In making skirts, be sure to have all

pattern on material, If material has a

which would prevent its matching

For long time dog owners have
been at loss to know just how they
could place permanent Identification
marks upon their pets. Dog collars
are out of the question on account Of
the NUMEROUS petty thieves who make
a specially of stealing them. from dogs
all over the city. An inventive China
man of the Tenderloin, who heard of
the thieves operations, has hit upon
a plan which makes collars useless.
His name is Len Hung, and he is an
expert in tattooing. Len reads the
lost and found columns in the news
papers and gets in touch with dog
owners all over the city. He tattoos
the masters initials under the dogs
left ear and also any private mark
that the owner desires. The marks
are guaranteed to last as long as the
ear or until the animal is ready for
dog heaven.-Philadelp Record.

make the circuit unless the team in
the field had an opportunity to get the

There were no uniforms then, and
the only score kept was the number
of runs
1t was because Of differing rules
under which the infant game was
played in various parts of the East
that convention of clubs was called
to assemble in Smiths, .462 Broome
street. New York.
The preliminary meeting was held
in March, and at the same place in
May, two months later, the new rules
we're adopted.
sion was formally adopted every
where: I
For the first few years after the
formation of the new rules there was
no recognized championship, but by
1866 the best clubs met each other in
tween the Athletics of Philadelphia
and the Atlantics Of Brooklyn were
accepted as determining which was
the best club in the United States
The grounds then were far less pre-
tentious than now, being little more
than an open field, with a stand for
the favored spectators, rope stretched
round to keep the crowd that now sits
in the bleachers from encroaching on
the playing space, and a little club
house for the players.
Rules have changed often in the
fifty years since the first meeting.

Flames From the Water.
| Natural gas is a wonderful thing,
and the tricks it can play seem to up
set many laws of nature. Up Deer
Creek, in Allen county, a short dis
tance from the big gusher recently
brought in by the Prime Western
Spelter company, the drillers have a
pumping plant to supply the boiler Of
| the drill rig with water. Among the
pipes that are run down to the creek
is one carrying the gas which leaks
from the casing of the big we'll. This
pipe has been run out into midstream
and the escaping gas causes the water
to boil Violently. The escaping gas
has been ignited, and. so this boiling
fountain in the middle Of the creek
burns with a hot, boiling flame, each
bubble being filled with gas. The
sight at night is weird, and such a
fountain would be attractive in park
but for the fact that good quantity
of gas would be consumed.-Kansas
