L WHEN MEN MADE TREMENDOUS WAGERS It is common knowledge among those close to baseball that for years there has been a_great deal of betting, minding to the New York Herald. The open kind, the little wagers that were loudly made in the grand- stand,,: were annoying; but they had no par- ticularly bad effect on the reputation of professional baseball. Mr. Snooks rising to bet Mr, Whozis $5 that the Giants would beat the Pirates, was a' nuisance to the spectators near hint, but nobody suspected Snooks of bringing undue pressure -to bear on the Pittsburg players in the interest of his pocket. Baseball betting became dangerous to the -national sport when it became big. '-Yet it is probable that the ear- liest of the big •bettbrs were innocent of any attempt to effect crooked deals. They were men of • the type who, like the Chinese, must gamble on something. The stock market, the horse races, whist, even faro and roulette when these were available, were the diversions df rich men who eventually, perhaps beginning with a healthy interest in baseball, began to bet tens of thousands on the 'games, the .season and the world series. Betting on baseball by men who would never be suspected of try- ing to "fix" a game has been 'growing as almost every form of gambling has -grown in the last two or three years; and when the gambling crooks saw the size of the baseball wagers and realized that there were men in New York and may. be in other cities who were betting $100,000 on, a team to win the pennant of its league and an- other 4100,000 that the team would take the world series -then there doubtless rose a fever . to get into a game where there was big play and little `danger from the police. It is rather a tribute to the Ameri- can turf that although the betting has been extraordinary heavy in the last couple of years, there have been few whispers of jockeys, that were fixed or horses that were "not try- ing." Many men of new fortunes, who found( sudden wealth early in the war and added to it during the period of inflation and extravagance, found an escape value for their pe- cuniary exuberance at the race track. Business men of a type which once bet $50 on a race began to lay $5,000 or more with the bookmakers. The professional plungers, While not in- creasin •, so much in numbers, •im-4 creased in the size of their betting. Years ago it, was a nine -day wonder when a. Pittsburg Phil or a Dwyer bet $25,000 on a race. Later, in the time of Gates and Drake, the bet of $20,000 and +$30,000 not only were a sensation at the track, but were pro- ductive of such unfavorable comment that the Jockey Club took action. Really great bets were so infre- quent that a turf follower knew them by heart. When_ Clark; a former Corporation Counsel of . New York, bet nearly $100,000 on Banastar, only to see his horse left at the post, it provided a year's gossip. The late Senator McCarren, betting $80,000 on his •filly Ocean Tide, was the tar- get of every eye in the 'clubhouse. "When Qceare Tine was beatexi•, a nose;" said Little Tim Sullivan, "Mc- Carren said nothing and looked noth- ing; but he i swallowed his chewing gum." Nowadays bets like those of Clark and McCareen are duplicated every week, if not oftener. The bet- ting is private and therefore is con- sidered to be beyond the law. After all, these big gamblers of to -day are rather small fry as com- pared with the powdered bucks of England- in the Georgian years, In his youth Admiral Harvey, who fought at Trafalgar, lost £100,000 to the Irish gambler O'Birne. "I 'shall sell my estates and pay you," said the young ensign. "Give me £10,000/' said O'Birne, "and I will go you one cast of the dice for £90,000." Har- vey won the throw. Five inen, in- cluding ' Lords Thanet and Granville, lost £100,000 to William Crockford at one sitting. And in that day £100,- 000 was about equivalent in value to $1,500,000 in these days. Charles James Fox did not shine in the de- bate on the Thirty-nine Articles in 1772 because- he spent the hours he should have devoted to sleep and study in playing hazard; he and his brother Stephen lost' £32,000 in three nights. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ONE GOES ON HUNGER STRIKE Irish hunger striking is reviving memories of the suffragettes in Eng- land, when hunger striking first be- came a weapon `in the hands of politi- cal prisoners, as distinct from criminal prisoners who have never used this baffling maneuver to puzzle their captors. Hunger striking was used by con- scientious objectors during the war to some extent, but in the main its re- vival in Ireland will be thought of in connection with the `;cat and mouse episode of the suffragettes. In these cases, it will be remembered, suffra- gettes imprisoned for =political crimes such as smashing wipdows, etc., went. on hunger strike immediately they were in jail, and when forcible feeding became too revolting a process for public opinion to stand, they were released on parole. They went at once into a convales- cent home to regain their strength and immediately -they were strong enough, were at once rearrested and at once began a second hunger strike. These tactics were kept up indefinitely and constituted the first use on a wide scale of hunger striking. - "How long can a man hunger strike and live?" This is a natural question occur- ing to anyone who has watched the recent employment in; Ireland on a wide scale of this most embarrassing of replies to political imprisonment. Experiments show that a man can fast for several weeks without risk- ing death. Three provisions are neces- sary before this statement can be made without qualification: The man must be healthy, he must be given wetter to drink, he must be kept warm. Lack of- water very quickly causes [ON`&ITON RHEUMATISM fOR OVERl6 YEARS No Return Of - The Trouble Since Taking "Fruit-a4lves" 103 Omen= Sr., MONTREAL.

As the fluids in the body become less and less, thirst becomes more and more, intolerable until the body becomes one cry for water. A genuine thirst strike 'could not last a .week. The absence of food is quite another story, however. Professional starving men declare that it is only during the first few days of fasting that the de- mands .of hungerimperative. are When that period is passed a feeling of indifference supervenes, and the desire for food disappears and does not recur for the remainder of. the fast. In short, the pangs of hunger are short lived, while the pangs of thirst are eternal and become abso- lutely unbearable. The hunger striker can 'endure ab- stinence from fod a much longer time if he be kept warm. Cold air, draughts or inefficient clothing will necessarily shorten the period of safe starvation. Just as we require a big; ger fire in a room in cold weather than in warm to maintain a constant temperature, so the fire of the body which keeps us warm must burn more brightly in cold surroundings. A fire cannot burn more brightly unless it ss supplied with more fuel. Thus the fasting man' who is exposed to cold must use his stock of fuel rapidly, and thereby his supply will be the sooner exhausted.. Two extra blank- ets may double a man's power of fasting. But what is the fuel that he burns? It js his own body which burns. When the fast begins, he is burning his fat. The fat becomes exhausted and he turns to another, source of supply. The muscles of the limbs are next thrown into the fire that burns within him. Observe that neither the fat nor the limb muscles are necessary to life, an it is for that reason. that they are hosen._. - °:And • as long as there rem ins; any sufficient supply of 'fuel inft non -vital organs, his life is not in, But ',at when this anger.. ast, the stage is' reached supply begins to fail, and it becomes necessary - to go to the heart and ))`rain for further fuel. Here is the dao r point. Man cannot live at all whe the heart and brain are thus attached and damaged. The fire of life will flicker -fail -flicker once more -and finally be extinguished in that darkn ss men call death. The entire subject has been gone into thoroughly by medical experts. Several instances of- very long fasts, conducted for experimental purposes, are recorded. d d. Jacquesundertook unde to ok a voluntary fast of 30 days at Edin- burgh in 1880, and in London one of 42 days in 1890, and of 50 in 1891. Sacci fasted 40 days in. 1890. Besides the physiology of hunger striking has been carefully studied in dogs, cats•. and others of the lower animals. To understand the conditions, doctors say, it must be' remembered that the energy required in the body is, under normal conditions, supplied • by the various organic foodstuffs which, en- tering the body in -the condition of large and complex chemical molecules, THIS WOMAN'S MISERY Ended by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Re- markable Recovery of Mrs. Church. Smiths Falls, Ont. -"i suffered with falling of my organs, pains around xny heart and in bowels and down my legs, neuralgia in my face and head, and that terrible sinking feeling. I felt that I could not live and would fix my house in order every night so there would be no trouble if I dropped off in the night. My husband went to the druggist to get the best remedy he had and he gave him Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- pound. I took six bottles and felt a lot better.

During hunger striking it ie by the disintegration of the tissues of the body that the neeesary energy ' is yielded. This energy is required not only for the production of mechanical work done by the body, but also for the production, of heat, so that the temperature of the body may be main- tained. , - Whenever, therefore, muscular exer- tion is severe, or when the individual is exposed to cold and has to produce large amounts of heat, .thea more 'en- rgy must be forthcoming, and hence ssue waste is hnormously increased. Whereas, if complete rest is main- tained, and the hunger striker is kept surrounded by air at a temperature approaching that of the body, the waste of tissue substance is reduced to a min'imuni. From this ' it will be seen that the amount of energy employed in main- taining the temperature of the body mast be very much 'greater in warm-, blooded than in cold-blooded animals. Indeed in the latter class where the temperature is at the most only a few degrees above that of the surrounding atmosphere, waste of tissue for the production of heat is practically in abeyance. The same may also be said of hibernating animals which may be regarded during their winter sleep sts cold-blooded, For this reason, and 13'6 -- cause cause during certain periods their movements are by no means active, - cold -blooded animals can endure very long periods of inanition. In the case of. some months and even apparently years may pass without a cessation of the vital processes. When we come to _eonsider the physiologyof hunger striking more closely, we find that the amount of waste of the various tissues of .the body is by no -means equal.

HOW TO SELECT A GOOD •KNIFE Picking a good ' packet knife 'on razor, . is an art known- only to a -few. Even the experienced cutlery buyer is taken in occasionally. But there is an old rule that the better the polish the better also the blade. Not only does the lower grade steel not take as high a polish as the high 'grade article, but it would not pay the makers to expend upon inferior steel all the work and time that is required to give to the blade the fine' polish associated only with the best. Good steel i' not only •hard but it has also an energy of its own. The cutting ability of a knife, a razor or a pair -of shears is derived from the fineness of the edge. A fine edge can be produced only of steel that is full of life and springiness because the blade must not only cut but must select the most suitable spot for en- tering the' material. A high class razor cubs the beard without bending the finest hair, an inferior razor pulls the hair before cutting it, hence the unpleasantness connected with its use. High class steel has a voiceof its owe. The finest tuning forks of olden# days were°made of -the best steel pos- sible. So the blade of a knife will speak to you when you are able to understand. its voice. , BER 920.

Not all the noises made by the wind, however, are. made in this way. The wind is blowing against things makes them vibrate like the strings of a piano or violin, and when things vibrate, as we have already • seen, they produce sound waves, which when they strike our ears, produce sounds of various kinds. The wind even on ordinary days makas the tele- graph and telephone wires hum, as you can prove to yourself • by placing your ear against a telegraph pole. Why do I sneeze? You sneeze sometimes when you look up at the There does sun or at a bright -light. not seem to be any real good explax-i- . tion of why looking at a bright light should make you sneeze. It is due to the connection there is between the nerves of the eyes and the nose. You generally blink if you look at a bright light suddenly, and the blinking pro- cess stirs the `nerves inside- of the nose to make you sneeze. THE REASON WHY `Why .does it l urt when I'cut my finger ?-It burst when you cut your finger -or, rather, where you cut it - because the place you have cut is ex- posed to the oxygen in the air, and as soon as it is so -exposed a chemical action begins to take place, just as when you cut an apple and lay it aside you come back and find the cut surface all turned brown. - If the apple could . feel it would hurt al- so, because the chemical action is muchthe same. The apple has a skin which protects its inside from the oxy- gen in the air, and you also have 'a skin which protects you from the oxy- gen as long as it is unbroken. What happens, of course, is this: When you cut your finger you sever the tiny little veins and nerves which are in your; finger. They are spread all over your body like a network un- der the skin, close to the surface id i lost places. The nerves when cut send a quick message to the brain, with which they are connected, tell- ing that they are damaged, and the brain calls on - the heart and other functions to get busy and repair the damage along the line. There -may be some hurt while this process of repairing is going on, but the princi- pal part of your hurt, outside of what we call your feelings, is due to the fact that the' inside of you is thus exposed to the chemical action. of the air. Then I can hear you say next: Why don't my hair hurt when it is being cut? It does not hurt to cut anything that has no nerves. There are no nerves in the hair which the barber cuts. If he pulls out a hair it hurts, because the foot of the hair has nerves, which telegraph notice of the damage to the brain. When - a dentist takes out or kills the -.nerves in your tooth you cannot have any more toothache in that tooth, because' here is no nerve there to send the message to the brain. You can eut- your finger nails without feeling pain, because they have no nerves at the ends, but underneath, where they join the skin of the forefinger, there are a great many nerves, and it hurts very much to bruise the nails at that location. . What- causes the wind's whistle? The whistle of the wind is caused very much like the whistle you make with your mouth or the noise made by the steam escaping through the spout of the kettle. You do not hear the wind whistle when you are out in it. You can hear it when you are in the house and the wind is blowing hard. - When the wind blows against the house it tries to get in through all the crevices, under the cracks of the doors, down the chimneys, where - ever it finds an opening that is too small for it, it makes a noise like the - steam coining out of the spout of the kettle, provided the opening is of a You know,' of course, that the start of the sneeze is inside of your nose. The nose is, - besides being the organ of smell, the channel through •which we take air into the lungs, when we breathe properly. The nose is - lined with membranes back of _ which are a net of very small nerves which are extremely sensitive. The membranes are placed there to catch and hold the impure particles of, matter which come into the nose when we take in a breath of air, and sneezing is only one effective way of cleaning out the nose. It is brought on only when some par- 'ticularly difficult job of nose -cleaning has to be done. Pepper up the nose will make you sneeze quickly, because pepper produces a very great irrita- tion inside the nose, and the nose goes to work at o.vice to get rid of it the quickest possible manner as soon as the pepper comes in. Other things have the same effect. Sometimes a cold in the head causes you to sneeze. The sneeze in that event is merely nature's effort to clean out the nose when other efforts have failed. -From the Book of Wonders, published and copyrighted by the bureau of indus- trial education, incorporated, Wash- ington, D.
