Tennis ard Law., Terris.

There are thousands who imagine
that tennis and lawn tennis are identi-
cal In America tennis, the mother
game, is always known IS court ten
mis-, whereas lawn tennis is gener-
ally known as tennis" The games
are in many respects very diff
ferent. The court. which in lawn
tennis is open, in tennis is closed
at the back and sides by the walls, and
almost Invariably above by a roof
There is q considerable amount of play
off the packard side walls. The balls
are harder than lawn tennis balls, be-
ing, in fact, Of the consistency CT
cricket balls. Hence the rackets are
heavier and the gut is thicker.-Fry

POOLING A CAMEL.
How the Arabs Let TIE Animal Exhaust
Its Bad Temper.

How the Arabs Let the Animal Exhaust
Its Bad Temper.
You all have heard stories about tile
camel-hOw patient and useful he is
OH long, hot journeys, 50 that he is
often called the ship Of the desert"
But lie has one very bad fault. He
likes to 'pay back" and if his driver
has injured him in any way he VIII not
rest till he has returned the injury.
The Arabs, who wander about the
deserts and SO use the camel Il great
deal, know about this fault of his and
have a queer way of keeping them
selves from getting hurt.
When a driver has made his camel
angry, he first runs away out of sight.
Then, choosing place where the camel
will soon pass, he throws down some
of his clothes and fixes them so that
the heap will look like Il sleeping man.
Pretty soon along comes the camel
and sees the heap. Thinking to him
self, ''NOw I've got him." he pOunces
on the clothes, shakes them around and
tramples all over them. After he is
tired of this and has turned away the
driver can reappear and ride him away
without harm.
Poor silly camel! He has been in
what we call "a blind rage" so angry
that he can't tell the difference be-
tween a man and heap of Clothes

The color of a cloud depends on the
manner in which the sunlight falls upon
it and the position of the observer. 1t
will be noticed that high clouds are al
ways white or light in color, and this
is because the light by which they are
seen is reflected from the under surface
by the numberless drops of moisture

"Hanqed" ard "Hunc."

Perhaps the Bible has had an infiu-
ence in preventing many people from
distinguishing between the uses of
hanged and ''hung," says 4 London
writer. They hanged Haman, but
the Jews in captivity also hanged
their harps upon the willows" and in
the New Testament we read cit were
better for him that a milestone were
hanged about his neck" If hanged"
was correct in either sense in the days
of the authorized version, those who
are not strong upon grammar may be
subconsciOusly induced to believe that
hung" is correct in both senses now.
But it is curious that the exclamation
I'll be hangedr never appears as 'I'll
be hung"'

IMPURE MILK AND CREAM.
Number Of Violations Of the Law
Reduced Of Late.

Since the edict went forth from the as
sistant corporation counsers Office several
days ago that collateral less than SO
should not be accepted in impure milk
and cream arrests" there has been a de-
cided falling OF in the number of cases
of the character in question before the
Police Court.
1t Is said there has been a sort Of recog-
nized custom among Inscriptions dairy
product dealers when placed under arrest
for selling milk and cream containing less
than the legal quantity OF fat particles
or showing decided watering. to go to
the nearest police station and deposit COL
lateral. invariably not more than S. With
the deposit Of the collateral the dealer
regarded his violstion Of the pure food
law and arrest closed. Usually not more
than one such defendant in ten appeared
in the Police Court and stood trial
The fact that the authorities are de-
termined to break up the practice of SELL
ing impure milk, as shown by the raise
in the amount of collateral a few days
ago, has had a deterrent effect, as shown
by the number of arrests since last Tues
day. these being less than for the same
number Of successive days in the past
three months.
The change for the better has occurred.
1t is explained, in spite of the redoubled
efforts Of the inspectors, who have been
working faithfully in an effort to reduce
the violations to a minimum.
Referring to the record Of the past few
days, Assistant Corporation Counsel Pugh
said today: ut is most gratifying to
notice the change. but there is still room
for more Improvement as we want to
eliminate the evil entirely. There are
several cases pending, involving whole
sale dealers. who have undoubtedly i'm
posed upon honest dealers, and 1t Is this
source Of the violations which is the
hardest to reach. Several heavy fines or
demands for large collateral will. we
hope, have a salutary effect. The small
dealers are learning the lesson. and we
anticipate that these cases will become
fewer and fewer in number"
