Siamese Football.

The Siamese youth have only one
game worth considering, and that one is
indigenous-or native to Burma-the
question of parentage being a much
mooted one. At all events the game re-
quires certain amount of activity and
is very interesting to the onIooker. It
is kind Of football-in fact, I have
heard it called Burmese efootball-played
with Il ball about four inches in di-
ameter. made Of braided rotan. entirely
hollow. very strong and resilient. The
number Of contestants is not arbitrarily
fixed. but play is sharpest when there
are enough to form circle about ten
feet in diameter. The larger the circle
after it has passed the desirable diam
eter the slower the play.
The game is to keep the ball tossing
into the air without breaking the circle.
AS man fails at his opportunity he
drops ont, and when there remain but
four or six the work is sharp and very
pretty. The ball is struck most gener-
ally with the knee, but also with the
foot. from in front, behind and at the
side. Some become remarkably clever
I have seen a player permit the ball to
drop directly behind his back, and yet
without turning return it clear over
his head and straight into the middle

These Men Were Not Modest.

A modern scientist assures us that
men Of real genius are always proud.
and he gives the following examples az
proofs Of the truth Of this statement.
When Mirabeau was dying. he said to
his aervant. "Prop up my head care
fully, for it Is the most remarkable head
in ali France
Michael Angelo wrote. in 1912: "All
the differences between me and Pope
Julius arose from the fact that Raphael
and Bramante were jealous Of me and
tried to overthrow me. Yet everything
that Raphael knows about art he learn.
ed from me-"
Rossini addressed some Of his letters
to his mother as follows: 'To Mrs. Ros.
SIM, the mother Of the distinguished
master.
Finally, Schopenhauer, when he was
asked where he would like to be buried,
replied. 1.-THE place does not matter, as
posterity will know well enough where
to find me-"
These are certainly striking examples
in some respects. but it would not be
difficult to find others quite as striking
of real men Of genius who were noted
for their modesty.

Tho Points OF a Cat.

A good cat-the kind you want to
have in the house. if any-will have a
round. stubby, pug nose, full, fat cheeks
and upper lip. well developed hump
on top OF the head between the ears,
betokening good nature A sleepy cat
that purs good deal is apt to be play
full and good natured.
By all means to be avoided is cat
with thin. sharp nose and twitching
ears. It must be remembered also that
a good mouser is not necessarily gen.
tie or desirable pet. Although any good
cat will catch mice If she is not over
fed, quick, full. expressive eyes gener-
ally betoken mousing cat.
The greatest mistake probably the
most common one-in the care Of do
mestic cats is overfeeding. particularly
too much meat. In the wild life cat
has exercise which enables her to digest
food. In the lazy house life the same
full feeding leads to stomach troubles
and to s'fits. ''-Woman's Life.
