General Business Agent


In the absence of the regular
golf editor the following question
from a beginner was referred to
the turf editor for an answer:
"In a game of golf is it right to
fuzzle your put, or it is better to
fetter on the toe ?" The turf edi-
tor set his teeth firmly, stared
hard at the wall in front of him a
few moments, and wrote the fol-
lowing reply: "In case player
snaggles his iron it is permissible
for him to fuzzle his put, but a
better plan would be for him to
drop his guppy into the pringle
and snoodle it out with a niblock."

SCIENTIFIC SCRAPo.

1t would require II, 900 cholera mi
crobes to form procession an inch

The worlds population is snid TO
average 109 women to every 100 men,
while eight-ninths of the sudden
deaths are males.
The light of the glow worm has been
found capable of penetrating black

Experts have come to the conclusion
that what kills trees in London is not
the SCOT flakes or the want of air or
he drought, but sewer gas, which at
,acks the roots SO that the tree soon
withers and dies. In that way row
of trees is an admirable test OF the
lealthfulness of the ground from
which they spring.
1t has been suggested that the re-
cent extraordinary death rate in New
York from heat apoplexy was dne
more to the use of ice and iced drinks
chan to the heat alone. No unusual
leath rate, it is pointed out, was re-
ported from the British African army

theory for the advantage to be gained
by change of air the hereditary IN

tors. A change of climate will have

another. DR.. Robinson points out
that the epoch when our progenltors

MUSICAL AFRICAN WARRIORS.

young warriors, and gave them in

only baggage of one was two sticks,
upon each of which we're threaded
four dry rows of fruit, which rattle.
The youth owning this property has
long hair plated into ropes, which
fall to his neck, and form a screen to
his eyes. He is constantly keeping the
rattle going, and singing (prlncipal-
ly about me) in most fattering man

to singing; he has other use for his
hands, which carry two baskets full OF

up the rattling and singing, and told
me it was what they came for, and that
they would thus entertain me until
we reached Kasembi, four or five days
off. I spoke to them firmly, but
kindly told them their music was ex-
cellent, but must be heard at a dis.

miles away. My musical friends took
the hint good naturedly, but at times
they break out into their boisterous

BOYS BRIGHT IDEA.

A boy who lives on big vegetable
farm just south OF Chicago is born to
be great inventor. There isn't a
doubt of it.
This fall his father had large crop
of tomatoes, covering several acres OF
ground. A few weeks ago they began
to get ripe in large quantities. and Ii
kept several men busy picking them
and packing them into boxes and bas'
kets ready for shipment, says the
Record.
But, unfortunately, there were GER
tain small birds in the neighborhood
that were as we'll pleased with the
tomatoes as was the farmer. And
whenever the mems backs were turned
down would come those birds IN a
perfect swarm and begin TO peck into
the ripe red fruit. If they had con-
tented tn selves with eating up a
few big tomatoes it wouldn't have
made so much difference, but they
pecked into dozens of them, and when
a tomato has so much as one little
hole in it it won't sell. G
All this was very provoking to the
farmer, but our boy found a remedy.
II happened that he has lively little
black dog that was very fond of chas-
ing chickens, and he knew that If he
could be kept in the garden there
wouldn't be any more trouble from
birds. So our boy went out and drove
two stout stakes forty or fifty feet
apart near the tomato bed, and be.
tween them he stretched a stout wire,
on which he had first threaded small
ring. At one stake he placed an empty
box for kennel, and then he tied the
little black dog to the ring. The next
time the swarm of birds came for the
tomatoes that little dog ran out ana
chased them the whole length of his
wire, and he kept right at it until
they didn't dare to come back. Lots
of times he would have liked to run
away to the house, but the wire held
him straight to business.

Not Enough for Two.

Patrick was the captain of brick
schooner that piled between New York
and Haverstraw on the Hudson. One
day his schooner was loaded, ready to
start for New York. But Patrick
never gave the word to the crew to
cast off the hawsers and get under
way. Instead, he sat lazily swinging
his leg over the spokes of the wheel,
smoking his pipe.
The owner of the brick-yard, who
was also the owner of the schooner,
seeing that the vessel had not started,
and wishing to have the load landed
in New York as soon as possible,
rushed down to the dock and irately
demanded OF Patrick why he did not
get under way.
"Shure, yer honor, there's no wind. "
"No wind! Why, what's the mat
ter with you? There's Lawson's
schooner under sail, going down the
river now."
''Yis, I've been er watchin' her, but
it's useless my gettin' under way.
She's got the wind now, and, faith,
there's not enough of it fer two. -

kanir Dentistry.

The method of extracting teeth
among the Kaffirs is babarous IN the
extreme and reminds one OF the 'or-
lures of the dark ages. ses.
The patient is placed on the ground,
md four men are employed to hold
him down, two taking his arms and
.wo his legs. Then the operator
kneels down beside him, and taking q
piece of sharpened ivory, steel or
wood, he calmly proceeds to back
away at the gun until the offending
tooth is loose. He then extracts it
with finger and thumb, the patient
having suffered naturally unspeakabla
agonies.
The time occupied in the operation
is often of long duration, sometimes
extending over as much as thirty
minutes, but, of course, this varies
according to the strength of the
.ooth. Persons in this country VINO
make practice of taking an anesthe-
tic, when having tooth extracted
would probably find the operation as
performed by the Kaffir dentist a
little troublesome, SO say the least OF
it.
OF course, the Kaffirs dwelling in or
aear the towns go to the ordinary
dentists, but those living far away
from civilization have no alternative
but to resort to the methods described
above. e.-London Spectator.

Japanese Wrestlers.

circus-like booth is built of straw
mats, sufficient to hold an audience OF
one or two thousand: criers are sent
round the town, and four or five

as Patagonians, and as big as Daniel

will end by their getting up, turning

dozen times, until one having irri-

spring, and the two are locked to-

THE OTHER FIVE APPEARANO ES
OF JESUS.

In former article we reviewed the
first five appearances of Jesus as re-
corded in the Gospels. We are now
to consider the remaining five. The
first five all occurred on the first day
of the week, that is on our Sunday.
The last one was on Sunday evening
when the disciples, or the now called
"eleven" were all together in one
room, except Thomas. Thomas was
not with them and when told by the
other members of the sacred college
that they had seen Jesus, he stoutly
refused to believe their word, saying,
Except l shall see in his hands the
print of the nails and put my finger
into the print of the nails and thrust
my hand into his side, will not be-
lieve."
On the following Sunday the dis
ciples were all together, Thomas be-
ing with them. They were assembled,
it may be, in the same room. with
closed doors and for the purpose of
worship and to commune of the
wonderful things that happened to
them on the Sunday before. While
thus engaged Jesus suddenly stands
in their midst and gives the usual
salutation: peace be unto you"
Turning to Thomas, he says: "Reach
hither thy finger and behold my
hands, and reach hither thy hand and
thrust it into my side, and be not
faithless but believing" Whereup-
on Thomas exclaims, "My Lord and
my God" Jesus gently rebukes his
tardy faith by saying Thomas, be-
cause thou hast seen me, thou hast
believed; blessed are they that have
not seen and yet have believed.
OF this appearance there is but one
thing to be said,-it was manifested to
the senses. Thomas saw Jesus as we
see men today and this sight caused
him to believe in his resurrection.
The next recorded appearance of
the risen Lord is to the seven dis
ciples by the Sea of Galilee. A de-
tailed account of this interview is
given by John. Peter has returned
to his home in Capernaum and taken
six of the disciples with him. He
proposes that they go fishing, to
which they all agree. They take
boat and toll all night but take moth
ing. In the early morning some one
