nelgian Hedges.

In Belgium there are no stone or
hawthorn hedges like there are In
England.
Instead of being enclosed by a
hedge the fields are raised up by
fairly high earth banks and the
roads are cut out OF them as II
were; so that when you are walk
ing In the country you are down In
sort OF valley with low green banks
on either side of you.
The things that are chiefly culti-
waited In Belgium are the beetroot-.

gar. you know-and you can see field
upon field of their reidy green
leaves stretching on either side Of
you as YOU walk along, says Home
Chat.
Flax is also much grown over
there. and In summertime the fields
are such a pretty sight when the
pale blue fax blossoms are out In
full bloom.
Belgian asparagus ia also renown-
ed all over Europe. II has white
instead of purple green tirs. like our
home grown asparagus Now. next
time you see asparagus with white
tips In the shops you'll know where
II comes from. won't you?

does not occur as natural and neces-

Is purely the result of an accident,
some external cause. Natural death
Is a thing which has been acquired

HARLAN's FIRST GOLF STROKE.
lite Success Made Justice an Enthusl.
asst from That Moment.

The celebration by Supreme Court
Justice Harlan of the 30th anniversary
OF his elevation to the bench by play
ing golf all day recalls the story of
how he was first infected with the
golf microbe. "a
AS a weekend guest of Senator
Newlands he drove over with q party
of guests to the links, where the sena-
tor was to play. The justice was urged
to take a club and begin the game,
but steadily declined, with some side
remark about 1t being foolish sub
stitute for real sport, and popular
probably only because 1t was British.
"But you will never know what 1t
really ia until you try" urged Senator
Newlands, good-naturedly. Take this
club and try stroke at the ball"
The justice is no kill-joy, SO he took
a driver, and with a mighty swing
swatted a terrific swat at the liver
pill. The unexpected happened. There
was sharp. crisp kiss of the wood
and the ball and the almost startled
justice saw the little white sphere sail
gracefully away for $50 yards What
was his finish? He has been a golf
enthusiast from that transcendent mo-
ment.

 The Supreme Court says the law invalid because the pen aes for violation that the railroad cannot hire to break it. "The officers and employees could expected dsobey of the provisions of the acts the risk of such fines and penalties being the court should decide that the law valid The result would be denial of hearing to the company"
 By the same token the law forbddng murder is unconst
