Physicians are sorry that tho game is declining in favor in France says tho New York Hun. Somebody has discovered that people in France are not playing billiards so much as they did formerly. Over this anncuncement has arisen a lamentation. Physicians have joined in it, as well as lay admirers of the game. They declare that its disappearance would be a misfortune from a sanitary point of view.

The game, they say, gives just tho exercise they need to a great number of peopie who without it would take no exercise at all. While involving no severe physical exertion, it keeps tho muscles in shape, stimulates tho circulation, helps the digestion and requires just enough mental effort to give the nervous system a rest from the ordinary worries of life. In proof of all of which they cite thw good spirits usually exhibited about a billiard table. For elderly people, for tho stout who cannot take much exercise, billiards is pronounced an excellent tonic. So the friends of the game are preaching a revival of its popularity.
