All Society FIOCRS TO the Country Clubs

The links at the Chevy Chase
Club are probably traversed by
more famous men than any other
course in the country. Justice
Harlan, an enthusiastic devotee of
the game, often spends several
hours there before breakfast, and
Secretary Taft is also a frequent
visitor.
It is said that Secretary Taft
once, coming in from several
hours on the links, attempted to
weigh himself. and found to his
disgust that the scales only went
TO 800 pounds. Stepping down, he
was heard to growl something
about the 'advisability of having
scales for weighing men instead of
boys"
The Chevy Chase Club is also the
starting point as well as the gen
eral wind-up for the red coats. ="

QUEER SIDE OF JAPAN.
Odd Faith Exhibited In the MIkado's
CcinaItIs,

In Japan the lower orders Of life
not only make war and supply. meat,
but eYince other pecuIiarties that rem
der them invaluable eopeomitants OF
civilization. "A few days ago q num-
Der cfpeople were seen gazing intent
.ly toward the upper limbs Of 3 large
pine tree. Stopping to learn the 90
cret OF this unusual interest. a man
was observed descending the tree,
while q crow was furlously cawing and
beating about his head; then It was
seen that the ,trespasser had possessed
himself OF one Of her brood, an UMPIRE
possessing little chick that no one
could be imagined to fancy for pet.
Asked what he intended doing with
the young crow, he replied that It
made excellent medicine for the
blood: -Chi-nomichi-no kusuri." TO
use his exact words. To insure the
efficacy of the medicine, he explained,
the bird must be taken before II leaves
the nest, If possible. or, II 1t has left
the nest, before 1t gets to where II
can drink water; for, he asserted, II
1t has OF itself taken water, It loses
all virtue as blood-cure. The pro-
cess of preparing the remedy is, first,
to kill the crow and, without cleaning
1t, to encase the body In an air-tight
covering Of cement or clay. The
mould is then baked for two or three
days in a hot fire. When the clay
crust is removed, naturally the crow
will be found to be black, a lump OF
pure charcoal. This is pulverized and
converted into pills of the pink" or
der, which are very popular here as .
blood regulator. He reminded his In
terlocutors that the medicine was very
rare because Of the difficulty OF ind
ing a crow that had not taken water.
The man was perfectly sincere, and
appeared extremely proud Of his sue
cess in having secured the bird. he
was reluctant to leave the tree lest
there should be another one on the
ground somewhere.
Those who, since the brilliant
achievements Of the Japanese Red
Cross Society in the late war, are &C
customed to take for granted the ad-
vance Of medical science in this coun-
try, will, of course, bear In mind that
the practitioner under consideration
had not at this time, acquired member
ship in any legally recognized thera-
peutic fraternity; but probably his
nostrum was quite as effective as
much Of the medicine that is sold =
