SENIOR MANUEL AzPIRoz.

He was counsel for Mexico in the
Joint claims commission which met in
Washington in 1872 and 1878, and was
Mexican consul at San Francisco from
1878 to 1875. He served in the wal

been of late Assistant Secretary oi
Foreign Relations in the Diaz Cabinet.
He is accounted one of the ablest law

There has been considerable gossip
in diplo matte circles in regard to a
general combination on the part OF
European diplomats in Washington
against members of the Diplomatic
Corps who represent Governments in
Central and south America. This is
not new feeling and has been mani.
tested before, especially by the Span
sh and Portuguese ministers. Other
diplomats from the European CONT

lion, and it has been announced that n
number of leading women in official

number from the Pam American re-

the invitation on account of the pres

The wings are SUPP or,ed by glass
pillars on a suitable base, on which
the sounder A is placed. The coherer
G is glass tube 2! inches in length
and 5-16 inch diameter, containing
suitable terminals connected to the
two wings, as shown. The coherer is
in series with the wings B B, the relay
ordinarily used, and the battery.
In practice the wave falls on G. the
relay closes the circuit of the sounder
A, and the coherer, being carried on
the movable arm of the sounder, is
brought down with the arm when the
circuit through the sounder is made.
In consequence of this, every move
ment of the sounder arm decoheres
the metallic filings, and there is
prompt and certain action in response
to every signal of the sender.
The construction of the coherer is
shown in detail in Fig. 2, and approx
imately full size. The terminals G G
are turned down to fit the interior OF
the tube G. The space between (about
inch) is half-filled with iron filings
or lathe-cuttings, sifted out through a
fine mesh. A hard rubber block E is
made with grooved edge to support G,
which is held in place by brass bands
d D; thin brass plate, suitably fast
ened to the hard-rubber piece E, and
projecting, provides means for fasten
ing by the screw F to the movable
arm of the sounder A. The best means
of doing this is to remove the screw
holding the armature Of the sounder and
clsmpsring by the screw F both arm
ature and the fastening plate at bot.
tom of E. The sender, in this ar.
rangement, consists Of the usual in
duction coil discharging into two
nickel balls of four inches diameter,
as shown in Fig. 8. 1t will be noted
from the sketch that there is triple
gap. At each side of the transmitter
knobs the gap of 1916 inch, and the
gap between knobs is 3-16 inch.
The arrangement shown has proven
all that can be wished for if one does
not desire the printing telegraph, as
provided for in some appliances.

A Circus Every Day.


Oh, what a circus circus life must be,
Parading every morning for admiring folks
to see!
Spangles, bangles everywhere,
Prancing, dancing ponies there,
Bands a playing "Boom-ba-chink!"
Folks hurrahing-only think
fits such a lark to see it,
What fun it must be to be it!
Oh, what n circus, to know that every day
You can be circus at the ladies' matinee,
Hanging by your toes and knees
On the flying, high trapeze,
Turning somersaults and things,
Riding round the triple rings
If it's such a treat to see it,
What fun it must be to be it.!
Oh, what circus circus life must be!
To have another circus in the evening after
tea,
Then to travel. oh. so far!
In the "sacred heifer's" car,
While the engine goes ''Whoot-choo.'
At the hop-toad kangaroo,
And the anthropoid grows frantic
At the ring-taifs newest antic.
Oh, what circus circus life-but say!
1t might not seem "a circus il we had it every
day.
Every morning a procession,
Every afternoon IA session,
Every night another show
And then have to travel so.
Oh, it may be fun to see it,
But think what a bore to be 1t.

Every woman who enters is care
fully examined in order to discover
just what form of exercise will be
most advantageous to her. In cases
where women or children are very del
icate, or have some decided physical
defect that needs rectifying, they ex-
ercise in the medical room of the
gymnasium under the personal super
vision of Miss Marion Foye Carter.
This is called corrective work, and is
intended to correct all physical imper
spine, cramped chests or weak necks
or backs. The gymnasium proper is
occupied during the day and evening
by girls and women training to i'm
prove their physical condition gener-
ally. Some come to reduce flesh,
others to reduce or develop various
parts of the body.
Nothing could be more applicable
or practical to the home gymnas.
than the hints on physical health and
training that DIR. Savage advances to
his normal classes, of which the fol-
lowing are few:
"The best time to exercise is be-
tween ten and twelve o'clock in the
forenoon and between four and six
o'clock in the afternoon. If exercis-
ing before breakfast makes you feel
faint or weak, then the early morning
is not the time for you to work
Sometimes glass of milk, a little oat-
meal or toast, will make early morn
ing exercise possible without injur-
ious effects. If you exercise at night
let your exercise be at least one-half
hour before bed time. 1t is best to
go to bed with the blood in its nor
NAL circulation sleep is easiest under
such conditions.
'"The minimum time for brain wor k
ers to exercise is two hours a week,
divided into four days in the week.
Their exercise should be before the
perspiration is reabsorbed by the
body. Do not lounge around until the
suit and the skin become dry again.
"For nervous temperaments slow
exercise is the best, while the rapid
exercise is recommended for the phleg-
matte. For women with disposition
toward melancholia light competitions
and outdoor games are the most bene-
/ fetal form of exercise.
Addressing his normal girls on the
subject of food DR.. Savage said.
"Never exercise just before or after
! meal. At least one-half hour should
be allowed before and two hours and q
half after eating. Masticate the food
thoroughly; do not hurry through your
meals, and eat rich foods with great
discretion. Drink plenty of water be-
tween meals, but avoid excessive
drinking at meals. One glass of water
should be sufficient. 1t is better to
use hot drinks at meal times, and do
not drink ice water at any time. A re-

woman can get any number of motions
and exercises. and she must decide
what is best and most necessary for
her.
Excessive exercise is injurious and
should be avoided. Excessive exercise
and no exercise at all produce similar
results. Stop exercising just before
nature calls out strongly against
further bodily activity. Just reach
the tired point and stop before ex-
haustion. No law can be laid down
as to how much exercise should be
taken at one time. Every individual
must be guide to herself. A woman
should exercise chiefly with light
weights and make quick movements,
and never, when out of training, try
the limit on her strength.

women in this country is under the

5 Rules 10 Be Observed in the Gymnasium :


Any ordinary room in which there
is good air and sunlight will answer
for a gymnasium; the larger the bet
ter. The beginner need have nothing
more than pair of dumbbells or a
pair of clubs, either of which she may
buy for 81. A bathing suit or BIZ
cycle suit, if loose and comfortable,
makes very good costume. A pair
of bloomers and blouse we'll cut is also
very practical. A pair of full-woven
black stocking and heelless slippers
are indispensable.
A long mirror in which the gymnast
can watch her own motions is a great
advantage to a home gymnasium, but
not essential. From book on exer-

Persona Non Grata to Austria Because

Manuel Azpiroz, the Ambassador
from Mexico, who has been merci-
lessly snubbed and cut by all the
members of the foreign diplomatic
corps, is personally one of the most
pleasant diplomats who have ever
come to Washington. Thirty years
ago Senor Azpiroz was judge advocate
Of the trial at which Macmillan, the
Austrian Archduke, who was pre-
tender to the Mexican throne, was
found guilty and who was afterward
shot. Austria has never forgotten the
offense and has evidently won over the
other Governments. This fact seems
to be the motive for the social boycott
against the Ambassador. Azpiroz is
an old hand in Mexican diplomacy.

and then took the lead in carrying out
tne plans. The men who composed
thelr bands were usually criminals
upon whose heads the state govern
ments had set good prices and they
were desperate in the extreme. But
they were never so fierce as to be the
superiors to their female captains.
Emma Hendrickson isn't pretty nor
accomplished, as accomplishments go
IN society. She was born on a cattle
ranch, has always lived on the plains
and knows nothing of the refinement
that characterizes the women of the
cities. She is an expert shot with Ell

levels a firearm at a man it means
death. Two weeks ago she shot and
