REBELS CAPTURE
MONTEREY CITY
Take Capital of Nuevo Leon After
Week’s Fighting—Thousand
Killed, Thousand Hurt.
Brownsville, Tex., Oct. 21.—
rebels yesterday captured the
town of Monterey after a week’s
lighting, in which over a thou
sand lost their lives and an equ
al number of men were wounded.
Monterey is the capital of Nu
evo. Leon and the federal troops
have fought for several months
to save the city, but were final
ly defeated yesterday when, after
severe fighting, which lasted a
week, the city was taken at the
point of the bayonet.
The dead are being burned in
the streets to prevent the spread
of disease, while the few prison
ers captured were soon executed
under the fugitive^ law, unless
they enlisted with’ the rebels,
which many of them did.

L. JONES.
JAPANESE SWIMMERS.
Experts That Can Almoat Literally
Walk Upon the Water.
It is a common practice for stu
dents of the universities and schools
of Japun to go to the seaside dur
ing the summer months and there j
train systematically. Regular courses j
of instruction in swimming are giv- j
en to those who wish for them. Mr. !
E. J. Harrison in “The Fighting j
Spirit of Japan” tells of some of
the feats performed by the expert j
swimmers.
lhe Japanese are fond of swim- j
ming, and among the younger gen- J
eration of students and the coast
population there are some splendid
long distance swimmers. Schools
of natation teach the art in a svs- |
tematic manner, and, although the
best racing records in Japan are
not equal to the western, a Japa
nese expert can perforin some tru
ly wonderful feats. For example,
he can jump into deep water and
maintain his position with the wa
ter no higher than the loins, while i
he (ires a musket or a bow and ar- j
row. writes on a slate, paints a ;
picture on a fan with a brush or j
moves freely in every direction as if |
be were walking on solid ground. j
The expert, while he rarely emu
lates the graceful high dive of the
European or American, can leap
from a great height and strike the
surface of the water with his chest
without sinking or wetting his face
and head. In some mysterious way
he contrives to escape the painful
consequences which the impact
would inevitably cause to the for- j
eigner who should try this feat. It ;
| is said that the old time samurai j
j frequently made use of this trick j
I when crossing a river or stream. In j
j such cases they carried their armor j
I and weapons on their heads.
In illustration of the antiquity of
| swimming in Japan it may interest
! foreign readers to be fold that the
! famous “crawl” stroke which ocei- j
| dental swimmers tirst acquired not j
! very long ago. has been known and ,
practiced in Japan for hundreds of |
years, in addition to several other
methods of progression in the water i
that would come as a revelation to j
Europeans and Americans.

The Scallop.
The scallop accomplishes locomo
i tion bv a series of leaps. When it
is alarmed or wishes to change its
| location it opens and energetically
! closes its valves, thus expelling the
water. The reaction shoots it back
ward. By this means the creature
I is able to travel long distances.
; Sometimes scallops make consider
: able journeys in large companies.
One can scarcely imagine a lovelier i
; sight than that of a flock of these j
; pretty creatures, with shell of every I
' hue from purple and white to black, !
j enlivened with shades of pink, yel- I
low and fawn, darting about in j
clear water. In their flightlike j
movements, vertical, horizontal and j
zigzag, they are more suggestive of j
a flock of winged animals than of j
bivalve nmllusks.
A Broad Hint.
Two gentlemen who were playing
I cards at a club recently were very
i much annoyed by other members
! who stood behind their chairs and
| interested themselves in the game, j
j Finally one of the players asked a
spectator to play the hand for him
until he returned.
The spectator took the cards,
I whereupon the first player left the
! room. Pretty soon the second
| player followed the example of the
j first. The two substitutes played
; for some time, when one of them
asked the waiter where the two orig
inal players were.
“They are playing cards in the
next room, sir.” was the waiter's re
ply.—London Saturday Journal.
Real Train Talk.
A lady of uncertain age went tc
the bureau of information at the
Grand Central station in New York
and asked when the next train left
for Boston and the answer she re
ceived was: “Twentv minutes to
11.”
She looked doubtfully at tilt' man
and went to one*of. the seats. In a
few minutes there was an exchange
of clerks. She promptly went to
the window and repeated her ques
tion. This time she was told that
the train left at “10:40.”
“There,” said she in triumph, “1
was sure that the other man didn’t
know.”—New York Sun.
Diacipline.
The rigor of discipline seems un
desirable to many in the present
generation. They are unaware that
obedience is strengthening and
peace giving. A military regime,
with its ironclad discipline, does not
break spirit. It makes men ready
for forced marches and to meet
death. If discipline hurt the hu
man spirit, then soldiers would nev
er win battles. Battles would be' ‘
won by mobs. Discipline does not
diminish life. It enhances life and
so confers a sense of peace.—Col
lier’* Weekly.
