SnuarinE the Circle.

The origin of the problem squaring
the circle is almost ost in b mists of
antiquity. but there is a record of an
attempted ~Quadrature in Egypt ooo
years before the exodus of the Jews.
There is also a claim. according to
Hone, that the problem was solved by
a discovery Of Hippocrates, the geo
metrician of Chios-not the physician
500 B. c.. Now, the efforts Of Hippo
rates were devoted toward converting
a circle into a crescent, because he had
found that the area of a figure pro-
duced by drawing W perpendicular
radii in a circle is exactly equal to the
triangle formed by the line Of junction.
This is the famous theorem of the
'lunes of Hippocrates' and is. like
glauber's salts out of b philosophers
stone, an example of the useful results
which sometimes follow a search for
the unattainable.

Purify These and You Will Be Safe

DISINFEC1ING THE ONLY PREVENTIVE
BORAy, A sILPIE, SAFE AND SUSIE METHOD

How to keep our homes clean, sweet and free from germ influences is a ques- tion.
 While there is no occasion for alarm, 1t is always well to be forearmed on the theory that An Ounce of Prevention Is Better Than Pound of Cure" and no ounce of prevention has yet been dis covered that is more simple, more di- rect and more effective, yet harmless to the human system, than is BoraX. BoraX has been known and used for generations as a purifier and preventive against epidemic influences originating g from uncleanly conditions resulting from unsanitary sinks and drains, and when used as hot solution in the proportion of two tablespoonfuls to a gallon of hot water flushed through the offending locations, removes every trace of dis
 ease germs and renders the pipes clean and wholesome.
 Borax in addition to it's hygenic quail ities, is household necessity, and can be used for numberless domestic pur- poses. It softens the water, makes lin- en dazzling white, will cleanse every article in the kitchen -or dining room
 and make it bright will prevent moths. soften and whiten the skin, remove dandruff and cleanse the scalp, and for cleansing and steriliZing baby's milk bottle and nipple has no equal. BoraX, unlike every other cleanser
 and disinfectant, is absolutely harmless | to the system. and is safe. simple. eco-
 nomical, and can be purchased at any druggist or grocer.

 MATlSM AT HOME.

 der Trouble Promptly.

There is so much Rheumatism everywhere that the following advice by an eminent authority, who writes for readers of large Eastern daily paper, will be highly appreciated by those who suffer:
 Get from any good pharmacy one half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one ounce Compound Kargon, three ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsapar- fila. Shake these we'll in bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime; also drink plenty of good water.

 This simple recipe is said to strengthen and cleanse the elimina- tive tissues of the Kidneys so that they can filter and strain from the blood and system the poisons, acids and waste matter, which cause not only Rheumatism, but numerous other diseases. Every man or woman here who feels that their kidneys are not healthy and active, or who suffers from any urinary trouble whatever, should not hesitate to make up this mixture, as it is certain to do much good, and may save you from much misery and suffering after while.

BEGINNINGS OF BASEBALL.
>oooo0ooooooOooo
~~~O-N%~~~

Henry Chadwick is generally recog. nized as the Father of American Base ball." The game. which plays the same part in national favor here as does cricket in England, was developed from the old-fashioned sport of round. ers." MT. Chadwick says a few words in regard to primitive baseball in an article in Outing.
 Little did dream sixty years ago when, as boy in England, I was play ing rounders, that I should become head gardener, so to speak, .2 develop ing the little English acorn of a game into the great oak of American base ball.
 The history of the American game dates from the first National Associa- tion of Baseball in New York in 1858. The first series of important match games was played between picked hines of Brooklyn and New York. at Flush Ing, In the same year. Nearly two thousand persons. large crowd for those days, paid their fifty cents head to see the contest.
 The rules of baseball were very crude in those days. The pitchers po- sition was simply limited to a twelve foot line forty-fiye feet from the home base, behind which he could take any number of slips he wished. All he>was required to do was to pitch the ball as near as possible over the home base. There was no penalty for wild pitch. ing. or for refusing to strike at fair balls. I once saw pitcher deliver six ty balls to a single batsman In one h. ming before there was strike.
 Not until 1870 were there any para phernalia for defense. Old-time catch ers' hands were a sight, with their cracked joints and bruised palms.
