TIMELY GOLF TIPS.

Some Scotch golf terms are confusing
and misleading to a majority OF Ameri-
can golfers. This is the case I'm the use
OF The word "fog. which I'm this country
is generally construed as applying 20
thick. Opaque atmosphere. In Scotland
fog is q general name for moss.
This difference of understanding applies
also 70 the word bunker" which in this
country is generally considered to include
the cop or grassy mound built in connec-
ton with sand pit In Scotland a
bunker is nothing but a sand pit.
Under the old rules a PLAYER was per-
mltted 10 sole his club on permanent
grass in a hazard. and this different un-
Outstanding OF the word bunker did
not materially affect play in this coun-
try. Under the new rules. however. a
player is no longer allowed 90 sole his
club on permanent grass I'm a hazard
without mourning a penalty for so doing,
and Il thus makes a material difference
whether the grassy cop or slope sur
mounting a sand pit IS considered a part
OF the bunker or not
This difference IN the understanding as
70 just what constituted a bunker was
discussed at Wheaton. the result being
that the United States Golf Association
executive committee made a ruling that
the grassy slope or cop was not part OF
q bunker. and that If ball lodged IN
such grass II might be treated and played
under the rules applying 10 similar cir
cumstances through the fairgreen. and
that a player In consequence could sole
his club on the grassy cop. as it was not
part OF the bunker, which consisted of
nothing but the sand pit itself

President Taft's son this winter. has
written an article on the subject Of young
men learning 10 box. Here Is what the
dapper little boxer has 90 say:
Il know that many parents hesitate
about having their sons learn how 20
box The reason for this 1 suppose can
against prize fighting. I can assure the
mothers and fathers who are tmid about
their boys learning how TO box that
there is vast difference. The two are
no more alike than night and day To
keep within the proper bounds Of boxing
for the benefit OF the health Of d boy I
would recommend the following as the
best means OF attaining The desired end:
First Of all q competent teacher IS re-
quired at the start Having secured that
kind OF an Instructor the rest will be an
easy matter. There are a number Of good
boxing instructors IN this city well Q.ali-
fed 10 teach youths how 10 spar with the
gloves
A boy learning 20 box would IN my
opinion, gain better results IN the end If
he could have a chum 20 along with him
and take lessons al the same time he
does. Ny reason for suggesting this Is
because they could later on spar to-
gether privately and be Of mutual assist
ance 70 each other IN their exercise. The
fact OF their boxing privately practically
does away with any rough work some
times witnessed when boys spar before
spectators and try 10 show on a bit.

SINGULAR Services of Sheep.

In the northern part of India sheep
are put to use unthought Of in Euro
pean or American countries. They
are made to serve as beasts Of burden.
The mountain paths along the foothills
Of the Himalayas are 50 precipitous
that the sheep. more sure footed than
larger beasts. are preferred as burden
carriers. The load for each sheep Is
from sixteen to twenty pounds. The
sheep are driven from village to vii
lage. with the wool still growing, and
in each town the farmer shears as
much wool as he can sell there and
loads the sheep with the grain which
he receives in exchange. After the
flock has been sheared he turns it
homeward. each sheep having on its
back a small bag containing the pur-
chased grain.

SLOW DEATH.

Disease Usually Takes a Long limo to
XIII. Says Scientist.
Few indeed are the men and wom-
en- of full age. say twenty-five. who
have not yet contracted the malady
that will kill them, according to that
distinguished scientist and physician
DR.. Felix Regnault. Normally. as con-
temporary investigators are beginning
to find out, it takes twenty years for
a fatal malady to kill patient. 1t
may take thirty years, The popular
impression is that man may die sud
denly or that he may require only a
year to die in or six months. 10 be
sure, a man may be killed or child
may die In a few months at the age
of one year. But. ordinarily speaking.
all deaths are very slow, indeed. and
about 95 per cent Of civilized adults
are now stricken with fatal diseases.
They do not know it. They may not
suffer from them. In due time they will
have their cases diagnosed as cancer
or tuberculosis or dia betes. or what
not But so inveterate are current
misconceptions of the nature Of death
that the origin of the fatal malady-
in time-will be miscalculated by from
ten to thirty years.
In the case of human beings death,
barring accident. is nearly always
caused by some specific malady. This
malady is as likely as not to be cured
what is called cured. The cure. how
ever. no matter how skillful the treat
ment or how slight the disease. has
left a weakness behind it in some
particular organ of the body. One of
the organs is. If not prematurely worn
out. at least SO worn that its resisting
powers are greatly diminished. All of
us in this way when we have reached
certain age possess an organ that is
much older than the rest of the
physique. One day We shall die be-
cause of this organ. Even if we live
to be very old. indeed. we shall not
die OF old age. but of weakness of the
lungs or Of the kidneys or of the liver
or Of the brain.-Current Literature.

Life's Day.


The time that has elapsed since the

been variously estimated at 100000

taken the shortest estimate and has
tried to make understandable the five
great evolutionary periods through
which life has passed by comparing
them with day Of twenty-four hours.
