CANADA HOME OF GOLF.
First Club i'm North America Found
ed ut Montreal.

First Club in North America Found
ed ut Montreal.
As in the case Of that other great
Scottish sport, curling, the honor of
having founded the first golf club in
America belongs to Montreal, the Cana
dian metropolis, says Recreation. Early
in the '70s of the last century a Mr..
Sidney, a well-known golfer and curler
of his day. approached the Caledonian
society of Montreal, whose charter pro-
vides for the encouragement of Scot
fish sports among other things, with
regard to the desirability Of forming a
golf club in Montreal. Nov. 4, 1873,
saw the Montreal Golf Club founded.
4 course was laid out on the side OF
Mount Royal, the eminence from which
the city derives its name, and a club
house was built. Mount Royal is
public park, but arrangements were
made with the authorities for the use
of the course and ever since then, year
after year. the course has been kept
up at considerable expense, until at the
present time it is one of the brightest
freshest and most wholesome looking
stretches of Mount Royal. To perpetu-
ate the memory of the man who had
been mainly instrumental IN the found
ing of the club a hole was named after
him and when in later years the club
took up fresh quarters at Dixie, on the
shores of Lake st. Louis, the same
thing was done on the new links. In
1884 the Montreal Golf Club, through
the intercession of the Marquis of Lans-
downe, the governor general of Canada
at that time, with her late majesty
Queen Victoria, obtained the privilege
to assume the affix "royal" and to be
known thereafter as the Royal Mon
treal Golf Club.

ANIMAL PSYCHOLOGY.

The new Institute of Geological Psy-
chology has plant on a farm in the
neighborhood of Paris. The exact To-
cation, the New York Suns CORE
spOndent says, is kept secret, to avoid
hindrance to the work by crowds of
merely curious visitors. The property
includes meadows and barn-yards, q
wood of considerable size, and a large
pond stocked with fish. There are
spacious buildings, including modern
stables, a riding school, stalls for iso-
lating animals under special observa-
tion, an aquarium and a laboratory.
On the roof of the main building is a
dOve-cote.
How far the desire to study the
habits OF living creatures under nat
ural conditions may be carried is illus
trated in the fact that a complete div
ing apparatus has been provided IN
which observers descend to the bottom
of the pond. There they remain for
hours, until the fish become accus-
toned to their presence, and follow
their natural impulses in playing and
feeding. The student is thus enabled
to note their habits at first hand.
The other extreme of observation is
the construction of sheltered platforms
in the branches Of trees, where stu
dents sit through the night armed
with an electric fiashlight to watch
the doings of owls, bats and noctur-
nal insects.
One of the conclusions reached by
the students of the institute is that
some animals possess a special sense
by which they can detect the presence
of water even though they cannot see
it. The experiments were undertaken
at the suggestion Of David Allen, q
resident Of Australia and a CORE
spending member, who wrote to the
institute of his experiences with sheep
and cattle when being driven across
country. In a place where the pres
ence Of water was wholly unexpected,
he says, 1.-THE leading animals would
suddenly lift their heads and draw long
breaths. Then they would abandon the
beaten tracks and start running
through the brush" Sometimes they
would run a mile and a half to two
miles, and could not be stopped by the
drivers, their course invariably leading
TO a pond or spring hitherto unknown.
The experiments were made on a
water-rat. First its eyes were blinded
by a bandage, and then it was placed
In turntable, which was whirled round
until all sense OF direction must have
been obliterated. Upon being released
without a moments hesitation 1t started
directly for the pond, several hundred
yards distant.

COUGHS AND THE NOSE.

MANY Stubborn Cases Due 20
Trouble in Nasal FOssae.
There are people who have a stub
born cough which lasts for months and
years and which the more ratonaI
treatment is unable to cure. This was
the case with a woman, Of whom M.
Lermozey, of Parts, recently reported
his observations to the Soc1ete Med1-
Gale DIES Hopitaux, and who coughed Tor
eleven years without anyone being able
to cause this infirnity to disappear,
until one day, after an examination
Of her nose, the ablation of polypt cur
ed 1t suddenly and definitely.
A cough with a nasal origin, there
fore exists which may be more frequent
than one is led to believe. 1t Is, NJ.
Lermozey says, generally termed
nervous cough. This term is at the
same time an error in diagnosis and
leads to an insufficient treatment.
The nasal cough occurs when two
morbid conditions are realized stimuli
taneously; these are an exaggerated
sensibiIity of the mucous membrane OF
the nose and local cause Of irritation.
This local excitant may be either hay
fever or a polypus in the nose.
Nasal coughs have certain character
istics which may serve to render them
recognizable They are dry, conVulsiVe,
progressive, irresistible.
What often deceives as to the cause
of these fits Of coughing IS banal'
subjective illusion. The sufferer from
nasal cough feels that it is caused
by a pricking sensation in the larynx,
and on the contrary, notices no tickling
in the nose.
systematic examination Of the
nasal fossae of all people who cough is,
therefore, necessary. Sometimes
large lesion is found in them, floating
nolypi which irritates the mucous mem
hrane. sometimes the latter seems nor
NAL. but at certain points cough-produe-
ing zones are found which are revealed
by two complimentary signs: produc-
tion of the cough by the Irritation OF
the said zones, suppression OF the
cough by the cocainization Of the zones.
The diagnosis of the nasal origin Of
cough considerably attenuates its prog
nosis. This cough when not recognized
continues almost indefinitely; when
recognized 1t gives way almost always
TO a rational local treatment, and some
times disappears with astonishing rap
idity.
Thanks are due to NJ. Lermozey for
calling attention to the role, scarcely
suspected until now, by which the
mucous membrane Of the nose plays in
the persistence of certain coughs; and
in case Of need recourse will be had to
the therapeutieal means which this
knowledge ndicates.-Paris Edition OF

Tired of Play.

Tired of play Tired of play!"
What hast thou done this livelong day.
The birds are silent, and so is the bee;
The sun is creeping up steeple and tree;
The doves have flown to the sheltering
caves,
And the n, SITS are dark with the dropping
leaves;
Twilight gathers and day is done
How hast thou spent it, restless one?
"Playing?" but what hast thou done be-
side
To tell thy mother at eventide?
What promise Of morn is left unbrokenf
What kind words to thy playmates
spoken?
Whom hast thou pitied, and whom for
given?
How with thy faults has duty striven2
What hast thou learned by field and hill,
By greenwood path, and by singing rilIF
There will come an eve to a longer day
That will find thee tired-but not Of
playl
And thou wilt lean, as thou leanest now,
With dropping limbs and aching brow,
And wish that the shadows would faster
creep,
And long to go to thy quiet sleep.
Well were it then, if thine aching brow
Were as free from sin and shame as now
Well for thee, if try lip could tell
A tale like this, of day spent well.
If thine open hand hath relieved distress,
If thy pity hath sprung to Indebtedness,
If thou hast forgiven the sore Ofense,
And humbled thy heart with penitence;
If natures voices have spoken to thee
With her holy meanings eloquently;
If every creature hath won thy love,
From the creeping worm to the broodins
dove;
If never a sad, low-spoken word
Hath plead with thy human heart un-
heard
Then. when the night steals on, as now
1t will bring relief to thine aching brow,
And with joy and peace at the thought
of rest,
Thou wilt sink to sleep On thy mother'a
breast.

"Slip on this glass mask" said the
foreman. "You will need it."
The visitor donned the uncanny mask
Of glass, and the foreman led the way
to the cyanide of potassium depart
ment, says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
'sWe make 1900 tons of cyanide a
year." he said. "A dose Of five grains
is fatal. Thus our annual production
is enough to kill 100000 persons"
He-0pened a door and a room filled
with writhing flames, dense shadows,
sparks, smoke and weird figures in
glass masks was revealed. In the cen
ter Of the room in great caldron, 100
pounds Of molten cyanide Of potassium
dubbed and seethed. The flames Lint
ed strangely on the glass masks.
The foreman coughed.
'SThese fumes he said, 'are whole
some. The men, you see, are all ro-
bust. I have known weakly chaps
working here among these strange
fumes to pick up health and strength"
In another clean, cool room the fin
ished cyanide was stored. It looked
like crystallized white sugar, good
enough to eat.
Good enough to eat" said the fore
man gravely. "Well, we have had men
eat it. Four men committed suicide
in that way.
'sThe fumes seem to create in our
men a desire to taste the drug. They
fight this desire, most Of them success
fully, but they all feel it, the same as
workers in coffee plants want to chew
the coffee beans, and some feel it so
strongly as to succumb."

"DON'T WORRY"
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

His name was Hezekiah Doolittle,
and he was blessed with a sanguine
temperament. When he proposed to
Annie Warner, she Inquired what means
he had with which to support a wife.
"None whatever" said the cheerful
Hezekiah, "but poverty is no disgrace,
and some day expect to strike it rich"
They were married and went to live
with Annie's parents, until something
turned-up." Hezekiah passed by the
small jobs, looking for something big,
but he was always on hand for meals.
Annie fretted because they were a
burden on her parents, and chIded him
for his inaction.
Don't worry" said he. 1T will spoil
your beauty"
Hezekiah lived up to his own creed
and refused to worry, no matter how
great the provocation. Even when
Annie's parents turned them out he was
perfectly calm. 1.-THE Lord will pro-
videP' he exclaimed, placidly; but his
wife wasted no time II talk. She rented
small cottage, bought some furniture
on credit, and took in washing.
'1The debt on the furniture will soon
be due" she reminded him one day.
"'Never trouble trouble until trouble
troubles you,'" quoted Hezekiah.
SO his wife did plain sewing at night
to increase their scanty income. Then
a baby was born, and Annie was unable
to work. "What shall we do?" she
cried.
Don't worry. It will injure your
health" goothed Hezekiah. 81 am still
expecting something to turn up"
Armies folks helped them for year,
and then she rented larger house and
took in boarders.
'SCbe rent will soon be due" she told
her husband, as she glanced anxiously
at the calendar.
"Take no thought for the morrow"
reproved Hezekiah. "The morrow will
take thought for the things Of itself.
Annie worked harder. Her cares in
creased as the family increased, and
che lost her beauty, her health and her
temper.
"You worry too much" demonstrated
her husband. "Why don't you take q
hopeful view OF life, as I do?"
Human endurance has It's limits, and
the end came at last. Annie died OF
overwork, her parents took the children,
and the hopeful Hezekiah was left to

Fried Chicken.

Clean and joint two small "fryers."
Put two tablespoons each of butter and
lard in a baking pan and melt. Roll
the chicken in -four that has been well
seasoned with salt and pepper and lay
in the pan, making only one layer.
Place the pan in the oven and when
the chicken is brown on one side turn
it over When done remove to plat
ter. garnish with parsley and serve
with gravy made in the pan. This
saves the discomfort of frying in a
skillet and also insures a well cooked
chicken.
