POLO IS RICH MANS GAME
Sport Descended From Persians of
Tenth Century to British Army
Officers and Then to u. S..

For obvious reasons polo although
introduced much earlier into this
country from abroad has attracted
far less popular interest than golf.
Like cricket, another exotic game, for
years it has had a firm hold in a
number of localities throughout the
United States, but necessarily the
cost of keeping strings of ponies and
providing good grounds makes it a
rich mans sport. That is drawback
which it's great advantages as a high
test of skill are never likely to over
come even among horse-loving people
Yet merely as a spectacle, from
which standpoint most persons past
their youth regard outdoor sports,
polo is one of the greatest of games.
1t is easy to follow and is exciting to
watch. The international match on
the Meadow Brook club grounds natur-
ally excited unusual enthusiasm be-
cause the teams were made up of the
crack players of the United States
and England.
Nevertheless, the true measure of
the affection in which any sport is
held by the every day public is the ex-
tent to which it has played the game.
Americans cling to baseball as Eng
lishmen do to cricket because it was
their boyhood game. Polo may occupy
one of the most honorable positions
in the history of athletic sports, de-
scending as 1t does from the Per-
slams of the tenth century to the
British merchants and army officers
in India, and through them to England
and the United States in the last forty
years, but it remains an alien game
whose claim Is on the eye and not Oh
the heart Of the great American
public.

shriveling of the Soul.

Some time ago, in San Francisco,
Rev. Charles E. Jefferson, pastor of
the Broadway Tabernacle of New
York city, in an address on immortal
ity, before an assemblage of Stanford
students and professors of the uni
vesity, put forth the following novel
suggestions:
The tragic story of the shriveling
and disappearance Of unused organs
is one of the most thrilling chapters
which science has written. Faculties
neglected become the prey Of the
forces of death. Powers subject to no
strain disappear. It may be that the
organ of belief, like other organs, is
under the sovereignty of this general
law and that only he who cultivates a
belief in Immortality is granted per-
mission to retain it,"

RIGHTS OF RUSSIAN WOMAls
Effort Being Made to Increase Amour.
of Estate They Can Inherit
Lands Confiscated by Gar.

Little by little Russian law is &C.
knowledging the claims of women.
Though the peasants are as obstin-
ately against them, as ever, the pro-
fessional classes are getting things
done
The Duma has under it's considera-
ton private bill for the regulation
now women who have brothers living
can inherit only one-fourteenth part
of their parents real estate and one.
eighth of their personal property.
Half-sisters and girl cousins have no
rights at all so long as their brothers
are living.
Two years ago twenty-three mem.
bers introduced bill to give to wom-
en- the same rights of inheritance as
their brothers. Though they cannot
do so in the case of a will being
made, the testators will now be al.
lowed to leave their daughters more
than one-fourteenth or one-eighth part,
on condition that their shares do not
exceed the brothers or mothers.
When the bill becomes law it will
make fittings far better for Russian
women, but its opponents fear it will
cause family estates to be broken up
in couple of generations. The law
of entail will also be altered, so that
heirs can sell estates which hitherto
have been unstable
In Russia no father can entirely dis
inherit his children. The law invaria-
bly, overrules a will where this has
been attempted. A parent must leave
his offspring a certain amount of prop
erty. This is relic of the old Slavon-
ic communal system, when every acre
OF land was looked upon as lent to a
man for his lifetime rather than given
to him. So this only way in which a
man or woman can be deprived of in.
heritance is by imperial ukase of con.
fiscation, when the estate goes to the
czar.
The imperial family has obtained
positively thousands of miles of forest
and arabic land in this way, to say
nothing of mines. Court favorites
and successful generals sometimes got
gifts from this inexhaustible store
and grand dukes who have incurred
the imperial displeasure by marrying
commoners not infrequently lose their
estates by scation.-Americap

while the speed of the descent had
ripped the gas bag from its frame

most singular fact was that, while the
surrounding land was parched from
drought, the balloons remnants rest

had drenched the wickerwork and the

"That will be vital evidence" he said.

An ingenious variation of the guide
ways for sliding window screens has
been invented by an Illinois man
This form of screen moves up and
down on stationary grooves set inside
the window frame and usually is put
In place by having q spring attach
ment on one end. In the device here
shown the guides are made In two
sections. the lower of which are sta
tionary and the upper being hinged to
the top of the window. When the lat
ter is In vertical position it forms an
uninterrupted groove with the bottom
section. 1t is very easy to adjust
screen on this form of guide. as the
upper part of the guide can be pulled
out at the bottom and the screen slip
ped into 1t. The guide is then allowed
TO drop back into place. and as the
screen slides down over the point OF
intersection of the two pathways II
holds both In exact alignment 1t is
easy to remove these screens to wash
