Wooden Bulwarks.

The Yaqui Indians long since used
tactics in war that were unknown to
civilized troops. In former uprising
they were attacked by Gen. Pesquerias,
who was much amused to see the saw
ages use blankets as shield against
the soldiers bullets. Holding up a
blanket at both ends, so that the edge
just touched the ground, the Indian
rifemen marched boldly towards him
behind this apparently fimsy protec-
ton. The Mexican General was soon
alarmed, however, to find that his bull
lets did not stop the strange advance,
and the moving fort Of blankets soon
came so close to him and poured in
such deadly fire that he was fain to
fly the field in confusion and with great
loss. The Yaquis had become acquain-
ted with the simple fact that, while a
bullet will pass through twenty blank
cts strAined over frame or laid against
a firm surface, it will not penetrate a
single one if moistened and hung up SO
as to swing clear of the ground. The
bullets which Gen. Pesquerias imagined
were passing through the Indian blank
cts and thinning the ranks of the saw
ages were all falling harmlessly on the
outside of the wooden bulwarks. San

New Charge Against Roller-Skating.

A stylish-d dressed young lady, whose
features were concealed by thick veil,
entered the downtown Office of
prominent physician yesterday after
noon and, with some show of nervous
ness, requested an audience with him.
The doctor led the way into his private
office, and the fair patient removed her
veil, remarking as she did so, II wish
you would tell me what is the matter
with my face.''
In the dimly-lighted room the physi-
clan was unable to discover that any
thing was wrong. Stepping to the
window the lady said, pointing to the
roguish dimples that Nature has placed
on cheeks and chin and the little creas-
es about the corners of her eyes: do
you see that? My face looks as though
l had been working in coal-mine. "
Closer inspection showed the physician
that the dimples and creases as well as
the larger pores in the lady's face were
filled with dark, grimy substance. x

til am tired, but cannot remove it. /

tor, with smile; ''the roller-rink

"What do you mean?" she asked in
troubled tone.
Nothing but roller-rink dust. That
is all. 1t is nothing serious. Try soap
and water again and use this solution
before retiring at night, and your COM
plexion will be all right again.
20, | am so glad" the lady re-
marked, as she adjusted her veil and
departed.
''That is the latest feature of the roll
er-skating craze, remarked the ply
stefan to reporter who had overheard
the conversation with some amusement.
''That is the second lady who has been
to see me with similar complaint
within a week.
''What is the cause of it?''
''Why, you see. the dust that rises
from the floor of the rink is very fine
and penetrating, and when it settles
on the skin, dampened with perspira-
ton, it at once finds it way into the
pores. Cleveland Leader.

Campaign Liars.

Who can tell how long ago it was
that the agricultural, political and re-
igious press began to advise women
to go into the poultry business? Tbs
advice comes in punches, like aspara-
gus. For long time there will be
none in the market, and then some edit
or will break out in rhaspodies over a
lone widow who has kept seven hens
through hard winter on a pint of
corn, sold $S15 worth Of eggs, paid off
a mortgage on her little cottage, and
sent her eldest boy through college.
This story will have the run of the
press for season, and be printed from
Dan to Beersheba, and from Maine to
California. Then some other venera-
BILE liar, rusting away in an off politi
cal year, will reel off one or two arti-
Giles about the pleasure of keeping hens
and the enormous profit. We do not
deny that money can be made out of
poultry, but it requires the strongest
mental balance, and the most vigorous
constitution to stand it, and it is a bus
ines peculiarly untitled for women.
Who has not seen woman trying to
| chase hen out of the fower-bed or
garden, and who can deny that all wo-
manly grace, all loneliness and all
sweetness of temper disappears in the
struggle. And how terrible are the
passions aroused in the war OF words
when the poultry breaks iato the
sanctity Of the neighbours yard, and
the neighbor comes to the back fence
to hurl forth his Indignation in gusts
of rugged eloquence. Strong men have
grown gray in an instant on seeing a
thoroughbred hen come flying over the
fence followed by string Of broken
bricks and old tomato cans and pro-
family longer than her pedigree, and
realizing the terrible ordeal to be gone
through when the enraged neighbor
got his second wind, and came over
the fence himself. Oh, no! the poultry
business is no business for a. woman.
Still, about once in three months the
press breaks out in chorus of praise
Of this nefarious and soul-destroying
traffic
