Since I had the operation of 'Tracheotomy .-•' • (the same as the late Emperor of Germany, and unlike him, thank God, I am still alive and getting on well) performed at St. Bartholomew's Hospital for abduct, or paralysis of the vocal chords, no one could possibly have had a more violent cougfi ; indeed, it was so bad at times that it quite exhausted me. The mucus also, which wa.s very copious and hard, has been softened, and I have been able lo get rid of it without difficulty. ' I am, sir, yours truly, " Mr. T. Keating. " J. HlLL."

WHEN Scotland gave to England tho rather dubious bless- ing of her Scottish kings, sho gavo therewith a gift which was an undoubted boon : tho game of golf. For very many yoars England was more blind to the merits of the game than of tho Stuarts. Tho Scottish Court, taking its country loisuro at Greenwich, recreated itself for tho toils of govornmont by playing golf on Blackhcath. If Blackhoath was as flinty them as it is to-day, that fact may partly oxcuso and explain thoir governing so badly. It doos not soom, howovcr, that golf was of indigenous growth in Scotland. So far back as tho date of Jamos VI., wo find an Act of tho Scottish Parliamont forbidding tho importation of Dutch-made golf-balls as injurious to native industry. This stringent protectionist moasu.ro shows that tho game must have boon lnvgoly cultivated by tho Mynlioors, but its records are hard to traco. Horo and tlicro wo eouio on a picture—thoro is one by Van dor Vuldt in the National Gallery—or on an old Dutch tile, representing tho game, usually on tho ice. But this was not an exclusively glacial epoch of the game, for there iw an account, ofteni jiiotoil before, in an old book named " Los Coutos du Roi C'um- briuus," by one Charles Dunlin, of a gamo named cJiole, a bastard species of golf played in French Flanders. H o represents it as a very popular gamo. In his tale ono Roger, a wheelwright, is so great a player that in all tl.o n ! 2 COLFIXG. country round ho is known as " lo grand cho'.eur." But we cannot think that he oxactly flayed the game, for h.& had a wonderful club given him by no less a person than St. Antony. St. Antony was thus generous in return for some small mattor of smith's work which Rogor did for him, and besides giving him tho wonderful club, ho granted him two boons— ono, that no ono who sat on tho stump of elm tree in front of his smithy should bo able to move without his leavo; and tho othor, that no one who stood on a certain squaro patch of carpot should bo moved therefrom against his will. So Rogor boat everyone at chole, including the Dovil, from whom ho won a whole sackful of souls. When, death at length camo for Roger, the '' grand choleur " asked tho monarch to tako a scat for a momont on the elm trunk— whenco ho did not ponnit him to stir until ho had covenanted for a hundred years longer of life. So again he golfed and beat all comers.
