Cecil Rhodes, who is often described
ed as ''the man who made south
Africa" is reported to be dying. Mr..
Rhodes was formerly premier of
Cape Colony, and is certainly the most
prominent and powerful man in south
Africa He is likewise the Wealthiest
man in that section. He has
achieved that place in Twenty-Five
of serious lung trouble, and went to
the cape in search of health. He is
the youngest son of an English clergy
man, and was born at Bishop Stort-
ford, on July 5, 1853. He did not go
to south Africa to seek diamonds, but
because his physician had ordered a
change He continued his studies
while living in Natal, and returned to
oxford each year until he took his
degree at Oriel college.
1t is hardly too much to say that
Mr. Rhodes has made his fortune in
diamonds Diamonds had been dis
covered in south Africa, few years
before he got there. Finally he too,
caught the fever. and it was not long
before he had staked all he had in a
few claims. These he shared with his
brother, Herbert, who later relin-
quished his share and went to the
north, where he met his death while
hunting elephants. Cecil plOdded
away in the diamond fields, where he
superintended his gang of Kaffirs.
He was successful in his ventures,
and it was not long before he found
himself the possessor of 6 100000.
He was elected to the Cape parlia-
ment, and by his political adroitness
was made prime minister in 1890 He
sought and won riches, but it is I'M
fair to assume that he has done so
solely for his own aggrandizement.
With the adva1cement of his personal
fortune he has also striven to realize
an early dream of bringing Africa I'M
der British dominion.
That's my dream-all English, he
said many years ago, moving his
hand over map of Africa up to the
Zambesi. Coupled with the acquisi-
ton of wealth he has labored toward
that end.

TO PLAY PING-PONG.
Another Description of the Game Now
Becoming Popular.

Another Description of the Game Now
Becoming Popular
Ping-pong, or table tennis, as it is be-
ing called of late, is rapidly working
it's way into the good graces of the
American people. Although the game
has been played off and on for the past
fifteen years it has only become pop
ular during the past year.
1t would now seem as though half
the country is ping-pong crazy The
game has been introduced into clubs,
and hundreds of hotels are also putt
ing in tables for the amusement of
their guests.
The bats are made somewhat SIM
liar to a tennis racket, only about a
third as large, and are either strung
with catgut or stretched with a cover
ing of thin sheepskin. The sheepskin
racket gives a strange sound, from
which the game originally got its
name ping-pon~ The balls are made
of very thin celluloid and are white.
They have considerable life or elias
ITCHY and are very strong. Even
when they are driven against hard
surface they will rebound without
injury to the ball. The court is
marked out on a piece of felt, or a
table painted green. The latter is
generally as large as fairly good
sized dining room table. The net is
stretched across the centre of the
court and clamped on to the sides of
the table. The game is played the
same as outdoor tennis, with few
necessary exceptions, and the server
has but one serve instead of two.
The game is by no means confined
| to this country. London society long
ago went wild over the new and now
pet pastime, and, like golf, ping-pong
has already set of terms that des-
cribe the different plays. The ping
pong dictionary to date is as follows:
Back-hand Play-The bat is grasped
with the knuckles outward. This
style is very useful for half volleying
| Break-See screw,
Courts-Ping-pong table Nine feet
long by five feet wide. Is divided in
middle by the net.
Crouch Smash-An invention of the
English champion. An overland
stroke made at the edge of the table,
the player being at a crouching posi-
tiCn.
Dead ball-The ball is dead after
the second bounce from the time it
leaves the players racket and cannot
then be hit.
Diagonal Play-From corner to cor
ner diagonal play. 1t usually means
brief rallies.
Drive-A hard, straight stroke with
no screw.
Fore-hand Play-The racket is held
with the palm of the hand facing the
ball. Good for drives.
Half Volley-Purely defensive The
ball is taken at the moment of bounc-
ing and rebounds almost by it's own
impetus
Left, in serving, the ball touches
the net and then lands in the right
court it is let and counts to no one.
In returns a ball counts as usual.
Rally-Along succession Of returns.
Returns-A reply to service.
Screw-The spin on ball impaired

IDEAL PHYSIQUE.
Few Persons Have the Measurements
of Perfect Proportions.


New Orleans Times-Democrat-
THE tailor who spends his life in
taking human measurements could
probably tell an interesting story
about the decline physically of men
and women, said a man who takes
deep interest in physical culture
and other processes tending to arrest
deteriorating conditions Il doubt
If the measurements taken by tailorS
will show many perfect men and
women. Too many men are wearing
ID collars and too many women are
short on waist dimensions. I was
glancing through Fourman's book a
few days ago, and | was struck by
the dimensions agreed upon by the
best and most authentic authorities
for physical perfection in both men
and woman Take the measure
ments, for instance, of the perfectly
proportioned man, with height of
feet 21a inhes; girth of chest, As
inches; girth of waist 98 inches;
length of upper leg, 171a inches;
length of lower leg, 141a inches;
largest girth of thigh, 221a inches;
girth of calf, 16 inches; length of
arm, 26 inches, and weight, 100
pounds. Go to the tailor and ask
him how many men come up to this
standard. | imagine that one would
spend much time before finding the
perfect physical conditions in con-
junction in single man.
'"The fact Of the business is, that
these proportions are the result Of
idealistic theorizing. A man would
be perfect, indeed, physically, who
could even show a reasonable ap
Proclamation of this standard. Our
tailor's records would probably dis
appoint us badly, and we would likely
become confirmed Delivers in the doc
trine of physical degeneracy in so far
as members of our sex is concerned.
Man has been dwindling somewhat
even in the range of ones own
memory One need not go to the
tailor's nor to the vast wealth OF
statistics which have been compiler
by persons who take a peculiar inter
est in mans physical aspect. One is
conscious of being smaller than ones
father, and less robust, and lacking in
that hardness of temperament found
in the sire and grandsire. Yet the
tailors record will probably show a
few isolated instances where men
have preserved the proportions found
in the physical measurements of the
perfect man. And this, after all, is
the goal toward which physical cul-
ture is drifting 1t is not SO much
question Of larger men in stature,
out rather a question of men more
perfectly balanced physically-men
whose parts will approximate at least
the equilibrium found in The perfect
measurements Of the physical culture
doctrinaire. If one must weigh 100
pounds, and stand up to height of
over six feet, one might as we'll give
up on the start. But one may at
least approximate the ideal proper
tions, and this is what physical cul
ture proposes to do"

We are lilies fair,
Flower of virgin light,
Nature held us forth, and said,

Ever since. angels
Hold us in their hand,
You may see them where they take
In pictures their sweet stand
Like the gardens angels
Also do we seem,
And not the less for being crowned
With a golden dream.
Could you see around us
The enamored air,
You would see it pale with bliss
To hold thing so fair
Is not hat both beautiful and true?

this tube gets infamed you have Q

and when it is entirely closed deaf
