Tvrol, In the midst of the moun tains, lies the district Vorarl berg, which after ?the war tried to es ' cane from the domination ot Austria by votltiK i" flivor of joining i land. I'robahly very few persons In. i the United States had ever before even heiml of' V?nir?,r, which ?m.? * 'tins been mistakenly lumped In the Tyyol. Th^re Is a perfectly \\eli ! defined boundary between VoP"r,bJ*|M : nmi the Austrian Tyrol-namely. the i watershed between the Rhine t,ic I l>Hnube, says the New York Tlims. | Travelers over the Arlberg pass im ! see this boundary duly marked \\lth in monument. The name \ orar ?? means the "land beyond the Arlberg | pjiMs" ? "beyond," that Is. from the ' nolnt of view of a person looking j westward over the pass from the Aus T h J1" spr '' n gs of the Rhine in Swltz ' erlaud lire not far from the ?".?<hein boundary of Vorarlberg. across the mountain known as the Rhatlknn . In ? this part or Switzerland Is the far j finned Kngadlne, with Its health re. ? sorts such as DflvM-FlaL, ? verv much better known to the world at large than the region to the north ! ?fIn the north Vorarlberg reaches the beautiful lake of Constance; on the | shores of that lake is Bregenz, Hli; I"'* 1 Htlcal capital of the land. Bregenz vlelds precedence, so far as size Is con cerned. to Dornblrn. up in the moun i tains behind the lake, but It Is "pver^" i loss the most Important place in Vor arlberg. The other leading towns are ? the railway of Fp1dklrc'h' where the lines from Tyrol, Germany 'and Switzerland meet, and Rludenz. Domblrn, has about 15.000 Inhabitants, Bregenz about 10.000, FeKUdrch and Rludenz in the vicinity of 5.000 each. Grabbed by the Hapsburgs. Previous to the break-up of the Aus troHungarlnn empire, Vorarlberg was administered by a "statthalter res d 1 ink' at Innsbruck, capital of the Austrl an Tyrol, but It also had a governor of fts own arid an assembly of 21 mem i hers. It used to send four represent 1 atlves to the relchsrat. or imperial par 1 lament, at Vienna. v ?

The Vorarlbecgers are distinct from the inhabitants of Bavaria, t hi? nearest part of Germany. They claim descent from the Alemannl, who, .after their defeat by Clovls. k!ng of the Franks, In the seventh century, flowed back eastward and settled In the valleys of the ancient. Rhaetla. Thanks to the mountains that ring them round and cut them off to a great extent from the rest of the world, the Vorarlbergers haVe presented a certain Independence of attitude through the centuries, and have refused to be over awed by the noble lords who have sought to browbeat them. They are lof an essentially prattlcal nature, num bering In their midst more mechanics and builders than sculptors, poets and musicians. They are Industrious, fru gal. even If given a bit to comforta ble living, and talkative to a degree. They garnish their speech with many a witty remark, but are inclined. It Is said, to become cantankerous jwid dis putatious upon slight provocation. They are ve&y patriotic and religious. Many of the people live. in fine wood en houses of a pleasing style of archi tecture. The contrast bet-ween these domiciles and the poorer houses of the Inhabitants of the Swiss sections Im mediately west~of 'Vorarlberg at once strikes the traveler's eye. The na tives still wear picturesque costumes in some parts of the region, tftough by 110 means to the extent that was com mon as recently as *25 or #0 years ago. BRITAIN HAS 80,000 ?ADDIES Future of These Indispensable Golf Ad visers Is Worrying Club Offi cials of the Country. Almost 80.000 caddies trudge the golf courses In the United Kingdom, mostly youths between fourteen and eighteen. The question of their future Is seriously exercising the minds of the golf club secretaries, who have the welfare of the race at heart. Carrying golf clubs leads to nowhere as regards a man's career. St. George's Hill Golf club at Wey brldge, the most fashionable club In England, has tackled the problem man fully. and its example Is to be followed by other clubs throughout Great Brit ain. During their Idle hours when not carrying clubs the boys and dis abled soldiers, of whom a number are employed, are to be trained to trades that will ultimately enable them to obtain employment of a regular and progressive nature. After three years' service with the club the caddie will receive a bonus of $f)0, provided he wishes to leave In order to follow a trade he has learned. A first-class bootmaker has been en gaged to instruct caddies in boot mak* Ing; In order to make the plan profit able members of the club send their repairs to the school. Under (he head j trreen keeper the caddies are braining i the art of market gardening in the j club vegetable trnrdens. They are l>ty i inp Initiated into ;he Intricacies of j >:reen keeping also. ?Cotton's Varied Uses. The United States Is certainly the "land of cotton." Nowhere else in I i hi? World is rot i on grown to *uch ! abundance mid put to such u variety of uses, says "he Snn Francisco Chron icle.
