When a snap-back is to be made they arrange themselves in this way:
Center holds the ball, behind him stands quarterback; more to the rear
is full-back, with left half-back and right half-back a little to the
front. Flanking these and slightly in advance are the two ends.

But all boys, even trained foresters, are apt to get lost in strange
woods; but no matter the person, it is well to know what to do under
such circumstances. As a rule the denser growth of moss on trees is on
the north side. This knowledge may help find the direction; but it is
better to carry a small pocket compass.

This consists of half a dozen circular wooden boxes, one within the
other, the outer box having much the appearance, but being nearly
double the size, of an ordinary tooth-powder box, and the smallest
being just large enough to contain a quarter. The series is so
accurately made that, by arranging the boxes in due order one within
the other, and the lids in like manner, you may, by simply putting on
all the lids together, close all the boxes at once, though they can
only be opened one by one.

The foot mentioned in this title is not the foot marked on a United

The hexagonal or coffin-shaped kite is more reliable than the old
sort, and is quite as cheap and as easily made. Kites of both these
kinds have been used to get a line from a stranded vessel to the
shore, and engineers have used them. They did it when the first
suspension bridge was built at Niagara, to get a line across the
chasm, which gradually grew into the great suspending cables.

To make a fair division of labor in laying out a field, let three boys
agree to furnish the iron staples, and posts for the bases and
pitcher”s position, seven in all. The four for the pitcher”s box may
be anywhere from three to six inches square at the top, and two feet
long; those for the bases being three inches in diameter; and all of
these sharpened to drive in like stakes. The staples, three in number,
should be two inches wide. Let three others agree to furnish the
bases; one boy to provide the six pieces of stuff–about sixteen
inches square, another boy to furnish three two inch straps with
buckles, or else sufficient rope. The straps must not be less than a
yard long. The third boy can see that the bags are looped for the
straps, stuffed and properly sewn. Three other boys can agree to
furnish the home plate, and to bring to the ground implements for
marking and laying out, viz.: a tape line two hundred feet long, a
supply of cord, a sharp spade, a sledge hammer to drive stakes, a
small hammer to drive in staples, some lime to mark out the lines, and
a pail to wet it in. A tennis marker will save much work. The best
ball to purchase is the regular ‘league’ ball. These balls are the
most uniform in manufacture and quality, and give the best
satisfaction in the long run. It is worth while to purchase more than
one, because it often happens that wet grass ruins the cover of the
ball. When a base ball has been used in wet weather it should be put
aside, and the next time the nine wish to practice on a wet day this
ball, which will be very hard, should be used. As soon as it is wet it
softens again, and it is just as useful as a new one would be after
wetting. Constant wetting rots the covers, but a harness-maker will
re-cover the balls, and they can be used for practice.
