Sport With Little Tolerance.


Sport With Little Tolerance.
Jim Rice has Il personal pride in ev-
cry good sculler and he has a healthy
respect for football player; but, nc
coTdiug to his lights, golfers are De-
cuIiar In general and irritating in par
ticular. "The idea Of calling those fell
lows athletcs!' Snorted the Columbia
coach. "A couple of high rollers i'm
bibc some Scotch and then adjourn to
a ten acre lot with some Skinny sticks
ana aim at little ball. The fellow
that hits 1.-THE wins"
Bob Gardner. who broke the worlds
record at pole vaulting between win
nins two national amateur golf cham
IionShiIs, was Il fair sample of GOOD
athlete, and the average golf profcs-
sional would be capable of holding his
own with most Scullers and stars of
the pridiron. OF course it is necessary
to hit golf ball in order to win the
match, but there is such n thing as
being too successful The man who
hits 1t the least number of times in
the round usually gets the larger share
of houors.

SMOKERS IN DICKENS WORKS
treat Novelist Had Many OF His Char.
acters Use Tobacco in One
Form or Another.

The "cigarettes" mentioned by Dick
ems in 1897 were brown paper cigars"
an informant writes to The 7. don
Chronicle, and We're evidently rolled by
hand in the fashion not unknown to-
day. though rapidly being superseded
by the machine-made article.
In the first chapter of Little Dor
rit,' written in ,S57. the villain Riguad
in his jail at Marseilles has tobacco
brought to him with his rations and he
rolls 1t into cigarettes by the aid of
little squares of paper which had been
brought in with it." The scene, by the
way is dated by Dickens thirty years
ago Whether the paper was white or
brown does not appear, but it seems
clear enough that the smokes in Ques-
uon, thus rolled in a prison cell, had
more likeness to the modern cigarette
imam to cigar. although the novelist
sometimes calls them little paper
cigars.
Little Dorrit," : think, adds the cor.
respondent. is the first of the novels in
which the word cigarette" appears,
although pipes and cigars are FREQUENT
~ mentioned, usually in the mouths Of
me morally less admirable characters.
Montague Tigg and Chevy Slyme both
move In an atmosphere in which tobac-
co IS added to frowsiness. Rogue
hlderhood's rascality is heightened by
ms use OF q pipe, and the depth of
oulIps inhumanity is emphasized by
his abilities in the way of what is now
called chain smoking" with cigars,
while he swallows boiling rum from
pannikin kept on the fire. Eugene
Wrayhurn's languid idlenoss is solaced
by cigars, but correct characters, such
as John Harmon, never touch what
IonF Weller calls ''the fragrant weed"

which has been the manufacturer of
parlor and chapel organs in Brattle-

There are about 300 organs, a large

to be disposed of. 1t is not definitely
known what will be done with the
factory, but several different concerns
have been looking it over and the
board of trade is searching for a
business to locate in this building. The
liquidation is brought about by the
shutting off of the foreign trade when
the war was started. At that time the
concern had fine line of agencies.

SPECIAL NOTICE.
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1910

People who affect to know all about
art are accustomed to smile in de-
rision at the untutored person who
admits that he doesn't know all about
1t, but says he "knows what he likes"
the assumption of the superior folk
being that what he likes is, of course,
the wrong thing. 1t appears now, how
ever, that the layman who looks ut pic
lures with the simple purpose of find
ing what he likes may not be altogeth
er deserving of condemnation, says In
dianapolis Star. A Boston art critic
comes to the front with the assertion
that general test for proving wheth-
er a picture is good or not is that it
must have comfortable" look. Di
vested of the technicalities which the
critic INDUCES in Il picture that is
comfortable to look at is one that can
be seen without a movement of the
eye-it is in a physical sense "vision
unit" Put in another, and less ele-
giant form, it is easy to look at. 1t
is not probable that the layman who
is unacquainted with art lingo, but
simply knows what he likes, could tell
definitely why he likes a certain pic
ture, but the chances are greatly that
he likes it because he takes it in
without difficulty that he finds it COM
Portable in the sense referred to.

A Michigan professor has been de-
'scribing the ideal woman, and says:
"She will be plump and well-rounded,
but not too fat" which sounds very
much like describing an animal. His
description was widely copied, though
there was nothing in it that no one
didn't know, but the symmetry of the
physical female is subject dear to
the human heart. If perfection in this
regard was universally insisted upon
as a condition of marriage the human
race would soon peter out, says Ohio
State Journal. But love and mar
riage and children do not depend upon
lines of beauty. They depend upon
the higher qualities Of head and heart.
AS a rule marriages based entirely
upon physical perfection do not turn
out the best. Health of soul is need
ed quite as much as health of body.
The women who are the finest in the
world may not be either plump or
well-rounded," but rather gentle in
disposition and kindly in demeanor.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inAamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine eesPs out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused
by catarrh) that cannot be cured by

The war has aroused Russia to the
necessity of railway development on q
scale which she would perhaps not
have dreamed of undertaking within a
quarter Of a century had she not
plunged into the European conflict.
Last year she purchased in the United
States $50 locomotives and so in Can
ada, costing between $4,000 and $780,
600 each. She is now endeavoring to
place orders in this country, says the
New York Commercial, for between
600 and 1000 locomotives of the same
type as those purchased last year.

cal year show that POI, ,527 immigrants
have been admitted into the United

country 212,47S emigrant aliens, max
ing net increase of population of
