stnte Approorintinnn-

The various state institutions are
preparing to ask the legislature for APP
preparations aggregating SG,500000,
the largest single item being the esti-
mate of $79J,0J0 for the state uni
yerSity. Unless the legislature con
siderably prunes these estimates. and
unless some additional sources of rev
enue for state purposes are secured.
the tax levy for the years 1904 will
likely exceed that of $500. 7SS 60 for
the years 1902. But with the gov
ernor, the Acknowledgements and
others urging economy. the appropria-
lions asked for are likely to be scaled
down.

Surprised Card Party.

Three civil engineers while travel
ing from Amiens to Paris began to
play cards on an apparently aban-
doned lunch basket Of large dimen-
sions, which had been lying on the
hat rack.
II appeared to be rather heavy, but
they supposed it to be full of plates.
The basket was placed on end and a
leather portfolio placed on the top to
form table.
Suddenly they were startled to hear
loud cries, which came from the bas-
ket. 1t was opened, and a three
months-old baby was found inside.
The baby was neatly dressed, and
bore q card, on which was written
ITO be delivered to Nine. Forsey,
Creuil."
The three men did their best to
keep the child quiet until the train
stopped at the next station. Ii was
Creuil, and there respectfully
dressed woman came forward and
claimed to be the owner OF the baby.
1t appears that the child had been
put out to nurse near Boulogne. Not
having received any pay, the nurse
had adopted this way of sending the
child back to its mothec.-London
Express.

THE GAME OF GOLF.
How Exercise May be Dangerous for
AGED BEGINNERS.


The sheer that golf is a game
only for those not agile and venture
seine enough for games of greater
danger has long ago faded from golf
criticism, and now 1t has actually
come to pass that golf is arraigned as
a game dangerous for men who may
be described as aged" 1t is said
that if man all through his life has
followed sedentary habits, allowing
his muscles TO become weak and
fabby, particularly those muscles in
the region of the heart, golf may very
easily prove too severe a strain fer
his system. But in the pages of a
golf journal this view is partially criti-
cised by one who did not begin the
game till he was very near the neigh
borhood Of sixty. He declares that II
Is matter Of beginning gently, and
he tells us that in his own case he
does rot find two rounds a day par
ticularly exhausting. At the same
time he confesses that he has always
been an enthusiast for outdoor eXer-
else, and is inclined to think that for
a man who has never taken physical
exercise-rather rare experience
1t may be a little exhausting to begin
with. 1t is all matter of not over
doing 1t at first. but, unfortunately. so
attractive Is the game that the Oldest
beginners are tempted to go in for 1t
rather more vigorously than is wise.
The result Of all this latest pother
seems to be that like everything else
In life it is wisdom at the outset &c
"go slow" and this is verdict that
aged beginners" should lay to heart.
