Tennis 300 Years Old.
Tt may be claimed that lawn tennis
Is nt least three centuries old, having
bepn played In 151H when Queen KUja
both was entertained nt IClvetham, In
Hampshire, by the enrl of Hertford.
Strutt, quoting from Nlehol's "Progress
of Queen Kllzaheth," tells us that
"after dinner, about 8 o'clock, ten of
his Inrdsblii's servant?, nil Somerset
shire nii'ii, In a square green court, be
fore her majesty's window, did bang
up lines, squaring out the form of u
tennis court and making a cross lino
In the middle. In this square they, be
ing stripped of their doublets, played,
live to five, with handball to the great
liking of her highness."

Statesmen Past and Present.
Com pn red with the statesmen of the
eighteenth century we have more
righteous men. Our petty scandals can
never achieve tlrelr unparalleled Ideal
f corruption; our Ihtle llrense Is but
a drop in the ocenn of their lewdness.
Jtut those three-bottle men could rise
to an occasion from their drinking, and
tine Issues touched them finely. Tre
velan's early history of Charles James
Fox spares us nothing of the current
depravity, yet leaves a sense of quality
In public life which Is lacking today.
(Hunts of debauchery those statesmen
often were, but still giants; and vul
garity Is not of glnnts. From Nation,
