Tmvers stiggeste that lack of concenti'atlun, particularly with refereucc to keeping one's eye on the ball. Is the greatest cause of bad golf pla.ving. He saya that to practice con- centration is very dUhcult, ns he knows from personal exi)crlence. Ilo then tells the following Btory showing bow he lost a great mntcb through this fault: "I know liow hard this practice Is. I have always tliougbt that but for brcakhig tbis cardinal precept I might lia'-e liaU a very good chance to beat Hilton la 19U at Apuwainlsâ€" wben the English champion carried away our chief amateur trophy. "In the morning round over the first eighteen boles I bad been playing badly and tintshcd four ilowii. Evei-y one. In- cluding Iliiton, considered tbe match all In nud over. Hut In the afternoon I started with a iiisb and won tbe first three holes, leaving myself only one down and well within reach. At the next hole I had an easy two foot putt to make to win my fourth straight bole and square the inatob. "I havo always thought that If I had made that putt the odds would have been hi my favor. Now, in putting I make tt a set rule to look at the ball until my club has struck tbe spot I am looking at I have been able to do this by constant practice of concentration. But on this occasion I had a down hill putt, and I was ovcnui.\ious. And Just before my club ^lnl('k tbe ball I looked up, poshed the Uill to tbe right of tbe cup and missed llio shot This upset me for a moment, and I topped my drive at the next hole, losing IL The combination, coming sudden1.v, restor- ed Hilton's confidence, which had been ebbing away, and be got going again, with the result that I was beaten three and two."

Mrs. Hannah Kifer, a widow, who earned her living by renting rooms for light housekeeping, had the reputation of being a shrewd manager and much inclined to carry economy to tbe farthest passible point She was hard- working withal and seemed never to reach the end of her daily labor. On a certain day Mra. Castle, one of the "light housekeepers," finding a surplus of time on her bands, kindly offered to help Mrs. Flfer out with her over- flow of work. "Well, If you feel like It, I wonidn't care if you'd take hold and bake me op a couple of ple.1," Mrs. Flfer con- ceded.

Mrs. Castle agreed to the amend- ment and worked away Industriously until her task was accompllsbod, when, wearied with her liihors, she retired to her own apartment In a short time Mrs. Fifer's small daughter, Peggy, appeared at iier door. "Ma says," reported Peggy, "that she don't bllcve she'll be able to use all them four pics before I hoy dry out. and she wants to know if you won't buy two of 'em olf her for 20 rents, anil she'd like the 20 cents right away, please."

One feature of tbe Russian army tvbicb from time to time has been brought to the attention of the world outside of Ruaslik chiefly by publica- tions coQcemlDg themselves with mat- ters appertaining to music, Is tbe nii- usual size and number of bands In the nillltiir^ forces of the czar. The Rus- sian soldier has more martial music than any other soldier in the world. ' There Is no regiment lu tbe Russian service without Its own band, and at posts where not a regiment but only a 'battalion is quartered that battalion bas Its band. And these Russian mili- tary bands are big and impressive mu- sical organizations. Within each l.i a brass band and an orchestra of string and wood instruments with, of course, the necessary touch of brass and sheci>' skin. The result Is that, while these military bands play primarily military music, (bey also adapt themselves to the performance of such music as the American bears at a symphony concert Tbe regimental band in the United States army consists of thirty-six pieces, and bands on flagships of the navy are smaller. The average Rus- sian army band, or orchestra, has from forty to fifty musicians, and tbe or- chestras of certain guard regiments contain sixty. There are more than 1,000 Russian regiments, and there are In the army about 00,OUO bandsmea Then In tbe naval and military schools and In the navy there are bands, aud If to theie are added the twenty to forty mnilcal pupils of a regimental orchestral school and the musical com- panies of battleships and various ca- det schools the number of military mu- sicians In tbe armed service of Russia mounts to the surprising total of ap- proximately lOO.OOio men, a number greater than tbe whole enlisted and commlaslooed personnel in the Ameri- can army. Russia takes n commendable pride In Its military bands, aud tbe musi- cians are all competent The bands- men are trained in tbe regimeutal band schools or In one of the numerous mu- sical conservatories maintained by the government, and each musical com pany has a condnctor aud bis assist- ant, both being graduates of one oi tbe national conservatories of mnslc. Tbe Russian designation of these military aud naval bands is uiusykal- naya kamraar.da, and tliey constitute an important factor In the life of the civil population, the u'ocrnment nslug tbeui for the cnteriaij.iii--nt of tbe pub lie as well as for tin- musical educa- tion of the masses very much na the United States u.se.s its military b;inds at Washingtonâ€" tlnit Is, In providing free concerts for the people. Open air concerts are couiuion In the parks of tho larger townit and snuiller cities throughout Russia dniing the summer, aud In winter free reeiliils are given in the barracks and public balls. On Sundays, fete days aud national boll- days band concerts and orchestral per- formances are usual In I he well set- tled regions of vast Unssla. The Russian tuilitaiy band Is con- siderably more than an army instttn- lion. The cost of maintaining so many bands Is considerable even for so rich a couuti'y as Russia, but the government considers them as a prof- itable investment 'J'lie Russian sol- dier has come »<? recj'Jiro music and he demands It aud these bands entertain the masses and the ckisses. These bands cater to tbe highest musical taste, and tho average Russian in tho cities knows when music Is good aud ho will bavo no other. The bands pl;iy the new and popular music by com- posers like IvauofT, but on all the band programs you will see such names as Liszt, Schumann, Clioplu, Tsclmlkow- sky. Glinka, Strauss and l^ebnssy. Tho nrniy band spreads its musical influeuce over Russia in iinother way. After passing through llie regimcnlal baud school the bandsman serves three years. Then he passes out of the arniy, usually returning to M.s native village. Tho custom Is for liim to carry back Into civil life with him the Instrument ho played in tho govcrnnicnt band. Ills musical training and accouiiiUsliment make of him in his home town a more prominent and Important man than he otherwise would be. lie often takes up tho teaching of music and almost Invariably keeps up the [iractice ot bis art Very likely he organizes a vil- lage band or orchestra, and Into this corae amateur musicians and other military baudsinen whose army serv- ice bas expired. About 15,000 Itussliiii army musicians annually leave the nrmy nnd return homo to their fami- lies.â€" Washington Star.

Several years ago I wrote an essay for the Atlantic Monthly ou "The Hun- dred Worst Books." For a place In the list I selected a book in my library en- titled "Poems on Several Occasions," published in 1749 by one Jones, a poet whose name was unknown to me till I perused his verse. The pages were s» fresh that I clieilshed the belief that I was the only reader In a century and a half. I had the pride of possession la â- lones. It was some time after that I came across. In Walpole's letters, an allu- sion to my esteemed poet It seems that Colley Cibber, when he thought he was dying, wi'ote to the prime minister "recommending tho bearer, Mr. Henry Jones, for the vacant laurel. Lord Ches- terfield will tell you more of him." I was never more astonished In my life than when I visualized the situa- tion and saw my friend Jones "the bearer" of a demand for the reversion of the laureateship. It seemed that Walpole was equally surprised, and wben he next met Lord Chestertield tbe eager question was, Who is Jones, and why .should be be recommended for the position of poet laureate? Lord Chesterfield answered. "A better poet would not take the post and a worse ought not to have it" Ic appears that Jones was an Irish brick- layer and had made It bis custom to work a certain number of hours ac- cording to an nudevinting rule. He would lay a layer of brick and then compose a line of poetry, and so on until his day's task was over. Tbis ac- counts for the marvelous evenness of his verse. This was but a small discovery, but It gave a real pleasure, for should I meet my Lord Chesterfield ho and I would at once havu a common interest. We both had discovered Jones, and quite Independently.â€" Atlantic Monthly. ONE VIEW OF BISMARCK. His Love of Mualo and Hia Didika af Wagner as a Man. Talking of the arts Bismarck said: "Of music I am very fond, but now I have to abstain from bearing It be- cause tears coma only too readily Into my eyes. My heart Is stronger than my head. Indeed, what self control I have haa been bought by experience." Many Instances occurred during our conversations which gave the truth to- this assertion. Tbe extreme mobility »f his counte- nance and the various shades of ex- pression which passed over it told of .1 aensUlve, emotional temperament "But I hava a fire within me still which burns at times with fury." Upon that 1 asked, "Are yon in reality the Iron chancellor?" "Ko," he said, "not nat- urally; the Iron I have created to us» when necessary." And that I believe to be true. I asked bim If he knew Wagner per- sonally. "Yes," he answered, "but It was quite Impossible for me to care for him or to encourage his society. I had not time to submit to bis Insatia- ble vanity. Before breakfast, at break- fast, before aud after dinner, Wagner demanded sympathy and admiration. Ills egotism was wearisome nud in- tolerable, aud his demand for a listen- er was so Incessant that I was obliged to avoid hia company. I was too busy, with my affairs to be able to give hiu^ nil or even a portion of the d<;mands he would have claimed upon my time. But I admire bis music greatly, though 1 have been compelled to give up go- ing to tbe opera because the beautiful and touching melodies I cannot get out of my bead; they cling to me, and I find It diflScult to release myself from them, and now it tires me to t>e so much moved."â€" I'roni "Conversations With Prince Bismarck," by W.
