Among all the popular games Of to-

originated in the ball games of the

struck by the hand, later on heavy
gloves were worn or cords strapped
round the palm, and the racquet was
centrived during the fifteenth CEN
fury in France, where the game was
very popular, and thence introduced
into England. The Captain.

Roadside Wit.

He who matched wits with the au- thor of The Ancient Mariner" had in- deed lively task before him, for Cole ridge was never caught mapping. The poet was so awkward a horseman that his riding often attracted comment of anything but complimentary nature. One day he was riding along the turn pike road in the county of Durham when a wag who met him fastened upon him as an excellent subject for sport. Consequently he drew rein and said in an impertinent drawl:
 My graceful friend, did you happen to meet a tailor on the road?
 I'm inclined to think I did," said Coleridge meditatively. T was not sure at the moment, but he said some thing about my meeting a goose far ther along the road"
 The wag put spurs to his horse, and the poet logged calmly on his way.

A FAMOUS ROAD.
India's Tree Bordered Highway 1900
 Miles In Length.

India's Tree Bordered Highway 1,2oo Miles In Length.
 The road I have in my mind is in India and stretches 1,2QO miles from Lahore to Calcutta. It is the famous Grand Trunk road. Let me explain its nature, though one cannot do so by comparison, for there is no road of five miles in England that is anything like it. It is level. Indeed, there is not above mile the whole distance where even a lady need dismOunt to walk. The material with which 1t is made is called kunker, and if you care to turn that word into concrete you have an idea of what it is like. It is exceeding l%>hard and as smooth as a prepared pavement. There is no dust. When I first got on this road and enjoyed the luxury of easy travelling l said, This is magnificent, but in a little time 1 suppose it will become gritty and un- even." went 50, 100 miles, 200 miles, 800, GOO TOO miles, and 1t was always the same, with not even a small stone to give a jog. Nearly the whole of the way is lined with double row of ma jestic trees.
 With two friends I rode across India during the hottest time of the year, in April and May, and was never serious ly inconvenienced by the heat, for at pace of fifteen miles an hour one could create a draft.-Chambers' Journal.
