anything but praise for the action of the rulemakers Tn giving the defend ing side the option of a kickout or
 J -tsir-y the ball in play by scrimmage o it~ :s-. ard line
 Atty oI.r who has witnessed many gaines will recall instances in which tho s.le kicking off, with the, aid of the wn'd or an exceptionally strong kilk2I. has been able to kick the ball over the goal line. This play robs
 the deftnding side of chance to prop Ierly irott ct itself, for it gives the
 tean. ;nas should have been on the
 descnsive sr opportunity to, run back the klok-off srg put the ball in play ty so,'immage within striking distance
 os the opponents goal. 1t also takes away from the offending side the op-
 pot unity to make fair catch and
 tn,.:i ,.ick q eca from field.
 End to Receive Forward Pass.
 The purpose of the committee in fix ing zone within which an end must
 stand to be eligible to receive the for
 ward pass is for the benefit of the officials There have been mum )Gs instances in which touchdowns have been disalloyed because the off ,ials
 did not agree as to the position of an |, end in taking the forward pass. in- asmuch as it will not always be sn easy matter for the official to oete- .
 mine just what is the position Of tte end, there will probably be some con ficts of opinion about it, but the new
 rule will reduce them greatly.
 No Numbers on Players.
 Although the committee has been
 quick enough to make sucn chang ss
 in the rules as will simplify the vol k of the officials, they have l.esn eY-
 tremely slow to make changes .O fen- eft the spectators. A case n pCip. is
 their refusal to pass a rule comp lin :;
 the players to be numbered aee IT ling to their positions. The principal oen- eft to be derived from such .s system
 would be that the spectators, b. ref erence to their programmes yvull be
 able to identify their players. Now !
 adays it is virtually impossible for cue in the stands to recognize his ovn brother in helmet, headgear and the other habiliments of modern football.
 This is the system that is followed in
 England, where the uniforms arc ex-
 tremely simple. and there is conse- quently much greater reason for such a system in this country.

l IMPORTANT CHANGES IN FOOTBALL RULES
Goal from Field Points-New Con- ditions for this Season Explained.


 Although the changes in the rules under which football will be played this fall are not very radical, compared with some of previous year, they are, nevertheless, of extreme importance. These changes, rather than being alter at.cns in the game, tend to eliminate urfairness in the rules and to make the offense and defense more equal. Tie following are the important changes in the 1909 rules:
 1. The value of goal from field. whether a place or drop kick, is re- ddced from to points.
 ,. The side having a kickout has the option of making the kick. as un- der the old rules. or putting the ball dowr for a scrimmage on their 25- yarc line.
 8. In case an end rush of the offend ing side stands more than one foot back of the line of scrimmage, but less than a yard back, he is not eligible to receive a forward pass.
 Of these three changes the first two are probably of the most importance There is already a wide divergence of CrIrion as to the wisdom of the com n, itee in reducing the value of Q goal from field. It will be noticed that the rules committee acts on this point at r guler intervals, usually after a sea son in which two or three big teams have developed star goal kicker Sev- eral years ago they reduced the value Of such goal from five to four points. Now they have decided that it is worth o..ly three points. They argue from the standpoint that touchdown is at leas. equal to two field goals, and that the latter method of scoring places a pr. IT. ium on chance.
 On the other hand the advocates of tnn liCking game claim that the chief criticisms against the field goals come ftcn. the SC teams which persistently neglect this method of scoring.
 Option of kickout or Scrimmage. No student of the game can have

A Horses Toe Nails,

Few persons realize that a horses
hoof is really the same thing as the
toe nails Of human beings or Of ami
mails having toes. The horn Of a hoof
grows just as a toe nail does. The
hoof grows more rapidly in unshod
horses than in those wearing shoes.
and It grows faster in horses which
are well groomed and well fed. But
on an average the horn grows about a
third Of an inch a month. Hind hoofs
grow faster than fore hOofs The toe
of the hoof being the longest part. it
takes longer for the horn to grow
down there than at the heel For in
stance, the toe will grow entirely down
in from eleven TO thirteen months,
while the heel will grow down in from
three TO five months. AS the new horn
grows out any cracks or defects in the
old gradually work down to where
they can be cut of. just as with human
finger nails you can watch the progress
of a bruise from the root to the tip

Whistler as a Letter Writer.


Early Mr.. Whistler as a letter writer
became a parsonage TO be reckoned
with. His pen was very frequently
dipped in gall. but it is joy to read
him, with, his very delightful personal
style. No one ever wrote quite like
him. Hamerton, with whom he had
many passes. always to the critics
great discontinue, once, in reviewing
his Symphony In White" stupidly
called attention to the fact that there
were many other tints in the picture
besides white. There was, he main
tanned, the reddish hair of the woman,
for instaHse; her flesh color. a bit Of
blue ribbon, and so on. Whistler re-
sponded: "Bon Dieu, did this wise per-
son expect white hair and chalked
faces? And does he then, in his as
founding consequence, believe that a
symphony in F contains no other note,
but shall be a continued repetition of
FFFF?" 80 Fool" And. of course.
the world is familiar with Whistler's
studied insolence in his reply to a COM
munication in the New York Tribune
by Hamerton, who complained that
whistler refused to answer his letters.
whistler referred to the writer as "a
Mr.. Hamerton," which made Hamer-
ton perfectly furious and so served

Ancient Skates.

The English chronicler has recorded
that the youth Of London in the twelfth
century understood the art Of flying
over the ice like birds in the air. but
the origin Of skating is far more an
cient. An Icelandic saga relates how
the Norwegian hero Frithjof not only
traced verses upon the polished mirror.
but also cut the dear name Of Inge-
bord. Skates have been discovered
near spandau, in Germar6. which those
competent to express an opinion at
tribute to n period of 5000 years ago.
These skates were made from bones
Of horses, figured and perforated to at
tach to the sandal. Similar skates
have been found at Moorfields, in Fins
bury, and like discoveries have been
made in Berlin in the bed of the Spree
These and similar discoveries, we
learn, enable the authorities to con-
clude that the European ice area in
prehistoric times extended from Great
Britain to Finland and from Norway
to Hungary London Globe.
