Love seems to be the handspring of
life among the Mexican women. They
adore their husbands in n worshipful man
ner that l grieve to say my little woman
doesn't approve of; they love their chill
dren with n hrooding tenderness that
finds constant expression in the sweetest
and most loving words, and they love
each other and all the world besides; even
on their animals they bestow the utmost
affection. Their very language lends itself
particularly to the expression of their alb
sorbing mother love, and children are
Precioza, Adorable, Cara, Mia, Cariszimo
and Alma Mia, besides numberless other
caressing titles. And so the little woman.
tired as She was, found herself rested in
the fullness of the Astounding womanly
sympathy. And afterward she told me
that she adored Mexican women.
On one of our excursions we saw two
young McNicans, Il lad and Il girl
who had been held captives by the Indians
nearly four years when they escaped and
managed to find their way home again,
only to be taken to the grave of the
mother whose heart had broken with
longing and sorrow for them.-Mcxican

Professor John Wise, a world famed
%aeronaut, sailed through the air in July,
1859, from st. Louis, NO., to Henderson,
Jefferson county, N. Y.-a distance in a
straight line of $50 miles. He laid claim
to 1850 miles, by. reason of the many
turns taken during the trip, which took
his balloon out of a direct course into
circles and curves. This voyage is the
longest recorded in balloon history.
The balloon was In the air over night
n period of about twenty hours. Profess
SCR Wise tried more tina once, but with
out success, to equal or exceed the famous
trip mentioned. Finally, a few years ago,
he left st. Louis in a balloon on a long
trip for the last time, He has never been
heard from. A reporter who went with
him was found dead some weeks later on
the shore of Lake Michigan. BY reason
of this n other disasters the suggestion
OF a long air voyage gives rise in the pub
lie mind to a keen sense of the perils
which attend every attempt to stay in the
sky over night.-St. Nicholas.

Fighting with Baro KnuckIes.

You will hear n number of so called
fighters nowadays talking of their ability
to fight with bare knuckles, but the truth
is that but few fighters have the courage
to fight with the raw 'uns. 1t requires
great pluck to face n determined fighter
and look at the hard, uncovered knuckles
playing carefully in front Of you, and
ready at theo owners will to be driven into
your face or stomach. Thus men who
will fight with the greatest determination
with even us mall as two ounce gloves,
will quail when brought face to face with
n pair of uncovered fists. No amount of
coaching or training will cure them,
either. The fear of a bare fist seems
innate with some men and they can never
conquer this fear, although their pluck
has never been questioned when engaged
in a glove contest, no matter how wicked.
This popularity is noticeable mostly
among the Germans, who have a holy
horror of being hit with a naked fist.
There have been plucky Germans, who
have fought like tigers with gloves, but
put them up with nothing on their hands
and they are too nervous to do themselves
justice. Globe Democrat Interview.

A very gorgeous novelty in society is
called the "Rainbow Luncheon Two
O'Clock is the hour that has been fixed
upon rs most suitable, though oddly
enough an accompaniment of the event is
a gas lighted lunch ropm, with the jets
shaded by globes Of various tints, curtains
of silk being employed TO shut out the OBJ
trusive daylight. Aton re of these rainbow
parties n group Of mandolin players, half
concealed by tail towering plants, gave an
Oriental ouch to 1.-THE entertainment Over
the oriel window was fitted Il rainbow arch
four feet long and composed of roses of
seven different shades.
There were three TALES, and at each
plate was a hand painted menu card with
the guests numc and Il miniature rainbow
on the back. Tho first table was all in
yellow with glittcring cut glass and silver
decorated in n repouss Of Marguerites.
The brass candelabra in the center rested
in u fiat basket OF yellow VAN tupeTs and
yellow shades. The fr.ngcd doylies were
embroidered in gold threads and the
damask napkins in yellow roses. The
china for the ten courses was all in yell
low, but different in design for each
course. The second table was decked in
red, with napkins embroidered in red
roses, and the bisquc cUudelabra set on a
base OF iacqueminot and lighted by red
tapers, shaded by red globes. The china
for euch course was also of shaded red.
The third table had blue appointments.
The napery was worked in blue forget me
nOts, and the tapers and shades were blue,
with n fiat basket of white roses. The
blue points came on in cut glass dishes,
