When the hands are very dirty It is
better to rub them thoroughly with

NEW HINTS FOR GOLF LOVERS.
Suggestions which Might Improve the
Playing of the Game.

Hl1yluE VI thu oohhVs
Just at present golfing, except to a
minority composed of such cranks as
run each and every pastlme to point
of exaggeration, is at standstill, ana
the golfers of last season are looking
around for novelties for the coming
one, not only in clubs, shoes and cos
tunes, but in strokes and proper atti-
tudes OF body. One theory advanced
is that OF learning the proper swing.
The fault that is about the hardest 10
correct in driv'rg is to get the should
ers and back into the stroke, so that
the swing will be full and the cluo
head follow through with the ball.
The way to get the true style in driv-
ing, according to the new idea, Is TO
practice the drive with golf bali heid
firmly under the right armpit. 1t VIII
be found that when the swing is prop
erly made the ball will not be dis
lodged from its place, and, on the
other hand, that the eXertion of hold
ing the bali in its position will teacn
q fine carriage Of the shoulders ana
body throughout the entire stroke. All
who have tried swinging with a ball
under the armpit say that it has i'm
proved their drive. Another sugges-
tion is that the necks or mouths OF the
caddie bags should be not less than
six and half inches across. This rec
ommendation is based on the expe-
rience that the usual caddie bag mouth
of four and half inches insures badly
frayed leather grips Of the clubs, owing
to the haste OF the caddie boys to push
them in and out OF the bag in serving
the players during the round. The
bags, although somewhat larger to the
eye, are no heavier than those with
narrow mouths, and the caddie's work
is thus made easier and the chatlng
and scraping OF clubs done away with
to a great degree. A third suggestion
is an improvement in the cups used
to fill the holes. The usual disk cup
is of heavy galvanized tin, with two
cross pieces perforated to support the
disk staff, which, especially when the
ground is hard with frost, requires
considerable labor to bury in the earth
The new device, which has been used
for a season in the west, is an iron
cup having a thick base in which the
staff rests. The hole need not be as
deep as with the tin cups. and as there
are no cross bars the balls never be-
come stuck beneath them.

Longest heard in the World

Probably the longest beard in the
world is that of a metal worker IN
Marseilles. The man is seventy-four
years old. When fourteen years of age
he had a beard six inches long. 1t
grew from year TO year. and now his
hirsute attachment when uurolled,
reaches the respectable length of ten
feet ten inches. When the man goes
out walking he carries his beard rolled
up in big skein under his arm. Since
he is rather small in size. measuring
but five feet three inches. his beard is
more than twice the mans height.

WOMEN AND MORPHINE USAGE
Increasing Prevalence of the Narcotic

The use of narcotics is growing

by women is increasing at an alarm

give the drug at all, save in extreme
cases, for l believe we doctors are

ciful thing to relieve acute suffering

all right IL the patients couldn't get

it. There's the trouble. was called

WOMEN OUTLIvE MEN,
Prof Buchner Finds Many More Pc
male Cenfenn rIanA Than Mats..


1t is TRANCE, but true. that the most
delicate child often outlives his strong
or brother or sister. Many instances
are on record of the survival of those
who seemed destined to die early. Ii Is
said of Noltaire, who lived to be eighty.
four years old, that he was so delicate
at birth he could not be baptized for
several months. Sir Isaac Newton, the
doctors said would not live a week,
but he celebrated his eighty-tifth birth
day. Frontenelic lived to be 100. al
though he was so frall at birth that
the priest had to go TO his home To bap-
tize him.
Even more interesting than this Is
the statement by Prof. Buchner that IL
is possible for n woman To preserve her
youthful beauty even to her old age, or,
in some instances, 10 regain It, The
MaruuiSe Of Mirabeau died at eighty
six with all the marks of youth in her
face. Margaret Verdun. ut SiXty-five,
smoothed cut the wrinkles. her hair
grew again and her third set of teeth
appeared Cases of this third denti-
ton are not rare.
The professor still gives further hope
for the fair sex in tho announcements
that women live longer than men. \
French woman Marie PriouN, who
died in 1898. was said to he l5s years
old. Statistics of the various coun-
tries on this point are remarkable. In
Germany only I13 Of 1900 males reach
the age of fifty-five, while mere than
5oo of 1.0O0 females reach that age. In
the United States there are s,IS3 fe-
male to 1893 male centenaridns. In
France, of ten centenarians. seven
were women and only three men. In
the rest OF Europe, of twenty seven
centenarianS. sixteen were women.
The oldest person now living is held
TO be Annie Armstrong, who is III
years old. and lives in little town in
County Glare. Ireland.

A GREAT LOSS OF LIFE
And a Financial Loss OF
From One To Two Million
Dollars. The Owner
Driven Mad.

NEW YORK, March 18.-The firemen
worked all night on the Windsor hotel
ruins cooling them sufficiently for the
work of searching for the bodies,
which was begun vigorously this morn
ing, Throughout the night vast
crowds, many of them who were
friends of the missing persons believed
to have perished in the fire,
threnged the streets, adjacent to the
scene of the hotel holocaust. The list
of the known dead this morning is IA.
Seventy-two persons are missing
many whom are believed to be buried
in the ruins. There are more than
fifty injured persons at the various
hospitals of the city, large number
of whom are injured beyond recovery
The indications are that the list Cf
the desd will aggregate thirty or for
ty. The financial loss has been various
ly estimated by insurance men from
81 ZOO, 600 to $4,000 600.
An immense crowd has gathered in

Once the fire started, the building be-
came a blast furnace. The flames
spread with such remarkable rapidity,
that people, who had rooms in the up

and saved many lives, but they could
not reach all. The fire was the quick
est in action and one of the most dead
ly in the history OF the city. A rigid
investigation into the cause of the con-
fiagration was begun today. An
attempt will be made to place
the responsibility for the frightful loss
on the proper person. Thomas j. Bra
dy, the city commissioner of buildings,
says that the building was unfit for
hotel purposes. aud its complete de-
struction in so short a time illustrates
the utter helplessness of the fire de-
partment in regard to such an old
structure. Mr.. Brady says also that
there are at least q dozen other old
hotels in the city, where patrons take
their lives in their hands when they
enter their portals. and should be con-
