Exaoperatins Punetuaiity.

There are people who conscien-
tiously believe themselves to be the
soul of punctuality because they are
always five minutes before the prop
er time. They are ready in the
drawing room quarter of an hour
before it is time to go into the din
ing room for luncheon. It is the
overpunctual, the "antepunctual,"
host who is attacked by brain fever
and who sends his guests to wait
twenty minutes or more stamping
up and down a country station plat
form so as to prevent them from
missing the train. To be always
five minutes ahead of the clock is
surely one Of the most exasperating
forms of SO called punctuaity i'm
aginable.--Londea Spectator.

Worship Of Welle.

Worship of wells was everywhere
common in England and Ireland
before the days of Christianity.
Even yet, in spite of the canons of
st. Anselm, issued in 1902 against
well worship, relics of it are found
in some English and Irish neighbor-
hoods. The third Sunday in May
is known as Sugar and Water Sun
day, it having been the custom for
many centuries in the north of Eng
land to meet on that day at the wells
ih the neighborhood to drink sugar
and water, ceremony at which the
village girls were supposed to 1T? the
hostesses of the young men. When
this had been done, the party gen.
orally went to the nearest inn, where
the young men returned the hospi-
tality they had received with cakes,
ale and punch.

"Spoon Bill" Idiots.

The late Professor Laycock of
Edinburgh university used to divide
idiots into two classes-poverty
idiots and luxury idiots. The for
mer were characterized by physical
deformity and the latter by refined
and delicate configuration, small
heads and great prominence of the
central region of the face. The lux
ury idiots, whom he traced to indo-
lence and self indulgence through
many generations with breeding in
and in, he called also "spoon bill'
idiots and used to point out that
they were of the type represented
as aristocratic noodles. There was
less breeding in and in among the
upper classes than there used to be,
but he himself did not doubt that
exemption for number of genera
fions from any participation in the
struggle for existence, with high
feeding and effeminacy, tended to
induce mental weakness of special
type.-London Telegraph.

There is all the difference in the

kills for the sake of killing, She
plays on mans vanity to satisfy

want you to take her seriously. She
wants fun, innocent fun, and if you

her for what she is worth she may

TALL, THIN AND MUSCULAR.
The American Typo Of Nan Clearly
Distinct From All Others.

Distinct From All others.
There is as distinctive O type of
american manhood as there is of
! any other country. True, the Amer
lean people are q mixture. We COM
bine several different races and
bloods. But the intermixtnre has
gone on SO gradually, the original
American type always prevalent,
that the American man is q distinct
representative Of civilization, diff
fering from the Englishman, the
Frenchman and the German as
much as these differ from each
other.
Examination Of the portraits of
Revolutionary times and those of
the present date show little if any
difference between the men of the
earlier times and those of the pres
ent day, save in the matter of at
tire. Dress the people of the pres
ent day as were the people of the
Revolutionary epoch appareled, and
nothing could be found to establish
notable difference between the
American of today and the Ameri-
can of the last quarter Of the eight
eenth century. Food, climatic con-
ditions and occupations have all
much to do with the physical pc
culiarities of q people. The races
that have for centuries received no
admixture of foreign blood retain
peculiarities that seem unchangea-
BILE.
What people eat and drink, their
dwelling places, the soil and climate
they inhabit, their worship, amuse-
ments and work all determine looks.
The American Indian when first met
OF this continent by adventurous
Europeans lived almost exclusively
on meat and flesh diet, the prod
uct of chase and other adventure.
He was tall, thin, muscular and dar-
ing. His eye was bright, his hear
ing acute. He looked the fearless
being that he really was. He had
to fight wild beasts and savage man.
He feared neither. The early white
settlers, obliged by the peculiar con-
ditions of pioneer times to live in
measure like the Indians, became
also tall, thin, muscular, daring.
Their eyes flashed with the fearless
ness that characterizes the Ameri-
can race of the present.
We have more generous and va
ried diet than our ancestors. Diet
affects personal appearance in
marked degree. We are becoming
larger and heavier race, but the dis
tinctive features of a century or
more ago are still in evidence. The
American is easily recognized every
where he goes in foreign lands. He
will for long time present the same
type that today distinguishes him
from men of all other races.-Louis-
vile Herald.

SEA MONSTERS.
Some unfanil ar Ocean Giants Of
h'd,ous Aspect.

n'otouS aspect.
Of all the big game of the deep
sea that have been taken by man
the cuttletish are the most diabolical
in shape and general appearance,
says the Metropolitan Magazine. I
have handled and measured one that
was thirty-eight feat in length, a
weird, spiderlike creature with two
antennaelike arms thirty feet in
length. Specimens of these animals
have been caught seventy feet in
length, the captors fighting them
with an ak, cutting the arms which
seized and held the boat.
Off the coasts Of Califesnia and
Alaska there is deep sea ally Of
this animal-a big, spiderlike octo-
pus that haunts the deep banks,
Pceying upon the fishes most es-
teemed by fishermen. It is found
off the Farralones on rocky bottom,
and at times the fishermen haul in
their lines, thinking they have foul
ed a stone or rock, 80 heavy is the
weight. But when the surface is
reached long, livid arms shoot above
the water, seize the boat, and the
men arc forced to fight with knives
and hatchets the weird, uncanny
game that has radial spread of thir-
ty feet, ~ eight sucker lined arms
being fifteen feet in length and pos
sessed of extraordinary power. \
specimen taken off the island of San
Clemente had a spread of about
twenty feet and gave the boatmen a
hard battle to sever its flying arms.
Nothing more diabolical can be
conceived than this spiderlike giant
OF the deep sea, living among the
rocks 600 to 1000 feet below the
surface. An individual of moderate
size, which I kept alive, displayed
the greatest pugnacity. The mo-
ment | approached it would literally
hurl itself at my arm, winding it's
long tentacles about it III a manner
suggestive of what large individual
might do. Indeed DR.. A. S. Pack
ard, professor of zoology at Brown
university, says: can Indian wo-
man at Victoria, Vancouver Island,
in 1877 was seized and drowned by
an octopus, probably of this species,
while bathing on the shore. Smaller
specimens on coral reefs sometimes
seize collectors or natives and, fas-
tening to them with their relentless
suckered arms, tire and frighten to
death the hapless victim"

WOMAN HAPPIER THAN MAN.
She Has tho Faculty of Enjoyment to

a Greater Degree.
Women have better time in life
than men do. Under no circum-
stances would / choose to be a man.
If had chance to come to earth

were given the choice should with
out hesitation elect to be woman,
writes Angela Morgan for the New
York World. Women know how to
get the finest flavor from life. They
know how simply because they are
born to it, not because they acquire
the knowledge through effort.
10 draw the real essence from liv-
ing one must be endowed with these
qualities: Imagination, intuition,
sensibility and the capacity to love.
Women possess all these requisites
to greater degree than men. For
this reason women can lay hold on
the subtler enjoyments of life. And,
as the subtlest enjoyments are the
best and most lastinG it is the wo-
men who have monopoly of real
happiness in life. 1t is in her ca
pacity to love that woman expert
ences hergreatestjoys. Woman gets q
vast deal more out of love than man.
Show ME the man to whom love
means one-tenth that it does to a
woman! When man loves, the cx-
ternal scenery of life does not
change visibly to him. Life does not
become thing bcwitchcd and gild-
ed. His days and hours and mo-
ments are not permeated by love as
an influence. Love to man means
an exhilarating chase for possession.
A woman pleases him, captivatcs
him, and he wants her for his own.
In possession, he finds certain
pleasure-a certain pride and salts

sort of happiness woman extracts

A PICTURESQUE SIGHT.
The Odd Promenade That Is q Custom,
In All Mexican Cities.

The Odd Promenade That Is q Custom
In All Mexican Cities.
Every Mexican town can boast of
her Alameda and band. In the
afternoons of Sundays and feast
days and usually Wednesday even
lngs the bellies and beaus of the
place gather and promenade. q They
have no more curious custom than
this, nor is it likely that it has q
parallel anywhere else in the world.
The men form a long line of two
abreast and circle around the outer
edge of the park, and the women in
similar ring, revolving, as it were,
within the other, walk slowly around
In an opposite direction. In this
way every Romeo will see his Juliet
several times in the course of the
evening and exchange glances with
her, may even find opportunity for a
hurried whisper. It is picturesque
sight, for all classes are to be found
In the procession. For the most
part the men wear che national en-
broidered jacket ard breeches of
leather, great cloth sombrero and
high heeled boots or shoes, with ri
diculously pointed toes. The ex-
planation Of this distressing custom
must lie in the equestrian traditions
of the country.
At 4 o'clock the crowd begins to
line the sides of the Puerte de San
Francisco and other streets leading
to the Passeo and wait for the car
riages which at this hour form in
procession and proceed at slow and
dignified pace along a never varied
route. They are filled with the
glowing beauties of the mixed Span
ish and Indian blood. To see them
in their highest perfection they say
one must journey to Jalapa. ''La
Ciudad de la Flores" it takes it's
name as much from its beautiful
women as from its profusion of or
chids, growing in the public streets.
The bellies of the city are wondrous-
ly beautiful in their dark and grace
full fashion as they wave their fin
gers in salute to their waiting ad-
lnirers on the curb.-Lee w. Zeigler

Tho Barn Owl.

The barn owl richly deserves a
conspicuous place in the gallery of
feathered criminals. During the
daytime he hides himself in the
darkest place to be found, but when
the sun has set he spruces up and
sets out on a murderous. expedi-
ton. The barn owl strikes terror
into the ranks of rats and takes q
keen delight in torturing his vic
Tins. His one idea of comfort
able home is realized in a gloomy
knot hole of an old tree, and the
oaly occasion on which he is known
to display any temper is when the
young are disturbed. IF it were not
Tor killing rats that he does not in
tend to eat, the barn owl could be
classed as very mild and inoffen-
sive petty criminal, for he never at

THE FIRST GOLF BALLS.
They Were Made of Bulls Hide Stuffed
With Feathers,

with Feathers.
The first golf balls were made of
leather of untanned bulls hide, two
round pieces forming the ends and
a piece for the middle. These pieces
were softened, shaped and firmly
sewed together, small hole being
left through which the feathers
might afterWard be inserted. Z,
Before stufing the leather sphere
was turned outside in-an operation
not without its dificulties-su that
the seams would be on the inside.
The skin was then placed in "a
cup shaped stand, the worker hay
ing tho feathers in la@ apron before
him, and the stufiing was done with
a steel rod.
This was very hard work, as may
be imagined. The aperture was then
closed, the Seam sewed up, and the
only seam showing was this tiny
one.
But the life Of each ball was short.
The seams soon opened, and the
feathers protruded. On wet day
the water would be seen driven off
in shower every time the ball was
struck.
And the moisture added to its
weight, SO that ball that started
as 9 twenty-eight would soon weigh
a pound. If the match was an i'm
portant one new ball must be put
down at each hole.
With these disadvantages one can
see that new kind of ball was much
needed and made many converts to
the game.
Although the gutta percha ball
used on the links is seemingly per-
feet, the inventor is busy trying to
make one even better. The ball
made of this material has been in
use since 1948.
A golfer of that period expert
nented with q piece of india rubber
and succeeded in fashioning it into
shape. But when it was put into
use it was found that it was not q
success.
It would leave the club all right,
but after going a short distance it
would duck down, SO its use was
abandoned.
The caddies amused themselves
with the discarded invention until
it was pretty well nicked up. 10
the surprise of everybody the ball,
with the addition of the cuts, could
sail through the air much better
than the old one.
The next mold was nicked to give
the gutta percha sphere the same
lines, and this, with one improve
ment after another, is the ball in
use today.-New York Journal.
