AMATEURS WITH THE CLUBS
Writers Who Have Made Names for Themselves Fail to Shine on
 the Golf Links.

Some time ago at luncheon at Delmonico's there were gathered Bob Davis of Munsey's, Irwin Cobb and Sam Blythe of the Saturday Eve ming Post and Herbert Corey, relates Vanity Fair.
 An argument arose as to whether Cobb or Corey was the better golfer. Neither had ever seen a golf match or had ever handled a club. And both ranged something beyond two hundred pounds in the way of dis placement. Davis backed Cobb and Blythe backed Corey for $50 a side. A taxi was subpenaed and the party forthwith moved to Dunwoodie, where the battle was staged, it being understood that neither golfer was to be told what club should be used nor advised as to how it should be used. The match started at the first hole at three o'clock. It was concluded at the third hole at 4 :50 o'clock. Cobb won the first hole in 27 strokes against 35. Corey rallied gamely and took the second in 29 strokes against 31. But Cobb broke up the match by grasping the finer points
 
 of the game at the third hole, where he turned in tidy 24, ,>Corey conced- ing the match where a perfectly played niblick from deep bunker into the cup would have given him no better than an even 30.

PICTURES GO OUT OF STYLE
Should Adorn the Room for the Present.

Pictures, 1t is said, are going out. No more will the notable still life entitled "Fish'' adorn the Louis Quinze rooms of the best families, nor will Landseer and Rosa Bonheur contend for the position of honor at the head of the stairs. Pictures are going out.
 We'll, blank walls do not a prison make, nor reprints a salon. It used to be thought, before the fashions be- gan to operate, that picture making was one of the eternal traits of the human composition, and that the de- sire to see pictures in the home was another. All that has been changed by fashions stern decree. No more pictures. Just walls.
 To those who are worried word of consolation may be spoken. Let them not destroy the pictures or dis pose of them. Ten years from now chance will come. The Raphael Madonna will be enthroned again over the mantel and Watts "Hope" will set off Reading From Ho- mer." Meanwhile, if pictures must go out, it is to be hoped that a little sanity and deal of beauty in house decorations will enter.-Exchange.

Golden Wedding.

Thursday, July, 20, 1916 was a real holiday for the good people of Eight Mile and Beedeville, the same being the 50th wedding an- niversary of MT. and Mrs. Jas per Nance of Eight Mile.
 Quite a number of people from McCrory attended and report a fine time. They state that hun dreds of people attended the days celebration which included ex- tending hearty congratulations to the happy couple for their long life of happiness and pros perity together, a lengthy -ad- dress by MT. Nance, songs by Messrs Reed, a talk from Rev. H. T. Raney and others, and last but not least one of the best and most completely arranged barbe- cued dinners ever enjoyed by any community.
 In his address MT. Nance stated among other things that he was 70 years young, that he had 22 grandchildren, four great grand children and that he was like the ambassador who was sent from the United States to England several years ago when new states were being rapidly added to the Union. Upon the ambassadors arrival in London he was asked how many states his government possessed and he replied that he did not know but that it had 36 when he left and they were being added St fast that he could not keep up with them now.
 Mir. Nance related some of his experiences during the Civil war his "reminiscences as a pioneer and the condition of the country 50 years ago as compared with 1t now. The celebration cOnclud- ed in the afternoon when all joined in singing, God Be With You Til We Meet Again" ," each one present wishing the host and hostess many more happy years of married life.

Queer Use For Cordite.

Some years ago Lord Haldane star
tied the house of commons when re-
plying to a remark made by another
member as to the danger attached to
the use of cordite by saying that he
himself possessed a walking stick
made Of cordite which he sometimes
brought down to the house and left in
the cloakroom. An uneasy look stole
over the faces of the members present,
but in a scientific and highly technical
speech his lOrdship explained that
cordite was a perfectly innocent sub
stance until brought into contact with
dangerous allies. and without certain
ingredients necessary to convert it into
an explosive it might he handled with
IMMUNITY. At the same time it was
noticed that Lord Haldane's stick was
given a wide berth when it was seen in
the cloakroom.

A boost For BarIex.


BARLEY is strangely neglected by the
cook Of today" says a writer in the
Woman's Home Companion. AS 1t
contains more starch and sugar and
less gluten than wheat, it might well
take the place of the potato on our, ia
bles and this with benefit to purse and
health.
"One cup of barley will swell to five
times its original size when cooked.
and its uses are wonderfully varied.
"As a breakfast dish. with sugar and
cream 1t is rich and satisfying; for
dinner, as a garnish for meat or with
rich meat gravy. 1t makes a savory
entree; at tea time cold steamed barley
cut I'm slices and Drowned in hot butter,
then served with maple strip, is deli
cious.
Combined with dried or fresh fruits
1t makes as wholesome desserts as rice
Indeed, there is no way in which rice
may be prepared In which barley can
not be cooked with just as good re-
suits. Barley requires long time to
cook properly, but now we have the
cereal cooker and the fireless cooker
and with them the opportunity to have
the perfect cereal"

The Gold Dust Was There.

North America has counted as a gold
producing continent only since the late
forties. But it might well have done
so for about 200 years. According to
the London Chronicle. in the voyage
round the world which began in 1719
the privateer Captain Shelvocke found
in certain California valleys "a rich
black mold which. as you turn it fresh
up to the sun. appears as if intermin-
gled with gold dust Though we were
a little prejudiced," he adds, against
the thought that it could be possible
that this metal should be so promiscu-
ously and universally mingled with
common earth, yet we endeavored to
cleanse and wash the earth from some
Of it, and the more we did the more it
appeared like gold In order to be fur

Lock Canals.

The Egyptians had canals before the
days of st. Paul, but the lock canal
which made it possible to cross noun
tains in a boat came only a few years
before Columbus discovered America.
To be told that Raphael in his spare
moments when not painting a Raphael
was constructing a locomotive would
scarcely surprise you more than to be
told that Leonardo da Vinci was a
pioneer canal lock builder.
But the hand that put upon the walls
Of that historic church in Milan The
Last Supper" also designed the locks
for Milan's canal.
That was just five years before an
other Italian from the nearby town Of
Genoa sailing a Spanish ship came to
anchor at San Salvador Before the
lock system was born canals had to be
on level ground. although in China
they had them on slight inclines.-

Theft In Ancient Wales.

''the starving man who, after begging
for three days and receiving nothing,
helped himself to the food which he
needed in order to keep him alive.
That every man had the right to live
was a principle of the law, and the
sentiment of the country demanded
that every person of substance should
keep open house not only for ordinary
travellers, but also for the destitute and

Devil Worship In Tibit.

The religion inculcated by Buddha
had certain cardinal points-the en-
enlargement of the ascetic life. the
maintenance of virtue. the exhOrtation
to persons of ali castles and both sexes
to aim at deliverance from the evils Of
existence and. lastly. the attainment Of
Nirvana.
But in Tibet Buddhism has been
grated on to the earlier devil worship
Of the people. and religion has been
evolved better expressed as Lamaism,
or modified devil worship. so that In
addition to the Buddhas and Bodisats
there have also come to be tutelary
and guardian deities of a terrifying
and malignant aspect. whose duty it Is
to defend the faith and the faithful
people from external attack. These
deities are depicted in grotesque and
terrible forms in all the mOnasteries,
generally in violently cOlored frescc
paintings at the entrance. - National

There were nine earths, according to

lucky. Nine knots made in a black
wooden thread served as a charm In

Horses In the Time of Homer

The horses used in Homer's time
were war horses. The warriors were
drawn i'm chariOts. The art of riding
was known, but it is alluded to as
something unusual. Ulysses at the
time of his shipwreck ''bestrode a
plank. like a horseman on a big steed."
There are reasons for believing that
the practice of riding was much later
than that Of driving, and the myth Of
the centaur, where. according to Shake
speare, man is incorpsed and demina-
tured with the beast" probably origi-
mated at an early period when the ap-
pearance of a man on horseback was a
novel sight.
