alism appealed very strongly to men

concerned, Sinaloa is a sort of paradise

Worthless Idle Rich.
n the Portland Oregon,an-

from the Portland OregOnian.
The melancholy thing about the idle rich
Is that they are prone to abuse their op-
portunity and their direct and indirect in
huence In gross acts of invasion Of pub
lie rights, which a poor man neither could
nor would attempt The consequence is
they increase the class hate between the
honest hardworking masses and the osten-
tatlous, extravagant, idle rich Those idle
rich are correctly estimated as utterly
worthless in brains and arrogantiy selfish in
character. Nobody finds any fault with a
rich mans indulgence In sport at the proper
time and place, but no man, rich or Door
has any business to indulge in reckless
sport in contempt of the general public
safety on the public highways. Further
more. no man, rich or poor, Is deserving of
any respect to whom sport is not simply
one of the desirable coincdents Of life but
stands for his whole existence. The arIs-
tocracy of England Is devoted to outdoor
sports at the proper season, but the leading
members of the aristocracy, from King Ed
ward down, are devoted to public duties
that stand for severe mental application
and drudging labor. The great captains OF
industry In this country are men to whom
sport is a mere incident Of life but the fool
sons and grandsons OF able men of wealth.
the idle spawn of the enterprising r-ch. are
the most odious. hateful people in America
Nobody Is really afraid Of them, for their
wealth In the last analysis lies at the mercy
Of the ballots of the masses whose public
rights they insult and abuse. What the
masses ask OF rich men are not public
The masses want no generosity; they only
want justice. They want their rights free
from invasion, which Is worth more to
them than many books.

the human system is capable of adjusting
Itself to untavorable conditions.
But while the Arab is immune from ty-
phold fever he is especially susceptible to
consumption. This fact is accounted for by
the reason that he has been accustomed 10
the very pure air of the mountains, and
when exposed to the climate of Europe he
quickly succumbs to consumption. He can
stand our drinking water, but he cannot
stand our climate.
The whole subject of national suscepti-
bility and unsusceptibility to disease is a
very interesting one. II may be, after all,
that our climate. which is so peculiarly
provocative Of catarrh,- will at last produce
race of people that will be practically i'm
mune from catarrh. We hope so, at least
Al present it is a national, disease, and near
ly every, one has it. -..
The very best authorities on chronic ca
tarrh state that there is such thing as
immunity from this disease. The cold bath
every morning gargling the throat with
cold water, splashing the neck and chest
with, cold yater-if this is practiced thor
oughly every morning 1T will practically
render any one immune from catarrh.
Padding the feet every evening in cold
water might also be added to this regimen
This practice hardens the nervous system
against the vicissitudes Of the weather, and
will soon produce a condition of the system
In which the subject need have no fear of
ca tarrh.

Is played in much the same way as foot
ball The field is divided up by white lines
after the manner of the gridiron, and the
object Of the players is to get the ball
through the enemy's goal. The same pen
alties are applied as in foot ball to any
failure in moving the ball a certain distance
in a certain time. AS can be readily under
stood, when the size and shape of the ball
are taken into consideration, the only
method of propellng it between the goal
posts is by constant showing in the course
Of which the leathern mass only leaves the
ground to roll ponderously over the pros
trate bodies of the players.
This has naturally produced a game in
which applying weight through the arms
and shoulders is of the highest Importance.
The great object is to prevent the attack
ing party from getting too much space on
the ball, for so large sphere when once in
fairly rapid motion is extremely difficult
to STOP and shows unruly inclination
rather to sIlrmount all obstacles than to
be diverted by them. In push ball neither
feet-footedness, proficiency, shrewdness
nor skill count for anything. They are all
lost in the wild fight for possession of the
greatest amount of space ON the surface Of
the ball, and the pushing and showing incl
dental to the activity of forcing the great
ball toward the enemy's goal line. The Of
fensive side fighting for one thing and those
on the defense fighting to prevent them
from accomplishing it, provides a scene Of
confusion that looks more like a crowd of
school boys tugging about a monster snow
ball than an athletic exhibition

Those Faded Roses.
From the London News.

Those who grow roses on any but the
smallest scale will do well now to jot down
a few notes as to the habits and charac-
tiers of their proteges. Certain sorts will
have shown their unfitness for this or that
part of the garden; the color of others will
have appealed particularly to the taste of
the owner. or for other reasons will have
established a right to consideration In any
change that may be contemplated for next
season. All flowers should be cut as soon
as their beauty Is past. and no effort should
be relaxed to keep aphides and mildew In
check. There is at present so much to be
done in the garden that these things are
apt to be postponed. but 1t will be found not
to pay to. neglect them.
