business men could get along better
without their meals than without
th4ir newspaper, but the majority of
| people, after all, do not appreciate it
or value it as they would il it were
difficult to obtain. Many glance at
it and throw it down, and can no
more tell you what it contains than
| the man in the moon. If they put
an advertisement in they consider they
have done the publisher or proprietor
IA favor. They never stop TO think of
the amount of labor required TO get
out paper, they reckon not of the
expense entailed, they know nothing
of the daily and nightly strain on the
mental powers of those who get it
out, but If they don't receive their

to bring it to its present state of per-

epitome of the doings and happenings

philosophy, everything that conserves
the happenings and welfare of human

a good paper is subscribed for and
carefully read it will prove liberal

EXCESS IN GOLF.
An English Publication Feels Called
Upon to Sound q Warning Word.

Too. much time is spent over golf,
and men bring to bear on the game an
industry and a devotion to detail
which ought to be expended upon
more serious things. This kind Of
enthusiasm for a form Of recreation.
says the London Lancet, cannot be
regarded as merely a struggle to
maintain the standard OF physical
health on which mental health &C.
ponds. 1t must rather be locked
upon as immodcrate attention to L
fascinating sport and must be guard
ed against like any other form CT cx-
cess. 1t is an admirable thing in
golf-whicn We admit to be an excel
lent game even while we desire to
say a warning word against its cult
ha titcannot be played carelessly and
that assiduou$ practicei required aft
cr the position in the handicap list
that is somewhat ccntemptuously de-
scribcd as domestic twelve has
been reached. if a higher standard is
to be attained. IT. is exactly here that
golf proves, to our thinking: a pitfall
TO many men. Whatever is worth CO.
ing is worth doing we'll, is an axiom
that every thinking man must cordi-
ally indor$c. As no enc can play golf
really we'll without the sacrifice of
much time, the workingman is soon
brought to a parting of three ways.
Shall he leave off playing a game in
which he can only excel by much cx-
penditure of time? Or shall he con-
tinuetoplay moderately game which
he feels that he could, and he would,
play much better? Or shall he give
more thought than is right to what,
at best, is but laborious idlcncSs?
We hope that all our readers will take
the middle course. Let them reap
the undoubted good that is offered
to them by a break in their round of
toll and by brisk exercise on open hill
and heath, and let those of them who
are not brilliant opponents of golf
recognize cheerfully that excellence
can only come by the neglect of more
important things.

CREDULIIY OF THE HINDCo.
Sample Of the Decisions Which He
Occasionally Harbors.

Here is a remarkable instance Of
the credulity Of the Hindoo and the
wild kind of decisions which he &C.
caaonally harbors, says London
Truth. The writer is described as a
Hindoo gentleman of standing and
reputation, and this extract is taken
from a letter written to a gentleman
in England:
eve arc having awfully serious
news circulated in the papers here.
Extracts purported to be from the
Morning Leader Of London and La
Bon Guondia of Spain impress us
that the emperor on the coronation
day was dangerouslyillan and wasnever
really crowned, for the ministers
caused him to be personated' by a
beggar of Whitechapcl. We are real
" very concerned to hear it, and We
firmly believe the news to be a false
creation, but wonder why the gov
eminent is still inactive in regard to
taking any steps to punish the author
of so foul a calumny.'
The gentleman who sends me the
above extract gives come other
quaint examples of the amusing fc-
tions which gained currency among
the natives Of India. The bigger and
the more preposterous the lie, he says,
the more readily it is believed. When
the jubilee bridge over the Hoogly
was being built, the story got about
that the government required thou
sand heads of natives for the founda-
tion of the bridge, and had given or
ders that all natives walking over the
madam after dark were to be seized
and taken to the Sultan Khana (the
native name for the Masonic lodge),
where their heads were to be cut of
for use in the uncanny engineering
operation. The natives, it is said,
were afraid to walk in that direction
after dark for this reason.

HINDU SUPERSTITIONS.
Some of the Ridiculous Things That
Interfere with Progress.

A resident Of Dharmapuri. writing
on the subject of Hindu superstitions,
says the Madras Mail. says that a
married woman, a dancing girl. a mir
Tor and an ass-the most neglected of.
the Indian domestic animals-are
also among the first objects of good
omen" which a Hindu should meet as
500 as'he wakes from his sleep. A
Hindu does not stir out of his house
on any GRAND, not only during the
rahukaiam-an hour and a half a day
but also some time before it. Some
do not do any work during gulikaka-.
lum as well-another one hour and a
half a'dav. The correspondent does
not mention that in more advanced
countries some people make rakuka-
lam and gulikakalum last a great deal
longer. Besides these there are nat
chat lirams (stars(, of which therearc
26, Zach of which occurs every day.
"A particular natchathiram on a par
ticular. day is either good or bad. At
times an orthodox Hindu will not
have a good" day even in a fort
night: Even sneczing.i is inauspicious.
Instances are not art in which men
are prevented from attending their
office by sham sneezing. The espying
of a'male and a female crow together
means the approaching death Of the
observer. His fate may be ayertcd
by. writing a letter to some of his
relatives at a distance saying that he
is dead. The appearance of a rattle
snake at the right-hand side on a
journey is considered most lucky. A
Hindu will never feed a guest for the
first time on Sundays, Tuesdays OF
Thursdays-these days are supposed
to bringenmity between the host and
the, guest. A Hindu doctor will never
administer medicines to his patient,
even if he is very dangerously ill. for
the first time Cd any day other than
Sunday or Thursday. 1t is also laid
down that a Hindu should never sleep

of death, is supposed to live. East

OcULlSTS FOR SCHOOLS.
London Will Hereafter Have Experts
Look After Children's Eyes.

At a recent meeting Of the Len
don school board, over which Lolo
Reay presided, d report was presented
in which the general purposes com
mittee recommended the appoint
ment OF six oculists at a cost of 1915
per year, says the London Telegraph.
According to the medical officer, the
percentage of school children with
normal vision increased with every
year Of age and standard of advance
during school life, reaching so per
cent. with standard seventh. Ten
per cent. all through school life had
bad vision, and this remained about
a constant proportion. The percent
ages of-deiect appeared to vary more
with the social and nutritive condi-
tions Of. the children. and with racial
popularity than with any school con-
ditions, for school effects from fine
work and poor illumination were
more likely to show themselves in
general nerve strain and unhealthy
~neurotic, nutritional conditions than
in very defective visual acuity during
schoollife.
The medical officer further stated
that the selection of children whose
efficiency in school is damaged by
dirt, parasites, chronic diseases of
ears or impaired visual acuity is just
beginning. The treatment of all
these matters is tedious, has to be
thorough, but is a routine ofthe most
monotonous and uninteresting de-
scription The burden at present
falls on the hospitals. and they have
not yet adapted themselves to it.
Whether even with time they ever
car efficiently discharge this public
duty is at least doubtful. The vision
