Columbus, O., Sept. 30.—The an- nual seision of the State Board of Health in this city last week brought to light the existence of a peculiar disease. James Leeley, a farmer about six months ago noticed a small sore coming on his chest. It became - more serious in spite of treatmeneand in a few weeks assumed a maglignant • form and began eating away the bones of his nose. Local physicians pronounce it glanders and said he had caught the disease from 'a horse, that the disease was fatal and very contag- lime. The effect of this was to com- pletely ostracize Lesley, even his own kinsfolk deserting him.. No leper in olden times was so completely cast out. So fearful of contagion are the neighbors that Lesley cannot dispose — of hishouse, though willing to sell at half price. Lesley has thus been driVen o appeal to the Board of • Health, Tor an opi n ion that wi I he hapes;Tierailifelhe rears intertaned by his neighbors. The board has sent an agent to investigate the case. • The other day, in a etreet car, an ale - sent -minded college boy, eighteen years old, was sitting on his chum's lap.

I heard of a case a feW days ago When this new invention was tried with perfect success. The horse's teeth were pulled one by one, and in the •cavity left open a new tooth was inserted. It was literally cemented in and although the gums were sore for a week they finally bards ened and now give the animal no *tittle.

From a healthful diversion requiring very little skill it evolved itself into a "scientific game." It reached this point in New England in 1880, • and at once took rank as a -game, worthy of the finest fibered brain on the At- lantic coast. Uneven lawns were made into perfectly level, smooth and sanded courts, with a boundary boarel which 'sheet -ad the rolling of the balls just at the edge of the field of play. The uileven wooden Walls and long handled Mallets were suCceeded by spheres of ' hard rubber and mallets with Ebert handles and rubber tipped heads. The_wide arehee_which.... -had-stood on the grassy lawns disappeared, and were replaced by wickets so narrow that the balls could just be driven through with the ineerest little bit of room to spare. Then the thing called good playing was to be seen. Croquet played on the "scientific" basis de- pends for its interese.on the .exercise of skill alone, nor does it need great physical ex- ertion. This fact keeps it popular with the el- derly and the lazy or a younger generation. • A croquet -court should be 80 feet long. by 45 feet wide.
