JJTIQUETTE ON THE LINKS. to lie Learned hy AmrlMa Playera from Xnirllah Cnnalna-Conald-eratlon for CadJla Not only in the actual playinj? of golf but in the etiquette of the game, the American players, or some of them might well learn something from the visiting Englishmen, says the Boston Transcript. An observer of all the games, and a participant in the practice rounds,' states that there was a marked difference between the Americans and the Englishmen in their bearing toward the caddi;s. The Americans, especially the college boys, were impatient if the caddie did not at once find the ball after the drive. The Englishmen did not hurry or worry at all. They almost in variably said "Than!; you" when the caddie did a service for which he was be ing paid. They consulted with the caddie and usually accepted his judgment as of value, even if it was sometimes in error. And they did not run. One of the caddies was sent up the hill at Myopia to indicate the direction of the hole. He started to run up the hill with his heavy bag of clubs, after a sharp command from one of the college boys. "Don't run, my lad," called out the Englishman for whom he was doing the service, "we've got all the time that there RELICS FOUND IN PARIS. fToaslI Hemalni Unearthed In Exca vating lor an Underground. Railroad. Geologists, naturallstsand paleontolo gists have been supplied with new doc uments by the excavations and subter ranean galleries made during the con struction of the Paris Metropolitan un derground railroad, which is rapidly converting the subsoil of the capital into a sort of gigantic rabbit warren. With commendable foresight M. Blen venu, the engineer in charge of the work, haa given instructions to all la borers under his orders to report at once any relics, bones, animal or vegeta ble remains, they may discover, says a Paris correspondent of the New York Times. The underground operations of the Metropolitan system are as yet not half completed, but already seven or eight hundred interesting objects have been unearthed, and scientists are employed by the city to collect, and classify them. Teeth of the wjiiiUi have been dug up be neath the Place de 1 'Opera and in a stratum of the chalk heights of Mont-; rnartre a gang of workmen found the skeleton and trunk of a mammoth. At Grenelle a couple of laborers discovered the skeleton of a mammoth mixed up with tlmse of a rhinoceros, hippopota mus ar.d an antediluvian bull. Sharks teeth are found In profusion. At Moulineaux the bones of a huge tapir and osMiry fragments that seenij to have funned part of the skeleton of a i gigantic bird have been brought toj light. Hfiieath tne Place de laBastilei layers of barnacles and mussels have btJtn discovered imbedded in silex. Vast deposits of gypsum have also been dis covered, and the geological formation of the beds is such as to lead scientists to the conclusion that Paris was once perforated with thermal springs like the geysers of Iceland. No vestiges of antediluvian man have yet been discovered, such a were found some years ago in the caves near Men ton, but the French geologists are keeitly alive to the opportunities afford ed by the excavations of the Metropol itan railway, and hope to find human re mains of t.hw i.ertiary period. Special instructions have been given to the workmen to look out not only for bones and re!ics, but h'ibo for traces or im- useful only as fuel, but we wouldn't have much more. "If Volta, Galvani, Franklin, Edison and others of their, line had expended 60 per cent, of their gray matter on for eign languages, we would not have the lightning harnessed to this train, and if Guttenburg and his pupils and Hoe and those who preceded him had given to Latin and Greek 60 per cent, of their best young thought., we might have some fine manuscripts, but you would nothave that newspaper in your hand. "If Watt, Stevenson, Fulton and com pany had made Caesar, Horace, Homer, Xenophon and Virgil their 60 per cent, mental companions, while their minds Wfiro mnhti-imr M , . .

Oalileo, Kepler and those fellows had been uosiDg among foreign roots with 60 percent, of their thought, we would likely feel proud that our little speck of an earth occupied the center of the universe, and would be beating drums to prevent the dragon from swal lowing the moon when he saw an eclipse approaching. "Hello! Here is my town. Sorry! for I have a lot more to say about this 60 per cent, matter. I know that some of these foxy chaps dabbled in the foreign languages, but they kept themselves down to about ten per cent., and din't use up their best energies on them. Good by." Hard to Exterminate. The captain of a well-known Aus tralian clipper, the Caduceus. wishing to clear his ship of rats, offered his crew a gla?s of grog for every rodent killed or captured. The result was speedily apparent in the diminished number of rats, yet, somehow or other, there were always a few, the crew, anxious for sup plies of grog, having devised a means of manufacturing them out of oakum. The captain's curiosity was aroused one day by noticing a rupposed rodent float ing very "light" on the port quarter. He waited his chance, and when the next man appeared with a rat the cap tain remarked: "Throw it to wind ward." The result was dead agfinst the sailor, for the oakum rodent was blown back on to the poop. Thence forth there were no more rats and no more extra grog. Shipping World. The Chryannthemnm. Cultivation of the chrysanthemum in China may be traced back to a very early date. Already in the eleventh century two strains were cultivated, the one bearing yellow ray flowers and the other white. Dr. Henry, who has col lected specimens now in the herbarium at Kew, England, believes that two wild plants are the progenitors of all the cultivated strains. The yellow flower is found throughout China and Japan. The white flower comes originally from Hupeh, China. am 4w mw-' u PUZZLES THE WISEST MEN.

Berthelot, the eminent chemist, who eagerly follows th progress of the ex cavations troin a scientific standpoint, declares that, owing to the radio-activity of certain bodies, it would by no mcino be improbable to discover in the subterranean strata of Paris images a sort of natural cliches, as It were of antediluvian life traced upon walls of rock.

The digestive tube Is filled with fer ments capable of attacking, of destroy ing and of transforming the food with which they come in contact, but these ferments attack neither the walls of the intestines nor the parasites which often live in abundance on these walls, says Public Opinion. What causes this con dition? The question has often been discussed and now the researches of M. E. Weinland on the tryptic ferment again bring the matter forward. In 1891 Frenzel stated that he believed the protection enjoyed by the intes tines was due to the antlferments which are secreted by the living tissues. An experiment of M. Weinland along this line is very interesting. A mixture was made of fibrine and of trypsine or of pepsin and the whole was placed to di gest after a little Juice of ascaris was added. No digestion occurred. The ex periment may be prolonged indefinitely, but the ferment does not attack the fibrine when the anti-ferment is pres ent. Thus It is not the living tissues which resist digestion, but the juices which Impregnate them and which they secrete. Young women may avoid much sick ness and pain, says Miss Alma Pratt, if they will only have faith in the use of Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. " Dear Mrs. Pinkham : I feel it my duty to tell all young women how much Lydia E. Pinkham's wonderful Vegetable Compound has done for me. I was completely run down, unable to attend school, and did not care for any kind of society, but now I feel like a new person, and have gained seven pounds of flesh in three months. " I recommend it to all young women who suffer from female weak ness." Hiss Alma Pratt, Holly, Mich. FREE MEDICAL ADVICE TO YOUNG GIRLS. x All young girls at this period of life are earnestly invited to write Mrs. Pinkham for advice; she lias guided in a motherly way hundreds of young women; her advice is freely and cheerfully jriven, and her address is Lynn, Mass. Judging- from the letters she is receiving" from so many young1 girls Mrs. Pinkham believes that our girls are often pushed altogether too near the limit of their endurance nowadays in our public schools and seminaries. Nothing is allowed to interfere "with studies, the girl must be pushed to the front and graduated with honor ; often physical collapse follows, and it takes years to recover the lost vitality, often it is never recovered. A Young Chicago Girl Saved from Despair. " Dear Mrs. Pinkham : I wish to thank you for the help and ben efit I have received through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound and Liver Pills.

Reading one day in the paper of Mrs. Pinkham's great cures, and nnuing tno symptoms aescriDea an swered mine, I decided I would give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. I did not say a word to the doctor ; I bought it myself, and took it according to directions regularly for two months, and I found that' I gradually improved, and that all pains left me, and I was my old self once more.
