MR EDITOR:—We are having genuine
March weather thus far this month,
despite the appearance of blue birds and
robins. The theremometer has arranged
from 2° below to 32°. The frost is not
coming out of the ground very fast and
the snow is going very slowly. The in

assuring.
Mr. John R. Derr, who formerly re

day morning. He took his gun to shoot
sparrows and as he was going down the
steps from the porch one of the steps
broke, lie fell and in doing so his gun
was discharged, tae entire load penetrat
ing his body near the heart. A physi
cian was called in but was unable to save
his life. He died in two hours from in
ternal hemorages. He leaves a widow.
He expected to move on the farm he
purchased last fall.

~ THE CURVED BALL.
(t Is the Atmosphere Which Canaei
It* Eccentric Shoots.
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.—

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

BOX OFFICE TRICKS.
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.

THL DICTIONARY.
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

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.
"Talking of matrimony," said the
sage, "there are two sorts of men who
are equally miserable specimens."
"And they are?"
"The fellow who says he's sorry he
ever married and the fellow who says
he's glad he never did."—Philadelphia
