Home Made Baseball.

A very, good home-made ball may ho evolved by taking a good-sized cork and cutting it down to the size of a large marble. Cut pieces of woolen cloth in narrow strips aud wind them around the cork until you have a ball of the required size. Cut a pair of old gloves, dogskin, buckskin, or Suede, in four quarters, shape to the ball, and stitch together wjtji a waxed linen thread.— New Y'ork Evening Post.
