his far-famed exploration of the crater

Of the island during one of the long de-

escort of natives from the Archbishop NJ

can prelates, which he had secured before
leaving home) and, in company with his
friend. Baron Loe a relative of Meter.
Mich, penetrated the country to the as
phaltic lake in which the island volcano
is situated. Both gentlemen at first de.
scended together until they reached a
precipice overhanging the cavernous eulf

the whole party, insisted upon being lowa

WOMEN AND SPORT.

Just as there are periodical protests
against the attention paid to athletics at
schools, so people are found to take ex-
ception 10 the extent TO which women in
dulge in sport observes the London Fled
The real fault to be found is more with
the woman herself than with her love for
sport. If she can hunt shoot climb noun
tains and do various other things which.
as rule, women did not affect years
ago. without acquiring a slangy tone, it
is difficult TO understand why women who
live IN the country should not avail
themselves of the enjoyment of country
pursuits just as they mix in the social
functions of the London season, A
healthy, active woman living in a house
the stables of which are well tenanted,
and to which shooting is an adjunct
would not unreasonably feel dull on be-
ing left alone and having to confine her
self to constitutional on foot or a quiet
ride along the roads; but as there is a
limit TO the prominence given TO athletics.
and possibly TO sport, by men, so there is
a point beyond which it is eXpedent that
women should not go in the direction of
sport.
In the altered state of things. how
ever, there is no particular necessity TO
run counter to- the times. 1t must be
about forty years since four young ladies
living near Chiswick were accustomed to
disport themselves in four-oared boat
with a small brother TO act as cOXSwain,
and this simple amusement was consider
ed exceedingly fast at that time; now
ladies take part In regattas, steer racing
sailing boats, and. as in Miss Leales case,
compete at Bisley. all of which departures
would have shocked their great-grand-
mothers Nevertheless the sporting wo-
man is no creation of yesterday. Innum-
cradle instances could be given of women
hunting hawking and shooting with cro-s-
bows long enough ago, while Mrs. Thorn
ton was not above making her appearance
on the turf as a rider. The racing wo-
man. however. is admired by but a few
and we are glad to see that neither Lady
Greville nor Miss Slaughter admitted any
racing into their books. For various pa
pers and magazines, sundry ladies have
been interviewed and written about, their
portraits being given at the same time
This no doubt, gratifies personal vanity,
hut 1t is a curious coincidence that these
notices are almost exclusively confined to
hunting, driving and gofing ladies, while
archery one of the most enjoyable and
pre-eminently feminine amusements, is
seldom noticed, and seldom does a wo-
mans portrait appear because she is an
archer. Up to a certain point one need
not be averse to women joining in sport;
1t tends to give them health, to improve
their physique, and goes a long way
toward discouraging tight lacing and high

HE ASKED GENERAL
MILES FOR A LIGHT
AN INCIDENT DOWN AT TAMPA
a Private Soldiers Request Cheer
fully Complied With by the Com
mander of the Army.

A member of Gen. Miles staff tells of an
incident down at Tampa before the de-
parture of the troops for Santiago. The
general was standing in the office of the
Tampa Bay Hotel one evening. dressed in
plain business suit and smoking a cigar,
when a tall, raw-boned private from the
Fifth Maryland Regiment stroled up to
him and said
Say, partner, give us a light"
The man addressed put his hand in his
pocket. drew out a silver case, took a
match from II, struck fire and handed it
politely 10 the soldier, who thanked him
and lighted his cigar
The encounter was witnessed by the por-
ter of the hotel who watched his chance
and said to the soldier:
who was the man that gave you the
match?"
Il don't know, except that he is a gen.
tleman," returned the Maryland boy.
We'll. I'll tell you who he is said the
porter, and you won't feel so big when
you know. 1t was Gen. Miles.
The devil you say!" was the response,
as the soldier walked off in chagrin.
Awaiting his opportunity he stepped up
TO the general with a salute and said:
General, I have to apologize for what
may have seemed to you an impertnence,
but | had never seen you before and you
wore nothing TO indicate your rank, so /
took the liberty of addressing you l
would any stranger, and ! hope you will
excuse me for it"
Don't let that worry you" said Gen.
Miles; Il was a private soldier once my
self"

4 Hero of the Rear.

/ major Lagarde, the Army Surgeon at Siboney.)
Not every hero was out in front
/ Facing the battles deadly brunt;
| Not those alone who fought and fell
Loved and served their country well;
Heroes there were without saber or gun
Who many noble triumph won
Doing their work, with never a fear,
Mid the fever and wounds of the armys rear.
Back, in those deadly days in July,
Back TO Siboney, ready TO die,
With few to succor and few TO mourn,
Many Yankee lad was borne
Many lad, who at break-o'-day,
Eager and dauntless had met the fray.
Many form that rad faced the foe
Writhed and burned in the fever's throe-
Writhed and burned meath the fierce attack
Of the deadly tropical yellow jack
But one there was in that stricken place
Who met the danger face 10 face,
Thoughtless of self as valiant knight
Going forth TO the challenged fight
With the heart of pity, the soul of sense,
To heal and to conquer the pestilence.
Here is lad from Tennessee
Stricken TO death! close by, you
And southland mother is thinking tonight
Oh the perils her lad will meet in the fight;
And out on the cape Of the Old Bay State
Two eyes and q heart will watch and wait.
Over them both in the half-light there.
A form is bending with tender care
Rendinp and working his doctor plan
With the hands of a woman, the strength OF a
man
And never case too small or too hard
For the heart and the brain of Major Lagardel
Wherever the sick and the wounded lie
is the resting place Of that good gray eye:
And that round, full face, with its hope and
calm,
To the fever toss'd is a stay and balm.
Never bandage has been forgot
Never cry from the soldiers cot,
In the midnight hour or the blazing noon,
But Largarde is there with his saving boon!
"Raise him up, Chapman-yes cool his brow"
''Hold the arm, Johnson-be gentle, now''
''AIore antiseptics-I hope they've been sent
you'll find the lint down there in the tent
So his message ran, so he planned and worked,
And never an errand OF mercy shirkd:
So many heart that had braved the foe,
Had given and taken blow for blow,
Was succored and saved in Siboney town
BY modest hero in faded brown
BY modest hero, who knew not fear
While he served the flag in the armys rear!
John Jerome Rooney, in the Catholic World.
