CRICKET TORF.
In the Cornhill Magazine, the Rev. Edward Lyttelton asks, What is the matter with cricket today? and goes on to any that the billiard-table wicket in jures the game in its very vitals.
(a) It makes things easy for the bats- pan, difficult for the bowler. Many u shoddy batsman has made a century in his time, not having had through the whole innings a difficult ball to play. Meantime, bowlers not blessed with t awerve are of no use to their side unless they have boundless endurance. When no one can bowl a hard ball, the best bowler is the one who can go on longest. Bowling is a species of treadmill. and 1 can hardly believe that young amateurs will continue to practise it. A publis school is not a prison or anything,
like one, and none of their training will fit the requirements of a treadmill, trodden only by the outsiders who have to make a livelihood.
(b) We remember, as the wickets all over the country became snocther, over hand bowling came in, men discerning that the only chance of keeping down the runs was to make the ball bound high. Besult if by chance there was a rough spot overlooked, death loomed close at Hand
The bowlers next discovered that they must keep the ball un the off-side entirely, so as to stop leg-hitting; and coagionierate the field or the off, with there short slips, etc. Result-horrible monotony many balls being left alone by the batsman and total disappearance of the grandest features of the game-to wit, long-leg hitting long-leg feld- ing and the long on drive with the but
verticul
(d) Not only would balls bever shoot, but they ceased to turn, only a genius now and then being able to effect a break-

Dr. Lyttelton anys that thus man "bas done his best to spoil the fun, and the game is now living on its past. Certai it is that it never would have been in- vented it in its earlier stage perfect beeg like what it is on perfect wickets to-day. But what is to be done! There is only one thing to be done. The pitches should be so treated that, though they would be level, and never dangerous, the grass would restore shout- ers and--quite as important-give a gond chance to an average bowler to make the ball turn. That could be done by careful experiments on different soils. The re- sult aimed at would simply be wickets always a bit difficult, never dangerous. Some of the many experts in grass sure faces who know how to treat the differ- ent greens on a golf course would be able to advise, and if part of the practice ground at Lord's re devoted to the experiments, in Ewo years' time we should be within sight of the goal.
THE OPIUM `HABIT.
VIEWS OF THE MEDICAL PROFESSION IN CHINA."
The International Anti-Opium Society io Peking has forwarded to the League of Nations "A memorial from the Medical Profession in China" in which they say inter alia:-
"We hereby record our opinion that the habitual use of opium, and still more of morphia and heroin, is unnecessary, deleterious and morally degrading; we repudiate entirely the suggestion that the habitual or continual use of these drugs (except when prescribed by phy sicians in ensesinf advanced and painful diseases such as cancer) can ever be any- thing but harmful.
