The Game of Net Ball.

Take q racket, u tennis ball, a hsh
landing net, stretch of clear ground
and a friend. Give your friend the net
and try a forty yard volley drive at
him. Let him (or herr catch the drive
with the net; exchange implements and
let him Tor herr drive at you. When
YOU have done this the charm of net
ball will not have to be explained and
YOU will be ready to look into the way
in which it Is played The game has
the excitement Of real outdoor sport,
but II is without the walking and wait
ing Of golf, the violence of basket ball
or the endless repression Of tennis,
In which one must always consider the
narrow limits put on the splendid
driving power of the rackets. The joy
of the long, free vOlley drives Of net ball
IS a great part of the game, and this
leads to many interesting variations in
the way of driving and netting contests
and varied target competitions. In Its
various forms the game is adapted to
all ages and conditions Of men, women
and children. In general, as with all
new games, experience must work out
its salvation. The game is most
elastic; handicaps innumerable may be
used to keep up the interest and to
bring players of varying ability to-
gether Played with the good nature
that ought to rule all games it is bound
to be great addition to outdoor life
and its sports.-Gilbert TOmpkinS In

Breaking out Of rather than INTO
fail is what one is ordinarily accus-
toned to read about, but Belfast, Ire
land, has provided new type when a
man was charged in court with the
offense of burglaring the prison. When
asked for an explanation Of his con-
duct. he told the policeman that the
burglaring tendency was so strongly
developed In him that he felt ne must
break into something, and as the
prison was the most likely place In
which to find a kindred spirit he de-
cided to "try rs luck" This was not
the first Of this mans peculiar esca-
pades. He had previously been charged
in Dublin with breaking into one OF
the hospitals and explained his con-
duct by stating that he wanted to
steal corpse. What is puzzling every
one Is how he has managed to get over
walls twelve and fourteen feet high
without the aid of ladders or other
contrivanceS.

Mutual Fears.

At Il private musicale in New York,
given 10y a prominent society woman,
there were present number of Amer
lean composers, among them Victor
Herbert.
In the absence of one of the singers
scheduled to appear, a certain young
woman was asked to sing something
Of IIerbert's. After many objections
and prOtestations. evidently for effect,
the young woman finally made her way
to the piano.
Il shall sing the screnade from Mr.
Herbert's opera of that name" said
she, addressing the company generally.
Then In a whisper to Herbert she
added:
But, oh, Mr.. Herbert, I'm so afraid
l can't sing IT,"
"Never mind" responded Herbert re-
assuringly. II am too."-Llppincott's.

Standing it is worth $40 q ton; cut and

worth $50; turned into viscose and
spun into silk it is worth $500.

DIET AFTER AGE OF FORTY.

Rules TO Lengthen Life.

An English Authority Lays Do""
Rules TO Lengthen Life.
DR.. Cohen, n noted London physician,
has furnished Il diet that people may
eat after middle age to keep from
growing old too rapidly. Among the
foods most likely to have the effect OF
keeping the body youthful, us stated by
him. are the following, which any one
past forty should use In preference to
the heavier and richer articles ana
which all city people will probably hnd
most suitable from the age Of twenty
eight or thirty onward:
Mutton.-It Is better than beer tor
sedentary people. The leg Is the best
according to DR.. Burney Yeo. Young
and tender fowl and game; eggs light
" cooked cooked in every form or
beaten up with milk and little sherry.
Milk.-It is better always to boil IT,
1t is as good in buildings, cocoa, cofree'
etc, as alone.
Potted meats and game, If genuine
and unadultcrated, are nutritious ana
digestible.
Fish. particularly white fish, such as
sole. whiting, cod, founders, smelts,
etc Fish is better boiled than fried.
Grilled bacon.
Sound. pure bread. 1t Is best when
homemade.
Porridge of rice, tapioca, sago arrow
roof macaroni. made with milk ana
eggs.
Vegetable purees of all kinds.
Stewcd celery, stewed onions, spin
ach. artichokes and nearly all vegeta-
bleS.
Stewcd or baked fruits of every KIND
and raw, we'll ripencd apples, pears
cranes. oranges, Strawberries, etc.
What is to he drunk? If wine or beer
he taken. it should he light; II spr-
its. they should be diluted. No alco-
holic drink should be taken except In
very small amount
Tea, coffee, chocolate, are oil good
Tea and coffee, however, should De
light and quickly made.
Hard water is probably an active
agent in aging the body. 1t Is said to
produce calculus and may harden the
arteries. With hardened arteries one
cannot be young Use soft water fol
drinking.
These are only some of the foods that
may be used. 1t Is n mistake to restrict
the dietary too much. Moderation Is
the thing to keep always in mind.
With attention to food. air, exercise
and the hygiene of the mind, most PEG
ple might be ten or twenty years
younger than they really are. Th'
great scientist DR.. MetchnikOff thinks
we ought to live ten times rs long N
the period we take to develop-that Is
from go to $50 years. There Is N
reason. therefore, why we should no
remain youthful until we pass seyent!
or even eighty. Some people accom-
plsh 1t. and it is possible for grea
number.
DO not eat heavy suppers.
Drink little or no alcohol
Avoid rich meats and pastry.
Do not grow fat by eating too much
Fat people seldom reach good oil
age.
The youthful old man is lean.
Lessen your food continually as yo'
grow older
Overeatlng produces all the disease
that make one old.

SAM R. IRELAND
WELL KNOWN ASHLAND MAN
PASSES AWAY AT WASH
INGTON.

Ashland, KY, April 24.-Sam r.
Ireland is dead, and around his mem
ory hangs the story OF a career such
as few men live through even to
the age of thirty-five years. Sam
Robb Ireland, son OF the late Judge
W. c. Ireland, of this city, was
several years ago through his ardent
desire for adventure and his magnifi-
cent physique and fine mind, appoint
ed to the body guard OF President
Mckinley, and was the first man to
capture CEologosz, the assassin of
the third of the country's martyred
Chief Executives.
The news OF his death, at his home
In Washington, came suddenly to his
friends and relatives In this city, and
now stories are being told OF his ca
reer. II was this man who originated
the unique campaign button Sixteen
to One" representing the sixteen
petaled daisy with yellow center, and
1t was he who was forced to leave
France while in the United States
secret service, on charge of trim
ming the Frenchmen, after having
taught them how to play poker. This
affair at the time almost started in
ternational difficulties, but was set
tied by the powers behind the throne
In some manner.
He was lawyer ana possessed OF
one Of the most brilliant as well as
humorous minds in Northern Ken
lucky. The body of Mr.. Ireland was
brought here yesterday for burial by
the side Of his parents, who sleep in
Ashland cemetery. The funeral will
take place tomorrow.

Governor Magoon, rather than con-

are indispensable for custom house

in accord on the subject, is nothing
short OF preposterous. The matter

is quite useless The motives which
