There was an official editor, and the gazette was exhibited daily in public. It was copied by scribes, who sold it to their customers. The Acta contained announcements or decrees by the government, notices relating to the courts, and other matters of public interest, such as birth, marriages and deaths.

F racing is the eport of kings, polo is the sport of millionaires. Any king, even though he may be an insignificant Indian potentate or a ruler of a Balkan state, with a pock-

etbook of slim proportions, may own a racing stable, but only a man of great wealth can afford to maintain a big string of polo ponies. For race horses, if they are fast, can earn their keep and make a profit for their owner. But a polo pony Is nothing but an expense from the day he is bought until the day of his death. The only thing he can earn is a modicum of glory and a few cups which as a rule do not cost as much as his saddle and bridle. From this it may be gleaned that between racing and polo there is a distinction with a difference. Harry Payne Whitney spent $20,000 on the international polo series of games played at Meadowbrook, L. I. The duke of Westminster’s expenses for the polo challengers amounted to $60,000. All this for the sake of a silver trophy worth $4,000. The cost of polo depends largely upon the inclination and desire of the poloists to spend money. Some men can enjoy the sport at an outlay of a few hundred dollars a week, while others will spend as many thousands. H. L. Herbert, chairman of the Polo association, recently said in reference to the cost of polo: “It all depends on how much a man wishes to spend on the game. One man may be satisfied to own maintain three ponies, while another will want at least thirty at his command. The expense is much like that of the opera. One man can enjoy it for a dollar, while it will cost another thousands for a box.” Harry Payne Whitney and the duke of Westminster own and keep in training the largest string of polo ponies in America or England. The maintenance of these ponies costs them thousands of dollars each year. They are the financial backbone of the sport in this country and abroad. Both enjoy the sport thoroughly, and as they are experts at the sport the money that they spend yearly is to them but a trivial matter. But for their generous support of the game there would not have been any international matches during 1909, 1911 and 1913. Mr. Whitney supplied the “sinews of war” which sent abroad In 1909 the American team, of which he was the captain. It was his outlay of money and purchase of many great polo ponies that enabled the Americans to win the cup which the Englishmen had won and kept for 23 years. This year the duke of Westminster defrayed the expenses of the English challengers. Until he came to the financial rescue the English players had abandoned all hope of bringing the ponies over here to play for the trophy. Whitney and the duke of Westminster each own 30 polo ponies. They hire trainers to develop the speed of the ponies and teach them the elementary parts of the game. The salary of these trainers is $4,000 each. In addition to that there are a big corps of Stable lads to support, for the attendants not only receive salaries ranging from $25 to S4O a month, but in addition are allowed their lodging and board. This, with the cost of food, saddles, bridles, bandages, lotions, medicine and the attendance of a veterinary costs many thousands of dollars. A good polo pony these days costs many thousands of dollars. In many respects hie value is as great as a race horse, though his earning capacity is considerably less than that of the latter. The best ponies are bred In Ireland and England, but of late years the ponies bred in Texas, California and the Hawaiian islands are equal, if not superior* to the foreignbred horses. There is now such a great demand for polo ponies that they are specially

WOMAN’S PLACE IN THE WORLD

While woman’s place in the world is not merely that of a useless ornament, she surely never was intended to detract from the general art effects of nature. And this she does when she ambles along in awkward ungainlinees, distorting every beautiful line which Is her divine Inheritance and making of herstlf a most unattractive picture. Feminine beauty is not a matter cf

Long-Lived Mine* and Profit*. Are long-lived mines more profitable than short-lived ones? The average investor would consider this a foolish question, assuming naturally that the longer a mine lasts the greater the accumulated profit*. Just about the contrary is the case. The figures supplied by the mine* de partment of Johannesburg, where the regularity of deposits on the Rand makes it possible to gauge the live* of with accuracy, should convince the skeptic that owing to compound in

bred for that purpose. In 1876, when the first games of polo were played in New York, it was possible to buy ponies for prices ranging from $35 to SIOO. Mr. Herbert once bought a pony for $35 that afterward developed into a crackerjack and his value soared to $2,000. Os course that was an exception. Nowadays ponies suitable for polo cost from SSOO to $2,000 each. When Mr. Whitney prepared for his campaign in England in 1909 he spent $85,000 for ponies. Since then he has added many more to his string and has spent at least $40,000. It will be seen by this that he has expended in the neighborhood of $125,000 for ponies alone. One of his ponies cost him $15,000. This was the high-water mark paid for any pony, but many good ponies have cost $5,000. The duke of Westminster has spent in the neighborhood of $125,000 for his aggregation of ponies. The ponies that were used in the international matches were made up in large part of thosie owned by Mr. Whitney and the duke of Westminster. Several ponies, however, have been donated for the use of the players by various Americans and Englishmen who are interested in the game. “It takes several years of hard training to make a pony suitable for pole playing. He is usually bought when three years of age and for two years is taught the elementary parts of the game, such as not to shy at the mallet, to follow the ball, to “break” quickly and to obey the slightest touch, of the reins on his neck. Most Ponies are trained so that the rider may guide them by simply touching them on the right or left side of the neck with the reins. Many persons not familiar with pcto consider the fastest pony the best pony. This is an erroneous idea. While speed is an essential qualification for a pony, he Is utterly worthless If he does not know the game thoroughly and is not subject to instant c'ntrol. If bls speed cannot be

One has to be careful to get his own water glass, etc. The knives and spoons should be placed on the right, and the forks on the left of the plate, at even distance from the edge of the table, with the water glass at the end of the knife.

checked hell run over the ball and carry his rider out of the zone of play. A pony that will twist and turn as though on a pivot and then “break” and race at top speed and stop instantly at command is the ideal polo mount. His value is beyond price. There are many poloists who cannot afford to maintain large strings of ponies and hire a trainer. Most of these men have from three to six ponies in their string. They place ths ponies in a public training stable. The cost is S3O a month for each pony. These public trainers hire stable lads to exercise and take care of the ponies. One boy looks after four ponies. The actual cost of feed for a pony is sl2 a month. Some of the expenses other than those of buying and maintaining the ponies, cost the players many dollars. The balls, made of light willow, are furnished to the Polo association at ten cents each. One firm has a contract to furnish the polo associations with 20,000 balls. The mallets are worth from $2 to $3.50 each. The heads of the mallet are frequently broken in the game or during practice. It costs a dollar to replace the heads. The helmets the players wear cost from $4 to $7 each. The riding boot* are worth from sls to $25. The ridjng breeches cost from $8 to sl2. , Device to Keep Record of Hens.

HSi Lesson (By E. O. SELLERS, Director of Evening Department The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR AUGUST 3 , THE PLAGUES OF EGYPT. LESSON TEXT—Ps. 105:23-36 (cf. Ex. 1:8-11:10.) GOLDEN TEXT—“Whosover shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and ■whosoever shall humble himself shall be exalted.”— R. V. Matt. 23:12. While this Psalm is a succinct statement of all that is contained in Exodus, chapters 7 to 12, still no teacher can judge himself as having made proper preparation who has not stud led carefully the earlier record. Beginning with those of discomfort the plagues become more and more severe until the last and the crowning one, the death of the first born, caused the Egyptians to thrust out the Israel ites with haste and gladness, laden with an abundance of “spoil.” Pharaoh trusted in the superior greatness oi the Egyptian gods, he also had great pride in his absolute power and hated to lose the profitable service of his Hebrew slaves. Over against this was God’s right to demand the worship of his chosen people, God’s profuse warnings to the proud Egyptian and the inevitable outcome of the man, tribe, or nation who sets up human will in opposition to the plans oan Omnipotent God. True thanksgiving and praise are based upon “His marvelous works” (v. 5 R. V.) Israel Made Strong. I. The Induction of Israel lnt» Egypt, w. 23-25. By “Israel” in verse 23 the Psalmist does not refer to the nation but rather to the supplantei who became “Israel, a prince.” Hie induction into Egypt was in accord ance with God’s purposes and plan, yes, his specific command, Gen. 46:2-7, Acts 7:9-15. God increased the de scendanta of Israel greatly in the land of Egypt, see v. 24. At the same time God made those same descendants stronger than their "adversaries” on account of the fact that Jehovah fought on their side, see Rom. 8:31. 11. The Exodus of Israel From Egypt, w. 26-36. Now the Psalmist is referring to the nation. In Exodus there are recorded ten plagues, here there are mentioned but eight. The plague of the murrain of beast* and the j>lague of boils, the fifth and the sixth, are Here left out for some reason best known to the Psalmist. God saw the afflictions of Israel but sendS relief through human agents. Moses was God’s “servant” (v. 26) and Aaron “His chosen” (I Sam. 12:6) so also is every true believer. Their work has to “shew” (v. 27) God’s wonders in the land of Egypt (Ham). They were to shew “His” wonders, signs, the “Words of His signs” (R~ V. marg.), and none of their own. In other words they were to be the visible embodiment of God’s character and power. Worshiped the Nile. The Psalmist then turns to the first of the historic plagues. The Egyptians were so dependent upon the Nile that they personified it and worshiped it. They had shed the blood of the Israelites and were given blood to drink, see Rev. 16:5, 6 and Gal. 6:7. The third plague was directed against the goddess “H*kt,” queen of two worlds, and who was represented by a frog-like figure, see Ex. 8:8. It was after this calamity that Pharaoh temporized. The third and fourth plagues are grouped together in verse 31. God often uses very little things to humble the great ones of earth. Life is made up of trifle*, but life is no trifle. Pharaoh had proudly boasted of his agnosticism (Ex. 5:2) but when he sought to try conclusions with God and said, “Neither will I let Israel go” God let him wrestle with frogs, lice and flies. We thus see a man setting himself against God who is not able to overcome these smallest of pests. As we have mentioned, the fifth and sixth plagues are omitted from this record, hence the plague mentioned in v. 32 is in reality the seventh (Ex. 9). It was a rebuke to the God of the air, and from Rev. 8:7 and 16:21 we learn that it Is to be repeated in the end of time. Though Israel was free from the eighth, the plague of locusts (v. 84) they did suffer from a like experience In later days, Joel 1:1-7. These small pests can turn a fruitful land Into a barren waste. But the culminating plague (v. 36) was the smiting of the first born. Even Israel could not escape this calamity except by the previous shedding of blood, Ex. 12:3-18. God gave Pharaoh *mple warning, Ex. 4:23. Refusing to field under the lesser judgments, God brought this supreme penalty, smiting all the first born, “the beginning of kU their strength” (R. V. marg. v. 36). Strong Argument. ”What do you consider the strongest argument In favor of prohibition?” was asked of a zealous anti-saloon worker. “My boys,” was the quick reply. “What is your strongest ground tor hope for the triumph of this movement?** "My boys,” was the equally ready response.

IRENE KNEW A BETTER WAY L ■ Small Girl's Naive Confession Somewhat Weakened Force of Papa’s Little Rebuke. The amusing quality of children’s sayings frequently depends upon the viewpoint of the adult listener. Only those who can thoroughly enter into and sympathize with the child nature get the full flavor and savor of many a piquant childish remark. The mental attitude of the critic, for example, has much to do with due and proper appreciation of one of the favorite child stories told by the actress, Grace George. A family dinner table serves as background for this story, and father, when it begins, has just reproved his ten-year-old daughter for handling greasy food with her fingers, then wiping them on the front of her dress. “Look at your little sister! Irene doesn’t get her dress soiled, as you do, when she eats.” “No," is Irene’s prompt and serene acknowledgement of the compliment, "I keep my dress nice an’ clean in front. I wipe my finger ’way down at the bottom." SCALP TROUBLE FOR YEARS 268 Harrison St, Elyria, Ohio.—“My case was a scalp trouble. I first noticed small bunches on my scalp which commenced to itch and I would scratch them and in time they got larger, forming a scale or scab with a little pus, and chunks of hair would come out when I would scratch them off. It caused me to lose most of my hair. It became thin and dry and lifeless. I was troubled for over ten years with it until it got so bad I was ashamed to go to a barber to get my hair cut. “I tried everything I could get hold of, and — , but received no cure until I commenced using Cuticura Soap and Ointment when the scale commenced to disappear. The way I used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment was to wash my scalp twice a day with warm water and Cuticura Soap and rub on the Cuticura Ointment. I received benefit in a couple of weeks and was cured in two months.” (Signed) F. J. Busher, Jan. 28, 1913. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world. Sample of each free,with 32-p.

SAW COMING STAR IN CALVE Al Hayman First to Recognize Singer’s Great Powers, and Henry E. Abbey Did the Rest. Several years ago Al Hayman, who was in London, met the late Henry E. Abbey, who was then our greatest impressairo. Mr. Abbey was presenting opera at the Metropolitan and waa searching Europe for new singers. As they sat over their coffee after a comfortable dinner in their club Mr. Hayman described the trip he had just taken through provincial France. "And, by the way,” said he, "I heard a most remarkable young woman sing Carmen at some little out-of-the-way place." Searching through his pockets he finally came upon her name in his note book and gave it to Abbey, who seized his hat and called a cab. “Where are you going?” said Hayman. "I’m going to Paris immediately and find where she is and go to hear her," replied the impulsive Abbey. He found her in a dingy little opera bouse in a small provincial town and heard her sing Carmen. That night he had her signature to a contract, and that is how New York came to hear and acclaim the great Calve before ever Paris had heard of her. Appliances for Measuring Time. Mechanical appliances for measuring time were in use from the earliest ages and clocks of one kind or another were made in Europe btefore the discovery of America. Brass wheel clocks with weights, standing six feet high, such as are now called grandfather clocks, were common in England and Germany long before the revolutionary war. The first clockmaker in the United States was Eli Terry, who made his first clock with wooden wheels in 1792, and afterward made a great many, and they were good timekeepers. In 1807 he contracted to deliver 4,000 wooden wheel movements to a certain firm, and it. took him threq years to fill the order. Seth Thomas, once a well known Yankee clockmaker, learned his trade with Eli Terry. Brass wheel clocks were first made in the United States in 1837.
