Both in England and on the continent
the constant presence in grimy and
squalid houses of thrifty plants and
flowers is a touching surprise TO an
American. In late number of the
Century Mr.. Keenan, told us q similar
,tory of the wretchcd peasant villages of
Siberia. Apparently, asserts the New
York Graphic, there ar, no people who
care so little for flowers as we Amcri-
cans. We need society to promote
window gardening, not oaly among tn,
working but among the idle classes. 1t
might be as good for the morals of tho
one as the other, and certainly it woul
be delight to see some of our up town
dull, tiresome brown stone quarrics thus
relieved and frightened. Then there
ought to bs another society whose sole
business should be to prom ote the plant
ing of wisteria vines. They now do
more to beauti!y New York than any
other one thing, AID they ought to be
made TO do ten times as much q, they

Referring to the inaugur; ton of Prcsi-

says in his book, 'Thc Capitals Of
Spanish America" that the Mexican
pcop.e, like all the Spanish race, arc
fond of ceremony; but tho Inaugural
tion of their President is not attended
with SO much display or interest as is
shown on similar occasions on this 81 lie
of the Rio Graudc. Perhaps it is be-
cause the event occurs so often. Dur
ing the ESQ years between the fall Of
tho empire and the establishment of
the republic there wcro but sixty-four
Viceroys; lut, during tho sixty three
years that followed, there have Eeen
thirty-two esilcnts, seven Dictators
and two Emperors. Although the con-
stitutional term OF the Presidency is
four years, but two il the long list were
permitted to serve out their time, and

Fifty years ago boots had the prefer

all weathers, the boot was worn out
time is bringing boots into the fashion
again, at least for winter wear, and it
seems to be in the interest of good
health. 1t stands to reason that it
should be so. Everybody respects the
force of the general hygien.c principle
that it is necessary to keep the head
cool and the feet warm if good health
is sought Boots cover not only the
feet, but the ankle and the lower leg,
and hence fight off rheumatism, that
delights in attacking those parts
Wooden stockings are possibly too
heating and make the feet perspre.
With a pair of good boo s, cashmere
socks are better. The sole of a winter
boot should lie thick, but, being thic5,
it isn't necessary that it should be
heavy. Cork soles are excellent, and
they make light weighted boot, while
protecting the foot from the wet. A
pair of fancy-leather tops, say of the
best morocco, will last many years, and
so, with footing, boots eventually cost
as little as shoes. l he bOOt-legS
should fit as snugly to the limbs as the
size of the feet will permit. This
makes the legs of the trousers fit tho
better. Fschew goloshes. They m

NEW YORK CORRESPONDENCE. Z.

looks to any athletic exercise which
will develop American Drawn and
cope successfully with British records
in the matter of muscle and nerve with
the greatest interest.
What sort of position does hurd-

was asked.
"Hurdling has not yet won for itself
the position or the attention which it
de ;eryes," he replied at requires a
comb milton of three qualities wind,

of training which are not willing to

rush, in which the competitor is so en-
crossed by the task that is cut out for
Ii m that he has no time to turn and
look to see if anyi ody is picking up.
He simply forges ahead for all he is
worth, and tries to reach the string in
about as lively passage from the
starting point as his legs can make.
The movement a hurdler adopts is
more like n dance movement than any
thing else. 1t is pedestrian I'll thmic
run with as many steps as notes in so
many equal measures-a passage of ten
bars. The reason for this is obvious.
The runner must bring himself at a
good point to spring from and cleaI
the hurdle. Ii his steps are so timeC
that he fetches up for the last leap toe
near the hurdle, a much greater effor
is needed to hurl himself across the
bair,er. The same is true, to q degree
if he brings to for the jump at little
too great distance from the pole,
"Springing and recovery from the
descent SO as to resume his course are
the naturally retardinG points in his
action, and the good hurdler IT. es tc
bring his spring as smoothly and cor
rectly, SO to speak, into his motion as
he possibly may, so that the upward
rise, VIII ch calls for so different
movement of the muscles, may not al
