A story of unusual veracity and daring on the. part of a python has retched us from Muka. At Judan, a village some six miles from Muka, a man and his son, aged from 19 to 12 years, were sleeping in their house, inside a mosquito curtain. They were on the floor near the wall. In the middle of the night the father was awakened by his son calling out, the lamp was out and the father passed his hand over his son but found

nothing amiss so he turned over and went to sleep afterwards the child again called out saying that again, thinking the boy was dreaming, Shortly a crocodile was taking him. This time the father, thoroughly aroused felt again and found that a snake had closed his jaws on the boy's head; he then prized open the reptile's mouth and released the head of his son but the beast drew the whole

of bis body into the house, and encircled the body of the father; he was rescued by the neigh bours, who were attracted by the cries for help of the terrified couple. The snake when killed was found to be about fifteen feet long. The head and forehead of the boy are encircled with punctured wounds produced by the python's teeth,-Gazette.

The antiquity of the game is undeniable probably some sort of golf was played by ancient herdsman while teading their flocks, for they would inevitably sometimes notice a round pebble, and be equally certain, having in hand their crooks, to strike at il. From so simple a beginning has the game, it is supposed, been evolved.

The beginner should not attempt too long a swing at first; that will come later on. The shoulder should be regarded as the centre of a circle, on the circumference of which the ball is situated. To carry out this idea the left arm must he kept taut, but not rigid; each man must find out for himself the position in which he is the most effective, and not copy too closely some fine player whose altitude may have won bis admiration. But whatever style he adopts, one point he must attend to, the swing of the club should not be in any way checked.
