Eaton, the winner of The Youth's Companion prize of for the best story for girls in the recent competition, is a illustration of the successes that are occasionally won at a bound by wholly unknown writers of fiction. His prize story, Out the which appeared in the me- day issue of The Companion, was second short story he ever wrote and the first one that he ever submitted to a publisher. Mr. Eaton is years of age, married and a law- by vocation. He enjoys a practice at N. Y., the place of his birth, and is now serving his seventh term as city attorney. In his fifteenth year Mr. Eaton re- a severe gunshot while hunting pigeons, which deprived him of the end of one finger and filled an arm with bird shot. At the age of thirds that distance. After the nine has begun to work in the field it is not advisable for the catcher to throw to second anything like the number of times the majority of amateurs attempt daily. Only after the nine has been Ont of doors for two or three weeks is so much of the full distance throwing safe for any catcher who wishes to have his arm in condition. The position of the feet in throwing is all important. If he be a strong man of moderate weight he can and should throw without the position of the feet. To this object his gymnasium practice should be devoted. Standing steadily upon his feet in the exact assumed at the moment of catch- the ball, he should, with a slight swing at the hips, able to send the ball down. Throwing in a cage a low ceiling is the best thing possible for him, as it forces him to throw hard and on a line. A point of catcher's practice, which I does not enter into the work of the I pitcher, is that of toughening the hands. Rowing on the machines, climb- the rope, swinging on the flying j rings and handball, if there are any courts for that excellent game, will all tend toward this end. He should con- sider, however, that it is not merely I toughening the skin of the hands that is desirable, but also hardening the I flesh so that it is not easily bruised. For i this reason he should with- out gloves regularly every day. At the outset he should receive no ; swift balls, and should stop at the first feeling of anything beyond a moderate tingling of the palms. His hands should i receive their full preparatory hardening i before he goes out into the field, for i ordinary carefulness that he , should do no catching behind bat after the season commences except with hands thoroughly protected by well padded gloves. What is called a stone bruise is one of the tenderest and moat lasting of carelessness in this respect. In his gymnasium practice he should wear the mask This seems to most catchers a useless bore, but the cap- or coach should insist upon it, and the mask should become almost a part of catcher himself. AU his throwing and catching should be performed with his eyes behind its wires, in order that, from becoming thoroughly accustomed to it, it may add no inconvenience to his work. The breastplate need not be so rigor- insisted upon, but even this should be worn frequently. The right hand glove must always be worn when practicing throwing, in order that this also shall offer no unusual difficulty in the later work. Many a catcher may think that it looks silly to stand up with a musk and glove on to throw at a mark; but there is every reason for doing this, and he will himself the value of such practice when he stands accoutered on the field behind the batsman and with a runner on first. As often as it is convenient the catcher, particularly if a novice, should have some one swing the bat before him while he is in the gymnasium, By the time he gets of doors he should be thoroughly ac- to the close proximity of the Camp in St. las.

There were many other in San Francisco in those early days, but I will simply allude to. two four legged celebrities who will easily re- membered by the early residents.

Just when It was Bum- mer made Ills first appearance I cannot say, but when I first knew him, in 1880, ho was recognized as a kindred spirit by all the bummers in town, which gave him tho name he wore with so much credit to himself. He was a mongrel, having evidently a mixed an- noble Newfoundland blood coursed through his veins, mingled with that of the brave but somewhat vicious bull. He could not be termed a dog, for he would recognize no mas- nor would he respond to any paid but treated all with the most sublime indifference. He nil tho bar rooms and lunch though he was never known to emu- late his namesakes. He was always a come guest, however, and never failed to have abundance to cat. He never was known to snarl or bite, and was never ill used; indeed, it would have been a bold man who would Undertake to offer him insult, for the freedom of the city had been granted him by the board of supervisors, none but friends were to be found wherever he went. On one occasion he found a mangy cur dog, who had been stoned by the boys and generally maltreated. The poor dog had come sadly to grief, Having his leg broken and being entire- disabled. The sympathies of Bum- mer were roused. He took the poor dog under his care, supplied him with food and acted the toward him until his leg had healed, when he adopted him as his com- and thenceforward wherever one dog was seen the other sure to be seen also. The intimacy was noticed, and the name of was bestowed on the newcomer. ordinance relating to Bummer was revised, and Lazarus was included in the general freedom of tho city. No dog catchers could in any way reach them. No licenses were re- quired from them.

M. a Polish chemist, has discovered what he claims to be a sub- for gum by boiling one part of flaxseed with eight parts of luted sulphuric acid in eight parts of water until the mixture, which at first thickens, becomes quite fluid. The compound is then strained through muslin, and four times its volume of strong alcohol is added. The after being filtered, washed with alcohol and carefully dried, produces a clear gum devoid of all taste or odor. Thirty grains, it is said, are a sufficient emulsion for an ounce of cod liver oil. The value of this invention will, of course, depend on how far this new can be relied on as a substitute for the original, and the cost at which it can be produced for tho change.

Sept. 5th, Harmony of monkey and par- rot kind is that which now prevails among the republican Senators, and the closing debate on the tariff hill, particularly the reciprocity would have been mans- were it not fact that the prosperity of this country for some years to come is involved therein. This way Senator Edmonds paid his respects to Mr. Blaine's to reciprocity with Central and South America, demand of a country for commodities does not depend as much upon members as upon the state of its its wealth and its civilization. When look at any Central American or South American State, I think that any one average people in North America have, during the last year, consumed more of the products, merchandise, food and clothing that go to make up the comfort, luxury, and happiness of mankind than one thousand average people in the Central or South American States. the expectation of the United States being able to dispose of a large in- crease of its products there, is, in my opinion, one of the greatest that brilliant men or sober statesmen have fallen Senator Sherman in advocating his Canadian reciprocity was equally in condemning the Blame idea. It is not that these gentlemen anything specially against reciprocity, bat hate Blaine, in the republican Sena- tors all seem to hate each other anyway. Senator Vance had some fun with Senator by giving old gentleman rope to get him- self up as to the duties upon the products of North Mr. is an able lawyer but be knows simply nothing at all about the tariff, and every time be has attempted to speak that subject be has but exhibited his ignorance of it.

He said tell you, there ought to be a tobacco ware- house right here in Greenville, an I a factory too. They ought to be established before next fall. You estimate in county at acres this will be five times as much next year. The ware- house would create a home market for the and the would consume it right here, thus giving the farmers a double advantage to good prices and keep all the money home. rather invest money in tobacco enterprises in Greenville than anything know. If the men of Greenville and the around here will come together and establish them I will put as much money in it, according to my means, as any other man puts in. Get the people stirred up let the warehouse and factory be The was glad to hear this kind of talk. It argues well Greenville that people living outside of town want to invest their money here. What Mr. Cherry says about enterprises here is true. Ware- houses and factories arc just what the town needs and money can be made in them. Now what say the s men of the town about this matter This is a time to get the people, both the farmer and the business men, aroused. Since talking with Mr. Cherry we have seen a list for stock subscript to build a tobacco warehouse that had several hundred dollars down on it. That is the right step. Keep matter going and the ware- house will soon be secured. Again, there are some gentlemen consulting together about the of a cigarette factory and they want estimates for machinery, etc., necessary. This is another en- that would pay handsomely hero.
