There are several methods in use for
preparing the finished surface of the
wood to receive the yarnish. Boiled lin
seed oil is sometimes used when the OBJ

the wood is lifeless in color, as is the
case with fresh worked cherry, and the
desire is to darken and enrich it with

made of pure silica crushed and ground
in oil, to which dryers are added, so
that when properly applied it fills and
becomes very hard in the open grain of
the wood.
Filler is in the form of paste, and can
be bought in small cans. 1t must be
th1nned with turpentine to the consist
ency of paint, when it is easily applied
with a brush. It should>be brushed on
so as to cover the surface well, and al
lowed to dry only until it begins to turn
gray in color, usually in about ten min

cloth across the grain, thus rubbing the

FOOTBALL IN 1893.
Game Was Hardly as Strenuous as
That of To-Day-Played in Flor
ence with ~ on 4 Side.

Could the youths Of Florence. who
played football in that city nearly 500
years ago, rise from their graves. they
would be Mortified to see the clothes in
which the game is played to-day. To
quote from the rules of that date:
The dresses of the players must be
as light and convenient as possible, be-
cause the less impeachment they offer the
more easily the men can move and the
more agile will be their limbs
When calico was played in costume
the players assembled at the house OF
one Of the principal mobiles of the city,
and the best men were carefully select
ed. The day was fixed and the notice
OF it posted. Then two of the best
known and important young men would
be selected as standard bearers, and on
the appointed day each of these would
invite all the men on his side to feast.
After this the players started for the
field, with the standard bearers and
trumpeters.
The rules of the game were rather
complicated. but interesting. None but
gentlemen and hOnored soldiers. or
mobiles. might take part; no artisan.
servants, infamous or common persons
were permitted
The general number of players was u
on each side, though the number might
be more or less. The game was played
in an open square, around which was a
barrier or railing.
When, at the sound of the trumpets.
the game was ordered to begin. all
servants and persons who had no right
there were sent of the field and could
not come inside the railing.
At each end of the field there was a
goal over which the ball was to be
kicked. There were six judges, three
for each side, chosen from men who
had been famous players, who sat in
high place where they could overlook
the field.
The n players were divided into Is
runners. who were placed in front: five
"sconciatori," who tried to impede the
runners; four half-backs and three
backs.
When the players had taken their
places, the ''pallio,' so called because
he carried the palla, or ball, dressed in
costume made of the colors of the
two sides, threw the ball against mar
BILE tablet on the wall. As it bounced
back among the players the runners
ran to push and kick it toward the goal.
The game was won by the side that
made the greatest number of goals
Whenever 4 goal or fault was made the
sides exchanged places and. the VIC
torious ones carried the banner and
marched around the pavilion ut the on
posite side. the conquered party being
required to lower its banner. zz....s-.'0.
The rules as to politeness and dienitv
