HOT TAMALES!
ARE SOME OF THE MEMBERS OF
THE CENTRAL CLUB.
Rival Club Members Run in, At
tempt to Run Their Affairs
And Are Thrown Down
Stairs.

The Central Political and Labor
club, numbering about l2O men,
bers, Americans and MeXicans,
held a rousing meeting at Conven-
ton hall last night and admitted
about 80 new members. A keg OF
beer was on hand and rousing
speeches were made by several
good speakers in both the
English and Spanish language.
The deliberations of the club are
conducted in both languages, each
action Of the meeting being trans
lated from one to the other tongue.
A committee was appointed to
wait upon the many supposed po-
litical candidates with a view
OF learning their standing on the
labor question and if they will
pledge themselves to secure work
for the laboring men of the club.
The club transacted large
amount of other business and then
decided on password for the
next meeting.
During the evening small
mum Der of Mexicans, about nine Of
them, said to be members OF the
Club Nacional, came up stairs and
took seats in the hall. AS the de-
alterations of the club are in secret,
they were asked if they were
members, and on giving negative
reply, were asked if they wanted
to join. They said no and
then were asked to get out.
This they refused to do and
one of them, regarded as their
spokesman, was then thrown down
stairs by two of the sergeants-at-
arms. A Mexican friend Of his,
who also assisted him in very
thoroughly cursing the members
and sergeants-at-arms Of the Cen
trail club, came up to object and
expostulate at this part of the pro-
ceedings, and he was struck
with some brawny fist, which
sent him tumbling half way
down the stairs. The elected mems
friends followed them down and it
looked for time as if more serious
trouble might be looked for, but
the timely arrival of police officer
quelled all further disturbance.
"A fishing party, composed Of

Keeping Accounts.

To lot down every night the amount
spent during the day, setting every
item IN order, and footing up the sum
total, IS to check ones natural ten
dency to extravaganza and to promote
accuracy.
1t is astonishing how rapidly money
disappears when one keeps no account
Of it. This little bit and that, these
nickels spent for car fare, that sum
which went for bonbons, the other for
soda water, the third for the trif1e to be
worn at the neck. or the pin or clasp
which might have been done without,
and, 10 ones purse is empty. Some
girls always have money, and others
never have it, yet the allowance from
which they draw is in all cases quite lib
eral. The difference arises from the
way they spend. Those who keep &C
counts, and who buy only what they
want are in much pleasanter position
financially than those who are caught
by every pretty thing offered on the
bargain counter, and who do not count
the cost till their money is all gone.
Most dairies have place IN which the
memoranda of expenditure can be
readily kept, there being ruled columns
with dates for every day In the year,
and little pencil attached to the book,
SO that the minimum Of trouble is given
to the accountant. The habit. once
formed, is SO satisfactory that few are
willing to abandon it when its convent
ence has been learned.--HarDer' Bdzdr.

PIPE-SMoKING POPULAR.
Americans Use the Brierwoods Because the
Englishmen Set the Pattern.

Pipe smoking is annually becoming
more popular in the United States In
past times pipes were relegated to the
alleged lowe classes. Of late years,
however, and particularly since the
craze for everything English, you
know" came in, pipe smoking has in
creased. 1t is now considered quite
too awfully swell to drop from tan
dem dogcart with the stem of short
root pipe tightly clinched between
your teeth.
1t is a sort of finishing touch to your
rough and ready fishing costume to
have stubby pipe in your mouth and
gives a delightful sense of easy,
graceful negligent sweetness. Just as
soon as the approval of society alighted
upon the custom of pipe smoking pipes
became much in demand, and the cost
of the same increased proportionatelv
especially for the strictly English
shapes. 1t is amusing to see a fellow
pretending to be a judge of a pipe.
The fact is that nearly all pipes smoke
pretty much the same.
The cheaper pipe smokes better than
the more expensive ones as a general
thing. For instance, a corncob pipe is
one Of the coolest, sweetest smokes
you can get. Next comes the penny
clay pipe. If you will smoke a clay
pipe a few times and throw it away.
you will always be sure that you are
enjoying pipe smoking of the most
enjoyable character. The tendency of
the average human is to buy an ex-
pensive pipe and then color it by blow
ing smoke against the bowl.
This practice renders the pipe orna-
mental, but as a general thing these
highly colored pipes are very strong,
and it is anything but pleasant for
persons averse to tobacco to be in the
same room with them. The English
smoke pipes because pipe smoking is
cheaper than cigar smoking. Ameri-
cans smoke pipes because the English
smoke pipes.
The only man who can properly I'M
derstand pipe is the plantation
darby, who puts live coal on top of
pipe filled with plug tobacco and puffs
gently at the ''turrer end'' Of a reed
stem while the purple night shadows
gather around the cabin and the
screech owl scares itself and the
neighborhood with it's laughter.-Cin-

Burdette Discusses Life as He Found il in
the Coach.
Everyone has observed the easy
facility with which some people can
accomplish the apparently delicate
ceremony of the introduction Of two
strangers to each other by a third
stranger, writes r J ert j. Burdette, in
Ladies' Home journal. This social
pheno nenon is Otter It seen in public
places Oh public conveyances.
| was recently making a journey
across a small portion of this planet,
sitting a one by the car window and
hoping that nobody had taken the
upper fat in my compartment, when a
man whose freshness chilled me seated
himself opposite me, threw his feet
airily upon the seat beside me. saying
in loud tone and with extravaganza
hospitality, make yourself at home!
He explained to me, as | received his
advances with somewhat cold respect,
that young lady of forty-eight
summers was occupying the lower
floor of his section, and had appropl-
ated his seat for her baggage-room,
while at the same time she had trans
formed the entire premises into cold
storage apartment. The man said that
he had sat amidst her baggage until
the cold chillS began to run up and
Qown his back and he had no doubt he
was even now on the direct road to an
attack of pneumonia. lie then went
on to inform me III that easy, contden-
tial, autobiographical tune that he
live in Kolusa, Upton county, when he
was at home; he had been married
twice and had five children-all born
to him by his first wife. Three
boys" he said, and remained for q
moment in silence, when he suddenly
looked up and added, land two girls. .
You cannot imagine what 4 load was
lifted off my mind when | learned
what those remaining children were.
You see, he hadn't told me, and L felt
delicate about asking. The man
noted the look of interest on my face
and went on with his narrative. His
first wife was a woman of very deS-
pendent temperament; as good woman
he said, as ever lived, but was always
afraid something was going to happen;
always worried about the chlldreA or
something. She was good mother to
her children, too; but, then, she was
never weIl-aIways sick with a kind OF
complaint. This, the man said, made
it almighty hard for him.
He sighed SO deeply at the remem-
brance of the nara lines Though
which he had passed that l sympa-
thiZed with him and asked him If Cnis
continued illness seen I'll to effect his
wife any.
ooh, no" he said; not SO much as it
did him: she appeared to get SORT OF
used to 1t.

POSTAL CARDS OF THE WORLD.
Eight Thousand Different Kinds Issued
Since the Scheme Started

Eight Thousand Different Kinds Issued
Since the Scheme Started.
1t is almost incredible that there
should be 5000 varieties of postal
cards, but that is the extent claimed
for the Watson collection. These,
however. include various issues of the
same nation and denomination, and
also cards issued for special occasions,
Postal cards have been in circulation
twenty-four years, declares the col
lector The idea originated with
DIR. Emanuel Hermann, professor of
national economy at the Imperial
academy of Wiener in Neustadt, Lowe,
Austria.
His ideas, under the head of New
Means of Correspondence by Post,
were published and attracted the at
tention of the government officials.
The dlrectOr-general of posts took up
the idea and succeeded in having an
issue OF postal cards put in circulation
III 1869. The original name given to
them was the correspondent karte,
and this has been retained ever since.
This new move on the part of Austria
quickly excited other countries to
adopt a similar method of correspon-
dence, and before the close of 1870
nearly all the European countries
were using cards.
Germany was really the second
country to use them, and a special
series was issued to the soldiers en-
gagged in the Franco-German war.
These were called the field post COR
respondence cards and were sold I'M
stamped to the soldiers at the rate of
about five for a cent. The soldiers
had the privilege of using them with
out paying postage. Another series
was issued for civilians. These had
place left for the stamp, and the writer
had to affiX a German postage stamp
to the card before posting. The field
post cards are now rare, the used ones
being scarcer than the unused ones.
Another card of equal rarity and
also a reminder of the same war is the
balloon postal card issued by France
during the siege of Paris in balloons,
and the mail bags were thrown off
into the surrounding country where
there was the least possible oppor-
tunity of their capture by the enemy.
They were smaller than the postal
card now in use and were covered with
warlil1e expressions as Paris defies
the enemy GLORY and conquest
signify crimes; defeat signifies hate

one war is just and right-that for
independence"
The United States was rather back
ward in adopting the postal card sys-
tenn, and did not use them until 1878.
The first issue printed was of reddish
color, with the head of Liberty in the
right hand corner. AS a rule Uncle
Sans cards have been inferior to
those of other countries in excellence
of engraving. The designs also have
not been very artistic. The blue card,
bearing the portrait of General Grant,

SOCIAL SEASON Is HERE.

Now comes the social time of year
When the reception" cards appear.
The same old throngs of chattering folk,
The same old repartee and joke.
The men who fiirt and push and stare
At everything that's young and fair.
The dowager, sedate and wise,
The buds one fiutter of surprise.
The matrous thin and plump and stout,
Who cut unmarried women out,
And wear fortune large in gems,
Even to crowns and diademS.
The humble folk, who only stir
Well under protest, as it were,
And then, beneath the gasiight's blaze
Such anatomical displays!
Some white and firm as flesh can be,
And others really sights to see
The same old feast which beauty grabs,
The same old salads, deviled crabs,
oysters and curry, ices, creams.
The same old gastronomic dreams.
But, ali: the truth | must confess,
One cannot wear the same old dress!

Boston has proved to her satisfaction
that physical culture is a success in her
schools. A Swedish teacher who has
made herself acquainted with the mat
ter says there is no question that the
general health of the boys and girls was
markedly better at the end of the school
year Of 1898 than 1890 or 1891 She be-
lieves that the fifteen minute daily ex-
ercise has caused this improvement,
and predicts that time will show more
perfect physique, graceful bearing and
healthy carriage.
There is no doubt in the minds of
students of health upon this point. The
blood grows sluggish with sedentary
habits, and the brain does poorer work
for it. Start the circulation by active
respiration and muscular action, and
give the correct pose to the body,
whether walking or sitting, and the
child is sure to prove more robust and
more intelligent. Brooklyn has her
director of physical culture OF the public
schools, following Boston's system
closely, and it is hoped success will at
tend the new regime. -New York Times.

THE MEDICINAL VALUE OF WATER.

Changes in the Body.
The human body is constantly under
going tissue change. Worn out parti-
cles are cast aside and eliminated
from the system, while the new are
ever being formed from the inception
of life to its close.
Water has the power of increasing
these tissue changes, which multiply
the waste products, but at the same
same time they are renewed by it's
agency, giving rise TO increased appe-
Uite, which in turn provides fresh nu-
triment. Persons but little accus-
toned to drinking water are Liable to
have the waste product formed faster
than they are removed. Any obstruc-
ton of tie free wording OF natural
laws at once produces disease, when,
ii once tirmly seated, requires both
time and money to cure.

Help me to salt,
Help me to sorrow.

A second helping, however, is sup
posed to avert the il-luck on the
homeopathic principle that "like cures
like" For salt to fall toward a person
at table portends Tin the west Of Eng
land) coming dire disaster. The spill
ing of salt has for generations been
counted unlucky in many parts of Eng
land and Germany. A curious picture
OF medieval art on the subject of ''The
Last Supper" represents Judas Iscariot
oVerturnirg the salt-a dark foreshad-
owing of an awful doom.
In the Isle of Man there is a lingering
superstition that to carry salt in the
pocket is a help to good fortune, and to
exchange or accept salt is SO good an
omen that a beggar has been known to
decline food unless salt was added to
the gift.
Satan and the witches were believed
once on time to hate salt with an in
veterate hatred, and it was the custom
to torment the arch-fend by sprinkling
salt in coffin; and brewers drove away
the witch tribe by throwing a handful of
salt on the top Of the mash.
In the polite society of to-day salt is
metaphorically used as an aid to the
digestion of 'tall stories," particularly
those of travellers, which usually require
to be received cum grano salis.- Women.
