Golf Balls.

History tells us that at first golf balls
were nothing but round or nearly
round pebbles about the size of the
sphere used at present. These were
supplanted by the hand cut wooden
balls and then in turn by the feather
ball. Then came the gutta percha ball,
OF which an interesting story is told.
1t is said a caddie in Scotland picked
up discarded football shoe with Il
gutta percha sole and tore off the sole.
This he soaked in water until it was
soft and then nodded it with his hands
to the size Of a golf ball. Thence it
was only a step to the nodded and
hammered gutta percha balls, which
endured until as late as 1898, when the
rubber cored ball was first brought out
in the United States.
The rubber cored ball, the foundation
OF the ball of the present, was not TAX
en- into England until three or four
years later, and it is interesting to note
that in 1905 Aleck Herd, who was the
only player in the field using the ball,
won the British open championship
with it.-New York Sun.

AN INNOCENT VICTIM.
The Original of Squeers Died of a
Broken Heart

The Original of Squeers Died of a
Broken Heart.
The grossest injury which Dickens
ever inflicted on fellow being was
his too accurate portrait of an inno-
cent man in his Squeers. That York
shire SchOOlmaSterS were, as a rule,
cruel and wicked enough it is true, but
the particular schoolmaster who was
recognized and who recognized him
self as the original Squeers seems to
have been an exception to the rule.
1t will be remembered that Dickens
and his illustrator Travelled together
to the north of England for the pur-
pose Of collecting material for 'Nick-
1eby" and especially for the Dothe-
boys episode. Cat Greta Bridge they
visited a boarding school known as
Bowes academy, The master, William
Shaw, received the strangers with
some hauteur and did not as much as
withdraw his eyes from the operation
Of penmaking during the interview.
Phiz sketched him in the act; Dick
ems described the act. The personal
peculiarities Of William Shaw were
recognized in Squeers. Shaw became
butt Of popular ridicule, lost his pu-
pills and finally died of a broken heart.
Yet there is abundant evidence to
prove that he was really excellent
and kind hearted man, who was made
to suffer for the misdeeds of his neigh
bors.-EXchange.

Feathered Surgeons.


Sn1pe and woodcock have often been
taken with a mass Of feathers on one
OF the legs. This mass when exam
ined has always been found to cover
a broken bone. The feathers have been
carefully and neatly twisted round the
part where the limb was fractured in
such way as to prove that they had
been put On Intentionally as bandage
or splint, and the repairs have been
made quite as skillful as if performed
by a qualified surgeon.
A well known naturalist actually
watched a woodcock through his
glasses drag a broken leg to the mar
gin of stream. There the bird took
some clay and. after working it into
paste with it's beak, smeared it round
the leg in layer after layer, adding a
number of downy feathers which it
plucked from it's own back and breast.
When the operation was finished the
bird stood still for more than an hour.
no doubt to give the plaster time to
set.
wounds On other parts of the body
have also been found plastered in the
same way.-London Answers.
