Garden Golf.

Golf that IS not played upon regular
golf course can hardly claim to be the
game, and there are doubtless sticklers
the big G. IN its name The purist holds
that garden golf or short golf or put
ting golf, or whatever else it may be
called, is not golf at all, but only bar
barous mutilation of the noble sport
Well, of course the purist is right, for
there can be no golf without full, free
driving off the tee and through the green
There can be no argument when every
body IS talking on the same side of the
question, and the inventors of garden
golf would be the first to repudiate the
lnsInuatlOn that they were setting up q
rival to the royal and ancient game If
it exists at all, it is simply through lack
OF opportunity for enjoying the real arti-

Almost any sized plot of lawn may
be utilized for garden golf in one form
or another, and the length and number
OF the holes may vary in accordance
with the amount of space at command

ASTONISHING how far clean-hit ball will
sometimes travel. To keep the lawn from
being hacked into unseemliness an old
uoormat may be used as a teeing-ground.
All the other strokes are supposed TO
be brought off with putter.
The holes, however, must be actually
snnken into the turf, and should be of
the regulation size. Otherwise the gar

and no kind Of patent contrivance can

three or four short holes may be laid ont

One hole may be just across or short of

MORNING IN THE ALPS.

Upon the distance of the east had grown
A light that made the dim horizon blue.
The blue was stealing upward through the
stars.
But vaguely dark the cloud-sea hung be-
meath
Within whose silent flood the world was
drowned.
Beyond the misty gulf, through farthest
space
There stretched a continent of snowclad
Alps
Lo! there was Deaths land grisly white
and dim,
With hueless Clouds like specters, guard
ing it.
We felt the dawn was growing but alas!
A dawn unreal, dawn without Il bird,
Without Il dewy scent or waking Sound.
Slowly the Alps took on denser white,
With outlines clear emerging into day;
The mists were gently stripped from distant
peaks;
The clouds grew gray with flmy sprays up
Curled.
Above, the stars, like ineffectual points.
No longer pierced the deepening blue of day.
Whittier and clearer grew the Alpine hosts,
The eastern sky famed redder while one
gaZed,
height
Then suddenly was cast upon the sky
Tar in the west Il glow of ruddy light,
That settled earthward till 4 jutting peak
Flushed opaline amid the daZe of white.
Anon another snow-cap biuShed response.
It was if torch unseen we're swung.
Mount after mount the flying radiance
caught,
Flashing it back again from FURNISHED
breasts,
As mornings pink ran down the icy waste,
The east unsheathed Il dazzling tip Of flame.

SHOT HER BETRAYER.
Harrington in His Cell at
LeeSVille, La.

New Orleans, La, April 29.-W. e.
Harrington, Il good-looking, well-edu-
Gated young man, who came to Leesville,
this state, from Kentucky, where he is
said to be highly connected, lies in
dying condition at that place with bui-
let in his left breast, fired by a woman.
Harrington was arrested about
month ago on the charge of criminally
assaulting Miss Mary Lacaze, daughter
of Joseph Lacaze, one of the most proml-
nent citizens of Vernon parish. AS there
was strong talk of lynching he was
transferred to Many, in the adjoining
parish of Sabine He was returned to
Leesville for trial, court opening there
today.
Negotiations had been in progress to
compromise matters by Harrington mar
rying Miss Lacaze. and she visited the
Jail with view, it was supposed. TO
make the final arrangements. Before
being allowed to see the prisoner she
was searched by the sheriff, but no
weapon found. On entering Harring-
toms CELL she suddenly drew q revolver
from her bosom, exclaiming dramatical-
ly: I've come to kill you" With this
she opened fire. Her first shot missed,
but the second went true, the ball strik-
ing her victim in the breast, penetrating
the left lung His death is only ques-
ton of hours.
Miss Lacaze was arrested and placed
in jail. Her family has many friends in
Vernon parish and they threaten to res

r. Boyce. They say that they did not
find the typhoid bacillus in any oysters
obtained from the sea or market-that
would only have happened if they had
got them (Which was not their purpose)
from tainted spot. But for experiment
they infected clean oysters with germs,
and the two principal results were emil
nently satisfactory. One was that, while
the typhoid bacilli could be detected i'll
the body of the infected oyster for ten
days, or even more, after inStrOductlon,
they showed no signs of increase, and IN
the intestine actually persisted
The other showed that by washing in
fected oysters N stream Of clean sea
water the typhoid bacilli, in from one
to seven days, uniformly and invariab bly,
either greatly diminished or totally dis
appeared. 1t is clear, therefore, that sea
water IS hostile to the development Of
these noXious germs. OF the green oys-
terS, the Investigators say that some are
perfectly wholesome, while others are
not. The reason is q simple one. The
greenness in the former case is due to
the presence of a harmless vegetable pig
ment. There may be also small guam
tity of an iron salt associated with it;
but this has no connection with the col
oring matter. In the other kinds of
green oysters the color is due to a delete
rious salt of copper. The epicure, there
fore, will do we'll not to eat green oysters
unless he knows where they come from.

A RELIC OF ST. PAUL.
Discovery at Corinth of a Fra gm cnt
of Il Famous Synagogue.

Rufus B. Richardson, director Of the
American school at Athens, writing in
the Century of american Discoveries
at Corinth," gives this account Of the
finding of most interesting relic:
Had anybody fOretold, when we began
eXcavating at COrinth in 1896, in abso-
lutte ignorance of the location of one sin
gle object mentioned in the description of
PauSaniaS, that at the end of the first
campaign we should have the theater.
and at the end of the second, Pirene, |
should have said that it was too good
to be true. In excavation, as in fishing,
luck plays Il great role AS all the ar
chaeOlogists in Athens are felicitating
the American schoOI on its luck, we
may as we'll rejoice openly. | would
rather be the discoyerer of Iirene than
take Quebec"
To most people the name "COrinth"
does not cOnjure up Il picture of its an
cient and honorable history from the
time when it founded Syracuse and Cor
cyra until it was destroyed by the Ro-
mans; 1t is rather the place made sacred
by the residence and loving labors of st.
Paul
In our first years work, while exca-
waiting a house evidently of the Roman
period, we had sportively called it the
house OF "Sosthenes, the brother little
expecting that we should ever come uDon
great apostle except by the slenderest
cord of fancy. Accordingly, it was rath-
er startling to find, on turning over a
block Of marble found at depth of
about ten feet, an inscription of Roman
times, rudely cut and broken at both
ends. The thought arose, and would
not down, that this stone was
part, of the very synagogue in which
Paul reasoned every Sabbath.
and persuaded the Jews and the
Greeks" when she continued here a
year and six months, teaching the word
of God among them
The block was deliberately carved on
one side with row of destils and high
er bands OF holdings both above and be-
low it, and had undoubtedly formed a
part of fine enta blature of building
in the older city destroyed by Mum
MUS; but in the synagogue it had been
used as the Intel of door. It's show
side, with the elaborate carving, had
been turned downwards, SO that it could
be seen by looking up as one passed
through the door, while the inscription
was cut in the edge now brought to the
front, which, being plain, was we'll fit
ted for the purpose.
We have not been able to identify any
of the walls found near by with the syn
agOgue from which the block came, al
though we may subsequently give it such
setting; nor can we say with certainty
that the inscription is not later than the
time of Paul. But the probability is the
other way, and it is d t least not unlikely
that he passed and repassed under this
very block. We could hardly have
found anything more closely associated
with him

Spain's Misery and Her Way Out.

4 Spanish eX-minister of war declared
recently through the American press that
the establishment of federal republic
was SPANS only hope of salvation. He
cOntended that in less than q year the
republic would be founded on a federal
basis or Spain would cease to exist.
The Spaniard who expressed these
opinions has no faith in the present gov
eminent. He distrustS Romero RObledO
as much as he does Weyler, and has as
little confidence in the ''one-man Repub-
leans" as in the ''one-man Carlists." He
does not believe in the republic of Prim
or CASTELAR,, but in a strictly federative
republic which would dispose Of central
ization and one-man leadership and the
monarchy ''for whose security a sense
less war was first instituted and for
which afterward a humiliating and
shameful peace was signed But he
admits that the true Federal party has
been weakened by a war without quar-
ter, waged upon it for a quarter of
century, not only by the Monarchists but
also by the One-man Republicans.
If this eX-miniSterS view were cor
rect, there would be already no hope for
Spain, because at the recent elections
Emilio Castelar, the leader of the Re
publicans, was defeated by the support
ers of Sagasta. The ministry has eighty
of the new deputies, the Republicans
the Republicans elected are followers of
Castelar, and not of Margall, the Fed
| eralist. These facts give no hope to the
Carlists Or other revoutionists, or to
those who look forward to the founding
of Il true republic in Spain
However, the eX-minister's assumD-
tons are not borne out by the facts. The
troubles of Spain are due not to the pres
ent form of government. They originate
with the Spanish people. Castelars re-
public Of twenty years ago was failure
because Castelar, worked with a people
| of whom IS per cent could neither read
nor write. The monarchy of Sagasta
and Campos has been a failure because
they have been compelled to deal with a
people of whom more than 20 Der cent.
can neither read nor write.
According to the latest reports y per
cent. of the people of Spain are illiterate.
AT the same date in the United States 81
per cent Of the people Of the United
States were able to read and SO per cent
able to read and write. Among the ma
tive whites the percentage of illiterate
was about 8 per cent. A republic is sue
cessful in the United States because the
people are educated and we'll informed
A republic in Spain would not be sue

With an lllterate percentage of 10 to
70 per cent. it is as useless to talk of q
republic in Spain as in Cuba or the
philippines. She might have republic
in name. like that in San Domingo or
Costa Rica, but it would be- as the Span
ish ex-minister declares, a one-man re-
public, and no better than q monarchy.
