The Government to Take Charge Of Flu
migation at Jacksonville.
JACKSONVILLE, Oct. 10.-A letter from
Surgeon General Hamilton in reference
to the intended fumigation of the city is
exciting great interest, The govern
ment proposes to take charge of the
work and will pay for all furniture,
clothing, etc, which it may be found
necessary to destroy. Houses especially
adapted for the work Of fumigation will
be built by the government. Mattresses
and pillows are to be burned, as it is be-
lieved that no amount OF boiling and
baking will thoroughly disinfect Shem.
DIR. Hamilton suggests the closing OF
houses which do not contain properly
built closets. A honse inspection is to
be begun as Don as possible, and all
condemned articles branded, SO that the
work of destruction can go on without
interruption as soon as the disiufecting
establishments are ready.

Lost Mines of Missouri.

Tradition tells Of the existence of
rich silver mines south of the Dent
County line, in Shannon. These mines
were worked in the last century by
Spaniards or Frenchmen, according to
tradition, and the silver bars were
shipped down the Current River in
little fatboats. But with all the
searching, later explorers have not
been able to discover the old workings.
The best information locates the rich
lodes in the wild, mountainous country
between the Dent County line and En-
inence, the county seat of Shannon.
One Of the strongest believers in the
tradition is Dr. Terrell. He lives in
the northern part of Shannon, prac
tees his profession among the noun
taineers, and occupies all his leisur,
days hunting for the lost silver mines.
He has been doing this for years. He
carries giant powder, and prospects
wherever he finds good indications, all
the time keeping his eyes open for the
long-abandoned shaft. - st. Louis

it requires considerable skill to play it
well, and always proves to be most
exciting diversion on board ship.
"Another game that is. almost equally
popular, and to which the horse bill
iardists resort when that game be-
comes tiresome, is ring-toss. It is sim
liar in most respects to the game OF
quoits as played on terra firma. In
stead OF quoits, there are rings made
of rope wound hard around wire. Iron
or wooden rings would be too likely
to roll over the side OF the boat if they
should strike on the deck edgeways.
The rings are usually OF different sizes.
of from two feet OF so in diameter down
to six inches, and they are of values
corresponding in an inverse ratio to
their SIZE. No ring will count unless
it encircles peg driven into Il heavy
block of wood at some distance from
the players. This block of wood is
large enough to prevent it's being
mo9ed by any blows which may be
given to it by poorly aimed throw.
"The rules for this game are no more
than have indicated. Every play to
count must be q ringer, and the value
Of each ringer will vary according to
the diameter of the ring which has
been tossed. The points which com
plete the game may be any number
chosen by the party, and there is no
general rule regarding this.
"These are two standard sports on
the different lines OF the transatlantic
boats. Sometimes the younger male
blood Of the passengers disports itself
in a game OF leap-frog on deck. This
is an agreeable and exhilarating exer

which seems to be developed in neal! y

much scope here as it does in horne

literally stumbling-block to all other
PLAYERS who wish to get into the upper
semi-circle. If, however, any player
chances to knock the block from
it's position in square l completely
within the semi-circle, 1t makes tnst
first block count ten instead OF the one
originally allowed to it. The count,
however, is not secure unless all the
PLAYS have been made, for any other
player is at liberty, if he can, to
knock the block out from that semi
circle, and beyond the limits OF the
board. In such case the player gets
nothing to his credit. Again, suppose
a player just manages to get his block
across the line. It is then directly IN
the way of all succeeding players, and
undoubtedly skillful horse billiard1st
would make it his first effort to carom
against the Objectionable block and get
it out of the course of the play il he
could. Some players are so sklllful
that they can carom in this way upon
an interposing block and knock it out
of the course, while, at the same time,
they bring their own block to rest
within one of the good scores upon
the board. Naturally such players are
those who have crossed the Atlantic
many times, and have had many OPP
portunities to indulge in tine game.
CAS- every block is played in success
sion the difficulties increase. There IS
always the possibility of so playing
that opponents may be put into bet
ter or worse condition, or a friends
block changed in position. The squares
on the board are so large that two or
three different blocks have room
enough, if properly placed, to count
in each one, but it generally happens
that most of the blocks played touch
the lines of the squares in some way
so that the play does not count. When
ship has been out of port several
days, if if has been fair weather, this
game generally becomes so popular
that regular sides play at it day after
day, and in that case an umpire is fire.

Il have always believed that, human
nature being the same the world over.
and in all conditions of life, it needs
only varying of the conditions to
make people OF every grade enter
into the most common sports of this
age. That is, if very rich and re-

her lot cast among those who played
hop-scotch or quoits, they would as
readily indulge in those games as they
do in lawn tennis and Waiting. And

trip out to the shops every day, the
afternoon drive in the park, the social
calls or the theater or opera in the

crosses that line, the play has to count
no matter even if the block does not
touch the board at all. Although the
blocks are played from point at
considerable distance from the board,
at any distance which the players may
choose, there being nc general rule,
they are not showed along the deck bv
hand. The reason for this, I presume.
lies mainly in the fact that, as ladies
take part in the game, it would be in
convenient and awkward for them to
stoop over to the extent that thev
would in order to play the blocks by
hand. Besides that, the game would
be comparatively easy if the hands
could be used.
when game is about to be played,
a requisition is usually made upon the
steward for long sticks, which it is sus-
pected were formerly attached to the
broad end of a broom. The game is
usually made to end. at fifty points, al
though, of course, any other number
may be chosen. It can be played by
two OF any even number of players.
The resting of block completely
within any one of the sections OF the
board counts for a player whatever
figure has been chalked within that
section. It is in many respects sci
entific game, for, in the first place, it
requires deal of knack to send the
blocks even approximately in the di-
rection desired by the player. The
first attempts usually result in sending
the block off to one side in such way
that it cannot possibly count anything
for the player. The general aim Of
course of the first player would be to
send his block into the upper semi
circle, and so secure a score
OF ten for his side. But sup
pose that, instead OF getting it into
that section, it comes to rest in the
square numbered l. If it does not
touch any OF the four boundaries of
that section he is credited with one,
and his block has to stay there until
the rest of the play has been finished.
Remaining there in that section, it is
