The tennis of yesterday was up to its
previous high grade. If anything, 1t
was little better, and the statement
might be safely made that it was the
best yet seen. Fine as it was, however,
that of the next three days may be ex-
pected to be better, and spectators to-
day, tomorrow and Saturday will prob
ably see the finest exhibitions of the
game which the West has yet known.
All this is borne out by the strong. clean
play and good torn In which the expert
wielders of the racquet have SO far
shown themselves.
The best matches OF the day were
doubles by Chase and Elting versus
Wrenn Bros, and long, closely con-

All birds of prey have a popularity
Of eye structure that enables them TO
see near or distant objects equally well.
An eagle will ascend more than a mile
In perpendicular height, aud from that
elevation can perceive its unsuspecting
prey and pounce upon II with unerring
certainty. Yet the same bird can scru-
tinizo with almost microscopic nicely
an object close OF hand, thus possess
ing a power of accommodating It's
sight to distance In a mannerto which
the human eye Is untitled, and OF
which It is totally incapable.
In looking at printed page we find
that there Is some particular distance,
probably ten inches, at which we can
read The words and soc each letter with
perfect dislinctness, but If the page be
moved to distance Of forty inches or
brought within distance of five inch
es we fnd ii impossible to read il at
all. A scientific man would therefore
call ten inches the focus or focal dis
tance of our eyes. This focus cannot
be altered except by the aid OF specIa-
cIes.
But an eagle has The power of alior-
ng the focus Of It's eye just rs IL pleas
es. 1t has only TO look at al object
AT the distance Of two feet or of Two
miles In order to see ii with perfect
dislinctness.
OF course tho eagle knows nothing
of the wonderful contriVanco that the
Creator has supplied for IFS accommo.
datlou. IL employs It iustinctiycly and
because it cannot help II. The ball ol
the eye Is surrounded by fifteen little
plates called sclerotic bones. They
form a complete ring, aud their edges
slightly overlap each other When II
looks at distant object, this little cir
Gle of bones expands, and the ball ol
the eve, being relieved from the pres
sure. becomes fatter. When u looks
at a very near object, the little bones
press together, and the ball OF the eye
Is thus squeezed into a ronnder OF
more convex form.
The effect Is very familiar TO every
one. A person with very round oyc'

There Is no place in the United
States, so far as | know, where the
cow is more versatile and ambidex-
trous, (if I may be allowed the use of
a term that is far above my station
in life), than here in the mountains
of North Carolina, where the obese
possum and the anonymous distiller
have their homes.
Not only is the Tar-heel COW the
author of pale but athletic style OF
butter, but in her leisure hours she
aids in tilling the perpendicular farm
on the hillside, or draws the product
to market.
Her girlhood is short, and almost

The increase OF English speakers is
calculated to be fully 2,000,000 an.
nualIy. No other language of mod
ern times has made such rapid pro-
gress. Three hundred years ago the
5000, 900 people who spoke English
resided principally on the British
Isles. Now it is spoken more or less
in nearly every country on earth.
The principal European languages
which compete with English are
French, Spanish, Russian and Ger
man. French is practically station
airy; Spanish is largely spoken In
South America and southern North
America; where German is intro
duced il rapidly gives way to the ma
tive tongue. generally English; Rus
sian, like the German, has little in
fluence upon the western civilization.
IL is remarkable that while the Eng
lish colonies and offshoots have abb
sorbed millions of aliens, no great
body of English speakers has become
absorbed by any other race. In the
United States, millions of foreigners
have become merged with the English
speakers in a single generation, losing
even their family names and the
children in many cases do not under
stand their parents language. In
Canada, however, the French-speak-
ing population is increasing faster
than the English speaking. This is
not because the French element alb
serbs the English, but because il
crowds it out. While the French ID
seldom absorbed by any other Ian
guage, it is almost always absorbed
by the English.
The English has practically driven
The French out Of Egypt, and 1t is
rapidly driving the Dutch out Of AT

Egypt within dozen years. The
change in South Africa is effected
with even greater rapidity. AS the
English speakers rush in, Dutch and
