LAWN TENNIS IN AUSTRALIA.

Australia to-day possesses the best lawn tennis players in the world. Norman Brookes has beaten the pick of England and there are a number of players in Australia who can make an excellent partnership with Brookes in doubles any Sme. There is practically no leisure class in Aus tralia, and there are few men who, enthusiastic in sport, can afford six months vacation and the trip to England and back to play in the in- ternational contests. That is why limited number of Australians have been heard of in the annual journeys. But the English critics to-day are admitting that the Aus tralians play the most scientific game and secure the best results all around.-Recreation.

TAKING THOUGHT FOR OTHERS
Consideration That Might Do Much Toward Lessenine Friction of
 Workaday World.

'How interesting life would be if we could appreciate more sympa- thetically the work others do for us in the making and marketing of the articles of common use" said A. l.. Flanders in the Republican house.
 ''It appears to me that the general public IS not sympathetic enough in regard to the work that others do for us in an indirect way. There are many illustrations that can be used to show this.
 ''Take sugar, for instance. When we stir the sugar in our coffee it might be pleasant occasionally to re- fleet that this is the end for which hundreds of people work
 'With proper imagination, we might see them cutting the cane, hauling it away on sledges, filling great cars with it, putting it through the various processes in the mills, piling up in bags and barrels and package crates ready to ship to ware houses from which our grocer gets his supply.
 ''Such thoughts now and then would do much to lessen the friction of the workaday world. If we thought of the baker who makes it possible for us to get bakery prod ucts, maybe the conditions in some bake shops could be improved through public sentiment. Mill waukee Sentinel.
