Judging from late statistics, India
still remains a magnificent country for
sportsmen. In 1892 21,988 human be-
ings and 81,668 head of cattle were
killed by snakes and wild beasts, the
chief human mortality—19,025—having
been due to snake bite. Tigers claimed
947 human victims, leopards 260, wolves
162, bears 145, and elephants 72. On
the other hand, whereas only 4,498 cat-
tle were killed by snake bite, no fewer
than 20,969 were devoured by tigers,
30,013 by leopards, and 6,758 by wolves.

Velvet trimmed with fur is the cor-
rect thing for elegant street and car-
riage gowns. The usual fur is sable.
Velvet cloaks, too, are much in vogue,
really pushing fur hard. This is prob-
ably because there are so many cheap
furs and imitations on the market.
Many there are who prefer capes en-
tirely of cloth, topped, perhaps, by a
fur boa of good quality to an entire
garment of a poor quality, of pelt. A
point that finds women of as many
minds as this one is as to the best length
for a cape. Some condemn short capes

The Bostonese for It.
The spectacled lassie from Boston
had taken a country school in the
southwest, and about two or three
weeks after she had begun teaching
one of the trustees visited the school.
‘ ‘Well, how are you getting along?”
he asked.
“Very nicely now, I thank you,”
she replied, “but it was very hard at
first.”
“Is that so?”
“Oh, yes; you see, in the beginning 1
tried moral suasion as a coercive meas-
ure, but failing in that I resorted to a
tangible instrumentality.”
“A what?” gasped the absent-minded
trustee.
“A tangible instrumentality,” she
repeated sweetly; “a good, stout, hick-
ory switch, don’t you know.”—Detroit
Free Press.
Prospects of a Settlement of Holland-
ers in Jefferson County.
G. and W. Von Amerongen of Or-
ange City, la., are in Galveston. They
a?e here for the purpose of locating a
Dutch colony of about 5C9 people at
some point in Texas, and with this end
in view met Mr. E. E. Carpenter of
the Gulf and Interstate railway, who
will at once leave with them for Jeffer-
son county, where the colony will, in
all probability, be located.
The colony is now located in Iowa,
where they are now engaged in truck
farming, but they desire a change and
have sent‘the Messrs. Amerongen to
Texas to locate a suitable spot upon
which to settle.
The Galveston Business University
is well settled in its elegant quarters
in Harmony Hall. Now is an excel-
lent time to enter.
“The Devil’s Auction.”
Charles H. Yale’s previous produc-
tions of “The Devil’s Auction” in this
city have been so satisfactory that his
excellent company in the “newest”
edition of the same play was greeted
by a packed house last night at the
Tremont. The changes that have been
made in the piece have rendered it
more entertaining and attractive than
ever before. It is a string of fun from
beginning to end, with the most strik-
ing scenic and mechanical effects,
beautiful ballet and solo dancing, mar-
velous acrobatic feats, brilliant cos-
tumes, etc. The “Trials of the Trolley”
and the “Rialto” kept the audience in
a roar during the entire time of their
presentation. The “Advent of Spring”
at the close of the piece is one of the
most beautiful scenic effects that has
been witnessed here.
The company is very evenly bal-
anced and the different parts are well
sustained. Miss King as Crystalline
and Miss Stephens as Carlos handled
their parts satisfactorily, the latter’s
rendition of the “Rialto” being very
pleasing. Senoritas Chitlen, Barto-
letti and Amore, the principal dancers,
are artists in their lines and were gen-
erously applauded. The ballet g rls are
good looking and took care of their
part of the program in a pleasing man-
ner. It is few plays of this character
that will hold an audience for three
solid hours, but when the curtain went
down on the last act last night the
audience seemed anxious to see more.
The “Newest Devil’s Auction” is be-
ing given as a matinee th-.s afternoon
and will be repeated to-night.
The next attraction will be Lillian
Lewis’s spectacular production of
“Cleopatra” to-morrow matinee and
D ‘ gilt. ________________________

About the Dollar Mark.
There are several theories to ac-
count for the origin of our dol-
lar mark (.$). First—Some say it
is a combination or monogram
composed of the letters U nand S,
the initials of the United States. Sec-
ond—It may have been derived from
“H. S.,” the mark of the Roman money
unit. Third—It is probably a combina-
tion of P. and S., from Pesoduro, a
Spanish term signifying “hard dollar.”
A fourth reason assigned is that it is a
“piece ofieight,” and designated by the
symbol 8.
The Jeweler’s Carat.
The carat is a standard used by the
jewelers to express both weight and
fineness. When it is used as a weight
it is equal to four grains, or the one
hundred and twentieth part of an
ounce troy. In determining the fine-
ness of precious metals, twenty-four
carats is considered the highest stan-
dard of purity. According to this stan-
dard an eighteen-carat gold ring con-
tains three parts of gold and one of
some base metal.

THE GAME OF GOLF. f
What the Popular Sport is and How it is '
Played.
Briefly stated, the game of golf con- f
sists in driving a small gutta-percha
ball around a course provided with a
number of holes, generally eighteen, .
from one hundred to five hundred ;
yards apart, by means of variously ■
shaped clubs. However tame this
statement may seem, the real game is (
brimming over with life and jollity
and strong excitement.
The balls used in ancient days were '
made of leather and stuffed with feath-
ers until they were as hard as stone;
but the golfing-ball in use to-day is of
gutta-percha, painted white so that it
may be seen easily, with a corrugated
surface, and its weight varies from one
and three fourths to two ounces.
At the bidding of the golfer, this lit- ;
tie ball, sometimes called the “gutty,” ;
flies over bridges, and streams, and
sand-hills, through thickets of gorse
and, alas! sometimes into sand-pits or
even amid gorse-bushes, from which it
is recovered with great difficulty, for
the rules are inexorable, and a ball
must be hit exactly where it lies.
When a hole is “made,” however, ard
the ball has settled into the goal of the
player’s ambition, it is, of course, im-
possible to play it for the next hole
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
teeing-ground, and the little ball is
then ready to set out on its next long
journey. The player or side that wins
the greatest number of holes in the en-
tire round has the game; or in medal
play, the victor is the side or the
player making the round in the least
number of strokes, and as certain con-
ditions cause the loss of a stroke, one
needs to be very careful how he strikes.
Holes are punched out of the ground
with an iron especially made for this
purpose, are four or five inches in diam-
eter, and lined with iron. The holes
on the outward journey are usually
designated by white flags, and those
coming in with red flags. The space
in the immediate vicinity of a hole is a
very interesting part of the grounds,
because, even if your ball lies qu-ite
near the hole, a wrong shot may send
it not quite near enough or far beyond,
and so give that hole to your opponent.
This space is called the putting-green,
and the process of holing the ball from
here is called putting.
Perhaps you may suppose that the
golfing-ground or links has been care-
fully prepared for the convenience of
golfers, but no such consideration is
shown, and indeed the most important
feature of the game, and that which
adds its greatest interest and excite-
ment, is the overcoming of the various
obstacles in the way of knolls, hillocks,
thickets, and sandpits to be avoided,
called by one general name, hazards,
which tax the players’ skill to the ut-
most.
But we have not yet spoken of two
very important matters connected with
golfing—the clubs and the “caddies.”
Of clubs there must be a generous va-
riety, though the tendency of later
years is to discard many that were once
considered indispensable. The ball is
capable of assuming so many singular
positions that the player must consider
carefully what club will best suit his
purpose at the time.
A very important personage on the
links is the caddie, the man or boy who
carries the stout holland case or bag
in which are kept the various clubs,
also balls to replace those which may
be lost; who hands the clubs when
needed, and who usually gives advice
whether it is needed or not.
The ground best suited to golf is a
broad stretch of undulating land with
sandy soil, covered with short turf,
and supplied with occasional sand-
holes and a fair amount of growing
bushes. The links of St. Andrews by
the sea, in Scotland, is the most famous
of all golfing-grounds, and the town
is not better known for its ancient uni-
versity than fox* its golfing.—Helen
Marshall North, in St. Nicholas.

ON ITS OWN RAILS
In an interesting paper in Century i
Florence O’Driscoll. M P., has given
many graphic sketches of Chinese life.
Mr. O’Driscoll says:
The shops were of all sizes. Some
were seven or eight feet square, with i
the back premises closed from sight;
some were twenty or twenty-five feet
wide, reaching back thirty or forty
feet. Perhaps an average-sized shop,
in a fashionable neighborhood, was
about fourteen feet wide and twenty-
two feet deep. It was open, of course,
to the street, with no shop-front, but
generally there was a counter along
one side, and another at the back.
There was almost invariably an oblong
opening through the roof, to admit
light and air, unclosed to the sky in
summer, but with provision for a glazed
.light in winter. In the poorer class of
houses this skylight could be shut by
drawing a cover over it.
To a certain .extent the wares were
displayed, but not as in our windows.
Pottery and hardware had a better dis-
play than soft goods; food was exhib-
• ited in open trays, or was hung up.
The goods, as a general rule, were
made in the shops where they were
sold, and workmen were to be seen
fashioning the articles in all the stages
of their manufacture. There were
some shops where no workmen could
be seen, and in their place a staff of
clerks sat ready to wait upon custom-
ers; these were not numerous, and
were as a rule shops relying chiefly
upon tourist trade. The Cantonese
shop-keepers struck me as being gen-
erally fat, sleek, pot-bellied gentle-
men. Commonly the only articles of
clothing worn either by them or by
their assistants were loose Chinese
drawers fastened round the hips. In
winter they don a soft, warm, paddeo.
blouse. Placid, unexcitable-looking
folk were they, taking life coolly, sit-
ting thus naked to the waist, ceaseless-
ly waving their fans while they waited
for custom, for which, however, they
did not appear to tout.
Signs of all colors, sizes and shapes
hung out from the shops; from a board
ten or twelve inches wide and six or
seven feet long, hanging vertically to
„ little strip of wood or paper of
about the same proportions in inches.
The lettering of these signs, was.
gorgeous—gold letters on a crimson
ground, vermilion on a black ground,
blue on white, or some other striking
contrast. Bright-colored lanterns hung
all across the shop-fronts and around
the walls, or were suspended in the
center. They were bamboo construc-
tions covered with tough, oiled paper,
and painted with signs and hiero-
glyphics—quite unlike the flimsy for-
geries sold in Europe as Chinese lan-
terns. At night these were lighted,
the Chinese being very fond of illumi-
nations. All sorts of oils were used-
fish oil, tallow, vegetable oils, kero-
sene, of which last over one million
gallons of the American variety are
burned yearly in the city. At the time
of my visit the authorities were intro-
ducing electric lighting for their streets
and for the better class shops and
houses.
When everything was well alight
the sight was very fine. Even in the
daytime the effects of color were
novel, pleasing and warm. Black and
brown lacquered-work cabinets, metal-
bound; ebony tables inlaid with ivory,
marble and mother-of-pearl; deep blue
and maroon colored pots, g’ray and
gold ware, yellow and green; gold
dragons embroidered on black satin
gowns, blue and silver wraps, and
cloaks of vermilion and purple; richly
cut carvings in quaint fantastic shapes
—a blaze of color that was bewilder-
ing, a variety that was endless.
In the less fashionable quarters the
trades were generally somewhat cen-
tralized: five or six fish shops stood
close togeth’er; and so it was with
bakers, ironmongers, glass-blowers,
silk - weavers, carpenters, cabinet-
makers, coffin-builders, blacksmiths,
fruit shops, restaurants. Where one
of a trade was located there were gen-
erally found several fellows.

Around the neck there is a fur collar.
The hat wo-.m with the cape is only
velvet garnished with black ostrich
plumes and ruby satin ribbon bows.
In place of the ruby velvet myrtle
green can be employed, but the gray
cloth should in that case be of a very
light shade.
With the first really cold days muffs
appeared, and the early crop was a
dainty lot, open to fully as much criti-
cism as to the protection afforded as
elbow length capes of the sort sketched.
Many of them were mere nothings of
lace, flowers and fur. Some folks think
them pretty. Others—though they are
the ones who haven’t such muffs—think
they look as if the dressmaker had
been ordered to return the pieces and
had done so in a little bundle of odds
and ends which was being carried by
mistake, for a muff. Dalphine.
Little Contrivances for Household Adorn-
ment.
The dressing table is now adorned
with collections of scent bottles, and
the belle’s popularity is judged by the
length of the line of these dainty acces-
sories for the boudoir. Some of them
are tipped with gold, others are stud-
ded with jewels, and many—in fact, the
majority-—are of handsome silver fin-
ish. The cut glass is combined with
the silver and gold, and the effect of
the highly polished bottles on the
dressing table is pretty.
The old fashioned candle stick is now
used at the country houses of the smart
set and the fashion is to have a quaint-
ly carved table at the top of the wind-
ing staircase. On this are placed the
candlesticks with candles in them, and
the guest retires she selects her candle,
-lights it and wends her way to her bed-
room in the picturesque old fashioned
way of our great grandmothers. This
fashion has given the dealers an op-
portunity to make up some extremely
odd and pretty candlesticks and the
Japanese shops abound with them.
Several of these holders are made in
Japanese ware in the shape of a fish
or a dragon.
The newest fad in the boudoir or the
library is the low stool ornamented by
a cushion of silk or tapestry. No room
seems complete without them and they
are placed by the side of the room fire
place. It comes in bamboo and fancy
woods and the cushions are sometimes
embroidered with, a motto or they are
plain. In the white and gold rooms
these dainty stools are enameled and
the cushion is of a deep shade of yel-
low.—N. Y. Recorder.
