siderable comment among bird-lovers

the robin is white. Many Bangor peo-

THE GOLF FIG URE.

Awhile ago the bicycle face was fa- nous. The people of this pleasure-lov- ing country seem to have survived it, and now, 1t appears, new deformity is on their trail. Dr. J. G. Rossmore, a young practicing physician of Atlanta, Georgia, has made the discovery that golf playing is in many cases respon- sible for stopping shoulders and turned-in toes. He says: The game, which is played in Atlanta probably more than in any other part of the United States, makes its devotees pigeon -toed, for there are strokes, as you know, that can only be well deliv- cred when the toes point in. Cause and effect follow closely-the golfer turns his toes in. This Is especially true, I've noticed, In the case of women golfers. Their ankles are not so strong as mems, and are, therefore, more easily put out of kink.
 Well, if this is true perhaps golf is worth it. Anyhow, those who play it devotedly will think it is. And perhaps a part of the people willbe so busywith work, baseball or s5mething that they will escape the gei1 figure.

NOT JUST RfGHT YET,

Municipal ownership of public utili- ties isn't quite as glorious as 1t used to be, although the theory of it is still dear to many who are trying to save the modern Sodoms and Gomorrahs One of the latest wipes it has got has been delivered in the city of New York. The reports show that New York did not do well for itself when it took over to it's own management the Staten island ferry. It is alleged that the ferry is losing the taxpayers of the city of New York $596 day, or over $22 an hour, as regular thing. The loss will aggregate $195,64O year. The service is declared to be no better than under private management, although more hands are employed, better wages paid and shorter hours required.
 Sad enough. It is pity that men cannot yet govern themselves very well. If, in addition to the cloud on municipal ownership of public utilities it should be discovered that the initia- tive and referendum can't be depended on to save the race there would indeed be gloom until sonie new and hopeful theory dispelled it.

A RABBI DEFENDs DIyoRtyE

Divorce was characterized as an ex- ample of growing tendency toward democracy by Rabbi Charles Fleisch- ner, of this city, in an address before an organization of shoe salesmen here last night. Rabbi Fleischner said:
 Divorce is not sign of degeneracy of the race, but it is an example of the growing tendency toward democracy in all relations of life. It is now often said that the prevalence of divorces argues a lessening regard for marriage. l don't believe 1t. Divorce to me means that those resorting to it have come to realize the new spirit of self insistenoe that Is an element of democ. racy. It is an evidence of the growing regard for marriage as a social and even sacred institution, and the old maid who refrains from marriage be- cause of her inability or ill-success in finding partner suitable to her and those who break the bonds of rlatri- mony for decent reasons are not to be decried, butt are the pioneers whose ac- tions are contributing toward the es- tapllshment of higher standard.
 Tn those unions where the male is an autccrat and the woman a demo- crat, there are but three solutions to the marriage question. Either the wo- man must commit a mental suicide, se- cure a divorce or exist in a hell on earth. do not want to give you the idea that l believe in divorce, for I do not, and I don't want to encourage it. But in some cases 1t seems to be the working out of a democratic spirit. When complete incompatiblity exists in married life there Is no other satis- factory outcome than divorce, and it is then a sign of health and not a sign of disease in the body polite.

Enough ships must be provided to meet the requirements of fort nightly service and maximum subsi- dy of $2S,000 gold for each round trip, or $56,00O per month in contract for ten years, is guaranteed. A penalty clause provides for a fine of $500 gold for each hour the steamers are over due, and for a deposit of $40,G00 gold, with each tender returnable in the event of non-acceptance. One of the articles stipulates that the steamers are to be at the option of the govern ment for purchase in time of war and at price fixed by expert surveyors, to which is to be added 10 per cent. Six ty days notice of the tenders is to be given, and they win be opened April 15 at public session of a board of exam iners, composed of the Minister of the Navy, Finance Minister and the Gem eral Superintendent of Ports.

TRAVEL y.y EUROPE AND HERB

TRAVEL yy EUROPE AND HERE.
 Western business men are going to hold aconference in Salt Lake City to see f they cannot persuade their fel- low countrymen to do their travelling oil this side of the Atlantic, at least for while. Americans spent $19O000, 900 in Europe in 1904, and if that money had been paid to American railroads, hotels boarding houses, restaurants, theaters, cabmen, guides, hunters and mendicants, perhaps the stock market would have been even livelier than it has been.
 It is entirely true that United States folks don't travel enough in their own country, but 1t is also true that there are things worth seeing in Europe. As the Brooklyn Eagle puts it: We'll, the matter can be arranged, if the western people will agree to give to intending tourists what they obtain in Europe. In the first place, they simply must have ruins, and ruins are expensive to build; they must have cathedrals; they must have hotels where they do not serve pie for breakfast; they must have laws that enable guests to drink claret with their meals; they must dig up some musty traditions of kings and knights and minstrels, who never lived there; they must even have few kings on exhibition; they must have better streets; they must have good roads; suitable for walking, driving and mobiling; they must have a popu- lation that does not swear, swagger and carry revolvers; they must have poets, army officers, literary societies, academies, art exhibitions, opera, or chestras and difference.
 Of course the West cant do all this but what 1t can do is great and grand, and isn't enough seen by those who brag about it in Europe.

OTHERS LrTEIr AND THR1r1Nq

North America, or at least that part of 1t owned and occupied by the Uni ted States, is so lively and thriving that South America doesn't seem to be of much account compared with it.. And yet they are pretty lively and thriving in some parts of South Amer ica. For instance, in the Argentine Republic, where there is loud call for a ship subsidy to increase trade with Europe. Tenders have already been received, in response to the act of the Argentine congress, for the establish ing of the line of steamships to sail under the Argentine flag between La Plata river and European ports. Chili is directly interested, because, instead of going around the southern extremity of South America, or through the Straits of Magellan, vessels from Eu- rope and the United States would land their cargoes at Buenos Ayres and the portion of them destined to Chili would reach there by the Transandean rail- road, soon to be completed thus | e. priving Valparaiso, Tulcahuano, Con- cepcion, of much trade.

She Giggles

Sweet Mary is a charming girl, Or so Augustus thinks. She wears her golden hair a-curi In fascinating kinks; But oh, will some one tell me why, While still with life she higgles And all its solemn moments fly, She giggles? It matters not how dread the hour, How grave it's moments be; While others tears fall like shower Sweet Mary says Ire he!" And there are others of her kind; For instance, young Miss Mlggles, Who when she needs to air her mind Just giggles. I sat with Hamlet but last week, The melancholy Dane Brought tears to my unwonted cheek, So sore his woe and pain. "To be or not to be!' he cried,
 While Mary squirmed and wiggled, And when at last poor Hmalet died She giggled. Within the solemn house of prayer At functions or pink tea; Where Mary. goes--yet, everywhere She takes her te he he. If laughter's due, or daughters not, Her golden head she wiggles And, though there's pathos in the plot She giggles. I've thought full oft of Mary's case, Along life's thorny road. Why is her giggler out of place? And why does it explode? It is because her thinks won't flow, The while she writhes and wiggles' dare not say-I only know She giggles.

early history of Cape Cole


 e early history of Cape Colony,
 fe the first settlement had been Aiiade, 1t was the custom of the captains of passing ships to leave letters for Europe underneath large stones on the shores of Table Bay, to be called for by the next returning squadron. sev- eral of these "postoffice stones" have been discovered, and one is now in the entrance hall of the general postoffice in Cape Town. Another has just been found, built into the southwestern bas- tion of the castle. The stone must have been used in building the wall which was completed in 1879, or more than fifty years after the date of the inscrip- tion it bears. It records the stay in Table Bay of some English ships, the Lesser James and the Abigail.
