EnoIish Women on Golf Links.

A very noticeable thing about Eng
lishwomen golfers of today is the
great change in their appearance on
the links. 1t used to be considered
necessary and thoroughly sporting to
look as unconventional as possible
when playing the game. Shapeless
tweed costumes, hopeless hats and
great clumsy boots were the proper
wear, but now this is quite changed.
At Turnbury women and girls wore
dainty skirts and blouses and silk
sweaters of pale shades, with coquet-
fish caps and hats, or no head cover
ings at all, and the effect was distinct
ly pleasing. Two played their final
match, the one in white with nothing
on her hair, the other in a French
gray sailor blouse and neatly cut
skirt with a little cap out of the same
material.

Ornamental Telephones.

The palm must be awarded to
France for novelties in telephones. III
one of the loud-speaking telephone
outfits manufactured in Paris and de-
signed to be used for communication
within the house, the instruments are
hidden in flower vases, which may be
placed on the dining room table, on a
table or mantel in the living room, or
In the bedrooms. The receiver and
microphone are mounted in the base
of the vase, a small plug and flexible
cord serving for the connection with
the battery. A push button rings a
bell in the kitchen or servants rooms,
and the woman of the house can
transmit her orders without having to
call the servants to her. There are
several variations of the idea, such,
for instance, as an ornamental dish
holder, or an odd-looking ornamental
figure.

DYNAMITE EXPLOSION

At least Is persons. were Killed,
with 10 missing, and more than 6U
injured in An explosion of $50 tons
of dynamite, following a fire on
board the British tramp steamer
Alum Chine, in the harbor off Fort
Carroll, Baltimore, about lO.3O
O'Clock Friday morning.
The disaster, which was one OF
the most terrible in the history OF
the section of the country, caused
a damage which is estimated at
S15O,OoO.
The Alum Chine was rent into
thousand pieces by her death
dealing cargo. The ship leapep in
to the air. Then there came a
crash and a flare, fragments of iron
steel, woodwork and cases that had
contained the explosive were hurl
ed hundreds of feet into the air and
the ship-or what was left OF her
sank beneath the waters.
ENTIRE COUNTY SIDE SHAKEN
The tremendous explosion shook
the country for miles around. Win
dows were broken and chimneys
knocked off houses dozen or more
miles from the scene of the disaster
At Sparrow Point a schoolhouse
was partly destroyed and several
children hurt.
Baltimore was shaken as if by
an earthquake, and tall buildings
in the center of the city were rock
ed by the shock.
The shock was felt at the Phlla-
delphia navy yard, in Reading, Pa;
nearly 100 miles from Baltimore,
in other cases in southeastern Penn
sylvania, and in New Jersey as far
as Atlantic City. In many towns
the tremor was so distinct as to
cause people to believe an earth
quake had occurred.

With Modern Methods.

The elder sighed. We'll, brother"
he said to the white-chokered stran-
ger, II wish you joy of your lease.
The old building has been a hoodoo
ever since can remember. We never
had a pastor who could half fill It,"
The white chokered stranger nodded.
"Ill be turning 'em away inside of a
month";" he cheerfully said. The elder
stared. And may I ask to what de-
nomination you belong?" 81 belong
to the film denomination" replied the
stranger, briskly.. -Four moving pic
lures at every performance, with a
complete change three times week
and all for the small sum of five
cents!" And he turned away to direct
the placing of the ticket pagoda and
the automatic piano.

TrianotIlar Smile,

No lady is suitably equipped now
for any big function unless she has
contorted her face into what is known
as the triangular smile" This "ex-
preston" is supposed to represent
simplicity and innocence! 1t is formed
by lifting the center part of the top lip
to form an apex Of the triangle, the
lower lip then representing the base.
The upper teeth are thereby revealed
and some women are wearing tiny
rosebud diamonds in their teeth.
Others are wearing under the nostrils
a band fastened to the top of the head,
thus drawing up the nose and top lip.
Woman's model fer next month is to
be Mephistopheles! Her hair will be
adorned with the long, curved feather
of the cap of Mephisto, measuring
anything up to two feet in length

special Importance, for the proper
appreciation of the perils and pri-
vations incident to the discovery
and settlement of what is so widely
known as the Little Levels of Po-

The most of her education was
received from the tuition of the
iate Rev. Mitchell D. Dunlap, who
was for so many years principal "i
the Pocahontas Academy at Hills

taught by him during that nearly
iirtv Years educational service so

special aptitude for English Gram,
mar, one of the two being Masda,
lene MrNeel. Several years since
Mrs. Williams united with the fres,

A loving daughter speaks in Tia.
way Of her mo- hers christian char

ravrrrd by those who knew hc'
best as illustrative of whatever is
sweet, truthful and generous. She
was unselGsh to a fault, never
seeming mindful of herself"
After a distressing illness of two
months or more the close of hel
long life of cares and vicissitudes
came hopefully and peacefully as
she went hence to be with Jesus.

A Warrensburg man, who hac
been missing meat from his smoke
house all fall suspected one of his
neighbors, set a trap by killing an
old family dog and dressed the car
cass to resemble a mutton. Sure
enough it was stolen at night; and
the next day about breakfast time
dropping in on the suspects he
found them devouring the luck.
He declined an inclination to eat,
saying he had just had breakfast,
and then told them of the joke he
had played on somebody. The
family listened without a smile,
and then made an excuse to 60 out
in the back yard saying something
that sounded like New York. -

Americans Were "Bostoneses."

During the Revolutionary war, and
shortly after it, citizens of the United
States were known in the Spanish col
onies as "Bostoneses," probably be-
cause the war began near that town.

governor of Missouri, writing to the

1777, said: "Colonists in the English
territories are being forced to bear

best fiction in serial form, as well as
a number Of other high-grade fea-
lures which we have been able to
obtain through our membership in
the Wesern Newspaper Union, an
association of several thousand of
the better county papers throughout
the country. Through this service
we have just scored beat on the
New York World, a paper consid-
cred by many to be without an equal
in progressiveness, and one which
certainly spares no expense what
ever in giving its readers the best
the market affords.
The New York World announced
that II had secured serial rights to

publication Of this excellent story
Sunday, July &. The readers of

this fine piece of fiction which is
concluded in this Issue. In select
Ing this story we felt sure 1t would

ANTI.TUBERcULosIs WORK.

In New York State the education
al campaign conducted by the COM
mittee on prevention OF Tuberculosis,
i'm conference of local committees
at Albaney, in March, 1910, adopted
the slogan; "no uncared for tuber-
culosis in New York State in 1915"
This marked the definite beginning
Of the constructive side of the cam.
paign against the great white plague
To carry into effect that slogan the
following platform was adopted:
Every county to have a tubercu-
losis hospital or sanitorium. Every
city and every village to have a Wis
iting nurse.
Every city and every village of
over 1900 people to have free
dispensary. All the living cases of
tuberculosis to be reported to the
health officer. Every living case to
be in hospital or sanitorium, or
under proper supervision at home,
"Disinfection to he thoroughly
done after every removal or death
of tubercular patient"
The Mothers Club of Flat River
has made a beginning to down this
disease in this community and is
doing comDiendable work. Since
February 10Th there have been sew
enteen deaths in the Lead Belt
alone due to tuberculosis, and there
have been diagnosed 46 cases. 1t
seems an appalling number for so
small a district, fer it excludes
Rome Terre.
1t Is hoped that every citizen will
thoroughly cooperate with the
Mothers Club in this work, which
in time can be carried on just as it
is done in New York State. All
cases should at once be reported to
the nurse.
