percentage of. 933. Collins of the Louis-
villes is next, with a percentage of ”909

first, helped in 190 and has 32 errors.
Nash of Boston and Davis of New York

has taken part in 80 games, put out 120
men, had 175 assists and 35 errors. Glass-
cock, who played with Louisville and
Washington, but retired early in the sea-

shortstop. He took part in 38 games, had
79 put cuts, 149 assists and 21 errors. His
percentage is .956. Jennings of the Bal-
timores, who comes second, really has the
best record. He has taken part in 131

in 131 games, 57 more than Hassamer,
and in these games put out 247 men, had
17 assists and 10 errors.
Strongest Possible Teams.
According to these records it will be '
seen that the strongest fielding team would
be made up of the following players: Tay-
lor, pitcher; Tenney, catcher; 0. Tebeau,
first base; Lowe: second base; Cross (Phil-
adelphia), third base: Jennings, short-
stop; Kelley, left field; Griifin, center
field; Keeler, right field. .
In batting this would be the best team:
Hawley, pitcher; Clements, catcher, O.
Tebeau, first base; Truby, second base;
McGraw, third base; Jennings, shortstop;
Delehauty, left field; Hamilton, center
field; Thompson, right field. Hamilton of
Philadelphia has the best base running
- record, as he has stolen 89 bases. Keeler
of the Baltimores went to but the most-
times. He toed theplz. be 574 times. Ham-
ilton also made the most time, having 165 '
to his credit.
Burkett of the Clevelands made the
most base hits. having 233,10 his credit.
Thompson of the Philadelphias hit‘ for the
largest total number of: 1111393, as his hits
were good for 348 bases. Delehanty of the
same team made the: most two hase'hits,
49, while Thompsbn and Cooley of the ,St.
' Louis team each ril‘ade 21 three buggers.
Thompson made the most home runs,
18. Jennings of tho Bultimores made the
most sacrificehits, 41 in .number.~ Ham-
ilton got his base on balls more times
than any other player, having reached
4 first 32 times in that way.

The Scheme of a Chicago Man to Beat the
Railroads on Baggage.
'A callerdropped into the Brightside
flat and found Mr. and Mrs. Brightside
and their wise little terrier, Ming, all
Mr. Bright-
ger in the end of a good sized packing
box, while Mrs. Bright‘side and the dog, .
seated side by side on the floor, regard-
ed him with intense though possibly
hypocritidal admiration. Near by stood
another packing box with four holes in
each end, through which hops of strong
rope had been so fastened as to make
good, serviceable handles.
“This is about the greatest crisis of
my life,” observed Mr. Brightside.
“How do you suppose I got that rope in
without opening the box? Just figure on
it now. ” ‘
’As the caller belongs to the sex which
has never produced a great epic poem,
discovered a continent or voted for the
governor of Illinois, she gave up the
problem with a cheerful meekness born
of centuries of acknowledged incapaci-
‘ty. Mr. Brightside, having finished bor-
ing, produced a. bent wire and apiece
of string, one end of which was fasten-
ed to a few feet of rope. With the wire
he proceeded to insert the string into,
one hole and wiggle it out another. By
means of the string the rope was then
towed into position, the whole process
ending triumphantly in another pair of
handles. .
“But what are you doing it for?” '
“He’ 8 making trunks,” explained
Mrs. Brightside. “It’s his latest spe-
cialty. ’ ’ '
“The only trouble with me,” said Mr.
Brightside, with apparent irrelevance,
“is that I’m lazy.”
“But what on top of the prairie are,
you making trunks out of packing boxes
for? Cui bono, you know. ”
“To save freight. I’m sending them
to a friend in Wisconsin, you see. I’ve
got some other friends starting out there
tonight, and if these things have han-.
dles on they can take them as baggage.
Otherwise the railway company won’t
let them. Can your female mind assim-
ilate that fact? Taking it by and large,”
he added modestly, “it’ s a beautiful
piece of work.”
The caller joined the intent audience
on the floor and contemplated ‘Mr.
[Brightside ’with wonder, love and praise.
It was pleasing to find any one clever
enough to get ahead of a railroad com~
puny—Chicago Tribune.
MAKING TOYS.
The Art Dcscending From One Generation
to Another In St. Ulrich.
Miss Amelia B. Edwards, in her ”Un-
trodden Peaks,” mentions many an in-
teresting visit to the. homes of the work-
ing people of St. Ulrich, where so many
toys are made.
In one house, runs the account, we
found an old, old woman at work, Mag-
dalena Paldauf by name. She carved
cats, dogs, wolves, sheep, goats and ele-
phants. She has made those six animals
her whole life long, and she has no idea
of how to out anything else. She makes
them in two sizes, and she turns out as
nearly as possible a thousand of them a
year.
She has no model or drawing of any
kind to work by, but goes on steadily,
unerringly, using gouges of diiferent
sizes .and shaping out her cats, dogs,
Wolves, sheep, goats and elephants with
an ease and an amount of truth to na-
ture that Would be clever if it were not
utterly mechanical. Magdalena Paldauf
learned from her mother how to carve
those six animals, and her mother had
learned, in like manner, from her grand-
mother. Magdalena has now taught the
art to her own granddaughter, and so it
will go on being transmitted for gener-
ations.
In another house Miss Edwards found
the whole family carving skulls and
crossbones for fixing at the bases of
crucifixes, for the wood carving of Grod-
ner Thai is religious in its nature as
well as amusing. In other houses there
were families that carved rocking horses
or dolls or other toys, and in still other
houses there were families of painters.
In one house we found about a doz-
en girls painting gray horses with black
points. In another house they painted
only red horses with white points. It is
a separate branch of the trade to paint
saddles and headgear. A good hand will
paint 12 dozen horses 8. day, each horse
being about a foot in length, and for
these she is paid 55 soldi, or about 2s. 8d.
Cyrus Field as a Host.
Happening to be a visitor in the
Washington buildmg- recently and. pass-
ing the old office of Cyrus FieldI—recall-
ed the day the house was opened to the
public. Mr. Field was extremely proud
of it. He had invited 200 or 300 friends
to a". banquet on the roof and stood at
the open hatchway to welcome all who
came. It was late when up walkedl a
man of middle age who had never seen
Cyrus Field in his life and had not only
not received an invitation to the ban-
qfiet, but knew nothing about such an
adult. He was merely looking around
,the building.
, “You are just the man we all are
waiting in; said Mr. Field, holding
out She (1 With a» merry laugh.
“Come right along. flefeastisready. ”
Before the man could ask for an ex-
plantation the host had hurried him
along to one of the most conspicuous
seats at the board and ordered the best
in the hooks for him. He had a knack
of making every one feel perfectly at
h me; His end was very pitiful—New

The hoarse shouts of the, mob indicated
that the fell work Was done
' "Stole a horse, I presume,” ventured
the tenderfoot, gesturing in the direc-
tlon of the deceased. '
“Bicycle,” they rejoined, not without
revealing the pain the suggestion of the
other occasioned.
The end of the age was at hand and
rogress was Spurting in the stretch. ——
