TREATMENT FOR RHEUMATISM
An Ant Bath Is a Remedy Employed
bY the Russians

The Russian peasants, and more espe-
cially those residing in the neighborhood
of Moscow, have a peculiar and original
method of treating themselves for that
bane of mankind, rheumatism. Many
cures, even in very bad cases, are, 1t is
claimed, effected by making the patient
take ant baths.
The manner of preparing these baths
is as follows: An anthil is sought, and
when found, a sack Is filled with ants,
ants eggs and, II 1t be considered neces-
sary. a certain quantity of the earth
which composes the hill. The sack is
then closed Theoretically and carried to
the home of the sufferer. warm bath
is already prepared here and the sack
is plunged bodily into the hot water.
Soon this latter begins to give Off
peculiar pungent odor, characteristic of
formic acid. The bath is now ready for
the patients immersion. The action OF
the bath on the skin is one of intense irri-
tation, and the result seems to be
drawing out of the evil and the conse-
quent disappearance Of the rheumatic
pains.
1t is advisable for any one who may
be tempted to try this remedy to be
careful not to remain too long in the ant
bath, as the consequences might be a
total disorganization of the skin, which
would peel off. due to the violent action
of the eacid.--Washington Star.

HANDBALL

The announcement that there is to be
a handball tournament between the
| athletes of the Y. NJ. c. A. and the Los
Angeles Athletic club has aroused great
interest here in that branch of the sports
and more young men and old are learn
ing the ins and outs of the game than
ever before. To those who are learning
the advice of a veteran who has made an
international reputation by his skill in
the courts of various countries will be of
interest. Phil Casey, the all-round
sporting man and retired champion
ha ndball player of the world, writes as
follows about the game:
l am getting to be an old man now,
and yet / feel young. l move around as
quickly as l used to; my eyes are as
good, and while l can't play as l did
twenty years ago l can still make the
young fellows do their best.
Handball did it. I've been playing it
almost all my life and it has made me
strong enough to go down the ladder
with steady steps.
. My advice to everybody is, play hand
ball. 1t will do you good Strip, go into
the court with a friend play your best
and in half an hour your dyspepsia, your
tired feeling and those other troubles
you young fellows have will be forgot
ten in an honest aching for bath and 4
rest.
Handball isn't popular here because
they don't know how to play it. The be-
ginner smashes at the ball as if he was
swinging at Peter Maher. He spreads out
his palm opens his fingers, and although
he makes a brave effort the ball doesn't
| travel as he wants it to and it hurts his
hand. 1t puffs up, may be a bone Is
broken-for a handball isn't made of
! feathers-and he doesn't play any more.
| The proper way to strike a ball is TO
cup the hand. Keep the fingers close
| together, with the thumb out of the way
on the side of the index finger Then
catch the ball as it comes to you on the
pads of flesh in the palm of your hand.
Curl up the fingers so they can be used
to add to the speed of the ball as it rolls
over the tips.
Sometimes you can get to the bail
quickly enough to get into the proper po-
sition But when you can take it on the
right side stick your elbow into your hip

GENERAL SPORTS

Francisco is rapidly coming into promi-
nence as one Of the best trap shots in
the country. His ability has long been
known on the Pacific coast. but recently
some of his fine work in the east has at
tracted to him the attention of the lead
ers in that kind Of sport. At Indianapo-
lis. Kansas City. Des Moines. st. Louis
and Chicago he has done some remark

est achievement was at Hamilton, On

Then Owen Lawson, secretary-treasurer

COURSING

The weather was all that could be de-
sired the infeld free from dust, the at
tendance large and the coursing excel
lent yesterday and as a consequence the
public, as well as the officers of the Ag-
ricultural Park club, had cause for con-
graduation. Coursing is becoming more
and more popular in this section as the
taste for some other amusements wane
and as long as it is catered to as intelli-
gently as is done by this club greyhound
races will be a popular sport.
Several of the dogs on the program did
not appear, for different reasons. among
them being Beauty and Coralie, who are
first favorites: and some new dogs were
substituted as byes, which as a rule made
very good showings. DR.. Van Hum
mell's hounds are attracting a good dea
of attention from sporting men, and are
hard to beat.
An extra feature of the day was the
match race between White Chief anC
Klondike, best two in three heats. The
former dog is usually classed as 6
winner and did not disappoint his friend:

A man may enter Rowton house,
which was established by Lord Rowton,
ON Tuesday morning and stay there until
Friday evening-two days and one night
for a sixpence. He may go to bed at
o'clock or at any other hour in the
evening that pleases him. but he must be
out of his cubicle and downstairs by 8
o'clock in the morning. There are ten
hath rooms, and fine bath rooms they
are. A bath, hot or cold. with towel and
soap, costs a penny. A foot bath, hot or
cold, with towel and soap, costs nothing.
1t Is difficult to improve on the houses
prices. Tea or coffee costs a half-penny
for small and a penny for large cup.
A slice of bread costs a half-penny.
Eggs cost penny each. Bloaters the
same, kippers the same. Pudding costs
a penny, hot joints fourpence, cold joints
threepence, and bacon twopence. The
price of a shave is half-penny. There
is room for backing boots; there is a

FitZ may yet relent. AS it is, Corbett
hopes only for fight with Fitzsim-
mons. Fitz won't fight him unless he
first defeats Peter Maher. Maher is out
and out serious in his willingness to
fight any one-Corbett, Fitzsimmons,
Sharkey, ct al.-but no one seems in
clined to tread on the tail of his coat.
His match with Peter Jackson, which
was to have taken place in San Fran
cisco, will probably fall through, as the
authorities of that city have refused to
license any more boxing exhibitions.
Sharkey says he is willing to fight any
body, but he isn't bothering Peter Ma
her very much. Joe Choynski also an
nounces that he is open to fight any man
in the world. but he is not seriously con-
sdered by the public, which regards him
only as the best of the second-raters.
Meanwhile the new aspirants for
heavy weight honors-Gus Rubin, JEFF
fries, the California giant and Yank
tKenny-are striving to get to the top.
Kenny will have a chance to show what
he can do against Steve O'Donnell before
the Arena club of Philadelphia next
week. His performance on this occasion
ought to give a line on his capabilities.

AS soon as a new pugilistc champion
establishes himself in the good graces
of the public. all sorts of stories are
started about him, some of them true
and others fabricated. Some fellow has
some to the front with affidavits to the
effect that Mccoy once worked behind a
necktie counter in a Louisville dry

got tired of the job Another man swears
that the Kid, while he was assisting
IFitzsmmons to train for the latter
fight with Creedon, engaged in a friendly
bout with Bob one day. and when the
ICornishman wasn't on the alert, Mccoy
knocked him out with a punch on the
Jaw. Another crank says that Mccoy
lis wonderful pianist, which is prob
ably based upon the fact that he played
some memorable tunes on Dan Creedon' S
face at Long Island City.
The sporting element of San Francisco
will witness, probably within the next
two months, a series of contests between
three pairs Of heavy weight boxers,
(which may determine who is really the
coming champion.

The Spaniards have the right idea.
They play handball with "chistera,

don't like, or can't stand, the smash of

they know how the basket or fake hand,
