In these days of intercollegiate and

exigency; but the body can no more be
kept In this state continuously than the
mind can remain crammed with rules
Of grammar, dates and mathematical

Athletes, at least in the beginning of
their careers, are healthy, but that ID
not due to the training; 1t is because
only healthy boys and men go In for
athletics to the degree that calls for
actual training.
The danger that besets one who has

during three or four years of his col

then the danger OF permanent heart
weakness is imminent.
1t is well known that many men who
die suddenly, or who live with crippled
hearts, were in early life noted athletes,
and their ruin has come from a sudden
change to a sedentary mode of life.
On the other hand, there are many old
and middle-aged men In excellent

and other athletic sports In their youth.

An Old-Time School.

The New England Primer remains
the monument of the New England
school of long ago. Ii was one of the
quaintest centers of learning magma
BILE. Here Is an account of classroom
of seventy years ago taken from among
the recollections of New England
lady Mrs. Frances A. Breckenridge.
The third class having had their spell
ing lessons in words of two syllables,
the little ones were called up to learn
their "a b c's.p The unlucky infants
were kept to their duty by gentle raps

knife used as pointer, and always
kept in readiness for the exigencles Of
pen-mending.
A dozen or two of mere babies were
thus guided along the row of twenty
six letters, while the lesson was occa-
sionally broken by such requests as,
please to g'wout to get er drink er
waterm las IL here were "A choice OF
drinksD and please to mend my pen"
The statement Rat they are a-crowd-
in on me" and an occasional howl from
some oyertlred little mortal on the front
bench gave variety to the exercises.
1t would now be time for the second
class to read and spell. A whirl of feet
and petticoats landed two rows of boys
and girls standing on the floor, facing
the teacher who gave the order, Man
ners." and the jerking of necks and tho
bobblng of skirts gave evidence tba

eRRArlo RIVERS TROUBLESOME.
Inconvenience Caused by the Shifting

of Their Courses.
During the construction Of the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway IN
1SSO-S4 the constant changing OF the
course of the Rio Grande caused tho
company great trouble and expense.
The lodging Of large cottonwood tree
on a sandbar has been the means OF
turning the river miles and miles out
of its channel. The town Of Los Lunes,
the county seat of Valencia County,
New Mexico, had for many years en-
deavored TO bridge the river 80 as TO
facilitate travel between the town and
Fort Stanton and the panhandle eoun-
try. AS It was, travel often had to De
suspended for months during hlgn
water. After deal of skirmishing and
engineering for funds contract was
let during low water TO one OF the rail-
road contractors TO build a bridge,
which work was accomplished with q
pile driver and crew that had been az
work on the railroad. The town had q
grand celebration on the day the bridge
was opened for travel with music, fire.
works and public speeches, winding up
with banquet in the evening. But,
sad to relate, at the first heavy June
freshet the river began to cut up It's old
capers, and one night wound up by
changing its course to the far side OF
the valley, at least four miles away.
and leaving Los Lunes and its bridge
stranded high and dry. The town
council held heated discussions for two
years on the question whether to re-
move the bridge or attempt to turn the
river back into its old channel. An at
tempt was made finally to turn the
stream.
The Rio Colorado. between Arizona
and California, Is even a worse stream
for changing its course. During the
freshets in June, July and August the
Colorado was navigated In the early
days by a stern-wheeler from Yuma to
the mouth of the Grand canyon. To
ward the end of the high water an
army paymaster and his escort under
took one year to make the trip from
Yuma to Fort Mohave. The water was
falling quite rapidly, and they had
many days and nights of worry and toll
In getting over sandbars. Finally they
stuck fast, and the efforts of soldiers
and boatmen could not release the boat.
Night coming on, worn out and weary,
they decided to rest until morning
and take new start. They awoke
In the morning on what resem-
bled part of a dry, sandy Col
orado desert. Not a drop of water
was in sight, and, after exploring for
several hours, they found the river sew
eral miles away, meandering along as
peacefully as If nothing out of the usual
had happened. 1t is needless to say
they finished their journey by wagon
train and mule power. In some future
age a remarkable discovery may be
made of a river steamer buried In the
sand miles and miles from water.-New

surround the bottles, and little ma

attract the passersby. Certain shops
are known for their specialties in GER

about which Turks are very particular
and can tell at once from which of the
many springs near the capital it comes.
The streets swarm with itinerant sell

keeping the water cold. Some have a
