With the help of a negro king he took a
town containing 8.000 pcople,but “no truth

bery refusedto share equally with the pious-

English thief. This was the beginning of
“many miseries, " for the Spaniards attack-
ed him at San Juan do Ulloa, and after many
misadventures he had to land a , hundred
men on the Mexican coast and make for
home with the remnant of the crew.

The castaways fell into the hands of the
Inquisition, who treated them as they had
treated the negroes, or even worse. “Sev-

0 nan-Y crisis.”

The baby carriage made its appearance
yesterday for" the season. It was 00-
cupied by the usual baby, and it was pro-
pelled by the woman who looks into all the
store windows as she goes along. A re-
porter who followed the carriage for an
hour found that it collided with five women,
ten men, six curb-blocks. four boxes and a
street car, and every collision only made
the woman more determined to occupy
twolhirds ofjthe sidewalk if it took all
summer.

She succeeded. They all succeed. A
woman pushing a baby carriage in front of
her on the sidewalk in as dangerous as sev-
en roller skaters and four velocipede riders
combined. She can‘t kill a full-grown man
quite as promptly as a runaway team, but
she can knock his shine to pieces, tumble
him over, upset all his good resolutions
and leave him flint-hearted and evil-mind-
ed.

You can‘t dodge a baby cub... Your only
safe way is to make a jump from the .curb-
stone or climb a ladder. They go on
wheels. They are supposed to be a con-
vom’cnco which no respectable baby can do
without. No matter who first got the idea'
“that jolting' a baby around mrbobbing

position—the idea' is correct. Put a man
in a. vehicle of the sort and his back
would be broken in an hour, _-but babies
have no backs. They are siniply great
- banks of sweetness. The only reason why
all the Union regiments in the late war Were
not armed with baby carriages was because
the factories could not supply them. They.
would have ended the war in one year.’
The woman with the baby carriage needs
no advice. She knows enough to head the
vehicle toward every crowd she can see.
The thicker the crowd the more business
she has there. It is her duty to run to all

I once saw a young man who was hope-
lessly lame from the effects of wearing tight
boots. He said: “I would wear tight
boots; a tumor came upon my foot; I had
the best medical attention, but it proved to
be incurable. At length, to. save my life,
when mortification showed itself, my phy—
sician said the foot must be amputated
above the heel. Think of my sorrow at

- the very thought of losing my foot, but I
had to submit, and now I am what you see
me, apoor cripple—all from pride. " ‘A
few words must be added upon the injurcus
affects of high-heeled shoes. The remarks
I am about to make deserve to be'sarioualy’
considered. The present fashion is to have
the heel of the boot not only high, but nar-
row and inclined forward, so that the dis-
tance between the heel and point of the
foot appears to be smaller than it really is.
The effect of this is to remove the weight
of the body .from its natural support,rtho

toes instead of the heel that touch the

ground, hence often acute pain in the sole
of the foot, and injuries to the anterior
joints. Grave constitutional troubles are
not unfrequently the result of persistence

and it is superior for pencil cases, jewelry,

does not tarnish the metal, whereas the

freedom of celluloid from sulphur, and the
natural flesh color which can be imparted
to it, have caused it to be extensively sub.
stituted for India-rubber in the manufac-
ture of dental blanks, or the gums and
other attachments of artificial teeth.

As a substitute for porcelain, celluloid is
used for the heads of dolls, which can be
hammered against a hard floor without
danger of fracture. Beautiful'jewelry is
made of it in imitation of the most elabor.
ately carved coral, reproducing all the
shades of the genuine article.

Celluloid has been experimented with as

trials have not yet been very satisfactory,
it is thought that they will eventually be'
successful. For hat bands and hat sweat

soil produces more actual wealth than her

exceed in value the beat of her placers.
Her grape crop this season will be so very
large that preparations are making to con-
vert one thousand tons of grapes into rai-
sins. Most persons think of California as a
that her agricultural resources are beyond
those of her mines. Agriculture is apt to
pay bettorthan gold 'or silver, seeking in
any fertile, well-cultivated region; but
there is a sort of fascination abouttho pro-
cious metals which allurcs men the world

expedition, thayabc'ouut ofwhich is just

southeast until he struck the mm Tarim
where it turns south, and he followed its
course until it discharges into Lake Lobnor.
The Tarim is a great river, with afiluents

AN unbununouxn our.

New York, as every one knows, is
situated upon a narrow island. .It can-
not spread ”but in'ouo direction becanso
of the surrounding waters. As a conse-
quence an enormous business is being.
done upon a small surface of land, to
util so which there have been built with-
in the last twelve ‘years immense office
buildings and apartment houses, each of
which accommodates as many people as
live in an ordinary village. Under this
narrow stretch of land are built sewers,
basements and dollars, in addition to
gas-pipes, water-mains. audiotlier un-
derground constructions. To‘ relieve
the surface of the streets of their sour--
mous vehicular traffic, it is 'now pro-
proposed to build underground streets
and subways to accommodate the
sewers, water, gas and stem pipes, and
eventually telegraph and telephone wires.
Nor is this all. Advantage will be taken
of the subways to run ears, and open
passages for vehicles. It is not im-
probable that by the twentieth century
the principal thowughfare will be 1m.
derlaid by a second street, so as to ex-
pedite travel and ti'iifllc. New York has
tried one experiment on a very great
scale; no less than three companies tire
laying ‘steam pipes all overp'tlie' city,
which can be used not only for pow-ci-
but for heating purposes. It is believed
that the time will slicitly come when
furnaces, stoves, and other heating ap-
paratuses will be dispensed with, and
that heat will be idppliod from the out-
sido as water and gas. now are. -It is
said that every process of oooking,‘ 1n-
eluding broiling, can be done by steam.
How thiacan be'dono is a ‘myat'eryto
the uninitiated.

 

EXERCISE.

A great deal depends upon the time
chosen for noedful exercise. When it is
properly conductéd, tho elect en the di-
gestive system is very marked. The appe-
tite is increased; and more food is taken in
order to . supply force necessary for the
maintenance 0! the mechanical force. This
increase of appetite is especially noted
when thc exercise ls taken in the open air.
When exercise is undertaken, however,
without due praparation,or the bodily pow.
era are exhausted by fatigue, the power of
being able to take food 'is diminished. This
condition. if the exercise is continued and
the power of taking food ramains impair-
ed, is one of considerate danger, and. the
health Is often greatly affected, the force of
the heat being much reduced. ' It is of
great Importance, moreover, when great

bodily powers are thoroughly recruited by
rest before an attempt is made to take food
otherwise there will be no inclination to
take it, and if forced down it will not di-
gest. An hour's rest with 11 cup of warm
tea, will do much toward restoring appetite
in those caaaa‘. Indeed it should be a rule
inailcaseathataperlodofrest should in.
ter’v'ana‘ between work and food."
