NASHVILLE, Aug. "a statement
was made at Knoxville, Tenn, this
morning which may have some politi-

be made to have the Alliance support
Winstead, the Republican candidate

candidates for the legislature. Thus
an effort will be made to control that

4 Simple Way to Avoid Dust.

Here is a hint in regard to the pre-
vention OF dust that is well worth the
attention of housc.lcepcrs. jutch
artists OF old, who had Il perfect terror
OF dust, always chose, if possible, to
have their studios in close proximity to
canal. If this was not practicable
they got over the difficulty by keeping
large tub of water in their studios,
most OF the dust flying about the room
being caught in this receptacle The
neighborhood of river, the substitute
for the Dutch canal, may not always
be desirable at the present time bnt a
bowl of water, especially in these days
when we rejoice in any excuse for null
tiplying the bric-a-brac in our rooms, is
within cvcrybody's reach.

from side to side Near the side pockets.
1t Will be observed that this divides the
bed Of the table into fifteen balll spaces,
thus allowing one balll space for each
object ball. These spaces arc numbered
in consecutive order, beginning at the
space in the left upper corner of the
table. Each space is known as the ter
ritory' of the ball bearing it's number.
The balls having been set up in tho
frame, exactly as in ordinary pool, the
game is opened by n safety break, and
then the interest begins. Play is car
ricd on until one player pockets five
balls, which constitutes game The in
creased difficulty of the play renders it
necessary to reduce the number of balls
making pool from eight to five The
balls that are even numbered must be
pocl'ctcd in the three pockets along the
right side of the table, and the odd balls
in the three pockets on the left side a

Symbols of tho Thunde.boIt.

The different nations of the world,
both ancient and modern, have en-
ploycd various symbols to represent the
fires that flash from the thunder-cloud.
The Chaldeans symbolizcd it with a
trident; the learned Babylonians used a
human arm for the same purpose The
bas-rcliefs of Nimrod and Malthia, the
,wqrls of later and more refined Assyrian
artists, show the trident doubled or
transformed into 4 trifd fasciclc. This
triumph of the classic art secured for the
ancient Mesopotamian symbol the adj
vantage over all other representations
of the thunderbolt. The Greeks repre-
scented the storm-fre with the features
Of 9 bird of prey. Later on, when they
had begun the use Of the Asiatic form of
the symbol, they put it in the claws of
an eagle and made it the sccpter of :eus
Gaul received the symbol from italy,
but soon altered it to the familiar two
headed hammer seen on the Gallo
Roman monuments. The same symbol
is seen on amulcts found in Germany,
Scandinavia and Brittany.

Shaving by Machinery.

Shaving IL man in twenty-five seconds
is feat deserving of the highest praise
and reward by all such as value their

of performance by the construction of n
shaving machine of wood. reported to
have been made by one Mclchior

the city of S2cgcdin, in Hungary.
Farkas was put t. labor in the cabinet

to his work with u will, lie soon dis
played great inventive ingenuity. With
his machine he is said TO have shaved
all the inmates of the prison, nearly
one hundred and fifty in number, with
in less than an hours time. The report
fails to state however, to what extent
the shaving by machinery did or did
not succeed in giving comfort to the
sufferer in the chair.

The LARGEST HOu, Al

The popular demand for variety in
billiards has brought into existence an
other interesting novelty in pool that is
likely to BECOME as popular in time as
bottle pool, which is just now all tho
rage in clubs. The latest wrinkle is
called ballS line pool, and acquires It's
title from the marking of the table bed
III the manner adopted in balll line bill
lizards. The honor of the invention is
claimed by Samuel Warren Childs. an
expert cue manipulation. The experts
nave already SO mastered progressive
pool, he argues, that it has lost much of
Its old-timc interest for exhibition pur-
poses. and the newest game is dcsi.cncd
to supplant it and inject vital interest
and fresh excitement in tho battle, be-
tween the cracks. 1t calls for Il more
frequent execution of fancy conbna-
ton shots than progressive pool, and
though somewhat more complicated in
its ralcs, is quite rs easy for the spec
tator to understand
The new game was Interestingly de-
scribcd for the New York Sun by Bill
liardist Childs, the other night, in
Maurice Days parlors Mortimer
Humphreys was Il listener, and expressed
the opinion that the game was n good
one and likely to mako u ''go' if tried
in tourney. Inventor Chiltis drew tho
diagram which is here reproduced, out
lining the ballS spaces with tailors'
chalk on the green baize.
