THE ROPED ARENA.
ART OF RENTING.
Science In Itself, and Three Boxers Out
of Five Know Nothing Of It

A Science in Itself, and Three Boxers Out
of Five Know Nothing of 1t.
Pugilists have known for years that
defense and feinting forever travel
hand in hand. Feintlng Is defensive
work finally figured down to a quick
hess of the eye and muscles. To feint
well a man must be able to make it
appear beyond Coubt that he is about
20 lead. To do this the muscles must
De under perfect control, so that either
aand may take advantage of the least
opening the feint may make.
1t is a science in itself, something
Utterly neglected by three boxers out of
very five, but quite as important as
my part of the game.
or the boxers of today there are only
few who are worth mention when
me subject turns on feinting, and of
them all Corbett Is pre-eminently the
most perfect. He is by all odds the
most wonderful man in this regard the
world has ever seen.
To him feinting is at least two-thirds
IF the game. He finds new possibili-
lies and developes strange results from
simply fooling his man.
Corbett was the first whose feet were
made to assist In feinting. He found
hat moving in and out before a man
confused nm as to what was about 70
aappen.
A quick rush might result in the
| mans attempt to block something
which would leave an opening as big
rs a house. A sudden side step often
caused man to lead in way which
gave perfect opportunity for coun-
ter.
Thus it was that Corbett introduced
mis- feet to his hands as worthy assist
ants in feinting.
Others have followed his lead and
nave learned much, but few of them
are even good imitators, and none has
reached his standard OF efficiency.
Corbett will feint in his loose arm
way while his man Is pulled up in an
anxious bunch, with every faculty on
edge, to anticipate the attack. The
strain does no good and tires one out.
Feinting consists only In movements
IF the hands, feet and body, but in
cludes every trick and move which ~
made with an idea of deception. A
shift of the eyes, n careless attitude, or

THE WOMAN OF TACT.
Tho Numerous Ways in Which She Make
Herself Loved.

Tho Numerous Ways in Which She Make
Herself Loved.
She had been talking pleasantly to
two or three women. She had made
her good-byes all cheerful and bright
and, after she had disappeared, one
woman turned to another and said In
a tone that was scoffing: "She Is
thorough woman of tact" Now. IN
this case. the woman who had said
none but pleasant words, who, by
bright story, had prevented the discus.
sion Of petty scandal, was a woman
who was as brave-hearted as any thai
ever lived, and who bore, not only hel
own. but the burdens Of a good many
other people, yet she saw no reason
why she should infiict her troubles on
her friends. or why she should not be
in its best sense a woman Of tact.
woman of tact is one who feel:
that the story told to hurt your feel
ings Is essentially bad form, and in.
considerate of the feelings of others.
woman of tact is the one who IL
courteous to old people, who laugh:
WIN lHc yOuus, anu WHO uldheS ucT-
self agreeable to all women in all con.
ditions Of life.
woman of tact is one who makes
her good-morning pleasant greeting
her visit bright spot in the day, and
her goodbye hope that she may come
again.
A woman Of tact is one who does
not gauge people by their clothes, or
their riches, but who condemns bad
manners.
A woman of tact is one who is cour-
teous under all circumstances and in
every condition in which she may be
placed. She is the woman who can re-
ceive the unwelcome guest with smile
SO bright and a handshake SO cordial,
that in trying to make the welcome
seem real it becomes so. A woman of
tact Is one whose love for humanity is
second only in her life's devotion, and
whose watchword is unselfishness in
thought and action. BY making self
last 1t finally becomes natural to have
it so.

Tea by Courtesy.

Every one is aware that much of the
tea we drink is tea in name only, SO
much is it adulterated. But there are
many beverages called teas which are
not fraudulent manufactures, though
they are called by the name of the
delicious Chinese leaves. In Mauritius,
for example, they make tea of the
leaves Of an orchid.
In Peru, they drink mate, a tea made
from native species OF holly.
The Abyssinians make tea from the
leaves of the catha edulis, which has
such stimulating qualities that to chew
a single leaf will produce all the effects
of strong cup of coffee. 1t is most
valuable to travellers.
The Tasmanians are said to be the
lucky owners of no fewer than 100
kinds Of leaves from which tea can be
made, while the Tonkinese have tea
from berries. leaves. woods and barks
Of trees.
In Sumatra coffee leaves are put in
the teapot and the result is said to be
excellent.

Was Kelly Right?

Discussion is rife among sporting
men as to the tenability OF Honest
John Kelly's decision in declaring all
oets off on the fight between Corbett
and Sharkey. Generally Kelly's de-
,ision Is commended. AL Smith de-
.lares that Kelly was wrong, as a ref
cree has no right to touch on bets at
all. A special dispatch from London
quotes Martin Corbett, an authority on
boxing, as saying that the ruling re-
garding the betting was wrong. Bets
should follow the stake. 1t Is the gen-
Aral opinion of New York sports that
he odium of the whole affair will not
blow away for many day.
