It is a gorgeous stcry that comes from the golf links of Cairo, and very good golfer will heraftcr carry a guu in his bag of clubs if he wish es to overlook no fine points, says th9 Illustrated Sporting News. After a splendid drive, a Cairo player watched the bail roll over the dii-ant turf, when to his horrified amazercent. a crow swooped down and carried it aloft. The golfer and the caddie put cff in chase, the caddie cursing in fluent Arabic. Then, to the delight of the golfer, the row dropped the ball cr. the green, and lie holed out in two strokes, which put Col. Bogey out of commission. The op ponent was threatened with apoplexy. As in the case of the Indian football trick of sticking the ball under his Jer sey, there was every kind of r rule in the book, except one to cover the unex pected, ancl the golfer's record, ably as fisted by his cTov-rip. hod to stand. Many years apo in Erfinnd, before a rule was made to fit a rlmilsr emergency in mr'-ot, it is rchtrd tint a batsmen A nocked a ball into a tall tree, where it leered in the crutch of a limb. There w, no climbing thp tre. and the near est as was a hnlf :r.i swy. TV-fore it could be obtained ti e tree chopped down, the man with the l;-t rrnce more than 700 runs, hurtlirir lt-rcon the wickets like a human shuttlecock. He stopped scoring runs then, orly because he ran hrmsf nut of ?'rofrfh and breath and fell en the turf still feebly trying to pile up pr.othr run, with one weary eye cocked ov the tree and all the opposing side frantically trying to chop at once. when the inflammable nature of the surroundings is considered. The stalls of the horses should be decorated with flowers. The orchestra for the occa sion, to be quite is keeping, need be only an accordion, a fiddle or a mouth organ, played by some young countryman who has done so before at dances of the real haymakers.

Haymaker's Picnic a .lew Form of Peatitity for the Country Ontlnic. A rather short and, on the whole, somewhat Insigniflcant-looking gentle man lately married a tall, handsome lady. He is, unfortunately for his peace of mind, of a jealous and hasty disposition, says London Tit-Bits. The other evening ha had left his wife outside a tobacconist's shop while he went in to purchase some cig-ar3. Just as he was coming out he saw a young fellow step up to her and raise his hat. As he drew near he heard the young gal lant commence in an affectionate tone of voice: "Excuse me, madam" Before he could get any farther our latter-day Othello burst on him: "Excuse me, sir, what is your busi ness with this lady?" "Eh?" returned the other, in a sur prised and cool manner; "my business is with the lady, and no one else." "Well, sir," said the husband, irri tat' by what he considered the ef frontery of the reply, "this lady, I'd have you to know, is my wife." "Dear me!" rejoined the young man, sarcastically, as he calmly inspected his assailant, from top to toe; "really, now, do you know, I'm astonished to hear it! " Enr?.ged beyond measure the hus band cried, fiercely: u you acaress anotner word to my wife I'll " "I dns't intend to now," broke in the young fellow, quietly; "and you will probably regret it before the day is out Good-day to you," and off he went. Less than half an hc;;r afterwards the lady missed a valuable bracelet which her husband had given her on her last birthday. And that gentleman reiuc tantly agrees with bis wile that the young man must have picked it up, and that he was about to return it to its owner when he was so rudely treated. The lady now possesses another brace let, so that the incident is not referred to so frequently as it might otherwise have been. tnus and an antediluvian bull. Sharks' teeth are found In profusion. " At Moulineaux the bones of a huge tapir and otwary fragments that seem to have formed port of the skeleton of a gigantic bird have been brought tc light. Beneath tbe llace de la Bastile layers of barnacles and mussels have been discovered imbedded in silex. Vast deposits of gypsum have also been dis covered, aud 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 as were found some years ago in the caves near Men- tun, but the French geologists are keenly allvfi to the opportunities afford ed by the excavaUims of the Metropol itan railway, and hope to find human re mains of th Lertlary period. Special instructions have ben given to the workmen to look out not only for bones and relics, but also for traces or im prints on rocks of any animals, for M. Berthelot, the eminent chemist, who eagerly follows the progress of the ex cavations from a scientific standpoint, declares that, owing to the radio-activ-lty of certain bodies, it would by no meant" be improbable to discover in the subterranean strata of Paris images a sort cf natural cliches, as it were of antediluvian life traced upon walls of rock. TOO MUCH LATIN AND GREEK. Talk of . Mi Who Gave Sixty Per Cfnt. of Si a Study to Dead LanR-aasrec. ITALY AND THE VATICAN. For the girls and boys spending their summer vacation in the "real counrty," there is no form of amuse ment more eujoyarde than a hay makers picnic. The big hay wagon 13 pressed into service, the girls mak ing it very attractive with festoons of wild flov.er3 and green leaves. Noth ing but the seating portion of the ve hicle is left undecorated. If the horses or oxen are sufficiently gentle they too, can he decKed out in floral finery In this festive looking cart the girls and boys, arrayed In genuine country lashion. are conveyed to the hayfleld 'he girls go in for sunbonnet3 and ffngham aprons, tbe boys wearing broad-brimmed stnw headgear, sim flar to that adopted by the real farm- rrs. and with overalls tucked into high boots, as tbe haymaker is always ictured. Once In the field the frolic begins, with which is combined some real help to the farmer, a3 the heaped up hay wagon soon shows. The luncheon. which has come later In a lees fantas tic wagon than the haymaVe' char fot, i3 eaten in we shady spot, ths eats being fragrant mounds of hay. No table i" rjrer.f', the rari'l vlchei and fruit being eaten from hp hands. A big can rf cool m'.:k or buttermilk is ?vie only beverare, r.n' '-t served in a tin dipper by an obliging farm hand. Wien it comes time for home going all ride on top of the load, which is not as easy a feat as it looks, for the hay has a curious way of slipping from under, suggesting a trip on a camel's back more than the ease of a cushioned seat If at night a dance In the barn can follow the picnic, the day will be com pete. Tor this lanterns furnish the fights, those which the farmers carry when they go to do the chores being preferred to the pretty Japanese ones. How the Bloodless and Unequal War Is Waged. It 5s a racred maxim, handed down from age. to age by the suc cessors of St. Peter, that what ever spiritual or temporal pow ers have once been placed within their hands shall be kept intact and unimpaired, says iviacmillan's Mnga zine. They do not admit defeat. What they do not possess de facto they at least possess do jure. L they have lost the substance, they retain the shadow, and if their earthly kingdom has been filched that loss, they say, will only be continued for a season, until that brierhter tlav returns when all shall be restored. The holy Catholic church, it is said, can allord to stand and wait An all-seeinr providence will L'ive her the victory at last. In the belief of all true Catholics it is certain that .she will eventually triumph as that the sun will rise npain. Meanwhile, though she nver hastes she never rests and she presses on her claims with a persistency which, if often silent, never flacrs. They are pushed unceasingly from hour to hour from day to day, from year to year and if the outside world can forget them or deride them Ihe government of King Humbert never can. It has to face an unsleeping foe whom no good will can over conciliate or ap pease, whose claims are incapable of compromise. Both demand the right to rule in the city of the Caesars and the victory of . one side means: the inevitable and endurirg humiliation of the other, So is waged the bloodless but unequal war. Yet, though the occupation of tbe quirinal is securely based on force, the Vatican has weapons in her arsenal of a less material kind with which she is well able to harass and annoy. RELICS FOUND IN PARIS. roaall aatna tJaarthd la Gies aj for aa Undera-roand Ball road. Geologists, naturalists and 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. Bien venu, the engineer In charge of the work, has 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 Parte correspondent of the New York Times. Tbe underground operations of the Metropolitan system are as yet net 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 squall have been dug up be neath the Place de 1 'Opera and in a "I tell you, professor, I would be bet ter off all around if I had 'small Latin and less Greek,' as was said of Shake speare," remarked one man to another, as he took a. seat in a Weetport car, relates the New York Sun. "Do you know that I have figured that I have put in fit) per cent, of my study time and mental ef fort on Greek and Latin, and what I have acquired from them in knowledge and mental discipline has been of precious little use to me from any point of view. "I really belle-e that I would be bet ter fitted for my business, for citizen ship, and every relation that I row enjoy, if I had cut that GO pr cert, down to ten, and given &0 to a closer study of the sci ences and English literature, which should have included Blac.ka.tone and Kent, as well as Bacon, Macaulay, Car lyle nd the rest of those chaps. "If all of th? men who are now helping to boost along this busy and progressive world had had 'toVscpend 60 per cent, of their young mental effort on Latin and Gree-k, we might have a civilization of mummies, who would present a fine appearance in their ancient cerements. Otdet Family In the World. "The oldest family in the world lives in Bell county, Ky.," said B.F.Creech, a prominent merchant e.f Four Mile. "I do nut mean that they have the longest pedigree, but that they have been here a long tim$, and have a fam ily history that is peril ops the most unique in the world.

United States Senator Newlands, aod O tier Udies of Miss Roosevelt's party, went to tbe Summer palace Wednesday and spent the oitflit. Yesterday they were received in formal audience by the Dowager Empress. Mrs. Rockhill, who was first pre sented to the Empress, introduced Miss R 'otevelt first and afterward the other ladies of the party. The Empress moved among the visitors, chatting in formally aud presenting them with handsome gifts of bracelets and rinirs. This was followed by an inflection of tie ground) of the Summer pahce. The wbo'e visit was remarkable on ac count of the absence of formality. Returning fo Pekin in the evening, most of the p.irty attnled sn '"at home" at the German Minister's, where General and Mrs. Corbin and Senator and Mrs. Newlands are being entei taiiel. The party fpent today feeing the 8inht of Pekin. Tomorrow all will go to Tie i Tsin to attendj a reception given by Viceroy Yuan Hhai Kai. Clared for Action.
