INTERPRETATION OF Pain.

Pain has been explained as an &C
compartment of the Promethean spirit
of life, which, in perceptible haste to
proceed upon its journey. takes the
most ready and efficacious path on
ward, needless Of what 1t breaks and
brushes Oh the way. But pain Is
rather an impulse within the spirit of
life. Pain is its conscience urging 1t
on. Unless we we're pricked on by
pain we should wish to stand still, con-
tent with our own satisfaction, meanly
Indifferent to higher pleasures; with
out pain all life might have been con-
tent to house itself in low animal
forms and wallow in bestiality, ease
and lust. 1t may be that the onward
progress might have been accom-
plished without pain, we might have
been whirled upward, insensible satel-
lites, toward the universal goal. But
we have received the privilege Of con-
sciously sharing in the upward jour-
ney. Each onward movement must be
a wrench from the past, each moment
parting, each step an eternal fare
well. These noble inconsistencies are
tasks imposed by pain.-From the At.

INSULTS NOBLE GAME
FRENcHMAN ACTUALLY D$RES

Dsvotees of "BilIiards on the Green
Turf" Must Think of Something
in the Nature of a Fitting
Punishment.

kempt, armed with long-handled clubs,
striking the ground with frenzy, as if
they wished to discover rare stones or
precious metals. 1t is golfers at
work"
Thus writes a contributor to the
Paris Journal in giving what he calls a
Guide du Golf" He explains some OF
the peculiarities of the game. First,
with regard to the ground. ANY
ground will do, so long as it is not
level. Having found your ground, you
then take great care to fill up all the
natural holes in it. Having done so
you make number of artificial holes,
which are all of a fixed shape and
depth-the more these holes resemble
natural holes the better they are.
Golf is the direct descendant of a
now questionable sport known as
stonebreaking. which consists of break
ing the stones on roads with the aid
of long hammer. The essential diff
ference is that tie golfers do not wear
wire spectacles like their ancestors
tho stonebreakers.
"The stones have been replaced by a
small india rubte- ball, which lasts
N lch longer, being unbreakable.
"The problem is to make this ball go
into the holes on the golf course with
ou' touching it with the hands. That
would be much too easy. To push it
toward the holes you use wooden
stick with All iron butt, very incon-
veniently shaped so as to make the
problem as complicated as possible.
This stick is called a club, and its mum.
Der is legion, since it is the correct
thing to change the club between each
stroke, Just as you change forks be-
tween each course. The collection OF
clubs. contained in an umbrella case, is
carried behind the line Of fire by a
youngster known as a caddy. The
player having chosen with great care
from among his clubs one which is
likely to make a successful stroke.
iourishes it with both hands, strikes
and misses he ball. There are two
ways of missing the ball-one by using
too much force and the other by not
using enough The stroke with too
much force behind it is the easier; it
consists in striking the earth few
feet behind the ball without touching
it. When this stroke is we'll done It
sends into the air shower of earth
and turf after the style of fireworks

Lit which misses is more delicate to

NEED OF ALL IS PATIENCE
LongfeIIows Wise Words Of Counsel
as True Now as When He First
Uttered Them.

Perhaps the greatest lesson which
the lives of literary men teach US is
told in the single word Wait
Every man must patiently bide his
time; he must wait The
voices of the present say "Come!" but
the voices Of the past say wait!
With calm and solemn footsteps the
rising tide bears against the rushing
torrent upstream and pushes back the
hurrying waters. With no less calm
and solemn footsteps, nor less GER
tainty does a great mind bear up
against public opinion and push back
its hurrying stream. Therefore should
every man wait; not in listless idle
ness, not in useless pastime, not In
querulous detection, but in constant,
steady. cheerful endeavor. always
willing and fulfilling and accomplish
ing his task that, when the occasion
comes he may be equal to it. And II
it never comes, what matters 1t to the
world whether I or you or another
man did such a deed or wrote book
so be it that the deed or book were
well done?
Believe me, the talent Of success Is
nothing more than doing what you
can do well and doing we'll whatever
you do, without thought Of fame. II
it come at all 1t will come because it is
deserved, not because it is sought
after. And, moreover, there will be no
misgivings, no disappointments, no
feverish exhausting excitement

Women Need Exercise.

The woman who does her own

Wcrshipino a Print Shop.

The ceremony of propitiating the
gods which are supposed to reside in
the printing machinery is annually
performed by the Hindu members OF
the Malaga Times printing staff. The
unusually prosaic machine and COM
posing rooms are turned into weird
caverns Of mystery, dimly lit by can
dies and oil lamps, and odorous with
the heavy scent of incense and per-
fumes. Every machine is garlanded,
and has placed before 1t an offering
Of "makan." Rice and bananas and
cakes are the portion Of each machine,
according to its size and Importance;
even the "stone" comes in for share
of the gifts.
At the appointed time, braziers, con-
tanning smoking camphor and cocoa
nut oil, are carried round and held
before each machine; whilst the pow

regarded as particularly aggressive

Event In American History,

November "a, 175S, marked the
evacuation and destruction of Fort
Duquesne. A short time previous to
this the British had initiated the work
Of fertilization. The French, coming
down the Allegheny river from their
forts on and near Lake Erie, made a
sudden descent on the small British
garrison, and the latter was forced to
surrender Internationally. The French
and their Indian allies completed the
fertilization and called it Fort Du-
quesne. A British force commanded
by General Forbes was sent from the
east to retake the fertilization, and
doubtlessly would have succeeded
without the loss of a man had it not
been for the impetuous Captain Grant.
The fort was blown up while the main
force was yet ten miles east of the
site of the future great city. They
heard a great explosion. saw volumes
Of smoke, and realized at once that
the French and Indians had destroyed
the little fertilization and had taken
to the woods and the rivers.

FARMING in Pike County,

Commenting on the railways de-
mand for higher rates, President Rea
of the Pennsylvania told the following
story to a Washington Star reporter:
"You can't raise much on these
stony hills, reckon?" said an angler
to Pike county farmer.
ooh, yes, stranger. we generally get
fine crops" the farmer replied.
But you don't raise much grain? ?"
Sure we do. We raise a sight Of
barley. I don't know what we Pike
county farmers would do if it wasn't
for our barley crops"
What do you get for the STUFF"
"Oh. we don't sell a grain OF it."
Feed it to your stock?"
"You don't catch us wasting barley
like that"
well, what do you do with it,
them"
why, we save every grain of it for

The SPELL of Christmas,

Once more, we are under the spell
of Christmas. We cannot be sour or
irritable or pessimistic, do our utmost.
We have been subjected to shower
bath of gladness; kind thoughts are
circulating with fullness and vigor
through all the avenues of the mind;
we are elated, even jubilant, ready
for laughter and tears, sympathetic
with the children in their glee, tender
toward the poor and forlorn, strange
ly accessible to life's best memories,
reverent toward religious faith, and
almost willing to go to church. All
this may seem to our pagan mind as
foolish as revival of religion, some
thing inconsistent with proper eco
nomic austerity, senseless revel of
humanity at the expense of the
moods, habits, and rules of solid bust
ness. Nevertheless, here we are,
pounded into submission and sympa-
thy, overcome for few hours or days
by the tides Of an ideal existence

lows said 1 had changed great deal
since September
George had just arrived a few hours
before for his first vacation back
from college. He had, indeed, been
very anxious to get home again
among his old friends. The weary
hours on the train he had whiled
away by telling the other boys about
all the dances he was going to at
tend with Dorothy Smyth, some
classy girl from Bryn Mawr.'
In the course of the dinner Doctor
Porter could not but take down his
son a little. The all-important fra
ternity man was roasted considerably
for his overbearing manner. However,
George took it all with the stole dig
nifty of the captain of the freshman
football team. AS a matter Of fact
dad sank considerably in his sons
estimation.
After dinner Georges older sister
Mary asked him whether he was 60
ing to call up Dorothy for the Christ
mas dance at the Hadley's.
Jaw, pshaw, here a fellow works
his head off at school," said George
in his best blase, 'fhe comes home for

him to dance. And half the girls at
school have it on Dorothy anyhow"

George, "a college man must be able
to shift for himself. Why, half the
fellows work their way. I'll go out
to earn the money myself tomorrow.
Besides, I've been roasted enough"
True to his word George Porter was
out early the next morning looking
for remunerative toll. A window-card
in a large cafeteria, Help Wanted"
arrested his attention He strolled up
to the fat proprietor, seated behind
the cash register, and honored him by
offering him college mans services.

he was asked.
In spite of the fact that the total

This confused him little. "Aw-

so you've been at Friends cafe?
Well, I'll take you. A dollar and a

George had bluffed and he was go

NOT IN DEMAND AS A PET
West indian Opossun, Has Few Good
Qualities That Recommend Him to
Liking of Humanity.

Although not exactly suitable as
pet, the West Indian opossum is a
very interesting little animal.
Unlike most wild things, 1t prefers
the neighborhood Of man, and ia q
perfect pest to the planter, especially
If he keeps poultry.
Imagine a rat as large as rabbit,
with a long prehensile tail, and you
have its picture.
It robs the fowl houses, steals ripe
fruit from the trees, eggs from the
nest, and fish from the pond. 1t Is sell
dom seen during the day, as its sight
is weak and 1t dislikes sunlight. "a
starry night for ramble" Is the pos
sums motto, and he doesn't go home
till morning Mrs Opossum produces
ten or dozen young ones at BIRTH
and hides them away in a warm pouch
like a kangaroo
Queer little naked blind things they
are, SO that were 1t not for the ma
ternal pouch they would not succeed
long in the struggle for life.
Grown little older, they are some
times taken for walk on their moth
er's back, and 1t is funny sight to
see the little fellows all clinging for
dear life to mammals tail.
The negro dearly loves a 'possum
hunt, and a ramble with Sambo and
two or three dogs generally produces
sport. The 'possum ordinarily takes
to tree and tries to hide himself be-
hing the trunk, but the darby gets
him "'gainst de moon," as he calls it
that is to say. his form shows up
against the moonlight-and a charge
Of No. soon brings him down.
Care must be taken in handling
him, as Mr.. 'Possum is apt to pretend
