Perhaps a better title would have been How a Girl Doesnt Throw because It la well known that a girl cannot propel a ball or anything else like a boy Most people and all boys conclude that this defect arises from cjumslness but that is a mistake The difference between a girls throw ing and a boys Is substantially this The boy crooks his elbow and Teaches back with the upper part of his arm about at a right angle of forty live degrees The direct act of throw ing Is accomplished by bringing the arm back with a sort of snap working every joint from shoulder to wrist The girl throws with her whole nrm rigid the boy with his whole arm re laxed Why this marked and unmis takable difference exists may be ex plained by the fact that the clavicle or collar bone in the feminine anatomy is some Indies longer and set some de grees lower down than in the mascu line frame The long crooked awk ward bone Interferes witli the full and free use of the arm This is the rea son why a girl cannot throw a stone First Victory of the Revolution The Importance of the assault upon Fort William and Mary is generally overlooked by historians The demon strations against various British armed vessels beginning with the firing upon the schooner St John in July 1704 as well as the battle of Alamance In North Carolina in 1771 were essential ly local and were so far removed from the Revolutionary period that they pro duced no appreciable effect upon the war Itself The Boston massacre was the repulse of a mob by a squau of British regulars but at Fort Wil liam and Mary the royal standard was lowered for the first time and the gun powder taken therefrom was burned by the patriots at Bunker Hill The king recognized in the daring assault the inevitability of the Impending struggle There Is truth In the claim set forth on the tablet on the old Fort Constitution of today that the site marks the first victory of the Amer ican Revolution Army and Navj Life A Pretty Warm Fish A well known fisherman was fishing for perch and was seated along the edge of a lake near the roots of a large tree which was a favorite spot for the perch Luck had been only fair and he was debating on the ques tion of hauling in the line and going home when there came a powerful tug He knew that he had a huge fish and straggled vigorously for twenty minutes before he landed his prize It was a sunfish one of the largest he had ever seen He landed it on the bank and then he noticed that the rays from the fish were so powerful that he was almost blinded and the grass In the vicinity was shriveled up by the heat A few minutes later the man fell over He had been sunstruck by the sunfish and was beyond hope Phil adelphia American Startling A gentleman opened a letter address ed to his son containing suggestions from a friend to the latter for a novel which he the son was privately writ ing The father was exceedingly sur prised and frightened upon reading the following dreadful words Dear Bob You really must show

Shore of the Gulf of Mexico An Indian legend of the Pascagoulas Is told by the fishermen and oyster men down on the shores of the gulf of Mexico A point reaches out into the gulf near the mouth of the Pascagoula riv er The pine trees on it come almost to the waters edge and between lies a strip of white sand across a marsh a border of light green swaying and rustling grasses and beyond a gray cypress swamp the hanging moss of the trees swaying in the wind To the soutli the blue waters of the gulf stretch away with little waves lap ping on the chalk white clam shells of the shore There in the evening during the short twilight one hears soft music as if it were the notes of a violin insist ent changing sweet It Is the song of the Pascagoulas Long j ears before the Pascagoula Indians had lived upon this point The white men the Spaniards came in numbers and with them the hostile warriors of other tribes to make war and to drive the Pascagoulas out of the country Coming from the inland the enemy took away all chance of fight and hedged them in on the point The Pascagoulas fought for days and nights In the dark pine woods against outnumbering foes Then they saw that all was useless that they could not overcome and starvation stared them In the face The Pascagoulas called a council of the tribe and talked long together To give themselves up meant lives of slavery or death and to fight to the last man was to leave the women and children to the mercy of the white men and their allies The next morning the Tascagoulas put on all their paint and trappings and burned their wigwams The men women and children slowly deliber ately unflinchingly backed step by step Into the water behind them sing ing Not one faltered They died with their faces toward their enemies brave and free and now In the even ing when the wind blows over the marshes the pines and grasses sing the song of the Pascagoulas New York Post THE LAND OF WORSHIP The East Believes Too Utterly to Care if Others Disbelieve Prayer pervades the east Far off across the sands when one is travel ing In the desert one sees thin min arets rising toward the sky A deserl city is there It signals its presence by this mute appeal to Allah And where there are no minarets in the great wastes of the dunes in the eter nal silence the lifelessness that is not broken even by any lonely wandering bird the camels are stopped at the ap pointed hours the poor and often rag ged robes are laid down and the brown pilgrims prostrate themselves in pray er And the rich man spreads his car pet and prays and the half naked nomad spreads nothing but he prays too The east is full of lust and full ol money getting and full of bartering and full of violence but it is full oi worship of worship that disdains con cealment that recks not of ridicule oi comment that believes too utterly to care it others disbelieve There are In the east many men who do not pray They do not laugh at the man who does like the unpraying Christian There is nothing ludicrous in prayer In Egypt your Nubian sailor prays in the stern of your dahabiyeh and youi Egyptian boatman prays by the ruddei of your boat and your black donkey boy prays behind a red rock in the sand and your camel man prays when you are resting in the noontide watch ing the faroff quivering mirage lost in some wayward dream And must you not pray too when you enter certain temples where once strange gods were worshiped in whom no man now believes Robert Hichens in Century Scared by Frogs It is said to be owed to the frogs ol western Australia that that part of the empire is English and not French About 1S00 a party of prospective French colonists landed on the west coast of Australia but on the first morning they were alarmed by the loud croaking of the frogs which they took for demons and retired with all speed to their ships Western Austra lia might have preferred the frog tc the swan as her emblem just as Rome might have preferred instead of the eagle the goose that saved the capital In His Line Im surprised that you should be so interested in watching those silly dudes Force of habit I guess Im presi dent of a real estate improvement
