BASQUE GAME OF PELoTA.

The Basque game of ''Pelota" has
become naturalized in Madrid-as for
that matter in all large Spanish cities.
l believe an unsuccessful attempt was
once made to introduce it in San
Francisco a few years ago. But there
can be no doubt as to its success in
Madrid. The game is a kind of hand
ball, but is played with scoop-shaped
rattan rackets bound to the wrist
with thongs. The courts are about
COO feet long and 80 feet wide, divided
into rectangles, something like tennis
courts. There are two players on a
side, called rojos and azules-reds and
blues. The ball is served against the
end wall, and the player on the oppo-
site side must return il. The points
are counted much as in tennis. But
otherwise the game is very different.
The ball is served with a velocity
which is astounding; a player at the
back of the curb often sends il with
such violence that Ii rebounds from
the fronton or opposing wall to the
wall behind him-something over 1000
feet. Occasionally the ball will strike
the corner of the court, in which case
it comes out among the boolmakers,
attendants and spectators on the
ground floor, the higher-priced seats
being above. When such a ball comes
out it is amusing to see the spectators
get out of the way-like lightning a
clear lane appears among them,
through which Kisses the ball. At the
old Haight street baseball grounds in
San Francisco there would occasional
ly be mot" ball, tipped off the bat
on foul, fly into the club boxes, and
shake up the bondholders; but such
ball was like floating thistledown COM
pared to the "hot" balls at the "Pelota"
fronton in Madrid.
Not only is the game exciting, but
the crowd itself makes an excited
scene. Spaniards are born gamblers,
and during the progress of the "Pelo-
Ia" games there is a continuous roar
of betting. The bookmakers stand on
the floor of the court calling out the
odds. while their partners in the gal
leries above take the spectators bets
and toss them below in little rubber
balls, while the bookmakers return
the pool checks by tossing them back.
There was some very neat catching
done-I saw no muffs. In Spain, at
bull-rings and similar places, much bus
mess is done ION the gy" by peddlers
of oranges, cigarets and matches.
As the game nears its end, the ex-
citement grows greater-as one side
passes the other and then falls back,
the odds suddenly change. There was
no free fight the day we were there, al
though it sounded a good deal like a
riot. Evidently it was not always so
peaceful, as large placards on the
walls urged the spectators to be calm,
to respect the law, not to fight, and not
TO attack he players.-Jerome A. Hart
in the San Francisco Argonaut.

Art in Pot Lids.

Amongst the fancies that have been
developed by collectors of the present
day is one for the fancy lids of pots
that once contained ported meat, or
fish, or pomade. No measure of
antiquity, or quality, or material is
claimed for these, but collectors are
with justice able to claim for then.
a certain connection with art.
Very many of the articles that are
collected with pains and at not in
cost barely escape the
charge of being groiesque. but a large
of the pot lids are repro

auctions, in miniature, of really excel
lent pictures. Pastoral scenes. ship
ping and seaside pictures, and views of
well-known buildings-scenes in Wash
ington for instance-are popular sub
jects, and amongst the most coveted
are copies of Morland's pictures. For
these as much as So has been asked
but the ordinary price is from so to 75
cents.
A collection is, of course, valued ac-
cording to the extent and the variety
of its subjects. The smaller specimens
are those less frequently met with, and
they generally have for their subject
scenes in which bears appear-as sug-
gestive of bears grease, these being
the lids of pomade pots. The only
effective way of showing the pot lids
is to mount them in circular black
nodded frames and hang them together
on the wall, either in a straight line or
in a circle surrounding some larger
object.

TORTURING
DISFIGURING
Skin, Scalp and Blood
HulnOurS
From PimpIGS to SGrOfula
From Infancy TO Age
Speedily Cured by CutiGura
When All Else Fails.

The agonizing itching and burning Of
the skin, as in Eczema; the frightful
scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair
and crusting of the scalp, as in SCALED
head; the facial disfgurements, as In
acne and ringworm; the awful suffer-
ing of infants, and anxiety of worm
out parents, as in milk crust, letter and
salt rheum,-all demand remedy of
almost superhuman virtues to success
fully cope with them. That Cuticura
Soap, Ointment and Resolvent are such
stands proven beyond all doubt. No
statement is made regarding them that
is not justified by the strongest evil
dence. The purity and sweetness, the
power TO afford immediate relief, the
certainty of speedy and permanent cure,
the absolute safety and great economy,
have made them the standard skin
cures, blood purifiers and humour RENE
dies of the civilized world.
Battle the affected parts with hot
water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the
surface of crusts and scales and soften
the thickened cuticle. Dry, without
rubbing, and apply Cuticura Oint-
ment freely, to allay itching, irritation
and Inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and, lastly, take Cuticura Resolvent, to
cool and cleanse the blood. This COM
Plete local and constitutional treatment
affords instant relief, permits rest and
sleep in the severest forms of eczema
and other itching, burning and scaly
humours of the skin, scalp and blood,
and points to speedy, permanent and
economical cure when all else fails.

ment will be in much better position TO
insist upon the carrying out of the
terms Of the treaty with China, which
provides that two Manchurian ports.

the commerce of the world.
II has been stated positively by State
Department officials that it is the pur-
pose of the United States 10 insist on
the opening Of these two ports regard
less of whether China has lived up to
it's agreements with Russia. The desig-
nation Of the Helena to take station at
Niuchwang and remain there in mud
dock all winter indicates that the
United States proposes TO back up it's
demends with force. If this be found
necessary.
The re-entrance Of Russian troops into
Mukden a few days ago is supposed to
have inspired the instructions to the
Navy Department to order the Helena
yesterda-- to proceed frorI Shanghai to
Niuchwang without delay. Niu-
chwang is near Muklon and is in a com
manding position. II is a treaty port

has been ordered to take full cargo Of
coal TO Cavite and proceed at once to
Niuchwang to supply the Helena.
