THE SEPTEMBER
AMERICAN MAGAZINE.

In the September American Mag
azine Jerome D. Travers. four times
amateur golf champion of the United
States. writes the second article in
his series of four articles on golf.
The present article is entitled The
Winning Shot," and it shows that
the putter is far and away the
most important golf stick, and
he tells how to use it. These arti-
cles by Travers are just as interest
ing to non-golf-players as to the
players because they are filled with
dramatic stories of exciting games
participated in by great players. As
a matter of interest. there are in the
United States to-day about 100000

No American can stand before the
portrait of Andrew Jackson by Thorn
as Sully and look upon that tall and
wiry frame without feeling that here
is presented at glance the strength
and vigor Of "Old Hickory" The por.
trait is very familiar, owing to many
reproductions, but the visitor is gen.
orally surprised to discover that Jack
son had blue eyes and sandy hair.
His voice and action had a peculiar
ly martial air to one English writer,
who further said that he seemed to
be human gamecock" Yet he could
also see a lofty ideal of honor in the
deep eyes overhung by bushy gray
eyebrows, the ridgy lines of the cheeks
and forehead, and the white hair OBJ
stinately brushed back. Jackson was
a popular subject, as was also Chief
Justice Marshall, and again John Ran.

BY THE POOL OF THE LOTUS
Thoughts Of Inmates Of the Harem
Not Always Pleasant, Despite
Surroundings of Beauty.

The best of all in this embroidery Of
running water was the square pool
that lay in the midst of the zenana,
for the bottom Of it was carved into
the image of huge and many-petaled
lotus flower, all of one block of white
marble without flaw or stain, and the
petals seemed astir when the clear
crystal passed flowing over them. And
at each corner of the lotus, complet-
ing the square, were triangular panels
of delicate water flowers, and through
the water the carnelian and the agate
and the jasper of which they were
fashioned shone strangely with vivid
CLEANS.
All around the pool Of the lotus used
to sit the flowers of Shah Jehan's gar
den of girls, and there is no pool on
earth that has reflected the image
of such beauty. Often did the pearl
lily, the chief flower and favorite of
the harem, sit there with unsandaled
feet, waiting for the summons of her
lord, and sometimes a cloud would
pass over the image of her face re-.
fected there when she considered that
soon her loveliness would pass and
her beauty be marred by the wrinkles
Of the shriveling years, and desire
would fail, and long after her lips had
crumbled into dust and her soft limbs
had been laid underground for the
worm and the red ant to fatten upon,
the water that flowed there would be
ever renewed and know not the hor-
ror of age.-From "Dewan-i-Khas"
Cthe Hall Of Private Audience), by
E. F. Benson IN the Century.

SANS CLOTHES, SANS DIGNITY
Paups Views Concerning Modest
Dress Of Women Were I'm
blbed In Childhood.

The Tarsians we're celebrated for
the extremely modest dress Of their
women, who we're always deeply veiled
when they went abroad, remarks the
Christian Herald. AS Tarsian ladies'
walked in the streets you could not
see any part either of their faces or
of their whole person, nor could they
themselves see anything of their
path" In this respect they were diff
ferent from the women of other cities
which had been more thoroughly Hell.
lenized Those early impressions Of
Pauls childhood doubtless account
In part for Paul's strict rules as laid
down to the Corinthians about the
yelling of their women. Every wom-
an that prayeth or prophesieth with
her head uncovered, dishonoreth her
head" In another place he says, "The
her head" This should be translated,
we are told, "The woman who has a
veil on her head wears authority on
her head" Being interpreted, this
signifies that "in oriental lands the
veil is the power and the honor and
dignity of the woman; with the veil
on her head she can go anywhere in
security and profound respect; she is
not seen. 1t is the mark of thoroughly
bad manners to observe a veiled
woman in the street. A wom-
ans authority and dignity vanish
along with the all-covering veil that
she discards. That is the oriental
view which Paul learned in Tarsus."

There is not much doubt but
what the war with Mexico is at
an end. The United States ma
rines and sailors are in possess
sion Of Vera Cruz and hostilities
have been stopped pending ne
gotiations now being carried on
with Argentina, Brazil and Chile
as mediators, these countries
having offered their services to
bring the matters in dispute to
an amicable settlement.
The situation at this time is
that all the warning factions in
Mexico are to be asked to be-
come parties to the arbitration,
in hopes that a settlement can
be effected which will give to
Mexico a lasting peace, If the
money interest will keep hands
OFT now, the entire controversy
may be settled.
While negotiations are pending
for a peaceful settlement of the
difficulty, the United States is
rushing war preparations and
should nothing come of the offer
of the Latin-American republics
to make peace it is probable that
this country would wage cam
paign at once so strong and
forceful as to wind up the war in
short notice.
There is every reason to be-
lieve that peace will be secured
without further fighting or loss
of life and it is to be hoped this
will prove correct.

WhiteWash

Whitewash is the cheapest of
all paints, and for certain pur-
poses it is the best, according to
Farmers Bulletin 474. Lime,
which is the basis of whitewash,
makes a very sanitary coating,
and is probably to be preferred
for cellars and the interior of
stables and other outbuildings.
(The following directions for
making whitewash are taken
from white Paints and paint
ing Materials" by w. G. Scott:)
Ordinary Whitewash: This is made
by slaking about 10 pounds of quick
lime with gallons Of water.
The lime is placed in a pail and the
water poured over it, after which the
pail is covered over with an old piece of
carpet or cloth and allowed to stand for
about an hour. With an insufficient
amount of water, the lime is "scorch-
ed" and not all converted into hydrate;
on the other hand, too much water re-

Corn Tests.

The agronomy department of
the Montana experiment station
has on hand limited quantity of
three promising varieties of corn,
and in order to find out about
the maturity of these in different
localities, desires to have small
plots of this corn grown by farm
ers in different parts of the state.
The varieties are:
Dakota White Flint, an early
maturing, low cared variety, es-
pecially adapted for "hogging
off" in the field.
Northwestern Dent, an average
grain and fodder producer.
Triumph Flint, a promising
silage corn.
For six cents in stamps, which
will be sufficient to pay the post
age on the corn, enough of each
of these varieties will be sent to
plant seventy hills. Planting,
cultivation and harvesting in
structions will accompany each
package. Enclose stamps with
application for seed, to Alfred
