Enthusiastic Statesmen.

Inc ambassadors and ministers who
went from Washington to the Grant me-
mortal exercises in New York "A short time
ago were amazed and delighted at one
feature OF the arrangements made for their
comfort-nCt only We're they carried TO
and from New York in sumptuous spe-
cial train over the Pennsylvania railway,
but such arrangements were made for the
care OF their baggage as they had never be-
fore seen or heard of. Employees of the
company visited their residences i'm Wash.
thgtoh the morning the train was TO leave,
took away their trunks and parcels and
marked upon each piece the name of the
owner and the number of the room he
was to occupy in the hotel at New York.
These same employees accompanied the
baggage to New York, took the stuff across
the ferry, loaded IL into wagons, cart
ed 1t to the hotel and put in the proper
rooms. All this was done so quickly and
correctly that when the diplomats arrived
at their quarters they found their luggage
awaiting them. "It beats anything ever
heard of, " said Sir Julian Pauncefote. the
British ambassador. Other members of
the party were equally enthusiastic.

Offices For Kentucky.

Now that Kentucky has a Republican
senator here the president is expected to
make large number of appointments in
that state During the time that the
legislature of Kentucky was struggling TO
choose "a senator the president declined to
make single appointment in that state.
This applied to local offices, and it also
barred Kentucky Republicans from par
ticipation in the general appointments
within the gift of the administration.
This naturally operated to spur the Re
publican members of the legislature to
action
Among the candidates for office who
have attracted attention here Is colored
man, Cyrus Field Adams of Chicago.
Mr.. Adams Is an editor, and enjoys the
unique distinction among his race of be-
ing the possessor of several handsome
medals won by his ability AS "a teacher of
German and other modern languages.

The Early History OF Golf.

Undoubtedly golf was an established
game for the people at about the middle OF
the fifteenth century, and by the last OF
the sixteenth had become so popular that
Sunday playing disturbed the Edinburgh
city council, just as now, some 400 years
later, it is agitating the constabulary OF
certain provincial districts of the United
States
Nevertheless there are n few generally
recognized epochs of golf which afford
definite links of evidence in the game S
history. We know that James vi, besides
placing heavy tariff on the feather balls
brought from Holland (gutta percha balls
were not used until 1S4S), appointed In
1903 royal club maker and 10 years later
a royal ball maker, and that during james
lis reign forecaddie became an institu'
ton.
Although golf was played in Scotland
at a much earlier period, the honor of the
first club rests with England, where the
Royal Blackheath was organized in 1905
possibly by James W. possibly only as an
outgrowth of that convivial knucklebone
club" The Edinburgh Burgess Golfine
society, with more social than sporting
predilections, dates from 1875, and ST. An
drews, popularity regarded as the alma ma
ter of golf, was founded in 1854, while the
Honorable Company of Edinburgh Golfer:
set up links at Musselburgh in l774.-Cas

The Courts Advice.

There was once u western judge who
was never heard to use the pronoun II

Gle after his appointment to the bench
At times his habit of reference to himself
lent an air of dignity to his speech; at
other times his listeners seemed to be de-
cidedly more impressed with the humor-
Gus side of his addresses than with the
subject matter thereof.
One day young man slightly under
the influence of liquor was brought before
the judge.
"Young mani" said the judge impress

consequence of which it nearly committed
ON one occasion the crime of murder upon

"But the court saw the error OF its
WAYS, reformed and in time was elected

"This court, however, has not the slight

"IN GOD WE TRUST"
Origin of the Legend on Coins OF the
United States.


United States.
Director Preston of the mint has been
asked SO often about the origin of the leg
end on the coins of this country, sin God
We Trust" that he has made statement
of the results of his researches.
So far as the department records show,
the first suggestion for the recognition OF
the deity on the coins of the United States
was made by NJ. r. Watkinson of Ridley
Vile, Pa, who signed himself Minister
of the Gospel, - in letter dated Nov. 10,
1861. He wrote to Secretary Chase some
what as follows: "You are probably
Christian. What if our republic were now
shattered beyond reconstruction? Would
not the antiquaries of succeeding centuries
rightly reason from our past that we were
n heather nation? What / propose is that
instead of the Goddess of Liberty we shall
have next inside the 13 stars ring In
scribed with the words perpetual union;'
within this ring the all seeing eye, crown
ed with a halo; beneath this eye the
American flag, bearing in its field stars
equal to the number of states united In
the folds of the bars the words, God, Lib
| erty, Law This would make beautiful
| coin. to which no possible citizen could
! object. This would relieve us from the ig-
| nominy of heathenism. This would place
us openly under the divine protection we
have personally claimed. From my heart
! have felt our national shame in disown
| ing God as not the least of our present ma
tional disasters. To you first, address 9
subject that must be agitated. ="
! Secretary Chase was impressed with the
suggestion and moved in the matter, sc
that ian act was passed April %, 1864
changing the composition of the ! cent
piece and authorizing the coinage OF the
cent piece, the devices of which were to bt
! fixed by the director of the mint, with the
approval of the secretary of the treasury
and it is upon the 2 cent bronze piece tha
the motto, In God We Trust, first ap
peared." The legend was ordered OF
other coins by subsequent acts, and f1nal
lv. in 1878, it was ordered to be inscribed
on such coins as admit of it.-Chicago In

ABOUT MEMS TRUNKS.
Including Some That Are Put to Inter-
ssting Special Uses.

The American still prefers decidedly to
gee his baggage into as compact form as
possible There are made, however, now
adays mems trunks that are models OF
convenience. They have places for every
thing, place for dress suit and COM
partments for other suits, compartment
for hats and another for shoes, place for
shirts and place for neckwear, a division
for dressing case, and so on. In such
trunk man could carry everything he
might require for wear on either business
or social occasions and in supply sufficient
for trip of some duration.
He would have also number of travel
ing bags of different sizes, a dress suit case
and other trunks, all these for use as they
might be needed. If he went in for hunt
ing, for instance, he would have trunk
to carry his guns and his hunting outfit
but the general fact remains that the aver
age American likes to get his baggage into
the most compact form possible and the
smallest number of pieces.
There are, however, men who do not
thus limit themselves, who, for example,
carry their shirts in IA case especially made
| Cor the purpose. Shirt cases are made OF
| sole leather and to carry one dozen or two
| dozen shirts each. Shirt cases are still q

travelling equipments said that he had
made more shirt cases this year than ever

Some men also carry their boots and
shoes for riding and walking in trunks
made especially for that purpose, with sep
arate compartments for each pair There
are men living in various cities and towns
outside of New York, some of them hun
dreds of miles away, who not only buy
their shirts here but who send them back
here regularly to be laundered. This If

The Strength of Metal.

The breaking strain of metals is some
thing that has interested scientists for
many years and is of peculiar moment to
builders who employ metals in the course
of their work. AS an example OF the
strength of wire, it is stated that there is
in Switzerland a single span of wire cross
ing the lake of Wallenstadt, in the canton
of st. Gall 1t was built by the Swiss
telephone bureau and is the longest un-
supported telegraph wire in the world.
Its ends are anchored to two stone peers
supporting iron towers which are 7,s72
feet apart. The towers are so high that
the wire at its lowest point is III feet
above the surface of the lake. The wire
was made of specially prepared steel and
is only ~ inches in diameter.-New
York Ledger.

Nor do they mispronounce the words beef

GAME AS A LUXURY.
Americans Learning That 1t Has Advan
tages Over other Kinds of Meat.


"In the appreciation of game we have
been more tardy perhaps than in other oil
rections, " writes Ella Morris kretschmai
in The Woman's Home Companion. 1.-The
mechanic, day laborer, the humblest and
poorest in nearly all parts of our land, have
ever had at their command a ducal feast.
Our very riches have made us indifferent
influenced somewhat by the fact that on
all the frontiers as in early times, In
each state game has been of necessity the
chief food 1t has never, therefore, been a
luxury, but travelled Americans, having
come to share in the estimate put upon
wild meats by the epicures of the world.
have so melted good livers at home that
game is at premium in our city markets,
and in rural districts appreciation grows
as the supply lessons.
"An important point not to be forgot
ten is that game has the added advantage
of being the food for jaded appctites and
weakened stomachs. While fully as nour-
ishing, it is more easily digested than 9th
er meats.
ain the cooking of game a few essential
points must ever be borne in mind. First
and chiefly, the natural favors must
not be disguised by spices or other pro-
nounced seasonings. There are sauces
which bring out the game flavor instead
of impairing it, and such only should be
I used. Let the Frenchman have served to

/ that only naturalist or chef could deter
! mine it's character, but let us remember
J that simplicity is the highest art in the
cooking of game. Even the accompanying
vegetables should be selected with a view
to supplementing its flavors, never inter
| fering with them.
1.-The second point to remember Is u
guard against overlooking. All game

GRACE AND HEALTH.
sD0asth and Easy Movements the Secret
of Healthful Activity.

EVERY one, writes Florence Hull
Winterburn in The Woman's Home Com
panion, has had occasion to observe in
himself at one time or another some pecul-
iarly happy performance, an action that
was wrought with smoothness and ease,
that was the result of an unconsciously
fine adjustment of means to an end and
had a delightful finish and completeness.
A feat of this kind, be it the writing of a
poem, the building of bridge or the
making of a perfect bow upon an impor-
tant occasion, gives us happiness. 1t be-
comes "a pleasant memory and enables us
to bear up against the mortifying instances
In which we are awkward and maladroit.
"An inquiry into the reason of our sat
isfactions with these rare performances
would prove that simplicity and directness
had largely to do with their success. we
forgot ourselves, as the phrase is, and acted
under an inspiration that infallibly guild
ed us straight to the desired point without
friction or waste of energy. And this il
the great secret of healthful activity-tC
move smoothly and easily to the point,
avoiding all useless and spasmodic mo-
tions. Just as 1t has been ordained that
we shall find enjoyment in harmonious
economical efforts, it has been ordered that
we shall suffer from jerky, i'll directed
movements that so far from being part
| of our progress impede it and waste botf
our muscular and our nervous force.
"The reason why smooth, gliding mo
| tions are pleasing to us, either in our
| selves or when we witness them in others
| is that they seem to be natural and spon
taneous We like the idea of reserved
power. All appearance of straining ant
| struggling is painful, and our sympath!
with an easy, graceful performance of
difficult feat reaches the point of 9stheti
delight when we look at beautiful dancing
excellent rowing or even observe an exam
pie of perfectly adjusted power in a ma
| chine. Smooth movements, those in hay
mony with plan, being always congenia
to us, and jerkiness always disagreeable
the inference is instant that we can elimi

ing direct and simple in all our move
ments

IN TIE ORCHARD.

The breeze amid the blossoms playing
BY sweets enchanted falls asleep,
While downy clouds go softly straying,
Like drifting isles, the upper deep.
And. lying in the grass, think
How morbid fears and fancies shrink
Before the breath Of May
And how 'twixt walls three times accurst
Full half our cares are born and hurst
To fret our lives away.
The morning winds with viewless fingers
Remove vexation from my brain,
And when they go fragrance fingers
Behind them like sweet refrain.
The golden light sinks in my heart,
And straightway with gush upstart
The tides Of love and JOY.
God never meant this world below
For sorrow-blue skies, fiowers-no,
Nor any base annoy
As MONDAY glow conceals the planet
That beams the while on outer space,
So with Gods love. No eye may scan 1T
Because his blessings hide his face,
And that is why he sends us woe,
That in the darkness we may know,
Undazzled by his smile,
The tender guidance of his hand
And feel the love no faith hath spanned
That loves US all the while.
