Preside nt Diaz to Resign.
1t has just been announced that on
Jan. 4, 1908, Porfirio Diaz, "the Grand
Old Man" of Mexico, will resign the
presidency of that country to Jose
Yves Limantour. And thus will be
brought about the end of an admirable
public career which is the more in

has been so decidedly out of the

republics at least, and has for that
reason, if no other, aroused the ad-

The Foot and Mouth Disease.
D. E. Salmon, chief of the bureau of
animal industry, U. s. department of
agriculture, has issued the following
statement in regard to the foot and
mouth disease in this part of the
country: "The situation with refer
ence to the foot and mouth disease in
the New England states has been
somewhat improved during the past
week. The infected animals which
were shipped to Vermont have been
traced and 20 diseased herds in that
state have been located and pur-
chased for slaughter. These herds
were scattered over a district thirty
miles wide, and some of them con-
tanned very high-grade stock. The
321 head of cattle composing these
herds are now being Slaughtered, as
also the sheep and hogs on the same
farms. Two of these herds were
newly infected and only reported
Saturday, so that while it is hoped
that all of the infection has beer
traced, it is possible that other
diseased herds may yet be found
Every effort is being made to eradi-
cate the disease entirely from Yer.
mont at once, because of the great
danger of diseased animals being
shipped from there to other parts o
New England or to the states farther
west. While the quarantine has done
much to reduce the danger of suol
shipment, several attempts to evad
it have been detected, and there i
! always possibility of some one'
} violating it either through ignoranc,
+ or righteousness. In New Hampshire
3 two diseased herds have been fouu
and third one reported, but this re
port is not yet confirmed. One o
these herds has been slaughtered an
the premises thoroughly disinfected.

COASTING IN THE TROPICS.
Sport that Has Been Enjoyed Time Out
of Mind in Hawaii.

VI III IiaWalls
In one form or another coasting is
among the most ancient and universal
Of amusements lncongruous as it
sounds, this has been Il favOrite sport
in. Hawaii time out of mind The
author of "Hawaian America de-
scribes the possibilities of coasting in
the tropics.
1t seems impossible that any speed
can be obtained with the long native
sledgeS without the aid of snow, and
yet there is abundant evidence to prove
it, The course, made of dry grass and
smooth stones, was laid down the side
of Il steep hill, and the pace attained
sent the coaster quite distance across
the plain ut the foot of the runway.
In my travels over the islands l no.
ticed these old courses, very plainly
marking several precipitous hillsides
and suggesting a considerable amount
Of toll in their original making. The
sledge was only six inches wide by
three inches deep. and about twelve
feet long, made very stoutly of hard
wood
A curious variation of the sport of
coasting still lives in Hawaii. and
serves to keep alive the native skill OF
the inhabitants. This is surf-riding in
a canoe or on onini.
The Onini is a board made of the ia
nous kOa wood about twelve to efgh-
teen inches wide and from six to eight
feet long, often with fiat surface. but
usually with both sides slightly round
ed. Pushing the boards before them,
the natives swim beyond the breakers,
where they wait the approach of suit
able incoming wave. When a big one
comes, they lie on the board face down
ward, and paddle with both hands and
feet shoreward. until the wave over
takes them. when by expert manipuh
ton the onini is kept on the face of the
waves and coasts toward the shore at
steamboat speed. AS the board rests
on the face of the wave at considera-
BILE angle. some idea may be had of the
skill required to keep it there during
the quartermile rush for shore, yet
some of the natives become SO expert
that they stand upon the board during
the steadier periods of its flight.
In ii canoe with two strong paddlers
and a helmsman of experience and
skill. the sport is not less exciting. In

To learn poetry for repetition" is
doubtless means of cultivating a
knowledge of literature, but schoolboys
sometimes regard the authors of poems
learned as taskmasters and personal
enemies. This view is amusingly eX-
pressed in letter which was found
among the papers of the venerable
German poet Geibel 1t was written
to him by some schoolboys of Lubbock,
and is signed Karl Beckmann, IL.
K.asse' The letter is printed in Lit
erature After stating that two boys
had been tioggcd because they could
not learn Herr Geibers Hope of
Spring" the letter reads as follows:
We suppose you did not think of such
things when you wrote the poem. The
Herr Lehrer says it is a very beautiful
poem. but there are SO many very beau
tiful poems and we are obliged to learn
them. Therefore we beg and entreat
YOU. esteemed Herr Geibel, make no
more beautiful poems. And to make
il worse we have to learn the biog-
raphy of every poet, what year he was
born in, and what year he died in. We
write to you because you are the only
poet still living, and we wish you a
very long life.
