A DOES STRATAGEM.
Threw the Dogs Of the Scent and
Saved Her Fawn.


The following anecdote is related by
NJ. y. Raspail. 1t is worthy Of com
parlson with the most remarkable of
instances of the same kind:
The author one day perceived doe
in full flight before two dogs in the
Aigle woods that form a part Of the
forest of Chantilly. The doe was &C
companicd by very young fawn,
which appeared quite eXhaused and
ready to drop. The mother. doubtless
we'll aware of this, slackened her pace
and presently stopped close to some
thick bramble bushes. She remained
some time there with lowered head as
If awaiting the onset of her purSucrS.
Suddenly an idea seemed to strike
her, and with butt Of the head she
tossed her fawn right into the middle
of the thickct Then, first advancing
gently as if to make sure it was well
hidden, she soon set off by rapid bounds
in front of the dogs The latter bark
ing close upon her heels. she made
sudden bend and thus drew them far
from the spot where this incident oc-
cured. The bowling of the dogs be-
came fainter and fainter, the valiant
animal having doubtless led them two
kilometers away into the Canardiere
peat boys, where the dogs often lose
the scent.
In fact later they were seen return
ing to the village In an exhausted con
dition, while the intelligent mother
doubtless returned to the bushes to
find the little fawn she had so cleverly
hidden and placed In safety.-Nulgari-

The Parthenon.

The destruction OF that famous
building the Parthenon took place in
1857 during the siege of Athens by
the Nenetians. The Turks held the
powder magazine. One day during
the conflict a Venetian bombshell drop
ped into the building, and the explo-
sion followed which badly shattered
the structure. From that date the re-
nowned building has stood roofess and
exposed to all the inclemencies of the
weather. For more than 1000 years
the temple stood entire, and in its
ruins is the architectural wonder Of
the world.-New York American.

Peculiar Taxation In Holland.

Some OF the most peculiar Of taxa
tions recorded are to be found in the
archives Of Holland. In 1871, for in
stance, there was in existence a tax
imposed on all passengers travelling in
Holland. In 1874 duty Of 2 shillings
was levied on each person who entered
a tavern before noon. on those who en-
tered place Of entertainment, on mar
riages and deaths and on many other
things. If person was buried out Of
the district to which he belonged the
tax was payable twice over

Boys In Female Parts and the First

Not long since a critic, noticing the
advent of a new Ophelia in London.
observed that, while the actress ac-
quilted herself very well. she could
hardly be considered "Shakespcare's
Ophelia," which was undoubtedly the
case, inasmuCh as ShakcSpeare's Ophe-

ing defeat at the hands Of A. F. Widing, the Aus
tralian player, and that in a contest that cannot
be regarded as wholly conclusive
For all the splendid achievements, however
of the older tennis players experts who are yet
very much in the game there is ample evidence
that the time is almost at hand when they must
step aside for the group of younger men who
have been forging ahead of late in a lAost deter.
mined manner. Oddly enough almost all of
these new stars of the tennis armament are west
erners. Very much in the public eye just at pres
ent is Bundy, the whirlwind player from Cali
fornia, who this year defeated "all comers" and
only met his Waterloo when he faced Larned.
Even at that the outcome might have been diff.
ferent had the lad from the Golden Gate state not
been exhausted by long series of contests.
Even more interesting is the future of Maurice
f. mclaughlin, the boy wonder from Calfor-
mia, whom Larned has lately taken up as his pro-
tege and upon whose shoulders it is rumored he
proposes to let fall the mantle of the champion.
Mclaughlin, who is yet in his teens, is dash

strokes and>with deadly serve" that is cacu-

is now the hope of all American tennis enthusi-
asts that Larned, Wright and Mclaughlin can
be induced to form team that will go to Aus
tralia and attempt to recover the Davis cup-the
great international blue ribbon trophy of the
tennis world-which won by Australian play
ers some years ago and which neither American
nor English players have ever been able to wrest
from their grasp.
The game Of lawn tennis resembles in some
respects the ancient game of tennis which in its

open air. The modern sport seems to have origi-
mated almost simultaneously in the United States

definite form in England in the year 1874, giving

Professional Eaters

Many striking customs of their past still
preserved by the Indians of the northwest and
of these none is more interesting than peculiar
practise yet followed by the Sioux of the Devils
Lake reservation.
It appears on competent authority, that from
time immemorial these Sioux have adhered to
an etiquette whereby it is the bounden duty Of
the host to supply his guest with all the food he
may desire, and as rule the apportonment set
before the visiting Indian is in excess of the
pacity of single man.
On the other hand by the same custom, the
guest is obliged to eat all that is placed before
him. else he grossly insults his entertainer. Now,
1t was found that this practise would work a
hardship, but instead of dispensing with the GUS
tom the Indian method of reasoning was applied
and what is known as the professional eater was
brought to the front
While the guest is supposed to eat all that is
placed before him, it serves the same purpose
If his neighbor assists in devouring the bounti-
full repast, the main object being to have the
plate clean when the meal shall be finished.
1t is not always practicable to depend upon
a neighbor at table to assist in getting away with
large dinner, and in order to insure the final
consumption of the allotted portion visiting ndi,
ans call upon these professional eaters, whose
duty it is to sit beside them through meal and
eat what the guest eats.
The professional eaters never looked upon
in the light of guests but more as travelling com
panions with particular duty to perform.
These eaters receive from 81 to 50 and even
So for each meal where they cssst. 1t is stated
that one of the professional eaters was known

was introduced by the Renshaw brothers. the
service line was brought one foot nearer the
center and the height of the line was raised
again to three feet six inches, making the ad-
yantages of the different styles Of play more
equal.
Eight years later the English National Lawn
Tennis association was formed. Ever since then
it has been the governing body for England and
the surrounding countries in which the game
has since spread. The courts of all countries
have the same dimensions. The following is the
official description Of the American court. The
court is 78 feet long and 27 feet wide 1t is d.
vided across the middle by net, the ends Of
which are attached to two posts standing three
feet outside of the court on either side. The
height of the net is three feet six inches at the
post and three feet in the middle half way be-
tween the side lines and parallel with them Is
drawn the court line dividing the space each
side of the net into two equal parts, the right
and left courts. On each side of the net at
distance of 81 feet from it are drawn the service
lines. Two kinds of game are played singles"
and doubles" two partners on each side. The
choice of sides of the court and the right to
serve first decided by the toss of a coin. The
players stand opposite sides of the net, the
player who first delivers the ball being called the
server and the other the strikerout. At the end
of the first game the striker-out becomes the
server, and so on alternately. The server delv-
ers the ball, or service, from the right to the
left courts. 1t must drop between the service
line. half court line and side line of the court,
diagonally opposite to that which is being
served.
The system of scoring is framed on basis
of Is for each stroke won; but the third stroke
is called 40 instead Of As. If both players win
three strokes the score is called deuce" instead
of forty ALL" The winner of the next stroke
scores advantage" and If he also scores the fol-
lowing stroke, he wins the game If the stroke
falls to the opposite side the score goes back to
deuce" Similarly the player who first scores
six games wins the set, unless both should have
won five, when player must win two consecu-
tive games to the set. If he fails to do this
the score is once more called games all,' and
the same conditions prevail at every set. The
players change sides at the end of every set.
All championship matches have since 1886
been determined by the winning of three sets out
of Ave; but since 1897 the English system OF
handicapping occasionally has been employed but

tionaI Lawn Tennis association was formed and
rules adopted which have, however, been modl-
fed and altered from time to time and since then
the national championships have always been
played at Newport, R. l. A number of English
players have frequently taken part IN these
championship games, with marked success at
first which gradually diminished as the Amerl-
can play developed along national lines. These
may be summed up under these heads: The screw
service, whereby the ball is made to curve In its
downward flight, like the "out drop" OF base
ball pitcher, imparting a double and most baf-
fling motion; the practise of volleying from
position so close to the net that these strokes
can kill the ball; the development OF the stop"
voley, whereby the ball is simply stopped with
a loosely held racket and falls over the net
dead" lobbing very high with slight cut that
gives the ball back twist The American asso
citation has recently modified one of the two i'm
portant differences between the rules of play in
England and America by limiting the rests to
which players entitled between SETS to one
rest after the third set and no more. The other
difference, the foot-fault rule, remains.

DEMANDING BOOKS
LIBRARY ASSOCIATION INAUeUR-
ATEs CAMPAIGN TO PROVIDE
THEM AT THE PLANTS.

Columbus.-Members Of the Ohio
Library association, in convention
here, decided to make an aggressive
campaign to assist in educating work
ingmen in the trades and sciences by
enlarging the circulation of library
books on these subjects. The coop
Grafton Of boards of trade, chambers
of commerce, manufacturers and
business men throughout the state
will be sought. To obtain more books
needed in this campaign private con-
tributions will be solicited and ap-
preparations from municipalities will
be requested. Before the convention
adjourned the executive committee of
the association appointed a committee
of three to arrange for the campaign.
This action was taken by the conven-
ton after the work Of the Dayton pub
lie library and the chamber of COM
merce of that city in circulating
books relating to Dayton industries
was explained and indoresd. One Of
the arguments to be advanced to OBJ
tain funds will be that the value of
the knowledge acquired through dill
gent study of the books will exceed
the amount expended for this pur-
pose.
Robert H. jeffrey of Columbus told
the delegates that it was time for the
public libraries to wake up and give
more consideration toward educating
workingmen in Industrial subjects.

crookesvlIIe District May Settle.

AdYices from the Crookesyille coal
field in Muskingum county, where
5000 minters have been on strike
since April and the mines have been
closed down for all that length of
time, are to the effect that there is a
probability OF a settlement in the dis
trict before the end of this month.
Several Joint conferences of the oper-
ators and miners have been held, the
majority of them in Columbus, but all
have failed to reach an agreement.
The operators declare that under the
tions as proposed by the miners there
is not use in operating the mines, as
no money can be made, but every
days operation would mean a loss. 1t
is now said that the miners have be-
come weary of the long suspension
and with winter coming on are ready
to meet with the operators again and
see if a compromise cannot be
reached. GAINESVILLE advices are to the
effect that there is every probability
that a meeting will be called in
Columbus inside of the next 10 days
at which another effort will be made
to agree upon conditions in the field,
so that the mines can be started. 1t
is said that unless an agreement is
soon reached the operators will make
no further effort, but the mines will
be allowed to remain idle all winter.
II there is no work in the field this
winter the outlook is for much suf-
fering in the district.
