SPORTS IN ARGENTINA.
Continued from second page.

which the Latin race is noted and which have
so demoralizing an effect their youth
To-day while this custom has not entirely
died out, the very young men are conspicuous
by their absence for one and all of them
practising for the coming regatta or the heNt
football or cricket match. That result in ltselI
is sufficient to justify all the trouble and eX-
pense necessary to bring about such a healthy
interest in sport, but there are other and much
more far reaching effects that will undoubtedly
influence the whole future of the Argentine Re
public.
If there is thing more than another that
will help place Argentina in the vanguard OF
nations, it viii be the eradication of the fatal
inclination to put off until tomorrow what had
much better be done to-day. While so thor
oughy is every one imbued with this tendency
that it will take generations to entirely over
come it, if anything will eradicate this disease
it is the training of the young men to athletic
sports which require prompt decision and quick
action, for this training will unconsciously make
| the coming more prompt and decisive in
the ordinary affairs of life
We have only to look at our English cousins
to be convinced that plenty of exercise out OK
doors makes a robust healthy and long lived
people, and their love of bathing has become q
byword so that personal cleanliness may be
said to follow athletics a natural sequence,
and we all know that neither Spain nor Italy IS
, noted for its attention to this most important
detail Some of the native houses away from
the cities bear witness to the fact that change
of country does not entail change of habits
Last but by no means the least benefit that
healthy competition in outdoor games will cor
fer on the future Argentine race is the love OF
fair play.
Had such a quality been instilled and fosteted
two hundred years ago the history of Sonth
America would have been a very different one
and even in our enlightened age justice as we
understand it. or. President Roosevelt has
put it, "the giving to every man square deal,
is practically unknown in any South American
state.
Therefore, it does not seem too much to say
that the introduction of athletic sports into Ar
gentfra may change the whole future history or
that prosperous and progressive republic

nonymous. ''The coquette," accord
ing to one authority, fuses man as
ahe does her dresses she likes to be

kills for the sake of killing. She
plays on mans vanity to satisfy
hers. The firt, on the other hand,
is not serious, and she does not
want you to take her seriously. She
wants fun, innocent fun, and If you
can make up your mind to accept
her for what she is worth she may
help you to pass a very pleasant
time. The coquette tries to lead

Pet Names out Of Place.

1T is great mistake, in my opin-
lon," remarked a young married wom-
an. "for husbands and wives to call
each other by any term OF endearment.
1t generally begins in the nrst part of
their married life. They feel It is rath-

possession. Later on habit makes them
continue tile epithets. but they become
meaningless. They might Just az well
be Molly and Billy as far az sentiment
goes. and the simple Christian name
sounds, to my way of thinking, In bet
ter form. When especial names have
been adopted, as is sometimes the case,
they are obnoxious in the beginning
and later on become absurd. know a

the old names used with marital sharp

EARTHQUAKES.
Theories to Account For These up-

Theories to Account For These Up
heavaIs of the Earth's Crust.
A scientist who has made special
study of earthquakes says: 'Let US
imagine the influx of the sea into one
of the assures formed in the earth's
crust. On coming into contact with
molten matter it would Instantly be
changed into gaseous steam, expand
ing to more than 1900 times its oriEt.
nal bulk. This would, press with enor-
nous force upward upon the crust of
the earth and downward upon the sur
face of the liquid lava. If there were
then no vent for the lava to escape an
earthquake would result"
There are other ingenious theories
which have weight, such as that of
Davy, who when he discovered the
metallic bases of the earths and aka
lis conceived that water may pene-
trate to these metals If they exist un-
derground in an unoxidized state and
so set free sufficient gaseous matter to
cause an earthquake. Shrinkage of the
earth's crust is also to be taken into
account,

.nIicrorcopio peteotira.

Ehrenberg, prince of microscopists,
some years ago was employed by the
Prussian government to investigate a
case of smuggling. A case had been
opened, yaluables extracted and the
case repacked and shipped onward to
its destination. The only clew to the
criminals was that the unpacldng must
have been done at some OF the customs
houses through which the goods had
passed. To all appearances the mi
croscope had hopeless task. Ehren-
berg took some OF the sand which had
been used in repaclzing. placed It un-
der the microscope. looked through the
tube, and, behold, there on the sand
lay pecp,iar specimen Of foramini-
fera. That animal was found only at
one place in the world and told Just
where the crime had been committed.

Marriage Of the Dead.

A strange custom prevails among
a certain tribe in the Caucasus.
When single young man dies, some
ione who has carried to the grave
a manageable daughter in the
course of the year calls upon the be-
reayed parents and says:
"Your SON is sure to want a wife.
I'll give you my daughter, and you
shall deliver to me the marriage
portion in return"
A friendly offer of this descrip-
ton is never rejected, and the two
parties soon come to terms as to
the amount of the dowry, which
varies according to the advantages
possessed by the girl in her lifetime.
Cases have been known where the
young mans father has given as
much as thirty cows to secure a
dead wife for his dead son.

CLIMBING sERPENTs.
The Method by which They Glide Up
smooth Surfaces.

The Method by Which They Glide On
Smooth Surfaces.
Serpents can easily climb a smooth
wall. Il have often seen them do SO
in Central America" says a traveller,
writing to journal published in Rome.
Il watched little one, whose bite is
fatal, climb up canvas stretched taut
between two snakes. reaching The
top the reptile curled itself round d
handglass, and killed it with cane .
A serpent is to be seen in almost any
geological garden which makes no
trouble of climbing its glass case. This
is how it sets to work: Stretching itself
up the glass for about four inches, it
discharges from its glands a quantity
OF viscous matter which serves as an
adhesive liquid to hold and support its
body long enough to enable It to thrust
itself up little higher, when the proc
ess is repeated.
In warm climates this mucus Is very
thick and glutinous, SO that by it's aid
even heavy serpents can glide up per-
fectIy smooth surfaces.

Weddings and Funerals.

There is mighty little difference

Al a wedding the relations walk
slowly down the aisle. followed by
the bridal couple and string of at
t.ndants. t At a funeral the rela-

lowed by the coffin and pallbearere
At a wedding the real relations of
the bride cit on one side of the
churoh, and the son-in-law rela-
ticns sit on the other. The kin OF
the remains take opposite side OF
the church at funeral. The
organ rolls ont, the same deep
music and the odor of feWers-is as
heavy at a wedding as at funeral,
After the church services are over
the bridal couple and attendants
leave the church first. followed by
the relatives. and at a funeral the
coffin and pallbearers are given
precedence of the relatives in
leaving the 1hprcf. The same
hacks stand at tho door, and the
PROFESSIONS in both cases pass
slowly ont of sight. After every

Color Definitions.

Oolors have each an individual
meaning. White, for instance
which is reunion of seven priDi.
tive oolors. is the symbol of power
divine wisdom. pnrity. candor. in.
nocence ind chastity. Red rep.
resents FIRE It'is, therefore, sym
bolio of passion, power and riches;
hence kings and the powerful
rulers of the earth wore red mantles
1t is also emblematio of hardness
and cruelty. being the color worn
by exeoutioners of old and by the
members of the Inquieition.
Blne denotes fidelity, sweetness,
tenderness and loyalty With the
anoients, yellow denotes glory and
fortune. Now it is called the
color of infidelity and shame How
is it that yellow has become the
emblem of ,infdelity. perfdy and
misfortune8. Because Jews were
forced to wear yellow during the
middle ages, and the house doors
traitors were smeared with the yclk
of eggs.
Green is the color of hope and
joy and the emblem of youth,
Black denotes sadness. Pink de-
notes health, youth. pleasure. love.
Violet is the color allowed to faith.
Orange means divine inspiration
and poetry. The muses. are all
represented Glad in orange colored
draperies. Orange was also the
color of Hymen. Brides once
wore orange.colored wells called
fammeum, and they could not pro.
nounce their vows unless covered
with the fammeum.
