Layins4out Golf Courses.

-' AAt
In the organization Of golf clubs,
which is now going on apace all over
the country, the urse selected is the
most important part of the whole ar
rangement, says the Philadelphia
Times. 1t is not necessary to pur'
chase expensive grounds for a golf
course. Some claim today that the
tendency Of the constructors Of golf
links is to make them too artificial
This is not desirable, for the game is
intended to be played where nature
has been most prodigal in her distri-
button Of irregularities Of landscape
objects. Waste land, with a good turf,
a few sand pits, and some hedges,
bitches or woods are all that a club
needs for making an ideal course.
Every course must have some arti-
fetal improvement, but the less that is
required in this way the better will the
links prove. The elaborate construc-
ton Of holes, bunkers, woods and other
difficulties may be essential on city
links, where the grounds r poorly
adapted to golf in the beginning. but in
country clubs this work and expense
would be all a waste Of time and
money. A permanent golf course can
be ornamented with the planting Of
trees and shrubbery, but unless the or
ganization owns the ground and wishes
to make the course beautiful for all
time it will not pay to do even this.

the important duties which will
devolve upon him as the new head Of
the wal department..
1t is not improbable that the near
future will see Mr.. Root in the position
of colonial secretary and a new man at
the head of the war department..
The entire colonial policy will I'M
doubtedly be canvassed before the series
of conferences between the president
and his new wal secretary are ended, but
Cuba, contrary to expectations, will
probably receive more attention than
the wal in the Philippines, OF course
Nh. Root will have q Voice il all mat
ters relating to the conduct of the war,
but the president desires him to give
particular attention to the many COM
plicated legal questions involved in the
change from the military to the civil
control of the dependencies. The pres
ident will continue to give close per-
sonal attention, with the assistance of
Adjutant General Corbin. to the purely
military work connected with the cam
paign in the Philippines,
The question o. the future ef guaa
will receive Immediate attention OF Mr..
Root.

The president believes the time has
come to give the Cubans a trial at self.
government, and he wants Mr., Root to
take hold of this matter and formulate
plans whereby the Cnbans will have an
opportunity to establish aosao kind Of
government which this country can
recognize. 1t is this class Of work, IN
volving a knowledge Of constitutional
and international laws which Influenced
the president In the determination to
have a lawyer, instead Of a soldier at
the head Of the department.
Eventually, it is the presidents ex-
pectation that there will be a new de-
partinent of the government to have di.
rect control of all the affairs pertaining
to the colonies. Mr.. Root will be ex-
pected to do the work of a colonial Sec
rotary rather than q war secretary,
pending the establishment by congress
Of the proposed new department.. Prob
ably in the future, he may be trans.
ferred to the control of the new depart
ment. If it is authorized.
Mr.. Root, of course, will have much
to do with the Philippine war, but the
president will naturally depend more
upon his advice for substituting a civil
for a military government in the Phil
ippines when the time comes for such
action than he will upon his assistance
in connection with the military cam
paign.

One of u largest importers of orisn-

widely advertised process OF cleaning

escaping and leaves a stratum of mud

later destroys the threads.
Many of the smaller rug dealers axe

is achieved bys building up the tire

New Stirrup For Equestriennes.

New Sttrrup For Eq~uestriennes.
A new stirrup has just been devised
for lady riders in England which is
meeting with pronounced uccess over
there, both in the hunting field and in
road riding. Its nature is something
similar to the old leather stfrrup used
by children, which prevents the foot
being showed home. It is made of
metal and has the appearance Of a
small cage. Those who have found it
~seryiceable argue that when the STIR
rup touches the instep and is not too
short the rider has no power to press
the knee upward under the crutch and
SO to cur the strongest seat possible
On a sidesaddle. OF course, it is mex
pedient for a horsewoman to thrust
her foot home in the stirrup. In this
new stirrup the ball of the foot is fore
ed to remainson the tread, and there
is hence room for two or three inches
Of ankle play. This is a great adyan-
tage. Male riders are aware Of this,
because they know that if they adjust
their stirrups to ride with the ball of
the foot the stirrups are too long il
the foot. be thrust home. The new
device has the after edge Of the tread
slightly turned up, so as to prevent the
foot slipping about. 1t is practically
impossible for any rider to be hung up
in this stirrup, because the foot cannot
by any means become locked in it.
When riding with the ordinary stirrup,
1t is impossible sometimes for the fair
rider to prevent her foot from getting
home, which not only weakens her
seat, but presents a constant danger to

c MANNHEIM,

A Manxman may soon be able to mar
ry mis- deceased wife's sister. Yesterday
a bill legalizing such a union passed
through the house of keys with the oppo-
sltlon of only one member, and there is
every prospect that the measure will also
ma with the legislature council.
Edward Henry Christian, the only op-
ponent in the house of Keys, argued
against the measure on Biblical and So
clal grounds, and moved as an amend
Inent that mo minister of religion shall
be compelled to perform the ceremony
of marriage between any person and the
sister of his deceased wife, now legal
ICED. II he has conscientious scruples
against so doing" This, however, did
not find a seconder.
In addition to legalizing future mar
rlages with the sister of a deceased wife,
III IS interesting to note that the pro-
posed statute will legalize all such mar
rlages previously contracted and make
the offspring of them legitimate,
Mr.. Paynter Allen, secretary of the
Marriage Law Reform association, in
formed a Daily Mail representative yes
terday that he himself had canvassed
the principal towns of the island, and
found that forty were in favor of the
measure against one in opposition. On
the other hand, he oun tina there was
a strong feeling against marriage be-
tween first cousins.
Three years Jersey carried a bill
similar to the ManX one, so that a be-
reaved husband who desires a step-sister
for his second, third, or fourth wife need
at the present time Only cross the cham
mel in order for the happy pair to be
lawfully joined together.
When the Isle of Man follows suit,
England will be the only country in the
world in which the deceased wife's sister
must remain single in SO far as her de-
ceased sisters widower is concerned.
