The stuffing process was ted ious one feather being inserted by hand at a time The pressure against the breast of the worker was so great that tuberculosis often resulted and Scotland would fain turn the manufacture back to Holland and save the health of her own subjects There are now innumerable kinds of balls with rubber cores, one that is filled with compressed air and another that has liquid In the center.

 Old Dutch tiles show that the game was played there long before the days of the Dlssenters or before Columbus had ever been born to later besiege the court of Spain for favor in his projected western voyage For centuries the game has been known in Scotland as "the royal and ancient game of golf, and royalty took to it early James ". is the first re- corded royal golfer, thonugh it is said that monarchs before him doubtless had much to do with the game.

James l. of England and VI. of Scotland took interest enough in the game to write in 161S against the importation of so many golf balls from Holland, and tradition has it that Charles I. was golfing on the links of Lelth in 1642 when the news reached him that his Irish subjects were in rebel lion In 1457 Scotland's parliament en- acted law prohibiting the playing of golf on Sunday, but it seemed of little use In 1491 a severer law with penalties at tached emanated from parliament and the law intimated that so much time was spent on golf that the nation was in dan ger of forgetting the use of the crossbow, a fact that would weaken it in time of war.

While Illinois visitors to the James

pay much attention to the mag

various buildings, some of the time
will certainly be devoted to the amuse-

while the familiar yet ever strange
music lends a foreign aspect to the
surroundings.
But the War Path is not all. There
are balloons in the aeronautical con-

among the clouds and take in the most
magnificent view of half hundred
nesting cities, broad rivers widening
and deepening into roads and harbors,
the great bay of the Chesapeake and
the long line of white foam betokening
the restless tide of old ocean. De

of vessels of every kind which ply
hither and thither among the battle
ships in Hampton Roads.
Then there are the military parades
and drills of thousands OF soldiers
from the national guard of the several
states and from the regular army in
the infantry, artillery and cavalry
