Horsemanship of Mexican Bows,

One of tho finest and most inspiritinp sights of small town life in Mexico is the horsemanship of tho boys from 8 to 17-perfect young Centaurs, as much at home in the saddle as Arabs. How they go laundering through the streets, what marvelously short turns they make, and how instantaneously they come to a short, sharp stop in headlong gallon! These country towns of Mexico are tho nurseries, so to speak, of the national cavalry, an arm of the service in which Mexico excels. The finest sight in the world, one on which the gods must look down approvingly, is a high spirited lad astrlde good horse. 4 Mexican boy takes to the back of horse as Cape Cod boy does to boat. At no age is rider bolder than in that enchanted period of existence lying between child hood and manhood.
 A Mexican lad, in default of saddle, will enjoy himself hugely bareback. He early learns to use the rope or riata, and. beginning with lassoing dogs and pigs. ho advances to mules and COWS. and finally essays the roping of a lively bull. So expert do they become that in war they frequently drag their enemies from their saddles by skillful cast of the rope. Some of my younger friends here seem to me to live on horseback. They come home at noontime to snatch a bite. as most boys will, but off they arc again on their tireless horses. They have tho good fortune to live in country which enjoys a climate which makes out-of- door life possible all the year round, and .he country lad, continually on horse back, grows up straight, robust and darlng.-Boston Herald Mexican Letter

Eating by the Alpaabec.

 "How will pickled kidneys unswer?" replied the clerk, after moments s thought.
 First rate. Give me dozen cans The kittens life is saved," exclaimed the strange patron, with enthusiasm.
 '.I told my wife," he continued, ..that It failed to send homo a kangaroo, dead or alive, before o'clock, should expect to find tho kitten served up for supper in the latest Chinese style. But your happy thought saved her.
 You see we all got tired eating the same things day after day, and so last month we agreed that during December we would begin and eat up tor rather down. the alphabet, taking one letter a day, With bread, potatoes, tea and coffee thrown in as staples.
 ''So Dec. we inaugurated the dietary system with a bill of fare consisting of apples in many forms, apricots pickled, asparagus, almonds and the staples. The next days menu was beef, beets, beans, biscuits, buttermilk, bacon and bon bons.
 "Ihe following day we feasted on chicken, codfish balls, clans, celery, cu- cunbers fifty cents each), crabs, cheese, cake, crackers, crullerS, carrots, canned entrants, canned cherries, citrons, cider, catsup and candy. And so it has gone on.
 "The fifth day would have been a fast day had it not been for eggs, but we made an Easter of it. Yesterday we dined, breakfasted and supped chiefly on jeliies. Today your kidney suggestion saves us from starvation, while to-mor- row we will grow fat on liver, lamb. lobster, lettuce, etc.
 "A queer thing about our new food departure is the number of things it has led us to put ill our mouths which We never thought of before Buffalo Express.

Hunting LobSterS.

For a seaside sport the visitors to a Cuban watering place have devised the safe pursuit of Holsters. The author of "The Pearl of the Antilles describes the chase:
 For this sport a big barge is secured, and after having been furnished with carpets and rugs for tho ladies' accom- modation we proceed to navigate the shores and creeks of the harbor. Three or four black fishermen accompany us and bear long torches of wood, by the light of which the ground beneath the shallow water is visible,
 Our prey is secured by throwing a net, in the meshes of which the lobster be- comes entangled; but should this prove intellectual long pole forked at one end Is thrust over the creatures back, and as he struggles to free himself from tho pronged embrace nimble negro dives into the water and captures him alive.
 Great excitement prevails when a lob- ster comes on board and bounds among our crew and passengers.-Youth Com panion,

The Cat sJOinetl In

4 cat was found in the organ during the services that were being held in the Masonic home at Broad street and Ger mantown avenue. Gen. Wagner pre- sided at the organ, and while the hymns were being sung the pussy joined in with more vigor than harmony. When the music ceased the cat took a rest also, While tho Scriptures were being read the cat broke forth again in volley of music, her voice pitched in c sharp, and Wagner served writ of eiectment on the feline. It was supposed to have been locked in the organ since Sunday last, and was very much emaciated.- Philadelphia Record.

Fillmore street. and one of them effected an
entrance through a second-story window about
3:45 am. Going to a room in which Mr.. Ken
ner's two daughters were sleeping he put
his head on the bare arm of one of the girls,
thus suddenly arousing her, and her screams
frightened him from the house. Mr.. George
Baxter, a son-in-law who lives with the family,
fired in the dark at the fleeing burglars. but
without other effect, so far as known, than to
expedite their movements. Miss Annie Kenner
says the burglar in her room was a colored
man.
