Serving in Tennis.

In serving, it is most important to
acquire speed and accuracy in plac-
ing. Variety in the use of these es.
sentials is also necessary. If your
adversary excels in cross-court shots,
serve down the middle line as near
the corner as possible-if he has a
deadly backhand stroke, give him
balls on his forehand, and vary your
game, but not always striving for a
hard ball. 1t is much more important
to serve your second ball reasonably
hard than to try for a very severe
first ball. which rarely goes in, and
then ~fearfully serve an exceedingly
easy second one, which is generally
placed out Of your reach. II you do
not dare serve a hard second ball, at
least serve a long one which ia fairly
difficult to handle, and in this, as in
all other departments Of the game,
learn to cover your strokes as far as
possible, so that it Is difficult for
your opponent to foretell just what
your intentions are.-E. Willis Scott,
in August St. Nicholas.

HOPS FOR PILLOW FILLING
mends Them for Their Efficiency
as Sleep Inducer and Beautifier.

A man who suffered from sleepless
ness picked up in Austria recently
what seemed to him to be the best
remedy he had ever found. 1t was
nothing more or less than a pillow
stuffed with hops. An Austrian peas
ant woman recommended it not alone
as u sleep producer but as a beaut1.
fer as well.
returning to this country the mar
bought some New York hops, IA
o for their beer making qualities.
but to his surprise they did not work
as well as the hops he had tried
abroad. He found out by experiment
that hops that made good beer didn't
necessarily produce good sleep.
After he had sampled a lot of differ.
ent kinds of hops he found that by
mixing hops grown in Bohemia with
hops grown In California and Oregon
ne got a combination which seemed
to answer all purposes In the sleep
producing line.
He decided that he had hit 1t right
when he took a couple Of pillows he
had stuffed with this combination in
his office downtown home with him on
the elevated. He got in at Rector
street carrying the pillow and sat in
one CT the double seats. Two men
and a messenger boy sat with him.

In profound slumber. Several other
persons who had been reading news
papers near him were in evident dis.
tress in their efforts to keep awake.
Inquiry at different drug stores
seemed to indicate that the hop pillow
Idea was a new one, though hops have
long been known to have sleep induc-
Ing qualities, as shown particularly in
he a of beer. According to those
who have tried hop pillows, you get
all the soporific qualities of the hops
this way without breaking any tenn
perance pledges or suffering any
harmful effects.

Water-Elephanta.

Tho existence Of a hitherto un.

recently been discovered. No speci-
men OF this animal has as yet been
brought to Europe, nor has its skele-
ton come into the hands of scientists.
and not SO much as a photograph Of it
is known to exist. M. LIE Petit, an
explorer, came across five on the
hanks Of a lake in the Upper Congo.
As soon as he approached they dived
into the water and swan off, leaving
only their trunks above the water.
They are, he says. about six and a
half feet high, with long necks, short
ears, and short trunks. Judging from
their tracks, their feet differ con-
siderably from those of the ordinary
elephant:
