Medicinal virtues of Golf.

Golf can be played all the year, inde-
pendently of atmospheric vicissitudes,
during all the seven ages of man, by
delicate young girls as we'll as by strong
athletes, and even by decrepit old men
whose declining powers do not admit OF
severe exertion. 1t combines exercise,
pleasure and fresh air without risk
of injury to heart, lungs or nervous sys-
tenn, as is the case in certain other exer-
cises in which there is high blood pres-'
sure and arterial tension. There is abso-
lutely no danger attached to the game
and consequently no accidents ensue.
The obesity and degeneration of mid
die age, when the biceps have diminished
and ones energy is failing, may be help
ed by devotion to golf. 1t is pre-emi-
nently in functional nervous disease
that our great Anglo-Saxon game is to
be recommended. No exercise or recrea-
tion is better fitted for the mentally
|oyerworked, the hysterical, the melan-
|cholic. None SO helps to preserve the
concerted action of eye, brain and mus
Gle known as the psychological moment.
None, perhaps with the exception of
swimming, gives one so good an appe-
tite. There is not more sovereign rem
edy for dyspepsia, and as to insomnia,
such thing scarcely exists among the
devotees of golf. olf.-International Medical

THE wHlsrLlNa BOY.

Is there sound in the world SO sweet on .
dark and dreary morn,
When the gloom without meets the gloom with

As the sound of little barefoot boy gayly
whistling in the rain,
While he drives the cows to pastures green
down the path in the muddy lanef
The joy of boy is funny thing. not damp
ened by autumn rain.
His clothes and his hands and his sturdy feet
are not spoiled by CRIME or stain.
rhe world to him is a wonderful place that he
means some day to explore

cares if the heavens pourf
Oh, that CHEEKY trill Of heart as fresh as the
drops that clear the air,
Brings smile to our lips and clears the soul
of the gloom that brooded there.
And we bless the boy as he spat. along through

For the hope and cheer in that whistled note
would rainbow the sky in a food.

ssRacinR', Engines.

To prevent the engines of vessel
from tracing" when the screw rises
above the water. Signor E. Putalo has
invented an electrical regulator. The
oontrivance, according to Industries
and Iron, consists of two vessels Of mer-
curry, connected at the bottom by q tube
and mounted fore and aft in the ship.
The vessels are about half full at nor
NAL depth. When the ship pushes for
ward so as to raise the screw, the rods
connected with the resistance are sub
merged one after the other, SO that an
electro magnet is brought into play, the
whole resistance being short circuited
when the screw is quite out of the wa
ter. The electro magnet operates throt-
tie valve in the main steampipe, which
is thrown open by another magnet By
this arrangement the steam is turned
off and on. From experiments it has
been shown that the mercury vessels
need not be more than "a inches apart
on ship 800 feet long.

It has been denied that German ofh-
GERS took part in the actual fighting in
the Greco Turkish war, so it Is we'll to
point out that there are two allusions in
a book, "The Greco Turkish War OF
1897" to their action, and quotation
from ian account written by Grumb-
kow Pasha, Prussian artillery instructor
to the Ottoman army" who "had been
sent to the army to supervise the arma-
ment and ammunition" but without
holding any definite command. +" Gen.
eral Won Grumbkow on April % com-
manded the ten squadrons Of cavalry
and the horse artillery battery which
started for Larissa, and, after he had
been re-enforced, the three regiments OF
cavalry which entered that town. It is
curious fact related by the German
officer in question that he set Greek
against the wall with the intention Of
shooting him and was prevented from
doing SO by Turkish orders.-Athe-
