Seaside Golf In England.

The seaside courses are so open ana
the wind SO strong that the straight
ball down the middle of the alley
(the kind we crave for here) is practi-
cally an utter stranger on those
courses. In fact. there would be no adj
vantage in even trying to keep the ball
straight in most cases, but really a
disadvantage, since the ball in a cross
wind. for instance, would be fighting
against the wind. Instead. the wind
is made a friend and is used to advan-
tage by employing the useful hook and
slice according to the direction OF the
wind) to work with the wind-and a
long ball usually results. Those hard
hitters who can play reasonable hook
or slice certainly do some really fine
smacking. They know how to start
the ball for the right place. at the
proper height and with the proper de-
gree of slice or hook impaired to it 50
that it usually ends up in the right
spot a considerable distance past the
place arrived ut by the man who only
plays the straight ball and simply al
lows for the wind.-Outing.

The most astonishing building in the
Gale de San Fernando, Seville, is the
immense two story baroque edifice
that covers more ground than the ca
thedral plus the court of oranges and
serves the purpose of tobacco fac
tory. The portal is adorned with busts
of Columbus and Fernando Cortes, and

Curious New York Club.

Probably one of the least known
clubs in New York has it's home on the
borders of the lake in Central park,
opposite Seventy street and
Central Park West. The clubhouse Is
a tiny wooden structure, with an equal
ly tiny veranda and little pier run
ming out twenty feet into the water.
Here on spring and summer evenings
business men, Wall street brokers.
merchant princes, famous lights of the
bar, actors and men Of science gather.
armed with fishing rod and reel, to
while away an hour or two in the fas-
cinating sport of fly casting. The men
are members of the Anglers club of
New York, and they find relaxation
and enjoyment in listening to the
whirr of the line as it slips off the
reel The club is one of the most ex-
elusive in the city. 1t has been In ex-
istence for many years, with tourna-
ments regularly every month. yet per-
sons never knew it existed or noticed
the rude little hut by the waters edge.

"child Material"

If parents do not know by this time
how 10 bring up their children it is
not for lack of instruction. A few
generations ago Solomon was the only
writer on child study who enjoyed any
vogue Now his precepts, the acrid
fruits of experience. have been super
seeded by more genial but more impor-
tant counsel
Begirt by well wishers, hemmed in
on every side by experts who speak OF
"child material as if it were raw silk
or wood pulp, how can little boy
born in this enlightened age dodge the
educational influences which surround
him?
1t is hard to be dealt with as "child
MATERIAL when one is only an ordinary
little boy To be sure. "child material
is never thrashed as little boys were
wont to be. 1t is not required to do
what it is told. 1t enjoys rights and
privileges of very sacred and exalted
character; but, on the other hand, 1t Is
never let alone, and to be let alone Is
sometimes worth all the ministrations
of men and angels The helpless, in
articulate reticence of child Is not an
obstacle to be overcome, but barrier
which protects the citadel of child
hood from assault.-Agnes Repplier In

PASSING of the Cou- Blanc.

In the Alpine valleys, near the Little
st. Bernard, there is cultivated a spe-
cies Of goats to which the natives give
the name of "cou-blanc."
They have peculiar markings. The
neck and shoulders are entirely white,
the rest of the body jet black. The
head is curiously marked in black and
white, always the same. About the
only variation is in the feet, which are
either black or white.
These goats are almost unsurpassed
as milk producers. The variety has
existed for centuries and is as dis
tinct a variety as the Holstein or Jer-
sey COW. This in spite Of changing
population, which is mixture Of many
races.
Unfortunately the evils of excessive
inbreeding are showing. and this inter-
esting race seems doomed to extinc-
ton, like the wild white cattle of Eng
land.-Exchange.

Nicely DISGUISED.

Some days ago, about 5 o'clock In
the afternoon, the principal police in
spector of the Second district was call
ed to an affair as delicate as it was
urgent He quickly made up his dis
guise. For his bourgeois melon hat he
substituted a cap. the classic cap OF
the Apaches. He then jumped into an
auto. He was not recognizable, or
rather, he would not have been if the
honorable inspector had not retained
upon his breast the red ribbon of the
Legion of Honor, ribbon that he
had heroically won at Choisy-le-Roi.
And the malefactors in the midst of
whom this disguised officer insinuated
himself could not refrain from laugh
ing and are laughing yet at this man
clothed like one Of them and deco
rated with the Legion Of Honor!-Le

Does Anyone Care for Father?

Does anyone care for father?
Does anyone think of the one
Upon whose tired, bent shoulders
The cares of the family come?
The father who strives for your com
fort
And tolls on from day to dav,
Although his steps ever grow slower;
And his dark locks are turning
gray.
Does anyone think of the due bills
He's called upon daily to pay?
Milliner bills, college bills, book bills
There are some kind of bills every
day.
Like patient horse in treadmill,
He works on from morning till
night;
Does anyone think he is tired?
Does anyone make his home
bright
Is it right, just because he looks
troubled,
To say he's as cross as bear?
Kind words, little actions of kind
ness,
Might Danish his burden Of care.
IT'S for you he's ever SO anxious,
He will toll for you while he may
live;
In return he only asks kindness.
And such pay is easy to give.
Forward.

BUILDING a House In France.

1t is unusual for a house, however
small, to be erected in France without
the service of an architect, who not
only draws the plans, but actually SUI
perintends the work. Usually it is he
who orders the building material and
assures himself that it's quality is up
to the specifications and requirements.
The contractor and his workmen per
form their duties in conformity with
the architects orders, and the latter,
who is usually man with capital, adj
vances the funds required in order
that the contractor need not wait for
payment until the building is complet-
ed. Moreover, the French law i'm
poses on the architect serious re-
sponsibility, since he as well as the
contractor is responsible for all de-
fects of construction during period
of ten years.

A Flash of HowelIs' Wit,

In the Letters of Charles Eliot Nor
tom is one written by him to Eliot
Norton in 1907, in which is this glimpse
Of Howells with a flash of his quick
wit:
''Mr. Howells was with us on Sun
day and seemed better than / had ex-
pected, considering how poorly he was
during the greater part Of the winter
and spring. Pleasant as he always is,
he never was pleasanter, and we had
four or five hours of animated talk, by
which a vast deal of ground was COW

old. One quick bit of wit is worth
preserving. 1 was speaking to him of

was brilliant, but not clear. Like his
father said Mr.. Howells, who wrote
the "Secret of Swedenborg" and kept

Even Cursed the King.

The period that followed the black
death was the golden age of Hle Eng
fish peasant. Says Piers Plowman:
THE laborers that have no land and
work with their hands deign no longer
to dine on the stale vegetables of yes
terday. Penny ale will not suit them
nor bacon. but they must have fresh
meat or fish. fried or baked. and that
hot and hotter for the chill of their
nav. Unless he be highly paid he will
chide and bewail the time he was
made a workman. 80 Then he curses
the king and all the kings justices for
making such laws that grieve the la
borer." Even the peasant with a fix
ed interest in the soil was strong
enough In many cases to- extort a
charter from the lord Of the manor
with rental at cents an acre per an
mum.

How He Escaped,

Paul Deroulede was one of the few
Frenchmen held by the Prussians as
prisoners of war to escape from Gus

disguised himself as Polish Jew. A

hemian frontier, having been promised
the alternative of death in case of fail
ure and 100 francs in the event of sue
cess.-New York Post.

Pull For Washburn

WASHBURN has just passed

political battles that has been

and lines have been tightly drawn

which side wins.

We have here. one Of the best
cities in northern Wisconsin and
it should be the feeling of every
one to make it bigger and better.
This can be done by a united
pulling together on things which
will tend to make the city grow.
There should be no ill feeling
existing because of the sides
taken in political battles any
more than there is between the
sides taking a stand on other
questions.
We. as citizens, are here to do
what we can to make Washburn
grow and that should be the aim
of everyone. We have back of
us one of the best farming Sec

in front of us a lake frontage
that cannot be excelled on the
entire chain of lakes. We have

pulling together will accomplish
great results toward building

SIeep Curiosities.

One of the curious facts brought to
light by the scientists who are fond
Of trying to solve the mystery of sleep
is that when one is fast asleep some
part of his brain or several parts of 1t
NAV at the same time be awake. A
man may walk, talk, sing or solve
mathematical problems and yet at the
same time be safely in the land of nod.
Another curious fact about sleep is
that the further the part of the body
is away from the brain the less sound
" it sleeps. A touch on the toe will
awaken one much more readily than
a touch on the shoulder.

Oil Field In Pacific Ocean.

Unique among the oil fields of the
world is the Summerland group OF
wells in California, which extend out
into the Pacific ocean. There are 141
producing wells in this group, which
is situated about eighteen miles from
Santa Barbara. These wells are drilled
out in the ocean just off the coast and
100000 barrels are taken from the oil
sands underlying the ocean bed every
year. This interesting spectacle OF
derricks built out into the sea is visible
