Even ns set up on ordinary lawns, with
arches six inches wide, croquet is a name
that, requires iui amount of headword
fully us Kreut a.®, needed to play a k°o<1
genie of billiards. A man who is a very
ordinary shot cun win from one who hits
With great accuracy if it is heudworlc isde
Cidedly superior. Of course, I am talking
How altmit the four bull game; the game
With one ball apiece is to the other what
eu. lire is to whist.
If tlie.se tliingH are true of the game us
ordinarily laid out, they are multiplied in
force many times when the ground is a
perfectly level sanded dirt floor, when the
arches are only one-fourth of an inch
wider than the halls, and when both play
ers are skillful enough to hit an exposed
ball from end to cud of the ground and to
hide their adversary’s ball behind a
Wicket with great accuracy.
The modern croquet ground is made of
dirt rolled as hard as need lie and made as
level as a billiard table. It is sttrronnded
by a slightly raised border, so that halls
do not go out of bounds. To prevent roll
ing the surface is sanded slightly. The
v icketa are set (irmly in a block of wood
planted ten inches deep in the ground,
and are of thick enough wire to resist a
Is avy blow. The bulls ureof hard rubber,
ii 1 ! Inches in diameter. The wickets are
!) I ‘l inches inside measurement. The
mallets may lie of any pattern or sUu that
anils tlie fancy of the player, but the most
approved style is one with a head ten
Indies long, having liurd rubber ends se
emed by a steel baud, and with n handle
about fourteen Indies long and rough
ened so as to secure the grip. The last
of them screw Into the head and arc per
fectly round. The ground is laid out
vi;li two stakes of iron less than an inch
In diameter, two wickets at each end and
two on each Hide, In a lino with % second
arch from the stake and with a double
middle wicket set crosswise. Tills middle
wicket consists of two arches like the rest,
Joined over the top and about fifteen
Indies apart. The ball must tie sent
through both of these at a single shot.
The only w „" to do this, with a fair pros-
pei t of success .In to take a roquet front u
l>;.11 a short distance from the arch and
get in the Jaws of tho flrst of the pair of
wickets and at the next blow go through
them both.
UAItD TO ACCOMPLISH.
To get in position in any other way is
next to Impossible, because if the center
of the ball is as much as a sixteenth of an
Inch to one side of aline drawn directly
through the center of both wickets you
cannot go through without a currom, and
e.'.Tomq in croquet, are mighty uncertain
things for most people to try. Professor
Charles Jacobus, of New Brunswick, can
make tho shot I have described at tlio
center wicket, and ho Introduced it with
great success in last year’s national tour
nament at Norwich. It is now called
after him—the Jacobus shot. A year nr
two before thill, while lie was living ut
Matawnn, he Introduced another earroni,
which has duee been called tho “Mutuwnn
twist." liis adversary’s ball was in tho
“cage,’’ as the double editor wicket is
called, liis own was on the other side of
tli.i corner wicket, almost in the jaws of
it, and directly wired from the ball in (lie
cage and from the oilier balls. Mr. .In
cubus struck the further wire of the cor
ner wicket, carromeil from it, going
through the arch, and hit tin* ball resting
With such apparent security in tho cage.
It Is nol often, however, that, guinci are
Won by such sensational shots. It Is
steady, accurate play and good manoge-
ln 'at that tell in tho lung run.
• 1 hlld olii ii wished for u standard of
r q.arisen between persons who play a
go al ordinary game like myself and ilio
re I experts. 1 made the comparison tho
cuter day, find It came out just as 1 ex
it. .ted. in nine out of ten games tho man
V ’ o is called a "splendid player” by
lii-i v ur’hairy competitors would
l" l;e about two arches playing with .Mr.
.1 "joints, or l)r. Heed, or .Mr, Uutsford, or
«t.v other of tlie "cracks,” and the chiuices
a;' tiiat lie would not get hold of the 1 Kills
nt all during the game. With a week’s
pr ujtiee, and after becoming used to the
ground and the narrow arches, lie might
do belter, and bother ilie expert seriously,
but ho v.'.mid not lit likely to win a single
game tho flrst year.
O'T.IIT TO BK ABLE.
1 r.irthermore, no man hna any business
to .... to play on such a ground who can-
lii ; hit a hall almost Infallibly at a dozen
c. firm feet, and who cannot, after get-
t : a hall to piny on, make the circuit of
t , relies on an ordinary ground once out
of throe or four times at least, lie ought
v.' i lu be able to make the different sorts
of roquets—to send the driven ball a long
cT nice while bis own only moves a few
f . to send the two along together, and
t end his own further than the driven
lull, It is very handy, too, on occusiou,
1 ' .mibio to make a “jump shot"—that
is. to jump over a ball you are "dead” on
a . t hit another one beyond and In line
with it.
According to the rules in force in the
Motional association, a ball is in play as
as it, is placed at the starting point
ready for the flrst tap. it. is usual among
the experts not to attempt the first wicket
oti the first shut—the consequences of
failure would he too serious—but to knock
down to the far corner, where the follow
ing player is not likely lo gel hold of him.
Ti,e great thing, of course, is to get hold
of the balls, send your antagonist's next
ball behind a wicket, and keep your own
bulls well together, making wickets when
you can, and never allowing him to get a
eh.it except from behind a wire.
When the game is played in this way,
It may be finished in ten or fifteen min
utes, hut if l lie players get hold of the
[balls alternately, and make errors once in
u while, as all merely human beings will,
occasionally, the game may last for seven
hours, as one of the games at the tourna
ment did last August.
As yet but very few Indies attempt
Scientific croquet, but there is no reason
why they should not. The short handled
mallets necessitate rather ungraceful
j r,it ions, but Indies need not use short
handled mallets if they prefer grace to
accuracy. But this kind of croquet is
not an “exhibition” game, adapted to the
display of graceful attitudes and pretty
dresses, and meant only to bring people
together in pleasant social relations. No
one can play It who does not love the
game for its own sake, and whose
thoughts are not directed, for the time,
wholly to the business in hand.—W. A.
Platt in New York Mail and Express.
The French War Office.
T he first thing that strikes the English
visitor to the French “Ministers de la
Guerre” is the contrast it presents to the
English war office. The hitter is a little
squat, and dirty double house a dozen yards
back from Pall Mull, resembling in its exte-
rior, both In condition utul construction,
a huge rabbit warren. *The former Is
a magnificent new stone building, with
broad flights of marble steps, filled with
frescoes and paintings, scarlet and gilt
furniture, and suites of imposing reception
rooms leading one into the other through
large mahogany folding doors. Into the
last of these suites I was shown to await
the now famous French minister.
The monfent he entered the room one
saw dearly how mistaken is tho common
conception of his personality. He is a
short man, rather stoutly built, with
brown hair, brown heard, rather a red
face; above all things quiet looking al
most to cotnmonplaceness. His mother
was an Englishwoman, hi3 aunt is living
at, Eewes, and except for the slight point
at his beard he himself vjottlil be taken
for tin Englishman anywhere. He wore
the ordinary French civilian’s dress of
Hindi frock coat and trousers, with only
the Hinglc red spot In his buttonhole.
This, by the way, was also tho dress of
half a dozen generals, who seemed to per
form a sort of special duty by being
present about the “ministere.” In man
ners Gen. Boulanger is not more striking
than in appearance. Hu speaks slowly,
like most soldiers, but without much
gesture, and without much force either of
voice or language.—Pall Mall Gazette.
Shooting Soldier. Already Wounded.
The enemy would not intentionally
shoot a man already wounded, knowing
him to be such. Quite the contrary.
When a fugitive from the enemy’s line
was descried and It was plain that he was
wounded no decent soldier would aim at
him. He might, however, lie wounded
again by one of the random bullets with
which the air was filled. Besides, the
battlefield at times was so obscured by
smoke that it was not easy to tell
whether the isolated figures moving in the
rear of the enemy’s line were wounded or
were mere runaways; and any soldier
would rather shoot a skeuaddler from the
enemy's linu than one who stuck to liis
comrudcs and his colors. It happened,
therefore, that n largo proportion of the
seriously wounded were wounded more
titan once. While limping or crawling to
tlie rear they would, perhaps, have to
cross open or much exposed ground while
on their way. One of the awfulest in
stances of this within the writer’s ex
perience was at Antietnm, where u dead
Confederate was found after tho buttle
hanging head first over a fence at Sunken
Enne, his body swollon by the sun and as
full of Union bullets as if tho lend had
been peppered at him. The poor fellow
probably had first been wounded, and
then, In the act of climbing the fence in
order to escape to tho rear, had been
killed, and while hanging there dead lmd
been shot at repeatedly by different
Eederals, who each on discovering him
for the first time would be unable through
the smoke to see that he was already dead.

Immunity of TlientrfeHl Travelers.
The death of Kate Castloton’s lending
woman In a railroad accident on the plains
is tho first accident of the sort within my
recollection. In spite of the amount of
traveling they do one never hears of
theatrical people being burned up or
smashed up or otherwise visited with the
casualties that give tho accident insurance
companies a reason for existing. I havo
heard now and then—,anti very few anil
fur between the cases have been—of their
being a little bruised or shaken up. but
these accidents have at most been trifling
ones. I have known of smash ups where
passengers in tho same cars havo been
ki'led or woefully n.-.r.ilnteil while theat
rical travelers escaped unscathed, and I
re ! every afternoon on Broadway a lady of
tho stage who wus the only women res
cued alive from tho burning of a Missis
sippi steamer.
In tho present case it railroad accident
wu.i i ie direct cruse of Mrs. Leslie’s death,
mill sir.) seems to havo been 1 ho first actress
to have hud the extreme penalty of travel
levied on her. 1 know tin old actor who
believes the profo don entitles a man to a
charmed life. He bus been through all
sorts of perils, ushoro and afloat, and is
still as sound r. a dollar.—Alfred Trumblo
in New York News.
City Tenants nml Lumllnnls.
The city's statistics chow 175.000 fami
lies in New York hire their rooms from
month to month without permanent lease.
There are several reasons for this condi
tion of affairs. One, (Cic working class
sellout possess means to secure payment
in advance, always demanded in first
class tenements, and the tenant not being
able to afford what is desired in the way
of room or apartments takes only a
monthly lease in hope of doing better in
another four weeks. lienee the constant
trundling about of bag, baggage, wife, mid
babies which some families are subjected
to. Another serious objection lo perma
nent lease is the rapacity of a large por
tion of landlords.. All tilings are prom
ised fair until the tenant signs a lease and
takes possession; then one encroachment
after another upon acknowledged rights
occurs, und demands are made until i ften
a tenant sacrifices a year’s rent rat Iter than
submit to extortion. Half tho litigation
in the city comes from suits arising be
tween tenant and landlord.—Cor. Chicago
Journal.
PugUtHin Aiming tlie Ycinngsti-rs.
A prize fight always has a bad effect on
that part of the community generally
spoken of as “kids.” During tlie past
week there have been a number of fights
between youngsters on their way to and
from school, and the police have several
times broken up rings where juvenile
champions were matched for n “mill.” A
fever as violent as the kitut that comes of
circuses and wild west shows seizes ovtr
tough young citizens every time a pugil
istic contest takes place hereabouts, and
the newspapers for several days afterward
considerably depreciate the value of dime
novel literature. Indeed, they are often
times quite us well informed as older peo
ple In such matters, and tlieir enthusiasm
leads them to imitate the sluggers at the
expense of one another’s noses and dyes.—

ARSENIC.
Some Causes and Effects of the Deadly
Vice.
I’oiiftn Kuliev I’rm tii'eil Among the Peiismits
of Europe—The ElCII'I'I Jbule by the Itevoters of
AmeiiHlc—Other I’oIsoiik I'ueil.
.v is mil generally Known 1.0 vvaai Jill
alarming extent poison eating is practiced
iu this country as well as in Europe, in
some of the districs of lower Austria, and
in Styrin, especially in the mountainous
parts, there prevails the habit of eating
arsenic. The peasantry are particularly
given to it. They obtain it under the
name of heilri, from traveling hucksters
and gatherers of herbs, who, on tlieir
part, procure it from the glass blowers or
from the low doctors or mountebanks.
The arsenic eater lias a twofold aim iu
the dangerous enjoyment, one, of which is
the desire to obtain a fresh, healthy ap
pearance and acquire a certain degree of
embonpoint, itnd on litis account lads and
bu sies in the European countries employ
the agent that they tony become more
I attractive to each other, anil their en-
' denvoi's are attend ■(! with astonishing re
sults, for the poison eaters are, generally
spenkiug. distinguished by a fresh com
plexion, and have the appearance of exu
berant health. Not long since a farm
servant, who was thin and pale, but well
ami healthy, wished to make herself more
attractive to her lover, and in order to
obtain a more pleasing exterior, swal
lowed every week several doses of ar
senic. The desired result was obtained.
In a few months she was quite according
to lu r lover’s taste. In order to increase
the effect site increased the dose of ar
senic, and fell a victim to her vanity. She
was poisoned and died a distressing death.
HEATHS FItO.M AltSEXIC.
The number of deaths in consequence of
tlie immoderate enjoyment of arsenic Is
not inconsiderable, especially among the
young. Whether it arises from fear of
tlie law, which forbids the unauthorized
possession of arsenic, or whether it bo
that an inner voice proclaims to him his
sin, the arsenic eater always conceals as
much possible the rise of it. The Euro
pean peasants say they cat it to make
themselves “better winded”—that is, to
make the respiration easier when ascend
ing the mountains. Whenever they havo
far to go and to mount a considerable
height they take a minute morsel of
arsenic and allow it to gradually dissolve
In the month. They say the effect is sur
prising, and they ascend with ease heights
which otherwise they could climb only
with distress to the chest.
The dose with which the poison eaters
begin consists of rather less than half a
grain, und then the quantity is increased
according to the effect produced. I re-
cently learned of a man of CO years who
at present takes at every dose a piece
about the weight of four grains. For
forty years he tins practiced the luibit,
which he inherited from liis father, and
he, in all probability, will bequeath tlie
same to his children. It is stated that
neither in these nor In other poison enters
is there the least trace of an arsenic
cachexy discernible, and that the symp
toms of a chronic arsenical poisoning
never show themselves in individuals who
adapt tlie dose to their constitution, even
though that dose should be considerable,
but when from inability to obtain the acid
or other cause the perilous indulgence is
stopped, there appear symptoms of illness
which have tlie closest resemblance to
those produced by arsenic poisoning. These
symptoms consist principally in a feeling
of general discomfort, attended by a per
fect indifference to all surrounding per
sons and things, great personal anxiety,
iitid various distressing sensations arising
from the digestive organs, lack of ap
petite. a constant feeling that the stomach
is overloaded in the morning, a burning
from the pylorus to the throat, pains in
Ike stomach and particularly great diffl-
culty in breathing. For nil these -ymp-
toms there is but one remedy—a return
lo the use of arsenic.
OTHEH 1’OISOXS USED.
Pc/taoii eating among the inhabitants of
lower Austria has not grown into a pas
sion, us is the ease with the opium eaters
In the east, the cltewers of the betel nut
in India and Polynesia and of tho coca
leaves among the natives of Peru. When
once commenced, however, it becomes a
necessity. In some districts sublimate of
quicksilver is used in tho same way. An
authenticated case is mentioned by Dr.
Von Tselmdi of a great opium et-.ter at
Brussfi who daily consumed the enormous
quantity of forty grains of corrosive sub
limate with his opium. In the mountain
ous parts of Peru the doctor met very fre
quently with enters of corrosive sub
limate. and the practice in Bolivia, where
this poison is openly sold in the market to
the Indians, is still greater.
Poisons that tire swallowed for the sake
of (lie agreeable sensations they occasion
owe this effect to their notion upon the
nervous system, and the practice must be
kept up by a constantly increasing dose
until the constitution is irremediably in
jured. In the ease of arsenic, so long as
the excitement is nndiminished all is ap
parently well; but the point is nt kuigth
reached when to turn hack or to proceed
ure, alike, death. The moment tlie dose
is diminished or withdrawn entirely then
the victim perishes, because he has shrunk
from killing himself. Arsenic is said by
l)r. Pearson to be ns harmless ns a glass
of wine in the quantity of one-sixteenth
part of a grain, and in the ease of agues
it is so certain-in its effects that the French
directory once issued an edict ordering
tlie surgeons of the Italian army, under
pain of military punishment, to banish
that complaint at two or three days’ notice
from among the vast numbers of soldiers
who were languishing under it in tlie
marshes of Lombardy. It seems that no
poison taken in small and diluted doses is
immediately hurtful, and the same thing
may lie sniff of other agents.—"M. It. 11.”
