The town Of Jalapa is tour thou,..&

The town Of Jalapa is four Thousand
feet above sea-level, and seventy miles
from Vera Cruz. This mountain 10
celebrated for the m~agniicence of its
scenery, the beauty of its women, and!
the sweetness of it's flowers. 1t has
about ten thousand inhabitants. The
chip:chipi, or light drilling rain, that
often falls on Jalapa, is about the only
drawback to the tourist.
Jalapa was a town when Cortez first
climbed the great mountains that n
circle the City of Mexico. 1t was
called Xalaya. and near by is the town
of Perote, where the American prison.
ers were confined in 1S47.
There are few towns in Mexico so
happily situated. At a good height
above the sea coast, it is on the edge
of the plateau behind which towers
the summit of Macultepec, and
while it overlooks the rich low
lands of the Sierra Caliente-
Hot Lands-it escapes their baneful
vapors. The town lost much of its i'm
portance as a commercial enterpot by
the opening of the Mexican Railway
via Orizava from Vera Cruz to the City
of Mexico, but is now connected by
tramway with the former. Among the
stone buildings of this town stands the
old Franciscan monastery, built in
1866, and looming up forever among
the fragrant groves of Jalapa like a
ghost to guard this paradise Mertco

THE TIMES OF THE END.

Ii Path of Progress the Path OF Life
Prolonged Exertion Necessary.
There is many a seeming end of the
world. Wherever the horizon touches
the earth, whether it rests on mountain
or plain, on land or on the sea, there is
an end of the world, a seeming ter
mination to all onward progress. So
it is with the horizons of the mind and
of the spirit. The end of school-days,
the college graduation, the cutting
short of a life in which ones own has
been bound, retirement from active
business effort-all these, and many
more, may be to us so many ends of the
world. A school prize may be the
school-boy's horizon. shutting out all
beyond; a college diploma may be the
horizon of the student, and when that
is won, it may seem as if the end of all
had come. These r the perilous
tmes-the times of the end. Shall the
end of ones present world-the goal
of ones present effort-be accepted
as the final goal? Shall the mar who
has accomplished some present term
of service rest content with that accom-
plishment or push on to find new worlds
to conquer? When the traveller reaches
the earthly horizon which had seemed
to him to be the end of the world, he
finds himself on the threshold of a new
world which stretches away to a new
end of the world. So should it be with
those other horizons. and so every
faithful spirit finds it to be with those
horizons. The student finds that a
wider world awaits him than that of
school or college; the bereaved finds
that a new path opens up for his lonely
walking; the man who has scored his
final business success. finds that other
accounts remain to be settled than
those recorded in his ledgers.. 10 each
the path of progress is the path of life.
Faithful performance in the past is
crowned with failure unless it is con-
tinued in faithful performances of the
new duties of the present. The end of
the world is no end of the world at all;
it is only a call into = new sphere with
new opportunities of service. Happy
they who pass beyond the end of the
world into the newer world, to take up
their fuller service with rejoicing.--S.

Description of the Newest Styles Imported
BY Fashionable Modistes.
The newest travelling cloaks import
ed by fashionable modistes are of ecru
canvas striped with colors, lined
throughout with silk, and trimmed
down the front with a long scarf Of
brown wool lace. These are very dressy
indeed, and are made with loose square
sleeves set in on the shoulders and
down next the back forms, where they
double under to meet the piece in front.
Mohair wraps are trimmed with gall
loon or q little lace; but those meant
for use rather than dress are plainly
stitched near the edges. The more
youthful dust cloaks are fitted to the
figure in redingote style, with coat
sleeves, and some fullness on the tour
nure in pleats or in French gauging.
Still others are fitted smoothly over the
hips, and have the skirt gathered or
plated to the edge. The latter are made
either of pongee or of mohair; fawn or
d~ust-colored mohair, with some
bows of green ribbon and a
hood lined with green silk,

fancy for using this goods and gay
colors for these wraps also extend to
other sheer woolens, like yelling. which
comes in dark brown with pencil stripes
of red, olive and blue upon it. Thisis
made up in long redingote with a
hood, and is provided on each side
with a loop and button to fasten it up
as a polonaise, and display AIRED bison-
cloth skirt that is worn under it. The
wrap is, however, made very long, and
may be worn over any other skirt, or
over an entire dress. Bourette or tuft-
ed cloth of dark color is usedfor ulsters
and redingotes. and there are also
others of striped or plaid English
cloths. Navy blue diagonal wool with
red silk lining for the hood is popular
for the English listers that are made
with close-fitted front and belted back.
The serge and corduroy tailor jackets
for travelling have been already noted.
Perhaps the newest sacques are those
of English checked homespun made
with a belt across the short back, while
the longer front is turned back down
each side in revers that NAV be unbut-
toned and Tapped the opposite way to
make the jacket double-breasted.-

How the Esqutmaux Hunt the Reindeer.
Aided l3Y Boys and Dogs.

Nv" uAO ! 1k0kuuOCI"
Aided Isy Boys and Dogs.
Esquimaux dogs are used in various
ways in hunting. When the weather
is so fogggy that a hunter can not see
very far, and there is consequently but
little prospect of his killing anything
unless he almost stumbles upon it, one
of them will take his bow and arrows.
or his gun, if he be fortunate enough
to W one. and giving the best-trained
hunting-dog in charge of one of his
sons, they start out Misunderstanding.
The boy puts a harness on the dog, ties
the trace around his own waist. or
holds it in his hands, and follows his
father out into the fog.
OF course, the older Esquimaux has
some idea where the reindeer will be
grazing or resting. and he soon finds
out which way the wind is blowing
over the place where he suspects the
reindeer to be. Then, with his boy
and the dog, he goes around i'll such a
way that the game will not be dis.
turbed, to some place where the wind
blowing over the reindeer will come
toward the hunters. AS soon as the
place is reached, the dog smells the
reindeer. and commences shifting the
ar as if anxious to go toward them.
The boy allows the dog to advance
slowly, still holding ON to the harness
80 that it shall not run away. As soon
as the dog scents the deer, it goes
directly toward them, and when it Is
quite near, it grows excited, and COM
mences to- jump and to jerk the harness

JALAPA.
A Town That Has Occupied the Pen OF
Poet and Historian.

A Town That Has Occupied the Pen of
Poet and Historian.
Among the most elevated peaks in
Mexican territory rises the Cofre
(Trunk) of Perote. on a colossal wall
crowned by the Star Mountain, Oriza-
va, which from a height of nearly
eighteen thousand feet looks calmly
out over the dark-blue waves of the
Mexican gulf.
At the feet of the Cofre de Perote is
the beautiful city of Jalapa, justly
called the garden of the Republic,
where brilliant birds sing their litanies
and bright flowers wave INCREASINGLY
their perfumed censers. ALI the exu-
berance of the tropics surrounds
Jalapa. The forests of lemons,
oranges and mangoes reach out toward
every point in the horizon. and the air
is heavy with their perfume. Tall,
graceful reeds rock in the breath of
winds which watt lazily up from the
torrid coast. Under the shadow of
plantains grow the coffee plants. The
tobacco leaves surcharge the atmos-
phere with their strong, peculiar scent,
and recall the legend Of the discovery
Of tobacco across the gulf in Yucatan
centuries ago. The vanilla bean. with
it's precious extract and volatile oil,
grow untended. it's delicate aroma lost
in the overpowering odors from a
thousand open challces of fruit and
flower.
The bamboo sugar cane reaches an
extraordinary height under the hot sky
that bends above the canton of Jalapa.
The reed-like water grass. carrying its
nutritious freightage of rice, grows as
rapidly as among the torrid marshes of
India and China. The golden crowns
OF corn wave for miles along the sides
of these Mexican Andes, and valuable
dye and gum woods and scores of me-
dicinal plants are found around Jalapa.
Among the latter is jalap, the famous
cathartic, first imported from this trop-
ical town in 1910, but now compare
lively rare in that vicinity.
Tiny torrents, struck from the gran
tie mountains by some invisible Moses,
ripple oyer the pebbly pavements of
Jalapa. and, breaking into cascades, go
singing over beds of marble to lose
themselves in rushing rivers. Under a
sky of amethyst is the eternal snow
that caps Orizava; the hardy pines
lower down; the deep, dark forests;
the wealth of tropical vegetation; every
complexion of vegetable growth-arc-
tic, temperate and tropic-on the stepres
that slope from the summit to the sea.

TRicYcLes.
Especially Adopted For Women
Healthy Amusement.

10AlCuy fAAllu6esAACuts
Although tricycles have been ridden
by women foP some time, yet the
amusement Gone of the most conducive
to health ever introduced) has not in
creased in popular favor as much as it
deserves to do. Lawn-tenn;s intro
duced about the same time as the tricy.

spite the numerous cases in which in.
jury has resulted, and one explanation
of this may be that whereas a good
racquet costs at most SIS, yet a.good tri.
cycle can not be obtained under twenty
times the sum-, and this item, to very
many in these hard times, is a consid,
Grafton. Another cause is the exces.
sive disfavor with which a large section
of society still regards the exercise. To
hear the opinions of some people. il
would appear to be almost criminal for
a girl to appear on one of ''those We.
locipedes," and the most unfounded
charges are trumped up. For example,
n wise person asserts it Injuries the
spine. In very many cases, persons
suffering from spinal affections have
been able to ride tricycles when the ial
of a carriage was insupportable. and,
moreover, have derived great benefit
from it.
Another objection is that a tricycling
woman must be '.fast." The reason
why is not very clear. Tennis-players
are not considered so, neither are all
who ride on horseback. The reason
for this opinion must lie in the fact that
some EAST girls have been very ready
to adopt this mode of travelling, being
rapid; and so their steady sisters who
adopted the exercise for the good OF
health Ire given brevet rank as such.
Another objection much urgedImoss
cordially indorse. "They are all very
well in the country. but not in the
streets of the city. The advantage Of a
tricycle. consists in the long country
rides in quiet lanes, inaccessible to the
walker. A trip of twenty or thirty
miles-an impossibility to the walker
is a mere bagatelle to the t~ricyclist.
Luggage to a limited extent can be
fastened behind, which would be sim,
ply intolerablc if carried.
The foregoing are some of the more

and cheers the rider, whereas the is.

the circulation, and, with ordinary
care. are first-rate preventives of cold.
The tricycles most suitable for tho
use of women are the side geared ones.
Those centrally geared can be used.
but the aforementioned are the most
desirable, the central frame in the

!: THE situation at A%ranjuez, a suburb

is terrible. The population of $4,000
has dwindled to 5000. Those who are

before aid can reach them. More than

including six officers, have died Of
