Most timely of the definitions is that
touching the status of the golfer en-
ployed in mercantile houses selling
sporting goods. According to the re-
vision, stockholders in such establish
ments, salaried people connected with
them or writers on golf are not made
professionals unless they use the game
or the scene of it for the purpose of eX-
plotting their business. Which means
that the Salaried representative or
member of a mercantile firm who
drums up business on the links, or the
reporter or owner of a paper who fire.
quentS tournaments to secure Subscrip-
tions, becomes ineligible to amateur
tournaments. And that is quite as 1t
should be. Golf has suffered from the
invasion of drummers in the guise of
sportsmen. On the other hand, sports
men have suffered by the indefinite
wording of the rule on this point; so
il is satisfactory to have the rule clear
and forcible. Another excellent and
equally needed provision is that dis
qualifying for the championship those
who have played in any golf tourna-
ment under an assumed name. Few
realize how important is this provision,
since it touches the very essentials of
amateur sport. In keeping with the
wisdom that prompted this ruling is
that other rule CHASING as profess

as a professional in any other sport

Ii Is a very ordinary thing for the
peasants to present their offerings in
Kind, money being rare commodity
with the majority. The villages
through which the ikon is to pass are
decked out in holiday attire In front
of each log hut there is table with a
white cloth, and on this cloth a big
loaf of black bread and salt-cellar full
OF salt await the arrival of the wan
derer. The priest who Officiates on
these occasions is robed in his white
gown, and murmurs unintelligible
prayers as he wends his way from hut
to hut, sprinkling each one with holy
OIL while the inhabitants bow repeat
edly, throw back their heads, and make
the sign of the cross three times run
ming, then kneel down and touch the
ground with their heads, in token Of
humiliation, after which they rise to
kiss the cross which the priest holds in
his right hand The priest and his at
tendant monks in the meantime keep
an eye on the bread and salt. which is
swept off the tables by the latter. who
also vigorously rattle tin money boxes
as a gentle reminder to those whose
homes have been blessed that even
blessings can never be had for moth
ing.
The entrance of the ikon into a town
is generally timed to take place on a
holy day, for then every one turns out,
and the wanderer is borne forth in tri-
umph. Holy days are vigorously OBJ
served by the holiday-loving Russian,
and, as each month possesses about a
dozen of these "fetes." marked in
large, red figures on the almanac, he
is comparatively free to indulge in
what he considers his bounden duty
namely: Go to church, welcome the
ikon when wandering, and get drunk.

The one disadvantage in employing
incandescent lamps in coal mines, now
that the installation of current is us
ually made for the purpose of operating
electrical cutters or electrical locOmO-
tives, is the possibility of the ignition
of the fire damp should the globe be
broken by a blast or being struck. TO
obviate the possibility of such an ex-
plOsion a German inventor proposes
to provide the lamp base with a spring
switch and mount the lamp against a
flexible diaphragm, so that should the
lamp receive a jar the spring will be
released, thus cutting out the current
The whole device is also protected by q

COLLEGE EXPENSES.

What does it cost to go to college?
No exact answer can be given. A great
deal depends on the college, and more
On the young man or woman. One
man does not even regard it as sac
rifice to dispense with certain things
which another deems Indispensable. A
graduate at New England college,
filling out the blank in a list of ques-
lions asking him what he meant to do
after leaving. wrote: Nothing but TO
spend money" Perhaps he was not
quite serious; but a young man who
could give such an answer even jest
:ngly, probably had already more
money to spend than was good for
him.
Inquiries about the expenses Of stu
dents were recently made at thirty
representative colleges. The answers
show a wide range, from two hundred
and fifty dollars a year to one thou
sand dollars; and at wOmen'S colleges
from three hundred and fifty dollars a
year at Mount Holyoke to five hundred
at Radcliffe or VaSSar. Clothing is
not included; but the figures are sup
posed TO represent the average expen-
ditures of students who have a serious
purpose, but who also enter heartily
into college life, belonging to societies
and supporting student organizations.
On one point all the answers agree.
Not even at the largest universities,
where there is most extravaganza
among some students, is a student who
works for his own support looked
down upon by the others. Colleges are
highly democratic, and that form of
snobbiShness which despises a man be-
cause he is poor is almost unknown in
them.
Most colleges remit the tuition fees
or give other aid to needy students,
and many take special measures to
help them to employment. Endow-
ments and scholarship funds have been
so increased that there probably never
was a time when a really earnest
young man or woman could go through
college with less money. do better wOrl
or have more enjoyment than now.

THE CHINESE VIEW.

At recent meeting OF the Academy
of Political and Social Science, held in
the city of Philadelphia, the chief in
cident was an address on China s
Relation With the West" delivered
by WI Ting Fang, the Chinese Minis
ter at Washington.
The Minister claimed that China
was making gradual. but sure adj
vances in the ways of Occidental civil
ization. But he did not understand
he said, the wide difference between
the ethical and moral principles of
the Western nations, including the
United States, and their practices.
Why should he understand it? The
Chinese have, for centuries, despised
war, and the soldier belongs to the
lowest class of the community On
the other hand, the Western nations
put soldiers in the front rank of citi-
zenship, and even in the United States
a successful fighter is usually the most
popular public man.
The Minister, like other educated
Chinese, has, no doubt, noble maxims
of Confucius posted in gilded letters
about his apartments, but he does not
pretend to practice them excepting as
he interprets them.
When his Government, after the
suppression of the TAPPING rebellion,
cut off the heads of $4,000 rebels in
Canton, it was done in the discharge
of solemn duty although it was
regarded as a barbarOus measure by
the Occidentals. When the British
blew open with shot and shell the
gates of China in 1910 because they
did not like the Chinese protective
system, the Chinese regarded that as
barbarous act. The Chinese Minis
ter does not really understand why the
British make no discrimination
against Chinese immigration SO far as
England is concerned, while they do
discriminate. Nor do the Chinese see
the logic of the American policy which
insists on an open door for the intro
auction or American goods INTO CHINA,
but nearly closed door to the intro
duction of Chinese goods into Amer
lea. If the Chinese Government de-
clared that the introduction of Amer
lean manufactured goods was men
ace to Chinese civilization, and
stopped the trade, Admiral Dewey
would be ordered to lombard Canton
and Foo-chow, in the interests of civ
ilization. The practice of information
al morals is rather an intricate affair
