:as it is in America, says the Saturday
Review, it seems admirably adapted for
paving off old grudges, and proving
cenclusiyely that good-humored pluck

Moreover, the pernicious practices are
not exercised secretly Except with re-
gard to the umpire), but are tacitly rec
ognized as part and parcel OF the
game. True, if a man is caught fight
ing he may be ruled out of the match.
1t is made logical outcome of this law
that six or eight reserve men are al
ways ready equipped to take the places
of any detected bruisers.
The thinking man can and does
easily improve the occasion. If he feels
exhausted as the short winter afternoon
is drawing in, he can watch until he
catches the umpire's eye, slug a
dininutive opponent, and have his
place occupied by one seven times more
wicked than himself Or, being but a
player of medium ability, he can yet
provoke to merry bout Of fisticuffs
one whose ability in the game is great

tirement of both, sacrificing his own
pawn self for the opponent knight. The
American asserts that his game is more
scientific, which, from certain point
of view, is self-evident.

Just now, they have ceased to wear red
velvet gloves with gauntlets Of white
satin worked in silks and gold thread
and spangles, or even of perfumed
leather enriched with seed-pearls and
gold thread, as in the days of Henry
VIII. and his daughter. The time Of
samplers is gone by, but some of the
old stitches have come into fashion
again. We find Russian cross-stitch, "
chain-stitch, tent-stitch and various
forms of applique on German, English
and Italian work OF the thirteenth and
fourteenth centuries.

and, as with us, the first recognized actors
were called the kings servants. Up to
1899 the state theater had all its own way,
but that year, in spite Of protests to the
king, q Comedie Italienne was started and
