CRACKING BILLIARD BALLS.
IreaUih Reaalta of Bllziard Weather on tlie Ivory Globes. Dudley Kavanagh, the champion of billiards in the days of the supremacy of the old four ball American game, talking the other night about the liability of ivory billiard balls to crack if not carefully protected from cold drafts, recited this nmusing iucidont: "About 80 years ago, when I kept a billiard room in Fulton street, I got out a box of ivories one winter morning to do some practicing before my ^nstomera would arrive. I hud been playing for about five minutes, when I undertook to make a sharp drive with the spot ball. I struck it fairly in the middle, tho cue going clean through tho ball, knocking out what t.he experts call the 'heart' or conter of tho ball. It got chilled and had cracked all around the conter. The ball was ruined for regular playing purposes, but 1 bad heaps of fun with it afterward. I explained to cortain of my customers, who were jovial sort of fellows, fond of a joke, that we could make a joker of the crackorl ball. "I found when 1 replaced tlie 'heart' that ilie ball had all the appearance of a sound one, and that the 'heart' would remain in place until the ball was struck sharply. These customers, who were aware of tho secret, would come in occasionally with other friends and start a game. When tho proper time came, tho man who had been selected as the victim of the joke would bo engaged in conversation with one of the players, while another would slyly remove one of tho sound balls when tho victim wasn't looking and replace it with the cracked ivory. 'It's your turn, George,' ono of the jokers would cry out, and then the victim played. Sometimes on the very first stroke tho player would knock the loose
and tho exhibition by the scholars and' 'heart' out of place, and pinion tho bail
ou the tip of his cue. The shot generally astonished the spectators. Then they would roar with laughter aud applaud with enthusiasm. The maker of the mysterious shot was always the most bewildered man iu the establishment. He would examine the pinioned ball closely and then scrutinize the dislodged 'heart.' 'Well, George,' they told him laughingly, 'there isn't a professional alive who could beat that shot. It's the greatest on record.' "It was many, many months before that cracked ball ceased to be a source of wonder and amusement to the down town business men."
Since Dudley's days in Fulton Btreet, the same accident has occasionally happened, and Sexton, Tim Flynn, George Slosson and Maurice Daly each have "heartless billiard balls, which they keep as curiosities. Flynn's specimen had tne "heart" knocked out of it in a game of 1C ball pool, where tbo player burst tho pyramid in the effort to pocket three balls or more on the opening stroke.—New York Sun.

Webster's Dictionary of 1865 confirms this statement, nnd mentions that 'dof' is common in England. The same dictionary refers to the rhymes of Chaucor aud Watts to show that the early pronunciation was 'deef' in England also.''

The new English dictionary, edited by J. A. H. Murray, thus treats of the pronunciation of deaf ("def'): "The original diphthong remains in northern & household word, dialects. In standard English tho vowel was long until tho modern period, and so late as ]7]7-8, it was rhymed with 'relief,' by Prior aud Watts. Tho pronunciation ('dif,' with 'i' long,) is etill widely diffused dialectically, and in tho United States. In many English dialects the ea is still diphthongal, 'deeaf.' "—Boston Journal.

Insulted Over tho Wire.
A telegraph operator on one of the morning papers recently told mo a good ttory of how he got rid of a too frequent risitor, whose nightly calls during business hours had come to be a nuisance. Tho intruder was also an operator, but was temporarily out of a job. Olio evening ho camo in as usual and plauted himself in a chair. Receiving no answers to his questions, ho lapsed into silence and listened to the steady click of the instrument. Suddenly a look of disgust crossed his fare. He arose, glared at the operator, who kept on writing, turned on his heel and walked out. This happened a week ago, and he has not called since. What was the cause of his sudden departure? That is easily answered. In response to a previous roquest, tho operator at the other cud of the lino sent this message, "Is that idiot with you again tonight?"—Syracuse Post.
