PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

1t Is reported that Emilio CASTELAR,,
the Spanish patriot, statesman and
scholar, has been invited to deliver the
Grafton at the opening of the Worlds
fair next May. The choice would seem a
good one in every way. He has profound
interest in and extensive knowledge of
republican institutions, and is one of
the most scholarly men of the day.
Great regret is felt in Austria, espe-
cially in Vienna, over the death of DAN
iel Splitter, the novelist, and one of the
brightest writer's of the Vienna press.
His satirical ''Vienna Promenades" first
made him famous in the land of his
birth. He was often compared with
Heine. Among his other works are
''Dr. Herenrecht" and ''Verliabter Wag.
nerianer." Splitter was born in 1885.
Mrs. Abby Morton Diaz has re-
turned to literary work, after many
years of benevolent labor as president
of the Woman's Educational and In

Josiah Quincy, who is so frequent a

share the New Workers. detestation of

never knows whether or not the cut of
his garments is fashionable.
"A story is going the rounds to the

grew up. His success in life has en-
abled him to make the purchase and
also to build one OF the haadsomest

How to pIay Golf.

For centuries past the game OF golf
has been the national pastime in
Scotland. 1t is also very popular in
England and Canada, and Americans
are slowly learning TO WELD the golf
club. Golf grounds are called links,
and are open downs, bordered by rough
country. Three miles Is a popular
length for a golf course, although
some courses are five miles. They
are usually circular, like a race
course, so that several games may be
played at the same time, one set Of
players following another with suf-
cient interval between them so that
they will not conflict.
A small gutta- percha ball and from
three to seven clubs OF different styles
are used by each player. These clubs
are carried by the players caddie, or
attendant, who also otiiciates as ad-
wiser, The necessary clubs are two
wood clubs, the driver and the put
ter, and one iron club, the cleek or
lofter, for work on rough or sandy
soil.
The starting point OF golf course
is called the teeing ground, and Is
designated by two marks across the
course and at right angles with it.
The tee is the slight elevation from
which each side strikes its ball at the
opening OF the game. From nine to
eighteen holes, lined with iron and
four inches across, are sunk in the
course from one hundred to four hun
dred yards apart. Eighteen holes
is the usual number. but nine may be
used IL the course is short one.
These holes are placed in the center
of Il level stretch Of green about
sixty feet sIuare, called the putting
green, and the location Of each hole
is indicated by flag, which is taken
from the hole when the players APP
proach
In golf singles one person plays
against another, in foursomeS two
persons contest against an equal
number OF opponents. the partners
playing alternately. La golf matches
an cxpe t player contests against two
or more opponents.
Goltlng is begun at the teeing
ground, near the first hole, by each
side striking the ball toward the Sec
ond hole. The club alone may be
used in moving the ball, and stroke
after stroke is played by one side
after another until one side puts its
ball in the first hole. The player or
side that puts the ball in with the
least number OF strokes wins the hole.
IL both sides hole their balls with the
same number of strokes, each player is
credited with half the hole. The
players then proceed from hole to
hole until the circuit Of the course is
made. when the side that has won
the most holes is declared the winner.

MORE people witnessed the funeral
pageant Of Mayor Harrison than ever
looked upon such a pageant before.
At the funeral Of Garfield, in Clcve-
land, the people had to be massed
along Euclid avenue. At the funeral
Of General Grant, in New York, the
crowds lined Broadway from the Bat
terry to Riverside Park. At Harri-
sons funeral the crowds filed the
downtown streets, lined Jackson
street for two miles, packed Ashland
avenue for half mile, and then
lined Washington and Randolph for
two miles, and Dearborn street and
avenue for three miles out TO Lincoln
Park.

though the Simmons house was next

a trying circumstance.
For week or two Mrs. Simmons
contented herself with asking slightly

unfortunately reverted TO her time

ANOTHER distinguished scientist Is

problem Of aerial navigation. He is
Prof. Henry A. Hazen, expert mete4
OrolOgist OF the United States,
Weather Bureau. Professor Haze1
proposes first to make a thorough
study Of upper air currents by means
of series Of balloon ascensions. BY
this method he expects to solve the
question whether there are stable
high altitude currents, as Is generally
believed by persons who have studied
the subject. Prof. Hazen's plan for
air transit is not novel, like that Of
his friend, Prof. Langley, secretary OF
the Smithsonian Institution. The lat
ter Is constructing an air craft on
the propeller plan, which is to act
independently Of air currents. Prof.
Hazen expects to drift to Europe in
an air current as reliable as the Gulf
STREAM, using modification OF the
common balloon, with new methods
of gas conservation, and with an air
tight boat in place of the usual

DIR. JOHNSON wisely said. "IIe who
waits to do great deal OF good at
once will never do anything" Life
is made up of little things 1t is but
once in an age that occasion is offered
for a great deed. True greatness
consists in being great in little
things. We should be willing TO do
little good at Il time, and never
wait to do a great deal Of good at once.
Ii we would do much good in the
world, we must be willing TO do good
in little things, little acts, one after
another, speaking word here, Civ.

example at all times; we must do the
first good thing we can, and then the
next, and so keep on doing.

AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHY.
1t Is "A Most Agreeable and Instructive
Pastime.

1t Is "A Most Agreeable and Instructive
Pastime.
Among the most pleasant occupa-
tions of the hour is amateur photog-
raphy. 1t not only combines in
struction and pleasure, but profit as
we'll, and its pursuit is being and
should be encouraged. One great
objection in the past has been that
the apparatus was too expensive and
the arrangements for developing the
pictures too complicated, but the in
PRODUCTION Of the dry plate process
and the reduction Of the cost OF the
apparatus have greatly overcome the
objection. A camera that will do
good work can be purchased for ten
dollars; for it is not the cost of the
apparatus that secures satisfactory
results, but the skill and patience OF
the photographer For common SER
vice the three and one-fourth by four
and one-fourth inch camera Is the
best. The plates are much cheaper
than the larger size, costing forty
five cents per dozen; then the appa-
ratus is far more portable than the
larger cameras. The light outof-
doors being better than in the house,
pictures are simpler taken outside
than indoors, says Farm and Fire
side. Never photograph with the
camera facing the sun-it fogs the
plate. A little experience will show
about the amount OF exposure neces-
sary in the various lights. In the
house quite little ingenuity In ar
ranging the light is necessary, for a
larger exposure is needed. A skylight
is the hest, but when not obtainable
mirrors can be used to reflect the
light on TO the subject and overcome
the shadows. In a fairly lighted
room with quick plate at least four
seconds OF exposure will undoubtedly
be needed. In phOtographing OBJ
jects that are stationary, fine effect
is produced by giving a lengthy ex-
posure, forty minutes to day at
times. Plates must be developed in
a dark room, but for printing the sun
is needed. The best pictures are
produced by exposure in the morning
and afternoon rather than in the
middle OF the day. What is very
much better than for amateurs ID
attempt the making Of it, is to buy
silvcred or sensitized paper from some
photographer. "Ferro- o-prussiate" pa
per after printing only requires wash
ing. The silver should be left all
night in water Procure the aid OF a
photographer TO show these processes
if possible. Use very thick paste
made from starch in mounting, and
while the picture is still wet is the
time to mount it. The negatives may
be preserved by coating them with
good white varnish.

Danger i'm Grapes.

There is probably no more delicious
fruit growing than the grape, and
certainly none more relished by the
majority OF people, but like all
other pleasurable things OF the Sc
ductiye nature, the grape has its
dangers, dan sers often quite rs fatal
as the memorable grape" OF Capt.
Bragg, of military fame. People so
inordiR tely fond OF the fruit should
observe extra caution To never swallow
the seeds. While the pulp OF the
grape is exceedingly nutricious and
healthful, and while even the acid in
the skins may be beneficial, yet the
skins and seeds are totally indigest-
ible. The seeds accommodating in
the intestines often find lodgment
in n blind sack OF the bnwel, known to
medical men as the veriiorm appen-
dix. from which only prompt, skill
full and dangerous operation can re-

the grape season many fatal cases Of
bowel trouble ocur.
Recently woman at Grand Rapids
had what the physicians believed
was cholera Thorough investigation
revealed the fact that her suffering
was caused wholly by grape seed.
A little wisdom, Judgment and
proper caution would relieve the bur-
den OF objection 10 this luscious and
otherwise healthful fruit Children
and hearty, rapid eaters should be
carefully posted regarding this hid
den danger.

REFORM may be carried too far or
IL may be undertaken in spirit or by
methods open TO serious doubt. The
"prOmnent lad. d.es' OF Osceola, Neb..
who, for the greater glory OF God,
organized White Cap band and
flogged certain young women whose
actions were not edifying, seem to
have made mistake. At all events
they are in jail-somc of them be-
cause they can't get out, others be-
cause they refuse to accept liberty on
bail. The unregenerate portion Of
the community will no doubt enter
tain the hope that the pous ladies
may remain in jail for some time.
Salvation by the White Cap route is
not attractive TO the average sinner,
nor even to the religionist who is not
yet sufficiently sanctiiled to appreci-
ate the efficacy OF horsewhipping as
means OF grace. The proceeding
smackS too much of the methods OF
the late Mr.. Torquemada, OF pous
memory and il is TO be hoped that
his OSccola imitatOrs will be brought
to realize that they have made mis-
take, even if it shall be necessary TO
keep them in jail several months to
accomplish that end.

that they should be carefully handled.
This young woman was killed be ause
Of the playfulness Of her brothers.
They seized the foot OF the bed upon
which she was lying and pulled it
suddenly TO startle her. The action
overbalanced the upright portion Of
the bed and the cOntrivance closed
up like q Jackknife, breaking the
