 Mexican Herald: It is said on good authority that among the forty odd individuals arrested on Sunday night
 in the 4th street of La Paz, for taking part in an indecent ball, there were several youths of good families. The arrests were made at an advanced hour in the morning, after officers, who entered the place in disguise, had with sssed the proceedings. The governor of the district ordered the twenty-two participants, who had retained the apparel pertaining to their sex, to the barracks of the 24th battalion, where they were shaved and enlisted. The other nineteen are in the quartet of La Montada, and will also be consigned to military service. While the punishment is deemed a rigorous one oy some, it is undoubt- edly merited.

Anecdote Of Sims reeves.

An operate singer tells the following
little known anecdote relating to the
late Mr.. Sims Reeves: About the mid
die of the sixties, while the eminent
tenor was living in hotel of q town
on the south coast, he made wager
with another guest that he would black
his face, proceed to the beach and sing
a few of the songs which had made
him famous without recognition. Sims
Reeves duly disguised himself and rem
dered to sparse audience "Tom Bowl
ing,' my Pretty Jane" ETC.; but,
strange to say, he did not receive much
in the way Of appreciation or financial
tributes from the beach loungers. Hat
in hand the tenor approached an elder
ly gentleman who was standing apart
and requested trifing honorarium,
but the stranger had recognized the
great vocalist despite his ebon hued
skin, and he replied with decision:
"Not this time, Mr.. Sims Reeves! My
wife is mad about your performances,
and you have cost me many guinea.
You have just treated me to the luxury
of listening to you without any ruin
GUS expense being attached"
"Confound you," said Reeves, you
have made me lose my bet! Come to
my hotel and have a drink
The stranger accepted the hospitable
invitation.

The members of the Christian church |

John Appley one of the wards at the

AS we have announced before the
Columbian Club have again taken up
the lecture course and will push it to
finish. The ladies debated long
time this year before they took it up,
not because they did not think it a
success, but because some have been
uncharitable enough to think and say
that they Were doing it for mercenary
purposes. They have never cleared
any money on the deal nor do they ex-
pect to. If they can furnish the town
and country entertainment that is in
structive and at the same time enter
tanning, they are satisfied. The sea-
son ticket, they ask you to buy simply
guarantees to them the success of the
enterprise, so that man would be
sort of a mean fellow if he refuses and
can afford to go. His assurance that
he will stand by them simply means,
that he is bringing to many, who
would otherwise never hear good, an
opportunity they long to have and in
that sense he becomes philanthro-
pist. Their first number will be Liquid
Air and no one can afford to miss it.

Children should be taught to be reg
ular at their meals and to take nothing
between meals. This rule applies to
infants as well as to older children.
The practice of feeding the little one
every time it cries is a most serious in
Jury to its weak digestive organs. An
infants stomach. though it needs food
at more frequent intervals-two to four
hours, according to its age-requires
the same regularity which is essential
to the maintenance of healthy diges-
ton in older persons. The irregularity
usually practiced is undoubtedly one
of the greatest causes Of the fearful
mortality of infants from disorders Of
the digestive organs, as appears in our
mortunry reports.

tidious Epicurean. A course in con-
cordance with the nation it represents
will be served at each home. The trip
includes America, China, Java, Brit
ish Isles, Mexico, France and Italy.
Further particulars will be given in
