lo sacrifice, or not to sacrifice, that it is th question,

Whether "tis better in the average to suffer

The absence and lack of base hits,

Or take chances against a lot of fielders

And by slugging make them. T » tind—to fan

No more, and by a drive, to say we end

The strike outs,and the thousand natural slips

This flesh is heir to, ‘tis a consummation

Devoutly to be wished To find—-to fan—

lo fan ! perchance to toucn—ay, there’s the rub ; For in that bit of chance what outs may come, When we have lived it off to second base Must give us pause ; there's the respect That makes calamity of a double play. For who would bear the hisses and jeers of kids, The manager's oaths,the grand stand’s groans, The pangs of lost bonuses,the captain's wrath, The insolenve of bleachers, and the guy? That unlucky players of the newspapers take, When he himself might his rep make With a great sacrifice? Who would short bunts To grunt and sweat for an out on first Bat that the dread of something on second, That well-covered country, from whose field A bali quickly returns, pazzles the eye, And makes us rather make the hits we know Than to fly out to fields we know not of? Thus batting does make cowards of us all ; And thus the mighty muscles of batters Are handicapped ever with the wish to bunt ; And smashers of great eyes and limbs, Out of regard for this, home runs never make And lose the name of slugger.

Worse than Dynamite

Hardly a month passes but we read of terrible explosions, and loss of life from natural gas.

One writer has raked up Chinese history, wherein it appears, that away back in the time when the famous Chinese wall was building, before the use of gas wells was dis- covered, a terrible explosion took place.

The big wells in some way got the start of the little ones, so that enormous volumes of air was sucked down into those subteranean magazines. When the air reached certain

roportions, the whole thing went off like a looky gasoline stove. The result was horrible in the destructiou of lives. The same writer predicts similar conditions underlying the great natural gas belt of this country, from Toledo, through Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, whereby that whole vast region might be ripped up to the depth of 1500 feet, leaving a chasm for the waters of the great lakes to pour dows into blotting out every living human being. in this now densly populated valley from the face of the earth. That writer might easily have shown further, that throughout our whole country not only in densely populated regions and cities, bat in country and village houses as well, natural gases far more dangerous than is found in the lake regions, are carrying off not only “‘pig-tail” Chinamen, but cur own fam- ilies and friends, durning the hot waves of July and August.

Scores of people are dyiug daily from typhoid fever, diarrhoea, dysentery, cholera- morbus, aud infant summer complaints; all caused by poisonous gases and ferments, far worse than hydrogen gas or dynamite in their explosions. Fortunately this latter danger can all be averted, by the use of a simple old fashioned remedy, Johnson’s Anodyne Lini- ment, used internally, asexplained ina pam- phlet sent free to anyone, by I. S. Johason & Co., Boston, Mass. No matter if you have used this remedy before, it will pay you to get a bottle and read the direction, or sen for the pamphlet just to leara how to use it economically. a2 d6i whi
