ONE-DISTANCE CLUBS

When the new rule comes into force, limiting the "set" to only fourteen clubs, some golfers may be rather at a loss. They will be disgruntled, says the London "Evening News," at having to part with clubs which played,' perhaps, one shot per month. The story is recalled of an. English golfer playing in the Amateur Championship at Muirfield, that! delightful spot overlooking the Forth, some twenty miles from Edinburgh. In his set were nineteen clubs, and after a good. drive he 1 stood-pondering over a shot to the eighth hole. His Scottish caddie, himself a good player, wondered what was the matter, but wisely, saifl not a word. Presently the player turned to' the caddie saying with a tear in,his voice, "Do you know, I'haven't a club in the bag to play this' shot!" The caddie could have played, it with any one of the thirteen irons. A-new excuse will no doubt be heard in:the future as-a reason for defeat—"l left my Number 00 in the locker—just'the one I wanted for that second to .the'seventeenth!"

Instead of being fixed tightly,to the jaw-bone, the fangs of a Rattlesnake are fastened at the base of a movable bone in the upper jaw. ■.. Sometimes when the rattler makes'a strike and its victim does not succumb at once; the latter may wrench out these loosely attached fangs in an attempt to escape. It is not long, however, before the snake thus incapacitated will be equipped with a new set of weapons, for it is provided with clusters of young, undeveloped fangs on either side of its mouth and a new pair oi these soon grow out to full size.
