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 may remark when a woman chases after A strange case of spirit photography • a street ear or throw’s a ball, or attempts occurred a few days ago in Los Angeles, any unusual gymnastics.

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.— New York Son. 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.— Cor. St. Lonis Globe-Democrat.

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.

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.— Lewiston Journal. JAMES FRICKER & BRO.
