ENGLAND. oldes, Bowling Green.

Which is our oldest recreation?
There are not wanting psychologists
who profess to be able to trace refer
ences to football and baseball on
Egyptian moral tablets. However,
when it comes to actual records, the
fine old English game of bowls would
appear TO be as old as any.
Southampton, Eng, has records
showing that one of the local bowling
greens was in existence in 1899.
Many interesting customs are asso-
ciated with the game on this historic
green. Every summer a fire jack"
competition Is held, and an order OF
knighthood is conferred on the win
ner, who kneels in the center OF the
green while the other players gather
round him and the master touches
him with a sword and dubs him sir"

Perhaps you have wondered why base

He was running forward to take a
base hit on the first bound. The ball
bounced crooked and hit him on the

ball out of the pocket and instead Of

batter passed the fielder and turned

that which happened to Frank Isbell
when he was playing with St Paul in
the old Western league. In those
days baseball on Sunday was not per-
mltted within the corporation limits
of st. Paul. and a Sunday park had
been erected outside the city's juris-
diction. The ground was extremely
small and was Enclosed by high
fence. So small was the Enclosure
that batters hitting the ball hard
against the fences were compelled to
sprint TO first, because IL the ball hap
pened to rebound directly to the field
er, he could throw a slow runner out,
AS 1t required about four hits of their
equivalent In errors to yield run,
small scores were the rule. In the
ninth inning Of this game Milwaukee
had two runs the advantage and there
were runners on first and second with
Isbell at bat. st. PaIl's only logical
hope was for a home run over one of
the high fences. Isbell hit a hard
line smash to right field against the

Who Spend Their Lives In Peace
and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF
Their Domestic Manners.

Marker, Holland.-Marken, too
small and unimportant to be found on
many maps, Is a quaint community Of
about 1000 people. who live on IL
small islands in the Zuyder Zee.
These small, sandy knobs are con-
nected by narrow brick foot bridges
and protected by dikes. Red-roofed,
gabled houses made of wood, and
tarred. or ornamented by paint in red
During spring freshets the inhabitants
are sometimes obliged to remain on
the upper floors, or drown. Stairs
are unknown, SO the ascent is made
by ladders. After the annual spring
bath the uneven little streets look
fresher and brighter than ever and
the place is a real spotless town.
Only the newer houses have chin
neys. In the older ones the smoke
from constant peat fires must escape
through small, square "smoke-hole"
in the roof. The chimney place Is
faced with tiles-usually blue-and
the hearth is black thing rubbed to
a polish. Everywhere there is gleam-
ing brass and copper and the whole
house shines. Personally, the people
are also very neat; but, strange to say,
large, fat-looking heas are plentiful
more plentiful than our mosquitoes!
The kitchen, usually the living room
as well, is the largest in the house.
From the beams overhead hang hams,
strings of driving fish wilma iups and
native delicacies. At the windows are
green shutters and lace curtains. The
floors are made of wide planks, highly
vanished to a dark brown. Chairs
have rush bottoms and slat backs.
Wellscoured candlesticks are numer-

carved cabinet filed with rare treas
ures that would gladden. the heart Of
a connoisseur. Each man has
treasure chest" of his own, which is
kept securely locked, and the contents
often remain a mystery to his wife
and family.
Not far from the big chimney are
the beds-and such beds! They are
built in the wall, on a decided slant
the head being much higher than the
foot! There Is a feather mattress,
coarse linen sheets, quilts and last,
but not least, always a thick cover
stuffed with feathers until it re-
sembles another small mattress. AZ
