 Of his opponents stone lying on the pot lid there may be only an inch or two exposed. His throw may remove it and give the end to his side, or by a false turn it may work such havoc as to make the lead of the other rink still larger. He is ready to throw, and his mates prepare to ''soop 'er up'' if need be. His stone comes roaring down to-. ward the tee head, raising a smoke of granite particles as it brushes against the outlying guards. It makes an in wick of 45 degrees on heavy stone at the left and darts straight for the pot lid. sending the erstwhile winning stone of his opponent spinning out of the house, and the game is won. The cheers Of the crowd follow the old skip as he carries home the winning stone, which he has learned to love. as the Arab loves his favorite horse or the marks man loves his rifle.
 Such Is the game as it is played to- day. Its hold upon the hearts of its devotees cannot be overstated. In t"The Little Minister J. M. Barrie makes use of his devotion to the game in reciting an incident in which a benevolent old physician, bent on an errand of mercy to relieve the needs of an old invalid woman, is drawn aside by a party of curriers', joining in their sport until the encroaching dusk reminds him of his

 of the average Scotchrnan. Certain it is that the successful playing of the game requires a strong arm, a clear eye and a steady nerve, as well as suf-
 dcient intellectual ability to compre-.
 hend at a glance the possibilities in a
 complicated and difficult situation. The standard game of curling is played on a rectangular area of ice called a rink and measuring forty-twos yards in length by ten in breadth. Near the ends of each rink. thirty-eight yards apart are marked two points, called toes, or writer's, around which is drawn a series of concentric cir Ecles like those on a target The inner
 circle about one foot in diameter, is called the pot Hd.'' and the outer cir
 cle, eight feet in diameter, marks the
 limits of the .shouse.'' The intervening circles are useful in determining the comparative proximity Of stones to the tee.
 Halfway between the tees a line Is drawn across the rink to mark a point
 at which sweeping may begin. Seven
 yards in front of each tee lines are also drawn across the rink which are known as hog scores. If a stone delivered to-
 ward either tee fails to pass it's
 hog score it is removed from the ice
 as a hog and not used again until the
 lend" or inning, is finished. Y
 With the rink in readiness for the

game the next requisites are the curl CTS with their curling stones and brooms. The curling stone is a thick granite disk generally about ten inches in diameter, weighing from thirty eight to forty-f pounds, according to the taste of the player. The stone is con cave on the bottom, so that only it's outer rim touches the ice; and is fitted with an iron handle made fast by a bolt running down through the center of the stone. Each player is equipped with two Of these stones some of which are highly polished and very handsome. Each player is also pro- vfded with a broom, which is known in the parlance of the game by it's old Saxon name of bosom. Eight players, four in each of the opposing .rinks,'. or teams, complete the paraphernana and. personnel of the game.
 Each rink is directed by leader, or skip, who stands at the tee head to- ward which the stones are to be thrown first and places his bosom at the point toward which he wishes the stone delivered telling the player in what manner to deliver the stone. The first two players are called the leads They play alternately until their four stones have been placed and are then followed by the seconds. the thirds and finally the slkips. The playing of the sixteen stones toward either tee head constitutes an end. or inning. and there are twenty one ends in game. The rink having the largest score at the

the utmost the generalship of the skips and the skill of the players
 The experienced player masters curves which would do credit to a baseball pitcher. enabling him fre- quently to pass safely an opponents guard and leave his granite disk upon the pot lid, These curves are made by giving the handle of the stone a quick turn to the right or to the left, as the skip may direct. when delivering the stone The plays requiring the great est care and skill are the in-wick and Eout-wick. These plays are made by directing the stones against those all. ready placed and in such manner that they will rebound at an angle which will send them to the point which it is desired to reach. To one familiar with the game of billiards the idea is at once apparent, the same principles of physics being involved.
 Such is the game which the Scots, old and young, never tire of playing. As the game goes on and excitement is aroused over plays of rare skill coats are thrown aside and the peFspiring players work with a will "soopin' Ter up'' at the command of their skip or taking their turn at the throw.

Orthodox Golf Swing z Never Yet Discovered

THERE are thousands of golfers who
 think it interesting to discuss with great deal of analysis the so called orthodox swing. For all Of that, au- thorities have attempted to describe 1t time and again. and when it comes down to points it is about as difficult as the man who knows how and can not illustrate practically.
 E It might be well to consider first the question as to what really represents the orthodox swing, for at the start one forthwith encounters no little di- versfty of opinion. In the minds of some the swing which brings results and has certain degree of grace is the one to be copied. It is agreed that so1idity Of balance combined with freedom of swing makes for perfection in style, but at the same time results are obtained only when the ball is hit squarely- -
 Perhaps this is one of the reasons why psychology is such subject of never ending interest among golfers the problem of overcoming that human equation It is probably the reasoa why golf is not only so absorbing, but 50 tantalizfng- A man who can keep his temper when he misses a couple or three ridiculously easy butts in the course. of a round is one to be emuIat- ed, if not actually envied.

end of a game fs the winner Of the match. The rink whose stone lies nearest to the tee at the close of an end wins the score of that end. The score of an end is determined by the number of stones which the winning rink has succeeded in placing nearer to the tee than the nearest stone belonging to the opposing rink: hence the possible scores range from one to eight, though three at an end is a large score.
 From the object to be attained by. the rink in any end it appears that the purpose of an individual player in throwing his stone may be either to place 1t as near as possible to the tee, to guard an exposed stone lying near the tee or to drive away one of the stones of the opposing rink which is in a favorable position. The first men. ttoned is usually the purpose of the leads, later players being guided by the skip according to circumstances Players who are not engaged in throwing the stones stand ready to obey the injunctionsof the skip to 'soop Ter up.' This command is given when it is apparent to the skip that the glid- ing stone lacks force enough to carry it to it's desired goal. whereupon the players ply their besoms in the track of the roaring stone, clearing the ice between the halfway and the tee of any particles of ice or snow which might impede it's progress.

faxfty in doing his duty to his patient
 In its origin the4game is said to have been played with small stones, driven along the ice with finger and thumb. Later large stones worn smooth by the water of streams. were used, wooden handles being fastened on by which to throw them. Since the beginning of the present century the making of curling stones has been developed as q special craft, and suitable stones may be bought in every city where the game is played.
 The origin of the game, or its native habitat is now lost in the rnists or frosts Of antiquity, and, although it has long been recognized as the national game of Scotland the etymo1ogy of many of the terms still used shows that it must have been prachced on the con tinent of Europe before crossing the North sea to become nationalized among the Scots. who have ever been ready to practice manly athletic out door sports and carry their love for them with them wherever they go.
 The use of such words in the game as bonspiel,s brough, bunker, coIly crampit, rink tozee, skip, etc. indicates a Teutonic or Belgic origin The name curling ttself is evidently derived from 'the German kurzweillen, to play for amusement. But there is no doubt about the nationality of such terms as bauch ice. broom kowe, fore hau, chan neIstane, pouther. souterin, lhin-haun, etc, and the curlers can enjoy their game on a frosty day, even when Gae- lie is used to cheer on the players
 Onlookers at the game hear such re- marks as these:
