HOW GOLF IS PLAYED

To T ho uninitiated tin-re isn't much to ihe old Scoteh f.rniiic of poll', says the Milwaukee Wisconsin. Put nx one begins to play unending difficulties are encountered ami it requires no end of practice and haul work to fully mastor the sport. None but tho strong and nble-ltodied, the Ibhe and supple, tho quirk ami agile may ilay polf as it should bo played. Tho panic consists in driving a small rubber of gutta-pen ha ball over a course provided with a number of holes, usually eighteen all tho way from 1 h yard", j to ,VoO yards apart, ly means of clubs . of various shapes. Notwithstanding tin apparent simplicity of tlie pa me. limine with lifo ami jollity and strong excitement. ) Any number of players may play 1 polf. though it is usually by two and j threes. When two are playinp the ball j is started off. tho players strikinp al- j ternately. each havinp a ball, mini one man secures a lead over the other. Then he considerately waits until his companion moves up to him. The object of tho pa me is to pet your ball into the little holes before tho other fellow and in the last i.umber of strikes. To add to the ditlioultios of tho panic it must be played on roupli pround. where there are all sorts of obstacles, bushes, brambles hills, stones, bunkers" and in fact everythinp to make the course uneven. Tho balls used in stueieut days wen' made of leather and stuffed with feathers until they were as hard as Iton Club. Ordinary Driver, stone; but the golfing ball in use to-day is of putta percha. painted white so that it may bo seen easily.,with a corA l'rnppr Hlmle. tupated surface, and its weight varies from one and three-fourths to two Cllllees. At the bidding of the golfer, this little ball, sometimes railed the "putty." flies over bridges and streams and pa nd hills, through thickets, ami. alas! sometimes into sandpits, or even amid bushes, from which it is recovered with great difficulty, for the rules are Inexorable, and n ball must be hit exactly where it lies. When a hole is "made," however, and the ball has settled into the goal of the player's ambition, it Is. of course, impossible to play it for the next bole until it has been removed. A tiny pile of sand or earth, called a tee. is then made for it, just outside the hole, and within certain fixed limits called the teeinp ground, and tho little ball is then ready to set out on its next long journey. The player or side that wins the greatest number of boles in the entire round has the game: or . in medal play tho victor is the side or player making the round in the least number of strokes; and as certain conditions cause the loss of a stroke, one needs to bo very careful how lie strikes. Where a circular course is usel. that is where the start and finish is at the same spot, the holes on the outward journey are usually designated by white tlaps. and Uk.so coining iu with red flags. The space is tlie immediate vicinity of a hole is very interting part of the grounds, because, even if your ball Hies quite near the hole, n wrong shot may send it not quite near enough or far beyond, ami bo give that hole to your opponent. (I Iron 1'iitter. This ppace is called the putting preen und the process of holing the ball from here is called putting. There are two styles of dub. the wood and the iron clubs. P.oth have handles or shafts usually made of hickory, which is considered the best wood for that puriose. The head of the wood club is made of beech, apple or hornbeam. The first named is most feudally preferred. Wood clubs, shod or soled with bias are termed brassies. The iron club, which as the name indicates, is made entiiely of iron. Clubs of Scotch make are pener- : lly considered Ihe best and most reliable, ami their use recommended. " 'here are eleven wood clubs and sevei iron clubs. The variety of clubs

I two wood clubs the driver and putter, j and one iron club, called the lifter, I for heavy work. j It may leem an easy matter to i strike tho ball, but some bepinners will readily testify that on nianv oj casions it is uncommonly hard, and I then they will tell you of polf players ! who have master d the art to such a nicety ihal they lay their watches on the prour.d and strike tho ball off Unit Hall. without ! from them l.-ltinp the : Wat 1 es. j In playinp the panic it is necessary i to have a number of clubs differently i shaped, designed to pet the ball out of i ditlieult p'arcs.

It costs a lot of money to secure a nice out lit. so that it is likely to be eonliued to the well-to-do younp men.

I'lr ctrlrin tin Clnlm to Have Invented a Mnmn't Which AVI 1 1 Do Till. A New York electrician has invented a compass, which, if it will do all he claims for it. will, as tho New York World says, be of value to the mariners of inland waters aswell as t horse who sail the trackless salt waters. It will, he says, avert all dangers of collision between ships, and he is trying to interest the navy department in his device. Höing an instrument for the good of mankind the inventor will no doubt release all pecuniary claim to it and make it free to the world. I The compass is nltout two and one- ; half inches iu diameter and throe j incises hiph. rnderneath the needle is a strip of metal, rnderneath th j face of the compass is a saucer in j which a chemical is placed. The whole j is connected electrically with an enlarged horseshoe magnet ten feet long, made of soft iron bars. The pole of the magnet are connected by wire with the ship's dynamo, thus giving tlie electrical Mivcr. The moment a ship enters the magnetic lield of the vesel which carries this compass, which the inventor says he calculates at six miles, the needle of the compass j is directed in the direction of the ship, j In turning it passes over the metal ; plate on the face, and a it does so. : it. closes an electric circuit which sets i alarm bolls ringing, telling of the ap- : proach of the other vessel, i "I was on the steamer I.a (Jasoogne i six years ago." said he. "lookinp at j the compass. Suddenly I noticed the ; needle shake and turn half way round. The captain iKunted to a steamer four i miles off. 'That steamer." said he. 'is loaded with steel rails or canned poods. It has deflected our needle by I mnpnotio attraction. That set nie to ; thihkinp. and my magnet is the result. I experimented in the bav two

weeks ago with the magnet and it j whose appearance happened to disworked perfectly. I shall soon ex- please him. The audience was com-

periment on some craft furnished by the navy department." COrXTHY WlTHOtTT A WW. KiiiKloii of HelKinni Unix n AYnter Front, Imt Xo Shin of Unr. No invitation has been extended to the naval authorities of one neiphborinp country to participate in the festivities at the openinp of the ship i-anal between the North sea and the Paltic. which are to attract the armed ship of various European and American governments. That country, says the New York Still, is Relpium. and it is peculiar among European countries having a water front from the fact that it has no navy. This is the more remarkable when it is considered that Relpiiim includes within its Itorders one of the oldo$t ! harbors in Europe Ant werp whh h. ; at the zenith of its commercial sui ce-. bad as many as Ü.IMMI ships. The j commerce of Antwerp is still considerable, and a fair share of it is done with He i'nitcd States. ! When the war of lS'Vi culmiicit-d iu ' the independence of Ilelpium from the : rule of the Netherlands, the two counj tries were so divided that Holland had j the larger share of the seaccast line. : and ltelgium had a larger measure of i the inland country. Holland retained 1 nil the colonial possessions of the n I countries, and. iu order to keep up I connection with theni and protect j them from hostile assaults, the navy j was maintained by Holland, i Pelpium. havinp no foieipn colonies I to protect, was under no oblipations : to maintain a navy. Holland has now a considerable navy, havinp H ships and T.rrCii sailois. but I'clpium is able to get along w'thout any navy at all. though the Itclgiui: army, on a peace footing, is l'.nm men stronger than the Deich army, and, on a w:r fooling, has pto.iNiO men more.

THE FIGHT UKTWKKN THE HULL AND THE GRIZZLY' REAR AT LAREDO, TEX.

is arranged an amphitheater with a very large seating capacity. Every movement in the large open-topped cage in the center was easily discernible from every direction. When the crowd began to arrive, at about 3:30 P. M., the bull was standing I alone in the center of the large cage, j impatiently stamping his feet, lashing j his tail in the air, and now and then i making savage lunges toward anyone please posed in about equal numbers of Americans and Mexican business men and officials. Most of these people were excellent judges of the fighting qualities of bullflesh. The photographers arranging their cameras were especially objects of the bull's displeasure. Whenever they approached he would glare at them with his wicked eyes, paw up the soft ground, throwing the dust up in clouds, draw back to obtain a good start, and make a dash straight for them, often coming up with such force against the cage as to bend the threequarter inch steel rods. The betting was not heavy, though a number of small bets were made. The only large one was $100 to $500 that the grizzly would be killed. At 4:45 the eager crowd was gratified by seeing the case In which the Ramadan was confined brought into the ring, but the sight of it wus the signal for furious demonstrations on the part of the bull. It was then necessary to secure the services of a Mexican bull-tighter who was present. He went to the side of the thirtyfoot cage opposite the low sliding trapdoor, where the bear was to be admitted, and succeeded by his antics and by waving the usual red rag in so distracting the bull's attention until the bear's cage had been brought up against the largo one, both trapdoors lifted, and the bear allowed to pass 1 Into the inclosure with his antagonist. The bull-lighter withdrew and tlie bull, turning suddenly and seeing bruin approaching him, lowered Ids head and made a terrific onslaught upon the grizzly. The bear turned lo one side, howling for mercy ant received the full force of the impact upon Iiis side and shoulder. Had it not been for the suddenness and shortness of this first charge it in likely that the bull would have finished him at once. Turning about, the seined grizzly, who had worthily met the king of beasts in mortal combat, tied. Round and round the cage he went, howling a. he ran. for well he knew that here was an antagonist l e could not hug. It wan piobahly his exertions at this time t;-.it caused him to lone th.it power in resenting attack which he showed in his fight with Parnell. When he ceased runj ning and the. hull approached to renew j hostilities he navagely returned the asnault and then Jumped across the ring.

Then it was the h-JA's turn to laugh at everybody, for he was really the only spectator who enjoyed what followed. Tho hear grabbed the steel bars of the

cage, climbed up tlie sich, and put his head over the top. preparatory to jumping out.

At leapt h the ! bird became so destructive to tho .rowing lambs on the range that Mr. Ibriggs determined to w:ige a war of extermination. Accompanied by his pons IMdie and Willie, the latter about fourteen years old, he left his home one forenoon to search for the eagle's home. The two lads traveled along the Fummit of a low divide and the father followed up the bed of the little mountain stream. The boys were unarmed, but they were to call their father iu case they discovered the eagle's nest. Ihe two youngsters procaeded about a mile along the crest of the ridge and j stopped to rest in the shadow of a j lofty cliff. After some minutes' rest j the boys determined to ascend the peak, inoro out of curiosity ths.a a hope to find tho nest of the bird. Thev had nearly reached tho sumrait when they heard a screech and the bird swooped down upon them. Taken by surprise as they were, ami having" no means of defense except u branch of madroue which they had picked up to assist them in their ascent, the boys were frightened and nt a loss how to ccape the attack of the eagle. The elder brother instructed his companion to descend, stating that he would keep the eagle oft' until a place of i safety could be reached. Eddie ! obeved his brother's iniunction. but either through fright or exhaustion was unable to descend more than twenty or thirty feet when he called to his brother, who was battling with the e.igle, tint he was unable to proceed farther. , W illie then determined to descend and attract his father's aitentiou if j possible.

Henry Saunders, a prominent merchant of Victoria, British Columbia,; has just returned from Albern i, A-her$ he has been inspecting various gol quartz properties in which he is linan-j cialiy interested. On his homeward journey he decided to take a short cut across tho mouniainsJ the snow apparently offering a better road for walkiug than the trail. Some few miles were made safely aud comfortably, and then a soft spots was f-truck in which Saunders struggled to regain his foothold. At th same time a giant bowlder detached itself and went tumbling down to the canyon.. Released suddenly, the entire snow-covered side of the mountain commenced to slide. Saunders saw nothing but immediate and awful death before him, and in desperation clung to the side of the avalanche, which, gathering momentum as it progressed, soon had developed express train speed and power to sweep down giant trees of centuries' growth as though they were matches. The trip of the avalanche and its involuntary passenger was about four miles altogether, and it was accomplished in less than half an hour. Saunders, at the foot of the mountain found himself hurled into the Alberui River nud against a subwater bowlder with such force as to partially stuti him. Ho mechanically exerted himself to reach tho nearest shore and did so. Afterwards, soon as his strength had in a measure relumed, he returned lo Alberni in time to catch tho stage for Xanaimo, from which point Le returned home. The Minnesota Curlew.

About the middle of February the Council passe i an ordinauee providing that, beginning March 1, the bell on the engine house should ring at nine o'clock every eveuing, and that after that time no children should be allowed ou tlie street. The scheme met with considerable opposition at first from the boys and from some parents who had allowed their childreu to run the streets at night, but a few arrests soon demonstrated that the Council meant business and quieted most of the complainants. Occasionally venturesome boys stay out after the allotted time tu annoy policemen. A few nights ago an officer chased such a one several hl.v'.cs :ia-.i hm led him iu the station honst-.
