Good Piny of n Golf Eutlinatnat.
"The Wilkie shot is what we call a
special stroke in the game of golf," said
a New Orleans man. "This stroke is
so called all over the south and was
given its name because it was made
by a man named Wilkie, a member of
the New Orleans Golf club.
"It was one of the prettiest plays I
ever saw and was made during a
match. Wilkie drove off from the ninth
hole, and his ball landed ln a small
creek, which was one of the hazards
in the course. The ball was lighter
than the water and floated. To take
it out and begin play over again meant
the loss of two strokes and the hole, so
Wilkie waded into the water, which
was about two feet deep, and played
the ball from there. He made a pretty j
stroke and was on the green, making (
it in two. lie holed out In three, which
is bogey for that hole. It was a cold
day, and that water was not pleasant,
but the act gained Wilkie lasting fame,
and Ids stroke will always with us
be called a Wilkie shot."—Louisville

THE WILD BIRD.
When the Nnturnltat Get* u Chance
to Study Him at Close Hawce.
For the greater part flf the year fear
is the dominant instinct in the life of
nearly every wild bird or mammal
which lias to contend with man or
smothered. Not one has sense
to seek shelter under the lee of the
fence, as a horse or dog would do.
Again, if a sheep gets into quick- j
sand its fate teaches nothing to those
that come immediately after, but the
sister. She is a'very carefully chap-
eroned young person, and when she
goes to the theater it is with her elders,
not merely with a friend or two of her
own lige. At the dances she attends,
songs, recitations and music for the
entertainment of the elders form a
part of the regular programme, and the
whole flock will follow the leader to chaperons sit at tables socially enjoy-
destruction. No more exasperatingly
stupid animal than a sheep walks.

wall. They managed to survive longer
as a distinct breed in the Isle of Man
than in Cornwall, the predominance of
the common tailed cat being of course
aided in the latter district by the fact
that, although remote, it is part of the
mainland of England, whereas new
cats could be carried to the Isle of
Man only by sea. The Manx cat which
first attracted modern attention was a
very different animal from the vari-
ously colored spc
take pri/.es at cat shows. It was al-
ways of tlie color of a hare and had
fur like a hare.
Like a bare, too, it always moved its
hind leg:--, together. lis chief food was
crabs caught on the beach, and when
transported Inland from the seacoasts
it very seldom, if ever, survived long.
No cat of this kind has been seen for
many years in the Isle of Man, though
there are plenty of tailless cats, its
crossed descendants, to be purchased
there. Wherever it originally came
from, the Cornish or Manx cat was
more nearly a separate species than
any kind of show cat now existing.
It was a seacoast animal, with fur.

the periodic revival of the reproductive
functions profound changes occur not
only in the bodily parts, but in tlie in-
stincts which govern their movements
and life. The parental instincts, which
are essential to the generation and
successful rearing of the young, begin
to assert themselves and by blocking
or supplanting the sense of fear hold
them to the focal point—the nest and
later the young—during the period
when parental care and even parental
sacrifice is necessary.
This wonderful parental instinct, or
series of instincts, rises gradually like
a fever, reaches a maximum and then
as slowly subsides. When at Its height
every sense seems to be lost in an all
absorbing passion. This is the time to
approach the wild bird. We can watch
and record with pencil and camera ev-

while the young folk glide over the
waxed floor to the strains of the latest
waltz. Dutch maidens have to make
the best of their opportunities of
amusement, for when it pleases their
parents to seek the quiet of home they
must meekly accompany them. In
their country the idea of a girl being
unchnperoned at a dance is not to be
thought of-at any rate, not yet.—Ex-

Stood by tlie'Reporter.
The late George W. t'hilds, the pro-
prietor of the Philadelphia Ledger, was
a man who supported his subordinates
when they were in the right. During
a bitter congressional campaign one
of the candidates called upon Mr.
Cliilds and said:
"Mr. Chllds, I have always consid-
ered you my friend. Am I right in
that assumptionV"
"Yes," said Mr. Cliilds in ills quiet
way, wondering what was coming.
"Well, I come to complain about your
political reporter. His reports of my
campaign have done me much dam-
age."
"I understand," said Mr. Cliilds,
"that our reporter has been printing ,
your own speeches. Is that true?"
"Y-e-s," was the hesitating reply. j
"Then," said the publisher, "you are J
the guilty mau. Y'ou are killing your j
own candidacy, and the Ledger is siin- j
ply giving a faithful picture of the j
performance. Blame yourself and not j
the Ledger reporter."
And that was all the satisfaction this I
influential politician could get from
the publisher.

Mortimer Menpes told the following
story of Whistler, who was to deliver
an address one day to the Society of
British Artists: "The master at length

with a swinging, jaunty step, evident-
imetis which now J ]y quite delighted with himself and the ;
world in general. He passed down the ■ on um..pe f].ult

Why Cnt Apple* Turn Color.
The rapid change of color in cut ap-
ples is due to chemical action on the
exposed surface of the apple after the
free admission of oxygen and not, as
was once supposed, to the presence of
micro-organisms, for if apple pulp is
sterilized and filtered the same thing
happens. The juice of an apple not
only contains water, sugar and various
acids, but a starch which ferments
when exposed to the air.
Lindet holds that the fermenting
matter and the acids also are in dif-
ferent cells in the uncut apple, but are
brought into contact as soon as it is
cut. This is, however, not to the point,
as the fermenting matter can only at-
tack the aromatic body in the presence
of oxygen. So long as the skin of the
apple is whole no change can take
place, but immediately this is wound-
ed the oxygen begins its work, carbon
dioxide is evolved, and the reddish
brown appearance sets in, especially

Mrs. Wolfe's Heeipe For n Good Wa-
ter For Consumption.
Mrs. Wolfe, the mother of the great
general, kept a comprehensive cookery
book, still preserved at Squerries Court,
Kent. One of her recipes was for "a
good water for consumption." "Take
a peck of garden snails," says the pre- j
scription, "wash them in beer, put them ;
in an oven and let them stay till they've
done crying; then with a knife and I
fork pick the green from them and j
beat the snails, shells and all, in a
stone mortar; then take a quart of
green earthworms, slice them through j
the middle and straw them with salt, |
then wash them and beat them, the pot J
being first put into the still with two i
handfuls of angelleo, a quart of rose-
mary flowers, then the snails and j
worms, then egriniony, bear's feet, red- j
dock roots, barberry brake, biloney,

handful of rue-tumoric and one ounce i
of saffron well dried and beaten; then !

Co urn see of n Horse.
Horses painfully contend on the race j
track for victory out of their own na- j
tlve courage -and ambition—not under'
punishment, for, as a rule, the coura ;
geous horse will "stop" or "shut up. as
the technical phrase is, when whipped
or spurred at the finish of a race. In
California some years ago a running ;
horse broke one of the bones in a lore- j
leg near the clow of a heat, perbapi
seventy yards from the wire. He
faltered for a moment and then, re-
covering himself by a mighty effort,
struggled on and won the heat prac-
tically on three legs.—Country Life ln

In the history of our comic literature
there have been many genuine "Irish
bulls" recorded, but rarely one that is
of a neater brand than that encounter-
ed at a political gathering on Locust
street above Broad, in Philadelphia,
says the Record of that city. A con-
vention of delegates had been called to
revise the rules of the party, and in or-
der to expedite matters a delegate
moved that a committee of fifteen lie
appointed to draft the proposed rfiles.
Before this was adopted another dele-
gate suggested flint a committee of fif-
teen would lie unwieldy and proposed
an amendment reducing the number to
eight. This was agreed to. but before
its adoption au aged delegate, with a
rich Milesian brogue, arose and sol-
emnly proposed, "Misther Chairman, I

A Battle of Langnagea.
Three or four languages strove for
mastery In ancient Gaul, which is now
France. German was spoken by the
12,000 Frank invaders. Popular Latin
was spoken by 0,000.000 Gallo-Romans.
Literary Latin was the language of the
church and of literature. Low Latin
was afterward the language of the ad-
ministration. German was tlie first to
succumb. In four centuries it ceased to
be understood by the soldiers, and in
seventy years more it bad become an
object of ridicule. But it survives in
more than IKK) words, expressing tlie
things of government, law and war,
and thus forms no insignificant part of
the French language.

j American origin first applied to them-
j selves.
During the Mexican war the army of
I Santa Anna was*composed mostly of
Indian peons who could neither shoot,
drill nor fight. To distinguish these igno-
| rant recruits from tlie trained regulars
I the Americans callcd them "greenies,"
I and the Mexicans, with their Latin
pronunciation, converted it into first
"greenos," then "gringos." Later they
applied it to those from whom they had
first heard it, thinking it meant some-
thing especially bad.
Not Without Distinction.
A note of family pride was struck
in tlie conversation between three small
Bonding boys the other day. The parts"
played by their respective grandfathers
in tlie civil war were being depicted by
two of the boys in vivid colors. The
career of each, it seemed, bad been
halted by confinement in southern pris-
ons. and It was on the latter fact that
tin: lads laid particular stress. The
third youth, unable to match these re-
citals with any military achievement of
his own forefathers, preserved an envi-
ous silence for awhile and then, not to
be outdone, said disparagingly:
"Why, that's not so much. My Un-
cle Bill was in jail a long time, ami he
was never in tlie army at all!"—Phila-
delphia Ledger.
Clinrity.
Every good act is charity. Giving
water to the thirsty is charity. Remov-
ing stones and thorns from the road la
charity. Exhorting your fellowmen to
virtuous deeds is charity. Smiling in
your brother's facc is charity. Putting
a wanderer in the right path is charity.

Gunpowder IIiikm.
It is possible to weave a very attrac-
tive fabric—as regards appearances, at
least—out of ordinary gunpowder. The
cloth looks very much like silk and
when ignited instantly disappears with-
out leaving a trace behind.
The fabric is used for making bags to
hold gunpowder, which in this shape
are loaded into big guns. When the
bags are of canvas, as is customary,
they are not consumed by the explo-
sion, and what remains of them after
firing lias to be removed from the pow-
der chamber of the weapon. But if
gunpowder bags be substituted for can-
vas the sack actually becomes part of
the explosive charge, and no trace of it
is left after the shot has sped.
