Lyerly was sure of one of the
games, as they had Hurt, to pitch
ooe game and he was said to be
ii.vincible. They chalked the side
walks with the magnetic words,
Hurt will pitch.'’ Everyone who
could raise the money came over to
Menlo to see Hurt perform.
The manager of Lyerly team took
the manager of 'he Menlo club back
of the grandstand for a confidential
talk, lowered his voice to a hoarse
whisper and addressed him thus:
’■Now I have a very strong team

good ball. Os course I realize that
you cannot win, but I don’t want
you to get discouraged but play
foi all there is In you. Put In your
very best pitcher in the first game
for I have a team of sluggers.”
Ho Menlo not having any pitchers
with a great reputation put the third
baseman in to pitch the game. What
do you think of a team that can’t
win a game over a third baseman for

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness and that is ty constitution- |
al remedies. Deafness is caused by '
an imflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound, ot imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed. Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in- j
flamation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condi
tion, hearing will bo destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are .
caused by Catavrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness (caus
ed by Catarrh) that cannot be cured

THE DIAMOND CUTTER.
His Skill Has Much to Do With ths
Brilliancy of the Gem.
When tb» expert looks at a diamond
he can tel; in a moment where it
came from and even whether it was
cut lately or some years ago. He
knows by its color whence it comes,
for the color of the Brazilian diamond
differs from that of the South African,
and even in South Africa different col
ors are found In different mines.
In the rough the diamond has little
brilliancy, for there Is a crust that
must be cut away before it can prop
erly refract the light, and it is this
power of refraction which makes the
brilliancy of a diamond and has ev
erything to do with its value in the
market. The skill of the diamond cut
ter has much to do with bringing out
this brilliancy. He must do the most
he can with the rough stone before
him and lose as little as possible of
the precious weight In the stone.
Diamonds are found in all kinds of
queer shapes, for the carbon may be
In any position while being crystalliz
ed. and the act of crystallization may
affect only parts of that carbon. When
the expert cutter has a rough diamond
before him he Judges almost instantly
how it will cut to the greatest ad
vantage. If it Inclines to the pear
shape he will make a pear shaped dia
mond of It. If it be square or round
the cutting will folow the natural lines
as closely as possible, so that the loss
may be reduced to a minimum.
To make the stone as brilliant as
possible the diamond cutter cuts many
facets so as to refract the light from
as many points as be can. A full cut
brilliant has at least forty-eight facets,
and so expert are the cutters that they
, often cut. diamonds so small that it re-
I quires a hundred to weigh a carat.
Each bus forty-eight facets.—Cleve

SARATOGA’S SPRINGS.
Th* Water Waa First Used by th* In
dians as a “Cur*."
The Saratoga Springs “cure” ante
dated the settlement of this commu
nity by the white man, when the High
Rock spring was only a bubbling
1 sprlnglet, drunk at first by the Indians
as a frosh water spring. Finding that
their health was Improved by the wa
iter, they bethought them that it must
have medicinal qualities, and from
that time all sick Indians were brought
to High Rock spring for the healing
of their Ills. The “outward and visi
ble sign” that Impressed the red men
was the deposit of the salts of the I
water about the spring in the form of,
a cone, called tufa, which still exists
and from which it received Its name
and through and over which the water
bubbles to this day.
In 1800 the Congress spring was dis
covered and became renowned the :
world over as a saline cathartic. This,
combined with the sulphurous iron
water of the Putnam spring, made
Saratoga Springs famous as the lead
ing health resort of the United States, I
The remainder of the thirty-five min
eral springs were discovered from time
to time, and ail have a wide therapeu
tic application In the treatment of al
most all chronic diseases and aro di

their component parts. These groups

AN IMPRACTICAL JOKER. ’
He Thought It Wai Very Funny to
Fire th* Hayrick.
Practical Joking, “the meanest form
of wit,” is common in Hungary. For
merly the pranks used to be coarse,
if not dangerous, but that is changing
now. The only saving grace of the
Magyarlan practical jokes, says W. B.
F. Bovill in “Hungary and the Hun
garians,” is that they are not perpe
trated In a spirit of bitterness.
One of the most famous jokers of the
old school was Jozsa Gyuri. Exiled
In one of the most, inaccessible parts
of the great plain, he lived and died
“a prodigal and a buffoon.”
A story is told of Jozsa going to
spend a night with a Count Keglevich.
Wishing to be impressive, be journey
ed thither in a beautiful new coach, of
which he was very proud. On being
shown over the grounds by the count
his attention was directed to a remark
ably fine hayrick. Hay was then
standing at a good price. After sup
per Jozaa drew together some friends,
and the rick was soon nothing but a
heap of ashes.
The next morning when Jozsa want
ed to continue his Journey his won
derful carriage was not to be seen
anywhere.
“Why, my friend,” said the count,
“you yourself burnt ft last night. The
fact Is my coach house wants repair
ing, and as the evening threatened to
lie wet we put your carriage under
tho rick to keep it dry.”
A MAN OF LUCK.
Th* Story es the Test by the Eastern
King’s Minister.
A king once said to a minister, “Do
you believe in luck?”
“I do,” said the minister.
“Can you prove ft?” asked the king.
“Yes, I can.”
So one night he tied up to the ceil
ing of a room a bag containing peas
mixed with diamonds and let In two
men, one of whom believed In luck
and the other fn human effort alone.
The one who believed In luck quietly
laid himself down on the ground on
bls blanket; the other after a time
found the bag and, feeling in the dark
the peas and stones, ate the peas and
threw the diamonds to his companion,
saying, “There are the stones for your
Idleness ”
The man below received them in his
blanket.
In the morning the king and the
minister came and told each man to
keep what he had found. The man
who believed in trying got the peas
which he had eaten; the other got the
diamonds.
The minister then said, “Sire, there
may, you see, be luck, but it is as rare
as i>eas mixed with diamonds, so let
none hope to live by luck.”—An East
ern Fable.
Teaching Him a Lesson.
The new mall carrier on the rural
free delivery route glanced at the name
on the letter box by the roadside,;
stopped his horse and spoke to the
roughly attired farmer with the old
slouch hat who was resting his sun |
browned arms on the gate and look
ing at him.
“I see,” he said, “your name is
Holmes.”
“Yes.”
“Beverly G.?”
“Yes, I'm the man that lives here.”
“Any relation of Sherlock Holmes?”
gravely asked the carrier.
“No, sir,” answered the farmer, “but
I'm detective enough to know that
you’re not a very good judge of human
nature. You took me for an ignoramus
because I’ve got my old working duds
on. I'm Sherlock Holmes enough to
look at a man’s face and eyes before
I size him up as a— Some mail for

Investment and Speculation.
When any one is buying a coat or a
fishing rod or a rose tree or laying
down a cellar or setting up a library,
either he knows what he wants, where
to get it and what to pay for It or
else he takes earnest counsel with his
friends and with the most trustworthy
professional advisers that he can find
and uses all the wits that he and oth
ers can bring to bear on the subject In
order to make sure that his purchase
Is prudently conducted. He attends
sales, rummages In shops and dis
cusses the matter in his club until he
and it are voted a nuisance. If only
half as much time and trouble were
devoted to the careful selection of in
vestments there would be fewer bad
companies, unscrupulous promoters
and ornamental directors, the world
would be very much richer, and its
riches wcflild show less tendency to
gravitate into questionable hands.—
Cornhill Magazine.
Th* Good Time.
Frequently you hear a rich man
abused because he stays on the job
that made him rich instead of spend
ing his time gadding about the earth
in search of a good time. But it is
hardly fair to assume that avarice and
greed prbmpt such action <r even that
it is a lack of faith in humanity. Very
likely the work done represents the
good time for the man who stays at
it after all need of work has passed,
for it is certain that there are many
ideas of what constitutes happiness,
•nd the man who selects loafing is apt
to change his mind in time if he tries
it Doing nothing is harder than work,
and if a man has spent many years at
work, learning little of play, work
brings him more enjoyment than the
butterfly existence. —Atchison Globe.

He Knew What They Would Do.
Sir Charles Locock. who was the
physician attending Queen Victoria at
a certain period of her reign, was once
commanded by her majesty to pro
ceed to Berlin and report on the con
dition of iter daughter, the crown prin
cess. On the return trip, stopping at
Dover for a hasty luncheon, he was
enabled to snatch a glass of poor
sherry and a piece of questionable
pork pie.
After the train had pulled out and
Sir Charles had been locked in his com
partment be began to feel drowsy and
to rear that faintness was overtaking
him. Immediately be thought to him
self:
“They will find me hi a faint on the
floor and bleed me for a fit, and I
need all my blood to digest this pork
pie.”
Thereupon he hurriedly drew out his
pencil, wrote on a piece of paper and
stuck it in the band of his hat. Then
he resigned himself to tbe deep sleep
tnat came upon him. He did not wake
until the train had pulled into the
London station, and, still dazed by his
slumber, he jumped into a carriage
and was driven home.
The grins of the servants and the
exclamation of his wife were followed
by the inquiry from one of the chil
dren, “Oh, papa, what have you got
in your hat?”
Then he remembered bis experience
on the train. Taking off his hat. he
removed tbe large white paper on
which be had scribbled this petition
to tbe general public:
“Don’t bleed me. it’s only a fit of
indigestion from eating some con
founded pork pie!”

There is many a rocky hillside
that would be far more prof
itable in timber than under attempt
ed cultivation. It is a great mis
take to cut the timber off such places
i xcept as the trees grow large enough
to work up into lumbed, and then
good care should be taken not to in
jure the younger trees. There is
nothing of which our people have
been more wasteful than their for
ests and they are beginning to pay
a heavy penalty for it. This penal
ty will grow more burdensome with
each passing year unless something
is done to remedy the wasteful work
of the past. Trees are things of val
ue. Don’t destroy them needlessly
nor heedlessly. And don’t forget
that a wooded hillside is especially
desirable. —Ex.

On one occasion a highland minister
called upon Dr. Alexander Whyte of
Edinburgh for some financial assist
ance for the work in the north. Dr.
I Whyte regretted that he could not af
’ ford to assist the highlander, but ad
vised him to visit a wealthy layman
in the city.
Going to the house of tbe wealthy
layman, the highlander found him dis
inclined to give and ungracious in man
ner. Nettled at his reception, the high
lander answered brusquely. Resent
ing the tone, the rich man asked. “And !
whom do you take me for?”
“A fire deserving sinner, like my- j
self.” came the quick retort.
Returning to Dr. Whyte, he explain
ed the circumstances.
“You did not say that?” eagerly
asked the doctor.
“Aye, I did.” replied the other.
“Well, well! I’ve been wanting to
say that to him for the last fifteen
years! Here's a five pound note for

The Cat and the Owl.
“Metaphysics,” said a clergyman, “is
a subject that always makes one think
of the cat and the owl.
“A cat, you know, once set forth in
quest of happiness. She wandered up,
she wandered down. She questioned
this animal and she questioned that.
Finally, wrapped in meditation in a
tree, she perceived an owl.
“ ‘Owl,’ said the cat, ‘tell me. most
wise bird, where happiness is to be
found!’
“ ‘ln meditation,’ the owl replied.
‘Meditation alone is the true secret of
happiness.’
“ ’But.’ said the cat, ‘on what sub
ject am I to meditate?’
“ ‘On the subject,’ the owl answered,
‘which has occupied the race of owls
since the beginning of time—namely,
which came first, the owl or the egg,
for, while the owl comes from the egg,
so also does the egg come from the
owl!’ ”
