Golf in Girls Colleges.

The golf craze of the last few years
has found It's way to nearly all the
girls colleges. Sometimes the college
has its own course or makes arrange
ments with some other club. Smith
College has unique arrangement.
The college ana town together own Il
golf course, which is proving itself too
small for the number OF enthusiasts
who flock TO the links on all possible
occasions. The course is about three
miles from the college and Is n piece
OF farm land bought for the purpose
and worked over into fairly good con-
dition. The pretty, old-fashloned little
farmhouse serves as un excellent
club house. where the members rem
devious and where the popular Wed
nesday afternoon teas are given. The
club boasts of some fairly good players
and of few excellent ones who have
won cups on other courses.
One OF the most interesting features
OF the college girls golf club Is the
mixture OF the student and faculty
element. Ii Is an immense satisfac-

safes for many anxious moments in
the classroom. The match games are
occasions of great interest. The bull
letin boards fairly brlstle with these
notices, the players seem to live with
their clubs. and the corners OF the reel
tation halls are stacked with caddy
bags, while the back campus serves as
n practice green, and putting contests
are inaugurated by the aid of the will
ing gardner, who lends a flower pot
from the conservatory to take the
place of the regulation hole In tl.s
centre OF the green.
Despite the growing interest in golf.

girls, and the tournaments are the

where Married Women vote.

AS the result of an act recently
passed In New Zealand, the electoral
list in the cities and boroughs has
been enlarged, and now includes every
freeholder, every one who pays rates
and every one who pays rent of at
least $50 yearly. The wife of any
man thus qualified Is entitled to a
place on the electoral list. The effect
of this measure will be to give prac-
tically every married woman vote
on such matters as lighting, drainage,
water supply, fire prevention, santa:
ton, prevention of nuisances, inspec-
tlon of milk and dairies, the pulling
down of unhealthy dwelling houses,
the prevention of overcrowding. cree
tion of workers dwellings, the beau
tifylng of towns by planting, provid-
ing for recreation, the establishing Of
technical schools. the aiding of mu-
seums and libraries. and the preyen-
tion or regulate y of Sunday entertain
ments. The III .nagements of hospitals
and charitable aids are in part under
the city councils and boroughs, giving
the women of New Zealand
field of activities and influence.

Energetic Love,nakipc in Janon.

Strange suits are filed at times in
the Japanese law courts, but none
more curious than one which is now
before the local court of Usuki- -Machl
in the Oita prefecture. In this case
a cultivator brings an action In which
he seeks to have the court compel n
japanese girl to reciprocate the af-
fection which he alleged he has de-
monstrated toward her, with her con
sent, for several years. He has wooed
the lady, he declares. since 1897. and
she has recently looked with favor
upon him and accepted baked sweet
meats" ut his hands. She invited him
to her house few days ago, and after
partaking Of various delicacies at his
expense, slipped away and left him 10
be unceremoniously kicked out by her
friends. On these grounds he prays
for the intervention of the court to
compel her to return his love. The
Judge is taking time to consider the

POLICEMEN MADE FROM THIEVES.

Proverb.
The highest qualification that po-
llceman can have is that he is an ex-
pert thief He has been trained In
schools of thieves, and can detect In
every burglary or outrage by its de-
tails to which school of crime the per
petrator belongs. But he Is only
thief wearing official clothes, and he
merely catches enough thieves to save
himself beating and then he selects
strangers or those who have failed to
give him his proper share of the plum
der from his own district. When a
police officer has made his deal with
a thief or gang nothing short of awful
tortures by his superiors. the local
magistrates and judges, will cause the
policeman to capture the gang who are
making his fortune as we'll as their
own.
In certain towns. not thirty II
from Pekin. live some highly respect
ed men of wealth. noted for their cor
rect lives, their virtue and probity.
Their houses are castles, and they
have many servants. Once or twice n
year they go to visit their Friends in
pekin. During their brief stay are
committed some daring and successful
robberies, always in the houses of the
rich, and articles of great value are
taken. The victims are peacefully
drugged by the perfume of burning
anesthetic, which the thief avoids by
filing his mouth with cold water and
taking little breath. Quickly. by the
aid of his fire-pan, he locates the gold
and precious stones. and then he van
ishes into the night and leaves no
trace to the vulgar gaze of his COM
ing and going.
These are the great thieves, and
they are rarely caught. They work
alone and in evil deeds they follow
the Scriptural advice to charity, LET
not thy left hand know what thy right
hand Is doing" l asked a Chinese
magistrate why the police did not pay
visit to the palaces of those great
men of probity and virtue. But he
shook his head. 1t would be q rash
thing to do. There are stories that
when the police have tried they either
found nothing but an indignant man
of such virtue that his outcrles aroused
the neighborhood, and the minions of
the law had to flee, or every police
man disappeared, and rumor has 1t
that the castle courtyard in that vii
lage is their tomb.-Leslie's Weekly.

The Growing Indifference to Wealth.

An interesting fact that one encoun-
ters Is that strong men care less and
less for wealth. 1t becomes a mere
counter in the game that they play
for power or for sport, and oftenest
of all from sheer habit. Having once
begun the game they suffer ennui If
they stop 1t is here that our highest
educational problem is-to train strong
men to cultivate their souls" without
losing their vigor.
And the truly cultivated man, the
strong man who has both benevolence
and the higher resources of mind and
character-such man soon discovers
that 1t is no longer necessary to be
rich. To such man The accumulation
of great wealth for his personal enjoy
ment is a sheer waste of energy. A
right and wellbalanced philosophy
will emerge in due time from our
boundless activity, and we shall see
sound culture give balance to our
stronger personalities as it now
sweetens chiefly those that are less
strong.-The Worlds Work.

As to Summer Furnishing.

In the furnishing of summer cottages
the keynote is coolness and the alb
sence of color. Pale blues, simmer
ing greens and faint lavenders alter
nate with white in the selections for
the seaside and the mountain home.
Rooms which lack sunlight may be
cheered by lavish use of yellow, in
its various shades; but other apart
ments will be best adorned by those
indetermlnate and finely toned tints
which do not proclaim their presence,
and are a good foil for the outdoor
splendor of garden. fields and sky.

peculiarly charming. When the dais-

brush. towel and half a blanket

recorded that his luggage contained
tooth brushes or towels or blankets.
Hannibal invaded Italy with no heavy
baggage of that sort. Julius Caesar
made Gaul a Roman province without
burdening his transportation train

no mention of such luxuries In the
