QUEER CIRCUIT CLOUT.
Most Remarkable Home. Run
Drive by CutshsaW.
brooklyn Player Makes Accidental
Hit That Eventually Terminated
In Zig-Zag Course Over
Right Field Fence.

George Cutshaw of the Dodgers
exuded circuit clout against the
Phillies q week or so ago, which will
romp down through the wales of his
tory as the most remarkable since the
game was born.
1t was a drive that Cutshaw made
in an accidental way to start with;
swat that sent the ball in Zig-Zag
course to the fence; and tally that
was flukey in the extreme because
after the ball hit near the bottom Of
the fence it practically crawled up to
top, fiuttered there a second or So
and then dropped over. Cutshaw's
ludicrous actions while the ball was
deciding what 1T should do form the
humorous chapter in the story.
The score was. tied in the eleventh
when Cutshaw went to bat, facing
Mayer. The Phillie pitcher heaved a
slow one at the DOdger second sacker
CutShaw started swing, went half
way down and then ''tumbled" to the
fact that the ball was a flOater. He
pulled" his stroke but just as he
stopped, he noticed that the ball was
curving in, whereupon he made an
othe" swipe at it and through some
freak caught it on the end of the
mace.
Ball Tipped Along.
The ball shot through the air, about
ten feet above ground. 1t sailed just
inside the right-field foul line, turning
and twisting as it went. To the spec
tators watching the ball tipping along,
it looked like succession of inshoOts.
AS it neared the fence it started to
descend. 1t struck board which
was nailed to the bottom of the fence,
but which jutted out about three feet.
AS the ball hit that board just
where the top of this board and the
fence meet, it seemed to hesitate for
fraction of second. Then, to the
utter amusement of the crowd. II

A Erinued Centerpjece.

A rather novel idea for a large GEN.
terpiece Is to use instead of scallops a
narrow lace insertion on the edge, and
finish this with a plain fringe instead
Of the usual lace edging. 1t is much
prettier than one would expect.
The centerpiece should be larger than
twenty-eight inches, for If smaller a
number of little plaits would have to
be made on the inner edge Of the inser-
ton to make it fit around the center
piece. The lace should be coarse
cluny. not necessarily expensive, for
many of the limitations that are ma
chine made are quite pretty.
A narrow fringe as plain as possible
is best to use. Frequently where the
lace joins the materials and also where
the lace and fringe meet line OF col
ored stitching Is used.

LEGEND OF THE CLOCK DIAL.

tered to Read IIjl,

tered to Read I'LL.
1t Is tradition among watchmakers
that the first clock that In any way
resembled those now in use was made
by Henry Wick in 1870. He made it for
Charles V. Of France. who has been
called "The Wise.''
Charles was wise In q good many
ways. He was wise enough to recover
from England most Of the land which
Edward Ill. had conquered, and he did
a good many other things which bene-
flied France. But his early education
had been somewhat neglected. Still,
he had a reputation for wisdom. and
thought that it was necessary, In order
to keep 1t up. that he should also be
supposed to possess book learning. The
latter was a subject he was extremely
tOuchy about.
So the story runs in this fashion:
eyes. the clock works WELL" said
Charles, "but," being anxious to find
some fault with thing he did not un-
derstand, 'you have the figures on the
dial wrong"
wherein. your majesty?" asked
Wick.
'eThat four should be four Ones" said
the king.
"You are wrong. your majesty" said
wick.

king. "Take it away and correct the
mistake" And corrected 1t was. and

CANNING HELPS.
The Department of Agriculture
Tells Us How to Preserve.
THE WAYS TO SAVE SUGAR.

fruits Put Up without SIrup Do Mo-
Retain Their Color Well, but The,
Are Excellent For Sauces, Salads ane
Desserts That Are Sweet Enough.
In these days Of high prices, with
sugar foremost on the aviation list,
many housewives have taken serious
thought as to the ACCESSIBILITY of put
ting up less fruit than usual. .-
This is pity, because home canned
fruit is not only safe and sure, but
most delicious. 1t need not be as rich
as preserves. In fact, many epicures
regard fruit as refreshing In exact pro-
portion to the smallness of the amount
Of sugar used to preserve.
Fruit for use In pie or salads or as
stewed fruit can be put up or canned
without the use of any sugar at all.
The canning specialists Of the depart
ment of agriculture advise the house
wives who, In order to economic on
sugar, have been thinking of reducing
the amount of fruit they put up, to
can as much of their surplus as posi-
BILE by the use Of boiling water when
sugar strip is beyond their means.
Any fruit, say the specialists, may
be successfully sterilized and retained
In the pack by simply adding boiling
water instead Of the hot strip.
The use Of sugar., Of course, is de-
sirable In the canning of all kinds of
fruits and makes better and ready
sweetened product. Moreover. most
Of the fruits when canned in water
alone do not retain their natural fla
vor, texture and color as well as fruit
put up In strip. Fruit canned without
sugar-to be used for sauces or desserts
must be sweetened.

Gull, stem or seed and clean the fruit
by placing it in strainer and pouring
water over 1t until it is clean.
Pack closely in glass jars or tin cans
until they are full, using the handle of
q tablespoon. wooden ladle or table
knife for packing purposes.
Pour over the fruit boiling water
from kettle; place rubbers and caps
In position; partially seal If using glass
Jars; seal completely If using tin cans.
Place the containers in sterilizing

STYLES IN CHINA.
Six Times Year Clothing Changes rs
if by Signal.

" py oI9ndis
The Chinese are nothing If not con-
sentative in the matter Of dress. It is
the custom in China, as If by direct or
der, to change regularly the style of
dress. 1t appears that there are no
less than six distinct changes of attire
that every self respecting Chinese of
any Importance must make, according
to the season-heavy furs in the depth
Of winter, then light furs, then wadded
garments, then lined clothes, unlined.
and finally what the Chinese them
selves call summer Clothes" made of
China grass. These are In white and
blue.
The Chinese wear caps made of
plated bamboo. lightly covered. with
silk. In the height Of summer none
but officials wear caps. There are or
binary black covered lined caps, and
there are fur trimmed hats and fur
caps.
Foreigners have been particularly
struck by the fact that on the same
day and throughout the vast country
stretching over nearly as many degrees
Of latitude as America men change
from one cap to another, from one style
Of clothing to another. as though by
signal
Occidental tailors have good word
for Chinese clothes. They aver that

feet" so far as convenience goes, and
In the opinion of many they are peculi-

ORIGIN of Eoxe,s "Book Of Martxr..r -

Origin Of Foxes "Book Of Martyrs"
Foxes Book Of Martyrs" was pub
lished in March. 1862, as the "Actes
and Monuments Of the martyrs,
title borrowed from an earlier book,
says the London Chronicle. The Ia
nous volume might never have ap-
peared at all but for the association of
Foxe with the printer Day Of Alders-
gate street, in whose business Foxe
took an active part. On the tomb
stone of Day ia the church of Little
Bradley, Suffolk, the partnership is
thus immortalized:
He ct Fox to writ how martyrs runne

To give them light. Daye spent In print
