Some Golf Statistics.

Golf is only "a years old in America,
but already the statisticians estimate
that it costs US $5O,000,O00 annually,
caddies alone accounting for $12, $780,
600. Makers Of ornaments are evident
" not the only manufacturers who de-
rive their profits from encouraging
rivalry. But, then, the only losses in
CURED by excessive golf are time,
money and temper. One university
professor also charges it with encour-
aging large numbers of boys to fritter
away the time they might have used
in learning a useful trade, but the
caddy with his ears open can learn a
lot more than bad language, and If
careful, can save enough to start in
business, that is If he does not become
rich enough to retire. Many caddies
make more than some university pro-
fessors.

ARABIAN HORSES DYING OUT
international Society Being Formed
With a View TO Perpetuation of
This Valuable Breed.

The Arab horse, a race which has
been all-important in the development
of the most valuable equine breeds OF
the present day, is said to be de-
teriorating in quality and diminish
ing in numbers in its original home,
owing to the changing habits of the
Bedouins and increasing expectation
AS a step toward preserving this
famous breed there is being formed in
Cairo an international horse society
The first work of this society will be
to start a studbook, one part of which
will include only pure-bred horses Of
desert origin. while the other will be
open to all so-calied Eastern" horses
that is, horses bred in the near East,
but having an infusion OF alien blood.
Pure-bred Arabians are now found
only among the different Bedouin
tribes Of the Arabian and Syrian
deserts Tin Mesopotamia and the

Egypt and IN a very few European
and American studs.
The society will hold annual shows

dauntless bravery, when whole ma

in Paris during the French mobiliza-

The school readers Of a past gen
Grafton told the brave story of the bat

August, 1916, N which the English
defeated the french with great slaugh-

dead was the old blind king Of Bo-
hemia, who was led into the battle by
guides. His standard was taken and
carried to the black prince. On it
was his crest, three ostrich feathers,
with the motto in German, Itch Diem"
(''I serve'). This the prince adopt
ed; and it has been borne ever since
by the successive princes Of Wales in
memory Of this victory.
Today it is being urged by British
newspapers that the language Of the
Teuton be removed from the badge
and the plain English, 81 serve" be
used in its stead. To the feathers
taken from John of Luxembourg, king
of Bohemia, with the motto, the cor

As they did so, one Of them pointed
in the direction of the shop, and re

Tasks for European Statesmen.

One hundred years ago the congress
Of Vienna was at work in an endeav-
or to readjust the map Of Europe
the same task that the European
statesmen viii be called upon to per-
form when the present great conflict
is ended. Curiously enough, the ques-
ton of Poland constituted one Of the
most perplexing problems before the
congress Of Vienna, as it probably
will at the next great conference Of
the nations following the present war.
A century ago, as now, the national
instinct of Russia aimed at nothing
short of claiming possession of the
whole Of Poland. And then, as now,
England was inclined to keep anxious
watch upon the excessive aggrandize-
ment Of Russia, and TO oppose the
latter's plans for the annexation Of
Poland.

EngIisFnlan Describes What One
Might Call the Game of "TraV-
cling ny Ear"

A new way Of passing the time on
the railway train is described by a
writer in the Manchester Guardian,
who modestly adds that he does not
think the game as silly as putting
jig-saw puzzles together
My fellow travellers think I am
asleep when shut my eyes and lean
back on the cushions OF the railway
compartment. But in reality am
amusing myself with a little game of
my own, which I call travelling by
ear" You can only do it satisfactor

line, although it is quite interesting
on a strange road. On the route

very well by tie sounds of the track
I can tell to a yard when we are
running on an embankment, when we
slide into a cutting, when we run
through a station, and what station it
is (this mainly by the sound of the
adjacent bridge that we run under or
over. The sound of a. deep rock cut
ting is quite distinctive, and different,
although there are points Of resem-
! blance, too, from the dull roar of a
tunnel.
Tunnels in limestone, adds our cor
respondent, seem to me to have an in

changes into easy gliding and swifter
speed on the level. On my homeward

yards of deep cutting, we run under
wide and shallow bridge just before
the home station is reached. I time

First to pistin Perfumes.

The process of distilling perfumes
was invented by Avicenua, an Arabian
doctor who lived in the tenth century.
He was the first to discover the proc
ess of separating the aroma from the
plants and flowers so that it could
be used instead of greasy unguents
and smelly oils. Early-day physicians
used to prescribe certain sweet odors
for various ailments, particularly in
the case of nervousness. The Egyp-
tian women wore strings of scented
beads on their necks, as do the Chi.
nese women of today and the modern
woman with her string of scented
rose beads.

writes Arnold Bennett in the Century

"A certain shameful crime is often
committed on yachts, merchantmen
and even men-of-war It is notorious
that Nelson committed this crime again
and again, and that other admirals have
copied his iniquity. Sailors, and par

er be accused of any wickedness rath-
er than this. Charge them with cheat
ing at cards, running innocent women,
defrauding the government, and they
will not blanch; but charge them with

will recriminate, and they will lie dis
gracefully against all evidence; they
cannot sit still under the mere sus-
picion of it.

One hundred years ago the famous
American privateer General Armstrong
met her doom in a heroic battle with
three British warships. The engage
ment took place in neutral waters, II
tie harbor of Fayal, belonging to
Portugal, which fact resulted in a
historic diplomatic controversy. Pres
ident Madison took steps to compel
Portugal to insist upon the inviolabil-

award, but later Louis Napoleon, to
whom the matter was referred as ar
bitter, reversed the award. Great
Britain apologized to Portugal for the
act of the British commander in at

Interesting Finds in India.

In recent researches at Surat Castle,
India, Prof, o. " Muller of Bombay
says he was shown large number of
records dating from 1850 to 1880,
which had been recently discovered in
the cells Of the castle. These were
largely price lists and other matter
valuable to a study of Indian economic
history. The most interesting find,
however, was a proclamation written
in Marathi in the Modi script which,
after narrating the iniQuities of the
Peshwa Bali Rao, declared that he had
been vanQuished and afterward his
dominions annexed by the Hon. East
India company. The document add
ed that if anyone should be dis
posed to disagree with this or
desire to operate it, he would do
SO at the fine of his life and
the confscation of all his worldly pos
sessions. Finally, the document was
signed by order of Mountstuart FL
phinstone Bahadur" by his Marathi
secretary, and certified by huge and
still most perfect seal of Elphinstone.
