This sounds like a swear word from

which some people say has a good
chance of becoming more popular than
ping-pong was, says the London

are provided with 2 sort of oblong
tray, the bottom OF which Is formed
by the table on which you play. Placed
across the middle of the court thus
provided is a piece of wood contain

The ordinary rules of tennis are fol-
lowed, but instead Of going over the
net you serve the ball under the cen

send the ball back under any of the
arches and the fun is exciting. 1t Is
series Of pushes, and one Is sur
prised at the amount Of skill which
can be obtained
Dabbit is only one Of several. Per
haps the best Is CASTILLO, game on
an entirely new principle, which Is be-

can be played either on lawn or the

used, while ordinary croquet balls.

game lasting about 20 minutes, and

the players are skillful.
More modest, but equally interest

drive ball through their opponents

quite as much to children as to grown

first is in the end very difficult. -.
Stepping-stones is a game in which
the players have to stop from one

ball on a platter. The results are

Finally, there is three tricks. A lit
tie table is revolved and suddenly
stopped. whereupon the players try
to spike loose tahaets which are num-

had been done. Knowing the resent
ment that bees show when people
knock the top and bottom off their
hives and otherwise manhandle them.
Mr.. Jewett is uncertain just how far
the bees chased the thief before re-
turning home to take stock OF the
damages. Mr.. Jewett's theory is that
the thief knocked the top off going
through the gate. and the bees sailed
forth and began to puncture the ma
rauder, causing him to drop the hive

set up few running records.

had been troubled for four or FIVE
years with very disfiguring eruption
on my face, and Resinol has helped it
so much. MISS OPAL LILLEY,
Camp Creek, w. Va"
Resinol Ointment is the one recog-
nized safe and sure remedy for every
kind of skin trouble, from the common
pimple or scratch to eczema, letter,
shingles, milk-crust, dandruff, psor>
iasis, boils, burns, scalds, carbuncles,
felons and sores. 1t cannot irritate
the most delicate skin. It does not
contain a particle of lead or mercury,
or other poison. 1t is as harmless
and as easy to apply as cold cream.
Resinol Ointment is put up in screw
top opal containers, retailing at fifty
cents and a dollar.
Resinol Soap similarly medicated,
is in many respects the finest toilet
and bath soap possible of production.
1t is delightfully."- refreshing and is
thoroughly antiseptlc. 1t prevents
blackheads, pimples and many other
skin troubles, and for shampooing and
cleansing the scalp there is nothing
better. 1t is especially recommended
for children and infants, for its con-
tinuous use will keep them exempt
| from many of the common skin trou-
bles. 1t is pleasant, refreshing, sooth-
ing and preventive. The Resinol pre-
parations are sold by all druggists and
2ealers in fine toilet articles.
