The daily runs of the steamer follow and the distance still to go and the probabilities of doing it within a certain time are discussed in short paragraphs The second column of the first page generally contains some par agraphs headed General lnfOrma- tion, and here the passengers find many useful little hints as to cures for sickness, the necessity of exercis- ing by taking regular walks around the decks, and advice as to handling of valuable information for people making their first trip.

ocean Newspapers.

Years ago, before the great ocean liners made trip from this country to Europe a matter of only few days. and the one way to get to Europe was by clipper ship, and the voyage occu- pied from four Go six weeks, it was the custom to publish weekly newspaper on board the larger ships for the edi- fication of the passengers. The cap tain and officers would store up news items before leaving port, and these enlarged and greatly cmbelishcd, would he made the leading feature of the weekly issue. Information from the captains cabin as 10 the weather prospects, and other interesting scraps of news of the ship, together with whatever contributions the passen- gers cared to make, would help MI up the paper aud make it an exceedingly attractive sheet for people a thousand miles from land. The mld-occan news paper was always a curious looking af-
 
 fair. and copies of all the issues were eagerly sought by collectors whenever q ship touched port. But since the ocean greyhouuds have made the trip so short the ocean newspaper has dis appeared. A year or so ago, however, the American line began the publca- .ion of newspapers on board of the big steamers New York and City of Paris.
 One paper is published each trip, and is usually run off the press when the steamer is four days out and roll ing in the roaring fortieS.

 The players are aligned in rows, ar- ranged the long way of the hall, the men about four feet apart and the rows about six feet At one end is the gym table, such as instructors gen eraly stand on when directing class. On each side of the table is rough trough, and in each trough are placed nine small "medicine balls,' the kind measuring about ten inches in diane ter and weighing pound.
 The game is to pass the balls along the rows from hand to hand, the cir cult sometimes going up and down the hall several times when there are many players, The sides start tOgeth- CT and the side passing all the balls around first and replacing them on the table wins.

Something About rrumes.
