INDOOR GOLF. ‘Women “Turned Forty” Should Take a Larger Share in Athletics. From the New York Times. Indoor golf is to be one of the features of the athletic work of many young society girls this winter. They are the younger girls, hardly risen to the dignity of society “buds,” but they. have already been ex- posed to the contagion of golf, and they wil! prepare this winter to be genuine fa- natics by the time their school duties are over, and the links are in good, condition next year. It is only the younger girls who are tak- ing up gymnasium gol! th¢ first part of the Beason, but older experts, or would-be ex- perts, ure expected later in the year to Practice or to be coached. There is one advantage which a floor has over a genuine golf unks. If an inexperi- enced player endeavors to dig up the ball in making a drive, it becomes manifest. it is humiliating to plougn up the turf, but its non-resisting quatitics are not so great that the player becomes so painfully aware of an awkward drive as when the club strikes the floor with a resounding thud. The golf classes are to be small, with trom six to eight only in a class. “What is the general tendency in regard to athletics for women?” was zsked of Miss D. M. Elliott, who is an authority upon the subject and director of the Berke- ley Gymnasium. “Mothers of this generation are bringing up their children on altogether different lines from those foliowed by mothers in the past,” said Miss Elliott. “They bring up their daughters more as, hitherto, they have brought up their boys; they realize that it is the best thing they can do for the general health of their children. “I called upon one New York mother re- cently, and was taken to the nursery to see the children. There were two of them, lit- tle girls, but they were dressed in little, loose trousers and short French blouses, us little French boys would be dressed. It was delightful to see the absolute freedom this style of dress gave them. They were riding their hobby horses cavalier fashion nd apparently enjoying themselves thor- oughly. “The mother told me that she dressed them always in that way in the house and that in the country they hai the freedom of the place in the same costume. “] know one athletic family in which the father, the mother and all the children are interested. There are five children and I don’t think the oldest is more than eleven, but they all, except the baby, with the father and mother, ride bicycles and they all play golf. Three of the children come to the gymnasium, and it is easy to see the training they have received from their general mental as well as physical develop- Trent. They comprehend so quickly and it is really quite wonderful to see them ex- ereising. “Women may have taken up athletics in the first place because it was a fad; it is fashionable now to be athletic. But the pleasure in the exercise made the interest permanent. Exer with chest weights may be as beneficial as more varied gym- nastics, but they do not maintain the in- terest. “There is no reason why all kinds of out- door exercise should not be kept up during the winter, if the weather permits. People ride horseback in the winter and they can also ride the bicycle. It depends somewhat upon the individual's ability to withstand the cold. The hands and feet must be well protected. But there are some more particularly winter sports. Snowshoes are used much in the upper part*of the state, and in Canada, and it would seem they might be introduced here. Any one who is accustomed to using the muscles can easily learn to use snow- sbhces. There may be a little floundering at first. After getting started it is only nec- essary to make long, smooth strides. The great difficulty is learning to put down one foot with reference to the position of the other. ee ELECTRIC PURIFICATION. The Action of Coagulants, Antiseptics and Non-Coagulants. From the Philadelphia Ledger. Under the auspices of the Woman's Health Protective Association Prof. Albert E. Woolf of New York city delivered an illustrated lecture last evening at Horti- cultural Hall on “Antiseptics, Coagulants and Non-Coagulants,” and their use in pre- vention and treatment of disease. After giving a brief history of the dis- covery and introduction of antiseptics the speaker said that physicians now used them with a great deal of doubt and hesi- tation. Any coagulating disinfectant is, he said, at all times dangerous. It cannot be applied to an open wound, because the al- bumen of the blood would be coagulated, and in that state would be carried into the circulation and blood poisoning would en- sue. He advanced the theory that in a perfectly healthy body currents of elec- tricity are flowing, whose action upon the blood is the same as when the current passes through water, viz., the molecules of water arrange themselves in polarity and the current jumps from molecule to molecule, and electrolysis, or decomposi- tion of the water, is the result. It is necessary to take a certain amount of salt into the body. The electricity de- composes the salt in the blood, and this is nature’s disinfectant, destroying disease germs. The disinfecting agent is ozone or free oxygen, which is produced by the elec- trolysis. The nearer we get to nature's method the better will be the results. Ozone, produced in large quantities by the use of a dynamo and tanks of salt wa- ter, can be used in any locality at an economical cost, and is absolutely non-pois- onous; while the disinfectants usually em- ployed—viz., carbolic acid, corrosive sub- imate or sulphuric acid—are poisonous, and do not kill the germs, but coagulate the albumen, in which they are found, on the surface, and leave them alive. On’ the breaking up of the mass they are liberated. To illustrate this point he showed upon the screen four tubes filled alike with albu- men, the viscous white of an egg. Into one he dropped some carbolic acid, in the second some corrosive sublimate, into the third some sulphuric acid and into the fourth some salt water through which an electric current had been passed. They were all agitated with a stirrer. The ac- tion on the first three was confined to the surface, while in the fourth it extended through the mass. Another interesting illustration was an exhibition of the electrolytic action of the current by the insertion of the two poles of a battery into some sea water. Decom- position of both the water and salt was produced, freeing oxygen, hydrogen, chlo- rine and sodium, which then formed new compounds- The gas bubbles could be seen passing to the positive and negative poles. By using a small quantity of this elec- uolized solution, Prof. Woolf said, a very large quantity of water could be purified or rid of germs, and by sprinkling it over fermenting matter, like garbage heaps, all fermentation could be stopped. ——— The Birth of a Language. In the new number of the British Central Africa Gazette a correspondent gives some interesting particulars of a new language which has spring up within recent years in Central Africa. It is, he says, “a weird jargon, or perhaps language, on a par with ‘pidgin English’ of the far east, or the humerous other tongues by which travel- ere and sojourners in strange lands make their wants known to the natives. Many may not know of the language, but it is spoken by hundreds daily, and flourishes mostly where the white man has bulit a boma, and in which there is a Sikh garrison. The originator of it is the Sepoy from over the ‘black water’ (sea). How was it first introduced? When he first came into the country did he buy Dr. Scott’s grammar and dictionary and endeavor to learn the language grammatically and comprehen. sively, as the patient Europeans do? No; although here today and there tomorrow, as we are in conjunction with his comrades, the conservative Sikh evolved from his in- ner consciousness a language which is learned by his relief from India in turn. Its component parts are Hindustani, Gur- mukhi, trcken Swahili, broken Manganja, possibly a little Yao and Sepoy English, forming a whole curious in the extreme. Though, of course, chiefly the military lan- guage of the country, it -is occasionally the medium of communication between the Eu- ropean and the Sikh; and often when the white man's highly grammatical book Man- ganja fails the Sikh will step boldly into the breach, and with a few chosen words the native understand. To be pro- make t! ficient in this language one ought, of course, to know Hindustani, but a close attention to the doubling of words will insure a cer- tain amount of fluency and correctness in TAKE IT HOME. “HAVING USED SALVATION sole losin ideas memes oe een cellent remedy.

After giving a few examples of words and phrases most commonly in use, the writer adds that as he writes he can hear a Yao non-commissioned officer, who four months ago was wild from the bush, instructing a squad of recruits. What the Yao says to his awkward squad is: “Left, light, left, light—Tai dote Kuman ya moisi moisi, hi Karabi, Sidha tajama which, when ‘translated from this ne tongue, means, “Left, right, left, right. Don’t stamp on the ground like that, that’s bad. Look to your front.” = Indians Scared by an Elevator. From the Topeka Stat? Journal. An Indian yell, which made the blood of the people at the state house run cold, re- verberated through the halls and offices yesterday afternoon. It sounded like the dying moan of a thousand souls going down into perdition. It was wild, uncanny and weird and terrifying in the extreme. Chiefs Much Nose and Little Talk were doing the state house, and stepped into the elevator at the solicitation of their guide. ‘The carriage started up, and then the In- dians yelled. One dropped down on his knees and lifted up his voice In a weird, discordant supplication to the Great Spirit, while the other seized the iron grating of the cage and yelied in savage style. The muscles of his face stood out in bold relief, so great was the exertion of yelling. The squaws fell upon the floor of the elevator and seemed in a faint. When the elevator stopped the Indians scrambled out, but vis- ited the state house no longer. They hur- ried down a stairway leading to the main entrance and disappeared, as if by magic, toward their camp. —_—_-o+—__—_ Key Concealed in a Ring, Frem the Cincinnati Enquirer. A Cincinnatian but lately returned from England tells of a rather novel innovation in the way of locks and keys, or, to speak more correctly, key.
