 STICK HANDLING IMPORTANT.

 ln the matter of stick handling there are no welldcfined rules. Custom among play ers demands that the stick should be held ih both hands. the right hand at the end of the handle and the left lower down. ac cordlng to tho reach of the player. There are times, however, when 1t Is necessary to use but one hand, In which case holding the stick Gs above, the right hand Is al- ready in place without any change The stick should be held In both hands, be- cause in that position man Is nlways ready to shoot for Che goals or pass the dodge better, resist n heavy check more easily and sustain his position on his skates more securely when he has the stick thus held upon the ice.
 One of the pretticst sights in a good hocky match Is the rush down the ice, four abreast, of the forwards When Il forward, rushing down the ice, Is well followed by another of his side he should not try to dodge the cover point. hut should draw ont thnt man by inclinlng to the side, and pass the rubber to his partner, taklng care to then place himself in the best possible pos sltion to receive it back, If the latter can not shoot or lift.
 A player should chcc'; his opponents stick heavily, as a gentle stroke has seldom any effect.
 To lift tho rubber tho edge of the blade of the hockey stick must touch the rubber lower than half It's thickness, and the pr0c- tised twist of the wrist accomplishcs the rest.
 Do not begin to play roughly because you are losing. player should not lose his temper because he receives a sore knock. Do not question the decision of the umpire or referee. Let yonr captain plead the case.

One afternoon, about 10 minutes after 4, three young people stood before three differ ent gates which opened into small circular yard and impatiently demanded admission. The gates seemed to be locked, and as there was no one to unlock them it looked as if they might keep on shouting till bedtime. Presently, however, fourth gate was un- locked from the outside, and in stepped a hot and dusty schoolboy.
 "Open the gates, Mir. Presidentl' shouted his four waiting companions-for another had just joined their ranks

 SEVEN MEN ON A SIDE.

Seven men on side make up a team, the positions being as follows: Goal keeper, point, cover point, right and left centers and right and left wings The three first named are the defense, while the ccnters and wings, or forwards, as the four players arc also called, arc the offense.
 During the last few years many improve mcnts have been made In the skates used. particularly for match plays. The hockey skate should be just high enough to pre- vent the plate or the sole of the boot from touching the ice when turning or cutting corners. because low skate is not so strainlng on the analc as Il high one. The blade should be long enough and sufa. ciently flat on the Ice to aamlt of great speed, but should not project at the toe or heel so much as to trip the skater on any occasion.
 The blade should project about an inch in front of the toe of the boot, and an inch or little more behind the heel

bors so long that they were regarded almost as one big family, and the children had De- come so intimate and had done so little quarreling that the four fathers in council decided to make a common playground ior them. Thus the Circle was laid out-a gooo- sized inclosure, with a gate opening into each of the four gardens.
 But the name soon applied not so much to the playground as to the players them selves, so that in time the word "Circle' came to mean among the boys and girls of centerville an exclusive little society, which held secret meetings and had all kinds of fun in its circular retreat And this, indeed, was really the case.

: "HOMESIDE OF WARTIMES, in 13 Letters. 6
: SPINNING, WEAVING AND CLOTHE -MAKlNGNo.1O Z
Written by Virgil for The Brandon News =


Spinning and weaving have been an
honorable industry from time immemorial.
The only Bible mention made of spinning
IS to be found in tx. 35:25-2o, Matt. 6:28
and Prov 3I:Io. The latter passage
implies (according to the A. V. } the use
of the same instruments which have been
in vogue for hand spinning down to the
present day, viz: the dstaff and spindle.
The dstaff, however, appears to have
been dispensed with, and the term so rem
dered means the spindle itself, while that
rendered spindle represents the ''Whirl'
of the spindle, a button of circular rim,
which was affixed to it, and gave steadi-
ness to its circular notion
The "whirl' of the Syrian woman was
made of amber in the time :of Plinorv.
The spindle was held perpendicular in
the one hand while the other was employ
ed in drawing out the thread.
We are told in Exodus that all the wise
hearted Jewish women spun for the tab
ernacle furnis hing in the wilderness.
And all the women that were wise
hearted did spin with their hands, and
brought that which they had spun, both
of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and
of fine linen. And all the women whose
heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goat
hair" Those noble women of God, the
mothers and virgins of Israel, did not
think it tbeneath their dignity to spin,
and spin goats hair, why? Because
goats hair was needed in the
finishing of the great Tabernacle which
Jehovah had commanded to be set up,
and in which he was to meet and bless
them, and while the rich men offered onyx
stones, gold, silver, ram skin dyed red,
and bages skin, and shittim wood, the
wisehearted woman offered bracelets,
earrings, tablets, all jewels of gold, SO in
Wartimes while ourss fathers, husbands
and brothers were making offerings Of
time, health, and their lives to build a
confederate tabernacle in which to rest and
enjoy southern prosperity, our old
mothers, faithful wives, and tenderly be-
loved sisters, spun the goats hair of sorrow
and wore the "sackcloth of mourning" !"
They spun cotton and wool, and helped all
they could. So in all the duties of life, if
we cannot offer onyx, stones, gold, just
come along with the goats hair, spin it
we'll, and it will be accepted, for he who
makes floor mop deserves as much honor
as he who makes steam engine, pro-
vided he does his work we'll Our dear
good women during war times spun all
day and part of the night. Girls had
their task daily to perform, usually one
thank per day, besides their prorata of
the house work and cooking and etc.
We had all kind of ''rees", some were

count a hundred rounds ''a cut" four
cuts made a thank" and hank
would make one yard of cloth, of either

reel, we called "clockreel', it contained
a good amount Of machinery, and would
pop at every hundred rounds and did
away with the counting process, which was
a good thing for you were liable to make
a miscount when a half dozen war times
brats were yelling like wolf hunt. We
had to spin for all clothes worn at home
and for the boys in the war and had it not
been for faithful souls at home, our bows
would have gone as naked in the army
frequently, as jay bird fresh from a
"good Friday celebration. This scribe
could break and card wool. We would
put the wool in water (not with water)
and soak it to timber the cockleburr for if
you tried to pick the wool with the burs
dryyour fingers would pay all the
expenses on it. We would pick the seed
from the cotton;S sometimes the hand picked
cotton spun better than the ginned lint

with her lap full OF seed cotton, spread it

would come tumbling down, and quicker

luck, for unless the good woman rebuilt"

account. Sometime we got so lazy it
became necessary to task US, and the
standard for equaIizing the burdens was
for every fellow to pick his shoes full of
