I will glTe a few plans for mane igfsg this noble animal without so much brafe force. The way to manage a kick ing Jiorse is to take a short piece of rope loud enough to go around th upper jaw, which must be tied so as not to -lip.

"They banish sheep with their nightly howling, and sometimes they carry off a child, but they are the scaven gers Of the plains, which, I think, would hardly be habitable without them. Let roe tall yeu a curious story about one of the brutes saving a child : ' MIhad better state at once, to check vndue sympathy, that the jackal when he rescued Lai Chokrce, acted . purely as au involuntary agent, for he certainly in , ndedaoeat her. The little girl's name, --n tor la England a year prevlounly, Wvlfotlreefh'cTln Jittle Mabel was bora, and three months later rumors of the coming mutiny in In dia began to be heard. CoL Stern was or dered to rejoin his command, and with his wife, who insisted on accompanvincr him. his infant daughter and an ayah, or na tive nurse, obtained with soma difficulty in London, he turned his face eastward. When he stepped ashore in Calcutta the country was in a flame of insurrection, and the colonel learned that his own regi ment, composed of Sepoys, recruited chiefly in the northwest, had been among the first to turn the arms thev had ob tained and the arts they had learned from their English masters against their teach ers. He was ordered to do general duty with the forces besieging Delhi, and still accompanied by his wife and child, though the ayah refused to go any further, he went up the country. The last scenes of the mutiny were be ing played. Their horrors, and those that preceded them are too well known to need description: CoL Stern and his little fam ily, with another ayah, were living in a bungalow, 6r Indian house, a few miles front Delhi, and keeping a careful watch at night time, for parties of disbanded mu tineers were still prowling about,' actu ated by one prevailing purpose, to murder white men, women, and children when ever they con Id do so with a fair chance of escaping with their lives. The colonel was an old Indian camDaiirner. and was apprehensive of an attack, it came at last jn broad daylight, and when the mas ter of the house and his wife were absent in the city for an hour, and , nobody was in the bungalow exceDt the avah and thn child. When the colonel and Mrs. Stern returned Mabel was gone, and the ayah, who seemed half-distracted, told the storv in her native tongue: . They came, Mem-Sahib.' she said, ex citedly addressing Mrs. Stern, 'so quickly thatl heard no noise nntil they were in the room. Where is the SabiD Lopne? said one of them. I told them the colonel had gone out and -would not be back be fore night They wanted to know where the Alem-Sahib was. 1 told them you were with him. Great Allah ! said the leader, nobody left to kill ! Then a dirtv little fallow, who lives by robbery and mutinied but never -fought, said : mere is auu tne cnoarue. " 'Oh 1 Mem-Sahib 1 I mit inv forehead to the ground to them. I said : Kill me, but spare the chokrce.' At lost -taayud- i i should not see the baby die. The leader asked her what her same was, and I said Mabel Stern. ' That will not do, said the man. She must not meet Allah with such a name as that. The country is still red with blood. Let us call her Lai Chokrce ' (Ked Girl). Then they took her away. "Mrs. Stern shrieked and rushed toward the door. The colonel stopped her. ' 'What will they do with our babv?' ho asked the ayah. "The woman bowed her head sorrow fully. " 'Sahib,' she said, 'I know them welL The leader will take her home and let her lie an hour with his own little girL I have seen her a child a year old, with a great scar on her forehead. This child will thus get all the good fortune that-.might have come to yours naa sne uvea. TnenneTrui take her to the river, and leave her lying ou a pillow on the shore until the tide rises. It will be full at 9 o'clock.' ' "There mav be time ret.' said the colo- neL looking at his watch. 'Mabel, you may stay here. Avah, do you know where the leader's bungalow is- " 'Yes, sahib' she said. '1 will show you. It is only half a mile away, and perhaps many men will not be there. Take your pistol and come.' rne coionei iouowea ner, pi&toi in nana. But they had not come a quarter of a mile before both stopped as they heard the noise made by some animal approaching them. Then, under the bright moonlight, and only a few yards away a great, gaunt jack al passed them, going at a labored trot ana carrying something heavy in his month. Both saw plainly what it was a native child with a great scar on its forehead. "The colonel raised his pistol and was. about to fire at the brute, when, the ayah Stopped him with a hasty grasp an his arm, " 'Stay, sahib,' she whispered, 'That is the leader's child. The jackal may have taken yours first and then gone 1 ack for the other. Let us follow him. He is not going fast.' "Acting on her advice, the followed until they saw the jackal stop and drop his burden under a tree. The next moment he tied, snarling like a hunted cur, into the jungle, and the colonel lined nts aaugmer. fast asleep and unharmed, from the side of the Hindoo baby just laid down. While Mabel had been transferring her fortunes to the leader's child, and the family were waiting patiently at the rear of the Bunga low for the completion of the operation the jackal, coward and sneak-thlef of the wil- . . . . 1 1 1 X. Gerness, naa cameu ou luo wuiw uauj, and deferred his supper until he had re turned for the black one. "A year afterward col, Stern and nis wife stood at the window of their home in Enirland. smilingly watching two children on the grass below. One was Mabel Stern, and tne otner aausgy utue gin tub a scar on her forehead, and a faithful and re markably intelligent ayah was taking care of them both." Annoanelng Engagements. When a couple are engaged there is sel dom any sensible reason why all the world should not know it, and therefore the new fashion of announcing engage ments just before a prominent ball and having the ladies and gentleman congrat ulated by their friends is to be com mended. To be snre, if the engagement is afterward broken, the thought of these nublic congratulations would be embar rassing; but if the fashion tends to pre vent promises of marriages being lightly given it will serve good purposes. The girl who might say yes when asked to marrv. with the mental reservation that if anything better comes along she will con trive not to keep her word, will think twice about it if she has to go through with'such a form. Marriage engagements are frequently too lightly entered into and too lightly set aside. The engagement should be nearly as sacred a contract as the marriage itself, and it should be such an engagement that both parties would be proud to have it known among all their common acquaintances.

I WHAT BASEBALL COSTS. . - CIla1Ealarted PlayeraIM tellers tas most Costly Grsn rmiDI, a-nv-lieges, Kte. - Of the thousands who daily witness a baseball match, very few have any Idea of the actual cost of maintaining, a first- class professional club during a season. Very few ever stop to inquire about the expenses or receipts or a ciuo aunng tne seven months in wmcn tne games an u progress, but are apparently contented in paving their money to see tha high-salaried men play for their amusement : Ths is probably Just as satisfactory, as.manr agers aa well as players, are not sver-anx: tons to give any approximate figures as to the loss or gains or tne speculation. , When enga tar pla baU lot tbai son each player is compelled to Sign coa tu?t in which the amount ha Is to e- " 14 PQisra, are MOMajL poiteR ae documents are known only' to the parties interested ttn less It fa desired to make2 tea- agreement Known. - - -'- .;., ,i..t --1 , The lowest estimated cost of ranathg a first-class baseball club is, as nearly as can be estimated,; about SoSAQQi sUyear. The salary list of the dubs vary aome what, but a representative nine, such as the team of New York, Providence, Boa- ton or Chicago, average between $35,000 and $40,000 annually. The average salary paid to individual players is between (1,500 and 3,500. . Some of the men, how ever, receive more than this. In addition to this extraordinary salary list, the ex penses of the players while they are travv eling is fully covered by the club, aa tha 4uen are only taxed fifty rents a dav. This includes first-class board and .other hotel accommodations, as well aa various expenses on the road. The expenses tor travelling annually foot up to about $10.' 000, and the number of miles covered by each club is about 7.500. Tha next large item on the expense list is the renting of suitaDie grounds. As many of the clubs have this year been compelled to find new quarters, the expense of fitting them up with grand stands and other requirements wiu somewnat increase tne nuis.j .Tha renting, however, of grounds amounts to about slO.000 a year. In addition to this the services of tne gatemen, ushers, ticket takers, and other attendants amount to $3,000. Advertising and various .other items will bring tie total for the club fully up to $65,000, the amount stated, it not more. - --- Each player m the League is compelled to furnish his own uniform, as well as the bats he plays with. In the American Association, however, the club furnishes the uniforms. The first year or two a dab seldom more than pays Its expenses. To start a new club requires additional ex pense. The expense ot securing the release of a good player from the club he previ ously played with must be taken into con sideration and a higher salary mpst be offered to induce him to make the change. When the release is aeenred, advance money is paid in order to prevent his sign ing with another club. .The advance of money is often a mere speculation, as the players subsequently prove unsatisfactory and the club is so much out. Thousands of dollars are paid out through tjie ad vance system every year. When, a good nine Decomes a drawing card It pays well, but not before that. The salaries of the best paid men run about as follows !:. Jae jtxK-. fm- ' lariat' '""" - Tri(aSAH nnzacH, - jROITt OS TJDE TABJfc.

The pitchers are the most expensive players in a clabi The position is the most difficult to fill and the fame depends largely upon the power of is delivery. Kadbourn, the tfiamplon pitcher of the League last year, is content ed to remain with his awn nine at $$,500 McCormick and Shaw, who was recently reinstated, are being paid $2,500 each for this year's work, in addition to the pay ment of the fine that was inflicted by the 1 .en cme manaarers- Sweeney will cost Manager Lnois even? more than this sum. U Kouru was in duced to leave Buffalo and join the New' Yorks, by an offer of $6,000, but he won't get over $4,500. Ewing and Ward, of the New Yorks. receive about $3,600. Mqllane, of Cincinnati, has cost that nine $5,J00. Hecker, Louisville's great pitcher, and the champion- of the American Associa tion, is demanding from $3,500 to $4,U00 forthe season's work. Galvin gets $3,000 from the Buffalo, whose salary list is not far from $15,000. In all of the principal clubs there are players whose salaries ruu irom r-VWO to $3,500 a year. Where the money comes, from U appnr ently.a great mystery.- The League clubs usually make money Thelieagoeehargea fifty cents admission to their eames. In the League the home club is compelled to J pay the visiting nine tnirty ana one imra per cent, of the entire gate receipts of every game. The visiting .club only al lows nine persons tc pas9 in free of charge, and all above that number have to be ac counted for by the home managers. In addition to the admission fee about one half of the patrons pay an extra n Barter for a seat in the grand stand. This the visitors have nothing whatever to do with. When it is stated that In the larger cities the interest:ng games between the strong clubs draw from l.'iOO to 10,000 persons, the mystery will be somewhat solved. Then, the various privileges that are let out oa the grounds, amount to considerable. For instance, the bar and refreshment coun ters turn in from $5,000 to $10,000 a year ; while the contract for selling score cards Is not as small as might be supposed, and the ground, if 'it is a good one, is seldom unused. When baseball is not , being played upon It, other clubs engage .it for athletic and all sorts of sports.

' Practice and hard work, gave way to society and its pleasures. He will probably make an effort to re trieve his prestige in the forthcoming race in this country with Beach, bat aa an idol he has been shattered. Two defeats bv the same opponent are too much. His championship record is shown in the fol lowing laoie: special ability, and according to his own admission, he had had no educational ad vantages, uouianenave done better or as well in any other line of life On the other hand, we have constantly present cases where men have started in with some capital iu farming and lost it all, or are worse off to fl.-iy than they were fifteen years ago, while the cases are legion where, after, a painful struggle with fortune, lasting 10, 15, or ao years, the farmer has succumbed to the temptation of selling his farm for twice what he paid for It, and taking what was left after pay ing mortgage and debts, has made another move westward to begin life anew under, let its hope, more favo.-uble auspices. But is it not a fact that, in most of these cases, the victims of whut they call ill luck are men who would not have ri.sen anywhere te a higher position than that of mere laborers? Workmen there are in abund ance carpenters, joiners, blacksmiths, painters, printers, but how many are theM Who, in addition to kuowlng their trade, have the additional qualifications to con duct a business of their own, or even to make competent foremen So with farm ers, how many there are competent enough to conduct the ordinary operations of the farm, but lackincr in the srood sense the judgment, intelligence and general capac ity to conduct the business of farming suc cessfully. Such men manage to eke out a poor living, and on farms not worth more' than $10 to $20 an acre their ill success is not quite so conspicuous, hut as the country grows and their neigh borhood be comes settled, and laud rues in value, they feel out of place and behind the rest of the procession, and as they have never made an effort at solf-imprqvement, and probably are unequal tothe'task, perhaps the best thing they cau do is to sell out to a better man and rrove out of the way. !

Bllsa Cleveland on the Bostram Some Thoughts Suggested by Her .Lecture. In June, 18S3, Miss Elizabeth Cleveland, present mistress of the White house, de livered an address before the Elniira, if. Y., Female College, which the Presbyte rian Evangelitst called "great," a de served compliment to an excellent woman. It was entitled " AltruisticFaith," and for her illustration she took Chedidja, first wife of Mohammed, who was rich, and much older than he was when she married him. When asked in later years why he did not put her away and take a younger, wife, he replied that he loved her best because she believed in him when all men. despised him. Chedidja's faith made Mohammed. There is faith in God, faith in self, and in humanity. The first produces the others. Faith in humanity believes that life is worth living and worth savin?. You will have much hunger and thirst, will crave a'lection when the bloom of youth is supplanted by the ashen hue of age : will cry aloud for help in infirmities, must needs come, because those on -Whom women rely, though themselves powerless to relieve them of their intolerable aches, pains, pro-t rations, sleepless nights of agony,, and days of distress, because of tiie narrowness their code and the self ishness of their purpose, rest ruin them from resorting to those agencies whiuh may lift women to a plane of greater use fulness, and to a nobler life. Many a woman lacks the faith of Che didja. If they had taith in their own re serve of physical power, confidence in the personal experience of others would follow; and instea 1 of a race of suffering mortals, slaves to the prejudices of those whose only Interest in them is bounded by their professional fees we should see-nobility of station reinforce;l by nobility of mind, and robustness of life. The power to rid themselves of the aches. paius and desperate despair which afflict them, is in women, and ought to come out. You all have a countless amount of testimony.'' Some one will say to you, " Go on, and you will conquer." " How?" Do as ycur sisters have done I Have faith iu their indisputable experi ences. We want, more life and fuller, and need all the help we can get. Man would fail were it not for the Chedidjas- There is much in good digestion to kep a woman sweet and lovable. There is moro in thorough action of the trreat blood ouri fying organs the liver aud kidneys, for if they are deranged women cannohave the phvtu comfort so craved and prayed tor. To secure this, the help they need the help that thousands have already used and to which they say they owe all they possess is Warner's safe cure. Mrs. Maria C. Treadwell, Stamford, Conn. (President of the .Sl.-.te Woman's Christian Temperance Ur.ioni a well known leader, says ' it hi the only thing which seemed to reach my rase.' These unprejudiced thousands have blessed the world because thev have become C'hedidjas, who have felt it their duty to declare their own faith and to inspire their sisters witn connuence in the extraordinary up-buudmg energy ot this wonderful discovery. Miss Cleveland has evidently an origi nal and fertile mind, and we are indebted to her interesting lecture, a few thoughts from which-we have copied. for a text o Jt of which the above suggestions have grown. .

When the drought came on his corn and cotton were affected by it. He gathered two bales of cotton and two wagon loads of corn. The latter he penned up for his own use and the cotton was sold. When his landlord called for his share he was told that there was none for him. He was thunderstruck and asked: " Didn't I rent you the land for a third of the crop?" " Yes, boss,'' said the darkey, " but you see dere was no third. Dere was only two bales of cotton aud two loads corn; all mine and nuflin' for you by de contract."
