all be interested in "The Game of Golf

side OF the water; and old and young will
read with interest and profit the curious
facts about animals embodied in ''Dis-
guises in Animal Life" and soft-shell

Put Your Hnnd Into Hot Metal.

It is more or less true that the naked
hand may be plunged with impunity
into molten metal. NJ. Bouligny, who
made special study of what he called
the "spheroidal" state of bodies, proved
on his own person that it is possible to
plunge the hand into molten metal and
yet sustain no injury. The theory is
this: The hand of the operator having
been carefully moistened with a very
volatile liquid, such as alcohol or ether,
is to be plunged rapidly into the molten
metal; for some cases the natural hu-
midity of the skin may do as well. The
moisture is thrown by its sudden con-
tact with the metal into the spheroidal
state, and there is therefore no actual
contact between the hand and the metal
but thin layer of vapor is interposed
between them.

A Protest from a Summer Visitor.
Tyrant custom is in nothing more
tyrannical than in this matter of the
summer visit, which as now constituted
can be matter of enjoyment only to
lovers and children. for whose benefit 1t
would appear all customs laws are
framed The rational man, let us hope,
will always be truly hospitable. Hewill
delight to welcome under his roof an in
innate friend for adoption into his own
family during an indefinite period. He
will even return this visit cheerfully,
forgetting his small discomforts in the
many compensations of the pleasant in
tercourse it confirms.
But until his whole nature changes
he will never honestly enjoy being bound
over to good behavior for days together,
among comparative strangers, in house
that is not his. OF "all forms, modes,
shows of grief that fashion has In
vented this is surely the most irksome.

printer the other day, well have to go

United States maps fixed up with North

revolution knocked South America end
wise, and now Wyoming and Idaho are
turned into states. Africa has to be
fixed over every six months, and the
latest and most serious change of all is
this German-English arrangement to
knock out Heligoland from the British
Empire. That isn't big change, but it
is plenty big enough to spoil all our
maps of Europe. 1t would almost pay
the mapmakers of the world to chip in
and buy the nasty little island, in order
to make present of it to England, and
save the expense of getting up new maps
of Europe. New York Sun.

why Dinner Was Very Late That Day.

Here is one on Thad Spindle which,
though it happened some time ago, has
not been told: Thad went home one
evening not long ago and found that din
ner was not ready. The groceryman
had not sent his basket of marketing
which he had ordered on his way down
town that morning. The cook had ex-
pected it every minute, and this caused
the delay. In no happy frame Of mind
he went to the grocery some blocks away
and wanted to know why his market
basket had not been sent out home. Re
grets and apologies were ample. 1t
would 90 at once.
Now Thad doesn't mind carrying a
market basket when he Is in good hu-
NOR, but he left still in high dudgeon
and scorned to touch it, leaving it for
them to send. If there is one thing that
he likes better than his dinner it is hunt
ing, so on the way home he stopped to
talk gun to his friend the doctor. He
did not hurry, as he knew the dinner had
to be cooked before it could be served. FL
nally he noticed that there was an exceed
ingly diminutive darky with an exceed
ingly large market basket sitting on the
curbstone just out of earshot from him
and the doctor. The darky looked very
Hike one he had seen in the grocery, and
the market basket looked very like his
own. "What are you doing there?' he
inquired. "W'y," stammered the nod
