WALKING As AN ExERCRE.-Prof
Sargent OF Harvard College delivered
Lecture recently upon the subject OF
walking He referred to the numer.
Gus adverse criticisms which his ideas
IN this connection, rs presented ia
bis lecture of last winter, had called
forth. As an illustration of the ma.
ture Of these criticisms, no read an
article which maintained that mod.
crate walking, instead Of being the
poorest, was the best possible method
OF exercise. In answer TO this, DIR.
Sargent suggested the very CON-
mon error Of drawing general infer.
ences, from his own particular case
For person troubled with insomnia,
nervous diseases and particular kinds
of heart troubles, the exercise OBJ
tanned from number Of moderate
walks taken At intervals through the
day, Is the best thing that can be
found. Rapid walking, or any other
violent exercise. serves rather to az.
gravate than 10 cure troubles OF this
nature. But for . man in the cuioy.
ment OF good health these saunters
are wholly useless What he needs
Is . sharp. brisk walk, which will
start the circulation of the blood AMI
bring al the muscles Of the body into
play. Walks Of this kind are very
beneficial and heartily recommended.
IIe most rapid walker is be who
walks from the thirhs rather than
from the knees.-Boeton Transcript.

CredulOuS Cashiers.

An entcrprising individual, realizing
that a confident air and plausible story
are in most instances the only requisite
to insure a profitable return,
has devised a scheme by which he has
managed to secure a considerable sum Of
money from a number of wcll-rcgulatcd
banking establishments scattered here
and there throughout the country. Rep
resentlng himself as an agent of the
United States treasury department
sent out for the purpose of asccrtaining
the amount of counterfeit money in
circulation, this sclf-delegated pro-
tector and purifier of the national cur
rency presents himself at Il bank and
with a document highly and graphically
ornamentcd with scaling wax, which he
conspicuously and ostentatiously exhibits
as his warrant of authority, whispers
into the ear Of the awcd bank cashier
that it has come to the knowledge of the
government that the banking house of
which the aforesaid cashier is a brilliant
ornament is engaged, perhaps unknow-
inrlv, in the circulation of counterfeit
n and that it has become necessary,
in order to protect the government, that
the funds now on hand in the bank
vaults be examined. BY this time the
feelings of the bank cashier can be more
easily imagined than described. Thun-
derstruck and almost paralyzcd. the
cashier in many instances has not only
given this barc-faccd swindlcr access to
the vaults, but on more than n occa-
sion, as is reported, permitted him to
carry away a no inconsiderable sum of
currency, on the prctext that a more
critical examination was necessary in
order to determine its g%enuineness. 1t
is needless to add that in an instance of
this kind the currency is never returned.
The gentleman is still at large, and there
is no telling where he may next turn up.

Bull Fighting in Mexico.

\ Zacatccas (McXico) letter to the st.
Louis Giobe-D Democrat says: Bull-tightinS
in this country is a sort of partnership en-
terprisc. 1t is q private affair with which
the State does not corccrn itself. The
amphithcatre, to begin with, is owned by
one party and rented to two othcrs-thc
one who furnishes the bulls and the cap
tain of the fighters. Out of the gate
money comes first the expenscs-princl-
pally the rent and some advertising.
Next the owner Of the bulls receives pay
for his services. For each animal killed
he gets SIS or SEQ. Smaller cOmpcnsa.
ton is rendered for the rest Of the herd,
but sufficient altogether to satisfy him.
The lions share Of the income thus goes
to the chief of the company. who pays
his adhcrcnts and pockets the remainder
of the pile. Perhaps it should be said
that the public is u partner and not al
ways q silent one. The Judge Of the
fight, representing the people, has
authority to impose fines on the star per
former when he gives poor entertain.
ments. As the disappointed pleasure
seekers dispersed just before dusk to-
night, it afforded them some satisfaction
to know that the great Ponciano Diaz had
been fined $500 for the afternoons miser-
able failure. Sometimes the crowd shows
it's displeasurc by hurting chairs, cushions,
and every other movable thing on which
hands can be laid, into the ring. But
the demonstrations seldom become up
roarious enough to warrant interference
by the soldiers. The net result in casual
ties of to-day's fight was two dead bulls,
which might as we'll have been killed in
their stalls, and two crippled old "plugs'
of horses. Injuries to the men arc ex.
tremely infrequcnt.

A Snake Mt q Dance.

An Englishman visiting the island OF
Penang MALAY Archipelago, describing
the entertainments to which he was in
vitcd, gives the following rather uncon-
ventional exhibition of native hilarity,
which formed Ill episode in q colonial
mcrry-making:
The introduction of 4 snake fifteen feet
long into a room full of dancers was per
haps the most extraordinary experience
cvcr had on any festive gathering. The
event happened at n ball given by Mr..
c., a gentleman who had been cdu-
Gated in Scotland, and fell out on this
wise.
NY friend lived on u small plantation,
and had for some time past been troubled
by the nocturnal raids of this snake,
which had swallowed Il pig and was
gradually clearing his fowl-house. A
number of natives had been Oh the
watch, and had just captured the reptile,
coilcd up in u comatose state among the
shrubs.
The MalayS, rarely excited, unless
when frightened or trimming amok, "
ana tleTe WAS NO ualSel, its
the snake was overcome by the process of
digesting n savory meal, determined, i'll n
fit of frantic JOY, to Ivy the trophy at
their masters feet. They had it by the
tail, and dragging it to the sound of
quadrille music, thump, thump, up the
wide staircase, they rushed into the
drawing-room and laid the monster
down.
Motionless it gazed around upon the
strange scene, and probably specialized
on the prospect of still more sumptuouS
fare, could it only command its wonted
energy and crush its entertainers in its
Shiny coil.
Some of the gentlemen retired with
remarkable celebrity Others displayed
their daring and gallantry behind a bar
ricadc of chairs; while a few stood their
ground, supporting their terror stricken
partners, as the unwclcome intruder was
hauled off to cxpiate his crime in the
court below.-Ldo- China anil China.

There are all kinds Of rings in the
business and political world, but the
greatest ring of all, says Uem0rest, is the
one which some astronomers say is form
ing outside the atmosphere of the earth.
There are people who gravcly maintain
that the extraordinary sunsets and sun
rises which have been noticed for months
are due to the formation of a ring or
rings around our earth, similar to those
revealed with the telescope encircling
the. planet Saturn. No scientist Of note
has dared, as yet, to seriously consider
this theory, but these sunsets are, never
theless, as great a mystery as ever. That
they are due to moisture in thu atmos-
phere, or to dust hurled up into the air
at the volcanic eruptions last summer in
Java, is now discredited. a lady has
ventured the surmise that the red sun
sets are due to an effort on the part of
the sun to adjust itself to the new
standard time; but, of course; this is a
joke. 1t is clear that there are more
things in heaven and earth, unexplained,
than are dreamed of, not only by the
philosophy but by the science of modern
times.
