The DRESS OF CHILDREN. Now that winter
is approaching, it behooves parents more
than ever to see that their children are
clothed in such manner as to protect them
from the inclemency and sudden changes of
the weather. The chief cause of infantine
mortality, in addition to foul air, or too rich
or too poor food, is the false pride of many
mothers. Children are killed by the manner
in which they are dressed as certainly as by
any other cause. In our changeable climate
children of the most tender age are left with
bare arms and legs, and with low-necked
dresses. The mothers, in the same dress,
would shiver and suffer with cold, and
expect fit of sickness as the
result of their culpsble careless
ness. And yet the mothers could en-
dJWe such treatment with far less danger to
health and life than their tender infants can.
A moments reflection will indicate the effects
of this mode of dressing, or rather want of
dressing, on the child. The moment the cold
air strikes its bare arms and legs, the blood
is driven from these extremities to the inter
nal and more vital organs The result is con-
gestion, to greater or less extent, of those
organs. In warm weather the heat will bring
on affections of the bowels, and this mode of
dressing may be reckoned one of the chief
causes of summer complaints. But in cold
weather congestion and Inflammation of the
brain and lungs are the result. 1t is painful
to see children thus dressed like victims for
sacrifice.

Aztec Ruins I'm New Mexico.

A telegram from Sante Fe, New Mexi-
co, of August 23d, says: "The Colorado
Canyon explored last year by Major Powell,
BIDS fair to be rivaled by other canyons
and mountains not heretofore known. Gov.
Army, the indefatigable special Indian
agent for this Territory has lately return
ed from point north of the San Juan
county, reporting some of the most marvel.
Gus discoveries that have yet been made in
the great Sierra Madre Mountains. Hs
reports that during his tour to reach the
Utah Indians at the west San Juan River
his party found the Canyon de Chelly.
This was explored for more than 20 miles.
They report canyons whose walls tower
perpendicularly to an altitude of from
1000 to 1000 feet, the rock strata being
as perfect as if laid by the skilled hands Of
masons, and entirely symmetrical. Among
those canyons were found deserted ruins
of ancient Aztec cities, many of which
bear the evidence of having been popul-
Gus, to the extent Of many thousands Of
inhabitants. In one of these canyons the
rocky walls of whi,h h rose not less than
1000 feet from the base, and whose sum-
mits on either hand inclined TO each other,
forming part of an arch, there we're found,
high up hewn out of the rocks, the ruins of
Aztec towns of great extent, now tenant
less, and desolate In each of these rocky
eyries there remained in a state of good
preservation house of stone about 20 feet
square, containing one bare and gloomy
room, and single human skeleton In
the center of the room were the evidences
that fire at some time had been used.
The only solution of this enigma thus far
ventured, is that these solitary rooms were
the altar places of the Aztec fires; that
from some cause the people at remote
period were constrained to abandon their
homes; but left one faithful sentinel in
each instance to keep alive the fame that
according to the Indian tradition of these
regions, was to light the way of Monte
yuma again to his people-their hoped-for
Messiah and their Eternal King.

SURVEY OF PLAcRE CLAIMs.-The fol-
lowing letter gives very liberal rule for
the survey and subdivision Of ten acre lots
of mineral lands, and will be readily un-
derstood by surveyors and miners The
particular value is in the surveying Of
creek and canyon claims The case which
called for the ruling arose on Deer creek
just below Nevada City:
Hon. A. A. SARGENT, Washington City
Sir: 10 reply to your letter Of the 3lst of
August last, covering one from H. s. Brad
ley, deputy United States Surveyor, da-
ted the 18th Of the same moLth and year,
and addressed to yourself, l have the honor
to state as follows:
Circular instruction we're issued to Il e
United States Land Officers by this Office
on the 9Th August last, in relation to the
survey and entry of lode and placer claims
under the provisions OF the amendatory act
of Congress, granting the right of way to
ditch and canal owners over the public
lands, and approved July 9th, 1870, copy
of which is herewith inclosed.
1t will be perceived on the first page Of
the circular, that Surveyors General were
authorized to have the subdivision OF forty
acre legal subdivisions into ten-acre tracts
made when applied Tor by claimants, and
at their cost; and under the 23d head Of
the same circular, the Officers were in
formed that placer claimants desiring the
subdivision ofa quarter section, the service
may be performed by county and local sur
veyors, at the expense of the claimants, as
required by the 18th section of the amen
datory law. AS to the particular method
of subdividing legal subdivisions into IL
acre lots, bave to observe that they are
susceptible OF being subdivided either into
square lots of IL by l0 chains, or into lots
Of 5 by 20 chains, by running, measuring
and marking lines in the field due east aud
west, or north and south, through the legal
subdivisions desired to be subdivided into
IO acre lots, and in regard to which meth
I'd the Surveyors General have this dav
been instructed.
Very Respectfully,

Incident.

About halfpast IL o'clock yesterday,
says the Memphis Appeal of Monday, as
people were returning from church, lady
dressed in the very height of fashion, with
gorgeous Grecian bend of magnificent
proportions, trip d down Main street in
the most approved style, like cat treading
on eggs. Just as she reached, the corner
of Main and Jefferson streets, where the
''gentles most do congregate," newspaper,
neatly folded, slipped from under her skirts
and fell on the sidewalk. A polite "snack-
eril' saw it fall, and called out to her that
she had dropped sumthin," but she kept
her eyes fixed on vacancy, and moved
straigh ahead without appearing to hear
him. A few steps further another wad
fell 10 the same region, and there was a
diminution of the size of the hump on her
back. The boy yelled after her again, 81
say, Missis you're losin' all your papersp
The only sign of hearing him that she gave
was quickeniDg in her pace, as if she
was anxious to get away from those dig
gings rs soon as possible. A kind hearted
lady, who was walking behind her and un-
derstood the situation, at this moment
hurried up alongside and whispered to her
that she was losing her bend. This in
formation caused her to turn into friend
ly stairway near by to repair damages; but
just as she put her foot in the door, an
enormous bundle of papers, hundred or
so in number, dropped from beneath her
skirts and rolled on the balquette The
"mackeril, indignant at the treatment he
had received, and the apparent disdain
with which his polite attention had been
met. on this rushed forward, and sezing
the bundle Of papers, startled the Sabbath
stiffness on the streets with "Ere's your
extra! Latest from the seat of war !"
The lady, it is needless to say, didn't stop
to take an extra"

ject has been talked of for years, and there
is no doubt of its being feasible, the only
question is, will it pay2 One thing in its

THE PRUssIAN FLAG-The black, red
and gold flag, the National German one, is
said to come from the times of Barbarossa.
That Emperor was crowned in 1852 ruler
of Germany, in the Frankfort Cathedral
The way from the Dom to the Rome Pal
ace, where the public festivities where held,
was laid with carpet representing the
colors black, red and gold. After the
coronation the carpet was given to the peo.
pie, and everybody tried to cut Oft piece,
which was carried about the city as flag.
In the year llS4, at the Reichstag at
Mayence, these colors were recognized as
the true German ones, aud they were re-
tained until Napoleon put an end to the
empire in 1906. Siuce that time the Bur
schenschaften have kept the old colors in
memory. In the revolutionary yeaI 1913
the German colors were again brought to
light by the members of the National As
sembly at Frankfort. There was consider
able discussion at the time as to which col
or had the precedence Freilgrath said
"Powder is black blood is red, and golden
flickers the fame! That is the old imper-
ial standard" Frederick William III how
ever, was the author of the motto bearing
the meaning of the German standard
"From night, through blood. to light. =
The German national flag is now seen il
Germany instead of the flags of the seper
ate countries.

three o'clock in the afternoon, and absolu-

CARPETS SoURcE OF DIsEAsE.-We
have the authority of New York medical
journal of high reputation. for the state
ment that half the diseases incident to mod
ern humanity are attributable to carpets
Carpeted rooms, the writer says, contain
"millions OF PARTICLES of hair, cuticle, epl
theiium. ovules, fungi, and other organic
matter, which, set in motion BY the trail
ing skirts of the women, make the am
i've with infection, and fill our nostrils
and lungs with the seeds of e erythins

rible picture, we are not prepared to look
just yet, for the total discontinuance Of
carpets. People will probably sand the
