Egypt Maintained Elaborate System Of
Registration.

In an address delivered before the
Royal Geographical society, Capt. H.
G. Lyons, director-general of the sur
vey department of Egypt, told of the
work of ancient Egyptian surveyors.
eat every period of ancient Egyptian
history" he said, "the land was meas
ured and recorded with considerable
accuracy; property was dealt in regu-
larly, and an elaborate system of reg
istration was maintained. No map of
landed property in ancient Egypt has
come down to us, but on the tomb
walls we meet with representations of
land measures at work. Their meth
DDS of land measurement are repre-
scented on the walls of the tomb of one
Menna at Sheikh Add ell Qurna, in
Thebes, a land overseer and inspector
of the boundary stones of Anon.
'In the scene depicted are shown
two chainmen measuring field of
corn with long cord, on which are
knots or marks at intervals which
seem to be about four or five cubits in
length; each also carries spare cord
coiled upon his arm. Beside them
walk three officials, who carry writ
ing materials, and who are accom-
panied by a small boy carrying writ
ing materials and a bag in which are
probably documents and plans refer
ring to the property. Arnold man and
two boys also accompany the survey
ors, and peasant brings a loaf of
bread and bunch of green corn.
"A similar scene is pictured on the
walls of tomb belonging to a certain
Amenhotep, also at Sheikh Add ell
Qurna. Here only one man accom-
panies the chainmen, each of whom,
as usual, carries spare cord. The
figures are larger than in the tomb of
Menna, and though they are now much
damaged, it is possible to see clear
ly that the cord terminated in rams

ST. ANDREWS GOLF CODE
TO RULE IN UNITED STATES
Executive Committee of u. S. G. A
Favors Rules in Vogue in the
British Isles.

Members of the executive commit
tee of the United States Golf associa-
ton have ratified the report of the
rules committee as regards the new
rules formulated by the Royal and An
cient Club of st. Andrews and now in
vague in the British Isles.
The important amendment relates
to the rules of not breaking anything
fixed or growing in the act of striking
ball. The st. Andrews rule reads:
Before striking at ball in play, player
shall not move, bend, nor break anything
fixed or growing, except so far as is nee
essary to enable him fairly to take his
stand in addressing the ball, or in maxi
ing his backward or forward swing. The
club may only be grounded lightly and
not pressed on the ground.
The penalty for breach of this rule
shall be the loss of hole.
The Interpretation of this rule addi-
tionally by the United States Golf as
ISOLATION is:
This rule does not prohibit a practice
stroke more than clubs length from
the ball.
Changes in the bylaws affecting the
amateur status have been made more
drastic, as follows:
No person shall be considered an anna
teur golfer or shall be eligible to compete
in the amateur championship of this as
ISOLATION or in any event of amateurs
authorized or held by it who accepts or
has accepted, directly or indirectly, any
fee, gratuity money or other considera-
ton for playing or teaching the game of
golf, or who personally makes or repairs
golf clubs, golf balls or other golf ar
ticles for pay, or who after the age of 16
years has received pay for services as
caddie, caddie-master or greenkeeper, or
who is or has been a professional in any
other branch of athletics; provided, how
ever, that any person who is or at the
time becomes ineligible as an amateur
by reason of this bylaw may be rein
stated upon giving to the executive COM
mittee Of this association satisfactory evil
dence of meriting such reinstatement.
The original rule relating to the
definition of an amateur was void OF
cor in any event of amateurs author
lied or held by 1.-THE United States
Golf association. Furthermore, the re.
strictions as to what constitute pay
are made more emphatic and give less
loophole for evasion, while further
restriction is to the effect cor has
been a professional in any other
branch of athletics"

Good Talk.

ONCE WI MET HIS MATCH.
Chinese Diplomat outwitted by Ameri
can Railroad kinq.

The willy WI Ting Fang. the min
lister from China, whose frank and
penetrating questionings have made
him the joy of newspaper men and the
bane of the diplomat, for once met his
match in a brief encounter with E. H
Hartman, the railroad magnate. Mr.
WI opened on Mr.. Hartman with this
naive inquiry:
How did you get control of all these
railroads? What did you do?"
Mr.. Hartman smiled and replied:
Il can answer you best by a story
about prominent capitalist whom !
once met. He was summoned to court
as a witness and was being questioned
as to his personal affairs.
What is your salary?' asked the
court.
Nothing was the unexpected an.
swer.
Well, what is your income from all
sources, them? continued the court.
Nothing maintained the witness.
What, do you mean to say you
have no income whatever
"'Yes.'
"'How much do you spend in q
year,
"'About 100000 or So
eff you have no income, yet spend
100000 year, how do you do it?' was
the sharp rejoinder. @'
"'Ah,' was the response, that is my
secret System.

is shown by the fact he has been
unanimously elected to the office Of
secretary every year since 1903, and
that thrice his salary has been boosted.
John A., though identified with the
National league since 1903, has always
been a stanch admirer of the Ameri-
can league, and it was due to his eff
forts that the Johnsonites got foot
hold in Washington eight years ago.
Heydler did much good missionary
work for the junior leaguers when
they contemplated invading Washing
ton, and did it without solicitation on
the part of Ban Johnson. Heydler
wrote and talked in favor of the move
to put an American league team In
Washington and bitterly opposed the
scheme to have the Capitol city rep
resented in the American association,
which was to be organized by the Ma
tional league magnates as a means
of fighting the Johnsonites.
Thanks to Heydler, the American
leaguers got a warm welcome when
they invaded Washington. All that
Heydler received for his espousal of
the American league cause was a
chance to send in IS official scores to
Ban Johnson.
If Heydler does not continue in Of
flee the next president of the National
league will be Jim Hart, long presi-
dent of the Chicago club. Hart would
make good executive, and his re-
entry into the game would be wei
coined by all hands. Hart and Ban
Johnson always have been friendly,
and it was the former Chicago mag.
Mates sportsmanlike attitude that en-
abled the American Lacquer to place q
team in the Windy City.
Even in the wartime period of 1901
and 1902 Hart remained on friendly re-
lations with the American league ex.
ecutive, and when Hart was compelled
to sell the Chicago club he gave John.
son the first chance to acquire it. Ban
refused to buy the team, though he
easily could have raised the money
necessary to carry out the transaction.

ACTING HEAD OF NATIONAL
LEAGUE A CAPABLE LEADER
Some Facts About John A. Heydler,
Who Will Take Pulliam's Place
for a Time.

In selecting John Arnold Heydler,
secretary of the National league, as
acting president, while Harry c. Pull
liam is recuperating, the National
league magnates made just as happy
a choice as did the American leaguers
when, long ago, they grabbed Byron
Bancroft Johnson off the sporting desk
of Cincinnati newspaper and made
him their pilot.
Heydler is one of the most popular
men connected with baseball and one
of the most capable. He enjoys the
friendship of all the club owners in
the National league, and, so far as
known, there isn't person who has a
grievance against him. What the Ma
tional league solons think of Heydler

BABY HORRIBLY BURNED
BY Boiling Grease-Skin All Came Of
One Side. of Face and Head
Thought Her Disfigured for Life.
Used cuticura: No Scar Left.

'My baby was sitting beside the
fender and we were preparing the
breakfast when the frying-pan full OF
boiling grease was upset and it went all
over one side of her face and head.
Some one wiped the scald with a
towel, pulling the entire skin off. We
took her to a doctor. He tended her
a week and gave me some stuff to put
on. But it all festered and thought
the baby was disfigured for life. I
used about three boxes Of Cuticura

Lese MaieSte,


A teacher in one of the schools Of
Berlin has given to the papers of that
city composition written by one of
the pupils in his school on the sub
ject, 'The KAISER" in the course of
which the young author says: Prince
Wilhelm was born on the kaiser's
birthday. From the dome of the cas-
tie 101 salute shots were fired. The
old grandfather and old Wrangel
hoped into a cab and went to the
schloss, and old Wrangel said: The
boy is all right and the father made
a bow from the balcony, and it was
awful cold. And when the boy was
baptized his father held his watch in
front Of the little fellows nose, and he
grabbed it and never let go again, be-
cause he is a Hohenzollern."
