Meerschaum


The crude meerschaum comes. from
Kiltschik and Esk-Schehr in Anatobia,
in Asia Minor, where it is found loose or
embodied in chalky, serpentine rocks.
In size it varies from the dimensions of
3 walnut to that of a mans head. When
it is first mined it is soft, but it becomes
hard when exposed to the air. In it's
virgin state it cracks very easily. The
business Of mining and marketing
meerschaums is entirely under the con
troll Of Armenians. They are shrewd
traders, and can discount a vender of
wooden hams and nutmegs at his own
trade. For self protection buyers have
insisted on the putting of the raw pro-
duct into marketable shape, 50 that
some idea Of the value Of the goods can
be ascertained N sight. The crude
blocks Of meerschaum are, therefore,

Cattle Kings.

Mr.. Orr, of Pohldexter & Orr, stock
men ofBeaverhead county, is in the city.
He has just returned from Fort Calgary
where he delivered to the Cocarane
ranch company a band Of cattle number
ing 1890. Mr.. Orr informs us that the
drive was q very easy and soccessfulon one
until they reached a point about twelve
miles from the Cochrane ranch, where
they struck q severe snow storm, and
were delayed some eight days. 1t re-
,quired most diligent work to keep the
band fresh stampeding, and he cannot
look back with any great degree of
pleasure to his experience those eight
days. During the drive, which was a
long one, probably 800 miles, only q
comparatively few head of cattle were
lost. A number of the horses taken
.along developed sore feet, which resulted
in seaving SEINE of them Ly the wayside,
and q few died.
Msessrs. Paindextcr a. Orr are the
Weaithiest stockmen in Montana, and
besides the large band ssld this winter,
they aaye left on their ranches in Bea-
verhead county a large herd Of cattle,
and Also Of fle finest bands Of horses
in the territory, and any number of
sheep. They fence their ranges, and
conduct t~he,busiaess something after the
manner that it III done in Texas. Mr.
Orr is well pleased with Northern Mon
tana as q stock cosantry, and it will not
surprise @s if he is numbered with the
citizens .ef Choteau county ere long.

A New Enterprise.

We understand that Mike Lynch is

holding four or five persons, which he
intends to suspend from the ferry cable
for the purpose Of transferring passen-
gers a1ad mail across the river this Win

is an incline to the cable from this side,
and AR. Lynch Intends to let the cage

rope. The inciine is slight but just suf-
ficent, and, running on pulleys, the

The Centre Of Population.

The centre of population in the United
States was twenty-five miles from Balti-
more in 1890, and has moved westward
at the average rate Of about fifty-one
miles every decade, never deviating to
the extent of a degree north Or south of
the tairty-ninth parallel. The greatest
progress was between the years $4,000,
when it travelled eighty-one miles from
q point in Virginia to twenty mile,
south of Chilicothe. Ohio. This move
ment vas caused by the settlement Of
the Pacific coast. The centre of popula-
ton i'll 1870 was forty-eight miles north
east of Cincinnati. According to the last
census, the centre had advanced west
ward fifty-eight miles, and detected to
the south about eight, being near the
village of Taylorsville, KY, ABOUT eight
miles from Cincinnati. It is anticipat-
ed that the next census will find it in
Jennings county, Indiana. Surprising
the westward movement Of population
to continue, the central point should
cross the Mississippi about 1850 not far
from the mouth Of the Missouri. It is
considered probable, however, that it
w%illsnever go SO for westward, as there
are large areas in the west which are
only adapted for mining and grazing
pursuits, and will support but a scanty
population. The increase in the region
beyond the Mississippi, after the close
OF the present century, may not 1auch
more than counterbalance that of the
rest of the country, in which case the
centre Of population will remain almost
stationary in southern Illinois.

be because that road must transport 8

virtue Of Its Denver and South Park

and naturally the latter would
prefer the Burlington and Santa Fe

one would be able to speak for the Den

meeting on this subject had already been
held and it was quite generally under
stood that the Denver and Rio Grande

not ove twenty feet high. Tnefowers

fruit, and mace is the thin covering
we the seed. The fruit is about as
large as a peach. When ri e it breaks

The trees grow on the island of Asia
and tropi al America. They bear fruit
for seventy or eighty years, having
ripe fruit upon them all the seasons.

Dreams.
Their Nature and Cause from a Scientific
Standpoint.


Dreams are night-thoughts, uu-
checked by the Judgment and uneon-
trolled by the will. 1t is not true that
we do not reason in dreams, that exer-
else Of the judgment is wholly sus-
pended, and that the will is entirely
powerless or ceases to act. These
faculties are not altogether in allegiance,
but they doze while the subordinate
powers of the mind-those which
play the part Of picture carriers and
reeord-fnders-ransack the treasures
of memory, and mingle together in
the direst confusion old things and
new. Imagination is not active, but
1t remains just enough awake to sup
ply the connecting links which give
seeming continuity to those parts Of
the phantssmagoria which we chance
to remember on recovering perfect
self-cousciousness, and which, being
remembered, we call Dreams" No
n remembers more than one dream,
unless he has reused from sleep more
than once. This had led to the Infer
ence that dreams only occur at the
moment o in the act of awaking.
There are dreams which take place in
the process of returning to conscious
example, those instantaneous
scenes and sp~ectacles which are sug-
by the sound or feeling that
rouses the dreamer but as the result
Of a long and close study of the sub
ject with a view to discover the nature
Of dreams and the laws of dreaming,
medical purposes, in connection
with the treatment of sleeplessness,
[ am persuaded that dreams occur in
the course OF sleep and are wholly for
That they do not and cannot take
place in deep sleep is probable, be-
cause deep sleep is general sleep, and
when this state prevails the subordi-
tate faculties are sleeping, and the
pictures and records which compose
ireams are not disturbed. To under
Itand dreams we must understand

have not hitherto been studied
