The Popularity of Golf.

The death of Wayman McCreery Of
st. Louis, the expert billiard player,
has evoked considerable discussion ow-
ing to- the assertion of DR.. Bernays, a
well known surgeon, that Mr.. McCree-
ry was killed by a too strenuous addic-
ton to the game Of golf DR.. Bernays
declares that it is dangerous in the ex-
IRENE for men who have passed the
meridian of life to take up the game.
AS might be expected, the doctors
statements have provoked whirlwind
of criticism from devotees Of golf, who
are by no means a small band.
On the face of it golf does not appear
to be very strenuous game; but, as
players we'll know, it may easily be-
come so. Therein lies not only the Sc
cret Of it's popularity but also of it's
dangers. Americans will never be con-
tent with parlor games. When lawn
tennis first made its appearance in this
country, it was tabooed by spOrtSmen
and athletes as a game fit to be played
only by women. But the experts open
ed the eyes of the laymen, and today
lawn tennis is more popular than ever.
The same thing may be said of golf.
One can either loaf around the links If
he is lazy or can work like beaver if
he is energetic. And the American golf
player is much more liable to belong to
the second class than to the first.
In the case of Mr.. McCreery it ap-
pears that he took up the game Of golf
in an effort to reduce his weight and
that it was his habit to make the cir
cult Of the links not merely once or
twice, but often thrice, thus covering
in the course of an afternoon much
more ground than even a professional
would care to traverse. Now, it must
be remembered that in golf pretty
brought into action in making the va
rious strokes, and the effect on a heavy
man cannot result otherwise than in a
severe strain. Whether or no golf was
really the cause or MI. MCCfeery s
death we are not in a position to judge
but there is without doubt a possibility
that it brought on a condition Of things
which would leave him in a very poor
way to combat any illness.
Golf, however, is a deservedly popu-
lar game, but few will admit this until
they have themselves essayed it. 1t is
a little more than the mere hitting and
hunting of the tiny white sphere. A
man is called on to use not only his
muscles, but his brain, in an eXtraordi-
nary degree, for strategy and alertness
are essential to successful golfng. In
this game, therefore, the American
man of affairs can find the truest form
of relaxation, one which will engross
his attention to the extent of making
him utterly forgetful Of business wor-
ries. But let him remember that in
golf, as in everything else, enough is as
good as a feast

Virginia's Proposed Divorce Law

The Virginia constitutional cOnven-
ton makes an interesting and seeming
ly practical suggestion concerning the
divorce question. The resolution sets
out by reciting the fact that the state
has made itself a party to and custo-
dian Of marriage contracts Ey making
it necessary to get a license from the
proper state officials before the mar
rage ceremony can be performed. 1t
then asks for the migrating into the
new state constitution of provision
Requiring the general assembly to enact laws
making the commonwealth party in all divorce
proceedings hereafter instituted in any court Of
this state, the commonwealth being represented
by its city or county attorney, as the case may
be, whose duty it shall be to inquire carefully into
all the facts, and if it shall be found that either
or both parties have been guilty of misdemeanor
or crime leading up to the breach of marriage
they shall be indicted and punished as the law
may direct.
Why is not this sensible and practi-
cal suggestion applicable to other
states as we'll as Virginia? When the
courts Of a state are asked to dissolve
marriage contract because one Of the
parties to it has been guilty of some
misdemeanor or crime which by its
laws is cause for divorce and the di-
vorce is granted for that reason, why
should not the state take sufficient in
terest in the matter to punish the guilty
party whether the applicant for the di-
vorce does or does not wish punish
ment to be inflicted?
If cruelty, abandonment and adul-
terry. the chief causes alleged for di-
vorce, are misdemeanors or felonies I'M
der the laws of some states, the per-
sons committing them ought to be pun
ished, and the inflictiOn of the punish
ment might have q wholesome effect on
society in the matter of divorces. At ali
events Virginia's proposed law will be
watched with interest.

Our Trade With the Japanese.

The recent unwilling of statue of
Commodore Perry in Japan which COM
memOrates the visit of the American
naval officer to that country nearly SO
years ago shows something Of the cor
dial relations of the Japanese govern
ment and people and the United States.
The remarkable growth in the export
trade from this country to Japan gives
added evidence of that cordially.
The Japanese statistical report, en-
titled annual Return Of the Foreign
Trade of the Empire of JAPAN" has
just been received by the treasury bu-
reau of statistics and presents the de-
tails Of the imports and exports Of ia
pan in the calendar year 1900. 1t shows
that the imports from the United States
have grown from 100000 yen ($3, 1884,
I'D in 1898 to over 6O,OOO,O 1000 yen $685.,
1880 in 1900 and that the United
States, which stood sixth in rank in the
list Of countries from which Japan
drew her imports in 1893, is now Sec
ond in the list, being only exceeded by
Great Britain. In 1893 Japan import
ed from Great Britain 27,929,62S yen
worth of goods and in 1900 71,63S,219
yen. Going still farther back, it may
be said that in 1881 the United States
supplied 6 per cent and the United
Kingdom 50 per cent of Japan's i'm
ports, while, as above indicated, the
United States now supplies q per cent
and the United Kingdom % per cent.
With the growing friendliness and
increasing intercourse between the
United States and Japan we ought
soon to overtake our British rivals in
the race for Japanese trade.

Last Fiscal Years Foreign Trade
Mayor.

Last Fiscal Years Foreign Trade.
The detailed figures of our foreign
trade for the past fiscal year, which
have just been compiled by the treas
ury bureau of statistics at Washing
ton, make a wonderful showing and in
dictate the growing greatness Of our
country as a commercial nation. Ac-
cording to these figures, we sold abroad
S., 4S7, 755, 557 worth of goods during
the year embracing the last half Of
1900 and the first half of 1901. They
were divided into great classes as fol-
lows:
1900. 1901.
Products of agriculture. $685. 1913 1914 568
Products of manufacture. 1851, 756 410509,173
Products of mining. 37,843,74 39,267, CAT
Products of the forest.... 52,218,112 54,312, $3.50
Products of the fisheries. 6,326,620 7743,313
Miscellaneous ........... 4,665,218 4,561, 27S
Each of these great classes except
manufactures shows marked increase
over the previous year. The decrease,
real or apparent, in manufactures,
which amounts to $23,342, 583, is due
chiefly, it is asserted, to the absence of
figures showing exports to Hawaii and
Porto Rico, which are estimated at
about $25,OOO,0O0 for the year and
largely consisted Of manufactures. In
cotton cloths there was a reduction,
due to the temporary suspension of ex-
ports to China, to which the exporta-
lions Of cotton cloths fell from 1S2, O23,
6S1 yards, valued at S., 7S3, 1874, in 1900,
to So, S59, 4O2 yards, valued at $4,552,-
534, IN 1901.
The total exports were 500, 272, 475 in
excess of those of 1900 and $6O3,274, :
TAT in excess of those Of 1891, ten years
earlier, which is a very gratifying in
crease. Our total imports for the year
were $500, $685. 16, which is $27, 26S, 1853
less than those of 1900 and 500, 243, $50
less than those of 1891, ten years ear
lier.
The excess of exports over imports
was $12O, 54O,643 greater than that Of
1900 and $625, ST, 927 greater than that
of 1891, which shows an increasing
balance in our favor in the trade with
the world altogether pleasing.

The Bureau of Forestry.

There has lately been created in con-
hectlon With the department of agri
culture a bureau of forestry, with Mr..
Clifford Pinchot at it's head, which is
destined to play an important part in
the future Of the country Heretofore
the agricultural department has done
much to aid the department of the in
terror in preserving the forests Of the
public domain, but the establishment
Of this bureau widens the scope of it's
activity in this direction. It's organiza-
ton was provided for by an act Of the
last session of congress, which appro
priated $1S5,44O for the purpose. It's
field Of work will include the study of
forest conditions, the giving of advice
to the owners Of forest lands as 70 how
they should utilize them and provide
for a renewal of their timber as fast as
it becomes depleted, the supervising of
numbering operations on tracts owned
by the national government and in 9TH,
er ways to check the reckless and in
many cases criminal waste that mark
ed the treatment of American forests.
The bureau will be required to pro-
vide working plans for the 100000
acres of forest lands still owned by the
government. Forestry will be made a
practical and we'll regulated industry,
by which it is hoped that the present
lumber crops can be gathered without
injury to future ones. In this field work
there are now engaged about 200 ex-
perts under the direction of the bureau
Of forestry, and the work is being pros
ecuted in II states and will be further
extended. It is high time we began in
a practical and systematic way to pre-
serve our forests, and the movement
should receive both official and popular
encoura cement.

1t is safe to say that the statistician
who estimates the loss to the farmers
from drought at $62O,OOO,OO0, without
counting the losses on hogs and cattle,
has more interest in bulling the prices
of corn and hogs than in achieving a
reputation for statistical accuracy. No
doubt the disastrous effects of the pro-
longed drought and excessive heat in
some of the states of the corn belt
have been very great, but there is a
disposition in some quarters to exag-
gerate the extent of the losses for spec
ulative purposes. AS rule the gov
eminent crop reports are far more
reliable authority in these matters than
the guesses of speculative statisticians.

The hope has been expressed that
golf would not become a fad and that
it might escape the fate which has
sooner or later befallen every popular
game in this country. Now it appears
that it is being played at night with
phosphorescent balls. Soon we may ex-
pect to hear of indoor golf and parlor
have marked the decline and fall Of
other popular games.
