As in cycling, so in golf, is etiquette

pleasure but the success of the game.
The woman contemplating joining a
golf club has not only TO master the 81

If she aims to be popular member of

That it is better to be seen and not

ICE CREAM CENTURIES AGO.
The Delicious Summer CONNECTION
First Manufactured In Italy
How IL Originated.

Early June days generally see the ice
cream and soda parlors doing a stead
lily increasing business. Ice cream is
much older sweetmeat than many
persons suppose. In the beginning Of
the seventeenth century goblets made
OF ice and also iced fruit-that is. fruit
fiuzep over were first brought to
table. The limonadiers, or lemonade
sellers. of Paris. endeavored to increase
them. and one. more enterprising than
the rest, an Italian named Procope
Couteaux, in the year 1860, conceived
the idea of converting such beverages
entirely into ice, and about 20 years
later iced liquors-that is, liquors
changed into ice-were the principal
things sold by the Iimonadiers. By the
end of that century iced liquors were
quite common in Paris.
Ice cream. or iced butter" as IL was
first called. from its supposed resem-
blance to that substance, soon followed.
1t was first known in Paris in IVA.
Due de Charities often went at that time
to the Paris cotfee-h houses to drink a
glass of iced liquor. and the landlord
having one day presented him with his
arms" formed in edible ice, this kind
of sweeimeat became the fashion. Ger
man cooks AT once took up the new art.
1t was no, long in reaching England, for
in 1916 a French cook resident in Lon
don. named Clermont, wrote THE
Modern Cook" in which sweet ices were
first described for the instruction OF
English cooks. The ice cream OF
these days is an enormously elaborated
sweetmeat compared with that Of the
oldep time.

Similar conditions apply to command

Necessarily the deck of vessel at
sea offers much less satisfactory plat
form from which to shoot than the
sslid foundation provided in land fort,
since even when the ocean is calmest
the vessels must constantly roll from
side to side. Theoretically the best
time to fire would be at the moment be-
tween the rolls, when the deck of the
ship is perfectly level, and in a general
way it may be said that an attempt is
made TO do the shooting at that in

MAKING MONEY.
Unusual Chances In War Time, Bat
Plenty of Opportunities All
the Time.

''In war time" said a man of mature
years. there are always unusual
chances that are taken advantage of by
men of foresight to make money. This
reminds me of what Josh Billings said,
that if our foresight was as good as our
hindsight we'd all be rich,' or words to
that effect.
AT the outbreak of the civil war in
this country there were lopg-headed
men who stored away manufactured
cotton goods. bleached and unbleached
cottons, sheetings, and SO on. AS the
war went on. what with the curtaiment
of production and the blockade OF
southern ports, the price of cotton
scared skyward and manufactured cot
sponding!y. Most men peddled out
their holdings as the price rose, but
some held on and got for their goods
six or eight times what they paid fol-
them.
There has been no such money as
that made in this war yet. and don't
suppose there's likely to be. BUTT would
be easy to pick out things that have
risen greatly in value and that man
might easily have made fortune on II
he'd known what was going to happen.
Suppose he'd have brought all the bunt-
ing there was, for instance. or taken a
fall out OF sulphur. or put away few
hundred cases OF Spanish olives. He'd
have found money in all these things
and in various others. But then a man
can find money in time Of peace, too. II

THEORY OF SUNSTROKE.
An Infectious Disease-is Not Due 60
Heat or TO Exposure to
the Sun.

DR.. Sambon adopts what to many will
be a startling theory to explain the ac-
ton Of sunstroke. says the Los Angeles
Times. He regards this affection a. not
due to excessive heat or exposure o the
sun, but TO an infectious disease caused
by a specific organism. He attests the
fact that strokers, oven cleaners. min
ers and iron workers are exposed to
temperatures higher than those of any
known climate without ever contract
ing the malady, and that the Assam tea
planters and the closely shaven Chinese.
although constantly working in the
hottest sun, are equally exempt.
DIR. Sambon. discussing the geograph-
ical distribution of the disease. goes on
to prove that the areas in which il is
epidemic are strictly defined. While
unknown in Europe. il is common in the
low-lying regions of the eastern United
States between the Appalachians and
the Atlantic. 1t extends along the Nile
sea, the Red sea and the Persian gulf.
1t prevails in the Indo-Gangetic alluvial
plain, but not on the adjacent Indian
highlands. In support of his infect ion
theory DIR. Sambon refers TO the occur
renee of epidemics which have frequent
ly decimated hospital wards and not az
fected men exposed to greater heat and
sun. The demonstration Of the organic
origin of the malady rests on its dis
tribu,ion etiology. morbid anatomy and
epidemic character. The specific or
ganism has not been detected. but DR..
Sambon's Investigations incline him to
the belief that il lives in the superficial
layers of the soil, and is conveyed to the
lungs or alimentary canal by dust.

MARRIAGE CUSTOMS,
IL . Relic OF Print.
tive Tfmes.

Until the middle Of the sixteenth
century Christian marriage consisted
OF two distinct ceremonies--the he.
trothal or espousals, which were fol-
lowed at a considerable interval. some
times extending to two years. by the
benediction or complete marriage.
Many modern marriage customs are
relics Of primitive times. For instance,
the throwing of old shoes after the
newly married pair is q remnant Of
marriage by capture. when the brides
relations threw stones and other mis-
siles after the bridegroom as he rode
off with his captured bride. The honey
moon is relic of the enforced seclusion
in which a captured bride and her cap
turer lived after the bridegroom had
secured his wife; and the traditional
hatred of mothers-in-law is merely q
survival OF the old feud between the
bridegroom and the brides family.
Groomsmen are another remnant Of
marriage by capture. They were origi-
nally the brides bodyguard when
she was pursued by her bridegroom
and his friends. Then later they used
to be attached to the brides procession,
and had nothing to do with the bride
groom. Because their Office was re-
duced to q sinecure. they were armed
with lances, and carried lighted torches
for these captures were generally at
tempted at night, .

MORGAN SAYS IT rs NECESSARY
senator Morgan Thinks the Near
aqua Canal VIII BE Built.

San Francisco, Aug. S.-The Hawaiian
commission made up of Senators Cullom
and Morgan and Representative Hit, has
arrived in this city and will take passage
for Honolulu on the Mariposa sailing
Wednesday.
There is one other great question which
Senator Morgan hopes to see taken up
and settled next winter when congress
meets. This is the Nicaraguan canal, and
he believes that this congress should at
its next session pass the bill now before
the senate providing for the construction
of the canal. He says:
"The republican party is committed 20
it. and it is a thoroughly American pol
lev. 1t can be built for $60000000,
though l placed the estimates in my bill
at Sll5,000,000, so that no one could
criticise it as underestimate. The Near
aqua canal would have been built long
ago but for the opposition of those who
are more English than American, and
who were ready to help England secure
a partnership in the construction and the
control of the canal.
now, and new light on the whole propo-
sition is before the country. The Nicara-
qua canal commission will make a report
showing the practicability of the prop
osition and the commercial necessity for
the construction of the canal. The war
and the great voyage of the Oregon, with
the anxiety of the whole nation over the
safety of the magnificent battleship have
already demonstrated the absolute need
of the canal in time of war, and President
Mckinley will recommend it in his next
message to congress.
Il believe the Nicaragua canal will be
built and built by American capital. 1t
is now necessary to bring together the
different parts of our POSSESSIONS and to
connect the Atlantic seaboard with the
Pacific and with Hawaii. The commerce
of the world demands the construction If
this great waterway. Holding Puerto
Rico in the Caribbean sea and a protect
oate over Cuba, this nallon would be
craven to allow any other power to have
any part or interest in the control of the
canal"
1t is believed that Senator Morgan 5
bill making the canal a government pro-
ject will be passed during the coming ses-
sion. The navy department is intensely
interested in the canal. Arguments are
being prepared by the experts of the de-
partment now for submission to congress.
