Tlie origin of the term "coat of arms"
is thus given. In the days of chivalry,
asvery one knows, the knighta wore
coats of linked steel or some kind of
armor to protect them in battle or
journey. These coats would soon be
come useless on account of the r us tin?
caused by exposure to drenching rain,
and in the sunlight they were exceed
ingly hot and dazzling, So the knights
put ou a silken surceat over these coats
of mail, and as with helmets on and
visors closed, there was uo way of dis
tinguishing one from another, the
armorial bearing of eaoli knight was
emblazoned on his silken surcoat,
which thus became a "coat of arms."
The pratice wa3 then extended to the
trappings of the horse aud afterwards
to the articles of the household, as the
linen and plate. Saturday Evening

The :it of Death.
The death rate of the C'itj-of Mexico
is very high. It is said that it averages
about 3" in 1.0)0, and the only wonder
is that it is not higher. Were it not
for the perpetually bright sun and the
high altitude the city would be a
morgue, a vast charnel house, a Gol
gotha, a place of skulls. Think of n
city which has had a population ol
hundreds of thousands for many gen

with no drainage whatever, and let thi
city go on with its accumulated nirvs
of filth increasing year by year sinking
down into the soil, and you have some
idea sanitary .Mexico City.
A eonstantant miasma rises hero at
night and the water is only three feet
under the city. Is it any wonder that
there is no place in the raorld where
typhus and typhoid fever is so preva
lent as here, and is it not surprising
that tho Mexican capital is for many
people a favorable health resort? The
climate is so equable the thin, dry air
and the hot sun sucks up the juices of
decomposition, and sjch people as are
careful and sleep above the ground
door are in little danger.
Outside the city there is no danger
whatever, and if built on high ground
it would be the finest health resort of
the world. As it is, foreigners have to
to le very careful of their health here,
and the foreign cemeteries contain
many occupants. St, Loui3 Globe

l'earl fishery is again being conducted
off the Northwest coast of Ceylon, and
this year a larger number . of buyers
from India and1 the continent generally
has been attracted to the banks than
ever before. The diver's great toe is
inserted in a loop formed by the rope
which is wound round the diving
stone. The water is calm and quite
clear to a considerable depth at this
season of the year. The tleet of oyster
boats is under the control of the gov
ernment steamer which is stationed
at the pearl banks.
A government recorder is attached to
each boat, and the oyster stores on
shore are guarded by armed police. The
locality of the fishery presents a busy
scene with its throng of buyers, petty
tradesmen, oflieials, boatman, etc.
who congr.-gate there during the two
or three weeks of the fishery. After a
few day3 the oyster sheila attract clouds
of flies, from which there is no escape
not even at meal times when every
precaution is taken to prevent a (ly or
two being inadvertenly swallowed
with every mouthful of food. The
first boat which arrives at Colombo or
at any other town on the coast from
the fishery with a cargo of pearl oysters
Is enthusiastically welcomed by old
and young, rich and pooralike, for all

in an oyster or two purchased at

Setting the Pace for Eastern ItallioaiU
Improvement in train equipment and
train service has been very marked in
the west during the last ten years,
particularly when compared with what
has been done in the east.
Among the lines that have been first
to adopt new ideas and to meet the rea
sonable demands of the traveling public
must be mentioned the Burlington
Route. This great system, of course,
enjoys many advantages that perhaps
enables it to do more than its neighbors.
Its main line3 stretching out from St.
Louis and Chicago for more than a
thousand miles to the very heart of the
Rockies attract a very large through
travel, while the prosperous and thickly
settled character of the country it
traverses, ensues for it an enormous
local business.
To accommodate its constantly in
creasing through trafiic, as well as to pro
vide even better facilities for its local
travel than at present exist, the Bur
lington Route on Sunday, April 24th
put into effect a new time card which
places in service two new trains between
Denver and Chicago and Denver and
St. Louis. These trains make tho fast
est time in the west. The now west
bound train leaves Chicago at 10:30 p
m., Omaha at 4 :40 p. m., Lincoln at
i:10n. m. and reaches Dcver at 7:10
the next morning. Eastbonnd, the cor
responding train to that 8t referred to,
leaves Denver at 9 a. in. reaches Lincoln
and Omaha the same day and arrives in
Chicago at 2:15 the following afternoon,
where such favorable connections are
made with trunkline trains to the At
lantic sea-board as land passengers in
New York in time for dinner on the
evening of the third day. How our
grand-fathers would have marvelled at
such devouring of time and space.

Styles in Wooden Legs.
The demand for willow wood for ar
tificial legs has grown immeusly in re
sent years. The funny men on the
;tage talk glibly of cork legs but light
ivillow limbs are more popular. English
nakes claim that the best willow iD
he world is to be found along the
banks and streams in their southern
counties and there seems some ground
for their contention, although an
immense quantity of good willow is
cut every year in this country.
Statisticians say that over l,0u0,CO0
English-speaking men wear cr walk on
vtooden legs, and this accounts for the
enormous trade in limbs of this kind.
The old-fabhione d stump with an iron
tip on it is seldom seen now. It was
a great success in its day, and with
reasonable care and luck lasted close
on a lifetime; but it was too awkward
and couspicious, not to say noisy, to be
popular. The modern wooden leg is
more costly, but it is much more
comfortable and many a man who is
compelled to walk by the aid of one
can give pointers in grace and deport
ment to others more blessed by fortune.

A Montevideo Cemetery.
The cemetery at Montevideo, Uru
guay, is considered one of the sights of
the capital. It has a monumental en
trance and an elaborate chapel, and is
reputed to be the most luxurious and
best arranged cemetry in South Amer
ica. It is situated on the sea shore
and divided into three sections, sur
rounded by high wells, in which are
arranged on the inside innumerable
niches, each with its marble tablet re
cording the names of those whose re
mains are deposited inside. The cof
fins are wound up to the mouth of
these mural cellules by means of a
portable lift aud ladder combined, and
the whole surface of the wall is bung
with wreaths of fresh flowers or of
beads, which stand out in strong relief
against the marble facings. Each
section of the cemetery is carefully
laid out, fenced in with iron railings,
anilfu'dof tombs and monuments of
great price and pretensions, due to the
chisels of the sculptors of Rome and
Milan. The vegetation in the ceme
tery Is most varied, and besides the
funeral cypresses there are flowering
shrubs of many kinds, and on almost
every grave wreaths of fresh flowers.
A M ouster Pam.
The distinction is now said to be
long to Bombay of possessing the
greatest piece of solid masonry con
struction that the world has seen in
modern times. It appears that for
years past water supply of Bombay de
pended upon work to b8 defective, in
volving the possibility of a water fam
ine in the great Eastern seaport, and
in view of this a consultation of emi
nent engineers was held, under the di
recton of the government, with the re
sult that a large dam was determined
on, to enclose the watershed of the val
ley which drains into the sea south of
Bombay. This gigantic structure, de
signed and accomplished by the su
