PLAYING THE GAME OF QUOITsI

1T was a hack lot and there were play
ers and spectators The players were
l only two, but the gallery was large
The game. of course, was not base ball.
It was a game nothing like so new. Inc
n,.vers were earnest and intent and
the Iookers-on were interested but quiet
Their nerves and emotions We're not De
ing wrought up to any state OF ecstasy
frenzy or delirium by hairbreadth runs
and catches or by close decisions
Perhaps it was not quiet enough W
hear a pin drop but you could hear
horseshoe fall, and. as matter OF fact'
horseshoes were falling, clanking on each
other, sometimes ringing the hob,
which was an iron stake in the ground.
and sometimes falling in the END.
which was a large circle drawn in the
earth around the hob"
For. as you have already guessed, the
players were pitching horseshoes. They
were playing the game of quoits without
the regulation quoits, but playing it as
it has been played for centuries all over
the English-speaking world, even In
Scotland. This game may be descended
from ancient discus throwing, and many
enthusiastic quoiters believe that their
game had this classic origin, and VIII
tell you that the statue by Myron OF the
discus thrower copies and pictures of
which you have seen really represents
a Greek youth playing at quoits when
that game was young, and when IL rep
resented strength in hurting rather than
skill in putting.
These enthusiastic quoiters may also
tell you that Status, in his description OF
the game Of the discus, or throwing the
disc, was really the earliest biographer
of quoits. There are points of similarity
between the discus and the quoit.
Ouoits came to the American colonies
with the first of the hardy pioneers from
the rural regions of England, especially
from the borderland of England ana
Scotland. Most probably IT was played
in the main street OF jamestown, on
Kent Island, at st. Marys City. at Port
Tobacco, at Dumfries and at Piscataway.
Citizens of Washington whose memories
reach back to the early sixties Will re-
call that there was 1nternatlonal rivai.y
game, and they can remember the public
interest In the contests between Billy
Hodson, the champion OF all England
and Jimmy McLaren, who was the cham-
pion of the United States. McLaren was
a resident of Newark, N. j.. but by birth
was a Scotchman, and usually Scotch
man by birth remains scotchman un-
til death. The born Scotchman has traits
from which he never recovers. or course.
they are good traits-plenty of thrift.
tendency toward hard work and a capac-
ity for plain food.
But, anyhow, Jimmy McLaren repre-
sented the Stars and Stripes at quoits
and did honor to his adopted country-the
country which he adopted. Each OF
those gentlemen won one game. but the
rubber. for a cause which the writer
does not now recall. was not played.
The men were quite evenly balanced In
skill, and the proportion OF times they
could ring tho hob" was remarkable.

TJMAN life may be sustained with
IN out salt. though a contrary opin-
ion is almost universally held. l.
is a question whether a man. all his hfe
accustomed to the use of salt, and whose
ancestors for unnumbered generations
have been salt fed. or salt seasoned.
could live comfortably II his salt ration
were permanently denied him. 1t Is
most likely that the withdrawal of the
salt component of his diet would inilict
on him hardship.
1t was announced as one of the results
of Joseph Knowles adventure In the Will
derness without the aid of the customary
human devices that the adventurer had
no salt for two months and that he
missed only its SAVIOR He is said to have
reported that his meat did not taste
quite so pleasant without it, but he had
found that he, like forest beasts, could
get along without salt
Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the arctic ex-
plorer. has reported that he not only
found 1t possible to get along without
salt, but suffered no particular discom-
fort. In fact, on his return from the
north regions he knocked salt. saying.
like a narcotic poison. it is hard 10

the use Of tobacco; but after you have

abstinence have found the taste of meat

-
Many arctic returning travellers have
given their testimony that the Eskimos.
who have had little contact with whites,
do not like salt and will not eat food
x,ySth q Cfof
has written that the blonde Eskimos he
endure the taste OF salt. When the ma
tive visitors invited themselves to par
take too freely of his food he found 1t
necessary only to put on a little pinch
of salt. Food with salt on it was not
palatable to them.
Salt Is used by those persons addicted
to 1t, not as food. but to give SAVIOR to
food. Some persons assume to require
some men affect more pepper. more mus
tard, more vinegar or more sugar than
others. Putting a pinch of salt on your
egg does not enhance the food value Of
the egg. but only its palatability to you.
At this point enters the confusing prob
lem of nutrition and palatability. There
is close relation between the eye. palate,
mind, imagination digestion and assinila-
ton.
Salt began it's service to man as a lux
ury. and it Is probable that man of a re-
mote age did not know of 1t. When salt
was a luxury the world was relatively
young From its place as a luxury it
came to be accounted as a necessity.
This Is the story Of many other forms Of
food, a notable example of this being
sugar.
Salt has many superstitions associat-
ed with it, One of these is that the
taste of salt is unendurable to wizards
and witches. for it was believed that
the "devii abhors salt as the emblem
of Immortality" and witches would
have no more to do with it than they
would with the rowan tree. The people
