BASKET-BALL. IS POPULAR.
Game Has ffereat'y 1-on n rl Macta Fav
or Amine Athlete.
It seems to be the fate of the fair sex
that when anything In the line of sport
or exercise is devised which Is especial
Iy adapted to girls their brothers look
on in amusement and contempt for
while, gradually realize tbe advantages
milted In girls' gymnasiums, ami Its
popularity became grval In the last few
years. Then Ihe college men aud the
other gymnasium fellows who had been
smiling tn a superior sort of masculine
&ay ai the mild pleasures of basket
ball began lo think there might be
something In It and formed experimen
tal teams. Just for the fun of the thing.
That settled it. When men once or
ganise "teams" In anything of a com
petitive nature there Is no end to It.
The team which wins the early coutests
Ibiuks Itself Invincible and ' roams
around looking for "easy" and ambi
tious teams which It may wipe off Ibe
map. The teams which lose are deter
mined they can do better next time and
cannot be induced to quit. The compe
tition thus engendered keeps the game
alive and the spectators of the early
matches, seeing how easy ft looks, form
new teams aud leagues and thimrs and
go out after trophies an4 prizes, aud
there Is no end to it.
. In some reiects the manner of play
ing the game resembles football that
is. Ihe teams line up opposite each other
on tbe floor of the gymnasium witb tbe
ball put Into play in the center of the
hall, the object being to get the ball to
either end. But It d. tiers In that there
are but five players on a side lustcad of
eleven; the ball is a great, balloon-like
affair, almost two feet In diameter.

passed by the hands into a basket hung
at either end of the ball well above the
beads of the players. Such. In brief. Is
the manner of playing the giime which
Is rapidly growing In popularity ami
which bids fair to be the rage for in
door sport within a year or two. The
ball cannot te kicked or carried as
football Is advanced. It must tie tossed
from one player to another and Inter
ference of almost any kind by the oppo
sition Is allowable, although no rough
ness Is tolerated The interference. In
stead of being aimed against the play

his medicine according to instructions, j

became subject to congestion of the
stomach, and considered myself in a
precarious condition. The physician's
medicine and other remedies 1 tried
failed to benelit me. i

Catarrh is a systemic disease curable
only by systemic treatment. A reme- j
dy tbat cures catarrh must aim direct- j

This is what peruna does. Peruna
immediately invigorates the nerve-centers
which give vitality to the mucous
membranes. Then catarrh disappears.
Then catarrh is permanentlv cured.

attempt to disable the players, as In
football, and as there is no running

tbe ball Into the bnsket, and that Is
about all there Is to It.

Biilioiss
You're bilious, got a cold, you have a throbbing sensation in your head, a bad taste in your mouth, your
eyes burn, your skin is yellow with dark rings under your eyes, your lips are parched and you feel ugly and
mean, as if you wanted to kick a lame infant or kill a canaiy bird. Your system is full of bile not properly
passed off. and what you need is a cleaning up inside. Don't continue being a bilious nuisance to yourself
and ttiose who love you, but send out at once for a box of CASCARETS and work off the cold while you sleep.
Be sure you get CASCARETS! Don't let them sell you a fake substitute.
