A REMARKABLE WATCH.

The descendants of Mary Setoun. one
of the four maids of honor to Mary
Queen of Scots, have in their possession
d curious watch, which was given by
that Queen TO her favorite. says the
Kansas City Journal" The watch.
which Is in the shape of a miniature
skull. is about two inches and a half in
diameter. It is supposed to have been
purchased by Mary herself when on a
visit to Blois with her husband, the
Dauphin Of France. as 1t has the name
of a celebrated Blois manufacturer en-
graved on it.
The entire skull Is curiously engraved.
On the forehead there is a picture Of
death, with the usual scythe and hour
glass. He is depicted as standing be-
tween a palace and a hoyeI, to show that
ne is no respecter of persons, and un-
derneath is the familiar quotation from
Horace, "Pallida mors aequo puIsat pede
pauperum tabernas regumQue turres.
AT the back Of the skull is another rep
resentation, this one being of time de-
vouTing everything. Time also carries a
scythe, and beside him is the emblem OF
eternity-the serpent with its tail in its
mouth.
The upper section of the skull is divid-
ed into two pictures. On one side is the
Crucifixion. with the Marys kneeling at
the foot Of the cross. and on the other
Side are Adam and Eve, surrounded by
animals IN the Garden of Eden
Below these pictures, running right
round the skull, there is an open-worl.
band, to allow the sound of the striking
OF the watch to be heard. The open work
Is series Of designs cUt to represent
the various emblems of the Crucifxion
such as scourges, the cross swords.
spears, the lantern used iia the garden.
etc All of the carvings have appro-
pirate Latin quotations.
By reversing the skull and holding the
upper part In the palm of the hand and
lifting the under jaw on It's hinges the
watch may be opened. and on the plat
inside is a representation of the stable
at Bethlehem, with the shepherds and
their focks IN the distance
The works of the watch are In the
brains of the skull. the dial plate being
where the roof of the mouth would be in
a real skull. This is of silver and gold
with elaborate scrolls, while the hours
are marked in large Roman letters The
works are remarkably complete even to
a large silver bell with a musical sound
which holds the works In the skull when
the watch is closed.
This curious old watch is still in per-
feet order. and when wound every day
keeps accurate time. 1t Is too large to
be worn. and was probably intended for

Remarkable GrOwth of
Golf in Last Decade
United States Association Ten Years Old
Yesterday-NearIyO One Million Golfers and
Nearly 1900 Clubs i'm America

The marvellous strides the royal and
ancient game of golf has made in the
United States is shown very clearly by
the growth of the United States Golf
Association in ,4.e past ten years
The association was organized on De-
cember y, 1894, and was ten years old
yesterday
National Organization.
Although the game of golf was in its
infancy in this country in the early
nineties, the necessity of forming a ma
tionaI organization was clearly seen by
the business men who had selected the
sport as a recreation. There we're only
a few clubs in the country at that time
devoting their attention TO golf, but the
fact that two championships were held
in 1894, one by the Newport Golf Club
and the other by the ST Andrews Golf
Club, each producing an amateur cham
pion for the country, caused consider
able comment and some amusement

clubs of the country, the Chicago Golf
Club. the Country Club, of Brookiine.

1t was decided that the regular annual
meeting should be held in February in
each year. At the spring meeting the
rules for the game of golf were adopted

abroad and that the American champion
