A fugitive pang for an hour ol lelsure
A thrill of pleasure, a throb of pain.

Amaron? in Review.
Reviews or maneuvers of the Amazons
.are held frequently during the-annual
custom and are not the playful affairs
that they are in civilized countries. In
a space used as . a drill ground there is
built a bank of thorny cactus bushes
abolit 1,300 feet long, 20 feet broad and
7 feet high. Beyond and parallel with
this heap is a honse representing a fort.
The barefooted female warriors have to
surmount three times the heap of thorns
which represent the fortifications, de
scend into the clear space like a ditch,
escalade the house, which represents a
citadel bristling with defenses, and take
the town simulated by the hut. They
are to be twice repulsed by the enemy,
but at the third assault thoyare victo
rious and drag the prisoners tot-he king's
feet in token, of success. The first to
surmount all the obstacles receives from
his hand tho reward of bravery, foi.
says the king, "We reckon military
valor as the first of the virtues."
The king places himself at the head
of the column, harangues his women
soldiers, inflames them, and at a given
signal they throw themselves with the
ulznost fury upon the bank of thorns
which torture their naked feet. At the
first asscult, "when the most intrepid
had already gained the summit of the
house, 1 saw a woman soldier, who was
at one of the -ends, fall to the ground
from a height of sixteen feet. She was
wringing her hands and remained
seated, though her comrades were try
ing to reanimate her with courage,
when the king himself came up and
threw at her a glance and cry of indig
nation. She sprang np then as if elec
trified, continued the maneuvers and
carried off the first prize. It is impos
able to give an idea of the scene.

Tho Speed of Elevators.
With the modern elevator almost any
speed desired can bu obtained; it all de
pends on the power used and the dis
tance traveled. In a building which has
a abaft of 250 feet a speed of from 850 to .
1,000 feet a minute can be obtained. On
a rise of 150 feet it is easy to get a speed
of 750 feet per minute with a weight of
1,000 pounds aboard the elevator. In
New York the fastest elevators are in
the Union Trust company's building on
Broadway, near Wall street They shoot
up or down, carrying 8,000 pounds, at a
speed of 600 feet a minute. When tested
with lighter weights they have traveled
from 800 to 900 feet in a minute.
But the average speed of elevators in
office buildings in and around New York
is 800 feet a minute. It is best adapted
for work, and experience has demon- :
s tra ted that more passengers can be car- J
ried daily in a car going at that speed in '
the ordinary large building than any '
other. The increase in the size of ele
? vators is in keeping with improvement 1
in other directions.--Chicago Journal of '

An Incident In an Engineer's Ute. | ]
Far, far down the track is a dark spot,
over which hovers a great cloud. The 1
engineer sees it, hauls out his watch, j
- glances at it, then resumes the business
of looking out of the window. He was to .
meet an east bound freight at that point
He did not know if the switches were in j
place; he did not know but the passen- i
"ger train would dash into that freight j
and the death of many people follow. \
There was no way for him to know es- i
cept that it was the duty of his fellow (
employees to see that the switches wero c
right. He did not slacken his speed, c
Rapidly tho huge mogul on the side j
track loomed up. A roar and a dash \
and No. 57 flew past the waiting freight, 1

" : Danger lu Crowding tho "RfcsV
It is. well known that the costfeetion
?tween the nerves in the feet, an? espe
:ially those in the great toe, and the
>rain and general nervous organisation
s strong. Dr. Brown-Sequard mentions
i patient who, whenever he borer the
weight of his body on the toes o? his
right foot, became violently insane.. He
ilso speaks of' another case where pres
sure on the toe caused severe nervous
paroxysms.
These casca simply show the impor
tance of a proper care of the feet, a por
tion of the body that many-people neg
lect. They think that they can crowd
their l'2et into tight shoes and abuse
them without serious results. " They
can't do it, however. This crowding of
five toes into a space not large enough
for three, results in pressing the joints
out of shape and sometimes making
theminactiveand.powerless. No man,
with his toes half paralyzed can walk
properly. The control of the toes is
necessary for a springy step. Broad
soles and.low heels give room for all th?
toes and allow perfect freedom of action
to every muscle. People who havo
false standards of beauty for the feet,
however, insist on wearing a shod thai

' As a consequence of these abuse* we
are forgetting how to'walk properly.

The Age of Coal Barning.
I have heard that when King Hudson,
in the zenith of his fame, was asked as
to what his railways were to do when
all the coal was burned out, he replied,
that by that time we should have learned
how to burn water. Those who are asked
the same question now will Often reply
that they will use electricity, and doubt
less think that they have thus disposed
of the question. Tho fallacy of such
answers is obvious.
A so called "water gas" may no doubt
bo used for developing heat, but it ts
not the water which supplies the energy.
Trains may be run by electricity, but
all that the electricity does ts to convey
the energy from .the point where it ia
generated to the train which w ^> mo
tion. Electricity 1B itself-nd Wore a
source of power than* is- the-rope with
which a horse drags a boat along th?
canal.
The fact is that a very larg? part of
fne boasted advance of civilization is
merely the acquisition of an increased
capability of squandering.; For what
are we doing every day but devising
fresh appliances to exhaust with evor
greater rapidity the hoard ?f coal.

When Finished,
Busy persons, forced to defend them
selves from interminable talkers, who
have little to say, can appreciate a hint
to which Henry IV of France once re
sorted. A parliamentary deputy called
upon him and made a long speech.
The king listened patiently for a time,
then he decided that his visitor would
do well to condense his .remarks. He
took him by the hand and led him to

comes when they burst out into flower,
and the fields look like a sheet of silver
as the white petals of th?, flowers glisten
in the morning dew.
These beautiful petals are the first
produce of the crop, for the women and
children of the cultivators' families
come forth and pick them off one .by
one and carefully dry them, so that they
may serve afterward, as the covering, of
the manufactured cakes of opium. Thenl|
the poppies, with their hare capsule
heads, remain standing in the op?n
field until it is considered that they are
ripe for lancing. The cultivators., then
come forth in the evening, and, with an.
implement not unlike the knives of a
cupping instrument, they scarify, the
capsule on its sides with deep incisions,
so that the juice may exude.
' lu the early morning the cultivators
reappear with a scraping knife and their
earthenware pots, and they scrape off
the exuded juice and collect it in then
pots. And this is crude opium.-Black

A Tragic Kindergarten Episode.'
A certain kindergarten is blessed with
the attendance of a very original youth
named Richard. He is a very honest:
little boy and highly respected by his~
parents, but the other afternoon when
he came home he acknowledged frankly
to his mother that a punishment had
been inflicted upon hirq at the kinder
garten. - v flQi
"Why, what have you doner
"Well, you see," he answered, "John-i i
ny and I got tired of being good, and wei
made up our minds that we would just
get our heads together and holler out
the very naughtiest word we could
think of, both together."
The mother was inexpressibly shocked.
Johnny was another very nice r.nd well
bred boy. But she managed to ask:
"Well, what did you say?"
"We - ist screamed out 'Bedbug!' as
loud as we could!"

LIZARDS IN SINGAPOft?L
.The Cold, Clammy Creatures Get Into
Bedrooms by Seores.
There are heards in Singapore-large?
scampering, suddenly dropping things,
of all sorts of colors. You see-them on
the walls of your hotel, in the sunshine,,
and admire them. At evening, sitting
with fan and iced drinks, one suddenly
falls on you, and it is colder than your
toddy. How can any organism bred in
this seething spot be so cold?
Ton go to bed, you and your wife.
Each has a canopied couch, rods remote
from the other, for sleeping apartments
are ample. You stretch out on a light
mattrass over which is one sheet. For
upper covering pull up' the darkness and
draw the mosquito nets. There is no
need of a sheet over you any more than
there is for a warming pan.
The night orchestra, strange sounds of
tropic insects and trees and airs outside,
finally lulls you asleep. Presently
plunk! and then a scampering of som?
nimble clawed thing on the floor near
your bed. My lady, over at the other
gide of the vast waste of chamber,
squeals, "A mouser'
You assure her that it couldn't be mice.
"Mice dont fall from the ceiling like
a lump of mud. . Ifs only the lizards!"
This cheerful information elicits no
squeal. With mice out of the question,
what woman would not be brave? There
is a buch in the distant couch, a silence
too still for sleep. You know your
partner lies over, yonder listening hard
{pr m.ore Usar?*. Presently there aa
more little dull thuds. The lizards seem
to be falling in several places. They
seem to be chasing ea?h. other or some
venomous prey or possibly making awaj
with your shoes.
When ?ne is fagged out with sight
geeing, to be awake in inky darkness in
rho midst of a lizard carnival is a little
hard on .the nerves. Ah, something is
pulling at the canopy pf your bed, as if
a young kitten were trying to climb it!
There comes a very subdued voice
from the distant corner: "This is awful.
Won't you get up and strike a.light?"
"And step on the bloomin, cold beasts
with raj bare feet! You try it; you'r
nearer thu matches than I!"
"But we can't lie hero like this. Call
somebody^' *
And one of the omnipresent "boys."
who seems to have been on guard at the
threshold, comes softly in. "The lizard*
will not hurt you, lady. They catch
the mosquitoes .and spiders. Sometimes
they get under tho nets on the bed; but

Slight mistakes in speaking a foreign
language, or in understanding it when
some one else speaks it, are commonly
nothing more than amusing, but a mem
ber of the Alpine club mentions an in
stance of a more serious nature.. He
was climbing one of the Alps with a
guide, who persisted in talking bad Eng
lish instead of indifferent French.
"My guide," he says, "had just crossed
a snow bridge over a wide crevasse, and
turned to await me on the farther side
I asked him if it was weak; he an
swered, 'No strong.'
"Naturally I attempted to walk across
it instead of crawling. I had almost
reached the other side when the bridge
gave way, and after a delirious scramble
to save myself I subsided helplessly
into the crevasse.
"However, I did not go far, and when
[ had crawled out, with snow down my
neck and up my arms and in all my
pockets, I discovered that my friend
bad meant 'Not strong.' I strongly en
joined him to reserve his English hence
forth for use in the valleys."-Exchange.
