Lint Weed .

This weed, OF shrub, is found in the
valleys of Northern Arizona, and it may
prove of interest to some of our readers
TO know what 1t is good for. The stalk
grows to & height of from two to four feet;
the leaf is Of light green color and re-
sembles that of The wild cherry in shape.
Growing from the roots, near the stalk, is
a very fine fibre, about an inch IN length.
II grows from all around the root and
covers about an inch in length OF the
same. At little distance of, it looks
like punches of fine hair growing from
roots. 1t is light brown in color, and
finer than the finest silk. The indians,
and those of the whites who know its
falue, generally carry it about with them
to be used in case OF need. 1t makes eX-
cellent lint, as it is very efficient in stop
ping the flow of blood, sticks wen TO the
wound (not easily washed off and con-
tains healing properties that are almost
rlarvelous-Entcrprise.

The Sage Palm :

The California Desert, to the
west of US, is sure to be utilized
in the cultivation of Palms and
similar plants. The following by
Mr.. F. Willis, may be of some IN
tereat in this connections:
Sagus laeyis and Sagus Runiphii alias
IAety'oay7on R,mpha,, are the two Palms
from which the Sago of commerce is prin-
cipally obtained, although il is also pro:
duced by the Phoenix farnifera (ndigen-
Gus to India) and in the isle of Java, from
the Coryptd Gibonga, it is also obtained
from the Cd,Wota Ureas, but of an inferior
quality, and other Cycadaeeg.
Tie word Sagu or Sago, in the IarGdage
of the Papuans, III whose countries the
trees are indigenous, means bread. The
tree grows to the height of 30 or 50 feet,
is erect and has very rough bark, occa'
stoned 10y the old fronds or leaves dying
away The leaves are about five feet in
length and appear only at the top of the
tf@e, forming very graceful cone, out of
the center of which, alternately branched,
pyramidal flower spikes appear, enveloprd
by smooth sheaths. The tree flowers
when about the age OF fifteen years, AMI
the fruit is abut three years ripening, and
when maturity is reached the tree almost
Immediately dies.
The .Sagits looiS and SaguS Rumphi are
sociable plants, growing together in mass
es, principally in swampy places.
To obtain the greatestam0unt Of Sage,
the tree should be cut down as soon rs the
flower spike makes its appearance.
The Sago of commerce is prepared from
the soft inner portion of the trunks of
tlIese two species. It is obtained by.cut-
ting the trunks into pieces about two feet
long, The pieces being then split in half
and the soft substance scooped out and
pounded in water until the starchy mat
ter separates, when it is allowed to drain
off with the water and settle, and is after
wards purified by washing. 1t is then in
the form of sago mes:l; but before being
sent to this country it is made into what
is termed pearl-sago. This is dofle by a
Chinese process and carried on principally
in Singapore. The rough meal is first re-
peatediy washed and strained and spread
out to dry and broken into small pieces,
-~lich VIXEN sufficiently dried are pounded
aLi sifted until they are are of a regular
size. Small quantities are then placed in
a large cloth bag and suspended from the
wall or ceiling and shaken backwards and
forwards for the space of ten minutes,
when it becomes granalated or pearl&d.
1t is then thoroughly dried and packed
for shipment.

4 CAMEL ranch is owned by David
Mather, of Bastrop, Texas. He clai,us
that camels are no more trouble to raise
than horses or cattle The colts for three
or four days are rather tender, and re-
quire close attention, but after that they
take their chances with the herd. They
are verv docile, aud as the females give
birth to g colt every year, they are profit
able, the animals selling when reared
from 500 to $500 each. Mr.. Mather says
that well-broken camel will travel more
than one hundred miles a day.

THE following may be of interest TO
parties who contemplate cutting the wild
hemp which grows go abundantly along
the Colorado river:
Lcfebure's method Of removing the ex-
tractive and gummy matters from hemp
and iax Goes away with rot-steeping,
which is SO noxiouS in flax growing dis
tricts. The outer coating is removed by
a machine. The flax is then subjected to-
a bath of soda, where the gum is re-
moved without any injury to the fibre,
after the lapse of from two to five hours.
Flax or hemp thus treated is finer, stronger
and more regular than that made from
the same raw material by the putrefactjon
plaD.

Railroad Progress.

Those sour-faced prognosticators OF evil
who have been predicting against the
commencement of work on the eastern
extension of the Southern Pacific, must
certainly feel q thrill of exquisite pleasure
ut the vigor ana push shown by the COM
pgny.
Some 500 men are now at Eork east OF
Yuma, and they are grading, tieing, and
track laying at the rate of a half mile per
dav. More men, horses, carts wagons
and the machinery necessary to more
vigorous prosecution of the work are con-
stantly going forward, and it seems that
only couple of years can elapse before
we shall see the great tide OF trans
continental travel and traffic flowing
ceaseiessly through our lovely valley.
In this connection it may be well TO
mention the rumor that reaches our ears
in relation TO the "Mojave cutoff As is
well known, this "eut-off" is short hne
almost directly north from here, via the
Caion Pass, to or near Mohdve Station.
This station is only about seventy miles
from here by this direct line, while it is
ninety miles can therefore be made be-
tween this and all eastern points and San
Francisco, and the road is free from all
tunnels, enabling the trains to run faster
than by the present route, via Los Ange-
les ard San Fernando.
so much for explanation. The rdmor
is to the effect that the Railroad Company
expect that hot weather VIII overtake
tnem before they can get out of the heat
ed regions of Erizona. Should this be
the case, they win be obliged to take
their white laborers elsewhere, as, during
this term, it is dangerous TO white men
to attempt severe manual labor in Che sun.
To avoid the expense of transporting
them to San Francisco and Keeping them
there two or three months, they will
bring them here and set them at work
upon this cutoff THIS they can easily
finish before going back to the front, and
the Railroad Company will then save $50
miles OF travel on every round trip be-
tween Arizona and San Francisco-no in
considerable item with coal at twelve
dollars per ton.
To be sure, this leaves Los Angeles
practically on on a side track, and trans

commerce and competition demand that
goods and passengers be carried the

This whole valley such as we have never
before seen. and for which We shall be
wholly indebted to the Southern Pacific
Railroad. When that time comes this

Michael Reese, the deceased miser OF
San Francisco, was q slave trader at one
period of his career, and made much
money out of the traffic. His apologists
seem to overlook the Significance of that
fact in forming Judgment of his charac
ter. The wealth am assed by him amount
ed to seven or eight millions, large part
being the most valuable real estate in the
California metropolis. He made q dozen
fortunes in his lifetime, and was a dozen
times, by the bankruptcy of others, by fire,
and by shipwreek, reduced to beggary.
A bachelor, he lived for maay years q soli-
tary life in O email and meanly furnished
apartment in one of his own buildings, but
Of late had quarters with an acquaintance
in Q suburban village, 80 as to evade city
taxation on his personal property. His
business office, in which negotiations in
volvipg millions were conducted, was a
email room hardly large enough for Chi
nese cigar shop. In habits, dress, and
manner he was a miser, bat he was aware
of it, and dispsssionstely protested that he
couldn't belp it, because 1T was disease
with him: On the other band, be said that
he would some day do good with the money
he was amsssipg. He often talked of the
bequests be would make to charitable uses,
aud made numerous Wills, to none of which
he called she aid of q lawyer but in view
of his wealth aud of his many hints and
promises he has done very little good with
hiS money. Less than three hundred
thousand goes to public uses, while the
millions 90 to relatives.
