The Ball in Lawn Tennis.

It Is a curious fact that every book
written on lawn tennis cautions the
player to keep his eyes on the ball at
the moment of striking it, yet there are
very few expert players who do so.
A rifle shot looks at his target, a bowl
er looks at the pins, and a billiard
player generally looks at the object ball,
not the cue ball. l have found ii next
to impossible to carry in my mind,
while moving rapidly to play a flying
ball, the exact height Of the net, the
direction Of the lines Of my opponents
court and his position, so that it has
become second nature with me and
with most other players to look up in
the direction that the ball is to go
before ii actually leaves the racket. 1t
Is principally because the reverse Of
this is necessary in golf that lawn ten
mis- players have so much trouble in
mastering the old Scotch game. From
tennis habit they take their eyes off
the ball too soon for golf SUGGEST.

No One Wanted Box Ia.

In no other western European coun,
try Is superstition so prevalent rs in
Austria Hungary, according to the Pail
Mall Gazette. Quite recently the cham
berlain's office changed the number of
box ID in the Imperial opera house and
the Imperial Court theater to 12A be-
cause the public objected to sitting in
q box bearing this unlucky number.
None Of the rich subscribers who takes
q box for the year wanted No. IS. and
for single performances 1t was Just as
hard to dispose of.
The superstition reached its height In
medicine. Speaking Of the health exhi-
bition, DR.. Heinrich Grun declared that
IN many instances superstition, and es-
pecially local superstition, was an alb
solute n to public health.
In the Austrian hospitals one finds
no block or pavilion 10, no ward 13, no
staircase 13. Very few patients will
consent to be operated on the 18th
day Of the month, and in this respect
Friday, too, is considered just as un-
lucky. At Carlsbad, Marienbad, Gastein
and other famous Austrian cure resorts
nobody wants to begin his cure on q
Friday.

United States Consul Workman, Of
that the destruction of the Canadian
forests Is due principally to the large
demands for lumber from the United
States. The United States takes only
about % per cent of her timber con
sumption from Canada. The States
consume yearly about 100000 cords
sf pulp wood, of which the Adirondack
forests ale2e furnish 100000 cords.
From Canada the pulp wood exports for
the year ended July l, 1901, were 49,
e3S cords. valued at 81, ,049, and for
the year ended July l, 1905, the value
reported was ST. ,S14, the United
States taking all the shipments. To
this should be added another product
Of the forests, the ground wood pulp,
which now supports thirty-eight mills,
turning out 254 tons daily, of which,
besides the home consumption, the OK
port in 1905 amounted in value to So

this export to the amount Of $2,604,-

Some Canadians who are well In
formed on the question Of lumber eX-
ports express pessimistic views regard
Ing the export trade in lumber from
Canada to England. The indications
are that in the immediate future ship
ments of lumber to England will be
small, In comparison with the record
of the past. English dealers are now
ordering their supplies largely from
Sweden and Norway, where they can
purchase more cheaply than in the Ca
madam market. Canada's future mar
ket, it Is asserted, will be the United
States. Buyers from this country have
already made an invasion of the Do
miniOn to purchase large quantities Of
thu Southern white pine, and the I'M
usual Increase in the demand has ad-
vanced the price Of that wood 100 per
e II already. This change Of condi-
tons has led the Canadian lumbermcn
to realize that henceforward their mar
ket will be the United States, and that
they will have no need to rely upon the
European market for the disposal OF
their produce.

Good Crops for Old Grass Land.

The question Of what to do with grass
land after haying, where the land is
run out and poor, is a rather puzzling
one, but if we should get rain enough
to soften the surface and permit easy
blowing, it may be broken up, enriched
with manure or fertilizer and immedi-
ately seeded with Hungarian. In case
the weather should prove too dry for
this, barley may be sown either alone
or with rye IN August for fall feeding.
Off good, strong land, well enriched, a
crop of late cabbage plants may be set
as late as July 10; the turnip seed
may be sown even as late as Aug. /,
though July 20 Is a better time.

newspapers have caused sensation here
by the publication of documents found
among ex-President Garcia's private
papers.
The document found treats of the sale
of the Galapagos Islands to the United

offered to France. Garcia's memorandum
says:
while in Washington / visited Pres
ident Roosevelt and inquired into the
question whether the United States was
disposed to take over the Galapagos ISL
ands, paying Ecuador $4,000 in gold for
them. Mr.. Roosevelt's reply said he
would recommend the proposal to Com
gress and was sure it would be accepted

ter to continue negotiations in Quito.
A few days later Joseph W. ]. Lee, the
American minister to Ecuador arrived
in Ecuador" 1t appears the Alvaro

throw Of Garcia ended the negotiations.
The official papers call Garcia and his
minister traitors for trying to sell part
Of the national territory. Negotiations
with France are said to have been in
terrupted owing to the belief that
United States would not consent to a
European power acquiring the islands.
A meeting was called at Quito, the
capital last night to protest against this
action of Garcia and his ministers.
