Training a Cook.
An Irish servant is, of all people In
the world, the most anxious to please,
and she even desires to do exactly ua
she is told, even when the commauda
laid on her are unreasonable. In
"The Lighter Side of lrlah Life," Mr.
Q. A. Birmingham gives an amusing
instance of thia trait.
A young housekeeper once under-
took {*> train a cook. One day. It
happened that there were whiting for
dinner. Sho exlalnsd carefully the
proper way of cooking whiting, and,
with a view to achieving elegance In
the serving of the di«h, added that
,theBe particular fish are usually sent
up to table with their tails in their
mouths.
The fish appeared on the dinner
table, not seductively curled after the
pleasant habit of whiting, but lying
rigidly straight on the dish. Knch of
them, however, had its tall cut oft
and neatly inserted Into its mouth.
The inexperienced cook had most
conscientiously obeyed what must
have struck her as a merely vexatious
order—Youth's Companion.
ORIGIN OF SPORTS IN EGYPT
In the Time of Greeks Football Hss
Gained Soma Prominence, Says
Wisconsin Professor.
"Careful investigation would show
that the baseball and football games
as played today are but evolutions of
games played long ago in Egypt,"
said Dr. J C. Elsom, assistant pro-
fessor of physical education in the
University of Wisconsin, in speaking
of the new course on the history of
physical education recently Installed.
"Many tablets found in forgotten
ruins indicate a knowledge of the
game of baseball among the Egyp-
tians. In the time of the Greeks foot-
ball had gained some prominence.
And the Greeks experienced the same
evil which the colleges of today have
to combat, that of professionalism.
Winning became a mania. They would
go to any length to get successful
men. Finally it was necessary to
abolish the Olympic games by royal
edict the conditions became eo bad."
Professor Elsom takes up the his-
tory of ancient sports of ail nations,
the sports of medieval times, and
the sports of today, following with a
discussion of the leaders of sport and
the fathers in the different periods of
history. A great deal of his material
is in picture form and has been trans-
ferred to slides for purposes of illus-
tration. The course is one of the most
unique which has ever been attempted.
Memories of Old Luxembourg.
Luxembourg, whatever its claims to
the protection of Great Britain, pos-
sesses one strange association with
England that dates back 12 centuries.
It is connected with the cult of St.
Wlllibrod, the varlously-epollod Saxon
saint who helped to convert the Ger-
mans to Christianity—very imperfect
ly, as an Oxford don once dryly re-
marked. Every Whit Tuesday the
memory of our En illeh saint 1b hon-
ored at Luxembourg by a procession
and religious dance which rank among
the most curious survivals of medieval
pngeantry. Luxembourg is also a place
which appeals to British naturalists,
for one of the commonest birds in the
public park there is the charming
little black redstart, which is a rare
winter visitor to England—Daily
Chronicle.
Pitcher Bluejacket of Brooklyn Feds.
Bluejacket, the Indian ballplayer,
grabbed by the Feds and claimed by
the Giants, because of a previous con-
tract, is a real Indian, unlike Thorpe
and some others who have a large per-
centage of white blood In their veins.
Bluejacket was born In oklahoma
twenty-four years ago, and his parents
were Shawnee Indians, living on the
Shawnee national reservation, near
the Cherokee reservation.
Bluejacket lived on the reservation
until he was big enough to be sent
away to school, when he went to the
National Cherokee Male seminary,
where he studied four years. Then he
went back to the reservation and be-
gan farming.
But he was a natural athlete, made
branches of sport and drifted Into base-
ball.
Two years ago Bluejacket Jolnetf the
Keokuk, la., team, then pitched for
Pekin, then Bloomington, 111. This
year American and National league
teams went after him. The Giants
claim that they have his signature on
a contract, but this is denied by the
management of the Brookfeds who
signed him up at Just double the Balary
offered by the Giants. The Federals
say that Bloomington sold Bluejacket
to the Giants, but that Bluejacket had
nothing to do with It, and was wise
enough to sign no papers until he fell
In with the generous Federals.
Bluejacket is a big Indian. He is
six feet three inches tall and weighB
s reputation in several different 212 pounds.
RAREST FREAK IN BASEBALL
Her Fesr.
"Why did Maud choose a single
life?"
"She was afraid of getting a hus-
bsnd who would lead a double one."
Natural Explanation.
"People always prefer blonds."
"Now, you couldn't expect brunettes
to have a fair show, could you?"
Louisville and Nashville Teams Use
But Nine Men Each In Game-
One Hit Apiece Made.
Twice this season one of the rarest
possible freaks of baseball has been
recorded: r. box score where one team,
using only nine men, made exactly
one hit, no more, no less, for each
and every member of the nine. Louis-
vllio and Nashville did it. When you
remember that few teams go through
a game with only nine men; that a
team record of nine hits will usually
have two or three for some one fellow,
and none at all for a couple more, es-
pecially the battery artists; when you
consider, too, the way In which a
man's one-hit chance can be removed
by passes or sacrifices, the scarcity
of such games can be appreciated.
Any time a club, with nine men in
line, gets Just one hit, 110 more, no
less, for each of the nine, it's a freak
if there ever was one.
MANY HURLERS TO BE TRIED
Cleveland American League Club Con-
templates 8igning Between
Twenty-Five and Thirty.
Somewhere between twenty-five and
thirty pitchers will be tried out by
the two Cleveland clubs next spring.
The Naps already have the signed con-
tracts of 14 hurlers and this number
may be added to, as it is Charley
Somen' plan to sdopt a system tried
by Detroit and St. Louis—round up a
big bunch of recruit boxmen and thus
grab two or three real pitchers.
Just who Bome of these youngster.i
are the Nap management Is not telling,
despite the fact they have their signa?
tures affixed to the necessary docu.
ments. As there are only seven pitch
ers on the Nap roBter at present,
Somers must have four or five under
cover, as of the other seven, Walkej
and Bagby, of the New Orleans club,
are known to have signed Cleveland
contracts for 1915.
GOOD YEAR FOR JIM VAUGHN
WEAKNESS OF HONUS WAGNER
LEARNING THINGS
We Are All In the Apprentice Class>
When a simple change of diet brings
back health and happiness the story is
briefly told. A lady of Springfield, ill.,
says:
"After being afflicted for years with
nervousness and heart trouble, I re-
ceived a shock four years ago that left
me in such a condition that my lit*
was despaired of.
"I got no relief from doctors nor
from the numberless heart aud nerve
remedies 1 tried, because I didn't know
that coffee was dally putting me back
more than the doctors could put me
ahead.
"Finally at the suggestion of s friend
1 left off coffee aud began the use of
Poatum, and against my expectations I
gradually improved in health until for
the past 6 or 8 months I have been
entirely free from nervousness aud
those terrible sluking, weakening
spells of heart trouble.
"My trouble? all fRme from the
of coffee which I had drunk from
childhood and yet they disappeared
when 1 quit coffee and took up the use
ef Postum." Name given by Postuin
Co.. Battle Creek. Mich.
Many people marvel at the effects of
leaving off coffee and drinking Postum,
but there la nothing marvelous about
It—only common sense.
Coffee is a destroyer—Postum Is a
rebullder. That's the reason.
Look in pkgs. for the famous tittle
hock, "The Road to Wallville."
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum—must be well boll*
•d. 16c and 25c packages.
Instant Postum—is a soluble pow-
der. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly
In a cup of hot water and, with cream
and sugar, makes a delicious beverage
Instantly. 30c and 6Dc tins.
The cost per cup of both kinds is
about the same.
"There's a Reason" for Postum.

Former Twlrler for New York Yen-

With Hank O'Day's Cubs.

Pitcher Jim Vaughn.
out by Frank Chance Vaughn waa
thought to have shot his bolt as a box
artist, but the way he has come back
has made him one of the most talked
of players of the baseball year. Vaughn
has a large number of friends and
they are highly pleaaed at the form he
Is displaying this season.
Pertinent Query.
The New York Sun makes this perti-
nent query: "Suppose the Chlfeds win
the pennant In their league, that the
Cubs don't win their pennant and the
White Sox don't win theirs. Would the
city fall aeries between the Cubs and
White Sox carry with It the title of
city champion T"
Money talks and that's the reason
baseball is so quiet.

Teereau Used Spitball on Big Pirate
Shortstop When He Fanned
With Bases Full.
Tesreau, the Big Bear Hunter from
the Ozarks, Is willing to stake his rep
utation that the weakness of Hans
Wagner is a spitball. Matty has often
said that the only way to have a
chance with the big Dutchman Is to
pitch to him differently every time.
Jeff tried this, and got Honus In the
hole by a straight one and a curve.
The big Dutchman then fouled off a
couple and let one go by for a ball.
With the bases full it was a tight hole
fur Tesreau. and he switched to a spit-
hall that broke beautifully over the
heart of the plate. Wagner's vicious
HAS NO INJURIOUS EFFECT
Strong Denial Thst Preeence of Tuber-
culosis Sanatorluma Is Detriment
to Adjoining Property.
Convincing proof that tuberculosis
sanatorlums or hospitals are not a men-
ace to the health nor a detriment to
the property of those living near such
institutions is given in a pamphlet is-
sued recently by the National Assocla-
tlon for the Study and Prevention of
Tuberculosis. In an extended study
of the subject the association has not
been able to find a single instance
where a tuberculosis sanatorium has
had an injurious effect on the health
of anyone living near it, nor where it
has had any lasting effect upon prop-
erty values.
The pamphlet, entitled, "The Effect
of Tuberculosis Institutions on the
Value and Desirability of Surrounding
Property," reviews all the studies
made on the subject, takes up court
decisions bearing on the question and
contributes besides some original in-
vestigations of typical hospitals and
the opinions of prominent men, life in-
surance companies and others. Nearly
one hundred and fifty different institu-
tions are studied. In all these institu-
tions not one case could be found
where the assertions of opponents to
their location, that a tuberculosis san-
atorium would spread disease and in-
jure property, could be substantiated.
In fact, a number of instances were
found where the presence of the san-
atorium or hospital promoted outdoor
living tending to lower the death
rate, and increased the market for
produce and labor, thereby benefiting
the community.
SKIN TROUBLE ON HANDS
Cassvllle, Mo.—"My hands and feet
were affected with a trouble similar to
ringw^j-m for a number of years. It
first appeared as tiny clear blisters
and In places the blisters were so
close together that they almost formed
oae large blister. The skin was rough
and cracked open. At times it was
so bad that it disabled me; my hande
became bo sore that I could scarcely
use them.
"I used every remedy that I could
find but nothing seemed to do any
good. Finally I sent for a sample of
Cuticura Soap and Ointment and I
then got a cake of Cuticura 8oap and
a box of Cuticura Ointment which
completely rid me of the trouble."

Children at Meal Times.
Never allow children to eat when
they are hot and tired; let them cool
down a little first. For this reason
an interval should always be allowed
between work or playtime and the
meal, and the nurse or governess
must be Instructed to bring the
youngsters home at least twenty min-
utes before the actual meal time and
in a leisurely manner. Hurrying on
the "late for dinner" cry upsets both
temper and digestion. If a child seems
tired when it arrives, sponge its face
and hands and let it lie down for a
few minutes before the' meal. If it
falls asleep don't wake It; rest la
more necessary than food at the mo-
ment and give a light meal later.
Some people could write all they
know on a post card.
It takes a strong-minded woman to
hold her tongue.
