Scarlet Fever-MOdes of Proven.
 tiOn.

Quite lately the Michigan board of health issued a circular in reference to the restriction and prevention of scar let fever, believing that by proper pre- caution epidemics of this kind can be easily prevented.
 They set out with the proposition that scarlet fever is now believed to be one of the most contagious diseases, and requires as careful treatment of the patient and of hls excretions as in cas- es of smallpox, like which, also, ii has a period of incubation of from one to fourteen days.
 The first precaution is the isolation of the sick from the well, and the pre- veniion of contact with the patient. The room should be cleared from all unnecessary cI thing, carpets or other substances in bich the poison may turk and be tli nee transferred else where. The patti nt should use rags in place of handkerchiefs, so that they may be burned Body and bed linen should be placed in vessels of water containing chloride of lime or similar substance. Discharges should be re ceived in a solution of sulphate of iron or copper, and afterward buried. Per sons recovering from thls disease should be considered dangerous as long as there IS any scaling of the skin, sore ness of the eyes, etc. Many other pre- cautions are inculcated, all of which are considered more or less important

Mars Seen Through a Telescope.


 Mars is now a superb object seen through the telescope. A fiery ball of glowing red seemed suddenly to spring into existence as the planet entered the field of vision In size it approached that of the full moon when high up in the heavens, while such was the bright ness and fierceness of its rays that we involuntarily sought to shade our eyes from the glare. At first we saw noth- ing but brilliant flame-colored disc. it's circumference aglow with prismat- ic hues. As we observed more careful ly, the ice-bound circles came as plain ly into view as the well-known features of the man in the moon on our own lumInary. A still more careful scruti- ny revealed the presence Of dusky spots on the beaming disc. These indicate the land, which Is of a reddish hue when the planets atmosphere is clear, while the lighter parts of d greenish hue mark the contour of the seas and oceans. Thus with our own eyes we saw land. water and ice on the surface of our Marian neighbOr, and had view of its ruddy disc, which, after few weeks have passed, will not be equalled in size and brilliancy until 1892 Though Jupiter, with is brilliant belts and sparkling moons. is a grander telescop- ic object, and Saturn, with its won drous ring system and numerous moons, exceeds in beauty every sight in the ce- lestial picture gallery, yet we obtain a better view, and on a larger scale, of Mars than of any other object in the heavens except the moon. It is proba- ply the only planet whose real surface IS ever visible, for Venus, though the most splendid of all planets 10 the na- ked eye, is, on account of its great lus- tre, unsatisfactory for telescopic obser- vation, while Jupiter and Saturn are surrounded by cloud envelops of i'm mense extent that hide the solid DOT tions from the eyes. Mars, then, for a month to come, will afford unusual fa- cilities for observation, beautiful to the naked eye, and magnificent beyond de- scription when revealed by the far-see- ing eye that pierces the depth of space Providence, R.

 A party of gentlemen, including Gov. Hoyt. ex-GOv.

The Sewers.

An seed Is In the sOwer's hsnds-"-Rossetti. Ten thousand sewers through the land Passed needless on their way; Ten thousand seeds in every hand
 or every sort had they. They cast seed here, they cast seed there, They cast seed everywhere. The land e forest straightway grew,
 With plants of every kind; And kindly fruits, and poisonous too, In that wood could you find; For trees grew here, and trees grew there, And trees grew everywhere. Anon, as many year went by,
 Those sewers came once more, And wandered meath the leafhid sky, And wondered al the store. For fruit hung here, and fruit hung there And fruit hung everywhere. Then plucked they many a berry bright, None could their right deny; And some ate to their long delight,
 And some ate but to die; While some plucked here, and som,
 plucked there,
 And some plucked everywhere Nor knew they In that tangled wood
 The trees that were their own; But as they plucked as each one should, Each plucked what he had sown. So do men here, so do men there, So do men everywhere.

It Is cage, or double eel, for Maricopa county Each cell is 1l5 by 10 feet, all made of wrought iron 12 by 2 inches, and riveted Tn all directions with B rivets The hinges of the doors especially demand attention, being an invention or MT.

what Killed Ben De Bar.

Ben. De Bar died of brain disease; but what produced the brain disease The doctors bring in their ready-made answer: CverwOrk" It Is always easy to say this; It is a sort of rebuke ful compliment But we doubt if Mr, De Bars ovcrwork had anything to do with his brain disease. Several years ago MT. De Bar, finding his hair turn ing gray, resOrted to the use of g pow erful mixture to restore 1t to its origt nal color. A preparation of lead was one of the strongest ingredients in the composition He was warned at the time that the stuff, if used for any length of time, would be apt to affect his brain; but he gave no heed to the warn ing and continued the Use of the restOr alive. l. is quite probable that if the brain had been closely examined dur ing the autopsy, traces of the poison used in the manufacture of the haIr dye would have been found.-St Louis Globe.

Cattle Plague.

CLEVELAND, September 12-A cattle plague, thought to be species of the Texas fever, has broken out among cat tie in the surrounding country. Texas cattle this year are covered with ticks of two varieties, the bite of which is poisonous to the blood. Many cattle are dying daily. Several cases of children having been poisoned by drinking of infected milk have already come to the knowledge of the city physicians Beef is affected by the disease but can be easily detected by experts. The disease is said to be very infectious. A veteri- nary surgeon who has treated about forty cases says the symptoms with COWS are, first, the failing off of about half the yield of milk, then bloody passages of urine, and, in few hours, death.

THE 11th and 18th were somewhat remarkable days. Very heavy rains occurred at various places throughout Arizona; a heavy thunder storm and clOud-burst took place on the Colorado Desert on the line of the railway near Pilot Knob; four inches of snow fell at Eureka, Nevada and heavy rains fell in Oregon and other portions O. the Pacific coast, The Los Angeles Re publican says the Colorado cloud-burst washed away one large and two small culverts, together with about 400 feel of track. From all accounts, the oc- .currence must have been one of terrific grandeur. The waters flooded, at one time, nearly seven miles of track, wash ing out little here and there The westbound train was delayed about fifteen hours, but the train bound for Yuma arrived there only three hours behind time.

THE valley of the Little Colorado bears evidences of having once been a timbered country, but at present there is nothing but large prairie, covered with good and nutritious grasses of va rious qualities. On the lower part of the river there is no timber, but at the head of the stream there Is an abun- dance of firewoOd, such as pinon and cedars, and also some cOttonwOOds. The evidences of there having been plenty of timber in the Little Colorado are the large number of petrified logs which abound, some Tn pieces fully five feet long, and one which saw was ten feet in circumference-Cor.

Action on Timber DepredatIOns.

At a Cabinet meeting on the 4th in stant, the Secretary of the Interior pre- sented a lengthy statement regarding the depredations on Government tim
 Der lands. and the Attorney General delivered an opinion as to the Federal jurisdiction in the premises, and also as to the power of the government to prosecute the trespassers. 4 lengthy discussion followed, concerning which Secretary Schurz refused 10 say any thing, stating that the matter required further consideration, and would be made public in a few days. About 96,000 logs have been seized in the lower Mississippi, and certain large saw-mllls, as a consequence, have dis charged their men and are idle. They have been lately trying to get the logs released by giving bonds for their full worth, but the Secretary f4vors selling them at auction to the highest bidder
 We have very closely observed the course pursued by government on this timber business, and so far actions have been commenced in cases where in the timber was regarded as of 'com- mercial value "a term used in the late legislation of Congress. Just what kinds of timber come within this def milton, has not yet, we believe, been decided either by the Department or courts; but it would seem that only those kinds which are valuable enough to be exported long distances from the place of growth, and find a ready sale in commercial towns and seaports for other uses than fuel, are meant We doubt if lhe scrub oak, mesquite and like trees would be held to come with in the meaning of the term as used in the law - commercial value" But strictly speaking, all trees are timber and therefore any that stand upon lands of the United States cannot be lawfully cut or used by individuals
 Yet owing to the absolute necessity for timber for local uses, we cannot think that government will attempt prosecutions for taking it until after it shall have been offered for sale or be placed in a condition to be bought either with or without the land.

WAsHINGToS, September 13-Secre- tary Schurz states that in his investi- gation into thg timber depredations, which have been enormous, he has thus far secured most satisfactory re- suits Thus far in Minnesota aDd Lou isiana he has accomplished all that he expected, and will save finally in net results many thousands of dollars to rhe government. This has been main. ly accomplished by entirely stopping the plan of compromise heretofore carried out by arranging with the par ties who have been detected in steal ing and selling it Co them at a compro mise price. He now, instead ot com promising at a loss Co the government will exact the highest market price and thus make them, he says, lose la- bor, al least, as a penalty.
