In London the policonian is expected to be a direc- tory' amd more or less an encyclo- pedia of information, His training lasts six months, during which he attends an instruction class and learns all the beats of the division: i. At school he is taught, among oths' er things, to be a sound lawyer; a bit of a medical man, a 'stateShign and a diplomat, a keen observer and a "cool, impartial witness, a boxer and a Strategist, a fluent reader, a guide to London, a peacemaker, at times a linguist, and always to turn out smartly, clean and a credit to thé force. | On the streqfs he 'always 10 appiy his K ately to the needs of the moment.

Golf of Lowly Origin. 1f tennis has a royal lineage, golf, which was later regarded as a rich man's game, had most plebian begin- { nings, writes J. R. Hildehand, in the { National Geographic Magazine, Con- trary to a widespread belief, it seems not té have originated in Scotland, . but in northern Europe. Apparenfly it was first played on ice, being one of the winter sports adapted to the physical geography of the Low Coun- trics. Even in the north, though, it evolved to a terra firm stage, as in- | diated by a sketch in a book illum- { inated at Bruges, which shows tired players, each with a ball and one ¢lnh, playing on turf. By the fifteen century golf had at- i talned such vogue in Scotland that it threatened the cherished archery, and it is classed with "futeball'" and other "unprofitable sportis" by James 1V.' That monarch, however, seems 140 have disregarded his own edict, | ag. did enough other Scotchmen to i keep the game alive. Like tennis, golf was played by { both sexes. Critics of Mary Stuart cited in evidence that her husband's | fate weighed so lightly. upon her heart that she was seen playing the game in the flelds near Seton. To the Romans also is ascrided & game that suggests modern golf. It . was played with a feather stuffed ball | and 'called "'paganica;" because the | sommon people played it -- another 1 evidence of the game's lowly origin.

In this sfructure and at the side adja- | cent to the barn, or rather the base- ment wall, is built a conérete enclo- sure jhout 6 feet square and § or 6% feet high. A door in the basement' wall" admits one to it. In the side | opposite to- the doorway there i8.a { row of 3 or 4-inch tiles near the bot- tom for letting in the cold alr from the ice which is packed closely to the | concrete storage on all three sides. and over the top as well. Between | there is a narrow passage-way or flue for allowing the foul or used air to 1 get out, hence good circulation in the storage is provided for. In this par- | ticular case the farmer has his milk- room containing cream separator, etc., adjoining this storage and when- ever he wishes to cool milk or eream or store it he puts it in this storage. Other articles, + such 2a butter and meat, are also stored at | times but ef-course only for a few days at a time. Hence much handl- Ing of ice is saved ns well as cofi- | siderable time. The building {s made | | of wood, the studding being boarded on both sides. It would be advisable | to fill the space between the two | boardings with planer shavings or; good quality sawdust, The roof is | covered with shingles, The gables are left somewhat open for ventila- | tion. Plenty of sawdust 1s used | around the ice next to the walls, and | also a good depth over the top, none | however is used between the cakes of ice. If a few cakes of ice are re- quired for household wsg they may be easily taken out of the sawdust in the top of lce-house or at one side if more convenient, It will be ren, therefore, that this type of ice-house does double duty in a degree, namely, providing a small ice-cold storage room, cooled by the ice mass directly, in addition to hous- ing ice for various incidental uses in the sumimer-time, In a case of this kind there would not be mueh need Jor-taking ou Jee excep for Supply ordinary cooling and preserving of products. Believing this arrangement to be valuable, and in many cases praetic- able on Ontario farms, I have much pleasure in recommending it td fame ers in general.--R. R. Graham, O. A.

Draft geldings are selling in England for from $300 to $600 and even up to $1,000 each. A returned: | omcer told me recently of seeing a numbor of Canadian geldings (artil- | tery and transport horses) sold in Old London for £100 ($500) each. About one-fifth of Great Britain's or- dinury supply of work horses went to the war and a number of useful brood mares were also taken. France, Bel- gium, Russia and Germany, four of the great herse-producing countries, have lost a heavy percentage of their horse stock during the war.
