THE GAME OF TEN PINS.
Something of Its Origin and How 1t I
Played in America.

Something of Its Origin and How It IL
Played in America.
Bowling is an ancient and noble sport. At
an carly period it was a favorite pastime in
England. 1t was first played on tho open
ground. 1t was the custom to clean up, shave
and roll tho turf and then DOW with balls
which were fiat on one side. 1t became SO
popular us q means of sport and gambling
that during the reign of King Henry VIII it
was prohibited by a law, which was not re.
pealed until lS45.
AT an early period in the history of Amer.
lea it was introduced in this country and was
very popular.
Every one who has been much in New York
city is familiar with the open park on lower
Broadway near the Battery, which is still
known to many as Bowling Green.
In the historic days, when that part of the
city was New Amsterdam, this open space
was used as q public bowling ground. Hence
the name.
In more modern times the game Of "bowlsr
has been improved upon, and it isnow known

sixty-iive feet in length, made of hard wood
aud perfectly even. The pins are set up SC
the front pin stands out alone and the pins
follow so that it makes a pyramid, and &
well directed ball hitting the center pin il
the right way will knock them all. Thes,
pins are Of swamp elm and weigh about two
aud one-half pounds each.
The balls used are Of lignum Vita wood
from South America. 1t is the hardest WOOL
known and is without a grain. The ball
weigh from one pound TO twenty, and cos
from s. to 50 each, according to size. TIL
pins when set up, ns described above, ar
called a frame. In ten pins there are tire
frames, and the player is allowed three ball

Hunting Wild Turkeys.

Wild turkeys arc hunted in several ways
but the only true way to hunt them is With
gun and dog. Settlers or pointers make most
excellent hunters when trained young, aud it
is n fact that hunting turkeys with them
does not injure them Tor partridge hunting.
LII plan pursued with us-and suppose il
is tho same with ali who hunt them, Is tc
start out early in the morning for tie
feeding grounds Of the Wild turkeys, ami
when they arc reached to set out tho
dog, AMI when well trained, upon cross.
ing the track of the turkeys he will run it rs
the hound will that of tho fox or deer, until
he finds them: then, without stopping tt
point" as no would d covey of cartridges,
he will burst among the flock like u tornado,
barking furiously, and III a short time lie
will ave them scattered for half q mile t. u
mile around.
Then is the hunters time. Having located
tho direction the flock has taken, he pro
ceeds to make 'blind." After waiting e.
hour or SO for everything to quiet down. TX
gets out his "turkey caller" and proceeds to
initiate the notes of to old hen. Then, if the
flock has never been hunted much, they vii.
begin to answer and gradually approach the
blind, sometimes sln.iy or in twos and thrccs
Then the hunter must be quick and will
steady nerves, as they DO not walt Ior any
foolishness.
They arc generally shot with No. 6 $40,
and | have killed them with NJ. s, always. u
course, shooting at tho head. The flesh is uH
fit for the table if the turkey Is SHOT in tut
body, Us tho blood settles at least an inc.
around the smallest hole made by shot a::,
cannot be removed by cooking. Turi:,.
hunting is very exciting, and one who o"'
gets into u well scattered lock never forge.
! the thrill that passes through every nerve I.
be hears the answering calls of tho war.

Intellect in uairdressipg.

Tho ladies have been trying to let tho
hair fall down on the nape and not to wear it
high on tho head rs formerly. But | think
tho attempt will provo abortivc. Young la
dies with pretty necks like to show them and
rebel at this decree. There is unquestionably
intellect and a thousand other charms dis
played in the high dressing of tho hair
Whenever the upward line of the forehead Is
continued, it is felt that mental dignity is
given. Of all tho weapons Il woman possesses
either for good or evil, their expression lies
In her hair. 1t is tho low head, with loose
wandering tresses which. from the days Of
tho sirens to those of Louis XIV, has most
undcniably revealed the Delilah. Gather them
up and the woman is reformed. On this nc
count the loose, flowing hair is only suitable
for children or very young girls. a woman
with her hair over her shoulders looks untidy
or something worse. Tho high style of
dressing has tho advantage Of bringing out
tho forehead, not protruding it bare and
bold, as when tho hair was drawn tightly
back from it, tho fashion some years ago.

a Stranre Plant.

This splendid Euphorbia is known in Mex.
leo rs Tho flower of tho nativity" 1t is used
rs Il remedy in pulmonary affections. | have
never seen anything like the luXuriance of its
growth around Cucrnavaca, the city where
MaS.Gli!lan had his summer residence. A
great many of the euphorbaceous plants, il
not all, are called palo de lecle, and their
uses arc diverse. Tic Indians of the coast
use ii for fishing, simply throwing the leaves
into the water, when tho fish, stupefied, rise
to tho surface. The principal use among
these people, however, is a far less innocent
one-destroying life instead of contributing
to its support. TIT thick, acrid, milky juice
On sap is extremely poisonous. If thrown
upon Il fire it gives out fumes which produce
an agonizing headache and nausea. Taken
internally, it is a deadly poison, which
causes, according to the way it is prepared
aud administered, death or insanity. 1t is
popularity supposed that tho madness of the
i'll fated Empress Carlotta was caused by
palo de ieche. Mexicans often deny this
statement, but they admit and fear its deadly
power in others respects. Some few years
ago u governor of the state of Vera Cruz-I
forget his name at this momcnt-was given q
dose of this brcbaje, as it is called, in his
coffee, and all tho skill Of his physicians
failed to arrest the course of the poison, from
the results of which lie died in terrible agony.
1t i, believed also that it was given to Gen.
Luis Mier y Teran, tho patriotic governor Of
Olxaca, who suffered n terrible and mys.
terious illness, with subsequent insanity, so
That lie had to be removed from the charge
of government and takIn to Europe.
1t is strongly asseverated that the Indians
can SO prepare the poison rs to regulate the
period Of timo III which it will prove fatal.
Foreign chemists with whom l have talked
scott at this idea, but it does not seem SO
utterly improbable. in view Of tho exactness
with which con be determined the operation
of various germs and microbes. The fact re.
mains that palo de leche is q most powerful
and deadly substance, and many are the
tragedies enacted through its instrumentality
in the TERRA Caliente. The negation Of the
chemists and doctors is also weakened in
force by their vehement dsnunciations of the
practice Of the Indians. whose remedies,
nevertheless, often accomplish results which
all the science of the colleges has failed to at
tain. In dropsy, for instance. IN cases where
tho treatment and repeated operations by
regularly appointed practitioners had proved
totally inefticaclous, the simple herbal RENE
dies of ignorant, barefooted, half naked In
dams lave in three days almost entirely re
duced the distens.on and in a short periot
produced a radical cure, as may be attestet
by the patients, today alive, strong, well ant

Items About Women.

Tho Princess Maud of Wales spends most

Mrs. Reagan, being her husbands private

stance enjoyed by no other

hcr beauty is leading the gossipers to compare
her to Ninon dc rI1nclos, who at co cnslavcd
tho grandsons of tho men who loved her in
her youth.
Ono of the noblcst charities ever established
is due solely to tho work and enterprise of tho
Duchess dc Galliera. By means of her inlu-
cnco and inlcfatisable labor this lady has
founded an institution for paying tho rent CT
respectable wcrl;iug people in m%omcntary
distress. Several hundred families in Naples
hnvo thus been kept housed for weeks at u
time.
Woman's sphere seems to be constantly Gil
iarging. At Mauistcc, Mich, tho hoop fac.
tory employs wome to feed the plancrs and
do other light work of that nature, and fsds
that they do the work we'll, and at tho dairy
salt factories all the s~ac!iili, and such work is
done by girls who work by the piece, earn
about 81 to Sl.2a5 q day, and seem to like the
employment.
Another field of usefulness for medical wo-
men has been indicated by tho English post
master general in his appointment of Miss
Shore and Miss Craddoci as medical officers

Tho Wav Women proposc.

Replying to tho question, "Shoud ono
propose marriagcs' DR.. 'Talmage answered.:
"Why you are centuries too lato in asking
that question. Women always have pro-
posed and always will propose. Words arc
very weak things compared to woman's atfa-
bility and lovclincss. The most splendid
thing Oh earth isl good woman, and when,
with all her attractivcness, she makes up her
mind that it would be well for her to be
tho wife of some good man, and that it would
bo equally well for him, sho captures him as
easily rs Il regiment captures one corporal.

tongue proposes or not, her eyes propose, her
smile proposes. Until Il man gets from a
woman q proposition of that style Lo had

Trimming of Children.

1t Gems almost q satire tospcak Of tho gov
crnmcnt of children, there is SO little of it.
No one can moro deeply sylnpathizc with the
trials Of Il mother than docs the writer. She
understands every tired look, every impa-
ticnt gesture, every discouraged expression,
but elias! she realizes also tho terrible failure
cadc by SO many mothers to manage their
children i'll n wiso and judicious manner.
What q majority of children need is to be
saved from their mothers. Especially is this
true of young mothers. 1t makes ono heart
sick to see u girl scarcely arrived at maturity
intrusted with tho moral, mental and
physical training of that most wonderful
creation, Il child. Tho possibilities of good
and evil that lilo embodied within That tiny
form should mako tho responsibility of n
parent the most sacred on earth. But lest this
sense Of responsibility may not be sufficiently
great, there comes into tho hearts of parents
when q child is born, the purcst and strongest
ard most enduring love possible to humanity.
BUT there is no ono virtue that Is ablo to meet
the requirements of life unless it is rc-cnforced
by others, and unless this parent love be &c
coEpanicd by wisdom and tirmncss and good
sense, tho child, in many instances, might he
moro properly brought up by strangers.-1da

Nonplused by u Woman.

During the auction sale at Squire Abbott's
OF Clinton street, a well dressed man en-
tered the store and after watching the bidders
awhile began to edge along the wall to a win
dow that contained some expensive silk muf
aers. He cautiously raised the sash and with
his hands behind him began to pull from the
window two fine mutf1ers. Mrs. Abbott
all this time was watching the strange
movements of the man, and saw him
take the mutllers and put them in his
pocket. Without q word to any one, Mrs.
Abbott came from behind tho counter, where
she was doing duty, and edged around to
where the man with the stolen mufflers was
standing. When she got near enough to him,
Mrs. Abbott deity put her hand in the mans
pocket and drew forth the muf1ers. The lady
friend, seeing the act, began laughing, and
tho stranger looked around and prepared to
move off. Before going he once more put his
hand In bis pocket, but this time to disco, er
that tho mutlers were gone-most mysteri.
ously gone.
The man was surprised. He looked it. He
also became embarrassed, as the ladies stared
ut him and laughed. He walsed outside anu
stood for a moment on the porch. Suddenly
