Saving 1t for the Old Flag.
Hartford Courant.I

Capt Nathaniel Palmer, of Stonington,
the original discoverer of Palmers land,
furthest south of all known land, tells the
following story of the way he saved the
discovery: He was getting ready to leave
it, when a Russian frigate hove in sight
Capt Palmer was ambitious to claim the
land for the United States. How to con-
tend with the ship of the car he did not
know at first He waited till the frigatt
ran to the leeward of him and hove to.
and then he put up his sheet and squared
away for her, running under her stern and
calling out as he shot past: "Ahoy there!
ship ahoy do you want pilot inn" The
ruse succeeded, for the Russian at once
filed away, and left the dominion free to

Horseback Riding in Mexico.


A pretty sight is the return of the horse
men from their morning ride to Chapultepec.
Nearly every equestrian goes in that direc-
ton, it is the only road leading out of the
capital that is at all paSSable Even the road
to Chapultepec is in a vile condition after
hard shower; then soon as you Leave the
macadamiZed roadway OF the Paseo de la
Reforma you find yourself on a DOGGY, miry
road, into which your horses hoofs sink so
deep as to compel him to drop into walk.
The condition of all wagon roads in Mexico,
so far as have seen them, is intensely dis
graceful TO the government and the people,
for in a country where labor and material
for bodybuilding are so cheap and there are
so many men out of employment, there is
excuse for having bad roads.
A small percentage of the millions taken
during the past four years from the national
treasury by President Gonzales and his
friends would have iutficed, if properly ex-
pended, to put all the roads leading out of
the capital in excellent condition for several
miles in each direction. As il is now, the
only comfortable mode of riding is by the
horse cars in bad weather, or after q rain;
at other times horseback ride is indeed a
treat Not only do tie male Mexicans ride,
but also u few of the native ladies and many
of the foreign ladies. especially the English
and Americans. Very few Mexican ladies
dare be seen in public On horseback, as it is
here considered vulgar form of exercise for
women.
There is no accounting for taste, and prob
ably some OF our American customs appear
quite as absurd to the Mexicans as this idea
of theirs concerning horseback exercise seems
to US Ladies who take horseback exercise
here usually adopt the Mexican costume, as
far as the hat is concerned, wearing very
broad bIimmed felt hat similar in shape to
the ordinary Mexican "sombrero'j, in either
black, Ii hit gray, or pale maroon color In
these sombrero% which are made of much
lighter weight ;or ladies than those worn
by men, they look very jaunty. The rest of
the costume is almost exactly the same as
that worn by equestriennes in Paris, Lon
don OF New York.

Tho Diagonal Movements Which Dlstin-

Tho Diagonal Movements Which DlstIp.
guish Mans Walk.
One OF the most remarkable thinps
about q mans walk is the diagonal
movements which characterizes it. The
reader may imagine the hands and feet
to form tho four corners Of parallelo-
gram, and the diagonal limbs are, of
course, the right arm and left leo. the
left arm and right leg. By diagonal
movement" we, therefore, intend to
convey the fact that the diagonal limbs
during locomotion always swing in the
same direction. A soldier on parade
keeps his arms motiOnless by his Sides
and on no account must they be allowed
toi vibrate, This is not what he would
naturally do If left % himself Watch
any one person out of the hundreds
walking along the streets, and it will be
seen that he invariably swings his arms
as he goes along, perhaps TO an ex-
treme degree If he Is = rustic, and less
If he is town bred. The arms swing
by the body like couple of pendula,
and with speed which entirely
depends upon the rate at which he NAV
be walking. The athlete, anxious
to complete the given number of
laps in mile, or couple miles, and
outstrip his competitors, swings his arms
70 and fro with quickness which cor
responds with the motion of his swift
feet; the business man also swings his
arms with motion which, if not so
quick, exactly times with the motion of
his legs; and even the lille man about
town, lounging along some fashionable
quarter, uncoDsciously gives a slow
motion to his arms which correspondent to
his tardy legs. Now, If the, motion be
even carelessly observed, 1t will be found
that the right arm swings forward at
the same time as tho left log, and when
the right leg is advancing X is the left
arm which accompanies It This is the
natural gait, and to convince ones self
that u Is SO, ibi only requisite to get a
friend TO walk across the room in the
opposite fashion, that is, TO swing tho |
right arm forward when stopping ont
with the right leg, and then, in the
same manncr, when bringing forward
the left leg TO accompany Il with the
left arm. Such gait is both unnatural
and uncomfortable to the person who
tries it, and also ludicrous to the OBJ
server who watches the iirst attempt OF
the kind The diagonal movement OF
.he limbs is the natural method adopted
by men when walking, and 1t is the first
and most apparent fact that one ascer-
tains in studying human locomotion.--
