MAKING BILLIARD BALLS. Few Men C«i>alile of lenrnlnK TliU Peculiar Trade. Few men are competent to turn a billiard ball, and tie business is exacting more shill than ever before in the history of ivory turning, for the reason that never before in the history of the lathe was it so easy for an unskilled workman to eat up his salary in a wasteful manner of cutting aud turning. A first class billiard ball must be two and three-eighths inches in diameter, absolutely round to the five thousandths part of an inch, free from “barky” outside aud sand cracks, of live ivory, white aud clear. In order to make a selection of a tusk’s possibilities— alwmys to get three balls of this regulation size aud clearness from a tusk weighing from 75 to 130 pounds, allowing for the hollow portions and avoiding the enamel and sand cracks—here is the art of the competent ivory turner, for which he is greatly underpaid and underappreciated. The making of a billiard ball involves headwork and handwork. There is no automatic lathe combination that ever will turn out a perfect billiard bail however it may produce the pool ball in its irregularity of form. But before the trained band can make ready to turn out the perfect sphere of the billiard ball the trained eye aud judgment of the turner will have been taxed to their best effort. In the first place the man will need to recognize the quality of ivory. He must know whether it be of the best quality. as w*ell as of the most economical form in the tusk. Aud when he has made his purchase of the best possible material, a single drat'ty window in his shop when the mercury is 10 degrees above zero may ruin bis ivory stock in five minutes. Zanzibar and the general west coast of Africa produce the best elephant ivory, while the Siberian ivory from the dead mastodon is the least valu able, yet requiring good judgment to distinguish it in many cases. This “dead” ivory from Siberia is less valuable in a ball than is the composition of celluloid and bone dust. The tusk of the African elephant will run from seventy-five pounds to 13J pounds. But no two tusks, even of the same weight, present like possibilities in ball making. One tusk may be blunt and short, while the other is th.u aud running to a sharp point. In a geucral way, however, a tusk that weighs 150 pounds will be about five feet six inches long. Its general structure is that of the cow’s horn, running from a shell at the base, gradually thickening until the hollow disappears, a little short of half the tusk's length. From this ending of the hollow the tusk tapers sharply until, if it makes three billiard balls of standard size and best quality, it is all that may be expected of it for that purpose. This means that a little less than eight inches of the tusk's length Is available. llow to dispose of the remainder of it to the best advantage, leaving only a few ounces to loss, is the chief business of the ivory worker. Cutting a tusk for the three ball blocks is a job in itself. In the first place, the length of the hollow cannot be certain; also the outside of the tusk almost certainly will have sand cracks In the enamel, and whether they be deep or shallow will be of much consequence. But. allowing for these minute cracks, which must be turned out to the last shadow from the best ball, together with the last microscopic trace of the enamel, the first block for the ball is cut as close as possible to the point of the tusk. After this first block Is cut to the last limit of economy the others may be cut comparatively easily.—Chicago Tribune.

A Popular Story. People who find it tiresome to read a book more than once will scarcely credit the story which Is told of one of the Scilly isles. The entire library of this little Island consisted, a century or more ago, of a single copy of the “History of Dr. Faustus.” As most of the inhabitants were able to read, provided words were not too difficult, the conjurer’s, story had been handed from house to bouse, until from perpetual thumbing very little of his enchantments or his catastrophe was left legible. When this alarming state of things became evident, a meeting of the principal inhabitants was called to discuss what could be done to remedy It, for the people must have something to read. A l roposal was made and carried that a --on as the season permitted any ii v CO urse with Cornwall a supply of b i iks should be ordered. The question arose what these books should be, but at last it was settled amicably that an order should be transmitted to Penzance for another copy of the “History of Dr. Faustus.” and then the meeting joyously broke up. Cooking Snails. Escargots are at their best when taken in the vineyards at the end of March and the be 'inning of April. They live on the shoots of the vines and during the winter bury themselves in the ground, during which time they are purged of all gross humors before they return to enjoy themselves in the fields in the spring. Cooking these snails is not an easy matter. They are drawn from the she’!, ’ ieh is then carefully scrubbed am washed. Their heads are cut off, and ( v are well soaked in salt and water, t n returned to the shell, which is stoj -ed with parsley bii ’er and laid to simmer in a hot dish ever the fire. TLoagh there may be <wo opinions about the flavor of the escargot, there is no doubt that both in taste and substance it is an edible unlike any other known. The Wiltshire people, especially the population of Swinton. eat the large garden snails as a common dainty. They are sold I t the market like periwinkles. ?• i’ng ■along ihe hanks and hedgM’oi s a popular amusement In winffi-

■ft* -j is fast superseding old-fashioned cod liver oil and * IIIgI emulsions because* without a urop of oil or disagreeable feature, it contains all the metli ' nal elements of cod liver oil, actually taken from fresb cods’ livers. By our process the oil, having no value either as a medicine or food, is separated from the medicinal elements and thrown away. Unlike old-fashioned cod liver oil and emulsions, Vinol is deliciously palatable, agreeable to the weakest stomach, and therefore unequaled as a body builder and strength creator for old people, puny children, weak, run-down men and women, after sickness, and for all pulmonary diseases. Everything Vinol contains is named on the label* OUR GUARANTEE —We have such faith in VINOL that if you will take it we promise if it does not benefit or cure you we will return you your money without question.

Hoarding? a flnnscm. Have you ever noticed the right way to get into a hansom when two people are riding? Few persons know what to do. In nine cases out of ten the one who enters first seats himself on the off side. But this Is wrong. If, on getting in first, you take the near seat, your companion can then enter in ease aud comfort, which otherwise be could not To Waterproof Cantan. Scientific American gives this recipe for waterproofing for canvas: Soft soap dissolved in hot water and a solution of iron sulphate added. The sulphuric acid combines with the potash ol the soap and the iron oxide is precipitated with the fatty acid as insoluble iron soap. This is washed and dried and mixed with linseed oil. Hate All Around. The famous English Chief Justice Ho.: and his wife hated each other to the limit, and when she fell dangerous ly ill he was so delighted that ue became disgracefully tipsy. Rut his wife was equal to the emergency and sent for the great Dr. Radeliffe, who hated Holt, aud therefore out of spite when the case was presented to him came with great promptness and saved her life.—London Chronicle. Horrible Example. “Maw, what is a horrible example?” asked the youngest boy, looking up from his newspaper. The eldest boy stopped his figuring long enough to say, “Wait till you get into algebra, and you'll find any amount of ’em.” Chances a word void of sense. Nothing can exist without a cause.—Tok talre.
