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
BlaclIheath in 16Os by James /. His
eldest son. Henry, frequently played
and on one occasion nearly struck by
accident his tutor with club, where
upon he coolly remarked, HAD done
so / had but paid my debts" Charles
/ was playing golf when he received
the news Of the Irish rebellion. James.
duke of York, afterward James III. was
another ardent player. Golf IS fire.

The cream Of squirrel hunting Is en-
joyed by the man who uses a light ride
of small callber 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 he 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 It
known that a squirrels head at a range
of 40 or 80 yards IS no easy mark. II
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

Artificial stnne.

Quarrymen and stone dressers will
probably be gradually crowded out Of
their occupation by the use of artificial
stone. In tho manufacture Of this stone
the sand is heated and the cement add
ed to the amount Of - per cent Of the
mixture. Tho steel molds are filed
with the dry material and moved into
an immense cylinder. which is closed
and bolted. Boiling water is then
turned In under pressure sufficient to
force It all through the sand In the
molds. The cement slacks, but the
steel molds do not permit any expan-
sion TO occur, and the stone IS formed
and dried under an immense pressure.
The result IS a very hard stone, which
can be supplied in shapes desired and
much cheaper than the natural stone.

TALK OF MARRIAGE.
II Is Proper For the Man, but Not
For the Girl, Apparently.

II Is Proper For the Man, but Not
For the Girl, Apparently.
A man may remark on his intention
to marry at some indefinite future time,
when prudence. or other considerations
may make It possible or advisable,
without having, as a rule, to run the
gantlet Of n chorus of impertinent and
stupid would be witty remarks. But
should a girl be bold enough, or, rather,
natural and simple enough, to say the
same thing what would be the result7
Why, every one knows that she would
be promptly sneered out Of counte-
nance.
And why? Is it immodest for wom-
an to express q determination to enter
into a state which we are being contin-
ually reminded Is natural and honor
able state, while 1t is modest and prop
er for a man TO do so? Such a distinc-
tion would never be drawn except for
the "cheapness" to which reference has
been made.
If man wants to marry, he can mar
ry. If the first woman he asks refuses
him, he has only to ask a second or per
haps a third or fourth. It would be
safe to guarantee that within a month
any man OF fairly respectable life and
position and appearance who cared tC
make the experiment could marry fl
his own class, could marry probably {
woman much superior to himself
But what about the girl who intends
TO marry "some dayT Is she not In a
very different position from the man
Here is a girl Of good character-muci
better than the mans, probably-aver
age intelligence, average good looks
Theoretically she is free to marry
whom she win, but is she7 If she re
ceives one distinct offer Of marriage
she has had more than her share, &C
cording to the probable average.
The fact that by an unwritten law I
woman must not take. and, indeed, doe
not want to take, the initiative has ver'
little to do with the extremely limited
choice which modern conditions imposl
upon English women.-NineteenthC Cen

( sIeNAtlNeNoi MARS.
rSc, DImcuIty, of Doing SO by Means
of Iight.


The very. largest city that this earth
has ever known would be altogether
too small 20 be visible to a being
dwelling on the planet Mars, even IL
that being were endeavorlng 60 see It
with telescope as powerful as the
greatest and most perfect instrument
in any observatory on this globe.
If the whole extent of Lake Superior
was covered with petroleum and IL that
petroleum was set on fire, then, I think.
we may admit that an inhabitant Of
Mars who was furnished with a tele-
scope as good as that which Percival
Lowell uses at Flagstaff might be able
TO see that something had happened.
But we must not suppose that the
mighty connagratlon would appear to
the Martian as a very conspicuous OBJ
ject 1t would, rather, be a very small
feature. but still l think It would not
be beyond the reach of practiced OBJ
server In that planet.
On the other hand. If an area the size
OF Lake Superior on Mars was TO be
flooded with petroleum and that petro'
leum was to be kindled, we should ex
pect to witness the event from here not
as u great and striking conhagraion
but as a tiny little point of just dis
cernible light The disk Of Mars Is
not large object. and the confagra
tlon would not extend over the three
hundredth part Of that disk.

NoncnnI,Inr Restnnrnnta.

Odd as It may appear to dwellers in
small cities. some Of the down town
restaurants Of New York are in build
ings in which no cooking is allowed.
Some of the busiest of the midday res
taurants purchase all their meats and
stews already cooked and merely heat
them through again before serving
them TO patrons. This branch of the
restaurant business has reached such
proportions that the mere operation of
cooking for such places has become an
established business. and owners Of
ovens thrive at it.-NeW York Sun.

swaIIowed T,ro Pounda OF stone.

Stones do not form part of the rec
ognized diet of the cormorant, but one
Of these birds in the National Zoolog-
ical park In Washington had a craving
which could be satisfied only by eat
ing two pounds of stones. The keep
er's attention was attracted to the bird
because after having once sat down
It couldn't get up. He was picked up,
and then the stones were heard rattllng
inside Of him. An official connected
with the park decided that something
must be done, and he promptly cut the
cormOrant open and relieved him of his
burden. One of the stones, of irregular
shape, was 3ls inches long. The in
cision was sewed up. and for five days
the bird got along all right, the wound
healing finely. but at the end of that
time the cormorant grew restive and
pulled out the stitches with his hooked
bill. As a consequence of opening up
the wound he died.

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

ments' conversation, and then the "sun
sets in lurid banks behind the distant
empurpled mountains"
