certain
llstnnee at great speed the reverse
'English,' so to speak, makes it ‘break’
>r drop away so quickly that it Is al
most impossible for a batsman to hit It
squarely.

posely hit a foot under where the ball

seemed to be about to pass over (lie
plate and knocked it against the eenror
Belli for a homer.
“But that was luck, don't you know.
The spit ball Is thrown after wetting
the fore and middle lingers with saliva,
so that they do not retard the sphere.
A twist is applied by the thumb. This
wetting the Angers before pitching Is
going to revolutionize box work. I'll
venture to predict that more curves,
drops anil shoots will be invented In
the next live years than anybody liar
an idea of. I have been experimenting
a great deal myself and have already
Uncovered several deliveries that If
mastered will put the original spit bidl
in the shade. But I'll not try any of
them until I get control. At Harvard
several young men tried to catch the
spit ball, with its variations. One had
a thumb broken, while another hud an
egg shaped lump raised on his shin
bone that made him limp for a week."
Ttie nrltl-Wlilte Fight.
Jimmy Britt and Jabez White, the
English lightweight champion, met re
cently in Frisco and signed articles
completing arrangements for the inter
national match for the championship
of the world.
According to the artieles, the men
have agreed to tight twenty rounds be
fore Jim Colfroth’s Athletic club, where
all of the big championship matches
have born divided.
The weight agreed upon was 133
pounds at 3 o’clock on the day of the
battle. The lighters lost little time in
coming to terms. White was represent
ed by Charley Mitchell, while Jimmy
Brilt and his brother Willie did the
talking for the other side.
White has engaged training quarters
at Mike Sheehan’s Boulevard cauip

PEOPLE OF THE DAY
The New IttiNAlnn Commnnder,
General Llnevitch, who is now chief
in command of the Russian land and
sea forces in the far east, has already
passed his sixty-fifth birthday. lie is
therefore huif a decade tejond lir
Osier’s dead line. lie has seen extend
ed service, having been in the army
dnee he was twenty-one. He took an
active part In the Russo-Turlrish war
of 1877-78 and since then has served in
all of Russia’s Asiatic campaigns.
General Llnevitch was also promi
nent in the relief of the legations at
GENERAL L INKY ITCH.
Foiling, succeeding Admiral Alexeleff
In command of the Russian troops In
August, 1900, and was congratulated
by Emperor Nicholas for his services.
For a time in 1904 General Llnevitch
was governor general of the Amur
territory, but later assumed command
of the Russian forces at Vladivostok
under Alexeleff and Is understood to
have placed that fortress in a state to
resist a siege.
During the Manchurian campaign
he has been in charge of divisions in
the field, and is said to be one of the
few Russian commanders who possess
the absolute confidence of his troops.
Measured by the usual army retiring
age standards, General Llnevitch Ls
well along in years to conduct such an
active campaign as the Russians would
have to wage in the far east to stem
the title of Japanese advance. Still,
there have been other commanders
who have made military reputations
aft*w they passed the threescore mark.
General Llnevitch, like the earlier Rus
sian commanders, will probably find
that campaigning against the Japs
shatter:; rather than builds up military
reputations.
Ancient Vermont Custom.
Senator Bailey recalled a little ancient
history of Vermont the other day that
moved Senator Proctor to a correction.
“When the lawfully constituted au
thorities of New York state sought to
enforce the judgment of her courts In
what now constitutes Vermont,” said
Mr. Bailey, “they used to meet these
officers of the law, bouuden to be free,
and lay tHo lashes on their bare backs.
They used to call that administering
the ‘beech tree seal’ to titles In the state
of Vermont.”
“I wish to set the senator right,” in
terposed Mr. Proctor. “It was called
administering a ‘beech seal' they left
out the word ‘tree’—with the twigs of
the wilderness.”
“I am surprised,” retorted Mr. Bailey,
“that Vermont loft out anything that
was to be added on that or any other
occasion.”- -Washington Post.
News and Notes.
Cement posts for 'farm fencing
where timber is scarce seem to be at
trading attention.
Official crop reports from St. Peters
burg show the winter wheat crop in
European Russia to be good and the
crop of winter rye below the aver
age.
"Nursing dairy calves” is a new bus
lness noted by Rural New Yorker. Dai
rymen who retail milk in large towns
cannot afford to raise calves. Th(
milk is worth more to sell. After a
few days they send the little creatures
to some farmer who has a hand separa
tor and sells cream. He raises them
on warm .skim milk and grain and
sends them back as yearlings.
An encouraging fact in forest man
agement is the growing determination
of large timber land owners to handle
their holdings less wastefully and tc
protect the forests with the view to a
continuous yield of timber.
An area of 31,093.000 acres seeded
to winter wheat is Orange Judd Farm
er’s estimate, an Increase over the
area harvested last year of 2,600,000
acres, but a decrease of about 1.000,-
000 acres as compared with the acr»
age actually seeded in the fall <
1303.
Profit In Small Flock*.
It Is nothing unusual to note, says an
old poultry raiser, that from twenty
five to thirty fowls in a place can be
made profitable when twice that num
ber cannot be. This speaks well for
separating flocks and segregating them.
It is far better to have two or even
j three flocks with not to exceed thirty
in a flock than all in one. There are
many places where this eau be done
without lunch expense.
Carbolic Snlve.
Every farmer ought to have carbolic
salve ready for use in the burn at ail
times. It’s an excellent remedy for
bruises, cracks in the udder and abra
sions of ail kinds. A very excellent
substitute is made by putting n few
drops of carbolic acid into molted tal
low. allowing the mixture to cool and
become hard.
AN ANTITOXIN FOR FATIGUE.
Should the development of the
study of toxins and antitoxins ren
der possible the production of an
antibody capable of neutralizing the
results of muscular fatigue the con
sequences could hardly be predicted.
Yet a German investigator seriously
claims to have taken more than one
6tep in this direction already and
publishes results that are at least
surprising.
Weichardt (Munchener Medizini
sche Wochenschrift, Nov. 29, 1904)
says lie has obtained a stable anti
toxin which when taken by the
mouth in moderate doses permits
the output of an increased amount
of muscular energy without fatigue
and when taken continuously causes
a sense of general bien eire and aug
ments the capacity for work. He
commends his preparation to clini
cians as a promising analeptic for
convalescents, neurasthenics, etc.
This fatigue antitoxin is obtained
from horses by injecting them with
fatigue toxin produced in the mus
cles of animals that have been sub
jected to extreme muscular exhaus
tion.—iledical Record.

/YM AN DA’S CAKI
“Cake, dear?” said Amanla, wLh
veiled eagerness which aroused my su
pic-ions, and her band shook as she 1
boriously hacked out for me a ge:
erous slice. Also the cake had, to m
mind, an unusual appearance. It wi
flatter than most cakes, with a curlot
depression in the middle. Its con
plexlon was brunette—almost a negi
—though It did its best to hide the fai
under a heavy powdering of sugar.
"I—l hope it is nice,” said Amanda.
“I haven't tasted It yet,” I answere
cautiously, and I bit a piece out of m
slice and laid the rest of It liastil
down. My suspicions took a definit
and terrible form. I had no 1 a
all for supposing that my

“ Amanda,” said I sternly, "what i
this?”
“It is a cake that I have made my
self!” said Amanda, flushed and beam
ing. I gasped and was silent. “I sav

blithely, “that homemade cakes ar
much better and much cheaper thai
bought cakes, so I thought I would try
It is quite easy. I shall always rnakt
them at home now!”
“It is a little—gritty,” said I, huntinj
for the least offensive word.
“Oh. that is entirely my fault, then!’
Amanda assured mo cheerfully
“Home Chirps did say that the cur
rants should bo washed, but It hardly
seemed worth while. I can do it an
other time, though.”
“I appreciate your kind thought Im
mensely, darling,” said I, “but”—
“But not my cake?” cried Amanda,
on the brink of tears.
“I suppose the fact is that I have got
used to shop cakes,” I said desperately.
“But I shall be able to make them
better than any shop—with a little
practice,” Amanda persisted. “Why,
shouldn’t I? It’s only just eggs and'
sugar and butter. Why sliouldu’t I be
able to mix them just as well as a,
cook In a shop?”
I held my tongue and stared at the'
depression in the middle of the cake.
“The fact is you don’t think I am
clever enough to make a cake!” cried
Amanda. And so she swept out of the
room.
Seized with a sudden Inspiration, 1
glanced hurriedly at the clock and
snatched up my hat. It was still early
I had a clear two hours before dinner.
I went to Mine. Fleurette’s establish
ment for the first time and, I fervently
hope, the last. To a mere man not
conspicuously brave it Is a plate of
terror. My dreams will be haunted to
my dying day by the demeanor of the
Imposing personage who demanded my
pleasure at the door and the icy man
ners and French accent of the young
damsel to whose tender mercies 1 was
finally handed over. She seemed to have
a difficulty in understanding what I
wanted or In believing iu my sanity
when she did understand. She persist
ed in trying to convince me that 1
wanted the finished production and not
the raw material; she seemed
even offended to find that I
own miud and meant to have wMat 1
asked for. Finally she gave iu and
supplied me with my demands In a
huge pasteboard box at an appalling
price. Worn out, but triumphant, I
drove home In a hansom, stole into the
house unseen of Amanda and locked
mvself iu iav den.
