Most any ten-year-old youngster can curve a ball, even though he does not know why he can do so except that the leather must be held In a certain way. Possibly a half dozen of the major league twirlers know something about the science of the curve, but comparatively few understand why they can produc? thsir "benders." The Scientific American gives the follow ing as the scientific explanation of the mutter: "The pitcher in the field tells us that the ball curves because lie gives it a twist, but scientifically this will not do. Why will the twist make the curve? If a ball were thrown in a certain di rection and If the force of gruvltation were not at work the ball would con tinue on In a straight line forever. Some force of resistance Is then at work when a ball Is made to deviate in a curve from Its straight course. If a feather Is dropped in a vacuum in an exhausted receiver of an air pump It will drop like a shot, but If It Is drop ped out in the air it will go down ir regularly and slowly, shifting from side to side. "It is the atmosphere which causes the ball to curve. Bearing In mind that the atmosphere is a compressible, elastic gas. we find that when the ball leaves the hand of the pitcher with a rapid rotary motion it 'impinges upon a continuous elastic cushion,' and this moderate resistance, or friction, changes Its course in the direction which is given to the rotary motion. Take an outslioot of a right handed pitcher, for instance. He Impresses upon the ball a rapid centrifugal ro tary motion to the left, and the ball goes to the left because the atmosphere, compressible and elastic, is packed Into an clastic cushion Just ahead of the ball by the swift forward and rotary motion, and the friction, which Is very great In front of the ball, steers it in the direction which it is turning." A NOTABLE MEETING. Il.ld In the Interest of "Woman*, night." In 1701. The first recorded public meeting in the Interest of "woman's rights" was held in the town of Medford, Mass., In 1701. The gallery of the church was occupied by the young unmarried peo ple of the congregation, one side and one half the front gallery being given to the young men, the other side and the other half being given to the young women. But in the seating in this eventful year the young men were giv en the entire front of the gallery as well, and the young women were only allowed one side of the gallery. Then it was that things began to happen. Treatment like this wasn't to be tolerated even for a moment. The blood of tho future mothers of the Revolution was fully aroused, and tho young women made such an uproar and commotion that it speedily became a town matter, and a town meeting was called to restore to them their rights in half of the front gallery. The young men of the day were bit terly opposed to extending any new privileges to women, and the fight ex tended beyond Medford. Shortly after the introduction of "pues" Into the churches, by which families were sep arated from the remainder of the con gregation, the selectmen of the town of Newbury gave permission to a group of young women to build a "pue" in the gallery of the church upon their own side of the house. This extension of privilege was resented by the young bachelors to such a degree that they broke a window of the church, forced an entrance and hacked the pew In pieces. For tills act of sacrilege the young men of Newbury were fined $lO each and sentenced to be whipped or pilloried. But they were manly enough to confess their folly and ask pardon, so this part of their punishment was omitted. So you see the "woman's rights" movement Isn't a modern one.— Boston Herald. The Iteal Sblllalah. The shlllalab, accounted Ireland's na tional weapon of defense, was original ly a common blackthorn stick, but In modem times It has been replaced by the more wiry ash sapling. The real sblllalah is a young shoot of the sloe shrub or blackthorn pulled by the root from the crevice of some rock. After being trimmed It Is placed In the smoke of turf peat, which softens the hard fiber, and when It has reached n con dition as pliant as rubber It is straight ened. When cooled In the air It be comes as strong and firm as iron. The trimming process is then continued, and when It Is desired to mnke a par ticularly handsome weapon the spus, so effective In a melee or faction fight, are ornamented with small brass nails.

THE BERTH OF A THEATER TICKET SELLER IS NOT A SINECURE. Why the Man Who Situ Behind the Wicket Mimt Be n Good Jndicc of llumnu Nature—The Art of "Ureas liik" n Llicht House. To the avenge theater goer the man who sits behiLd the wicket in the box office ami sells tickets seems to have oue of the sinecures of earth. True, lie has to answer many fool question! and deal with many fool persons wLo are often ugly because others with more foresight have picked up ea»iy all the good seats. lie has to handle diplo matically the woman who wants dollar seats for 75 cents and with the other fellow who wants "first row, center," after the play has begun and that has been sold for a week ahead. Hut all these things seem but his share of the minor ills of earth. Outside of theiu apparently his Job is what is generally known as a "snap." Rut the man in the box office has oils " things to do besides sell tickets. True, that Is where he comes in con tact with the general public, and that is all that is usually thought about his duties. But at the same time he is serving the public he Is working for two masters behind the scenes, the proprietor of the house and the mana ger of the attraction, and he must serve them equally, while their Inter ests sometimes conflict sharply. Fur thermore. lie must serve thein as against the public if need there be, and it keeps him hustling to hold his Job to do it too. The man behind the wicket Is a good man if he can make you buy a seat that costs you more than you intended to invest to see that particular "show" —all attractions in a playhouse are "shows" In the parlance, be they opera, comedy or vaudeville. Now, most men think they know what they are going to get when they visit a theater, and they especially have the price fixed in their minds. Perhaps, psychologically speaking, they are stronger minded than the house treasurer. Then they do get what they want, and he never questions it. Rut the average man is not. The treasurer is trained in ticket selling. It is his daily routine, while it is an occasional act on the man's part. Hence he Is fortified for the pub lic, and the latter Is not for him, and so when the people step up, especially if it is rather late and there is some thing of a rush, a clever ticket man can easily get the extra price out of them for a higher selling seat. llow does he do it? Largely by the power of suggestion. He implies that you want it, focjnstance, when you go up. In other words, he puts the ques tion as to what priced seat by asking you about the higher ones before he mentions the lower ones, and when he does refer to the latter, at your sugges tion, he does it rather apologetically. He has the higher rate tickets in his hand, and if you do not take them he reaches to the rack for the others, and all the time the line Is waiting, those back of you are scowling, If not mak ing remarks, and every one within ear shot of the window knows that you have refused the higher seats for the lower priced ones. This Is embarrass ing. Especially Is it so if a girl is with you, waiting just outside the rail that separates the mob from the line, and the chances are 10 to 1 that you will take the cue, involuntarily, and pay a quarter more, when you had no inten tion of doing so when you approached the clever man In the box. That Is one way. It doesn't require any falsehood. It does require a good knowledge of human nature. Some men wouldn't "stand for" that. They would be offended, and it might hurt the house. That is for the treasurer to beware. He must "size up" his cus tomers and act accordingly. There is a great gain In time In sell ing without a chart. A man will then step up and ask for a "good seat" about a certain place. Running through his lists, the seller finds him something very near there, and he Is satisfied. That one man Is finished in a few seconds. It would take minutes if the sheets were there. Time is im portant when the orchestra Is playing and the curtain about togo up. Still further, the absence of a chart enables the seller to "dress" his house, provided the sale Ls light, and to keep out "singles" if it is heavy. "Singles" are seats left alone when the adjoining pairs have been selected from a chart. "Singles" are hard to sell because very few persons attend a theater alone. Al most all seats are sold In pairs. A treasurer with a bunch of "singles" on his hands, even with a house threaten ing to sell out. Is "up against it,"for often he will lose sales that would have meant capacity but for the fact that he cannot place a couple in ad- Joining seats, though he may have sev eral odd ones left. "Dressing" a house is the avoidance of this condition in one sense, but it applies ?ight houses generally. Wheu a show is not doing well it is up to the box office to make the house look full even though it be only partly solid. He does this by scattering the crowd. Instead of selling a section solid and leaving adjoining sections vacant he sells a few here, a few there, and thus the empty spaces are not concentrated. Men usually dress a house from the center out. They will sell a good part of the center section, scattering, and then will work out on the left and right. This Is because seats ou the ex treme edge of the house are not so good, and people expect them to be va cant except In a heavy house anyhow and do not notice thcui so soon. He knows his house like a book, and he knows early In the day whether or not he will have a crowd. Hence he acta accordingly.—Kansas City Journal. J. D.

Its Story May Luck I'lot, but It Is De cidedly Interesting. Whoever says "dull as a dictionary" cannot be very familiar with one. We may sympathize with the old lady who remarked of the dictionary that she "didn't think much of the story," but nevertheless no one can use a good unabridged edition with any frequency and not attest to the fact that It is full of the most fascinating reading. Indeed, notwithstanding tho old lady's opinion, the dictionary often exerts a charm not unlike that of an exceeding ly interesting novel. To be sure, the narrative lncks consecutiveness, but the work is full of most interesting »tories. When we goto look up a word we are in doubt about we are attracted to other words in Its neighborhood; they enlist our curiosity; we are impelled to tlnd out their meanings, too, and to make ourselves acquainted with their life histories. Very strange things, most unsuspected things, they often tell us. Occasionally a very familiar word that we thought we knew all about reveals most remarkable quali ties—much as some commonplace neighbor who for years we have nod ded to in passing to and fro, regarding him as an excellent but rather dull in dividual, may chance to join us in a walk down the street or sit beside us on the train and casually betray traits, Interests, qualities of mind or heart that entirely change our opinion of him. So we may read on and on, per haps forgetting all about the word that we set out to look up, and finally have to turn to it again to reassure ourselves as to the precise points we were in doubt about.—Boston Herald. THE. WET TABLECLOTH. It Puzcled the Ship's Passenger Until It Wan Kxplnlned. The understeward In setting the ta ble poured a half glass of water on the clean white cloth and placed a dish of fruit on f.he puddle he had made. lie made another puddle and placed on it the carafe. On a third puddle he placed the butter dish, and so on. "Why do you spoil the cloth with all that water?" asked a passenger. "Because the weather's rough, sir," said the steward, and then, making an other puddle, he went on: "We stewards on oceau liners must not be merely good waiters—we must be good wet weather waiters. And we have a number of tricks. "One of our tricks is to set the heavy dishes upon wet spots. If we were to set them on dry spots in the ordinary way they would slide to and fro with every lurch of the ship. But if the cloth is wetted they don't slide. They adhere to the wet place as though glued to It. "One of the first things a steward learns Is to set a stormy weather table —to spill water on the cloth at each place where a heavy dish is to stand. This water serves its purpose thor oughly, and it doesu't look bad, either, for the dish covers it. No one knows of the wet spot underneath."—New York Press. Bcffirars In England. Beggars who feign diseases are no new thing in the streets of London. They existed in Charles ll.'s time, only then the beggar was called a "ruffler," a "huff" or a "shabbaroon." If he was deaf and dumb he was called a "dum merer." The woman who sung hymns and led borrowed children by the hand was called a "clapperdozen." Vagrancy is no new thing, though it practically did not exist in mediaeval times. It was when the cities ceased to be con fined within their own walls and long before the days of policemen that the people got beyoud the control of the aldermen and their officers and va grancy became a regular profession. The first English law against beggars was made by Ilenry VIII., who gave licenses to beg to the old and Impotent and ordered that all other beggars should be whipped and sent back to their parishes Miserable Creaturea.
