MAKING OF THE BASEBALL. The induotry ; Estnbllshcd In 1858 Env ploys Hundreds of People Who Hnvo Learned Art. This is the stor.vof n baschiill. it begins with a rubber coir. Then it extends through hundreds ol yimls of wool ynni to a liornohidi cover. More Inimlrt'dH of yards ol wool yarn give the resiliency , ( ' "bounce.

To evel'.v lover of ( lie nulioiml game the following fads will beef of interest : Half a century ago I lie game of " ' ' "rounders' gave a quick eye , a \\ell developed arm , a deep chest and a licet foot to thousands of youngsters at "recess. " 1 If some of the old "yarn balls" made by mothers and grandmolh ers had been preserved tlie.\ won Itl be priceless to-day as rel ios. Those balls were "swatted" out of KlinjM' in the twinkling ol an eye. Then a "kid" cover was sewed over the yarn ball. It was cut in eighths of a circle , just .as the orange skin is divided. This wa- promptly knocked oil' in the sec > : id inning , but it gave a thiid inning for the yarn. Harrison llarwood , of Natick. was a lover of the game. He had into I ho eometliki'1 streamers and had balled "kid" covers half way across Hie "lot. " In 18.15 he designe < l a two-iiec" ] cover. II was like what is now called a "toggle" joint. In ether words , there weie two hemi spheres of leather , connected by < i narrow isthmus , into which two other hemispheres lilted snugly. This was the Hrst step. Hut the const rnel ion made it a "dead" ball. There was no "life" in it. Never theless , Mr. llarwood started a little factory in Natick in ISHS. This was the first baseball factory in the United States. The women who had made base balls for sons and grandsons were only too glad to earn "pin money" by sowing the covers on. To-day there is hardly a family of half : i century's standing in Natick whoso progenitors were not in lerested in Air. Ilarwood's ven ture. ture.And And to-day there are over I Oil families who learned the secret of sewing baseballs from parents and grandpaiontu , earning much more than a living in homes that were paid for by baseballs. VALUE OF A HEARTY LAUGH Heller Than Medicine , Declares Eng lish Physician , In Talking of Outburst pf Merriment. An English physician , in search , i of remedies for human ills , finds that laughter stands very high in the list of prophylactics. The of feet of mere cheerfulness as a ; , health promoter is well known , , hut an occasional out burst of downright laughter is the heroic remedy. It is a matter of every day experience , says our English authority , that one feels the bet tor for a good laugh , an explosion of laughter being in truth a "nerve storm , comparable in its effect tea a thunderstorm in nature , doing good by dissipating those opprcs /jive clouds of care which some times darken the mental horizon. " This authority assures us that the memorable adage , "Laugh and grow fat , " rests on a sound philo sophical basis. Portly people axe not given to laughter because they are fat ; they are fat because they laagb. , An Insignificant Palace.

' 1 The enormous increase in the production of gold with the consequent quent accumulation of the stocks ' of coin and bullion has attracted 1 rather less attention in reccnf ' years than its importance would | appear to demand , says the Louis- I ville Courier-Journal. Nevertheless - ' ' less ' the subject is not wholly neg- I lected 1 , and the estimates of pro- 1 duction I and accumulation that are put out from time to timear" more and more the subjectof com ment. There is a great discrep ancy between the statement of gold product ion and of the stocks ef gold coin in ( he principal coun tries of the world. Much of the gold produced is used in the arty , and of that coined much is lost or i educed to attrition , HO the amount of production during cen turies greatly exceeds the stocks of coin existing in the world. The amount of gold In Europe in 14DL' , the date of the discovery of America , is believed not to have exceeded $ ii ! > fi,0 < )0,0)0 ) ( ) in value.

I For the Ih-Ht 2fi years after the j ! discovery of America the annual 1 production I of gold was less limit § .J,000,000. In the next quarter of a century it was in round numbers ? -l,750)00. ( ) Hy the middle of the | eighteenth century it had risen to over $1(5,000,000 ( a year. From 1801 to 1810 the average annual production was nearlyJ2,000,000. For the two decades next succeed ing there was a great falling off. From ISIM to 18-10 , the lust com plete decade before the discovery of gold in California , the annual production averaged ? ii-18J,000. : In ( ho next decade it was i'JG9- ; ? ; { , 000 , but it was lute in the deeado before the discovery of the Cali fornia mines. From J851 to ISoil the annual production showed an avoragoofijplllli.rnii.OOOand for the next period of five years of $1M- ! OS)00. ! ( ) From ISIil to 18fl ) there was a falling oil' from these fig ures , but since ( he last named year there has been a steady in crease. In 189(5 ( Iheannual produc tion for ( he llrst term exceeded $200,000,00(1being ( estimated at a trifle less than ! ? 205,000,0)0. !

The expect a ( ion 'that it will reach $ .100,000,000 in 1'Hindoos not seem unreasonable. In the pros ent century ( ho production for four years has been approximate ly $1,200,000,000 , and the present year is expected to raise it to $1 , (500,000,000. ( The world's slock of gold coin , including bullion in national treasuries which performs the functions of coin , was estimated in 187't to be $1,209,800,000 , in 1S)7 ! ) , $ l , liiOO,000. ! ) ( lly the end of the present year the total is esti mated at little short of $ (5,000,000 ( nn increase of iiQarly 50 percent in nine years.

What would you think of a young man , ambitious to beconu a lawyer , who should surround himself with a medical atmo phere and spend his ( ime reading medical books ? asks Orison Swot I Marden , in Success. Do you thim. he would ever become a great lawyer by following such a course ? No , he must put himself Into a law atmosphere , where he can absorb it and be steeped in it until he is attuned to the legal note. He must be grafted into the legal tree so that he can feel its sap cir diluting through him. How long would it take a young .man to become successful who puts himself into an atmosphere of failure and remains in it until he In soaked to saturation with the idea ? How long would it take a man who depreciates himself , talks of failure , walks like a fail ure , and dresses like a failure-- who is alwayfj complaining of tin1 insurmountable ditllcullics in his way , and whose every step is on the road to failure how long would it take him to arrive at the success goal ? Would anyone be- ieve in him or expect him to win ? The majority of failures began to deteriorate by doubting or de preciating themselves , or by los ing confidence in their own ability. The moment you harbor doubt and begin to lose faith in yourself , yon capitulate to the enemy. Every time you acknowledge weakness , inefllciency , or luck of ability , yon weaken your self-con fldcnce , and that is to undermine the very foundation of all achieve ment. So long us you carry around a failure atmosphere , and radiate doubt anil discouragement , yon will be a failure. Turn about face , cut off all currents of fall ure thoughts , of discouraged thoughts. Jioldly face your goal vith a stout heart and a deter mined endeavor , and you will find that things will change for you ; but you must see a new world be fore you can live in it. It is to what yon see , to what you believe , to what yon struggle incessantly to attain , that you will approxi mate. FIND TREASURE OF A KING Hoard of Gold , Ivory and Precious Stones Lien Hidden in African Soil. Treasure hunting continues to occupy the attention of many people ple in various parts of the world. A hoard of buried wealth not us well known as certain others is that supposed to have been se creted by Lobengulu , king of the Matabele in South Africa , before he met his death at the hands of the British. This treasure is said to consist of gold , ivory and precious cious stones. It was brought into ( he limelight of public notice no ! long ago by the arrest of a Dutch man named John Jacobs. He ur rived at Hnluwayo , told some thing of his plans , was put into what they call the "goal" and han since been deported. Lobengula succeeded his father as king of the Matabele in 1870 and boldly opposed European civ ilizution. He made Ituluwnyo his capital. After the discovery of gold in his territory in 1ST2 , Per tugul , the Transvaal and Great Hritain strove to win the supreme control over Lobengulu's king doni. In 1888 he signed a treaty with f J real Britain , admitting her suzerainty. In 1SW ! , provoked by the insolence of the British South Africa company , he attacked the English. He was terribly beaten , His capital was taken and in his flight he himself was killed. John Jacobs , the treasure seek er , was a school-teacher. He claims to have boon private secre tary to King Lobongula and that in this way he learned where the treasure was hid. The IJnlawayc authorities , however , discovered that he had u bud record' . Hencr- his deportation. Jacobs is an el derly man , bearing evidence of long exposure to wind and weather. The treasure is still tn be found. Old Age and Late Hours. A statistician aflirms that the majority of people who attain old age have kept late hours. Eight out of ton who reach the age of SO have never gone to bed till after 12 at night.
