GOLF RATINGS OF
THE PROFESSIONALS

NEW YORK March 11.-Braid besides
winning the open championship with clear
lead Of four strokes. holds first place in the
professional golf of 1906 In Great Britain.
In this country Aleck Smith took all the
titles he started for except the Metropol-
ftan open which George Low took from
him by clever play. At match play Will
Anderson held the honors and Bernard
Nichols second place. both of whom de-
feated Aleck Smith during the season. Pro-
fessional golf in this country, although 1t
is becoming systekhatized. is still a weak
ling in comparison with the situation in
Great Britain. Possibly. including the open
championship. the professionals competed
but at links many days apart. for $2.JcO
during 1906 in this country. In Great Brit
ain there were sixty COMPETITIONS for the
professionals, besides the open champion
ship for about $4,000 in prize money.
AS has been the case since 1900. the larg
est proportion of the money has gone to
the quartet. Braid. Taylor, VardOn and
Herd. This is the way they ranked last
year. In 1908 Taylor led, and before that
for three years Harry Vardon was in front.
A fine performance last season by Braid
was to halye with Taylor at Westward Ho
after having been seven down. Against
rIaSlOr he won FOUR, IOSt Two ana naiVeO
two matches. while Braid won five times
from Harry Fardon without a defeat or a
halved match 1t was the first year that
Vardon had been so eclipsed by Braid.
Vardon won the only match he played with
Taylor and won two of five matches with
Herd. All told, as to the quartet, Braid
played fifteen matches won nine, lost four
and halved two. Taylor played eleven. win
ming four: Vardon played thirteen. winning
five. and Herd played seven. winning three.
1t is interesting to note the number and
the results of the matches among the quar-
tet for the years 1901 to 1906. The tabula-
ton as prepared by H. Ross Coubrough is:

Discussed Horned Rodent.

Mr.. James W. Gidley In an address be-
fore the Biological Society at the Cosmos
Club Saturday evening spoke upon "a
new horned rodent from the miocene of
Kansas" and in the course of his remarks
he said that during his work he had dis
covered skeleton of the rodent in a
miocene strata. According to Mr.. Gidley
it has two upright horns protruding from
the top of the skull and is about the size of
a woodchuck 1t bears a close resem-
blance to the mountain beaver of Califor-
nia the speaker declared. and is probably
the only rodent known to scientists which
wore horns.
Mr. W. H. Osgood. corresponding secre-
tary of the society. spoke upon the zoolog-
ical gardens of Europe. and the program
was closed with an address by Mr.. Charles
L. Pollard upon dictionaries and their re-
iations to biology.

Old Time "curl upv Skates.

Few of the present generation OF
skaters ever saw a pair of old fash
Toned "curl up" skates or know what
they are, but if they are native born
their parents or grandparents can
probably tell them about these old
time appliances for slimming over
the ice. The boys and girls of today
have quick fastening, light and hand
some skates, and in many cases keep
them attached to shoes that are used
only for skating and are put on at the
pond side.
In the old days straps for the Curl
ups" were unknown, leather thongs
or stout strings being used with a
sort of harness" to keep the skates
on the feet. The term "curl up comes
from the manner in which the forward
end Of the skate irons were curled,
extending over the toe of the foot.
Doubtless many of the old folks can
remember when the cheapest skates
consisted only of a wood bottom for
the foot and strip of metal for an
ice surface. These were Cheap" in
deed.-Hartford Times.

When people use the word "hered-
ity" they are very likely to mean some
dreadful bugaboo of supposed natural
law, which they have invited for them
selves, through which the poor human
race comes in for all the ailments and
Weaknesses of its forbears, with none
of the conpensations.
One hears constantly such phrases as
"her mother had consumption" or Ibis
uncle drank himself to DEATH" but
there is much less frankness in return
ing thanks for the physical benefits
that also come down so abundantly
from the past.
1t must not be forgotten that dis
eases are not directly inherited, but
only the tendency to them. This is a
very comfortable fact, for it constant
ly offers reward for well-directed
effort. If one knows from the start
which are the avenues open to danger
one Is forewarned and forearmed.
Those who have that knowledge will
not take the children in whose families
there have been many instances Of
tuberculosis and shut them up in stuffy
places or give them a diet containing
too little fat. They would be too wise
TO let the excitable child of nervous
parentage lead a life of overstl.nulation
or be pushed in Its studies, or to offer
sins of wine at the table to the small
boy whose father Is heavy drinker.
Just as a predispositlon to a disease
may be inherited, SO also may an abb
solute Inability to have 1t. One sees
this proved by persons who pass I'M
scathed through epidemic after cpl
demic. This shows that their Inherit.
ed tendenc ytoward the disease, If they
have any, is so much weaker than their
inherited resistance to 1t that they are
virtually unable to catch 1t.
Nature herself shows constant pref
erence for the normal, and is always
working to that end therefore ten
dcncy to disease is the punishment for
dlsobeylng her. Neither is she implac-
able, SO that If one will only work long
enough and hard enough to correct
ones mistakes there comes n time when
! nature gives clean bill Of health. 1t
would be tragic world indeed If only
