Ancient Mexican Ruins.

Charles E. Brown, young electrician
who has recently spent some time in
Mexico, speaking of Mexican ruins to
some acquaintancess said: "If the amount
of money and study that has been be-
slowed on Egypt, Italy, Greece and other
countries were devoted to Mexico, arch
geology would receive regular boom.
A few weeks ago extensive ruins were
discovered in a mountainous district in
Vera Cruz. This part of the country
has never been scientifically explored.
Among the ruins discovered were build
ings four to five stories in height. Re
semblances to the Grecian architecture
were shown by the windows, cornices
and bases. The latter have relief figures
and are frescoed in different colors, which
appear as fresh as the day they were
put on. +'''
"All sorts of figures were found in the
ruins, and number of marble slabs COW
cred with Aztec hieroglyphics are set in
the structures. Not far from this dis.
trict an old Aztec temple has been found.
It is occupied by a solitary priest, who is
said to be over hundred years old.
"The news of these valuable discover
les will probably attract scientists. Ex.
peditions will undoubtedly be sent there.
It is thought that key to the mystery
of the original settlement of Mexico may
be found in some such place as these
ruins in the mountains of Vera Cruz

Az Tea with the BaIlet Girls.

AZ Tea WIN the bauet Glris'
A representative assisted" at a curl
GUS kind Of tea meeting to which ladies
of the ballet, chorus ladies and dressers
were bidden. They came in scores, fresh
from the Empire, Alhambra and other
music halls. Mr.. W. Forbes, an evan
gelist whose work has been commended
by Mr.. Gladstone and Mr.. Spurgeon, was
the host, and the place of meeting was
the Whitfield church school room, in the
classic precincts Of Drury lane. After
the "hot buttered toast and gay Sally
Lunn" had been disposed of there was a
short service-Sankey' s hymns and short,
common sense addresses.
AS the guests, ladies from say an un-
certain age to girls Of 16 years, left to
trip it on the light fantastic toe and well
known boards in the region of Leicester
square, texts and flowers were given to
each as present from the Theatrical
Flower mission. Mr.. Forbes has these
pleasant social gatherings every now and
then, and through his acquaintance with
the neglected classes thus brought to-
gether is able to do some work of a
philanthropic as well as distinctly re-
ligious character among them. The
good man last year took 270 ballet
ladies-they are always called ladies-to
EPSON for a days outing. He meets
with no opposition from the music hall
authorities; indeed, the manager of the
Alhambra went to EPSON as well as lac

breaking Her postoff,ce Rox Glass.

An event at the postoffice Sunday has
caused some talk. 1t appears that on
leaving church Mrs. A. S. Ludlow, ac-
companied by two lady friends, called
at the postoffice and found the general
delivery department closed. There were
letters in her box, No. 172, and express
ing a strong desire to secure them, her
companions laughingly suggested that
she smash the glass. This was no sooner
said than she tapped it with the head of
her umbrella, and it broke. She then
remarked: II will have the letters now,
anyway" and securing them through
the glass passed out and went home.
There was a clerk in the rear Office at
the time, and he claims to have wit
messed the affair, but failed to present
himself. He says Mrs. Ludlow's re-
marks quoted above were spoken as the
blow was given. On reaching home
Mrs. Ludlow, fearing that she had done
an unwise thing, wrote to the postmaster,
asking that repairs be made and that
the bill be forwarded to her. This was
not answered, and on Monday forenoon
she sought out Postmaster Carney and
gave her version of the affair. Judge
Carney explained the serious nature of the
ofense, but good naturedly allowed for
the circumstances, and said that he
would permit the occurrence to pass un-
noticed.-Waukesha Cor. Milwaukee

The Neglige Shirt.

Now is the time to formulate a plan Of
campaign in regard to wearing the
neglige shirt by business men during
business hours in the city. During the
winter there are large number of men
who bravely declare that they will wear
the aforesaid shirt next season in spite
of all possible sneers and criticisms. But
when summer comes it is found that they
invariably weaken; and they stick to the
old regular edition Of "boiled" shirt. Dur
ing the last winter the movement in ia
vor Of the neglige shirt is said to have
grown in strength and it is believed that
the coming summer will witness its tri-
umph. But this is little doubtful.
What is needed is for the neglige shirt
diciples to get together. Organization
always leads to victory in p,ilitics. Why
should it not lead to victory in this holy
crusader Let the neglige shirt party take
the hint.-New York Tribune. =,

CuDsiEed ON Horsebaek.


Horseback riding is indulged In quite
generally about Washington by both Ia
dies and gentlemen this spring, and
among them are quite number of nov
ices At present there is at least one
young lady in town who is busily en-
gagged in regretting that she ever at
tempted to learn the equestrian, sport.
Incidentally it may be remarked that
there is also certain young man not a
thousand miles from the city who wishes
that he had not been so previous in TAX
ing his best girl out for ride in the
country until he knew more about her
ability to manage horse. Both have
tried to hush the matter up, but the
story has leaked out. nv l....ss. p d,
The above mentioned young man, who
is quite well known in society, took this
young lady out for ride one morning
As is frequently the case with those bent
upon this sort Of pleasure, they chose to
60 up in the neighborhood of Pierce's
mill An went well until they reached
point above the mill where the road
crosses Rock creek. The bridge at
this place was washed out year ago
and has never been replaced. There
was plenty of evidence that other people
on horseback were In the habit Of ford
ing the stream just above where the
bridge had stood The young man,
therefore, put his horse through the
creek and found no difficulty in so doing,
His companion, seeing that all was
well, reined her horse into the water and
passed the first half of the ford safely
enough. But she allowed the animal to
60 little below the regular ford. The
horse struck deeper water, and persisted
in going further down the stream. Then
suddenly, without warning, the beast
either stumbled or deliberately rolled
over, and the fair rider was spilled head
long into the water. Luckily she went
over on the left side, so that she had nc
difficulty in disengaging her foot from
the stirrup; but the swiftness Of thu
current was such that before she coulG
recover it had rolled her over two OF
three times down the stream. The young
man gallantly came to the rescue of hi
companion before anything more serious
than complete drenching had hap
pened, but it may be safely assumed
that all equestrian exhibitions by thi
couple hereafter will not be Of tn,
aquatic order, but will be confined
strictly to land.-Washington Post.

Idle banana Pickers.

A general strike Of plantation hands
for shorter hours and better pay is now
in progress in Jamaica, and the result is
to increase the price of bananas. The
doctrines of the eight hour movement
have been disseminated among the ne
groes and other laborers on the banana
farms in the island of Jamaica with dis
astrous results to the planters who de-
pend upon their banana crop. The la
borers, pickers, etc., have been working
long hours for starvation wages, and not
being able to stand it longer they re-
volted, nearly 5000 men and women be-
ing out, and all work in this industry is
at a standStil. ..... ..
On the inland plantations in Jamaica
thousands of punches of bananas are
ripening on the trees, which spoils them
for market, or rotting in great heaps on
the ground. This has caused compare
tive scarcity of bananas, and the price
has therefore gone up. In 1870 any old
tub of schooner was considered good
enough for the banana trade. Now there
is fleet of sixty steamers, built for this
particular trade, which carry from 2,7O0
to 5000 punches of bananas trip to
New York and return for more in bal
last, without waiting to ship return
cargo. The entire feet of steamers sails
under the Norwegian flag, although
owned in this country. The Norwegian
flag was selected because it is believed
that in case of European war Norway
would remain neutral. l.-Detroit News.

Standard Time Better Than Local.

Many people find it difficult to be al
ways just on time, and to keep up with
two times is more than can be expected
of anybody. Consequently it is not sur
prising that Bath people are getting
mixed up. Sunday part OF the church
bells rang on local time and part on
standard, and it was uncertain whether
one would have to wait a half hour or be
late. People are getting more and more
disgusted at the present condition Of
things every day, and there are serious
threats of putting another clock on the
court house that shall register United
States time. A community that wants
time exclusively its own should first
make provisions for suspension of COM
munication with the rest Of the world

Catching a Loon with Hook and Line.

Catching a Loon with Hook and Line.
Alfred Hills, one of the brothers who
run the famous Hills Homestead at
Savin Rock, narrowly escaped being still
more famous day or two ago. Here's
the story as Mr.. Hills tells it: He was
fishing for flatfish off the Savin Rock
shore when he was surprised to hear
blood curdhng screeches and to feel
big thing on his line. A loon, or great
northern diver, had picked up the bait
and was fast on the hook. Mr.. Hills got
lust as much excited as was the loon,
and battle royal followed. The fisher
man played his catch until his boat had
travelled fully mile, and had his game
we'll in hand. He pulled in the line
slowly and had the bird close by the
boat when the loon made one last effort,
broke the line and escaped. To capture
a loon is big feat, but to catch one with
q hook and line is unprecedented. The
bird is very shy, and will dive so rapidly
that it will get under water between the
time of a flash of gun and the time the
bullet reaches the place where the loon
was.-New Haven Palladium.
