CROWS ON GOLF LINKS.
One Fastidious Bird That Would Steal
Only New Balls.


The crow seems to be attracted to
golf balls In q way wholly peculiar
from the rest Of the bird species. In
parks, where the rock and the crow
abound, one can notice them sitting in
the trees or hopping about the putting
greens In the distance watching the
roll OF the ball with direct or side
long glance expressive of the keenest
interest and curiosity, which is soon
translated into desire TO carry IL of
to the roost In the neighborlng wood.
The Kew gardens adjoin the mid
Surrey course, and In the royal pre-
serve there used to be fairly large
colony OF crows nesting among the
trees. or this colony there was one
particular crow that found his great
est amusement in mingling among the
golfers and in disconcerting their play
by indulging In repeated predatory
campaigns against their golf balls.
His policy was to hover In attend
ance on those players who used new
white balls only. Those on which the
paint had been Clipped or which had
been used In play for several rounds
by an economical player We're always
rejected by this particular bird as be-
ing beneath his fastidious attention.

The Normal Attitude Toward Death.

The normal attitude of men toward
death seems to be one of inattention
or evasion. They do not trouble about
It; they do not want to trouble about
It. and they resent Its being called to
their notice. On this point the late
Frederick Myers used TO tell a story
which I have always thought very IL
Eliminating. In conversation after din
ner he was pressing on his host the
unweicome question what he thought
would happen after death. After
many evasions and much recalcitrancy
the reluctant admission was extorted,
"Of course, II you press me l believe
that we shall all enter into eternal
bliss, but I wish you wouldn't talk
about such disagreeable subjects"
This I believe Is typical OF the normal
mood Of most men. They don't want
to be worried. and though probably. II
the question were pressed, they would
object to the Idea of extinction, they
can hardly be said to desire immortal
fly. Even at the point OF death. 1t
would seem. this attitude Is often
maintained.-G. Loves Dickinson In

Those In Portugal Have Been Cut Up
Into Very Small Portions.
The Portuguese are an extremely
conservative people. Every one fol-
lows rigidly the methods employed by
his father and forefathers. In very
many parts Of the country the old
wooden plows are still used.
When a man dies, instead Of one Of
the heirs taking the whole property
and paying the remaining heirs for
their parts, the whole property is d.
vided into as many parts as there are
heirs. More than this, each separate
part of the property is thus divided.
Thus, II property consisted of ten
acres OF pasture land. eighty of vine
yard and ten Of grain land and there
were ten heirs, each heir would receive
one acre each Of grain and pasture
land and eight acres Of vineyard. This
process has been going on for very
long time, so that now in the most fer
tile part of Portugal the land Is d.
vided into incredibly small portions.
The immediate result OF this, accord
