THE ATTRACTIONS OF GOLr.

An English Authority Says It's a Stunning
Game for Men OF Mature Years.
In one sense golf may be taken as
protest against the 'constitutional'-
that mere aimless walk which is equal
ly distasteful to the active and the in
firm. Like an unfcnced hunting coun-
try, says the London Field. the golf
links offer a fitting area for recreation
to those who are no longer what they
once We're. and who are no longer equal
to holding their own against the more
lightly weighted youth. The hunting
man who has crstwhilc led the way
over the broad pastures of the Shires,
frequently takes refuge. in his maturer
years, in pillow country wherein
hounds run less fast; and eventually.
perhaps, is found hunting on the
Brighton Downs, where, freed from
the overdraft on his nerves at having
to jump fences, his eye for country
may stand him in good stead. To all
of us there comes a time when we must
say with the Latin poet: Il am not
what once was;" and when that mo-
n.cnt arrives we must look out, unless
we would fathom the depths of fogy-
dom, for such amuserlents as may call
for no more vigor than we can con-
veniently put forth. In this particular
golf comes happily to the rescue. 1t
appeals to the man of somewhat lazy
proclivities, as well as to him who is
past his prime, either by reason of the
weight Of years or by having to follow
sedentary occupation. With the ad-
vantages of genial companionship, an
inducement not to loiter by the way,
yet without the necessity to run as
though the last train were about to
start, golf holds place to which
possibly no other amusement can lay
claim; and the number of its devotees
of the class we have mentioned in its
best testimonial.

4 Plan for the Revival Of an Old Custom
Suggested.
In oldcn days, when armies went
forth to battle all in their armor
dressed, the flag they carried in the
forefront of their ranks was worked
and embroidered by the hands of fair
ladies at the court, who thus visibly
signaled to every man who carried
sword or halbert the hopes, sympa-
thies and good wishes of those whose
limbs were unfit for the rough expert
cncc of war. 1t is custom which in
modern days has nearly gone out Of
fashion. Recently, says the London
Telegraph, the Andrea Doria, an Ital-
ian battleship, was presented with
colors worked by the ladies of the city
of Genoa, and the hosting of the sym.
Dol to the mast was made the occasion
OF great rejoicing. A correspondent in
the Queen asks why something of the
same kind should not be done in Eng
land. 1t is believed that no ship Of
the British navy has ever left port car.

by the ladies of England. And yet il
would be difficult to imagine a more
appropriate flag for any vessel,
whether entering into battle, iberat-
ing slaves from terrible cruelty or car

ton to the oppressed than one made
by the hands of women at home. The
correspondent suggests that ladies
should bestir themselves in this direc.
ton and make beginning by present.

THE ARTISTS CORNER.

GREEK sculptors often used eyes of
glass or crystal in the faces of their
statues.
THE oldest existing statue is one of
wood, admirably modelled, colored and
with eyes of crystal. 1t is of a man
named Ra-em-ke, an Egyptian, and
dating from about Il. c. 1000.
THE early representations of Christ
in painting were purposely devoid of
all attraction; in the eighth century
Adrian l. decreed that Christ should
be represented as beautiful as possible.
In the vatican at Rome there is a
marble statue with natural eyelashes,
the only one with this popularity in
the world. 1t represents Ariadne

moment she was deserted by Theseus.

A MINK TRAGEDY.

The Mysterious Close Of the Life Of .
~. Cruel Animal.
J For couple of months / have been
trying to solve the problem of dead
mink found lying in my barn on my
return home. The mink had been dead
but short time, and had no wounds
upon it except at the throat where
two small holes had let out its life
blood. How it came to this end has
troubled me ever since. says a cor
respondent of Forest and Stream
There were no cats in the barn. and
the rats ''instinctively had left it" as
well, during my absence from home.
ut length concluded that two male
minks must have had a quarrel in the
barn and one had become a victim of
the fight.
+ The barn is close to the dam of one
Of my ponds, and had been frequented
by minks in pursuit of the chickens
which sometimes took up a nights
lodging in it. But as they were re-
moved to other quarters the minks
must have had the building all to
themselves. l skinned the body. which
could not have been dead many hours,
and the marks in the throat showed
that only one firm and deadly grip had
been taken. 1t is interesting to know
that these cruel beasts have no bowels
6compassion even for each other.

Curioua Point of PhiloloSv.

It has been found in the case Of
primitive river names in the Old World
that q syllable meaning water occurs
once at least, and in many instances
several times, in the same name. From
this philologists have been able to
trace successive conquests, as each
conquering tribe added his own name
for water or river to the syllables al
ready forming the names of streams
within the conquered district. The
same thing has happened in this coun-
try, as the whites have tackled the
word river to many Indian names al

In the geological gardens at Breslau
recently South American boa con-
strictor contended for q rabbit with a
large python from west Africa. 1t
did not succeed, however, the python
being the stronger of the two, and it
withdrew. About two hours later the
keeper found the same snakes fighting
for another rabbit. AS the keeper
supposed that the boa, which was the
weaker of the two, would again give
up its prey, he left them to themselves
and went home. The next morning he
was horror-stricken to find that the
boa had not let 60 it's hold and had
been swallowed by the python as q
pendant to the rabbit. The boa was
nearly seven feet long and correspond
ingly thick. The python had already
swallowed one rabbit before the one
which proved fatal to the boa. Its
circumference throughout its length
was from twenty-three to twenty eight
inches, and its skin was expanded to
double its size. The supposition that
the snake might, perhaps, not be able
to digest the boa proved false. Diges-
ton only proceeded somewhat more
slowly than usual. =,

An Ocean Travellers Plain

In. most modern ships everything
seems sacrificed to big social halls
smoking and music rooms, huge sa-
looms, etc. The modern sleeping
cabin one can barely swing kitten in.
and, worst of all, there is, in most
ships, not place to put away a thing.
Imagine the discomfort on voyage to
Australia, of having to drag out ones
trunk every time one wants q handker-
chief or change of clothes. The Mes
