pocketbook. Some of the tables are col
Iapsible with folding supports, and may
be slowed in small space The bats or
racquetS are already acquiring as great
tournament bats, club bats and other
kinds. The best have vellum drums, al
though drums are also made in parch-
ment and wood Good players prefer the
short-handled bats to those of REGULATE
length. Ping pong balls are largely i'm
ported. although American manufactur-
ers are experimenting with various mate
rails in hope of improving the celluloid
spheres now in use, giving the regula-
ton size and weight. The net is usually
hand made, of from five to seven inches
In height, linen bound with a fair de-
gree of elasticity. The poles on which 1t
is stretched are shapely wooden pegs,
with leather bottoms, which protect the
table, to which they are fastened with
clamps. In each outfit there are usually
dozen balls. Whether the game is to
have permanent place among the amuse-
ments is a question that IS being discuss
ed by those who have watched and ana
lived the rise and fall of fads in the way
of indoor and outdoor amusements It's
champions contend that it has every pos
Sible requisite for the proper exercise OF
body and mind that young women who
are not equal to the roughing and phys
ical strain entailed by golf tennis and
kindred strenuous sports will be heartily
and BEAUTIFULLY benefited by ping pong
Others contend that the craze now
sweeping over Europe and America is
but a passing fancy that will be shorter
lived than the bicycle vogue, and that
the new amusement will die out with the
coming of the outdoor season. and that
ere another winter arrives it's hold Will
have been broken and the devotees Of
other pleasures will return to their old
gods and idols.-Milwaukee Sentinel.

IS taken, Immediately after striking the
table. The player hits where he thinks
the ball will be, not at the ball itself,
and it is, therefore. almost impossible
bali which hits the racket, and not the
racket that hits the ball. This is en-
tirely defensive play. To attack the
ball must be struck after it has reached
ly then has the player complete control of
the ball. When the ball bounds high it
may be smashed straight on the table
but II your opponent gets back so as to
make the return, twist your wrist 50 that
the ball is hit at right angles to the
hight or even somewhat underneath; it
will drop close to the net and come
straight up or even bounce back over the
net An effective stroke in reply to u
hard drive is that called the Crouch
smash. AS the ball comes toward you,
crouch down and hit it at the edge Of the
table. This is a good return for hard
service, but 1t IS most difficult TO ac-
complish. All these strokes can be done
backhanded-in fact, some are such
easier, as, owing to the wrist having
more play in the proper direction, a great
er twist can be impaired to the ball
In addition ball falling on the right
the back of the hand in any desired di-
rection. This stroke should only tie used
when pressed by a hard ball.
1t will be gathered from the strokes
described that play can be made both
back and forehand. This gives many
more opportunities for deceiving an OPP
ponent Variety is the secret OF success.
Never let your opponent anticipate your
intention. When driven to swing after
hitting the ball, do not stop and turn
back, but continue the swing the same
way, so as to make a complete circle.
The player can get square with the table
much quicker by doing this Ping pong
sets may be had to suit any fancy or any

a severe Illness of three weeks duration
He was brought to my daughter straight
from the nest in Africa, and had he lived
another month would have been about
two years old. He was a singularly clever
bird, and of a charming disposition to
his friends, though very shy and inclined
to be hostile to strangers. He was an ex-
ceptionally good talker for his age, and
showed remarkable intelligence In fitting
his sayings to the occasion. He was very
fond of both fruit and sugar, but / never
knew him to ask for sugar at dinner or
for apple at breakfast. For nuts, which
were kept in a cupboard in the room, he
would ask at any time, and in many SINH
lar ways he showed a vivid association
between the words and the things repre-
sented by them.
But the remarkable and, to me, novel,
power which he displayed at so young an
age was that of acting. He played with
bit of wood exactly as a clever little
girl plays with her doll For example,
he would take the wood in his claw and
would say to It, initiating the voice and
gestures Of my daughter or of one Of the
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-04-06

servants: What, are you going u bite
me? How dare you? I will take the stlcI,
TO you! Then he would shake his head
at the wood and say, Il am ashamed of
you! Whom did you bite? Go on your
perchT Then he would take the wood
to the bottom Of his cage. and. putting III
down on the floor, would hit ii with his
claw several times, saying. Naughty
III cover you up, l win Then ne would
step back from it one or two PAGES. put
his head on one side and say, as he looked
at it, Are you good nOw?"
No attempt was every made, deliberate
ly, to teach him this or any other Of his
histrionic performances. He picked them
up spontaneously from his own observa-
ton and memory.

ton and opposition. He is slowly .increas-
ing in size, but is not as conspicuous now
as we shall have him about the middle of
summer, when he comes above the horf-
Zon about sunset and remains with US
throughout the evening. Jupiter rises
about o'clock in the morning, so that we
have him some little time in view before
the sun comes up. 1t is satisfaction to
know that this giant of the sky is gradu-
ally increasing in size, and that during
the midsummer he will be a glorious OBJ
ject in the evening.
Venus, having transferred her dazzling
personality to the morning sky, is engag-
ed in moving to the furthest westward
point of her swing, and she now gets up
about $3.50 o'clock, pursuing Jupiter with
all possible speed but destined not to
catch him. She is in conjunction with
the moon on the 9Th, and with this some
what embarrassing meeting her part on
the monthly programme is finished.
Mercury, at present a morning star,
is swinging in toward the sun. which
goal he will reach on the 18th, when he

will become an evening star, but it will
be almost another month before we can
see him, at which time he will be near
the furthest eastern point of his swing.
Mercury's variations in apparent size,
due to his varying distances, are very
striking His distance from us varies
nearly 8 to l. and his apparent size is
in inverse ratio. a.tr
Mars plays a very minor part at pres
ent, and is one of the morning stars,
where he remains throughout the rest
of the year He is in conjunction with
the moon on the Sth, and on the 23d
passes through similar experience with
Mercury.
Uranus and Neptune fail to be of par
ticular interest in April. Into the great
void beyond the circles in which these
distant planets revolve the King Of Day
sends his comets as scouts, and they fly
thousands of years without for one in
slant missing the steady grasp of the
power of the sun that controls us all.

The capacity of the gray parrot for re-

language and for initiating the cries and
sounds made by other animals, both
beasts and birds, is well known. The re-
markable aptitude which this parrot
shows for Saying the right thing at the
right time" is also, believe, well known
to those who have been familiar with
intelligent specimens of the bird. But I
was not, until recently, aware that the
bird can be not only an excellent mimic,
but also a good. actor.

HOW TO PREVENT cRoup.

It will be good news to the mothers of small children to learn that croup can be prevented. The first sign of croup Is hoarseness. A day of two be- fore the attack the child becomes hoarse. This is soon followed by a pc culiar rough cough. Give Chamber lains Cough Remedy freely as soon as the child becomes hoarse. or even after the rough cough appears. and 1t will dispel all symptoms of croup. In this way all danger and anxiety may be , avoided. This remedy is used by many thousands of mothers and has never been known to fail. It is, in fact. the only remedy that can always be de- pended upon and that is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by Elvey & Hu- lett, Druggists.
