CHEAP M POOLS.
May Be Made in the Brook by Coun-
try Boys with Small
Labor,

The brook or running stream of nat
ural outdoor water gives a variety of
chances for the man who wishes to
live his life Alright, says Country Life
In America. The brook can be con-
verified, without being diverted, into
a swimming pool for boys by building
a dam at the point where the banks
do a little extra shelving and tend to
form a natural basin. The bottom
should be spaded out and made more
Of a reservoir in it's capacity and
shape. The dam itself can be made by
a family of boys at the cost of the
lumber and nails involved. The en-
bankments are sodded. The sides Of
the spillway are made of wooden posts
driven into the ground and boarded up.
This makes a boxed-up affair, or rather
two boxes, one on each side of the
stream. These boxes are filled with
sand, rocks and sods to make a solid
cubic piece of resistance. The sodded
entertainments run across the valley or
depression of the brook hollow to the
higher ground. BY leans of a lever
@ pole (playing into a wooden-jawed
socket and weighted with a rock or
pieces of iron)-the watergate can be
opened against a strong Roadway OF
water. The water flows over the top
Of the spillway when it is closed, and
by raising the gate the pond car be
emptied or reduced to the normal level

JEALOUS OVER BASEBALL.
British Have Lots to Say Against the
National Game of the
United States.

The British are so jealous of Ameri-
can baseball that they are staying up
nights to invent words to express them
selves with proper JUNCTION to fit their
green eyes, says the Worcester (Mass.)
Telegram. They have no sport over
there which is run as a business for the
amusement of the people, as the the
aters are, and they refuse to learn the
necessity of %cultivating the baseball
fever so that it will rage in their old
country and keep thousands awake who
now doze away a large part of the time.
An infant of three years was lost by his
mother in New York a few days ago.
and the police searched for hours and
finally found the infant sitting in the
grass heal a baseball diamond, where
professionals were playing to a big
audience, and ,ciapping his little hands
In the height of delight. They are born
to the game in the United States, and
never outgrow it.
But here is the London outlook say
ing of the great national game: 'In
itself baseball is a really fine game, but
there is 10 conscience in it. The field
ing side is allowed to yell at the man
with the club in order to rattle or put
him off his swipe, the spectators have a
right to make a diabolical din for the
same reason, and the unfortunate UNI
pire who gives a decision against the
fielding side is lost in a circle Of yell
Ing, gesticulating forms, clad like aero
bats" That is a dreadful arraignment,
but it has green eyes set all through 1t.
The British would be delighted with
Just such a scene if they only had the
vim to play the game, and the outlook
would be glad to help on the howlers
in the din. 1t refers to the opinion Of
baseball, and says they know how wide
and deep is the gulf which separates the
two games. Then it adds that the games
the United States has acquired from the
British the Americans have "garbled
into pursuits which we should not recog-
uize."
There is no question about that state
ment. The British cannot recognize
several of the sports which have been
imported and improved, as other British
institutions have been by Americans.
The claim is made also that the Austria
lians have gone wild over baseball, and
are spelling the only good game, cricket,
by slow degrees, and getting farther and
farther away from the glorious old
sports of the old country. The British
have seen the skill of Americans in the
games which are slow enough for the
old country, and they have lost impor-
tant contests to them so many times
that they should be able to see that the
American methods in the sports are as
far ahead of those of the British as are
the business methods which have placed
Americans far ahead in the markets of
the world.

Ing general orders: ARTILLERY fire Is
the best method of preparing an at.
tack; but, even when heavy guns are
used, firing at the enemy's position is
alone comparatively useless, SO long
as it is not taken advantage of for IN
infantry advance. The infantry must
always move forward, no matter how
slowly. Positions once occupied must
never be abandoned. If a strong coun.
ter attack is expected, prepare for it
with machine guns and hand gren-
AIDES. The former are especially use
full in some cases, but they require
perfect cleanliness and oiling and
constant care to effect small repairs
at once, even in the hottest Of the
fight. Pay especial attention to the
oiling cylinder and the loader. Ma.
chine guns must never be alone.
Troops advancing to the attack
must carry sandbags to construct
defensive positions, as at this season
the frozen ground cannot be broken.
When strong positions OF machine
guns are met with, a small force of
artillery, preferably of mountain guns,
must be brought up without horses
If the attack is along a greatly ex.
tended front, the village must be used
as fortified points to economic men,
and a thin line only must be kept be.
