Old-Tne Base Ball.
From OutinI

The rules of the game were similar to
those used in the New York game" as
our now national game was then called, ex-
cept in the manner Of scoring runs. In
some sections it was the rule that when a
long hit was made. or the ball lost, the
batsman could make not more than one
run, while in other localities the runner
could make as many as he was able. as In
cricket. That is, he could keep tearing
around the bases. rolling up runs. until the
ball was put in play. 1 recall one game In
which, when my side had a good lead, an
opposing batsman hit the ball into some
tall grass near second base. We outs
lost sight Of 1t, but the batsman did not,
and. unseen by us, picked it up and kept
on running until his side had a safe lead
When the Massachusetts school boys were
playing their brand Of ball, the New York
game was the game in general vogue
throughout the country, and this style of
playing gradually replaced the other In
New England.

Hot Meal Without a Fire.
From London Truth.

From London Truth
Readers of the war news will have noticed
one or two references to the fact that tin
ned meats for the Russian troops are pre-
pared by a process which enables the con-
tents Of each tin to be served hot without
a fire. This boon is secured by having
the ordinary tins filled with food ''1acket-
ed" in patent tins. The patent tin con-
tains water. together with a chemical mix
raised to the boiling point in ten minutes OF
quarter Of an hour. All that it is neces-
sary to do when 1t is desired to heat the
food is to puncture the top Of the patent
tin. the chemical mixture being thereby
forced into the water, which soon begins
to boil.

Cutting Trees by Electricity.

From the Chicago Post.
1t is reported in the German press that
successful experiments have been made in
various forests of France in cutting trees
by means of electricity. platinum wire
Is heated to white heat by an electric
current and used like saw. In this man.
ner the tree is felled much easier and
quicker than in the old way, no sawdust is
produced and the slight carbonization
caused by the hot wire acts as a preserva-
tive OF the wood The new method Is said
to require only one-eigfth of the time con-
sumed by the old saving process.

inscription
''Perishable; should be used at once"
Within was another card which writ
ten the compliments of the season, and the donor
expressed the hope that this day, probably mean
ing Christmas. will be the recipients last
Mr.. Naylor is at loss to explain the motive
for the repulsive gift. Tho he does not connect
it with any intended malice. he is nevertheless
nervous and intends to investigate the matter
fully.
If Mr.. MAYORS endeavor to detect the iden-
tity of the sender and discover the latter's pur-
pose in casting a pail his Christmas OBJ

authorities will begin Investigation.
