POPULAR GERMAN SPORT.
PushbaII, Rapid Game. Played by
Teams On Horseback.

4 new and extremely interesting
game has recently been started at the
Berlin circus ID Berlin, SAYS the New
York journal 1t is pushball, played
by teams Oh horseback Not only have
professionals engaged in the game. but
4 number Of amateur teams have been
organized, and the sport is rapidly ris-
ing I'M popularity.
The same number 81 players are EN-
ployed in the game rs when il is
played by teams on foot. The only die
ference is that the teams are mounted,
and the ball is considerably larger. IN
Berlin the ball is trife over five feet
in diameter and is made very strong.
The goals are the entrances to the are
ma, ana each goal is guarded By q
mounted keeper,
AS in the game when played on foot,
the purpose is to push the ball through
the goal posts and so score. AS the ball
is very light, pushball on horseback Is
4 rapid and somewhat dangerous game.
Riders frequently have falls, and not
infrequently both horse and rider SO
down together 1t is. however not so
dangerous as polo and IS almost as
rapid. Riders are not allowed to touch
the ball with their hands, the pushing
being done entirely BY the horses.

Meanwhile Zach had proceeded on

beginning by working a few acres him
self, saving most of the proceeds of his
crops, repairing his buildings with his
own hands during the winter season
and. as his boys grew older avalling
himself Of their help. Every season
he cultivated more acres than the pre-
ceding one till the whole plantation
was productive. While many planters
sold their best seed to the cottonseed
oil manufacturers Zach declined to
sell his seed at any price, putting i
all into the ground The result was
that he got larger crops, better cotton
and higher prices than his neighbors.
The time came when he had more
money In bank than he cared to use in
his planting.
zach had often visited bis former
mistress and begged her to let him do
something for her, but the idea Of &C.

Zach went to the old plantation and as
he entered the grounds noticed that
there was not negro on the place.

Acts Like Oxygen.

Liquozone is the result Of d process
which, for more than 90 years, has
been the constant subject Of scientific
and chemical research. Its virtues are
derived solely from gas, made in large
part from the best oxygen producers.
By 8 process requiring immense ap-
paratus and II days time, these gases
are made part Of the liquid product.
The result IS a product that does
what oxygen does. Oxygen gas, as
you know, IS the very source of vital
ity, the most essential element OF life.
Liquozone is a yitalizing tonic with
which no other known product can
compare. But germs are vegetables;
and Liquozone. which--like oxygen
IS life to an animal, is deadly to vege-
tai matter.
