Pool Balls.

Here is an interesting popularity
about billiard or pool balls. You can
go to pool table yourself and try it..
as there is NO trick about it. Take a
half dozen balls or the full Is of the
set, az you please. Line them up soli(ly
against the cushion. Take one ball in
your hand, held against the cushion.
and push it against the balls still in
line. You will fnd that but one ball will
leave the other end of the line and 20
into the pocket. Now take two balls and
follow the same operation. Two balls
will leave the other end of the line and
go into the pocket. Now take three. and
three balls will leave the other end of
the line. Go still farther and take three
in each hand, held closely together,
and six balls will 90 into the pocket.
You may push the balls as hard as you
please, but you can't move a greater
number than you push.-Detroit Free

ENCOURAGE RIFLE PRACTICE.
Plans Of Government ohacials to REM
-: sdy Great Defect in the Mil :..
! itary System. vi

Throughout EMhu Root long service
az secretary of war the one subject,
which received his most serious atten-
tion, aside from the operations of the
army in the field, the army reorganiza-
tion act, the general staff scheme and the
national militia project, was the ques-
tfon of developing in the mass OF Amer
ican citizens body of trained rifiemen
large enough to make our defenses Sc
cure in time of war; In season and out
of season he insisted that the country
needed men who. could shoot straight,
who knew the use of the rifle thoroughly
and with whom proficiency in small
arms practice should be the first test of
fitness as soldiers. Mr. Roots earnest
ness in this matter served as reminder
that whereas we have made but little
real progress In rife shooting since the
close Of the Spanish war, other coun-
tries are giving close attention to the
subject, Canada alone having but re-
Gently instituted broad-gauge scheme
which it is believed will produce 5OO.-
600 trained riflemen within ten years.
Owing partly to Mr.. Roots persistent
urging, supported by many other inter-
ested gentlemen in the army, the navy.
the marine corps, the nationak guard
and civil life, public interest in the sub
ject took form in the organization of the
national board for the promotion of
rifle practice in the United States. and
as result of that movement plans have
been formulated which If carried into
effect seem likely to transform millions
OF hardy young Americans into expert
riflemen and thus correct what is palpa-
bly, the gravest defect in our military
system.
In preparing these plans careful con-
sideration was given to the methods
employed by other countries to encour-
age, rifle shooting among their citizens
and the paramount purpose was to de-
wise a system which should make every
American between the ages Of Is and 25
years ambitious to become master
marksman. In its general scope the
scheme provides for highly organized
system to encourage rifle practice in the
state militia, In military and other
schools and among private organizations
AZ we'll as among individuals who would
be liable to military service in time OF
war. =

COSTLY GIFTS no ROYALTY,
Received BIZ. the Prince and
PFia0oaD of wales Last Yoan.

A dazzling array of royal presents is
on view in the gallery Of the Imperial
institute. 1t consists of gifts made to
the prince and princess of Wales dur
ing the cruise of the Ophir last year.
The exhibits are S71 in number, but
the greater proportion consists of il
Illuminated addresses and gold and sill
yer troweis used at the laying of vari-
Gus foundation stones.
The actual presents number about
200 some of which are very valuable,
others less valuable but perhaps more
interesting, says a London report.
The most striking exhibit is model
Of diamond mine. The outer casket
is made of silver, and the inner portion
contains an exact representation in
miniature of the Kimberley diamond
mine, within which are deposited
rough diamonds. The casket stands
on base of marble, incrusted with
rubies and garnets from De Beers
mine.
> Another beautiful gift is Maori
canoe, manned by seven boa atmen, with
golden paddles. The canoe stands on
a slab of green stone on which are en-
graved the royal arms in gold. The
caskets are numberless. and many of
them are beautiful works Of art. Per-
haps the finest is that presented by the
inhabitants of Handy, in Ceylon. 1t is
embossed with priceless gems.
There are several gifts reminiscent
of the war. one of which is a set Of
three bells, each formed from a
cartridge shell from Ladysmith; an
other is a gong constructed from part
of captured gun-carriage and "Long
Tom" shell. There are several pres
ents from Boer prisoners.
The princess has some beautiful furs
and jewels among her gifts. OF the
former the most noteworthy are a
mink pelerine trimmed with sable
tails, mink cape faced with ermine,
magnificent mink carriage rug
trimmed with tails, and a mink muff;
of the latter, collection Of over 40
pure-water diamonds, and a large dia-
mond and opal pendant are the most
conspicuous.

CoUNTERFElTS FALL OFF.
Recent Report Shows That Very
Small Proportion Of Our
Money II Bad.

The annual report Of the operations of
the secret service division for the fisfical
year ending June 80 was made to Secre-
tary OF the Treasury Shaw by Chief
Wilkie. Among other things, says q
Washington report, reference is made to
an effort on the part of the division to
secure an estimate of the amount OF
counterfeit money in circulation in the
United States
Thousands of letters of inquiry were
sent to banks In every city of importance
In the country. More than 1900 of the
national banks reported that they had
not seen any counterfeit money during
the period covered by the inquiry, Janu-
ary to December 81. 1903 Fifteen hum
dred banks reported a decrease in the
amount they had received, as compared
with previous years, and 100 reported
an increase
In order to be certain that the esti-
mates should be over rather than un-
der the actual facts, the figures wee
doubled, both a. to coin and notes. Even
with this liberal allowance, the figures
lndlcated about three dollars in cOun-
terfeit coin for each 100000 of gold and
silver In circulation. and a little less
than one dollar in counterfeit notes for
each $4,000 Of paper circulation.
There are rs new counterfeits de-
scribed in the official circulars issued by
the division during the year, but only
few Of these notes fell in what is
termed the deceptive or dangerous class.
The makers and passers of 1S of the Is
counterfeit issues were arrested. and in
nearly every case the plant was cap
tured and destroyed.
The total arrests for the year were 419,
and of the prisoners 206 were born in the
United States. The largest foreign con-
tributor was italy. In the number OF ar
rests New York led with 81.
