HOW BALLS ARE MADE.

Automatic Machines For Their Coastrue.
tton In Ruceessful Operation.
Automatic machines for making base
balls have been so successfully con-
trived that their introduction is likely
to constitute practical industry. Each
machine winds two balls at one time, in
the following way:
A little Para rubber ball, weighing
three-quarters of an ounce, around
which one turn has been made with the
end of q skein Of an old-fashioncd gray
stocking yarn, is slipped into the ma
chine, then another, after which the
boy in charge touches . lever, the ma
chine starts and the winding begins.
The rubber ball is thus hidden in few
seconds, and in its place appears . little
gray yarn ball that rapidly grows larger
and larger.
When it appears to be aboct half the
size of the regulation base ball there is
click. the machine stops, the yarn is
cut, the boy picks out the ball and
tosses it into the basket. When this
basket is full it is passed along to an
other boy, who runs similar machine,
where . half-ounce layer Of worsted
yarn is put on.
The next machine adds . layer Of
strong, white cotton thread, . coating Of
rubbe: cement is next applied and .
half-ounco layer Of tho very best fine
worsted completes tho ball, with the ex-
ception Of the cover.

Hints For Ladies' Accustomed to Doing
the Family Sewing.
Home dress-making has been Of lato
years reduced to comparatively easy
task by the number of articles er parts
of the dress that can be bought of the
shops all ready to be sewn on. This
facilitates the task, so that all that is
required is to fit the dress, sew up the
seams, and drape it. All the minutiae
of the work, the covering Of whale-
bones, the making of yoke or bands to
the skirt and numerous other ''putter-
ing" small work is done away with. as
all these parts of the dress can be
bought in the shop IS cheaply as they
can be made. The single covered
steels, which are sold to take tho
place of whalebones, are not to DO
recommended. 1t is no trouble to
cut the whalebone up. however. and
put them into the convenient cases OF
silk, which come by the yard or piece.
It is considerable trouble to fit skirt
yoke. and those sold in the shops are .
great convenience. More desirable than
the plated skirt-braid is the cord of
braid that is ready to he put on the
skirt with one row of stitching. Skirts
are SO plain this season that they can
be easily made at home. 1t is the uni
versal practice now to make founda-
ton skirt of silk. alpaca or cotton to all
dresses This is the lining, but it is

inches with some of the dress goods,
and bound with braid at the bottom,
and faced up on the inside with founda-
ton muslin and alpaca or some other
strong. durable facing. The skirt prop
er, which is now without drapery. is
hung over this skirt from the waist
band and tackled to the foundation skirt
at intervals to hold it in proper place.
The bodice or waist of all dresses is
finished at the belt. which is concealed
by soft folded girdle Of silk. a plain
pointed girdle of cloth like the dress or
some similar continuance. Basques are
seldom seen. There are great many
dresses made now on Princess style.
There is little trimming used ON wool
dress skirts, unless as q border near
or at the bottom, or in tho
shape of narrow panel At
the left side. All skirts for the house
lay on the ground. and only barely es-
cape the ground in the street. The waist
of the dress is often elaborately trim
med. however. Sleeves are always very
large and high, and reach far down over
the waist, instead of being short At the
waist as they were formerly. 1t is .
rule, if the waist is Of elaborate make,
that the huge sleeve should be plain or
the reverse. Be careful to set these full
sleeves very high on the shoulder, in
order to give slender appearance to
the figure. not broad one.-N Y.

TRAPPING AN elephant.
A Stirring Hunsang Adventure In the wIla'
Of Africa,

A Stirring Hunting Adventure In the WIlHa
Of Africa,
Silent and motionless, quite hidden in
the darkness, stood the huge form of an
old bull elephant, one of whose tusks
had been damaged in his youth and had
become totally decayed. His head wa.
bent forward in order te rest his ono
monster tusk upon the ground, his
trunk loosely coiled between his FORE
legs, was also resting ON the ground,
and his great ragged ears tapped
spasmodically in vain endeavor to shake
off the myriads of mosquitoes that per-
sistently hovered around his head. Sud-
denly the forest was lit up by a most
vivid flash of lightning, followed an in
slant afterward by crashing peal Of
thunder. The elephant raised his head
with startled jerk, his huge limbs
shaking with fear.
Almost before the rumbling echoes Of
the thunder had died away, the rain,
that had been threatening for 80 zsAnF
hours, fell in torrentA Flashes of
lightning succeeded each other so rapid
ly that the attendant peals of thunder
were converted into one continuous
roar. and tho violence of the wind soon
increased to q veritable tornado
tropical hurricane.
Trees were blown down and uprooted
ON all sides. The terrified elephant re-
mained for some time motionless with
fear, but as the tempest continued, the
monster became suddenly panic-stricken.
and charged madly through the dense
forest, stumbling and falling over the
tru nks of uprooted trees in his endeav,
ors to gain some open patch where there
would be NO danger of being crushed by
the falling timber.
Suddenly, in the midst of q mad rush,
the elephant sank to the ground with a
sharp squeal Of pain. The poor brute
had severed the vines that supported
one of the traps that had been arranged
the previous day, and aheavily-weighted
spear was plunged between his shoul-
ders. For some moments he remained
motionless, then the great body rolled
slowly from side to side in vain en-
deavor to free himself from the spear.
but the weapon was barbed and the
points had penetrated too deeply to
be shaken off. Here he remained, ex-
hausted, until daybreak, his hide COW

smears of blood.-Herbert Ward, in

must confess to having often felt an
intense desire to cap.ure Frank Brent,
and on his part he had boasted, with
something of an Indians ferocity, that
he would wear my scalp at his belt be-
fore the war was over. But the joy I
had anticipated in his humiliation was
not mine when in the dusk of that
stormy evening we stood face to face.
