Not Ions n S° it waa the. good fortune
of the writer to attend a baseball match
between two nines composed of amateur
players who years ago were famous at
the bat, in tho field and on the bases.
As the men walked out upon the field in
the uniforms that for years they had not
worn certain i»eculiarities common to all
of them attracted my attention. Tho
gait was inclined to be mincing, the
waist line was under ilie armpits and not
over Ihe hips, the head fell forward and
the shoulders were a little bowed and
the buck slightly humped; the forearms
were thin ami white and the calves of
the legs had disappeared. The throwing
uml catching and running reminded me
strongly of some of.n r animal.
For several innings I watched these
gentlemen, and as a ball was knocked at
the short stop, and us he put out his
hands timidly and then threw to first
base a gently dropping ball instead of on
a straight line, the whole thing revealed
itself to me. They looked and acted like
women!
There was the same physical timidity,
the same stiltlike running, tho same
awkwardness in any feat that demanded
that the hands and arms l>o used over
the head, the sumo care of legs and anus,
as though they were brittle, which oue

making these differences of physique !>e
tween them. If us a man ceases to ex
ercise he become* in his movements more
and more feminine, it is plain tliut if he
exercised in his lioyhood and youth no
more than tho average girl he would
grow up to lie more like her in physique.
And again, if exercise is so largely re
sponsible for tho difference it must ho
true that the girl could be brought up,
if not to the masculine standard, at any
rate to a inncli higher standard of physi
cal well being.—Boston Gazette.
A Solution of the Servant {jnrKtion.
The servant girl question was under
lebate in a coterie of ladies np town, nnd
bitter words were spoken by some of the
housekeepers when telling of their trou
bles with housemaids, scullery maids,
nursery maids, chambermaids and kitch
en maids. The strain of bitterness was
interrupted by one of the ludies, who
said:
“I never hove any trouble with my do
mestic help. 1 keep a housemaid and n
cook, who liuvo been with mo for five
years, and I do not know that they are
extraordinary specimens, though X got
them through an advertisement. One of
them is an Irisli-Ainericun, the other a
German. They Bay that I treat them
well. I do not overwork them or keep
them at service from dawn till midnight
I don’t scold them for every fault. I
have a nice bedroom for them, and they
keep it neat.
“1 let them go off in the daytime once
or twice every week to take a walk, or
to visit their friends or to do their shop
ping. I talk to them at times about
their gowns, bonnets, shawls and ruffles.
I see that they have something else than
scraps or leavings to eat I pay them
their wages on the first of every month.
I help them to do things now and then.
They give me their confidence. I show
them that I take an interest (n them,
and my husband is considerate toward
them. I don’t believe they will ever
leave oar household till they get mar
ried, and my cook is a widow who says
she will never marry again. I cannot
aee why so many people should have so
much trouble with their domestic help,
or talk so often abont the servant girl
question." The ladies in the coterie to
which this contented housekeeper thus
spoke did not foel very well when her
words were ended, and soon left for
their respective abodes with a new
notion under their blooming bonnets.—

Duma,* Young,,! Daughter.
I lately met at a reception a French
gentleman who is well acquainted with
the Dumas family, and he gave ms an
amusing account of Mile. Jeannine, now
the Comteme d’Hauterive. As a girl she
was always wild and jolly and head
over heels, possessing, much of her fa
ther’s wit, and talking along without
end—in a word, thoroughly “Bn da
siecle.” She mortally affronted one day
an antiquated bean and member of the
Jockejr dab, who still prided himself on
his personal charms and prowess as a
lady killer. This personage called one
day npon Mme. Dumas and requested to
aee her daughter.
A servant was accordingly sent to
gnnunon mademoiselle. Then earns a
voice from the staircase announcing in
audible tones: “I shall not come. When
I want to study antiquities I will goto
the Louvre.” And the old gentleman
never forgave her. At her own wed
ding the other day during the reception
that followed the ceremony her bride
groom nuticed that she was looking at
him with a peculiarly pensive expree
don. "Why do yon look so sad!” he said
to berin a whisper. “Are yon not hap
py. Jeannine:*' “I was only thinking,"
she -responded, "of the good friend that
I. loet in yon when yon became my hus
band.^"—Cor. Philadelphia Telegraph
The Physical Culture Bobby.
Just now tiie fearless materialist and
occult convert is riding the physical
culture bobby horse. She has acquainted
herself with all the systems on the con
tinent and favors the Swedish above all
others. Early in the suminhr a party of
London school teachers went to Stock
holm to study the coarse.- They were
Mrs. Matthews, Miss Hewitt, Mias Ely
and Mias Klngspm. Now they are in-
trododag the Swedish system in the
publio school, and throagh tile influence
of Annie Beaant the board: hat allowed
them the sum of $50 each toward the
traveling expenses incurred:—London
event, and it is made all the stronger by
the fact that both she uud the photog
rapher are skeptics of spiritualism. She
took her position in the gallery, and the
photographer threw his cloth over his
head to arrange the focus, when, with
an exclamation of fright, his head bobbed
suddenly*out from beneath its covering
and he stared nt the lady.
* “Did any one pass behind you just
then?"
“Why, certainly not." she answered.
He then took the picture nnd went
Into the dark room with it. He came
bounding out in a few moments, and
with a white faco nnd strange manner
said she must sit again. She complied,
and again when he proceeded to adjust
the lenses he coaid not restrain his ter
ror. His face l>ecame headed with a
cold perspiration, hi* hands trembled so
that he could hardly proceed with the
work. Five times did he take the lady’s
picture, refusing to give her any expla
nation of hi* strange behavior.
At last he told her she would have to
go to some other place—he could not
take her picture satisfactorily. Then
she insisted on nn explanation. He re
fused for a long time, bnt at last he
brought her five plates from the dark
room. In each of them by her side,
dressed in grave clothes, with out
stretched ann and beckoning finger,
stood the fignre of a person who had
been very dear to her, bnt who had re
cently died. Tho lady nearly fainted
and denounced the thing oa a trick, but
was soon convinced if there was fraud
the photographer did not know it. The
photographer developed tho plates, and
the portraits of the living and the dead
are exact and startling.
The lady is not superstitions, but the
Inexplicable affair has wont on her
nerves so as to render her seriously ill.—

The Growth of Artistic Taste.
As artistic taste in home decoration
gains ground the craze for novelty in
form abates, and people no longer pine
to transform innocent domestic ntensils
into painted and beribboned mural
adornments. Dust pans and coal shovels
are noble in their way, and thine with
the beanty of fitness in the kitchen,
where theirmanifest destiny finds fulfill
ment, bnt let ns see them no inure mask
ing as photograph holders on the porlot
wall. The decoration by needle or brush
now most cared for it less florid than
quiet, and is used no longer npon mean
ingless things, bnt is applied to article!
of real nee in a house.
It takes fine taste to decide on the
choioe of the pretty bits of daintily em
bellished textile* that are now provided
for the breakfast, dinner and tea table,
but it is safe for a housekeeper not over
confident in her own judgment to con
fine her selection to things that are capa
ble of being laundered. For high days
And holiday# diaphanous lace and shad*
owy bolting cloth, and softly glimmer
ing satin table oenten, and plate mats
with artistically painted flowers glow
ing upon their surfaces are elements of
beauty, aud add luster to a stately set
ting forth of glass and silver; but at tbs
serving of human nature’s daily food
linen, damask and like materials, with
pretty needle wrought patterns in wash
silks or linen, are by for the best and
moat pleasing.—Mrs. M. C. Hvingerford.

Muiuc In Favor of tho Women.
The vote of the Methodists of Maine on
tfce question of admitting women dele
gatee to the general conference seems to
be all one way, or rather in the condition
where the few exceptions prove the rule
by showing that both sides are voting.
Rnmford Center is the last one to report,
its vote being 13 for aud 1 against the
motion. The vote of the ten Maine
churches now on record is 309 for, 11
against, the admission of the women.—
