Don't Walk Foo Far.

Few persons are aware that violent
pedestrian exercise, by generating more
carbonic acid than the lungs can con.
venicntly let off, fills the system with
poison and stifTcns the muscles. 1t is.
for this reason, very dangerous if the
heart is weak. The professional pedes-
trian is hardly ever 1.-the, whereas the
equestrian is graceful, because he takes
exercise without filling his blood with
the poison [ have just named, the i'm
mediate effect of which is shortness of
breath, sometimes with stitch in the
left side.
Cyclists make journeys of hundreds of
miles without getting used up. This is
because the lungs are not ovcrstrained as
in, say, long, quick walk or pedestrian
race. Alpine climbing is worse than
running. 1t has been noticed that AL
pine climbers, whose forbears we're not
time out of mind Switzers, begin to
break down after eight or nine seasons
OF mountaineering aud age prematurely.
am glad to know this, because l care
little for mountain scenery and feel as if
in Jail when Alp rises above Alp around
me. The strong sunlight from dawn 10
dusk and the simple and reposeful hori-
zon of the plain are far more congenial
to me than the patchy lights and chill
ingly dc ep shadows of mountains.
Ladies. it also occurs to me, may be
interested to know that muddy com
plexion is often a consequence of violent
clambcring of hills, the blood losing,
when overcharged with carbonic acid,
its ruddy glow, and the skin delicacy
in trying to aid in working of the poi
son. Soft, clear compilations are much
more common in trolling" countries
than in high lands. The Swedish wo.
men have in this respect greas advan.
tage over the Norwegian, and so far as
can judge from personal observation the
Ayrshire girls have more to be proud oil
than the Highland lasses.
Those who go in for pedestrianism
and lawn tennis should carefully drill
their breathing organs to keep their
good looks (when blessed with them) or
to improve their appearance when they
are not good looking. Spirits suffer
just as much as appearance from the self
poisoning process of which l have been
speaking. Have you ever noticed what
fearful dull and cross beings gentlemen
become after hard days deerstalking7

Divination by Sieve and Shears.

Divination by sieve aud shears is an
old English superstition, by whichit is
supposed the future may be told. The
method of practicing it is still sometimes
seen in country districts in England is as
follows: The sieve is balanced on the
widely separated points of the shears,
which in turn IRE upheld by the points
of the OWNERS fingers. The assistant
reads passage from the Bible, the book
being allowed to open of itself, and the
first passage on which the eye lights is
chosen for the purpose. If the passage
contains the words, "Aud it came to
pass" the sieve should, if the event is
actually to take place, spin rapidly around
on the points of the shears. In case.
however, the passage does not contain
the words desired, at the conclusion of
the reading, the Apostles Peter and Paul
are asked if the event will come to pass
or not, when the sieve is supposed to
respond according to the probable svent.
The dlvination itself is relic of medi 70.
val superstition, and was extensively
practiced for ages throughout Europe.

GOOD TASTE m aELEcr1Na coLons.

There ore great many women who
10 not understand tho proper use of color
IN their dress, They err either in one
extreme CT the other, and choose loud,
pronounced tints, or too monotonous
dress in Quaker drab or gray. AS a
matter of fact, these Quaker drabs or
grays are the most trying colors in the
world, especially for women in middle
age, who are most likely to select them.
A warm, dark shade is no more conspic-
uous, and is far more becoming to a
complexion that has been somewhat
faded by years. Rich, dark shades of
red and warm browns are far more likely
to be becoming than any cold colors.
Dark velvet is always becoming to a COM
plexion that has lost the first soft bloom
OF youth. There are some shades of
olive green which are also very desirable.
Black silk, which is so often chosen by
elderly women, is not likely to be be.
coming, but black velvet generally har-
monies well with the complexion of
middle age. Black satin, which il so
becoming to the young and fair, throws
q deadly paIlor over complexion which
already wants color, though this is modi.
lied sometimes by the color OF the hair.
Young and pretty women can easily
choose Themselves becoming gowns, but
they usually make mistake when they
use too brilliant colors. The girl with
rosy complexion and light hair can well
afford to wear Quaker gray. But the
majority of our American girls need
little color even in their youth. New

HINTS TO CARvERs.

II there is any roe part should be
placed on each plate.
A guest should say whether he pre-
fers the roast rare or well done.
A piece OF the back and under part of
salmon should go to each person.
Tongues must be cut very thin; the
central portions are the choicest.
The results are in ratio with the skill
used, not the force expended.
The head pieces of all fish are con-
sdered the most delicate and desirable.
A haunch of venison should be
carved in slices down to the bone, from

Great care must be exercised in the
carving of fish to keep the flakes from
falling to pieces.
Have plenty of room upon the platter

thin slices, portion of the upper part
and the tenderloin going on each plate.

A Mammoth Cave In Virginia.

A cave has been discovered about six
miles east of Harrisonburg, Va, near the
village of Keezletown. 1t has not been
fully explored yet, but it Is said to rival
the Luray Caverns in sz. and grottoes
and in beauty. 1t is situated on the
land of Augustin Armentrout and was
discovered while blasting for rock.
Twenty-four rooms have been found
without the aid of pick or shovel. Per-

EARLY ENGLISH CoIFFUREs.

The fashionable couture, when it is
aot French, is distinctly early English
IN type. The front of the hair is parted
md iluffed out on either side to look
very broad, the fringe, which is reduced
to few light curls on the forehead
being parted as well, and the whole mass
waved and twisted loosely in n coil at
the back of the neck. The much-talked-
of chignon is as yet harmless, undis-
figuring style, which it is to be hoped
will never attain its former undesirable
proportions.

large or small, should contain a swing
ing shelf stoutly held by supports at the
four corners, which are nailed to tho
floor joists above. This must be three
feet wide and eight feet long, but strong
ly fastened, as it will be generally
weighted down heavily with jars of fruit
aud other things that the housekeeper
will find it most convenient for. a very
good addition to this swinging shelf is a.
cupboard closed with u door, into which
can be put cans of preserved fruit and
those things which keep better in the
darkness. Besides this swinging shelf,
what might be called wine cupboard is
of the greatest convenience. This is.
a double swinging shelf. On one side

The auditors books were also found
correct with the exception of few errors
in addition which were corrected and
which the committee state occurred by
reason of the enormous amount of work
devolved on one man. The report of the
committee is accompanied by statements
showing the list of taxes from 1887 to
1892 inclusive.
The report calls attention to the injus-
tice of the present system, wherein
some of the counties pay up their
taxes and others pay only from one
fourth to two-thirds, thus compelling an
unequal distribution of the burden OF
taxes. Legislation is recommended
to pass law requiring all district attor-
news to proceed at once to collect the
amounts due the territory, within ninety
days of the passage of such an act. 1t is
also recommended that sufficient
amount be appropriated to cover the
deficiency due the assessors.
The committee has been unable to find
law authorizing mileage to collectors
when they make returns to the treasurer.
They find instances, amounting to ST.
253.33, of deductions from returns on ac-
count of mileage. This is contrary to
law, and the amount above should be re-
covered.
The expenditures on account of the
investigation of the shooting of Hon. j.
A. Ancheta were examined and found
correct
The report praises the system
attic style of Auditor Perez books and
recommends that he be furnished clerical
assistance; and that no one could posi-
bly, attend to business or do better than
he has done during his term of Office;
that he has paid out of his salary from
$40 to $50 per month for absolutely in
dispensable clerical help; and an appro-
priation refunding the full amount is
recommended.
This is Il most gratifying showing and
the New MEXICAN takes great pleasure in
commencing the fairness and ability
shown by the house Investigating COM
mittee consisting of Messrs. Hopewell,
Meyers and Read.
The report is the highest recommends
ton as to the honesty and efficiency of
the officials named and is proof positive
that Governor Prince made happy and
wise selection two years ago in the ap-
pointment of the Hon. Demetrio Perez as
auditor and Major R. j. Palen as treas
urer of New Mexico.
