TAKING A BASEBALL THE WINDING PROCESS IS DONG = IN SECRET, f The Work ig Performed. in a Locked Room--The Best Used for the ( Overs, In the center of the standard base ball, as used by the professional play- ers, there is a globe of compressed cork covered with rubber. This globe is about an inch in diameter and around it are wound a few layers of coarse twine. It is then sent to the winding room, where machines first" wind on thick four ply blue yarn. At frequent intervals the ball is soaked in 'a ce ment solution and put aside to dry. Many different workers bave to do with the winding of the ball. Each workman tests it for size and weight before he passes it along. "The ma. chines insure tight and even winding and there are different machines for different sizes of yarn. These machines are operated in secret in a locked room, When the ball has been wound to the proper size with blue and white yarh and has been dipped in the solution, it is wound finally with smaller yarn. Thus the firm, rough center is overlaid with finer and finer material until at' last it is smooth and perfect, ready for the cover. The best horsehide obtainable is used for covers. The pieces are cut by hand and dampened and stretched. The ball is. put into clamps and the coversewed on with cotton thread, which has a greater frictional strength than linen or silk. Each ball is sewed by hand and tten put into a machine that irons down the seams. The polishing is done by still another machine. Then, after being stamped and wrapped, the ball is ready for market.

Horschide is And the Earliest Religious Services on Manhattan fsland. " _ The first religious service tn Man. hattan Island was held in 1628, This resulted in the organization of 'a church, the services of which were held in the upper story of a mill which grofind the grain of the colonists. The first minister was Jonas Michaellus and the first elder Peter Minuit, direc. tor genera} of New Netherland. The first church building on Manhat tan Island was situated on Pearl street, between Whitehall and Broad streets, facing the East river. This structure was a poor, plain building of wood and constructed in 1633 by the West India company. Its congregation was' presided over by Dominie Bogardus, the second clergyman of New Amster dam, and was regarded as a more fit- ting place than the loft of the mill for public worship. Wiliam Kleth, director general of the West India company, caused to be erected a church outside of Fort Am- sterdam, which contained three long, narrow windows on each side, fitted: with small panes of glass set in lead, on which were burned the coats of arms of the chief parishioners. This building was erected in the meadow of Mrs. Dominie Drisius and fronted on 8 lane, now called Exchange place. In those days, however, it was known as "Garden alley." A large bowl of solid silver for bastismal services was made by the silver workers in Holland.

[ Not 'Injurious to the Eyes if a Fiw . Simple Rules Are Observed, To those addicted to the practice of reading no' bed the remarks of Dr. Carl Seiler will be of interest. He states that there Is no valid reason to | be urged against using the eyes in a proper manner in a. recumbent posi | don--such use is the least tiresome | and can be persisted in for longer per. lods without damage than any other position, 'We all know that grave damage often 'done by reading in a recimbent posture, but therein possibly some oc nlists are at fault. Had it been the universal practice during the last { twenty or thirty years to give careful | directions how to read lying down in, | stead of saying to one and all, "You must not read lying down," thers would be less near sight and better eyes In the community than now exist. Three easily avoided errors cause all the barm possible froin reading lying down, the first often leading to the other two.
