Millions It Costs to Play Golf

Thirty-five million dollars seems like an enormous sum to spend in one year on the game of golf, but ac- cording to the London Magazine, the total annual golf bill of the English players alone reaches the figure. The separate golf clubs in England are said to number 2000, and the members between 100000 and 300O0O.
 An expert opinion lays it down as impossible that fewer than 7,200,0 ,000 golf balls can be used up every year and the cost of these added to other incidental club and playing exepnses gives the astonishing conclusion that on an average for every golf ball he wears out the British golfer spends upon his game the sum of 50. The economical golfer, it is explained, nat urally will spend less, but then the opulent capitol expenditure of s4oo,- 900 in laying out it's links, he will probably spend a great deal more.

Midnight Now PA Hour
 O'Clock"

One day several months ago the official clocks of Paris were set back nine min- utes in conformity with the new regula- rion adopting Greenwich time as the standard for France. Before the change was made it was always noon in France nine minutes ahead of the English noon and the new day for France always be- gan nine minutes before the clocks of London were tolling the hour of midnight. This was confusing in many ways. as may, be imagined, and France simplitied mat ters by setting it's clocks by the British standard time, as several other European nations had already done.
 Now France is going to have "A hour clocks One will no longer take train at % minutes past in the afternoon, but at 1900 instead of saying, "1mogene, my

especially appropriate for the country house and come with shades of open work reed lined with cretonne in soft warm shades through which the light transmits a friendly glow. Some of the lamps are huge bottle-shaped affairs, like a Turkish hookah, only larger, some square and some round. The reed Is either in it's natural color, covered with a transparent varnish, or is tinted brown or green.
 Another clever idea for the porch or country house, especially if the mistress of the dwelling be much given to enter taining, is a reed basket There is a raised platform in the middle, shaped like an eclipse, and covered with glass over nretonne like the cretonne tea trays. This Is for fruit or sandwiches. The space around the tray is divided into small compartments, each large enough to hold a tumbler. This is @ lovely ar rangement for serving refreshments out of doors. Some baskets will hold eight, other as many as a dozen tumblers.

A RAPID GLOVE CLEANER.

A quick way to clean gloves IS to talk a piece of soft cloth, rub it on the unde side of some good soap which mas sort ened somewhat by lying on the dish. ant then rub the gloves vigorously with thi cloth. The gloves should be worn whil being cleaned, and no water should b. used. This same method of cleaning cal be applied with good results to baby white kid shoes, and, with little wate added, white canvas shoes can be thor oughly cleaned. The canvas shoes shoul, be stuffed with paper or cotton so the. will keep their shape while drying afte being cleaned in this way.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by consti- tutional remedies Deafness is caus- ed by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustaehian Tube When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or i'm perfect hearing, and when 1t is en- tirely closed. Deafness is the result and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness tcaused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir culars. free.

With What Crowd Will We Train.

With What Crowd Will We Train
 With 64 dry counties and only II wet there can be no doubt as tc where the majority of the people oi Arkansas stand on the Temperance Question.
 The people in these II counties need our help to rid them of the curse of the saloon. Is il right that the good people in these counties should be compelled to suffer and the State disgraeed and homes ruin ed and childhood blighted by the awful curse of the saloon just be cause they happen to live in con- munities where whiskey men are in the majority? Is it right that they should thus suffer when We can help and save them by our ballot?
 Men may talk as they please about personal liberty, but no man has a right to personal liberties that in- terferes with personal rights.
 If the saloons would sell only to people in the county where the vot- CTS have assumed to give them the right, if they would sell only to the men who voted for the saloon 1t would be different but they will sell everywhere and to everybody they can, whether it be the son of the man who voted for them or the son of the poor widow who had no voice at the ballot box
 Let us look again at this proposi- tion. It is said We are known by the company We keep Those who are working against Act No. ? and in favor of License are the brewers, disti1lers, liquor dealers, saloon keepers, keepers of houses of i'll fame. gamblers and law breakers. Those working for Act No. are the best manhood of the state. The best and purest womanhood, the Church and Sunday School workers and all who stand for the best in terests of society, the care of widow hood and the protection of child hood
 Can We afford to allow in our state anywhere an institution-the saloon to be protected by law, that law made so by our vote. an institu- tion that already has in this United States 2,500,000 drunkards which cause 10000 murders and 5000 suicides and 100. 1000 criminals ev- cry year That is responsible for 700.o00 orphans, 65, 1000 insane and puts l5 .ooo boys and girls in reform schools every year.
 Let each man vote For Act No. 2" and Against License" and there by stand for the best interests of the county and the homes of the whole state.
