STREETS OF NEW ORLEANS.
Odd Names Which Represent Good Deal
 of History.

Odd Names Which Represent a Good Deal
 Of History.
 "A good deal of out of tho way history has been crystallizcd into tho names of New Orleans streets, said the traveller. "He who runs may read in tho odd no- meuclaturo of tho Crescent City that its residents are not chips of old Plymouth rock Thcro is poetry as woll as history in the avenues which center on Canal street, but tho poetry is of another cline and tho history that of a strange people.
 T suppose that in New Orleans, us in other cities, the oldest streets are those named after trees and plants, but instead of running against the endless procession of Spruce, Mulberry, Cedar, Pine, Chestnut and Walnut streets you come upon such tropical streets as Magnolia, Laurel and Tehoupitoulas. You arc reminded that the gulf waters arc near and Mexico just out of reach.
 ''Thero is brave array of the saints in the street directory. That English Pres bytcrians were not the early settlers seems pretty clear when you walk Up St. Charles, St. Claude, St. Joseph, St. Peter or St. Andrew Felicity and Eiysian fields also indicate states of mind with which the Pilgrims were not ovcrlnuch in sym pathy
 ''New Orleans strcots are not quite with out ordinary American names. There are a few survivors, and In each case they have q sterling historical significance. Take Jackson, Camp, Magazine, Hospital, Custom House, Canal, Rampant, for in stance, and thrco or four epochs of proud history rise at a breath.
 an l,,,c nl. f1 cfi Gainty literary life on the lower Missis- sippi Tho school of creole writers, of which George w. Cablo is the leading ex poncnt, has had quite vogue. Fiction and poetry of moro than usual value ap pear in tho editions of several of the Now Orleans papers I wonder whether the strong representation from the uine muses in tho avenues of the city is part cause or sequence of this. Culliope, Euterpe, Clio and Melponeno seem like old friends when you see them bulletinod on tho corner lampposts, and you greet with real pleas urc your old classic flames, tho Dryades and that stnnch bard of antiquity, Homer.
 "Longfcllow bad something to say about tho poetry of the Philadelphia streets where he lays the concluding sccne of 'Eyangcline. But tho mellow Acadian words which flow along his hexameters live again in names of Now Orleans streets. Here is short list which sounds as if taken from tho directorial of Paris or Madrid: Carondclct, Esplanade Char tres, Dauphine, Loontine, Baronne, Poy- dras, Perdido, Ursulines, Dupre, Con stance Cont, Bicnvillo Bourbon, Ker- lereo, Prytania, Lapeyrouse Valmont Whatever oso they may be, they are scarcely English.

.eMen Who Love sport.r

Men who love sport will reap therefrom no small advantage, for they will gain bsdily health, better sight, better hearing and later old age. Above all, it is an ex- cellent training for war; In the first place, such men, If required to make a trying march on bad roads under arms, will not break down. They will stand the strain because they are accustomed to go a-hunting wild animals with arms in their hands. Secondly, they will be able to sleep on hard bed and keep good watch over the post intrusted to them.
 In an advance against an enemy they will be competent both to attack and to obey their orders. foS it is thus that wild animals are taken n they are in the van. they will stick to their posts, for they will have learned steadfastness, and in rout of the enemy they will be able, being used to such things, to press him over every kind of ground. If their own side be beaten, they will be able to save them

Teaching the Recruits How to Cut Ofr the
 Heads of Foemen.
 There Is ono drill practice by a cavalry troop at several frontier posts which is not only useful and instructive, but also decid. edly interesting to witness. Out on the prairie have bcen erected numerous posts the height of an ordinary Iaan from his feet to his shoulders. A humber of largo leathern balls, tho size of a mans head and filled with straw, aro placed on tho posts before drill commences Now the troopers are hauled up in line and each individual is set to work cutting off the various lcathcrn heads from the posts. When mans turn comes, he draws his saber, the command is given, and away ho goes at a mad dash down upon the enemy, cutting of tho first head with a down stroke, the next ono with n back sweep, anu the third is s!ashed on the crown or decapitatcd in some way.
 Of course it is ridiculous to sec tho TO. cruits first practice these maneuvers, but the rawboned fellow becomes m expert after awhile, and his laugh Is turned on others who succeed him as the butt of rid icule The drill also includes firing blank charges with revolver at tho heads, tho sharp concnssion of tie explosion general ly blowing the leather heads off if the aim chances 10 bo good ono.
 Tho bump of fun is an exceedingly largo one in tho average soldier of the line. Young men in the primo of manhood of fine physique and generally perfect in ev cry way look on tue term of enlistment as sort of task and propose to get as much amusement and fun out of the Gve years as possible Their devices and tricks for getting out of drill and other duties are of various descriptions. Whisky is the soldiers weakness Should post be l ,000 miles from civilization and stringent or dcrs bo in forco forbdding liquor on the reservation, with every possible means taken to prevent its introduction and use still the average soldier will in some way or other have his toddy in spite of every obstacle. Hos hound to get it in some way. The greatest trial of the officer of tho day is to keep whisky away from tho prisoners and out of the guardhouso, but it is impossible of accomplishment for they certainly get it in some manner and whenever they want it. Whisky has been discovered being smuggled inside of loaves of bread when food was brought to the prisoners. A sentry might fill tho barrel of his musket with liquor and walk his post smelling awfully liko rum, but never bo found out Prisoners returning from work under charge of the guard, carrying stable brooms over their shoulders hayo had flask or two concealed in the bulky part of tho broom and yet escaped dscov- cry. y.--New York Tribune.

In yesterdays paper there was
selection from a San Francisco
exchange, headed, "One on the
Editor" BY such an accident as
occasionally happens in a printing
office, the conclusion of the story
did not appear. To save reprint
ing the whole anecdote, it may
here be summarized. The editor
in question peremptorily ordered
the dismissal of his paper's cor
respondentot the town of Willows,
because he had omitted to send in
the account Of Il murder at Will
lows, which was duly reported in
the other papers of San Francisco.
When the Coast sub editor was at
length allowed to open his mouth
in explanation, he said the
delinquent correspondent had
failed to connect because he hap
poned to have been the man who
was murdered. Now, if our
readers do not laugh till they cry
over the humor of the story, they
may at least drop tear for the
memory of the murdered cores
pondent.

burdens borne by shipping in that
port, which exist in the form of
compulsory piIotage, State taxa

Made god deaI Of progress in
Industrial development within the

principal items to be cited in

Timely Topics

The able address by Mrs.
Sturtevant-Peet, president of
the California Woman'S
Christian Temperance Union,
on the occasion of the annual
convention of that body in San
Francisco, contained passage
which takes strong ground on
the benefits Of the bicycle. In
speaking of physical culture
and the relation of the clothes
to the subject, she said:
"All know the value of a
strong unhindered body. For
this reason the Punishment Of
. the corset and restricting bands
is a foregone conclusion.
Dress reform has pressed its
claims for forty years, with lit
tie progress till the bicycle,
that graceful, silent steed of
motion, daSheS through and
bursts open the door of preju-
dice. This mystic wheel that
we meet on every road and
street is the mite but telling
advocate Of dress reform.
/ It has its virtues as well as its
charms. 1t invites, yea, de-
mands, simplicity in dress. 1t
encourages physical exercise
and utterly refuses to carry a
drunken rider. Unlike the
horse, it baIkS when touched
by the hand OF iNcbrjtty. 1t
incOWcnienCaS and diycOur-
ages the use Of cigars and cigar
cites TO the number of $1,000,
900 a year. In short, the wheel
is a reiOrmer, and, though, it
came not through the virtue Of
moral conception, we should
welcome its presence as we do
the advent of every new in
vention and corporate ediCt
bearing the balm of Sobriety,
with the promise of stronger
and better men and women.
This is a straightforward eX-
preston from an able woman
who led the California forces
of one of the greatest National
organizations ever instituted
for the uplifting of the race.
The dignity and earnestneSs
which characterize her opinion
cast into the shades the halloW
objections which some phySi-
clans have made to the bicycle.
Mrs. Peet gives us to under
stand that in the sole aspect of
requiring women to dress SEN
Sibly this simple instrument of
locOmotion has accomplished
more at a dash than the preach
erS on sensible dress for Wo-
men have been able to bring
about in nearly half a century.
With so eminent an indorSe-
ment as this, even the most
timid woman who is not held
in what amounts to physical
restraint by father, husband or
brother from obeying an in
StinCtive impulse to dress ra-
tionally and enjoy life and
health on a bicycle, may at
least console herself with the
infection that her impulse was
right and lament that she was
born a few years too soon.
In addition to the above
Mrs. Peet might have mention
ed the saving in labor attained
by the patent Sprocket attach
ed to the TribunewheeI, which
amounts to over IS per cent,
no small deSideratum when
ladies are concerned.

undoubtedly suddenly deserted, as when
found it had the appearance of having been
left by the workers who dropped their
tools never to return.
On the ledge to-day are innumerable
marks showing how they cut out the great
bowls with their flint chip tools. There
were piles of broken bowls or ollas; others
whole and complete, heaps of refuse taken
from the pits, quantities of quartz and slate
knives which the workers used, broken and
thrown aside.
Here were made carvings-bits OF stone
carved with rude representations of whales,
seals and fish, rude boats, oval objects used
in games, and slabs that when heated were
placed upon the body as cure Tor various
troubles. But the finest objects were large
mortars of steatite, often three feet high, OF
elegant shapes, showing that the natives
had more than ordinary artistic taste. These
great stone vessels have been found all
over Southern California, from San Luis to
San Diego, and far up in the mountains;
yet all were made at this island quarry and
carried to the mainland in canoes several
hundred years ago where they were traded
for skins and various articles not to be OBJ
tanned on the islands.
1t is estimated that fifty tons of antiqui-
ties have been taken SO far from the island
of Santa Catalina from the twenty or more
townsites that have been located by col
lectors. Excavating is still carried on and
doubtless more interesting material will be
found. PIsCAToR.

at a figure equally as high.
