Our "Peeracc."

The fashionable, in America do not
seem to be making deep impression
upon their countrymcn. This is much
to bc regretted, says tho Saturday
Evening Herald, as several very we'll
dressed people have asserted more than
once that an aristocracy is indispens-
able to high state of civilization; and
when statement of this kind is made
by person who has attained prom
inencc In fashionable society life wants
to believe it if 1t is possible thing.
Fashionable people. are better dressed
than tho literary or scientific classes,
and their uttcranccs should have
weight, but the ridiculc which has SO
relcntlcssly attached itself to them in
their diminutivc past shows healthy
signs of maintaining its grip for an in
definite period to come. Once in awhile
some sobcr-minded person discusses Sc
riously upon them and prevents our
forgetting what solid modification
they arc to tho better class of Amer
leans.

Tho Work OF Art to 10 Presented to New
York by Its italian Cltizens.
1t is said that call things come to
those who wait" That saying, if true,
is very comforting. Perhaps, if we
wait long enough, We shall see New
York a model city in all respects, with
clean streets, perfect buildings, lovely
public gardens, and statue or
fountain in every public square. We
have number of statues now which
are moro or less monstrosities in their
way. Then there are some fine ones,
notably the one of La Fayette in Union
square, which was presented to our
city by the countrymen of the great
soldier and patriot whom the statue
represents. We will soon be indebted
to the Italians living in this city, says
New York Truth; for the finest monu-
ment yet erected here. This will be q
statue of Columbus. The movement to
erect monument to Christopher Co.
lumbus in New York was started by
Chcvalior Carlo Barsotti, editor and
proprietor of II Progrcsso Italo-Americo,
of this city, and through his efforts
about 100000 have been raised toward
the necessary fund. So great has been
the interest taken in the movement, not
only in this country but abroad, that
the list of subscribers contains the
names of many of the leading men of
Italy, among whom are ministers of
state, diplomats, professors and jour
nalists, ex-Premier Crispi being sub
scriber to large amount. The monu-
ment is to be the work of Gactano
Russo, of NIessina (Sicily,) he being
selected by royal commission mp
pointed for that express purpose, com
posed of the leading artists and sculp-
tors of Italy.
The complete height of the monu-
ment will be sevcnty-five feet. The
statue of Columbus, which will sur
mount the shaft, will be twelve and
onc-fourth feet high, cut from the finest
Carara marble. The pedestal will be
very ornate; on one side there is to be
figure nine and half feet in height
of Carara marble, representing the
''genius Of geography" in the act of
tracing on globe the position of
America. On the reverse side will be q

Pussy Mon,

Men are often moro fussy and par
ticular about insignificant things than
women. There are thousands of mon
in New York who go miles out of their
way to get shaved. know men, says
writer in the New York Herald, who
come down on tho elevated, and who
get off at some intermediate point to
patronizo n favorito barber. They have
done SO for years. The array of private
cups in any shop illustrates the
strength of this shaving habit. Whom n
busy business man will sit half an hour in
one of these shops and tumble the flash
papers while he waits for his particular
tonsorial artist to be Mt liberty, it
strengthens tho conviction that no is
weaker than woman. Tho man who
doesn't learn to shave himself while his
beard is young is laying up IL life of
slavery to public BARRIERS. In the course
of IN: ordinarily long lifetime he will
spend about three years sitting around
barber shop and a year or two more
going and coming.

a Littio Abscnt-Arinded.

An elderly lady, accompanied by q
young woman, apparently her daugh-
ter, who was seated in one of the cross
seats of Sixth avenue 81" train one
afternoon suddenly became very nerv-
GUS, says the New York Telegram. After
afcw minutes of fidgcting she whispered
liz the young woman's car and both
looked upon the floor as if searching for
something. Finally the young lady
prose and spoke to the guard. He re-
turned with her and they raised the
seats and looked underneath, but with
no apparent success. A gentleman in
quired the cause of the ladies' search.
i've lost my poclSctbook, containing
quito large sum of money" said the
elderly lady. "Why, my dear madam,
you have n poclletbools in your left
hand, and it has been there ever since
you entered the car" he replied. The
look he received would have crushed an
ordinary man. She thanked him stiffly
and settled down to a period of deep
thought.

attended athletic games for years, and
men who have competed in field sports,
display surprising ignorance of what is
a fair style of going. have heard
loud praises for men who were going
with knees bent, in style suggestive
of hurdle racing, and 1 have seen fair
walkers laughed at by the wiseacres.
The true method of walking fair as
well as fast cannot be told in type The
novice must learn by watching expert
enced men. Only by example can the
style be acquired. The accompanying
cuts, however, give good representa-
tions of various gaits. No. shows Ii

that the right heel is on the ground Mt
the same time as the toes of the left
foot. The knees are Strengthened out
and there is an almost imperceptible
sinking Of the left hip. This is due to
the hip acting as pivot from which
the leg swings. 1t is true stride. No.

attention to it. The growls and whines
grew fierce and louder, but he lay
quiet, trying to go asleep. The ami
NAL ran around tho walls, scratching
and yelling in way to make one feel
very uncomfortable and mako such O
thing as sleep impossible. 1t was q

the beast was not going to be quiet and
let him rest, so he got up and opened
the door and let it out Then he Law

Fair striding Compared with Some Unfair
Methods of Getting Over the
Ground-Good Judges of

There is no branch of athletics in
which eminence is SO difficult to attain
as In the heel-and-toe walking. A man,
to excel at this game, says the New
York Recorder, must be remarkably
strong in legs, loins, back and lungs,
and he must be as game as the tradi-
tional pebble. He must practice long
and steadily to master Il style suited to
his physique, and even when that IL ac-
complished his gain in speed is remark
ably slow. A natural sprint runner
will, with practice, get to the limit
of his speed in one season under adj
vantageous circumstances, while under
the same conditions walkers speed
increases by Il very small ratio. This
is due to many causes chiefly, however,

Something About tho People and Climate
OF tho Country. J
We could not get along without the
Indians, says n Guatemala planter.
They do all tho work commonly ex-
pectcd of peasants. They raise wheat,
coffee, rice, and, in short, do the hus-
bandry. The country would fall fat
without them. They make excellent
hands on tho plantation. 1 have be-
tween ono thousand five hundred and
two thousand of them on my estates,
and l find that they IRE far more man.
agcablc than the whites, more docile.
When l first began hiring them they
would work for eighteen cents Cay,
but now there has been Il stronger de-
mand for them and they arc getting
thirty-sevcn cents. These Indians seem
to hold their own pretty well and arc
not dying out as in this country. Be-
sides the Indians, there is n race of
half-brceds who are rather more in
clincd to commerce. Tho climate of
Guatemala is far better than most peo-
pie imagine. On tho coast and in the
lowlands it is hot and full OF fever. NV
estates lie on the slope three thousand
feet above the sea level, and the table
lands where tho wheat is grown lie
from five thousand to ten thousand feet
above the level. At my place the
climate is delightful perpetual spring.
We can raise two crops of wheat O
year in many parts of Guatemala, and
the soil is wonderfully rich. The prin-
cipnl exports arc coffee and sugar, but
excellent rice is grown there, mostly
for homo consumption. A curious
thing about the rico is that it can be
grown without flooding or irrigation.
In other parts of the world one of these
two processes is necessary. But have
planted it on hillside and it bears fine,
full grains, equal to the best from the

On account of the sentiments sur
rounding it, if for no other reason, this

portant if not always duly credited
portion of the labor of opening up our
new western country, both on the great
plains and in the mountain regions. In
recent description of tho building Of
the. Pixies Peak railroad, in the Scion
tific American, it was stated that "all
provisions, tools and camping outfits
were transported by trail to the various
camps along the line on the backs of
mules and burros," but, in addition to
this general credit, we now present o
view, from photograph, of one of the
animals SO employed. Odd as the view
