THE MAKING OF A VI7GINlAM
Diet Seems to Play Important Part IiI Making True Gentleman of
 Old Dominion.

The subtle connection which ex- ists between diet and the special characteristics of the various branches of the human race is point ed out by Dr. George W. Bagby in ''The Old Virginia Gentleman" who says that Virginian could not be a Virginian without bacon and greens. He also tells some of the other things that must go to the making of true Virginian.
 He must have fried chicken. stewed chicken, broiled chicken and chicken pie; old hare, butter beans, new potatoes, squirrel, cymlins, snaps, barbecued shoat, roas'n ears, buttermilk, hoe-cake, ash-cake, pan- cake, fritters, potpie, tomatoes, June apples, waffles, sweet milk, parsnips artichokes, scrambled eggs, goober peas, fried apples, popcorn, persim- mon beer, apple bread, milk and peaches, mutton stew, dewberries, batter cakes, muskmelons, hickory nuts, partridges, honey in the honey comb, snappin' turtle eggs, damson tarts, catfish, cider, hot light bread and cornfeld peas all the time; but he must not inter1nit his bacon and greens.
 He must butt heads with little negroes, get the worst of it, and run crying to tell his ma about it; wear white yarn socks with green toes and yarn gallowses; make frog houses over his feet in the wet sand and find woodpeckers' nests; meddle with the negro men at hog-killing time, and be in everybody's way generally 1; upset beehives, bring wasps' nests into the house, and get stung over the eye by yellow jacket; watch setting turkeys; own a bench-leg flee and a speckled shoat; wade in the branch; eat too many black-heart cherries; try to tame a catbird; call doodle-bugs out of their holes, and keep on eating bacon and greens.- Youths Companion.

OLD-TlME SUNDAY GOLF.

Golf appears to have given the seventeenth century Sabbath admin :srators of Scotland more trouble than any other form of frivolity. In the previous century the fascination of the game had Sunday license, but in the seventeenth the clubs were banned during the hours of divine worship. Here is a typical entry from the registers of Perth in Janu- ary, 1904:
 1.-The visitors report that guid or der was keeped the last Sabbath, ex- cept that they found some young boys playing at the gowf in the North Inch, in the time of preaching afternoon, who were warned then by the officiars to compear before the session this day" The half-dozen culprits escaped with fine of "ane merk" and public exhibition of themselves to the congregation.

CANNOT BE TOO CAREFUL
Advertising Man Could Not Stand for Mixing Religion With Busl-
 ness Announcements.

'T want" explained the advertis- ing man, "I want a picture that has the idea of speed in it-real speed. l want it to go at a regular marathon. But it's got to be new. It's got to have a punch. I'm tired O these here messenger boys and aeroplanes. What I want is for you to draw picture that has speed in it without messenger boys and flying ma- chimes"
 ''Yes, I see." The artist from whom the drawing was being or dered nodded and picked up a pen- cil. "How about Mercury? Some thing like this"
 He sketched, rapidly, the figure of the messenger of Olympus, winged sandals, winged cap, symbolic staff, and all. The advertising man watched him in silence, and when the tentative drawing was finished looked it over approvingly.
 "Seems all right" he commented. 'FBut what does it mean? Who's Mercury"
 "Oh, Mercury? He was the speed- fest thing that ever lived," the artist declared. "Mercury was the god of speed, you know"
 Blt the advertising manager gave one long, regretful look at the sketch and shook his head.
 "Too bad," he murmured sadly. "Too bad; I liked its looks, but it won't do. It won't do, young man. We can't get mixed up with any ones religion like that"

OLD COPY OF BAcON's ESSAYS.

Bacon's Essays, a copy of which realized 91,950 at the Huh sale, have a special title to fame. This work was the first of any importance to be translated from English into French. The translation proved q great success. In his preface to the third edition, Baudouin, the trans lator, complains that "at least four editions of this work would have been sold by now if the booksellers had not hampered its sale by their unwillingness to place it before the public" Still, the fact that three editions were called for within five years shows that the essays were heartily appreciated by French read 2r5. The first French version of Shakespeare appeared in 1776-oyer l50 years after the translation of Bacon.-London Chronicle.

EuLLDOGGING A STEER,

Perhaps there is no contest that is a greater tax on human endurance than that demanded by "bulldog- glng" steer, and the "bulldogger" must go it alone.
 The pony is as great a factor as the man, for when once the lasso rests over the horns of the range ami nal, all depends on the rapid way in which the mustang wheels so that the trailing rope will trip the steer.
 When the steer is on the ground the plucky pony must keep the rope taut. The range rider leaps off, and with a length of rope ties the steers four feet together. Time is then called. Unless he has completed all these operations from the word go in less than three minutes he is not deemed fit to enter the finals. AS a matter of fact one contestant cut the time to 29 seconds, worlds record. Sunset Magazine.

ONE GOOD LUCK TOKEN FAILS
Mir. Johnson's Experience Causes Him to Lose All Faith in Their
 Potency.

Coed luck tokens do not always bring the results expected of them. Walter Johnson of Smithport, Pa., is half inclined to believe that they never do.
 Mr. Johnson was told that if he stolc rabbits foot and carried it constantly, good luck would surely att'Nd him. He stole one, but thnlgs haven't worked out right at all. The day after obtaining the to- ken Ee was kicked in the chest by a mule. The second day he was se- vercly beaten in a fist fight with a neighbor. The third day he fell down three flights of stairs, and the fourth day he was robbed of $17. The end of the first week found him confined to the house with an attack of humps.
 It may be that Mir. Johnson made a mistake in obtaining his good luck token. To be effective the rabbits foot must be the left hind foot of a rabbit taken in a country grave- yard at midnight in the dark of the moon.

LIKE SPARTAN BOYS OF OLD
North Canadian Youths Are Taught Endurance Through Exposure
 to the Cold.

Whipping and exposure without clothes as training in endurance of cold for the North Canadian native boys has curious points of resem- blance to the training of theh boys of ancient Sparta. They also were inured to cold by being made to go barefoot and to wear the same clothes summer and winter; and they also underwent whipping. Only cold seems to have had nothing to do with the latter. The scourgings of Spartan boys before the altar of Artemis Orthia are supposed to have been a relic of human sacrifice Gin some cases boys actually died un- der the lash). But they were un- doubtedly utilized as training in, and test of, hardihood-the boys competing to see who could endure most without sound.
 And how such Spartan training of boys among the natives of northern Canada would have appealed to one of the Camerons of Lochiel. Sir Francis Galton records that, when bivouacking with his son in the snow Cameron noticed that the lad had rolled snowball to make a pillow. He thereupon rose and kicked it away, saying sternly, "No etfemi- macy, boyw
