OF the explosion eliminated in the
death of the young fellow on Friday,
after month of horrible suffering.

found, to their surprise, that there

As to the ballet girl-the serious dancer,
trained up from her youth, and not those
who come on in serried ranks, with spears
and helmets in an amazonian march-it is
a curious thing that their two special mala-
dies are of the head and feet. The general
health of ballet girls in France is perfect,
splendid. wonderful. Their exercise keeps
them trained down to the fine freshness Of
a fighter. The first and special disease Of
ballet girls is shown in pains and numbness
of the feet. At the Grand Opera there are
two physicians regularly practicing behind
the scenes, for accidents from shifting
scenery, fainting fits, congestions and the
rest. Half of their time is spent in doing
for the corps de ballet. They seek by every
means to make the girls lay off whenever
these strange pains come to the feet The

MEXICAN CAVES AND MUMMIEs.
Underground Relies Of Former
Civilization In chihuahua
From the San Francisco Examiner.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
Moses Thatcher. the millionaire apostle
and financier of the Mormon Church whose
home is in Logan, Utah, is residing for
time at go Van Ness avenue. Mr.. Thatch-
er has been an apostle of the Mormon
Church since 1879, and his lite has been
devoted to the building up of the kingdom
of the latter days. He has spent many
years in exploring the vilds and beauty
lands of Mexico.
In the state of Chihuahua the Sierra Ma
DIRE mountains, Mr.. Thatcher states. held
for him the greatest attractions. West of
the Casas Grandes valley through which
flows the Piedras Verdes. a lovely river
which connects with the San Miguel in the
lower part of the valley and forms the
Casas Grandes river, there is an exceeding
ly beautiful expanse of country. 1t is in
terspersed with mountains OF moderate
size branch of the Sierra Madre range
and not far from where the celebrated Sa-
binal mines are located on the Co"raltos
ranch, one of the richest regions, pregnant
with gold and silver ore, awaiting the adj
vent of the prospector and ihe iron horse.
Many places | passed through" said the
apostle, strongly reminded me of the
placer ground in the Sierra Nevada noun
tains at the head of the American river.
The great similarity of the soil is most
pronounced, and all the Indications are
almost identical
THE Mormon colony was the FIRST to set
tie in the Sierra Madre range in this re-
gion. They camped right on the trail of
the dreaded ApacheS, and named one of
their settlements PachecO, after thc noted
general, who was secretary Of war. The
Mexicans were astounded at the holiness
of these pioneers, and considered annihist-
ton inevitable.
In q radius of 100 miles there is enough
masonry to build two cities the size Of san
Francisco, and this tells the tale OF great
civilization that once 1curishad there
purchased a sjtio, or a little aver 1 Ouo acres

! bought up an adjoining tract of $1,000
acres. On part of this land / discovered
| about half a dozen caves. The entrances
| were walled up with cement two and a
! half feet thick, with only post holes and q
narrow aperture left sufficiently wide 10
! allow one person to enter. These caves
were provided with oilas, in which water
| and provisions were stored, AMI were form
| ed of long sacatOn grass, mixed with CO.
| ment, and were usually about twelve feet
| high and eight or nine feet i'll width. One

| and one of them contained seventeen
! rooms Upon the walls are still fire. sh char

caves on the land referred to will accom-
modate fully 1850 persons, and ce!ebrat

The social difference of shoes is marked
so strictly in the army that men blind from
their birth can tell the crisp. free step of
some smart officer from the uncertain
clump-clump of the common marching SOL
der. The pantaloons of an infantry officer
of the line are fine darkish red, wide at
the waist and tapering sharply down be-
meath the knees; to be stuffed into boots
the finest and most elegant you could con-
ceive which have a special crinkle Just
above the inStep. not unlike the lower con-
tours of the Bohemian artist-poet's English
pants. Both are a relic from the times
when it was thought the height of grace for
mems pantaloons to bag around the hips
and tighten sharply at the instep-perhaps
as well to ward off feas, which swarm the
streets in summertime. But what seems
strange and almost hateful in the pants of
the Bohemian, because it is affected, looks
distinguished and decorous in the high boots
Of an officer. because it is a uniform and
must be worn by regulation.

When you see wooden shoes upon the
street, you need not look up. for you know
their owner is a laundress or a peasant
girl The common cabnen also wear these
wooden shoes, because they have no walk
ing and they keep their feet much warmer
In them than in leather. Laundresses con-
tinue wearing them because the floors of
the !avoirs, the public washing rooms main

because their parents did; because they
