BOSTON WOMEN
WON GOLF TITLE

WEST NEWTON, ILass., October 13-Two
well-fought matches at the Brae Burn
Country Club yesterday landed Miss Mary
r. Adams of the Wolaston Golf Club of
Boston and Mss Harriet S. Curtis of the
Essex County Club. Manchester, Mass, in
the finals of the womcns national golf
championship. These two players. both of
whom are residents of Boston, will play an
eighteen-hole contest today for the title.
OF the two matches in the sem-tinals that
between Miss Adams and Mrs. X. II. Bar
low of the Merton club Philadelphia, was
the most exciting and well rewarded the
three or four hundred people who trailed
along after the players. Miss Adams won
on the seventeenth green. = up to play.
Miss Curtis was never headed in her con-
test with Miss Anita Phipps of the Spring
field (Mass) Country Club. and although
the latter came near catching her toward
the last, Miss Curtis won. also on the sew
enteenth green, up TO play.
Miss Adams outplayod Mrs. Barlow in all
departments of the game, but the latter had
an amazing amount of luck. and it was not
until the thirteenth hole that the Boston
player secured safe lead. Miss Adams out
putted and outdrove the Philadelphia play
er. but twice Mrs. Barlow laid her impossi-
BILE stymies. and twice Mrs. Barlow had
two of her badly played balls jump out OF
traps on to the greens.
In going to the fifteenth Mrs Barlow
sliced her second into the long grass. and
when she came up to play her third shot
she found ii resting underneath another
ball which some former player had lost.
Miss Adams permitted the lost ball to be
lifted. Mrs. Barlow got but little distance
her third. and Miss Adams won the hole
easily, to q. which made her dormie.
After Mrs. Barlow had won the sixteenth.
the seventeenth was halved, which gave
Miss Adams the match.
Miss Phipps in her match with Miss Cur
tbs was very nervous for three or four
holes. She sliced and pulled and missed
short puts. while Miss Curtis played like a
machine. Miss Curtis was 4 up at the sew
enth hole and up at the turn. Then Miss
Phipps began to play and cut down Miss
Curtis lead to l up at the fifteenth. Both
were on the sixteenth green in =. and Miss
Phipps missed a four-foor putt while Miss
Curtis ran down one of twenty feet, which
gave her the hole and made her dorm!e. In
going to the seventeenth Miss Curtis was
wide, but Miss Phipps was short on her APP

MOSQUITOES KILL PET BIRDS.
They Are Deadly Enemies OF Canaries
and Pigeons.

From the Baltimore American.
That. scores Of canaries, pigeons and other
birds in captivity in this city are the VIC
tins of the merciless attacks OF mosque
toes during the summer months is the Opin-
ion of many bird fanciers and those in a
position to know. 1t Is insisted by these
owners of -feathered pets that great num-
bers of birds become weakened and die
from the effects of having the life blood
sucked from their bodies by the insects at
night
at would be difficult to estimate the num-
Der of feathered pets which each year dle ne
in this city from the nightly attacks of
mosquitoes" said James A Graham,
canary fancier.
IT noticed several years ago that the legs
cracked and sore. Some of the birds had
died from some cause that puzzled not only
me, but some Of the best-posted bird men
in the city. All kinds of remedies were
and drop from their perches dead. 1t was
suggested to me finally that mosquitoes
might have been the cause at once set
to work to remedy the trouble. The cages
were covered with a net each night TO keep
the pests out and as an extra precaution
the legs of the birds were dipped in penny
royal, red cedar and other oils that are
known to be Objectionable to the mosquito.
The effect was really magical. In less
than week the birds began to sing, We're
active and began to show signs of renewed
health. My cages are now covered and Will
remain so until the last mosquito has taken
its departure"
Mr. Graham was asked if he thought the
insects could bite through the feathers Of
the canary
with perfect ease" was the answer. ut
is a well-known fact that all birds when
asleep during the hot weather open their
feathers to all the free circulation of the
air. This makes it easy for the long billed
mosquito to get in it's deadly work"
There is pest that compares with the
mosquito, SO far as the injury to captive
birds is concerned" said John Murray. an
the use of oils or other preventives on
the birds, the net over their cages having
met every requirement of the case and be-
ing the remedy attended with the least
trouble Whenever birds begin to droop
and die in the summer without any appar
ent cause you may rest assured that the
mosquito is getting in its work, and some
remedy must be promptly applied or 1t
will be too late.
finest lofts of thoroughbred carrier pigeons
in the city, said that the mosquito suggeS-
ton gave a satisfactory solution to a trou
BILE that has for years puzzled owners OF
captive birds in this city.
II have known whole lofts Of fine birds
to become puny and to actually drop from
their roosts without being able to assign
any reasonable cause for the trouble. The
suggestion of the responsibility of the
winged insect as the cause Is a perfectly
rational answer to the puzzle. have no
doubt in the world that the attacks of the
insects are responsible for the deaths of
scores Of pet birds in this city each year.
Young pigeons are, l have no doubt, very
susceptible to the poisonous bites.

A Birds Ball Room.

From the STRAND.
Dancing is by no means confined to quad
rupeds; it is the principal play OF many
birds.
Perhaps the finest of bird dancers is tho
South American cock o. the rock. These
birds have regular dancing places, lever
spots which they keep clear of sticks and
stones.
A dozen or more of the birds assemble
ground this spot. and then cock bird, his
scarlet crest erect, steps INTO the cehuer.
SPREADING his wings and tail, he begins to
dance, at first with slow and stately steps,
then gradually more and more rapidly until
he is spinning like mad thing. AT last
tired out, he sinks down, hops out Of the
ring and another takes his place.
Some of the quail tribe are great dancers,
and SO are the American sand NIL cranes
1t is a most ludicrous sight to watch
crane dancing; he is so desperately solemn
over the whole performance He looks ike
a shy young man who has Just learned 10
waltz and is rather ashamed of the accom-
piishment.

Individualism of the Farmer.
From the Century.

from the CENTURY.
Farming is virtually the only great series
of occupations. that Is unorganized unsyn-
dictated, unmonopolized, uncontrolled, ex-
cept that it is dominated by natural laws
of commerce and the arbitrary limitations
imposed by organization in other business
In a time of extreme organization and
subordnation of the individua the farmer
still retains his traditional individualism ana
economic separatenesS. His entire scheme
of life rests on intrinsic earning by means
of his own efforts If the farmer steps out
side of his own realm he is met on the one
side by organized capital and on the other
by organized labor He is confronted by
fixed earnings. What he himself secures
is a remainder left at the end Of years
business.
