 'Tis said the potato Is a native of Peru, from which place it was introduced into Europe. That may be so, but we know that is ii = also a native of Arizona. In Yavapai county. north oI the Little Col orado river, there Is a valley some ten mles in length, where potatoes are found growing wild. The valley is north of the Moqui villages, and west of the Navajo reservation. The Navajo Indians collect large quantities of the root, which they
  prize highly as an article of food. The Datural murphy" is found at from six to eight inches below the surface. The Indians use a sharp pointed stick in digging iC ont. It attains the size of q large walnut, and bears a slight resem- blanee, in taste, to the domestic potato. No doubt the wIld potato of Yavapai is in all respects the same as the Peruvian germ. from which has sprung the palat- able article of food so popular in every country.

 fire Italian Mirror reports that in Bombay, m Bengal, and in the Punjaub especially, the number of widow-mar- riages Is becoming yearly larger. Madras, though comparatively behind other Pres iGenCies and Provinces, has also begun to show singns of stirring in the same direction. As intelligence spreads over a wider area" says "The Mirror" "the good sense of the races protesting and practising the Hindu religion will con- vince them of the injustice and unnatural cruelty of the practice which, by exclud- ing young widows from the privilege of marriage has higherto been attended with such demoralizing results. We hope, therefore, that the day will soon come when wIdow-marriage will be a re- cognIzed institution among Hindus The signs of the times are cheering, and in- dicatiye of the fast approach of a reform which will, in our opinion, operate tU purity and raise the tone of native so- CIety."

RediscOyery OF a Lost Mine.

Fifteen years ago-almost an age in q
frontier town, to Judge from the progress
made in that period of time-Mr- Isaac
Goldberg, p. w. Dooner, and others,
made prospecting trip to the Santa
CataliHas after fabulous gold mines that
were supposed to exist somewhere
amoRg the summit peaks of that rocky
and slmost inaccessible range. To reach
the higher portions it was necessary to
take a circuitous route and ascend from
the side opposite Tucson. In exploring
the dizzy heights and dismal canyons
the party lost their bearings and wan
dered about the mountains for several
days, until their provisions were about
exhausted, and I'm their uncertain
wanderings discovered huge ledge of
very fine copper ore. At that remote
period of time copper mines were not
thought to be very valuable, and but
little attention was paid to the accidental
discovery, and its location was not
accurately observed. The party made
their way out of the mountains with a
rapidity accelerated by the pangs of
hunger, and congratulated themselves
more upon safe return to this city
than upon the results contingent upon
their discoveries. They, however, made
four or five subsequent attempts to find
the copper ledge so curiously discovered,
but always with uniform want of success,
and the nine days. tiresome wandering
of the previous trip were set down as
barren of all profit. . ...
Very recently Mr.. Isaac Goldberg
made up aparty, including a number of
the former explorers, and started out
with a determination to find the lost
ledge at all hazards. They were more
fortunate this time than before, and sue
ceeded in rediscovering the bonanza,
which is but thousand feet from the
mountain stream which below the
mountains is called Rillito Creek, and
but fifteen miles in a straight line from
Tucson, although eighty miles by the
only feasible trail. The groupings
brought in were very rich, and average
specimens gave by assay over thirty
per cent. copper. The ledge is said to
be enormously wide, with strong end
bold groupings. Old miners who have
heard the particulars of the find and
have seen the ore say that it is the most
important discovery ever made in the
vicinity of Tucson, and its value to the
owners is beyond computation. The
romance of its original discovery and
the subsequent search for it have woven
an interest about the mine that will be
as lasting as the wonderful lode itself

Feeding and Digestion.

DR.. G. Augustin Bowen, Woodstock,
Conn, at the annual meeting last week
of the Massachusetts Board of Agrcul-
ture, said on the subject Of winter feed
ing and digestion that animal waste
varies with the species and the individ-
nal, the active deer requiring q much
greater amount of food than the slug
gish bear; the young of all animals
need also more than the mature. The
blood, muscles, and fatty portions of
the body may be increased or affected
by the kinds of food consumed. The
rearing of queen bees from ordinary
eggs by special feeding is an illustration
of the influence different foods may ex-
ert. Milk comes nearest being uni
versal perfect food its large proper
ton of water gives freedom of motion
to all the atoms which make up the
structure; the casein supplies the mus
Gle and increases growth; the sugar
aids combustion, keeping the body
warm; the fat lubricates and prevents
friction, and the lime builds up bone
Salt is q necessary constituent of food,
but the quantity required is very small
Oilmeal is a cheap heat and fat-produc-
inc food, and should be better appre-
ciated in this country. One rule of
feeding will not apply to all animals
The stomach of the horse is small (only
half the relative size of that of mani,
and it must be supplied often and in
small quantities. Liberal watering i'm
mediately after eating is wasteful. as it
washes the food along too rapidly for
perfect digestion. The cows stomach
is capacious and complicated, and de-
signed for storing large quantities Of
food Frequent feeding here becomes
unnecessary, and may cause imperfect
digestion. Twice day is often enough
to feed cattle; coarse food remains in
the large stomach from twelve to thirty
hours before it is remasticated. Never
let any animal become cloyed by over
feeding, as it is slow and difficult
trouble to cure Pigs make a better
use of their food if It is given often
three or four times a day. The diges-
tive power in all animals is strong, and
coarse fodder may all be utilized if fed
with other and richer food in due pro-
portion. Calves do best to suck the
cow as the saliva is then better mixed
with the milk. By all means feed ami
mails regularly and well, and don't have
too many feeders.-M Y. Tribune.

"A valuable paper on arsenic poison
ing was recently read before the So
ciety of Arts, London, by DIR. Carr, an
eminent chemist. Limiting his atten-
ton to poisonous materials used in
manufactures and allowed to remain in
the finished goods, the author treated
the subject as affecting both the public
and the trades. The principal offenders
put on their trial are the arsenical pig
ments in wallpapers, arsenical dyes in
cotton fabrics, such as curtains, chintz,
tarletans, ETC., in artists water colors
and common paint, poisonous colors
busted on in photographic printing and
in tin-plate work. Poison is also intro
duced in artificial flowers, lamp-shades,
tiy-papers, cardboard boxes and labels
The allegation that the deleterious
character of the pigments in question
has been much exaggerated DR.. Carr
meets with an imposing array of medi-
cal testimony.
