Schaefer Was Wrong.

Even experts err at times Not long
since Schncfer, the blliardist, spoke
very disparagingly and mistakenly with
reference to the devotees of his favoritc
game. Billiards!' he exclaimed. "Why
there are none any more. There are
no players. In the good old days 20
years ago every city of over 10, 900 inhabit-
ants had an aspirant for the champion
ship. These players had no time to 40
around the country and give exhibitions
And they were all good players too. q"
Schaefer is in error nsupposing that there
are no longer any players In this country.
The history of the recent Chicago tourna-
mont has proved conclusively that we have
very many really great players in this
country-not, 1t is true, experts who can
compare with Schaefor, but exports who
rank today, rs a rule, vastly ahead of the
players of 20 years ago, and half of the
present day experts did not appear in that
tournament.-Exc

Strategy In Football.

In speaking of his favoritc game recent
", Mr.. Forbes, the football authority, lik-
ened the qualities of the true football
player to those of the successful boxer
and laid great stress upon the Importance
of quick. decisive plays. For instance, in
center and guard play there is n moment
when the hole made by the blockers is
opened, and the play must be reckoncd by
the coachers and directed by the quarter
back to hit the line at just that moment.
And then, too, there are certain times
when the right play can clinch game
and even make a touchdown. 1t takes n
great general to know when to put such n
play into use. Not only the quarter back
must know this, but also the players must
realize with equal quickncss Just when
the blow should be struck ana what is the
value of each play.
A really good quarter back" said Mr.
Forbes, knows all these things by in
stinct, but both he and the team ought to
be drilled up to them perfectly"

lum World in regard to obtaining the
best castings with aluminium bronze,
III order to avoid the difficulties which
are so frequently met with in melting.
An essential point mentioned is the spe-
clal care to be taken not to overhead the
metal, the fact being that, if it be heat
ed to too high n temperature, the alu-
mlnlum will oXidize, the oxide which
is thus formed making the entire casting
what artisans term dirty" and the
metal will also be spongy from the pres
ence Of large amounts Of occluded gases.
The scum, too, which floats on top of
the melted bronze in the crucible must
be prevented from going into the body
OF the casting, this being practicable by
providing the casting with suitable skim
gates. The greatest trouble in making
bronze castings, however, arises from
the shrlnkagc Of the metal, which is
very great-a difficulty which is over
come If the casting have largo sinking
head and "risers,' it being necessary,
however, III many cases to make the

How Husband and Wife Were Held To-
gether by IA Baby Daughter.
The ventilating shaft of Harlem fat is
responsible for the publicity of "a touching
episode, from which tho true names are
purposcly omitted.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones had for several
months been living under strained condi-
tionS that cast q cloud over their home,
which threatened to break in n storm that
would disrupt the little family OF three
members. Last week the breaking point
was reached and husband and wife agreed
that a separation was the only possible
course. But there was little daughter
Eva, years of age. Which parent was to
nave hcrs 1t was decided that the child
should answer this question.
Eva, said the mother as she was seat
ed near the ventilating shaft, holding the
child's hand, while the father, with con-
tracted brows, was standing at the other
end of the room, my dear little daughter
papa and mamma are not going to live to-
gcther any longer; we are going to scpa-
rate and go far, far away from each other
We can't 10 happy in the same house.
Now, my child, we want you to say which
one of us you will live with. You must
choose between mamma and papa
The eyes of tho little girl filled with tears
averted his face and stood with bowed
head. She did not speak then, but was
apparently in thought, very deep for her
little experience. She looscned the hand
that held her and moved quickly toward
| her father, who turned with outstrctchcd
arms and n smile of triumph to welcome
her. \ deep frown settled on the mother S
! face.
The child did not then break her silence,
but taking her fathers hand in hers led
him with Il tender force which no could
not resist to the other end of the room.
- Papa and mamma" she said, as she
held hand OF each, II want to 1.-Two with
both of you. l must have you both. Now
Kiss, make up and be happy. Please, papa
| and mamma"
The appeal was Irresistible. Mr.. and
Mrs. Jones were folded In each other g
arms, and the three for moment were in
tears, which smiles of joy soon banished.-
