All Was Not Well.

On board naval vessels marines are
stationed as sentries on various parts
of the upper deck. During the night
they are obliged, every half-hour,
when the ships bell is struck, to call
out the name Of their station, and
then add the words, r"Alls well.'
Some years ago the flagship Brook
lyn was at anchor, one stormy win
ter's night, in Hampton Roads, Va.
On the topgallant forecastle Of the
frigate was stationed a German mar
inc, whose familiarity with the Eng
lish language was none too generous.
For a long time he paced to and fro
on the snow-colored platform, while
the gale flung the big, white flakes
against his face, and the bitter cold
numbed the fingers that held the mus
ket.s ..
At last the sentry stood his rifle
against the stay, in order to beat his
fingers and arms into warmth, and
while, engaged in that exercise the
ship gave a lurch, the rifle slipped and
pitched overheard. Frightened, and
not knowing exactly how 10 report his
loss, the poor fellow waited until the
ships bell sounded and it came his
turn to report concerning his station.
AS the officer of the deck listened to
catch the hail, a troubled voice foated
out Of the darkness forward:

Why Golf Is PODuIur.

'"There are now 200 golf clubs in
the United States" said a golf enthu-
siast yesterday, land there are almost
two dozen within as many miles Of
New York. Golf has come to stay, be-
cause it is the best game ever invent
ed. 1t does not require two elevens or
two mines, it does not necessitate VIC
lent exercise, it does afford play for
brain as we'll as the body, and two
men can play it; indeed, one man can
play it by himself, either with his own
ball against a previous record, or with
two balls, one against the other.
Played for centuries in Scotland, it
has been in allegiance elsewhere, be-
cause only in Scotland have the play
grounds been kept up. The grounds
are not trihes in considering the cost
Of arranging for the game. One club
near New York has bought $50 acres
of land and has spent $4,000 upon
the land and the club house. But even
very poor land will do, and the cost,
divided among all the members Of a
club, is very small, after all-New

Archduchess Marie Ahnunziata.

The Archduchess Marie Annunziata
of Austria, on assuming the office Of
abbess, receives a trousseau like that
of bride. The gala toilets are in the
tenderest colors. She drives to church
in carriage with six pairs Of horses;
her mother follows in a carriage and
four. The toilet of the archduchess
for the ceremony is black silk dress
with a long train and a black mantle
trimmed with ermine. Across her bo-
som she wears a gold-edged white
MORE ribbon, to which is attached
gold medal bearing on one side the
image of the Imma culate Virgin, and
on the other the initials Of the founder
of the order The ring, ducal crown
and crozier will be handed to the new
abbess. The crozier is %lded and
richly set with diamonds. In the year
1909 it was given by the Hungarian
Queen Jutta to Wenzel, King of b.

4 Next came jockey race, in which a.

There were sack-races and creased

Now came singular contest-an.
eating-match. Two dozen little Ma
lay, Killing, Chinese and Tamil boys:
were seated at regular intervals about
an open circle by one Of the governors:
aides. Not one could touch the others;
in any way. Each had q hard, dry
ship-biscuit before him
At the firing of pistol, two dozen
pairs Of little brown fists went pit-a-
pat on tho two dozen hard biscuits.
and in an instant the circular crackers
were broken into mass of powdered
pieces. ...
Then commenced the difficult task
OF forcing the powdered pulp down
the little throats Both hands we're
called into full play during the opera
ton, one for crowiing in, and the 9th

ting the stomach and throat. Each
little competitor would slyly rub into
the warm earth, or hide away into the
folds Of his many-colored sarong, as
much as possible, or, when rival was
looking the other way, would snap a
gcOd-siZed piece across the lawn to q
spot within his reach.
The little brown fellow who won the
50-cent piece by finishing his biscuit
first simply put into his mouth a GER
tain quantity Of the crushed biscuit.
and. with little or no maSticatioD,
pushed the whole mass down his
throat by sheer force.
The minute the contest was decided
all the participants. and many other
boys, rushed to great tub of mOlaS-
ses to duck for half-dollars. One after
another, their heads would disappear
into the sticky, binding mass, as they

powers were exhausted they would
suddenly pull out their heads, reeking

touched, the boys ran on. amid ShriekS

Jury Wanted Ice Cream,

tits related that a Cold Spring Har-

court to take a recess while the jury
men INDUCED in ice cream. The court
declined to do so. While the jury was
out considering the evidence they or
dered the ice cream and kept the
court waiting until they had eaten it.
It is said that the jury insisted that
the cost of the cream should be added

cannot bulge a jury that is judge of

EARRINGS to BE Revived.

1t is rumored that the use of ear
rings is to be revived. and as these
ornaments have frequently been given.
as wedding presents in fashionable cir
cles lately, I am afraid it is likely to-
be true. l noticed that the Duke and
Duchess of York presented brooch
and earrings to Lady Eva Grey;lle.
l do sincerely hope that women of
to-day will not often be found willing
to revert to a fashion which is but Il
remnant of barbarism, and that they
will not spoil the natural beauty of
their ears for the sake of sticking Jew
elsNin them. If once the fashion Of ear
rings should become general again it
will only be a matter of time before
the reintroduction Of those hideously
vulgar-looking, long anpendages, which
distorted so many pretty ears in the
past. Before any of our readers has:
her ears pierced I hope she will con-.
slider that the fashion may be very
transitory, and that even if the rings,
are not worn the mark very seldom
disappears; moreover, any weight at
tached to the lobe of the ear is likely
to drag it down and spoil it's proper
shape.-HoEae Notes.

Sairy heard more news in the short

small amount, she crept stealthily into

She peered into the depths of the
bowl; something cleaned and 'glisten-

Walking softly into the darkened
kitchen she sat down in the darkest
