THE PITCHER'S BOX.
In Baseball'* Early Day* It Wai Just
a Line Twelve Feat Long.
Up to 1857. or for eighteen years
j after the tlrst game of baseball was
I played, there was uo limit to the num
j ber of Inulnga, the tlrst side scoring
: twenty-one runs, or "aces," as they
| were then called, being the winner. In
i 1857, however, the game was divided
Into nine Innings. The pitcher had a
! line twelve feet long, kept behind U
and could take a short run before his
delivery. Just the same as is permitted
In cricket today.
In ISiKi the old "line" for the pitcher
to stand behiud was done away with
and the twlrler limited to a "box"
twelve feet long and four feet wide,
but In this area be could roam at will
and throw from whatever spot he
pleased. A few years later the "box"
was made six feet square, and In 1878
It was again reduced to four feet wide
and six feet long. Ten years later It
was made a foot longer and a foot
wider and In 1SS7 cut down In length
to five and one-half feet
These "boxes" being always a source
of much change and discussion, they
were finally abolished altogether and
a rubber slab 12 by 4 Inches took their
place, the pitcher being required to
keep his hack foot against the slab
This slab was enlurged to two feet by
six Inches In 181)5 and has remained
the same since.— I'hlladelphia Bulletin
GROW. BUT DON'T SWELL
Sava Exertion of Boasting and Uaa It
In Doing Your Taska.
It Is well for you to have confidence
In your ability, but when It reaches the
stage of • swell bemledneas" your value
to yourself or to uuy oue else begins to
dwindle
"Some men prow with responsibility;
others merely swell." The man who
swells haa ceased to prow.
He has reached a place where he
thinks he has all the knowledge he
ueeds. and uaturally all growth is re
tarded.

way—to prove one's capability 1* by

The fellow who Is continually brag

It Is the mnn who does things In a
qnlck, intelligent manner who wins.
Bach a man will be found at the top
because he deserves to be there.
All concerns want him, because he
not only accomplishes much as the re
sult of bis concentrated endeavor, but
his Influence is good on the other em
ployees
Save the exertion it takes to tell what
you can do and use It In performing
your tasks. In this way you will get
so much consideration eventually that
you will not be tempted to brag
The other fellow will do It for you.—

In "William Harrison Ainaworth and

tells a quaint story of Ainswortb and
his friend Johu Forster Ainswortb
had discovered a Une set of Hogarth's
engravings which was held at £5. a
sum which, be said. "1 could uot lust
then spare or at least did not think i
ought to spare. I took Johu Forster
down to see tne Hogarths. whereupon
be actually said that he would and
must buve them himself and as be bad
uot £5 of loose money at that moment
I should lend that sum to him. I
pointed out the absurdity of the posi
tion—that 1 wanted the engravings for
myself and could not afford to lay oat
the money; bow. theu. could I lend It—
to him? It was of no use. He over
ruled me. bad tbe £9 of me and bought
the Hogarths I was longing for."

THE "HUMAN MIRACLE."
Laughter ■ Blessing No Bird, Beast,
Fish or Reptile Possesses.
In the London Opinion the sage
James Douglas, speculating on that
pleasurable emotion which is accompa
nied by face cracking movements of
the muscles of the physiognomy and a
brightness of the eyes uud I* kuown
as iaughler. describes the phenomenon
as "the human miracle" and says:
"No bird or beast or fish or reptile
can laugh. You can teach an ape to
do almost anything, but you cannot
teach him to laugh. The awful sol
emnlty of animals is the one really Id
tolerable thing on this earth. They are
cut off from the abiding miracle of bu
mcr.
"A wise man has warned us to in
terrogate ourselves when we laugh. I
totally and entirely repudiate that di
abolical doctrine Never interrogate
yourself when you iaugh. You should
never look a laugh In the mouth.
"There are many kinds of laughter,
but they are all good, interrogate
yourself If you like when you weep
But if you value the well being of
your soul never Interrogate yourself
when you laugh. Laughter Is a good
thing In Itself and an end by Itself
The quality of laughter, like the quail
ty of mercy, ought never to be strain
ed. Laugh before you loak."—New
York Times.
OUR PLACE IN THE SUN.
Human Beings, Like Plants, Need Much
of the Outdoor Life.
A home without windows was built
for the blind in a certain English com
munlty. Scientific heating and ventlla
tlon were provided. But architects
and trustees reasoned that light was
not necessary in a house of sightless
people.
Then they discovered that human be
ings, like plants, dwiDdle and die when
deprived of the light of the sun. And
they had to remodel their building and
let in the sun's rays to keep the blind
alive
Since the Invention of the electric
light we have all treated sunlight with
amazing indifference. In summer es
peclally we spend much time, thought,
energy anil money protecting ourselves
from the sun.
Aud In so doing we often are acting
not much more wisely than the com
mittee that built a house without light
for the blind. In summer, for instance,
we try to escape the sun when we actu
ally need Its services In the cause of
good health.
So take your work aud play out of
doors when possible. Don't fear sun
stroke. Don't be afraid of sweat and
tan.—Toledo News-Bee.
Grinned Into Matrimony.
That grinning matches were in ac
cepted form of sport In early English,
days is shown by an advertisement
announcing a gold ring to be grinned
for by men ou Oct. 0 at the Swan,
Coleshill heath. Warwickshire, which
appeared In tlie Post Boy of Sept. 17.
1711. Addison gives a detailed ac
count of one of these "controversies of
faces," telling us that the audience
unanimously bestowed the ring on a
cobbler who "produced several new
grins of his own invention, having
been used to cut faces for many years
together over his last"
His performance was something like
this: "At the very tirst grin he cast
every human feature out of his coun
tenance. at the second he simulated
the face of a spout, at the third that
of a baboon, at the fourth the bead of
a bass viol and at the fifth a pair of
nut crackers." Addison adds that a
comely wench whom he had wooed in
vain for more than live years was so
charmed with his grins that she mar
rled biin the following week.
Bite* a* Required.
He was trying to sell a dog. a bandy
legged brute, with features calculated
to stop a motorcar, and the old lady
did not seem averse to buying one
Their Ideas as to the brute's value
scarcely corresponded, howeverr and
there was little prospect of agreement,
when suddenly the lady demanded:
"Will be bite7"
"Only his meat, mutn." responded
the fancier.
"Oh, but 1 wanted one for tramps."
"Tramps Is his meat, mum," was the
artful reply, and there was a deal, aft
er all.—Exchange
Disorder.
I distrust both the Intellect and mo
rality of people to whotn disorder is of
no consequence. What surrounds ua
reflects more or less that which Is
within us. The mind Is like one of
those dark lanterns which In spite of
everything still throw some light
around. If our tastes did not reveal
our character they would be no longer
tastes, but Instincts— Ernlle Souvestre.
The Lesser of Two Evils.
"I'll be mighty glad when I start to
school," announced Willie one day.
"Why will you be glad, dear?" asked
his mother In surprise.
"Well, then you an' papa will have
to cut out this spellln' of words that
you don't want me to hear."—Ladles'
Bome Journal.
When a Man Makes His Will.
It Is a morbid superstition that a
man dies when he makes his will.
More often he lives happily and long
after be has done so. It relieves his
anxieties.—London Saturday Review.
Safety First.
"Do you know why the little chick
ens come out of the eggs, dear?"
"Course I do. They know they'd get
boiled If they staved In."- B«s'.on Tran
