FIFTEENTH CENTURY MANNERS.

Times change, says the proverb, and in matters of etiquette this is more clearly shown probably than in anything else Three hundred years ago the English diner was ex- pected to clean his spoon on his bread and to refrain from picking his teeth with his knife and from rubbing his knife on the tablecloth. He was not allowed to dip either his fish or his meat in the salt eel lar. nor get his thumb into the wine.

MISSIONARIES OF THE SUDAN
Out Cannibalism-Superstition and Witchcrsft.

Missionaries wherever they work have many difficulties to encounter and many hardships to contend with, but I doubt if there is any part of the earth where the missionary has a harder time than in the Sudan, said Dr. A. C. Hudson of Los An gees, who spent several months m that country.
 Despite the effort of the govern ment to stamp them out, canniballs- tic practices are still prevalent Tn the Sudan. The government IS adopting strong measures to punish those responsible for such inhuman practices. and shortly before l left four natives were hanged for these atrocities. The natives are filled with superstition and fear the power of evil spirits.
 "The worship of their ancestors, witchcraft and the employment of witch doctors and fetich worship are among the obstacles that confront the missionary. but notwithstanding these and other difficulties the work of evangelization is producing en- couraging results. and in Africa to- day there are more than $500. .000 Christians

Golf Not Only the Poor Mans Game. But the Game for Everybody.
 Without Exception.

Golf is the poor mans game" says MT. Taft, but that generaliza- ton is narrow; for golf is also the game for everybody. It is the one purely athletic sport in which wom- an comes the nearest to holding her own against masculine rivals. We may begin it's practice as soon as we are able to walk, while only recent lv the papers reported the passing, at 82, of well-known North Ber- wick amateur who had played his last round but three days before death. Rockefeller and Carnegie en- joy their game to the full, but so do the penniless caddies playing at tomato-can holes with cast-otf clubs and battered balls. A native-born Maori won the amateur champion ship of New Zealand a year or 80 ago, contending against field of white men. Louis James, while still school boy, became amateur cham pion of the United States, and Charles Hutchins won the like honor in Britain, although he was well over 50 years of age, and grand father, In very truth, golf is for all sorts and conditions of men everybody's game.-Collier's Week.

How Hair Grows.

A single hair, which can support
weight of two ounces. is SO elactie
that II may be stretched to one-third
of It's entire length and then regain
it's former size and condition. DR..
Pincus has measured the growth Of
hair by cutting OF circles about one
inch in diameter from the heads OF
healthy mea. and so comparing the
growth of the patches with that of
the rest Of the hair. He found that
the growth rate generally became
slower after cutting; that in some
cases the hair on the patches grew
at the same rate as the rest, but that
1t never grew any faster.
The ordinary length Of the hair
on the head ranges between twenty
two inches and about forty-five
inches. the latter being considered
unusually long. Il has been caleu-
lated that the hair Of the beard
grows at the rate OF one line and a
half a week; this viii give a length
Of six and half inches in the course
OF a year. For man eighty years
Of age, who has been a clean shaver
from early maturity, no less than
twenty-seven feet OF beard must
have failen before the edge Of the

Queer Superstition OF the Native

The native blacks Of Australia
are STEPPED in superstition. A black
fellow will on no account go near

been buried He has deep rooted
aversion to one particular bird-the
wagtail--because he sas sss him all
day talk. talk along white feller.
tellum all about black fsller." and
no opportunity is lost OF killing
these little birds
Many tribes bury their dead by
sticking them up into the forks OF
trees and there leaving them tin the
flesh has either dropped or been TAX
en-. leaving the bones clean. These
bones are then taken down. the larg-
er ones buried and the smallest hand
ed round as keepsakes to those senar-
ly related to the deceased. Should
one black fellow wish the death OF
rival or enemy he points the bone
at him This means that ne takes
one OF his late relations bones from
his dilly bag and points 1t, in the
presence of witnesses, at the man he
wishes to get rid of. all the time
pouring forth threats and curses.
Strange as Il may seem. the one
pointed at viii often ianguish and
eventually die. perhaps IN q month,
perhaps in a year, for no sooner is
the bone pointed than be makes up
his mind to die. and there is no saw
