FIGHT'I Men who at home are members of : PlO S. P. C. A. , yea , even of the Y. M. . p. A. , come to Mexico and demand to ! know where tickets to the bull fights are to be had. If It ! Is on Sunday , so much the better ; there Is a thrill oC deviltry in smashing several commandments - mandmonts at once. Women go , and , fascinated , sit through the successive acts of a drama oC blood and pain. Docs anyone mean to say that he would not attend a gladiatorial combat . bat would not revel In seeing men pitted against wild animals , or that , If Christian Science martyrs were thrown Into a Mexican arena to be de voured by wild beasts there would not be a crowd of most worthy tourists on the front seats ? Human nature remains - mains quite unaltered. The passion for the bull fight on the part of the worthy people . who come here every winter and spring is proof enough that the old Romans were no fuller of orIginal sin than the rest of us.- Mexican Herald. THE FIRST SWIM OF THE YEAR. The first swim of the year Is with- out a peer as a serious menace to' ' . health , combined with acute personal suffering , says James L. Ford In Les- 1I0's. There always comes a time early In May when three or four successive - cessive days of warm weather give a sudden Impetus to the buds , leaves and grass , and fill the schoolboy's heart with a longing for the cool depth of the river that flows through the meadows half a mile from school. And immediately after the hearty 2 o'clock dinner-which , as every physician knows , Is a most auspicious moment for bathing-a dozen boys with towels stuck under their jackets may be seen leaving the school grounds in a furtive manner so as not to attract the notice of the "old man , " who is known to harbor certain old- fashioned prejudices against swinn ming In the early spring when the water is as cold as Ice and malaria lurks about the river banks. The lit- tle band of fun.seel\Crs are also at pains to elude the school bullies who might play disagreeable tricks with their clothing , and to bid to their saturnalia of discomfort two or three unsuspecting small boys who are sur- prised pleased and flattered by the invitation. Which one of us will ever forget the ghastly miser of that early spring swim ? The icy coldness of the water ; the oozing turf on which we undressed and left our clothes ; the gusts oC chill wind that swept down the river ; the sharp stones over which we walked and the awful cold- ness of the water that was spattered on our backs ; : by our merry comrades ! SHAKESPEARE. If you could collect all the volumes of Shakspeare's works that have been published and sell them at $1 each It Is possible that you might be able to buyout the steel trust at Its watered - ed valuation , and have something left for a nest egg. There have been all kinds of editions , some for the million- aire at $8500 ; a copy , some for the street mendicants at a penny. His works have been forged , garbled , edited down to the bare bones , rewritten , repudiated , printed and reprinted , published and repub- lished. Only the Bible stands In front of Shakespeare in gen- eral circulation and the good book has the merit and advantage of being forced down our throats , whereas Shakespeare Is sou Art after.-New York Press. FREEMEN THE BEST FIGHTERS. An English writer on military matters . tel's takes the ground that a republican - . lIcan or representative form of government . ernment Is not conducive to the best I results when It comes to preparation for war , and that the business of I fighting , to be thoroughly successful , , should be managed by an autocracy. But it Is to be feared that this gallant soldier has studied history , and espe- cially recent history , to little effect. There Is no more autocratic power on earth than Russia , and that country has not furnished a particularly striking - Ing example of readiness for war or effective military organization of late. Japan , on the other han , which If anything was a little too readY for : war , has a representative government. Napoleon III. sought to be as autocratic , cratlc as his more famous and much I . abler predecessor , the first emperor I of that name. Yet under Napoleon III. the French army administration was so weak and rotten that it fell to pieces , involving the nation In de feat , disaster and humiliation as soon as Germany had a fair chance to strike at It. Autocracy never yet , from the times of Xerxes , Alexander and the Caesars to the present , has been capable , In : and of Itself , of creating that spirit of devotion and patriotism which makes the truest national defense. On the contrary , those nations which have the most liberal governments and the largest measure oC freedom of Indl- vadual action have shown themselves the bravest and readiest In war : It II I I sometimes takes longer to arouse them , and It undoubtedly Is true that they are not always as thoroughly prepared for hostilities as they might be. TJlat in itself shows their prefer- once for peace as against war. But when the spur of necessity or patriotism - ism Is applied where can better fighters - ers be found than those who come for- ward from the ranks of a free people and offer themselves to their country ? -Troy Times. WHY JAPS HAVE PROGRESSED. The ease with which scientists , engineers , glneers , naval and military experts have been produced In Japan proves that often the most abstract training is the best preparation for practical efficiency. The cherry-stone carvers have been preparing to hold the lever and the trIgger ; the pundits have found the plotting of a campaign upon Port Arthur already accomplished In their ancestors' charting oC the cosmos - mos and the soul of man. The Japanese - nese have not been taught to despise anything as too small or too great. , No allusion of racial superIority has fostered a faith that they can blunder lucidly through all emergencies. No superstitious respect for machinery has betrayed them into scorning the finest of all Instruments-the min itself.-New York Evening Post. PERILS OF "SELF-DOCTORING. " Large numbers oC people in prosperous ' perous circumstances die as sexagenarians - at'lans from maladies which are evt deuces of degeneration and of prema ture senility , while many who pass this period go on to enter upon an eighth or ninth decade of life. The former class comprise those who have lived without restraint or their appetites - tltes and who have sought to allay some of the consequences by self.me Ication , while the latter class comprise - prise those who have lived reasonably and who , if annoyed by Imperfect digestion , have sought relief by aban- cloning the errors from which it sprang.-Lancet. . - PLEASE TELL YOUR READERS Our Big 50.Cent Catalogue Is Now Free.
