BLUNDERS IN FICTION.
The Queer Mistakes That Are Some
times Made by Authors.

The Queer Mistakes That Are Some
times Made by Authors.
We smile as we read and pass swiftly
by the stories of maidens that wander
in 'lOnely woods" at unearthly hours
of night, always clad in "a soft, white
clinging gown" Now, every girl knows
that the average maiden is too much
afraid of tramps and snakes to wander
in lonely woods" The weather, too,
appears to perplex our novelists, for
not infrequently they begin a chap
ter mt dawn, there are n few mo-
ments' conversation, and then the "sun
sets in lurid banks behind the distant
empurpled mountains"
1 am reminded at the outset of an
El.e lish story written by an author of
repute where the heroine in one scene
was made on one page to stoOp down
and tie her shoestring, while three
pages farther on, directly following, it
was said of the same girl that she had
remained barefOOted the entire day. In
another story n blind woman Is made
to view the hero through spectacles be-
fore the tale is ended.
In French nOvel-and we generally
consider French such literary masters
"a heroine is clearly made to go direct
from her bed to the breakfast table,
out shopping, to an afternoon tea and
to dinner in her robe de mutt! Cousins
suddenly transformed into brothers
without a moments warning are nu-
merous in this detectives library. Thus
one is amused to find the most mar
velous mistakes in books which we
think we have carefully read.-Modern

Golf In the Old Days.

Centuries back golf was pastime of
the royal family, though then usually
played in Scotland. The Stuart family
was very fond of the game, and the
first English club was established at
Blackheath in 1908 by James l. His
eldest son, Henry, frequently played
and ON one occasion nearly struck by
accident his tutor with a club, where
upon he coolly remarked, Had done
so l had but paid my debts" Charles
l was playing golf when he received
the news Of the Irish rebellion. James,
duke of York, afterward James ii, was
another ardent player. Golf is fire.
quently mentioned in ancient Scottish
records and in the fifteenth century
was prohibited because it interfered
with the practice of archery. Strut
considered it the most ancient game at
ball requiring a bat.-London ChrOn-
icle.

The squirreI hunters weapon.

The cream of squirrel hunting is en-
joyed by the man who uses light rifle
of small caliber and medium power
The ".22 long" as now turned out by
our leading makers is an excellent
weapon-in fact, the best in the world
for the purpose. Though not of suffi-
cient range to be dangerous to people
or stock at a distance, it throws lead
with surprising accuracy to the tops Of
the tallest trees. Good rifle shots al.
ways aim for the squirrels head both
to add to the difficulty of the sport and
to avoid spelling meat. And be 1t
known that a squirrels head at range
of 40 or so yards is no easy mark. If
a reader doubts this, let him go to the
woods for day, keep all empty shells.
and at the end of the day let him try
to make the dead squirrels and the
empty shells tally.-E. W. Sandys in
Outing.
