Women Make Good Golfers.

When the men of America were first
initiated into the mysteries of "bras-
sizes, "clecks" and "putters," they
were rather inclined to be skeptical
when the subject of women playing was
preached. Now all is changed, and
some of these same men have been
known to barely escape most mortify-
ing defeat at the hands of some fair
golfer. The conversion of some not over
energetic women to the joys of golf has
not been entirely easy to accomplish,
but let the doubter once experience the
Joy of seeing her well hit ball spinning

A salvationist's Happy Reply.

He was a member of the Salvation
Army, and he was having hard time
of it as he laboriously plugged up the
grade on the avenue in front of the
Badger Wheelmen's clubhouse. Several
of the local racing contingent were out
when this sedate young man with the
red band on his hat came along, and in
an instant he was made the target for a
number of unworthy gibes until finally
he stopped and began to argue

Another One Wheeled sulkx.

Mr.. Thomas Gardner Coleman of
Louisville spent several years planning
one wheeled sulky. He completed the
plan last January and at once applied
for patent letters. His latest letter from
Washington makes him expect the pa
pers soon. Mr.. Coleman claims, in the
first place, that his invention antedates
others and, best of all, that it is superior
to them.
The inventor himself is in Texas. His
father said that his sons invention had
been inspected by leading horsemen and
was pronounced perfect. Already an
offer of $40, 900 for rights in the state
of Texas has been received. He exhibit

ATHLETICS AT COLLEGE.
Scholarship and Sports Are In No Way

The stand reported to have been tax
en- by the faculty of Yale university
against permitting undergraduates to
engage in athletic contests when they
are fiehind in their studies will be APP
proved by every one who wishes to see
amateur athletics kept clean and pure.
1t is a rule made by the University of
Pennsy lvania and other colleges, and it
should be general
Every intelligent observer of college
athletics has regretted the tendency to
subordinate scholarship to success in in
tercollegiate games. The practice has
not been universal, for many of the best
athletes on college teams have stood
among the best scholars in their class.
There has been enough of it, however,
to exert harmful influence i'll college
life. When desirable member of the
baseball or football team was allowed
to slip easily through college in return
for the honor, he brought to it on the
athletic field other students naturally
concluded that diligence in study was
not necessary to success in life. In this
way the high ideals with which many
young men entered college were lowered.
if not lost altogether. A demoralizing
atmosphere was produced and wrong
ways of thinking were fostered among
young men at the most susceptible Pc
Rod of their lives.
1t is an honor to represent college
or university on the athletic field, and
it should be accorded to no one who
does not show diligence in study as we'll
as physical prowess. There is no pur-
pose in this to put check OH athletics,
which have done so much to develop
the physical capacity of the American
college student during the past ten
years. The rule will do much to encour-
age instead of discouraging amateur
sports, for the scholars will not see
themselves overshadowed by the strut
ting athlete who has nothing but his
physical prowess to recommend him. If
Yale university takes and adheres to the
position that scholarship must go along
with athletics, IA long step will be made
toward clean amateur sports. -Phila-

of the Guards. He walked along the

sentry duty and many people crowd
near you?" 81 should ask them to

contains a well-knOwn narcotic prin-

stimulant, will do good to the depress-

PAIRING Hoofa of Sheen.

When kept in warm stables, with
their feet resting In strawy manure
kept damp with their urine, sleeps
hoofs will often grow too long. 1t is
the condition under which foot or hoof
rot usually occurs. Sheep need dry
land to Craze on, and all the better if it
is stony Or rocky, giving opportunity
for the sheep to knock off pieces Of
their hoofs and keep them Of proper
length. When pastured on low ground,
sleeps hoofs should be occasionally
pared, and little blue vitriol put on
to prevent disease, should any germs of
the rot be present. 1t is a good time
to examine the sleeps hoofs before
they are turned out to pasture.

The Longest Railroad Bridge.

world is that recently completed at
Czernoyoda, Roumania. It crosses
the Danube and thus shortens the
railroad journey from London to Con-
stantinople about sixteen hours. The
length of this structure is 13, 325 feet,
or a good two miles and half. There
is one span, in the middle of the river,
$40 feet long, and four more each hav-
ing q length of 445 feet. The other
spans are still shorter. The chief
rivals of this structure are the Tay
bridge, in Scotland and the Mississ-
ippi bridge, at Cairo. The length of
the former is 10, 725 feet and that Of
the latter is 10, 700 feet.
