It had got to be so tnat high-salaried pitchers seemed to think all the people came and paid in their hard-earned half dollars for was to gee them pose, and thereby the game was some times prolonged unreasonably. Under the new rule the pitcher cannot take the ball in his two-thousand-apiece-dollar hands and fumble it, then moisten his fingers and/| thumb with saliva and wipe them on the side of his trowsers, cross his right foot around in front | of the left, just touching the toes of the former | to the sround. stand in this picturesque attitude | several seconds, while the feelings of the spec- tators are wrought upto fever heat, and then | suddenly untie his legs and go down in his | pocket for a chew of tonscco, and wink at the pretty girl who is watching his contortions through an opera glass.

Styies ‘Im Shoes, From the New York Sun. “The polnted-toed boots,” said a down-town shoemaker recently, ‘have disappeared forever —at least, I hope it ts forever; but the chances are that the fashion will come up again in the next twenty years, according to the regular ro- tation cf such things. The pointed toes of the sixteenth century were pretty because they were symmetrically designed, but the abortive speci- meus of the shoemnaker’s art which office boys and small clerks are carrying about-town now * condemn the pointed-toed toot forever. Is it = ible to Imagine any uglier footgear than a made very narrow at the toe, flat-heeled, and with the toes al! bunched up on one side and rising in a series of little bumps forward ot the instep? The square-toed shoe of the politi- cian is really the most sensible one in the mar- ket, though the present shve of fashion has two ats to be condemned. They are making the alittle smaller and rounding the tues, but pever bring them toa point. Laced sioes are by large odds the favorites, as buttoned shoes become loose and gaiters untidy: but the laced shoe can always be kept close to the foot and will keep its shape longer than apy other.” ANGORA.

Correspondent Boston Advertiser, Like s0 many things, it owed its genesis to amere accident. It was in July, 1829, when Mrs. Cowd en Clarke was sitting at the break- fast table of some friends in Somersetshire, that regret was expressed that there existed no concordance to Shakespeare, whose works formed the Biple of the intellectual world. Eager in everything, Mrs. Cowden Clarke re- solved then and there that she would write this desired concordance, and that very forenoon, while Joining her friends in a walk through the fields, she took with heravolume of the poet and a penciland jotted down the first lines of her book under B- “Boatswain, have acare.” (Temp. 1, etc.) The following is an account she gave me of the mode of writing she ultimately adopted for this wor! had a separate portfolio for each letter of the alphabet, these portfollos were ranged around infront of me on my writing table. I opened my father’s copy of Shakespeare at my sides, haying two pages in view ata time. T took the first word that presented itself at the top of the first page (we will suppose this word to begin with “a”), and entered each word commencing with the same letter on the MS. page, which are headed by the word, and placed it in its respective portfolio, going thus alpha- betically through the whole of the two spread open ages, until every salient word therein was duly culled and registered. I generally worked from four to six hours per day and always before and after breakfast till es time, so that the outside of the house during those hours of the day was little known to me. We usually took our exercise, and recre- ation of an evening. Happ: were our hours then! © yy side, one working at his book, the other writing his lectures on our ‘poetic idol.’ When she had got half way she was told that some other per- son was engaged on the same task. Sadly. very sadly, she packed up all her portfolios and materials, resolved to abandon the task, think- ing with native modesty that the uaknown rival would surely do it better. She told me that to thie day she can recall her feelings while kneelng on the floor and pushing away thelarge packet under her bed for safe keeping, for they ved in small quarters then, and space had to be economized. Joyful. very Joyful was she when she could haul her packet forth again. Some idea of the vastness of the undertaking paper alone for tue work cost over £5. From this careful study of Shakespeare resulted some original works, of which the most notable is the ‘Girlhood of Shakespeare’s Heroines,’ In which, with ingenuity and intuitive Imagina- tion, Mrs. Cowden Clarke has striven to trace the probable antecedents in the history of Shakespeare's women, tv conjecture what might have been the first imperfect drawings of those | whom he has shown as in the meridian stave | of perfection. A bold venture, truly, this series of tifteen tales, and only justified by its wonder- ful success. “It was in 1851 that the two sisters, with hus- band and brother, settled in Genoa. the Cowden | Clarkes ‘ married lovers,’ as they were called to the end, after fifty years of wedlock occupying themselves with literature, reading, working, thinking In unison; Sabiila, obliced to refrain from teaching from delicacy of throat and sus- | eeptibility to damp, ever active in promoting the cause of good music; and Alired, with engi- neering skili and fertile invention, turning a ramshackle old house into a quaint ‘and livable | abode, and converting an intended area of ground into a most variegated and delicious garden. To this house flock all the eminent visitors that pass throuzh Genoa, glad to become | acquainted with the woman who still preserves the gracious and courtly old world manner, | which our modern life of fret and harry is fast rendering extinct, a charm only equaled by her mentai vivacity. her cordial. frank and gener- ous address, the zest and charm of her conver- sation, and, above all, by her perfect womanly gentleness. She is truly a sweet type of woman- hood in its noblest expression.” ———+e-—______ Maidservants in Germay. Thave seen women of at least 75 to 80 years | may be gained from the circumstance that the | | 2 | of age working in vineyards, writes a corre- | spondent from Wiesbaden, carrying immense baskets of compost on their heads. But the most curious phase of this servitude is the po- sition of the matdservant in the family, |. For example, it a gentleman is expected | home, unless the family keep a coachman, a maidservant is often sent to the depot to meet him and carry home his luggage, though the man may be perfectly strong and healthy. In the evening. after a concert or theater, the streets are thronged with maldservants, at- tending their masters or mistresses, as the case maybe. A lady may not go alone to any of these places, though {t Is perfectly proper for her to be “protected” by a maidservant of 16, while she herself may be 60. The members of the orchestra saunter along, smoking and chat- ting. while young girls carry thelr Instruments, overcoats, etc. The averave wages of the best of these servants is only $5 a month. Thus, women are the cheapest of all kinds of labor. ————_-e-___ Ke Would be an Owl.

A well-known dairy in Nassau street is crowded every day at2 o'clock. Yesterday a man who looked like a Hebrew, and who wore a silk hat and a costly suit or clothes, and whose shirt front blazed with diamonds, entered and walked to the end of the room. “There he is,” whispered the proprietor’s son. The man enjoyed a substantial fifty-cent meal and when the crush became greatest he tried to slip out; but as he reached the door the proprietor touched him on the shoulder, and re- marked that he always set his face against giy- ing free dinners to such well-dressed customers. “What do you mean, sir?” demanded the stranger. ss aaeme pay your bill,” said the proprietor. h —whiy of course.

Yet you see he was just a bit too clever. Do I have many such cases? Too many. The last was that of a pious preacher of the Gospel. I made him pay me $10. He was so much frightened and ashamed that he would have paid $50. Dis- honesty doesn’t pay.” ——— Municipal Jobbery Expowed.

The sign should read, ‘Loox out for the locomotive,” sir; for, sir, while a man fs looking out for the cars, sir, he might get run over by the locomotive, sir. First Councilman (hotly)—I denounce the gentleman from Punkhollow, sir, as a vile schemer, a swindler of the taxpayers, sir.

The Millers have not only the most perfect Mill, con- taining as it does all the most improved Machinery in- yented up to the present time, but they produces Flour Uxsvmpasse by any mill in the world. To prove that, we would simply state thata large quantity of this magnificent Flour is shipped annually to Europes: eaten at the principal Courtsof the old world. Guananree that {t is made from selected hand whest grown in Minnesota and Dakota It is an acknowledged fact, that in this Flour a perfect separation of the gluti- nous particles of the wheat berry and a thorough elimi- nation of all weak and starchy matter has at last been reached, and is consequently more Nurarrious, yield- ing more bread to the barrel than any other Flour. The best trade admits that from its bresd-making qualities it is the cheapest, ae well as the best, for either family or baker's use, and unsurpassed by any Flour made Every sack and every barrel is warranted to give entire satisfaction, STERLING’S ST.
