Democratic Plans,

WASHINGTON, March S-The selection of Senator German as chairman of the Demo- cratic caucus of the senats instead of Sena- tor Harris, who has occupied that position for years past, was q matter of much com mentabout the capitol.

It did not require much time to reach
the grove pointed out by lula Velas-
quez, and where they found their
horses ready for them, as Zela, the
maid, had said. They soon mounted
and rode away, with the shouts Of
Mexican soldiers, trying to find their
route OF. escape, ringing in their ears.
When at last their trail was discov-
cred the Mexicans gave them a hot
chase for a short distance; but as they
got near Juarez's camp they abandoned
the pursuit. Leo and his comrades
dashed into camp, where the lovely
lula was surrendered to her lover,
EzuaIdo, and the prisoners to Juarez
himself, who found in Colonel Fer
nandez a foe he had long desired to
capture.

the service soon after the adventure

however, he saw TuIa Velasquez and

Causes Of Bathing Accidents

In summing up the causes for so
many bathing accidents, a writer in
the A7IGJySit concludes that most of
them are mainly or entirely personal,
and so far preventab1e. Chief among
these is cramp, To a large extent this
is practically identical with fatigue, for
it is not the fresh and vigorous muscle
which most readily passes into spasm.
It is that which is Wearied with over
action, in which effete products are in
excess, nutrition consequently i'm
paired, all molecular changes languid ;
where, finally, the movement of cOn-
traction, once initiated, gives way but
slowly, and tends to lnger and becomes
tetanic.
The numbing influence of cold is an
other Well-known obstacle to muscular
activity, and for this reason it is not,
as a rule, advisable to remain more
than few minutes In the water. NAL
nutrition Of muscles is a factor which
ought not to be forgotten. It supplies
a reason while bathing very soon after
a meal is not advisable, much of the
blood required for muscular exertion
being then diverted to the digestive
organs. So likewise must it impose a
check upon the rashness of those, adult
and youth alike, who, after a period of
town life, with little physical exercise,
find themselves at the coast, and insist
on trying whether with jaded energies
they cannot safely accomplish feats OF
swimming

A sort Of melee commenced, that was

how. Pistol shots rang out on the still

HOUY.Hncks.

Holly-hocks are coming in style
again. Years ago, when pansies were
known only as Johnny-iump-Ups, and
fuchsias and geraniums were all i'm
ported from foreign lands and cost two
dollars a smell. hOlIy-hOcks were the
pride Of every garden, and held sway
along with the peonY and cabbage
rose. But the ineEOraOle DEGREES of
fashion ordered them all onto the back
seat, and there they have sat and pa
tiently bided their time like the plain
skirted dress, until the tickle world
has gone through the dizzy programme
of fancy varieties in flowers and in at
tire, and now they find themselves
trotted out, the dust Of years shaken
ont Of their garments, and they given
q prominent position in the flower gar
den. They have been doubled up and
cOlOred up by the manipulatiOns of the
florist, until people wonder why their
beauties were never discovered before.
This is a tickle world, and that's what
relieves the paOnotony and makes bust
ness. The hOlIy-hOck should make
good use Of It's time, for next year
somebody Of wealth and influence viii

bered with the great and ever-increas-
