1t often happens in game that one of the
object balls will run so close to the rail and
the cue ball at such an angle that there is
only one way of making the shot. In the
rules governing fifteen-ball pool 1t states
that a player not removing the tip of his
cue from the cue bail aud therefore not max
ing two strokes is entitled to the balls he
may push into the pocket The push masse
was the result of the combined ideas o.
Frey and Manning, and has been used snc-
cessfully by both. In this shot the cue is
held in perpendicular position, grasped
midway up from the butt and balanced as
steadily as possible. A quick rotary shove
Is given, which brings the object ball to the
pocket.
Often in a game the balls will roll to the
end of the table and remain in such posi-
ton that it becomes necessary to use the
wooden bridge to lift the cue out of the way
Of the other balls. In a match. if the player
disturb any ball before he shoots the shot is
forfeited, and to avoid any contingency Of
this kind some of the experts-notably Mr.

A Joke that Ended in Death.

Entertaining are some anecdotes
told of Gonella. jester to Borso.
Duke of Ferrara, in the fifteenth cen
fury. AS Gonella was on his way to
mass three blind beggars implored
aims of him. Here is n form for
YOU" He gave nothing and passed
on. The beggars invoked blessings
on Kim, each supposing that one OF
his fellows was in possession of the
coin. When they wished to divide
the gift not one OF them would allow
that he held it, and they mutually
accused each other OF cheating, and
from words proceeded to blows. Go
nella watched the fray with great
complacency, and when the beggars
were all bruised and bleeding he went
to church with clear and calm con-
science. The Duke of Ferrara fell i'll,
and the doctors declared that only a
sudden fright would restore him to
health. He was too great man for
anyone to play tricks on except his
fool. Gonella was with him in a boat,
and cleyerly pushed the Duke into
the water. Aid had been previously
provided, and the Prince was drawn
ashore and put to bed. The fright
and the bath and the bed cured the
invalid, but he was so enraged with
Gonella that he exiled the man who
was both tool and a physician.
Gonella returned in a cart filled with
Padunn soil; an evasion OF the edict
of Punishment said to have been
practieed by many a jester. The
Duke ordered him to be beheaded.
but saying privately that he would
only repay fright with fright he di-
rected the eXecutioner not to use the
axe, but to let fall a single drop of
water on the culprit's neck. Gonella
was led to the scaffold; all the usual
gloomy preparations were made. He
was blindfolded and made to Law his
head on block. The executioner,
from a vial, let fall drop of water
on Gonelln's neck. Then amid shouts
and laughter the jester, silent now,
was hidden to rise and thank the
Duke for his clemency. But Gonella
never moved; he was dead-kiIled by
his masters jest.-From the Cornhill
Magazine.

The Indians Not Dying out.

The novelists, reporters and others
who write Indian speeches, beginning
with the words 81 am the last of my
race, the red man isvaniahing before
the white man as the leaves, etc, /"
had better look upon the facts. IL
now seems that any statement to
the effect that the number Of our
Indian population is slowly decreas-
ing is not in accord with the truth.
The lncian is not dying off and van
ishing from the earth any more than
the Caucasian is. They have, for the
most part, adopted semi-civilized
habits and quiet lives. They are in
creasing rather than decreasing. In
the quiet, orderly communities ofthe
Indian Territory, in the reservation
Of Dakota and in the pueblos of New
Mexico and Arizona, the Indian is
encamped peacefully. and his children
are being educated. He is fairly
prosperous, provided the Indian
agents and the contractor do not
try to starye him, and he is raising
his family and increasing in theland.

Where Nickel Comes From

From the Youths Companion.
In the Cooper Cliff Mine near Sud-
bury, Canada, it is said, more nickel
is being produced than the entire
market of the world calls for at cur.
rent prices. A little branch railway
off the main line of the Canadian
Pacific Railway, four miles in length,
leads out to the mine, which opens
into the face Of crag of the brown,
oxidized Laurentian rock, character
istics of this region. The miners are
now at work at depth of about 300
feet below the surface As fast as the
nickel and copper-bearing rock is
hoisted out it is broken up and piled
upon long beds or ricks ofpine wood,
to be calcined or roatsed, for the pnr-
pase OF driving out the sulphur which
it contains. The roasting process is
of the nature of lime kilning or char
coal burning. Each great bed of ore
requires from one to two months to
roast. When roasted, the rock goes
to the principal smelter, a powerful
blast furnace, jacketed mining
phrase with running water, to ena-
bic it to sustain thegreat heat requi-
site to reduce the crude, obdurate
mineral to fiuidity.
The dross of the molten mass is
first allowed to flow off, and after
ward the nearly pure nickIe and cop
per, blended together in an alloy
called the ''mat," or matte, is drawn
off at the base ofthe furnace vat into
the barrow-pots, and wheeled away,
still liquid and fiery hot, to cool in
the yard of the smelter. The mat
contains about 40 per cent. ofniekel,
the remainder 80 per cent. being
mainly copper. When cold, the con-
ical pot-loaves OF mat can easily be
cracked in pieces by means of heavy
hamers. Tho fragments are then
packed in barrels and shipped to
Swansea, in Wales, and to Germany,
where the two constituent metals
are separated and refined by secret
processes which are very jeaIously
guarded by the manufacturers.
So jealously is the secret kept that
no one in America has yet been able
