The Black Pearl.

The harbor of Acapulco is an ideal
one for shelter, and after the steamer
is once at anchor it is a source of mys-
terry to the passengers who have not
been on deck how she ever entered
the quiet little bay. The high, blue
mountains in the background, the tall
palms and tropical green down to the
waters edge, along the shore the tiled
and matched houses among the oldest
on the coast-and on the rising ground
to the right the ancient fort and mill
tary prison-aIl these make a sight
that fills lover of the picturesque
with enthusiasm.
The waters about the steamer are
thick with the boats and dugouts of
the bumboat, women and dirty native
boys peddling fruit, shells, pearls and
a world of indescribableS, all keeping
up constant din of jabbering jargon,
that, with the hundreds Of half naked
lighters, discharging cargo, makes an
exciting scene, IN sharp contrast to the
peaceful outlook on the shore beyond

THE SUMMER GIRL.

Balmy June and new-mown hay,
Golden noon of summers day;
Now at last in hand with thee,
Bondage past and fancy free.
At the fountain, on the lake,
In the mountain, DER the brake:
Through the dell, across the lea,
By the swell that rocks the sea.
To the river, where the rips
Clean and dance in silver drips;
To the farm house, seeking health
Beauty's charm and natures wealth
Ubiquitous and everywhere,
Laughing, hooking, free from care;
Pouting lips and teeth of pearl
Swarms the radiant Summer Girl,

baseball player failed of the football
team, although first-class player. be-
cause he Shirked his work. Of late
years training has become less rigid
in one way. The same amount of
work IS done, but more time is taken
in doing it. InceSSant, heart-breaking
exercise is q thing of the past Men

Before the new system came in it
was no uncommon thing for a fine
athlete TO come on the field and make
miserable failure when apparently
in prime condition. His muscles would
be firm, his health perfect, to all APP
pearanceS, and himself as sound as
a dollar, yet he would so to pieces
simply because the monotonous grind
of unremitted training had worn his
spirit and ambition away. and there
was no steam to propel the perfect
machine. Those were the days when
an athlete was always hungry and
always thirsty. Half-raw meat. bread
without butter and little fruit made
up the bulk of his diet, with a little
water at stated times to wash it down.
AS training then began only a few
weeks before the contest, it was found
necessary to plunge the unfortunate
candidate at once into the bonds of
rigid diet and exercise, with the re-
suit that large percentage were IN

More wise than his predecessor. by
whose errors he was profited, the
trainer of to-day deals more gently
with his charges. Consider the course
of the football candidates, who must
be in condition to stand punishment
more severe than is melted to a prize
fighter. They begin training in mid
summer shortly after commencement
time. Under the charge of their cap
tain they go to some place near salt
water where quarters have been ar
ranged for them, there to spend the
summer in exercise and light prac-
tice. Field practice in the game it
self is out of the question in the
summer months, as the heat would be
too much for the men. They run and
swim and tramp abroad over the
country, and toward evening they get
out and kick the football around, prac-
ticing the drop kick for goal and punt
ing for each other to catch. A dip
in the ocean followed by a hard rub
down finishes off the days work, eX-
cept for those who care to try a bout
at boxing or fencing.
