A lady recently called at the house
of a friend, who answered in person
the ring at the door. With careworn
expression and Hurried manner she

parently reigned in the house, saying:

ill enough to go to the hospital, too ill
to work, too far from home to go there,
yet needing attention from me. My
waitress is having a fit Of the sulks, and

now not on speaking terms with her
husband, the cOachman, and is seeking

a year or two ago is the result, in its
opinion, Of the winning fight made by
the farmer for the control Of the mark
citing of his chief product, cotton.
Southern farm properties have in
creased in the estimate of the Record
probably 81, 100000 in the past two
years The result Of this transforma-
ton will be the better cultivation of
land and the bringing of other land
under cultivation.
The total value of the cotton crop,
including seed, in the past six years,
has exceeded that of the previous six
years by s1,40O, 900, 900 and while cot
ton is the staple crop of the south the
Record does not attribute the entire
change in the farmers condition to this
cause alone, but gives diversified farm

There are weather prophets and
weather prophets, but there is a stone
which it is asserted unfailingly fore
tells changes in the weather. This
stone was found in Finland many
years ago by an explorer and has been
watched by scientists with great inter-
est. 1t is known as the samakuir and
presents white notified appearance in
sunshine, gradually turning from gray
to black as a rainstorm approaches.
The samakuir is made up Of clay, inter
and rock salt. In dry weather the salt
in the stone is prominent, but when the
air Is filed with moisture the salt alb
serbs the moisture and turns black,
thus acting as a barometer.

sleeping in three beds He engaged

in bed No. l. The next three he slept
in No. 2, and the last three hours in

VENETIAN FOOTBALL.


How the Game Was Played In Ven
ice Several Centuries Ago.
A book published at Venice in 1866
by Antonio Scaino relates methods of
play in a real football that was actual
ly called by the same name. The field
was so large that no one, however
strong, could quite throw a stone from
one end to the other" and it was about
half as wide. Twenty, thirty or forty
persons could participate on side, the
number being regulated by the size OF
the available field. Goals were set up
at either end. No one was permitted to
strike the ball with the outstretched
arm or with anything he might carry
in his hand. Nevertheless he was per.
mitted to strike the ball with what
ever part of his body that he pleased"
If the ball came rolling toward him
he was allowed to kick 1t, the infer
ence being that II it were lying still he
could not do so. The field was divided
by a transverse line Unto two equal
parts, and in the middle lay the ball.
The players were chosen, those who
were going to make up the opposing
parties, by means Of colors, by which,
In the struggle of the contest, each
could recognize his own side. When
the signal was given by the roll Of the
drum or the blast of trumpet play
er rushed forward, one who had been
chosen by lot to be the first to kick the
ball with his foot This action was I'M
derstood to be the beginning Of the
contest, so that after it 1t was permit
ted to no one from either party to seize
1t, to strike it and to drive it as victor
over the goal 1t was perhaps from
the method Of beginning the game that
it was called football"
These Italian games had their origin
in the ancient pastimes Of the Greeks
and Romans, and in reality approach
nearer to the modern idea of football
than do the beginnings of the game in
northern countries. Football is believ-
ed by some authorities to have been a
portion of the worship of the Celtic
sun god, one of the rites attendant on
the celebrative ceremonies. Some also
hold a strong belief that its original
form was introduced into England by
the Romans-Dennie 2. Meyers in
Outing Magazine.
