WAGERS BY GOLFERS.
some Difficult Fents Accomplished
by Scottish Players.
From The Westminster GaLltte.

Prom the Westminster Gazette.
The Scottish golfer who we read has
undertaken for a wager 10 drive a ball
mile in dozen consecutive shots has
probably set himself an easier task than
some Of his predecessors north Of the
Tweed
Among the most interesting wagers OF
this kind was one taken in the Burgess
Golfing Society as long ago as 17gS that
no two members could drive ball over
the spire Of st. Giles steeple. The feat
was attempted by q Mr.. Sceales, Of Leith.
and Mr.. Smellie, a printer. each being al
lowed six balls. and both competitors sue
ceeded in sending their balls well over
the weathercock, a height Of more than
l60 feet from the ground.
Some years later Donald Mclean.
writer to the Signet. won substantial
bet by driving a ball over Melville's Mon
ument in St Andrew Square. while sew
eral Scotsmen have performed the diff
cult feat OF driving the ball from Burnts-
field links 10 the top OF Arthur's Scat, a
species Of golfng steeplechase which re-
quires considerable stamina as well as
skill.

4 Rush-hnur OninIon

Il don't mind tho crowds" said the
Subway guard in New York. IF they're
just working people or business people.
We know we've got TO take care of them
and they know they've got TO make the
best Of it; but the women who go shop
ping and then go home during rush hours
I'D ike TO kill every one Of them"
Isn't that rather savage?''
mo more savage than they deserve.
They haven't a bit of consideration for
other people l don't think they have
much sense. either, or they wouldn't care
TO get into such jams. And about half
the time they have one to four children
with them. 1t takes them forever 10 get
on and of the trains and they take up
all the seats. OF course. a woman with
baby is always sure Of getting a seat.
no matter how tired the man Is who gives
II TO her. Sometimes l think that's why
they take the baby along Anyhow. they
could do their shopping a hours when
the rush is not on. There ought to be a
law compelling them 10, or else not to
shop az all"
Don put all the blame on the women.
Blame the company for putting on cars
with the exit and entrance at the same
place"
The guard grinned
Il amt paid wages for blamin' the
company" he explained. but anybody
that looks at the crowds can draw their
own conclusions about that"

Dentistry for Dogs.

FROM lN-bltS
Painless dentistry for dogs Is now as
highly developed as for humans in New
York. The operator needs four. five. or
even six assistants. according to the size
and energy Of the patient, even after CO.
caine has been applied. and often they
use gas If the patient proves to be too
much for them. But with dogs, as with
people care must be taken that the heart
is in good condition before the gas is ad-
ministered.
For filling dogs teeth gold, silver. and
platinum are used, and frequently. II the
filling Is very large and conspicuous. a
gold filling is used with a small diamond
inserted in the middle And If milady's
pet poodle has a tooth missing. particu-
larly one of the four front teeth. which
show when he smiles. a porcelain or gold
tooth can easily be substituted.
For the more pugnacious bulldog who
has an opportunity for all kinds OF war
fare whole row OF false teeth is some
times needed. This can always be done
so long as there Is a tooth on each end
TO whlch the false teeth may be fastened
Many dogs require to have their teeth
cleaned regularly. especially those who
live on bonbon diet.

lines Of which London and 81. Petersburg
were In accord. II may be stated in gem
eral terms that the result OF the COM
munication between the two governments
during the past few weeks has been %
round of certain points. and 10 produce
a general plan on which an agreement
may be regarded as a very likely outcome
IN the near future. The next step VIII be
RusSia's reply 90 the British note As 10
the exact course Of events following its

agency adds some uncertainty. There is
no foundation FOR the statement that an
international congress is likely TO be sum
moned 10 discuss Macedonian affairs. The
report 20 this effect IS doubtless based on
the probability Of the representatives OF
the powers themselves 10 discuss any new
reform scheme which may be drawn up.
EngIand's Example Followed.
Signor Rava's proposal 20 found an Ital-
ian archaeological school at Athens SINH
lar 10 those OF Great Britain and other
nations. has met with approval In Par
lament, largely on the ground that It
will put Italy on a footing with those
great powers. The argument Is apt 10 be
ignored in England but is fully appreci-
ated abroad. that archaeological schools
increase the national prestige
on the subject OF the Herculaneum ex-
cavations the minister was pressed 10
hasten the long-promised work. but his
reply was 10 the effect that detailed
programme was first necessary. and was
still under consideration. Meanwhile a
sum Of $4,000 has been set aside for the
preliminary Investigations. and Commen-
datore Boni. who has Just returned from
visit OF inspection at Herculaneum
says that in a months time the general
survey Of the ground 10 be eXcavated
will be completed. A series Of explora-
tions by means Of shafts will then fix the
level and extent OF the buried city. Com
mendatore Boni suggests that the posi-
tion Of the principal street should first be
ascertained and then the remaining topog-
raphy will be easier 10 settle. He does
not believe that the work Of excavation
will be so difficult as has been imagined,
because much OF the buried city is cover
ed with a material much softer than lava
OF which he showed some specimens. AS
the site is on a slope. the depth OF the
shafts would vary from twenty to sixty
FIVE feet.
Signor Boni who has been on an achaeo-
logical motor tour through Roman Africa
with Prince Borghese. has found at the
temple OF Timgad and at the supposed
mausoleum of Juba II traces OF augural
rites similar TO those which he recently
discovered on the republican walls OF
Rome. He has also paid another visit TO
the grotto of the Sibyl at Cuma, and OBJ
served that the entrance Of the grotto
contained bas-reliefs representing all the
tools employed there-the pick, the wedge,
and the mallet

They were i'm the police station just
for the moment and one Of them wanted
20 get to a telephone TO call a friend,
or something Of the sort. So he asked
the lieutenant behind the desk whether
he might use the station telephone. The
man on duty frowued gloomily and ma
jestically and said:

Rebuked. he fell back and hoped that
he hadn't offended. Suddenly the teic-

A BRC Bargain.

From Judy
A story is told Of Richard Brinsley
Sheridan that one day when coming back
from shooting, with an empty bag. and
seeing number of ducks in a pond.
while near by a man was leaning on a
fence watching them. Sheridan asked.
What will you take for a shot at the
ducks?'
Well" said the man. thoughtfully,
I'll take half a sovereign"
Done. said sheridan. and he fired into
the middle OF the flock, killing a dozen
or more. I'm afraid you made "A bad
bargain. said Sheridan, laughing
Il don't know about that" the man
replied. They're not my ducks"
