society squash.

\ new game for society has suddenly
,..ade its appearance, and a. society
is notoriou>iy tirkle in its attachments
it j. altogether likely that gof and
tennis will be speedily abandoned in
favor Of the newcomer. which ha. the
democratic and hopeleSsly vulgar
nam of squash Squash Is the
familiar English game of ''tives. Il
species of handbalL, only the bal! Is
knocked against the wall by Il tennis
racket instead of the hand. In order
to play squash it is essential to have
a building specially erected. and the
building must cost $1,000. The side of
any old brick wall would answer all
purposes. but for the sake of the cos
tunes there must be Il long hall with
solid lioor. ceiling and walls, and Il
gallery. the latter being devoted to
the spectators. That squash will be
the fad for the rest of the summer is
certain. for Mrs. W. X. Vanderbilt,
Jr., is building squash court at New
port. and what Mrs. w. X. V, .r.,
does goes. For the rest of the season,
therefore. society will have summer

the first place: what experience tells
YOU is best. to be chosen in the second

But if yOu can get DR.. inclination,
DR.. Experience and DR.. Reason TO
hold Il consultation together. they will
give you the best advice that can be
taken.
When you have Il bad cold Dr.. In

pleasant and safe to take. DR.. Ex-
perience would recommend it because
it never fails to effect Il speedy and

Cut and Run.

"Cut and run" originated in a pc
culiar custom of the Egyptian embalm-
ers. A low caste was employed to make
the first incision in the corpse, a process
;ewed with much dislike by the peo-
pie, who held him accursed who should
mutilate the dead As soon as the fell
low had made his "cut he had to run
through a storm of curses, stones and
sticks He "cut" for living and had
to 'run" to save his life.
The true origin of the expression "to
dun a man is curious. In the reign Of
Henry VII bailiff of Lincoln named
Joe Dun was so active and clever in
collecting debts that it became prov
erb when a person tired to avoid pay

A PLEASANTgREMINISCENCE.
Rev. W. M. Warner Writes of the Improve
ment in the "TimeS" and Incidents
of the Past.

A letter was received last week in
reference to the change in the TINES
from Rev. VIM. NJ. Warner, who is
spending his last days at Millington,
Md. He was, he says, the junior
preacher ON Smyrna Circuit in 1852,
with the sweet spirited Rev. Geo. w.
Lybrand. and familiar with the people
of that date OF the TIMES he says:
81 have always admired the manner i'll
which the TINES has been conducted,
always regarding it as fit for family
reading and entirely free from
everything the most careful parent
might object to-" After referring
briefly to the cordial welcome the "boy
preacher" had at the home of Joseph
Hoffecker and the patience and charity
that was shown him by all on his first
circuit, made a green spot in his his
tory on which he delighted to stop and
think about, though A. years had
since passed. He says in the letter:
"When at Blackbird in 1SS9-9O,
came into possession of some scraps of
paper of age-the enclosed piece among
them. When at Blackbird, we held
the Centenary Celebration of Union
Church, with research and care,
wrote up its history and read it. l
have been very sorry that 1 did not
place it at your disposal to let appear in
the TINES, such parts as you might
think proper. OF course it is too late
now."
The following is the scrap of history
referred to:

drive over the dam at Lake Como,
abOut the young men who own the
sailboat there. Then it goes own to
say: ''There should be no cause for
complaint as the owners of the boat
have been repeatedly warned against
sailing so close to the public road, but
seemingly they have paid little atten-
tion to John B. Webb and others who
have spoken to them about their
thoughtessness." The latter part of
this statement is entirely false. We
were warned but once, and not re-
peatedly. No one but Mr.. Webb has
ever warned us about frighting horses,
and when be warned us we lowered
sail, and rowed up the pond.
We do not mean to say that we were
not frightening any horses, but we do
mean to say that when we were warned
about it, we needed the warming. We
do not want to frighten any ones
horse, so we shall stay away from the
road, as we have always done since we
were warned to do so.
