up. The apples are large, sound and

Peculiar Case.

A peculiar final proof was made at
Edgeley. recently. Several years ago
James H. Culley, a highly respected
young farmer who was holding down
a homestead in township 1875, range
Ga, mysteriously disappeared and no
trace of him has been found from
that day to this. His father and
friends have made every effort to find
him. The supposition is that the
young man was killed accidentally
or waylaid, robbed and murdered and
his remains secreted. The young
mans father, Joseph Culley, has kept
up, the improvements on the land and
made final proof on the claim. What
became of the young man will doubt
less always remain mystery.

der penalty of fine. The rules which had to be observed in all these sports tended, no doubt, to promote self-con- trol and stimulate the sense of honor among all classes. Tennis courts spread all over the country and were used as theatres by itinerant companies The number of them struck every foreigner who visited France. It is stated, in 1896, by an Italian who accompanied the Pope's legate, that there were in Paris alone no fewer than 250 tennis courts, and Venetian ambassador speaks of 1,S00. Sir Robert Dallngton, in his View of France" which he visited in 1b9S, says that there were more tennis courts than racket their hands. Even women and children were proficient in the game; poor artificers played and squandered their weeks earnings Tn fact, ''of this sort of poor people" Dal- lington assures us, "there be more ten his players in France than ale drinkers or maltwormers Gas they call them) with s."-Longman's Magazine.

SUMMER FROLIC.
Get Ready Now,

Give the brain and body food during the summer that does not overtax the stomach and heat the body
 Grape-Nuts is crisp, dainty and de- licious food, selected parts of the grain treated by heat, moisture and time to slowly and perfectly develop the dias- tase from the grain and transform the starch into grape sugar in the most per feet manner; the small particles of phosphate of potash found in certain parts of the cereals are retained and these elements vitalize and nourish the body, brain and nerve centers.
 In it's predigested form, it furnishes the necessary strength and energy in an easy way for the system to absorb without undue exertion and removes the general feeling of heaViness usual to hot weather.
 Grape-Nuts and cream. a little fruit and possibly an egg or two cooked to suit the taste is an ideal breakfast and will fully sustain the body until the luncheon and supper can be quickly made and have a flavor all their own from the peculiar, mild but satisfying sweet of the grape sugar.
 Grape-Nuts will save the heat of cooking and the exertion of preparing food; will make you feel internally ten degrees cooler and fit you for the sum mer's heat so that you may enjoy the full pleasures of the season.

adjunct for the committee rooms, and these f1ourished with high hand for many years, and, in truth, some of these get goods arrangements still hold good in few of the rooms of the have all-he-wants senators. These side- board arrangements were fearfully abused by many who were permitted to visit the rooms, and finally they were regarged as a nuisance. And, too, some of the papers throughout the country began to make a protest at the large sums onnually set forth by the secreta- ry of the senate as having been expend- ed for snuff, nuiqine, bears oil, pills,'' etc., but which, in fact, went for the genuine old Indian fighter. The com mittee room bar was anything but success and gave the senators vast amount of annoyance from the fellows who were ever ready to panhandle a little liquid refreshments.
 It was in 1866 that Henry Wilson in- troduced resolution in congress abol- ishing the sale of whiskey in the buid- ing. The resolution passed, but it was never effective, and from that day to the present it has not been difficult for a drink hunter to get all he wanted, al- though at intervals it has been an- nounced that the sale of liquor had Tribune.

DRINKS IN THE CAPITOL.

The Hole in the Wall and the Commit
 tee Room Sideboards of Years Ago.
 Now that some of the followers of the water wagons in the house and senate
 are threatening to abolish the sale of 1 liquors from the restaurants of the great building on the hill, and the
 Washington authorities have imposed fines of three hundred dollars each on the keepers of the house and senate res taurants, it is interesting to look back and see how the liquid refreshments were dispensed in the days gone by
 When Webster Calhoun and other legislative giants wanted to wet their whistles when engaged in making laws for their country, they visited what was known as the Hole in the Wall" a small room not far removed from the post office of the senate, which at that time occupied the present supreme court chamber. This small, circular room, which got the name of the Hole in the Wall" was likewise the first restaurant the upper house ever knew, and, as may well be imagined, the menu was not to be compared to that of the present day restaurant, the great statesmen being satisfied with a sandwich of cold beef, tongue, ham, turkey or few hard boiled eggs.
 While the feed" was slow the fluid was plentiful and of the best, adultera- ted and blended whiskeys not being tal- erated. The liquor was good, and as a rule the big men took big drinks. The Hole in the Wall" was for the conven- l. was seldom that the ordinary citizen managed to get a chance to let the place know his presence. Of course, the statesmen were permitted to take their friends in for friendly bumper, but the proprietor generally turned them out when not accompanied by a senator or representative. To some extent the Hole in the Wall'' was a blind tiger and the proprietor was afraid of being pulled"
 When the new senate wing of the Capitol was finished provision was made l in it's basement for the present restau- rant and post office. Later on the libra ry absorbed the old post office, inciden- | tally taking in the Hole in the Wall" but to-day the little circular room re- | mains as a reminder of legislative con- l vivialities of the days long gone.

 Some of the prominent members of the class who were present were Judge w. N. Runyon, Paul k. Clark, Edward Boltwood, D. II, Dodd, of the Dodd, Mead company, H. J. Teller of Colora- do, the son of Senator Teller; F. H. Ma son, of Chicago, Howell Cheney, of South Manchester, Arthur N. Marks, of Bridgeport Harrison B. Freeman, of Hartford, Otto A. Schrieber, Judge H. o. Bowen and William B, Wood, of Bridgeport
 The class held a business meeting in the morning, presided over by c. D. Barnes. The secretary reported that five deaths had recently occurred in the class, the members to die being H. P. Pitkin, G. S. Mowbry, E. O. Stannard, George s. Colt and D. R. Hinkley. It was voted to erect a memorial tablet in memory of MT, Pitkin, and a committee composed of Messrs.

Testimonial Banquet Rendered Him by
 Police Commissioners.
 What was probably the last, and yet the most enjoyable meeting of the board of police commissioners as at present constituted, was held last evening and partook of the nature of a compliment tary banquet and leave taking, as 1t were to Commissioner James J Law ton, whose term expires July i, 1902 The banquet was held at Cox's Surf house, Savin Rock, and was rendered to the re- tiring commissioner by the other mem bers of the board. Those present were Commissioners Corey, Lawton Wheeler, Manning, Thompson, and Kelly, Chief Wrinn and Clerk Southworth.
 After all present had done full justice to the toothsome viands and the cigars had been passed around, the balance of the evening was spent in social inter course and passed only too quickly for those present There were no set toasts, but on the contrary everything was of decidedly informal nature and each one of those present view with the other in endeavoring to make the oc- casion one long to be remembered. Each one present by his remarks gave evil dence of the regret which he held at the severance of ties which had been but of the pleasantest nature during the year in which all had been so closely associated together as members of the board, and each expressed the wish that only the richest of earths joys and blessings might fall to the lot of the retiring commissioner.

TENNIS IN ANCIENT FRANCE.

i Among the games pure and simple
 which had so great a popularity that
 archery was neglected for them, the jeu
 de paume or game of tennis held from
 early times the most prominent place
 in France. Everybody played it, kings
 as well as their subjects, Even monks
 were addicted to it. and the Council of
 Sens prohibited their playing, especially
 "in their shirts and in public" The people were SO passonately devoted to this game, and others of the same kind, that they often left their work on week days to go and play and various regu- lations were made at different times either to suppress such games or to al low them only on Sundays, In England
 whther they had been imported, their
 practice had likewise to be restricted.
 We are told that in 1922 there were
 thirteen manufacturers of tennis balls
 in Paris, while there were only eight
 booksellers. The French balls were considered the best in Europe. In Louis
 KITS time the manufacturers complain
 ed that there were dishonest people who
 made spurious limitations of balls, con- taining lime sand, and other materials,
 which made them heavy and injurious; and the King issued an ordinance to the effect that they should be made of good leather and good stuffing, on penalty of a fine and the burning of all bad balls the proper stuff1ng being the hair of animals, usually of dogs. This explains the joke in Much Ado About Nothing on the beard of Benedick, "The barber's man bath been seen with him; and the DIJ of ptaa1y I1a fh q " stuffed tennis balls"
 The game of tennis underwent, in the course of time. various notifications. At first the ball was struck with the pal of the hand, whence the game ieu de peume, and double gloves were some times worn to mitigate the blow. Then the racket was introduced and 1t be- came almost general in the beginning of the sixteenth century, though Bras mus maintained that in his time the use of the hand was considered more ele- gant. The racket had network of cords or a piece of parchment stretched across and, as new parchment was very expensive, the manufacturers frequent ly used the old, and 1t is asserted that in this way some valuable manuscripts disappeared. A man of letters, says Colomes, played with a racket on which could be traced fragments of Titus ! Livius which we do no possess, and | these came from a chemist who had re- ceived several volumes of that author | as present from the nuns of | Fontevrault, and who in his ignorance l hal sold them to a manufacturer of ten his rackets. Tennis was played at first | in undefined open spaces, but by de- grees playgrounds were set apart They | were first walled in and then roofed | over. A fringe was stretched across, which was finally superseded by net. | As in the case of the tournament, the tennis players had to enter into certain engagements before the game, among others not to swear or blaspheme, un-
