Cricket dates from the reign Of
Queen Elizabeth and had its origin In

field waS--the first man of weight to
take it up seriously and Elton the first
public school. In those days scores

ball had heavy cross seams, the bats

most in Indian file. The early laws of
the game had their inception at the

one of the few of these original laws
which obtain today is that of the

Wide OoorWays.

In the making over of an old house.
as also in building a new one, it Is al
ways good plan to have the door
ways in tue rooms on the first floor
made unusually wide, almost as large
as the rooms themselves, for in this
way n greater sense of space and airi-
ness is given even when the house is
not large. Portieres may be hung in
these roomy doorways to keep away
drafts and TO give certain privacy,
but in warm summer days and also
when entertaining q large number OF
persons the portieres may be drawn
back and almost the entire ground
floor thus transformed into one large
room.-Baltimore American.

Is Considered by Governor as Man
for State Administration Board.
Trustees to Meet.

DIR. w E. Taylor, superintendent of
Watertown hospital. has requested the
board of trustees of the institution to
hold meeting either tomorrow or
Monday. for the purpose of consider
ing the matter of granting him a leave
of absence, or possibly receiving his
resignation What connection this ac-
ton has with the report that DR.. Tay-
lor is to become the alienist member
of the board of administration of the
state charitable institutions is not
known. but by many it is taken as in
.licating that DR.. Taylor's appointment
is, likely. Asked if be intended to re-
sign, DR.. Taylor said: 81 haven't had
a vacation in II years, and I'm going
to ask the board for a leave of alb
sence. Whether my leaving will be
temporary or permanent | can not now
say"
Speaking of the slate of the Chicago
Tribune, which credits Dir. Taylor with
being the man to receive the appoint
ment by Governor c. S. Deneen. DR.
Taylor said: There's nothing to that
or at least | have no notice or intima-
ton from the governor do not know
what prospect there is that I'll be ap-
pointed.
VIII he known Soon.
1t will soon be known whether DIR.
Taylor is TO be given the honor or
not, for to comply with the new law
creating the board, Governor Deneen
must name the members of the board
either today or tomorrow. There is a
general report throughout the state
that he is to be selected, and it is
known that Governor Deneen has con-
sidered him for the place. While his
many friends in the city will regret
his departure from the community,
they will be glad to see him honored
by the governor The place on the
state board is one of the best at the
governors disposal. 1t pays salary
of $4,000 a year. and requires the en-
tire time of the appointee.
Has Good Record.
DR.. Taylor has made a good record

land lying in three Indian reserva-

are in the Flathead reservation in

Washington.
The time for registering for lands
in these reservations is set for July
is to August 5, but the actual entry
will not be made until April /, 1910.
The Flathead Indian reservation is
located in western Montana, midway
between Kalispell on the north and
Clark Fork river en- the south 1t is
bounded on the east, west and south
by mountain ranges, and on the north
by line ten miles south OF the
forty-eighth parallel of latitude. 1t
is 60 miles long and 40 miles wide,
containing 1.425.00O acres.
The available lands in the F1athead
reservation consist of about 100000
acres of unreserved and non-mineral
lands. classified as first and second
class agricultural and grazing lands.
The land of the Flatheads is a re-
gion of noble mountains. fertile val
leys and splendid forests. The noun
tains are mostly covered with timber.
while the valleys and foothills are gen
orally prairie land. The Pend d'Oreille
river, one of the headwaters of the
Columbia, flows through the center
of the reservation, draining the largest
body of fresh water in the west, Flat
head lake, the southern half of which
lies within the reservation.

There are about 100000 acres of
land in the Occur d'Alene reaerva-

agricultural and timber land. This
reservation is said to contain some
very fine agricultural land.
Lake Occur d'Alene is a beautiful
body OF water about 25 miles in

ments We find ourselves in scene OF
beauty, and we can wander along the
banks for several miles lost in won
before US.
Below is a ravine down the center
OF which is a rushing stream. the bed
of which is strewn with huge rocks.
round which the water whirls and
lashes itself into foam. On either side
are precipitous hills densely wooded.
and we here and there obtain a
glimpse of banks of gigantic foxgloves
and other wild flowers, whilst near the
waters edge are ferns in bewildering
variety. some OF which are almost
tropical. reaching height of nearly
six feet.
A walk of about two miles brings US
to the famous .Watersmeet," where
the Coombe Water joins the Brendon
Water in succession of beautiful
falls, and the grandeur and manifold
beauties of the scenery at this point
may tempt us to remain here till We
to Lynmouth.
Should. however. we decide to pro
ceed. we can follow the Brendon Wa.
ter for another four or five miles
through scenery momentarily growing
more beautiful until we at length
reach Doone valley, where we can ex-
pore many of the points of interest
referred to in Blackmore's novel. in
cluding the famous Waterslide. and
the tiny church at Dare. in which
Lorna and Jan Kidd were married.
There are two or three routes by
which we can wend our way home
wards. each equally beautiful, but as
we are probably tired, we may find 1t
advisable to charter one OF the car
riages which ply for hire near the en-
trance OF the Doone valley.
A tiny cliff railway for a small cost
will take us from Lynmouth into Lyn-
ton near the North walk, probably the
finest coast walk in the kingdom. Cut
in the face OF the cliff between six and
seven hundred feet high with jagged
masses of rock towering above US for
another two or three hundred feet, we
have scene of superb grandeur. and
after a walk of about a mile find our
selves by Castle rock, and at the en-
trance of the famous Valley of Rocks.
Days and weeks fly quickly by in
exploring the beauties of this roman
tic little spot. Lee Bay End Woody
Bay are within easy distance and their
delightful glens. coombes and rushing
streams, beyond which is the steep
gorge of Heddons Mouth, whilst coach
rides to Ilfracombe, boat trips to

miliarizing ourselves with beauties OF
