DR.. LOOMS statements before the
New York Medical Society concerning
the danger of entertaining in college
gvmnasiums are not novel, but they
are decidedly timely; and coming from
so distinguished source, they will
doubtless have some effect. All college
authorities, and even the students
themselves, have known of late years
that if training was overdone, heart
and lung troubles were sure to follow.
They always have said that in their
own particular institutions care was
taken that entertaining should not
occur.-N. Y Tribune.

that the helpless woman was the only
living creature on board, Bymeans Of
a rope from shore and with the assist
ance of the recurring waves, the vessel
was pulled as far up on the beach as
practicable and made fast.
Still, however, the distance between
the vessel and the land was great. The
fishermen put rope around the
woman's waist and threw it to land.
They next lifted her over the bow and
gave her hold of the rope by which the
vessel had been drawn toward the
shore, and which was there held taut
by willing hands. Suspended in mid
air, this much tried woman of sixty
years actually scrambled hand over
hand for distance of several wards
until relieved by two men from the
shore, who, standing up to their mid
die in the water, caught her in their
arms. She was carried ashore nearly
dead with terror and exhaustion.
The people gave her food and rest.
She gained strength rapidly and was
taken soon to the mainland, and thence
by steamer to Hull. Thence hither by
rail. Here she found a telegram
awaiting her from the manager of the
Royal Aquarium in London Offering to
pay her G10 a week and expenses to
come to the aquarium. All she would
have to do would be to receive visitors

AN AWKWARD BLuNDER.
How Travelling Man Proved Himself t.
He "a Born Liar.

BE "A Born Liar.
Some years ago had occasion to
spend the night in the little town OF
Red Wing, Minnesota. 1 was given
lodging by Deacon Rogers, an estima.
BILE gentleman, who, although l was an
absolute stranger to him. entertained
me to the best of his knowledge and
ability. After an early tea | was taken
upstairs to the spare bedroom, which
was to be my apartment for the night.
The only thing l remember about the
room other than its musty flavor was
the spare bed-a large four-posted af.
fair, whose coverlids were of such
snowy wilderness and immaculate
smoothness that it seemed like sacri.
lege to disturb them; but tired man
has little conscience, and hastily dis.
missed my scruples and, turning out
the light, scrambled between the sheets.
The pillows were large and soft, and
the mattress was hard and unyielding.
After shifting my position a number of
times to find a comfortable place, | dis
covered that the bed had an adjustable
ridge in it. WhereverI moved there
it was. | couldn't avoid it; it followed
me everywhere. 1t was the only bed ]
ever saw that it was possible to fall out
of on both sides at once. Finally in
despair threw the pillows on the floor,
and then l made another astonishing
discovery. The ridge changed into a
hollow, which was even worse than the
ridge. | was unable to alter this, and
it stuck to me the whole of the night.
My dreams, such as | had, were
peculiar. | was spending my time in
alternately rolling up hill and then
rolling down again, the way you do in
a sleeping car on a Southern Indiana
railroad.
The next morning the deacon asked
me how | had spent the night. Dis
liking to be thought ungrateful, | told
him that had never slept better.
How did you like the bed?" asked
Mrs. Rogers.
'Never slept in one I liked better, -
1 replied.

another trip through the Northwest, |

repeated. 80. yes! he is the man who

what about the bed?" asked the
lady, as she exchanged significant
glances with an elderly gentleman.
Then with rare and radiant idiocy I
proceeded to describe as wildly as |
could the terrible fortunes | endured on
that frightful night. When | had
finished, the lady remarked sententious-

THE ANCIENT PUEBLO.


Its Past History, Present Resources and
Future Prospects.
The honorable Pueblo (Tucson) has
always prided itself on its antiquity.
1t claims, / believed, to be the third
oldest town in the United States, the
only two which are still more venera-
BILE and antique being San Augustine,
Fla, and Santa Fe, New Mexico. 1t
was about three hundred years ago
when the first settlers of whom history
speaks came hither. Some of Tucson :
present oldest inhabitants who belong
to the honorable society of pioneers
look as if they might have come here
about the same time. They have at
any rate. retained many of the simple
manners and customs of that period.
Tucson is pre-eminently an adobe
town. In Tombstone the adobe town
houses are tastefully disguised to simu-
late stone or brick. There is no false
pretense of that sort here; it is pure
and unadulterated mud. They have
not used it all, either; there is plenty
of it left in the streets.
The ancient Pueblo pursued the even
tenor of its ways for several hundred
years, nothing happening to disturb its
peaceful slumber-with exceptions Of
the passage of some of the 40 gold
seekers-until five years ago, when,
amidst great rejoicing from the majority
and secret misgivings on the part of
4 I'll e 1,
iron horse came towake the city from its
Rip Van Wrinkle sleep. From that time
modern Tucson dates its start The
arrival of the railroad put an end to the
good old-fashioncd days Of OK teams
from Yuma, when nothing less than Il
two bit piece was known, and fla person
growled at paying quarter for aneedle,
it was all laid to the high freight. The
old firms coming into competition with
modern methods one by one went TO
the wall. Tucson went in for fine
buildings and big debt, like any giddy
young city in her teens. The reaction
from the railroad boom soon came
Tucson allowed the Sonora railroad to
be built to Benson, and the Mexican
trade fell off. A number Of grand
mining schemes resulted disastrously
to the investors. Things were looking
very blue indeed two years ago, when
came the Quijotoa excitement. Tucson
thought that her good days had chen
surely come. Quijotoa was to be
another Virginia City, to which Tucson
would play San Francisco, Two or
three telegraph lines, as many stage
lines, and several projected railroads
were fighting for a share of the great
prospective trade. A mile of street
was built at the Bonanza city," the
money for which came mainly from
Tucson, although Quijotoa contributed
a great many dollars. The writer, who
was rather more of a lunatic than the
rest, took out big newspaper outfit
and supplied 'long-felt-want.n After
a weary two years of hopes deferred,
that have made many heart sick, the
end has come The bubble has burst,
and all who could beg, borrow, or
steal ride on any mode of conveyance,
from a burro to lumber wagon, have
left the city of the near future. --ArG

A GLOVE.

An Yesterday found a glove
Grown shabby, full of tiny RPS,
But dear to me because nv love
once through 1t thrust her finger-tips.
\ glove one would not care to see
Upon his arm in public street:
Yet here own there is for me
No relic n the world more sweet.
A faint. far scent of lavender
SteaiS from it, as the clover smelt,
When through the fields | walked with her
Aud pluclled the blossoms for her belt.
Faith! but loved the little hand,
That used to wear this time stained thing
Its slightest gesture of command
Would set my glad heart futtering.
Or if il touched my finger so,
Or smoothed my hair-why should speak
OF those old DAYS? 1t makes, you know,
The tears brim over on my cheek.
Poor stained. WORKOUT, long.wristed glove
] tn nix it almost understands
That reverently and with love
! hold ii in my trembling hands.
And that it is so dear to me,
With its old fragrance. far and faint
Because my mother wore il, She
On earth my love, in heaven my saint.

MEXICAN FOOT-GEAR.
The Shoeless and StOckingIess Citizens OF
Our Sister Republic.


Our Sister Republic.
The 10000, 900 inhabitants of Mexico
use almost entirely homemade boots,
shoes, CATERS, slippers and sandals Sc
far as they wear any foot-covering at all.
Shoes in Mexico are European in
PRODUCTION and do not properly belong
to the national costume. A large pro-
portion of the population (probably a
majority do not wear shoes at all.
The sandal, which is a sole of leather.
raw-hide or woven maguey fiber,
strapped to the bottom of the foot with
strings of the same material, is the only
foot-covering used by this class of peO-
pie, and as every man is his own shoe
maker, and the climate requires no
protection for instep or ankle, the ma
tional sandal is doubles the most eco
nomical, comfortable and healthy shoe.
ing that can be worn in this country.
In proof of this the infantry regi-
ments of the Mexican army, armed and
equipped otherwise without regard to
expense, still wear the leather sandal
in preference to shoes, not solely for
the sake of economy, but because it is
considered generally healthier, keeps
the feet in better condition, is more
easily repaired or replaced, and makes
easier marching.
The shoe-wearing population of the
republic is chiefly of European origin
or descent and such of the Indian pop
uiation as by education and association
have learned to prefer European fash
ions and modes of living. This class
has inherited from their Indian as well
as their Spanish ancestors remarkably
small well-modcled feet and hands,
upon which they pride themselves con-
siderably; consequently handsome
and'eleg antly-shaped shoe is more es-
teemed in Mexico than sound and
substantial one. and commands Il
reader sale. Hence, the cheaper shoes
made in the country, ii not so strong
and durable, are more carefully mod
eled and several sizes smaller than the
average trade shoe made in the United
States. Boston Commercial Bulletin.
