1t is recorded somewhere in sacred his
tory that certain rich man, who had en-
tered into the reward promised from the
beginning, found himself on the wrong
side of the fence. Indeed. so warm had
been his reception that he is said to have
lifted up his voice in supplcation to one
who had been so poor during his life that
the crumbs from the rich mans table
had been a luxury to hlr and all he
prayed for was one drop Of water. Our
little town has been SO often compared to
the CD lace Of torments" that we take this
method Of citing few of the more glar-
ing differences. Yamates do not con-
slider themselves very much below the
rest of mankind in matters pertaining to
gastr0numy, and instead of calling for
water alone, have d due appreciation Of
lemonade and such things. Had Dives
been co slant reader of Northern Arr
IONA news papers, aud been allowed 10
choose between hades and Yuma, the for
mer would have been his choice; but We
want now to say TO these same papers,
that Yuma is no longer dependent on the
outside world for even "a little sour. !"
The impression has been too long allowed
t. stand that the soil of Yuma WIS per-
lectly barren Some few efforts have
en- made by our people to prove the
contrary, notably Mr.. VIM. TOnge and
Mrs. Judge Alexander, and they have
both been eminently successful In the
latter's garden we saw bananas and to-
matoes growing vigorously, without pro-
tee ton, and also orange and lemon trees
with as thrifty look as can be found in
Los Angeles. These things in them
selve may be trifgs, but they show the
possibilities; and for the care expended
the result is highly gratifying.

Now the charm. of the North have all fad

And its rarest of beauties are wither'd and
dead;
And that dreary' cold realm is in winters

While the Summer smiles blandly on
Southland's fair face.
While its landscape is buried deep down
in the Snow,
The warm, genial South is with beauty
aglow!
And methinks tnat we hear in each shiv-
ring sigh,
we begrudge you the joys of your sunny,
warm skyi"
But bear well your cola burden and joy

For Summer'll return Ger the highway of

Of the North's Springs and Autumns but
little We know,
Save your gleanings in Fall what in
Spring time you sow.
That these Seasons are time-ways-Chan-
nels of time
That kind Summer is touring from elm e
back TO lime,
That between these sleeps Winter, all
frozen and drear,
Forsaken by Summer-proud Queen of the

And if Earth has but one unnaistdkGbLe

TidingS From the Arctic.

A FRANCISCO, Cal, October 1.-The
whaling schooner R. B. Handy, Captain
Winants, arrived to-day FROM the Arctic.
She brought down Captain Clifford and the
crew of the whaler Daniel Webster, crushed
by the ice near Point Barrow. Captain Gif-
ford confirms the report contained in a cable
gram published in the New York Herald. of
September 21st, that the natives had seen a
wrecked ship far to the eastw ard and that
four white men were among the natives. The
conversation between Clifford and the natives
was conducted principally by signs, and was
difficult to be understood from the signs
made. These men were either dead or sick
IS the NATIVES in speaking of thep indicates
their condition by placing their heads N the
ground in the attitude, of sleep or death.
There is a similarity in the narrative to that
OF the Siberian Esqumaux relative to the
drifting wreck Of the Vigilant. The number
of bodies correspond, but the distance be-
tween the two locations is so great as to make
it impossible to the minds OF whal-rs that the
two stories apply to the same vessel. Capt
Winants, in a letter to tn. Bulletin, advances
The theory that the Jeanette has soug',t a
northeastern passage around North America,
and mentions as d thread of evidence lead
ing that way, that the Indian who reported
to Capt. Giffard a wreck to the eastward pro-
duced a new brass kettle, which he said had
come from that wreck. The kettle was as
new and bright as though just from the store
having on it the makers name and place of
manufacture, which the Captain thinks was
Waterbury, Mass, but he has lost the note
he had made of it. No whale ships have
been in the vicinity of Point Barraws for the
last two years., and it would seem that if ma.
lives had obtained such an article in trade
from a ship they would have made use of it,
for soon after the native brought it to Point
Barrows he traded it oft and it Vas immedi.
ately in use.

How She Cured Him Of Swearing

The husband of a certain Nashville lady
was, before his maria. e. a furious swearer
Through his wife's influence he left off his
bad habit, except one favorit- cuss word,
which chung to him under all circumstances,
and which to the annoyance Of his good wife,
he would uncorsciously use everywhere-the
word slamn." Several months since, he
arose one cold morning, before the servant
came III To make the wood fire, and after a
long effort and fruit!ess burning of many
matches, turned and said, ''Sallie, this damn
lire won't burn" To this, the good wife
earnestly said, "Yes, the dalnn wood is too
green, and the damn servant has forgotten TO
J ri lg up any damn kindling wood to start
he damn fire with" He looked at his wife
in absolute dismay, but at once saw the
point and said nothing. A longer period
than usual passed without the favorite eXple-
tive being used, but later on he wanted a
basket and said, after looking for it, 'SalIie,
where has the damn basket got to ?" The
wife quietly, as if putting a child to sleep,
said "Ask the damn cook to get the damn
b~asket--damn her, she keeps it," As before,
he said nothing, but months have passed, and
if be damns anything it is not where she is.
She says it was ike taking quinine, and she
always went and washed out her mouth after
wards, but he is cured.

How Long Man May Live.

- ,sE8E&PI
1t wasPsossssor Hufeland's opinion thas
the limit 4 pessible human life might be set
down 1t es0yeArs; aud this on the general
principle haS the life Of q creature is eight
times the pears of It's period Of growth. h
which quickly forms quickly p~erishes, and the
earlier complete development is reached the
sooner bodily decay ensues. More women
reach old sge than men, but more men attain
re rkable longevity than women. Some
animals grow to be very old. Horned AMI
mails live shorter lives than those without
hons, fierce longer than timid. and amphibl-
Gus longer than those that inhabit the air.
The voracious pike exists, it is sail, 10 an
age Of $50 years the turtle is good for loo
years or more, and among birds the golden
eagle is known to have lived nearly 200 years
while the sly and scmbre crow reaches the
venerable age of = century. Passing up II
the scale of life to man. and skipping the pa
lriarchs We find many recorded instances OF
longevity among the classic Greeks and Ro-
mans Pliny notes that in the reign Of the
Emperor Vespasian, in the Year. 10, there
wore l24 men living in the limited area be-
tw -en the Apennines and the Pc OF 100 years
and upward, three Of whom were 14s and
four over 1875. Cicero's wife lived 10 the age
of lOS, and the Roman actress, Lucejs, played
in public a. late As her 18th year. Coming
downto more recent times, the most notable
authentic Instance Of great age Is that OF
Henry Jenkins Of Yorkshire, England, who
died in 1910, l69 year, old. He was a fisher
man, AMI at the age of 100 easily swan
across rapid rivers. Another historic case is
that of Thomas Parr of Shropsh re, = ,tay la
borer, who lived to the age of l52 years.
When more than 12O be married his second
wife, and till 100 he could swing the scythe
AMI WELD the fail with the best Of his fellow
loborers. In his 152nd year Parr went up TO
London t, exhibit himself to the king. IL
proved an unlucky visit. for, violating the alb
stemious habit of a century and a hal t, the
old man Toasted so freely Of the royal vic
tuals that he soon died merely of a plethora.
On examination his internal organs proved to
be in excellent condition, and there was no
reason why he should not have lived much
longer save for his unfortunate taste of royal
hospitality. Professor Hufe land roll of
centenarians includes many more remarka-
ble cases.
