CURLING IN AMERICA.
! Scotch Game Zealously Cultivated by
ScOtchmen.

/ ! Scotch Game Zeslously Cultivated by
Scotchmen.
The game of curling has secured a
firm place among the winter sports in
all parts of the country where there is
| heavy ice and where there are Scotch
men 70 teach the game to their Ameri-
can nei-hbors. There are about 80 curl
ing tlabs n the United States, and the
Grand l,Ltional Curling club of Amer
lea has membership of many hundreds
in all parts Of the north and northwest,
but still the game is spoken of as "Scot-
lands ain game.
The game is always played on ice
covered lakes or rivers. except in Eng.
land, where it is frequently played un-
der glass roofs by men whose white
waistcoats, straw hats, floral decora-
tions and general lack of Scotc style
cause the zeal curriers' to regard them
with scorn.
The curriers' who are members of the
New York clubs have their contests on
Van Cortlandt lake, and there is proba-
bly, no class of sportsmen who go about
a game so seriously as they.
The object of the game is to plant tho
curling stone, which has teakettle
shape and weighs from 32 to Al pounds,
near the "tee, " or center of circle at "a
distance of 40 yards, and to guard it
there.
Next to the stone the broom plays the
most important part in the game OF
in tho hpndG Of
sweeper who is anxious to see the stone
advance to the circle where it will
count it is welded dexterously, so that
every particle of snow or ice may be
removed from the stones course The
"skips," or captains, Of the opposing
sides have charge Of the sweeping de-
partments, and the sweepers have the
right to use their brooms after the stone
has got beyond the line which marks
the middle Of the rink. The sweeping
is always to side or across the rink
and not forward or backward, where
the sweepings might obstruct the pas
sage of a running stone.
Match games, called bonspiel, are
played by opposing teams of four each,
and when it is at home curling is essen
TALLY democratic. 1t has been said that
the lord of the manor, the clergyman
and the village blacksmith may be seen
OH the same rink with the smith as
"skip" shouting to the clergyman to
"soop, soopl" when he thinks "soop,
or sweep, in front of the moving stone
will help it along.
The enthusiastic curler sees and hears
nothing but the speeding stones and the
applause, the shouts of "Weel curled,
monr' and the boyish shouts which rise
OH the wintry air show that q youthful
spirit may live in mature body, par.
ticularlyif il be that of Scotch curler

BROWNlNG'S ROMANCE.
The Beautiful Love Story of His Court
ship and Married Life.

Clifford Howard writes of Robert
Browning's romance as 1.-THE Most Beau
tiful Love Story In Literature" in The
Ladies' Home Journal for June. "Not
once in all the years of their married life
was Browning absent from his wife sim
gle day." writes Mr.. Howard. cat home
or on their occasional journeys he was ever
with her, ready to protect her and to wait
upon her. Often i'll and unable to leave
her room, he nursed her with the tender
ness of n woman, cheering her In her con-
valescence with stories and songs or read
ing to her for hours at time, as he oft
had done in the days before their mar
riage. 1t was in his touching thoughtful
ness, in his little acts of loving and unso-
licited attention, that his love for her was
most truly shown.
"Ofttimes would he rise early in the
morning, long ere the time for her awak-
ening, and, fastening forth into the gar
den or the fields, gather a bunch of fra
grant blossoms to place at her bedside that
they might be the first realities of life to
greet her with their sunshine and with
their tender message of love upon her re-
turn from the world of dreams. His ev-
cry thought, his every care, was of her, to
add to the joy or the comfort of her life,
and many were the means devised by his
thoughtful solicitude for the accomplish
ment of his loving purpose. To shield
her delicate eyes from the light he had
placed in the window of her room small
shutter of mica, so arranged that the sun
light might fall upon her table In subdued
and gentle radiance"

The Chinese Painter.

A story, which if not true is not
badly told, runs TO the effect that while
the bark Cape City was at Hongkong q
Chinaman was engaged TO paint the
necessary name on each bow. He pro.
duced OH one bow the legend "Cape.
city," without space between the two
words. Then he noted that the "Y"
was nearest to the ships stern, and, re-
membering this fact, he afforded an ex-
cellent example of how severely logical
his race can be, for in little while he
had painted on the other bow the strik-
ing Formulation Yticepac, " to his own
delight and the crews amazement.-
