Nhn. n. 0ood Form ia Lawn TepuIs ,

Form Is the style in which the player
moves, carries himself, and makes the
strokes. Good form, / should explain,
Is not grace; 1t Is making the stroke in
such a way as to produce the greatest
effect with least friction. In making
the stroke both feet seldom remain on
the ground, and any violent effort will
destroy the balance Of the body, ndthus
make the stroke more uncertain, and the
recovery slower and more difficult. This
preservation ofthe balance, to me, seems
the most important advantage OF good
form. You can often make a single
stroke well enough in bad form, but
you place yourself at such a disadvant-
age In the recovery that you must in-
lure your chances for the next stroke.
II seems clear, then, that good form is
worth having; that It can do no harm,
and may do much good but how Is II to
be acquired? BY watching the best
players, II possible, and studying out the
position of'the feet and body In making
the different strokes. Also by the direct
teaching Of some player who has a good
style himself, or at least knows thor
oughly what 1t consists In.
"Blt," 1t has often been said TO me,
i've live where there are no good play
ers; we see no good plays we, have to
trust to books for instruction, and
books cannot show how d player looks
when BIO makes a stroke" All this is
true, and / could think of no answer TO
1t until the idea occurred to me that a
number Of instantaneous photographs
Of the best players might be taken, so
that the exact position OF the feet and
hands might DO decided. A strong rea-
son for photographing the stroke Is to
be sure that you know how II Is made.
/ remember we'll that | used always to
preach that in the overland service the
racketshould 90 very little back Of the
head. Two photographs taken at differ
emit times show the head Of the racket
almost touching the small Of the back

1881 in this Village. Eis life, according to
Appleton's Encyclopedias Of American Biog-
rAphy, served as the foundation for Mrs.
Harriet Beecher Stoves novel, Uncle Tome
Cabin, which created such a sensation
throughout the whole country when written.
His arms were crippled like those Of Uncle
Tom in the novel and was the result Of a blow
inflicted by an overseer His master IN this

as captain Of colored company, he performed
many deeds of daring and valor for which he
received the thanks Of the Government. After
the cessation Of hostilities he took up a trac.

age Of IS years he began to learn 20 read and
write and became the pastor ofa church. In
1850 he met Mrs. Stowe in Boston and iescrib.

On the occasion Of his last trip to London in
1876 he was invited by Queen Victoria to visit

The River Channel should be Omen

ed.-Mr. B. II. MattinglY, one of the most
onterprisng and thrifty farmers in the fourth
district, owing to the great difficulties under
which he labors for transportation for
farm products, is seriously contemplating
renting out his farm on which he resides
near Newport and moving to his truck farm
near Washington. Other farmers in Mr..
Mattngly's immediate vicinity are also much
discouraged, from the same cause, and seri.
ously contemplate removing from that portion
of the County. A few thousand dollars spent
in the Wicomico river would remedy the evil
and would greatly enhance the value of lands
in that section. An appropriation for this
important work will be urged BY Congress-
man Mudd as soon as he is awarded his seat
in the Fifty-frst Congress.

Bad Outlook. The continued rAnfalls
have filed all classes Of our people with appre-
hension. Those farmers who were so unfor-
tunate as to get their wheat caught in the
field report that it is greatly injured by
sprouting Corn where it has been worked
looks well, hut the tobacco as a rule rs in a
bad condition on account of the grass which
continues to grow, and cannot be removed
because the ground is too wet for cultivation.
The prospect for farmers Is far from bright,
and we fear that much suffering will result in
the future on account of the shortness Of the
crops.
