Lady Base-Ball Players. ' -
Bt. Jxmls Spectator. ,
I have boon following with 'much in
terest the fortunes of the female base
ball players down east. Some time
since a manager hitupon the idea of or
ganizing two nines of the softer sex
eighteen examples of female loveliness
and exhibiting the combination as a
moral show about the country. The
two nines , which , by the way , arc di
vided into blonde and -
a a brunette-par
ty , have befin practicing nearly all-sum
mer , and I regret that they are not yet
ready to take the field. The female in
tellect has difficulty in grasping the na
tional pastime. A practice game was
played in New York this week , before
several thousand spectators , in which ,
in five innings , the Brunettes defeated
the Blondes oy a score of 48 to 29. One
of the features of the entertainment was
the coaching done by the crowd when
a girl made three strikes they insisted
on her making a homo run every time ,
and the girl always did. Some of them
were .encouraged to run around the
bases twice in the excitement of the
moment , and one girl was pursued put
into left field and over a fence , behind
the grounds , by the second basewoman ,
who desired to touch her with the ball.
The two came back by the front gate.
By all means wo mustr have this , show
in St. Louis ; it seems to me that it
must be even funnier than Keene's
'Hamlet. " -

A Case of Bigamy.

"How does yer new wife take to city
life ? " inquired Aunt Sukey of Gabe
Sloshing. The latter had quite recent
ly married a negro girl out in the coun
try and brought her to the city.
"I tells yer , Aunt Sukey , dat im all a
piece ob foolishness , a delusion an' a
snare , dis bringing country female nig
gers inter a big metropolis like Austin.
It's shoah ter done spile 'em. Dere's
too many fnvilties an' follies an' frip
peries fer dein to stan' it. Dey becomes
jist too vain and peacocky for any use ,
an. ' sling on mo1 style den a mule kin
draw. My two wives will be de ruina-
shunof dis niggah. "
"Your two wives , Gabe ! What does
yer mean ? Yer ain't got no two wives ,
has yer ? "
"Dat's a fac' . I 'spects ter be indict

peeled. "
"How does yer make out dat yer's

FORTY BILLION GERMS.
A Wonderful Theory that Concerns the
Welfare , Ilnpplnesn and Life
of Everyone.
In his quiet and cosy library at the
closs of a busy day sat ii gentleman and
his wife , he absorbed in a new book and
she in the newspaper. . Quickly glanc
ing toward her husband , she asked , at
a certain point in the article :
"John , what is the germ theory ? "
"The germ "theory well yes ; just
look in the encyclopedia under 'Germ , '
that will explain it so much better than
I can. "
Accordingly his wife opened the book
at the word named and read : Germ
Theory of Disease -A theory advanced
by the ablest and best mv.estigators and
scientists of the times. It supposes the
surface of the earth , the air and water
to be inhabited to a greater or less ex
tent with a peculiar growth of the low
est form of fungi commonly termed
bacteria , whose power of reproduction ,
under favorable "conditions , is so great
that a single germ will increase to fif
teen million in twenty-four hours' time ,
and unchecked in its increase would
grow to a mass of eight hundred tons in
three days' time , if space and food be
furnished. There is no condition under
which it can be said to bo absent , unless
it bo from fire or air filtered through
cotton-batting in numerous layers. A
single drop of water containing a germ
put into water boiled , filtered and thus
freed from bacteria , will grow murky in
a day or two from the development of
new germs. When it is considered that
it required about jfofty billion , to weigh
one grain , some remote idea can be had
of the' capacity of germ reproduction.
Professor John Tyndall , in a late work ,
elaborately treats of the influence of
germs in the propagation of disease and
charges upon this cause , the inception
and development of very many of the
ailments most injurious to man. Prof.
Pasteur , an eminent French savant , has
carried his original and beautiful ex
periments so far , and from them
deduced such practical results as very
greatly to diminish the number of cases
of anthrax among sheep and chicken
cholera among f owls , proving his theory
that these are essentially and actually
germ diseases. These germs are car
ried into the system through the lungs ,
the stomach and possibly the skin , but
through the lungs chiefly. Once in
the system , they begin to develop ,
poisoning the blood , invading the nerve
centers , disturbing the functional activ
ity of the great organs of the body and
inducing a general impairment of the
vital processes They are the cause of
fevers , rheumatism , Bright's disease of
the kidneys , pneumonia , blood poison
ing , liver disease , diphtheria and many
other ailments. Lately Professor Koch ,
a famous German physician , has proved
that consumption of the lungs is due
to this cause the presence of a pecu
liar germ.
When the circulation is bounding , the
nerves i elastic and the system all aglow
with life and energy , the germs seem to
develop poorly , if at all. Butwith weak
ened nerves , poor digestion , or mal-

.
ition ; navigation being rather
cry. and hazarding on 's home- Si
-anrLnre-emption rights , SiThe
principle as GIB gunix tucuiy. The
germs attack any weakened spot in the
body , and fixing themselves upon it ,
begin their propagation. It is plain
therefore that it is only by fortifying
the weak ' portions of the body that the
germs' disease can be resisted
and driven from the sys
tem. But this has proved almost an
impossibility- heretofore , and it has
*
been the study of physicians for years
how best to accomplish it. Within the
past few years , hovvever ' , a preparation
has been attracting'great attention , not
only throi. DiMii , the entire land , but
among the medical profession and
scientists generally , which is based up
on this theory , and it may safely be
said , no remedy has ever been found
which can so successfully place the sys
tem in a condition to resist the germs of
disease as Warner's Safe Cure. This
article is unquestionably the best and
most efficient that has ever been discov
ered for this purpose , and
"John , say , John , does the encyclo
pedia advertise Warner's Safe Cure. "
"I should not wonder , dear , it's a
grand remedy , and that pamphlet we
received the other day stated that Dr.
Gunn , of the United States Medical Col
lege , endorsed it. At all events the
wonderful cures it is accomplishing en
title it to be honorably n/ > ted among
the great discoveries of the present cen
tury. "
However the facts above stated may
be , the truth remains , that the germ
theory of disease is the correct one , and
that the great remedy mentioned is the
only one which has ever been found that
can put the system in a condition to kill
these germs before they obtain a hold
upon the body , and undermine the life.

Worn , Weary , and Wretched.
"As weak as a cat" is an expression frequently used by debilitated"
sufferers who are trying to tell how forlorn they feel. It is an incorrect ex
pression , for a cat is one of the most agile and vigorous animals in exist C
ence. It would be more correct to say , "as weak as a limp old rag , " for -
that gives the idea of utter inability to hold one's self up. The v/eary per
son who feels thus is generally worn , worried , woeful , and \vietched.
Sometimes it is a case of overwork , and sometimes of imperfect nour
ishment. The blood in the system of a person who is "as weak as a rag" is in
a wretchedly thin condition. It needs iron , to impart richness , redness , ,
and sticngth. This is to be had by taking BROWN'S IRON BITTERS , the
only safe and proper preparation of iron in connection with gentle and
powerful tonics. The physician and the druggist can tell the worn and weary
how valuable a remedy BROWN'S IRON BITTERS has been found in actual
every-day use. u
