THERE is every indication that Barnes
intends backing every oneoi his Derby en-
tries. First Of all, he backed Gallifet TO
win 50. 600: then he backed The Lion TO
win $40, 600 and now he has closed one of
the books ON Alexander $4,000 TO
$3.50. Ii his stable should happen to win
the classic event he is determined TO make
a ''hog killing" But Barnes is avery san.
guine individual about his horses, and n
commonplace animal often assumes in his
optimistic eyes The proportionso Of llindoo
or fremont. For this reason not a great
amount OF stock is taken in the tips fur
nishcd in his backing.
In speaking Of Favoritc Wilkes. son Of
the noted George Wilkes the Sportsman
says: "llo is great horse, both individu-
ally and by reason Of his breeding, which
is superb. He can trot in 2'2O and Is bred

by AlcXander's Abdallah, and his second
dam by Wagner, the four.miIc race horse.

How the ParagunYans Fought.

1t was not alone the Paraguayan men
and boys who had to bear arms in that
struggle. Food for powder" Of that
kind was soon exhausted. Then came
the women's turn to fight, and, indeed,
from an early period Of the war. mothers,
wives and sweethearts had donned the
soldiers uniform and fought bravely in
the ranks with those they loved.
After n certain battle. when the bury.
ing parties were busily pursuing their
grim work, they came upon the bodies
Of two loving companions in arms,
clasped in a last embrace.
The head of one rested on the others
breast, while an arm was closely drawn
round him, the dlsengaged hand being
raised 10 stanch the life blood flowing
from a cruel cash. They looked like two
true comrades whose friendship death
itself had not been able TO sever.
That. however, was not all their his
tory. A wounded mother, in n soldiers
guise, had dragged herself to the spot
where her son lay bleeding, and there,
regardless Of her own fatal injuries, had
placed his head upon her breast, and
tried to soothe his last living moments,
as she had done his first on eaVth.-Win-

The ~ ou,c, a, Costa g,ca.

The little delays NJ the various wayside
stations afford excellent opportunities of
observing the different types OF Costa
Ricans; for side by side with the travelled
gentleman, attired with scrupulous re-
gard 10 the fashions OF this last quarter
Of the Nineteenth century, stand the
barefooted men OF the peon class, in
nearly every case more than decently
CARRIED, but with the silken scarf about
the waist and the huge machete which
are the insignia of their rank in life, These
groups are always picturesque, for the
costume of the women alone is sufficient
10 add a charm to the rapid succession
of pictures ever passing in atlluence OF
color and form before the eyes of the OBJ
ervan traveller.
These women. even small girls, wear
full starched skirts that touch the
ground, only displaying their small bare
feet as the folds sway in the motion OF
walking. From living so much in the
open air and from the amount of exer-
else taken, they nearly all glory in splen-
didly developed chests. which, with their
rounded arms, are fully displayed by
the low, much befrilled waists worn
by them all, differing only in the matter
of more or less adornment. Still, over
their shoulders they dispose the folds OF
a silk or wooden scarf, or a bright colored
handkerchief, which usually only reveals
the full throat and the graceful curve OF
the arm and shoulder.
While referring to the beauty OF the
e women il must be added that their
pleasing appearance lasts only with the
years of Their first youth. Whether the
exercise and the open air together pro-
duce q too early maturity, and in conse-
quence a toe early decay, it is hard to
say--the result is there all the same.
