Golf and Fish Story.
Some time ago a northern golfer
drove a bull a fine, low, Fklmmlng
shot across a river. Just as the ball
was nearly over a salmon leaped at
the ball and caught It In its mouth.
Such was the pace of the ball that it
carried the salmon on to the river's
bank, where it was Immediately se
cured, with the ball tightly wedged In
Its teeth. Golf Illustrated.
Environment.
The secret Is to be found not In the
criminal type of man, nor yet alto
gether In heredity, but In environ
ment. The place to make the en
vironment, which is to protect the
young man from many temptations
and help him to reslHt those that he
may not escape, is in the home. Rev.
"W. II. Locke. Methodist, Mansfield. O.
Indifferentlsm.
What Is most striking In the pres
ent aspect of the controversy over
human Immortality Is the average
man's absolute want of Interest In the !
question. People shrug their shoul- j
ders and turn to their newspaper or
their business at the mention or !
thought of an after-life. Dr. Mo Co nib
In the Quarterly Review.
Japanese Small Trees.
Our Indebtedness to Japan Is aug
mented by the remarkable chestnut
that halls from there. It is more
dwarf than our native species, and
bears abundantly when only a few
years old. Aside from its usefulness
as a nut tree. It Is quite ornamental,
and should be mote generally planted.
Home Magazine.
Out for the News.
"I'm going down to get my hair
washed to-morrow," said the demure
loo'. Inc woman on the car. "it doesn't
reali '.eed it, but honestly, I haven't
heard any news for a week. I Just
made up my mind to-day that I'd go
down and hear what's going on unions
people." Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Too Busy to Love.
In England people are too busy to
love. A man jaded to death by 40
letters and 15 telegrams a day can
not In the evening indulge In the ex
citement of either a heart-shaking
tragedy or the passion of an all-absorbing
love. So he flirts. Dr. Reich,
la London Tattler.
Waa the Best Man.
In Eldorado a bridegroom cave his i
best man an envelope containing a!
twenty-dollar bill to be given to the
clergyman after the ceremony. Thfl
best man is found to have given the!
preacher an envelope containing a
one-dollar bill. Kansus City Star.
Paragon-Making Golf.
Oolf cannot be played really well
unless the temper Is schooled to such
a degree that misfortune, accident
and a general run of defective play
never lead to passion overflowing the,
limits of decorous und retained equa-'

Burning His Savings.
The Hook keeper The boss seems
pleased with himself this morning.'
The Office Hoy He's been saving all
his burnt matches for a year, and this
morning he had enough for me to

Discolored Brass. j
Where brasses are much discolored
an application of a solution of salt
and vinegar Is advisable before using
the customary brass polish, as the
work of polishing is much more quick
ly performed.
One Legged Racers.
A comical foot race was recently
witnessed in Paris. Nineteen men,
each with a wooden leg, were the con
testants. The winner ran a mile la 12
minutes.
Quite So.
Sweet nothings, In the bands of a
competent lawyer, may be trans

Shakespeare Insipid.
Pepy's IHary. It'.fi9-lfiti9, comment
ing on Shakespeare's plays, says of
"Midsummer Night's Dream:" "It is
the most Insipid, ridiculous play I ever
saw In my life;" and upon reading
"Othello, the Moor of Venice, which
I have hitherto esteemed a mighty
good play; but having lately read the
'Adventures of Five Hours,' it seems a
mean thing."
The Hot Water Cure.
The virtues of the hot water appli
cation are recognized to such an ex
tent that hot-water bugs are made in
a great variety of shapes and sizes.
The latest designs are made to fit
around the Joints such as the knee,
ankle and elbow. They are very ef
fective In the treament of myalgia,
arthritis, rheumatism and similar af
fections. Palace to House Club.
The Tudor palace at Knfleld, Kng
land, which was a gift from Kdward
VI. to Princess, afterward Queen Eliz
abeth, Is to become a Conservative
club. I'ntil recently It was used as a
post olflce. The Tudor rose, the royal
monogram and the ancient coat-of-arms
are still conspicuous lu the
mural decorations.
A Terrible Remedy.
I can only think of one method by
which nurses can guard against imi
tations of their professional costume.
It is that they should adopt one that
Is ugly or at least dowdy and that
remedy would, I expect, be regarded
by most of the nurses as worse than
the evil It was designed to cure.
Truth.
"Idiot."
The alteration in the meaning of
the word "Idiot" Is peculiar. Original
ly this word meant only a man in
private life as distinguished from one
who was concerned in public affairs.
In time the word degenerated, until
It came to mean one who was defec
tive in mental powers. Sunday Muga
zloo. Believe In Wandering Jew.
The belief In the Wandering Jew
la still held In France among the
peasantry of Itrittany and Picardy.
When a violent windstorm comes on
they make the sign of the cross as
they say "The Wandering Jew is pass
ing by!" ("C'est le Juif errant qui
passe!")
Rewards of Virtue.
Kvery virtue gives its equal degree
of felicity In some kind; honesty gives
a good report; justice, estimation;
prudence, respect; courtesy and liber
ality, affection; temperance gives
health; fortltu le a quiet mind, not to
be moved by any adversity. WuUing
lium. Potato Drove Bull Mad.
A potato lodged In the throat of a
bull at Datehworth, near Hitcliin,
Kugland, recently, and drove It mail.
Four men who tried to secure It were
tossed. One of them bad two ribs
broken, and the head of another was
badly injured.
Jerusalem's Via Dolorosa.
It is only too years since the name
of Via Itolorosa was given to the nar
row lane down which Christ passed
from the judgment hall of Pilate to
Calvary. At this time also the sacred
stations first were marked out for
pilgrims.
Marital Fallings-Out.
The wife who praises all her clever
husband doc-i, soon becomes his worst
enemy. The husband who loses that
amount of appreciation of his wife's
ability that touches high-water murk,
loses all discrimination, says the Pil
grim. Continual harmony makes life
monotonous. The woman who always
reiterates, "I don't know, dear," and
the man who constantly answers,
"Just as you say, dirllng," are the
most luuddcnluK of mortala.
Aspiration and Possession.
Aspiration sees only one side of
every question; possession many.

When ponce dwells in my breast
Then sleep comes ta my eyes.

Of angels robed in white,
Of Jesus and his love;
Then my heart is tided with delight.
