English and Spanish In Mexico.

1t is my observation that Americans
have not the lingual faculty. A Ger
man or Frenchman will pick up more
Spanish in Il month than an American
will in a year. | have met countrymen
Of mine who have lived most Of their
lives here without acquiring it, but |
have never come across a foreigner
who could not make a good showing in
q fortnight. Spanish, however, is a
beautiful language, musical and easy
to learn. Its construction is simple,
and, what is of no small moment to the
student, it is pronounced precisely as
written. An hour a day for six months
should give n fair command of it TO
any young person of average intelli-
gence.
The statesmen now directing the af-
fairs Of Mexico are alive to the impOr-
lance of languages. They have to deal
with a people who love their language
and are tenacious of custom. yet see
ing its Importance to the nations COM
merce, they have introduced the study
Of English into their schools. and Eng
lish is d~isplacing French as the fass-
ionable language at the capital.-McN-

A Hundred Miles an Hour by Flee
tric Car.

An electrical engineer has been eX-
hlbiting in London the model Of his
proposed single-rail electric line for
speeds of $50 miles an hour. The rail
is fixed on a N-shapod trestlc. and runs
up into the body of the car, which, as
1t were, runs astridc on it. The car
runs on twelve bearing wheels and
seats 135 passengers with space for
their baggage. One Of the difficulties
met with in schemes for excessive h %h-
speed travel is the tendency of the car
TO run off the track. BY running the
rail within the car the lateral tendency
OF the train is overcome. But in this
late scheme the great difficulty seems
TO be the passenger. What would hap
pen to the passenger when the train
took a sharp curve while going at 100
miles an hour is not explained.

ABOUT STAGE FALLS.

An English Actor Tells low En-
perts Make Them without Injury.
There are certain stage secrets
which the public are never allowed to
know said an actor lately. $50 jeal-
ously are these guarded that dramatic
tutors absolutely refuse to teach them
to their W pupils, unless such are
bona fide' members Of the theatrical
profession. Among these wrinkles are
the methods Of preventing conclusion
in stage falls.
The chief secret, quite unknown to
amateurs. lies in the trick known as
initiating /. e.. inhaling while falling,
Il deep inspiration of air, which cnor-
mouSly decreases the bOdy's weight.
Sarah Beinhardt, Sir Henry Irving
and Mr.. Beeerbohm Tree all initiate;
and no artist could otherwise fall
nightly for hundreds Of performances
without serious injury. So essential is
this imitation that in a forthcoming
drama. in which an actor has to fall
from Il house top to the solid stage
floor, he will wear under his costume
a complete suit Of rubber, inflated with
hydrogen gas, 4 cOntrivance recently
invented. e people, by the way,
are aware that hetr ere several London
actors who have actually had Opportu-
mites of studying falls from soldiers
shot through the heart or head upon
the battlefield. one is especially prom

the result of his observations in hot
action in the SOudan and Iululand.

acting as Il surgeon with II of the

TRUE ARR In FASHION

From mans point of view the lat
est fashions of the present period are
about as absurd as possible. True,
they are becoming, for rich and dainty
fabrics, II selected with any degree Of
taste, always look well on pretty
women. Dress forms a great part OF
what goes to make women beautiful
and many who shine as bellies would
doubtless be looked upon as very plain
If dressed in humble and unbecoming
garments. Ridiculous as some OF the
fashions are, the eye gets accustomed
TO them, and those women who do not
follow them look, even to tomascullne eyes.
to use a woman's expression, "dowdy.'
Yet. true art in fashion recognizes
great notifications OF existing styles
TO suit individual cases.
Some of the best-dressed women,
both in this country and Europe, are
renowned for a certain style of their
own They are never out of the fash
ion, yet, strange as it may seem, they
are never exactly in 1t. They either
fall short of what the man tailor de-
cides to be the correct thing or they
overdo it. These women understand
what may be called art in fashion
They make a study of it, and of course
succeed. But to our mind, general
idea of the prevailing fashions with
good taste in colors makes mosl
