Slo Sle cum, Jr., In Outing. Already , attractive imply at a game, it U rendered be imicli Mere te by the addition of tournament play lag that tbe Interest never flags, but rather luuuatm. 'And right here lies tbe greatest AftAfrer of lawn tennli as a means of cxcrcUe for ladle. The average mnle contestant In a tournament b anxious te win, and willing te taert himself te a conridcrnble extent te that ted, bat It appears te be a feature peculiar te a tournament for ladies that each nnd every Wtlclpant b thoroughly Imbued with the idea that she Is destined te win, nnd the vio lence of bcr efforts te avert defeat causes the game te becotne a harmful rather than beneficial exercise. Lawn tennis is a game which, when tee violently played, lieceme n sovcre a strain npen tbe muscles nnd produce ns serious nn effect upon the action of the heart and lungs at any of tbe met exhausting of nthlctie sports a fact which will be nltested by any man who has played lawn tennis ns well ns baseball, football or lacressn. OONCKIININM rQUIPSIKMTS. And new let us consider the equipments which are necessary for the practlce of the game. In the first place, whnt should be the weight and shape of a racquet te Iw used by a woman of ordinary strength! As te sbux, popular opinion lias new united en tbe ene style, which common sense would dictate te be the correct one, a straight bend, Mich as Is old by almost nil dealers. Hut the weight of tbe racquet Is nn Important consideration. Tbe weight te be used by n woman might In some cases boas high ns feui teen ounce, for it is well knew n Hint wme women bnve mere power In their wrUts than the nverage man, and the wilst plays nn Important pert In the wielding of n racquet. It in preliable, however, that uWicerrect weight te be iim.i1 by the woman OMurdhinry strength b from twelve te thirteen and n half ounces, nnd It "may be asserted positively that the i-heuld net use a racquet of less weight than twelve ounces, for the tize and weight of tlie hall are of couree unifenn, mid any rncquct of leu weight than twelve ounces is iucapable of resisting and returning a ball propelled with any great degree of force. Tbe danger of slipping en n smooth turf court and spraining an ankle or n kn.e I.s ke great tliat much enre should be excrclwd in the selection of shoes. It has been found that the ordinary rubber sole will net id ny s prevent dipping, nnd small steel or iron pegi have been used quite commonly by men (lur ing the past year or two. The necessity would appear te be greater In the case of a woman, who labors under the extra disnd van t age of having a skirt dangling about her feet. The uw of the iegs will very often avert a serious ceideiit mid really de no mera Injury te the ttuf than tbe ordinary rubber sole. As te tbe ether Items of dress, It b undoubt edly presumptuous for man te adviui or sug gest TESINIS count, BTATCf ISLAND CIUCKKT CLUI1. There are numerous clubs In the. -vicinity of New Yerk city which offer facilities for the practlce of lawn tennis te ladles. The suburb of New Yerk which does net beast of n lawn tenuis club b Indeed a desolate one. The best known, however, and pretiably the liest con ducted of all these clubs which admit ladies te tbe privilege of their lawn tenuis courts, is tbe Btaten Island Cricket and Ilascba.ll club.

The ladies, whlle owing nlleglance te the parent club and wearing Its colors, nre separately organized In a club of their own, under the tltle of "Ladles Club for Outdoor Bperts."

Neglected orchards, however, will in a few yea is ccase te be of profit, nnd then the owner must resort le laborious und often exicnsive treatment in cITerts te bring these hack te a fruitful condition. The following notes en the treatment of nn old orchard nt the farm of the Kentucky experiment station, together witli seme pertinent suggestions, may be of use te readers who have old orchards iu tlie conditions described: Many of tlie trees were old and full of suckers and dead limbs, tlie trunks were rough, the tops were almost matted with branches, and many of the branches were se low as te prevent proper cultivation. The situation was en a very wet, thin clay soil, which had been seeded te English bluegrass. Se far as known, the orchard had been nn entire fnilure heretofore as te fruit. Sometimes the trees fruited heavily, but the apples drnpitcd prema turely ami were ulways wormy. It was concluded te attempt nn Im provement of this orchard by trimming, fertilizing nnd cultivating, and also by destroying the codling moth witli Lou Leu Lou eon purple. Accordingly nil dead limbs were leineved uud tlie tops of the ttecs trimmed, though net te such au extent as le allow the main branches te be ex posed loe much te the sun. Tobacco stems were placed nreund the trees uud the ground was plowed, anil spaded where the plow could net reach. Tlie trees were sprayed with Louden purple, four ounces te forty gallons of water in n barrel mounted en ncait, whicli was ililven te the windward sidoef (he trees, when 0110 man pumped whlle another held the nozr.le applying the spray, se as te go justnbove tlie tree and fall down en (he leaves and young fruit. As the result it is stated th.it most of the flees iu the orchard bere fruit, and many were leaded down, llut few ap ples dropped prematurely, and but few of these were wormy. Of the apples ou the trees only a few could lie found that liad been attacked by thu codling moth, u Iiilu iu nolghliering orchards it was rare le find a sound apple. The experiment affords unether added (e the many instances ulieady known of tlie beneficial clTcct of spraying with the arson ites as 11 protection against the cod ling moth. Fiem tlie description it would seem that the location was a peer ene for an orchard. Where situations better adapted le fruit cannot lie had, such us tlie ene described would be much im proved by uuderdraiiiing. In general, proper pi lining, stirring the soil and mamiiing will renovate au etchard that Is net tee old te be improved iu Hint way, and nt present it leeks as though spray ing te save tlie fruit after it lias formed will have te beceme mero nnd mere com mon. Net only is it eiTective against the codling moth, but it is nt tlie same tlme equally se en all leaf eating insects. A geed way of renewing the boil in old orchards where manure, cannot lie had is te sew poes, and when these ure about ready te bloom plow them under. l 31. Augur's, ene of Connecticut's foremost poinelogists, atlvice en restoring npple orchards is: "Modcrate pruning, careful nnd shallow culture and dressing with well retted btable manure, finely ground bone, ashes and lime, nt intervals, or ap ply a full ration of special fiuit fertilizer, after whicli sew red clever and plow un der, always licing caieful te indict the least possible injury te the roots.''
