Willamette's ball tossers won their

Dallas team punched their hits, and

ing and heady pitching Willamette did
not give them another look-in until the
ninth. when a passed ball and a wild
throw to third gave Dallas their sec.

Willamette did not successfully con.

ming. Jones started off the fireworks
with a single, and G. Hunt followed
with hot drive to third, which was
fumbled. RAIDER brought both in with
two.bagger to right center field. A
single by Jerman to the right field

pitch permitted Jerman to cross the
plate, making the fourth run in the
one inning.
In the sixth base on balls to p.

Nervousness is very common among

the reservoirs of nervous vitality. These
centers become bloodless for want of

The English game is played quite

the American games of both pool and
billiards, being played on a table haV.

The French and American games are
played with three balls upon table
without pockets and only "canons" or
"caroms" are counted. In America the
game of billiards has undergone
rapid development on account Of the
great skill acquired by American play
ers. Early in the last century the
game was commonly played with four
balls upon pool table, more or less
like the present English game for
both pocketing the balls and making

style of playing proved so simple that
a table was adopted without any peck

Billiards an Old Game

The game of billiards may lay claim
to great antiquity, for in Anthony and
Cleopatra" Shakespeare makes Cleo
patra say: Let us to billiards." and
SO, unless we accuse the great poet of
error in chronology, we have traced
the game back to a period before the
Christian era, In early times a SINH
lar game was played on the grass or
turf with stones, and later with balls

How to apply the right twist" or
English" to the cue ball is one Of the
most interesting and important ele-
ments in the art of good playing. In
early times only two balls were used.
and each player sought simply to
pocket the ball of his opponent. The
red ball was introduced as a novelty
to keep the game from dying out. AS
time has gone on the game has had
varied development in different coun.
tries. In Spain they play with three
balls and five wooden pins are set I'D
in the middle of the table. In Russia
they play with five balls, two white

curious Facts About RabIsts.

At a recent meeting of the Imperial
Geographical society a, Weadikawkas,
Russia, the explorer Arakelyani made
some interesting statements about the
religious sect of the Babists. This
Mohammedan organization was found
ed in 1874 by the Persian Mirsa Ali
Mohamed, and now numbers about
100000 members. According to the
"Bejan"-the Koran of this .sect-all
men are brethren, and should speak
and write the same language. The
year is divided into nineteen months
and nineteen days, of which the latter
fve are devoted to repentance. OF
these 100000 members, over S,000,-
900 live in Persia, where they have
been allowed to build their own
churches, while the remainder is
spread over Egypt, Arabia, Turkestan
and even China. The present head of
the sect is Abbas-Effendi, who resides
in Persia. The founder of the organi.
cation, Mirsa Ali Mohamed, was killed

Chief Requisite of Opals

Veins of opals are usually met with
II soft formations, where nothing above
ground indicates their presence. The
search for them, therefore, often re-
quires considerable time. But it is
not extremely difficult, for opals are
generally found near the surface. In
deed, it was thought for a long time
that they were not to be found as
deep as twelve feet below the surface.
This opinion has, however, given way
in the light of evidence, because opals
of great value have been discovered at
depth of fifty feet.
The value of opals depends upon
several considerations, of which the
principal one is the color 1t is i'm
portant that they should be bright
and not present streaks or
spots alternating with uncolor-
ed substance. The most val
liable are those which have red fires
or mixtures of red and yellow, blue
and green. Opals of a single tint are
of little value, unless the tint is par
