thus describes the making of the Mexican
tortila: ''The tortilla is typical Of old
Mexico ana is encountered wherever the
influence of the cactus republic has

of food among the ancient Aztecs at the

Shelled corn intended for this use is first
soaked over night in limewtaer until the
outer husk of the kernel Is loose enough to
be removed by being role between the

This is done by the Mexican women Of
the lower class, who, often work in the
doorways of their homes, bending over
the historic stone handmill called in Mex

In consequence of his high staudingas a
trustworthy and safe commander his yes-
sci, the Virginian, was chosen by the Gov

ago. Many notable men and their famili
were passengers on the VIrginian to and
from Havre. Commodore Stockton, who
waaone Of his'passengerJ presented Cap
tam Watson with valuable telescope,
which is still in possession OF the family.
captain Watson was close observer OF
the great Napoleon's s career, and his per-
sonal relations with residents OF Havre
and other French cities brought him In
touch with some of the events of that
stirring period in the history of Europe.
On one of his voyages Captain Watson ran
his vessel into the port of Liverpool just
after the news reached there of the battle
of Waterloo. In after years he was able
to recall great many interesting details
OF the Napoleonic period.
About fifty years ago Captain Watson
retlred from business and went with his
family to live on the ancestral estates in
Wesichester. Besides the property left
him by his father he inherited part of the
estate OF his grandfather. Captain Israel
Hunnywell of the Revolutionary army.
He retained ail of this property tor asso-
cations sake until a year or two ago,
when he was induced to sell about thirty
acres. The old navigator's life was
.singuarly tranquil and enjoyable for
the past two score of wears. He
made many friends. and he de-
lighted to entertain them. His mind
remained remarkably clear to the
last, and he kept himself thoroughly
informed on the affairs of the day. Al
though never seeking public preferment.
he always took the iiveliesr interest IN
politics and was always on the side of
honesty. conservatism and clean govern
ment. The old gentleman had a clear
recollection of the war of 1872. He was
one of the lads who helped to throw up
hreastworks to defend the city of New
York against the British, and he also saw
the British feet lying in Westchester
Creek.
Captain Watson leaves two unmarried
dau,h ,hters, Maria Hunnywell and Agnes
Arden Watson, both OF whom were with
him when he died. Funeral services will
be held tomorrow and the interment will
be in the family vault in the old St. Peters
Churchyard.

Interesting History of Usa III. Forester

In. his Personal Recollections OF the

China thirty years ago, General Edward
Forester, who commanded the imperial
forces, relates an interesting story OF the
capture OF Singpu. Chinese city in the

CAPTAIN JAMES WATSON.
An Old-Time Navigator's Remarkable
Career.

An Old-Time Navigator's Remarkable
Career.
An eventful and M ost interesting career
was closed by the death of Captain James
Watson, which occurred at his home in
the town of Westches,er, says the New
York Times. Although SO years old, he
retained his mental and physical vigor in
an extraordinary degree up to the day OF
his death. On Thursday evening he was
apparently in good health. Early the
next morning came a stroke of paralysis,
which proved fatal.
When 10 years old young Watson went
on his first voyage as cabin boy on the
Havre packet ship Courier. This was in
the spring of 1874 and ]. Fen i'm ore
Cooper and George w. Blunt, the latter
afterward noted as a photographer and
nautical publisher in this city. were cabin
bows on the same ship. Both Cooper and
Blunt retired from the me chant marine
service soon afterward, but Watson stuck
to it and worked himself up, step by stop,
to the rank of captain. He comm ande i
the packet ship Albany in 1882 and in 1887
was made captain of the fine new Havre
packet Vireinian. 1t has been often said
of Captain Watson that he was one OF the

for the tortila can be perfectly milled only
by their ancient methods, and when one
sees the result of the grinding he is ready
to admit that possibly they are right.
"As the moist windrews of the meal
roll off the grinding hoard it is caught in
basin, and is then all ready for being
formed into cakes for baking. When
ready to bake woman takes a small
lump of the heavy mixture and lays it in

other hand, she rolls it into ball, and be-
gins to quickly pat it into the required

Mr.. Forester has resided in Lansing
twenty-seven years. After leaving school
at Clayton, n. Y, he spent some time as
a clerk in New York City and at Hagers

he came to Lansing without a dollar, and
that he has acquired his present wealth in

ATHLETICS FOR WOMEN.
New Conditions Require Highe,

New Conditions Require Higher
Physical Development for the Sex.
Already there is talk of the organza-
tion of women's athletic clubs in some of
the large cities. This should cause no
surprise. says writer in the Woman's s
Home Companion. A higher physical de-
velopment for women is required by the
rapid advancement of the sex in those
pastimes cnd business pursuits formerly
monopoiized by men. Public sentiment
has undergone marked change in the
last few years, making it possible for
women to engage in athletics for the i'm
provement OF their physical we'll being
without exciting horrified comment from
those who nave q high regard for the pro-
prieties of life. 1t is no longer contended
by any considerable number of people
that in doing this she necessarily sacri-
fees the dignity and refinement belong
ing to an ideal American womarhood.
All modern arguments seem to be in
favor OF stronger and more rugged
physical development on the part OF the
weaker sex. 1t is the Kind of develop
ment that brings the strength necessary
TO sustain the burdens and trials of mater
nifty, the Obligations of wifehood, the
duties OF home-ma aking, the responsible
ties OF official trust and the exactlons OF
the various fields of usefulness that have
been opened TO women all over this coun-
try. There has been an evolution of the
popular conception cf the ideal woman.
She may represent the highest type of
womanly grace and refinement and still
poast of wel!-rrained muscles, steady
nerves. a heatthful digestion and a sound
organization. The woman who has been
taught 10 fiji only; he place OF the cling
ing vine" is untitled for the newer condi-
tions of life. She is unprepaied for any of
the many emergencies that may burden
