MAGNIFICENT Distances iii Texas.

From the Gree. vile, (Texas) Banner.
The distance from Dallam county, in
the Texas Pan Handle to Brownsville,
at the mouth of the Rio Grande, is 800
miles but we can better realize how far
it is by saying that it is nearer from
Dallam county, Tex, to St. Paul,
Mimi, or to Bismarck, D. T.. or to He
lena, NJ. r., or to Salt Lake City, Utah,
than it is from Dallam county to
Brownsville, Tex. It is also nearer
from Brownsville to Guatemala in
Central America, than from Browns
vile to Dailam county. Again, it is
nearer from Liscomb county, Tex, to
st. Louis, than from the same county
to Galveston. And even Chicago and
Cincinnati are nearer to Texas than
Dallam county is to Brownsville. It
is further from Texarkana to Ell Paso
than from Texarkana to West
Virginia, old Virginia of North Carolina.
Suppose a gentleman should start from
Savannah, Ga, on the Atlantic, to look
at track of land at Ell Paso. After
travelling three days and nights on a
passenger train he might arrive at
Orange, Tex. Ofcourse when he put his
foot on Texas soil he would begin to
look around to see how he liked the
country, by way of deciding whether he
would buy the Ell Paso land or not.
But if told that he was not half way
from Havana to Ell Paso, he might turn
back discouraged, but such would be
the fact. Again, Texas wants deep
water at Galveston. But it is nearer
from Ell Paso, Tex, to the deep harbor
of San Diego, CAL, than from Ell Paso
to Galveston. In fact, more than l ZOO
miles of the Pacific coast, extending
from Los Angeles, CAL, to Mazatlan,
Mexico, is nearer Ell Paso than any part
of the Texas gulf coast.

Department OF Dakota Roster.

According to the latest roster, there are now
serving in the department of Dakota, Gen. AL
fred H. Terry commanding, the following regi-
ments:
Cavalry-Second and Seventh regiments,
tWenty-fOur troops.
Infantry-Third, Fifth, Eleventh, Fifteenth,
Seventeenth, Eighteenth and Twenty ifth regi-

Allowing seventy men to each cavalry troop,

to each infantry company, the total strength of

which prohibits an army officer, while on leave
of absence, from visiting Canada or Mexico.

Jaw Gould's Great Fortune.

Jay Gould has an income equal to a
small fortune every day. The New
York Journal "sizes him up" as follows:
In round numbers the permanent invest
ment stocks appearing on MIR. Go1lld's
schedule were $685. shares of West
ern Union telegraph, 10000 shares Of
Missouri Pacific, lac, 1000 shares of Wa
bash common and 10000 shares of the
preferred, 10000 shares of Kansas and
Texas, 100000 shares Of Texas Pacific
and 10000 shares of Erie. There we're
large number of small lots of yarious
stocks, apparently only incidentally
held. Besides his railroad shares Mr..
Gould holds five and half millions Of
Wabash general bonds. At yesterdays
prices the value of these securities is
$49, 1876, 900. Western Union and Mis-
souri, Pacific pay dividends; the other
stocks do not The bonds also bear in
terest. Between them they yield him
"a, 140 900 year. His interest in the
Union Trust company and his loans are
profitable to him. The World building,
nominally owned by the Western Union
company, was built with his money.
In real estate, loans and mortgages he
has s., 100000, and $3,000,000 more in
floating investments. His two resi-
dences represent another 81, 900, 600 and
his yatch 100000. His wealth, as
nearly as he can figure it, is $58, 1915, 413:
and his income $4,640,011. Thus his
fortune earns him $12, 1888 every day
and $8. 95 each minute.

One Kind of Home influence.

It is part of every woman's duty to
dress neatly and becomingly at home.
Whatever outside duties woman may
be called upon to perform, she is the
centre Of the home circle. On her de-
ponds largely the attractiveness of the
home, and no woman has right to dim
it's brightness or lessen her power by
being careless concerning her personal
appearance.
It may seem like bold assertion, but
it is none the less true that woman
who is always neatly dressed is able to
exercise a greater influence for good
than one who is the reverse.
The we'll dressed woman is more at
tractive to the eye, and the eye is one
of the main avenues to the heart.
Other things being equal her influence
is more potent than her neighbors,
whose reputation of dressing ''just as it
happens" at home in some detinable way
casts shade over whatever virtues she
may possess. A woman neatly dressed
iszready for emergencies. The chance
caller and the unexpected guest finds
her ready to receive them. But per-
haps the greatest necessity for looking
well at home exists in the home itself.
To the members of our own family cir
Gle we owe our first duty. A tidy we'll
arranged home is very inviting to alfred
man and the, charm is heightened if she
who presides over the home IS neat and
tidy also. And perhaps some who are
ever studying the subject of how to keep
the boys at home evenings would find

Ability and Knowledge.

A young attorney of this city has for
client a lady who resides on L street,
and who is possessed of considerable
real estate. A few days since she called
at the office of her attorney and in

the services of Judge "Dennison'' to
assist in certain litigation. The young
attorney objected; said she could hire
the services of Judge "Dennison" as adj

April returns to the department Of agricul
ture makes the winter wheat area about H.
100000 acres. The present area.is greater
than that of the census year by more than g.
100000 acres. The greatest increase is in the
Pacific coast and in the Southern states. The
condition Of wheat averages IS, an increase of
about 500, 900 acres on the Pacific coast and
nearly $50 600 acres in the Southern states
There is small increase in the Middle states
and slight decrease in the Ohio basis The
condition of wheat averages 95, 100 represent
ing full stand, unimpahed vitality and me-
dunn growth. In April, 1888, the average was
80; and IS in April, 1881. The April aver
age of the large crop Of 1892 was 104.
In Michigan, New York and Connecticut
fields were protected with snow on the LIST of
April, in some places q foot in depth. The
subsequent condition will depend on the wcath-
or of April. No serious winter killing is re-
ported, except IN Alabama on low and wet areas.
Some injury is reported through out the entire
breadth. The superior condition of drilled
wheat is attested, almost without exception.
The area sown is nearly the same as last year,
the average being 80. The condition averages

Lively Court Scene in California.

The court room, at San Francisco during the
trial of the Sharon divorce case on Wednesday,
the 9th, was scene of great commotion. Mrs
Shawan, witness for the defense, was on the
the stand. Judge Tyler, attorney for Miss Hill,
was subjcctin2 her to severe cross examina-
ton. He said 10 proposed to show that the
witness had dined Ill a;sreputable places and
visited an designation house with strange men
Mrs. Shawan manifested intense excitement
and hurriedly put her hand in her pocket as if
to draw revolver, but was checked by coun-
sci for the defense, who implored her to
keep cool. During the excitement which pre-
vailed McCune Shawan, a man about twenty
two years OF age, and son of the witness, ap-
preached Judge Tyler, but was stopped by the
1atter's son, who threatened to shoot him down
if he attempted to draw pistol Judge Sui
livan ordered the witness and her son removed
from the court, and Immediately after declared
a recess. At the opening of the afternoon ses-
sion the judge refused to hear further testimony

Common-Sense and Hygiene.

Said friend, whose vacation in the
country had been cut short 10y case of
diphtheria manifestly due to foul sur
roundings, II should think common
sense would teach men the danger Of
such things"
But common-sense, after all, is, doubt
less, only right ideas so commonly &C
cepted as to be generally acted on with
out concious thought.
This, however, comes of prior intel
igence.
Think of the common-sense of India
in hygiene. where the very filth IS al
lowed to embody itself in a pestilence
which every decade sweeps round the
globe.
Think of the common sense of our
British ancestors, when rotten straw
within the house, and narrow, dark and
damp streets with open cutters perpet-
ually flowing, made the Plague fixed
inhabitant for over seventy years, that
at length, some more than two centu-
ries ago, bacame famous in history as
the Great Plague by it's desolating fury.
Think of the common~sense even Of
our own fathers, who filled the land
with cess pools, with not a thought of
the wells into which their contents
leached; and their cellars with all
sorts of decaying vegetables; and who
looked on all contagious epidenlics SIM
ply as visitations from God for sin with
out once suspecting that it was for the
sin of transgressing that divine law
which demands purity of water and air,
as we'll as Of heart.
Take this case-a beautiful residence,
with it's natural hygiene perfect; it's
owner and occupant, the learned Pre-
sident of literary institution the only
access to it's cellar, a door from the CEN
trail hall, and the cellar stored with win
ter's supply Of potatoes and of veget-
ables generally; at some distance cess
pools, and stables for horses and COWS,
and long passage, covered on every
side, fully connecting them with the
dwelling, and ensuring free flow of
miasm to the latter, and-the venera-
bic president sick with typhoid fever.
Take another Casa clergyman's
house, stable, piTtstye and vaults prac-
tically under one roof; child dies of
diphtheria and the father Of typhoid
fever,
Neither of these cases date back forty
years; in both the men were far above
the average for intelligence.
Think of people going into the coun-
try or to the mountains for pure air and
then sleeping in close rooms.
The fact is, it is only within few
years that men have begun to study and
apply the laws Of hygiene. The results
of this study must be the improvement
in health of all civilized nations

the problem half solved if they gave
proper amount of attention to home

proper amount OF attention TO nome
dress.
The woman who is both mistress and
servant, as very many housekeepers are,
is constantly met by the temptation to
neglect her own adornment and sacri-,,
fee her own tastes and wishes to the
numberless demands upon her time and
strength. Of course to busy woman
every moment is precious, yet few
spent in freshening the toilet will scarce
ly be missed and somehow one feels
rested, and the work goes easier for it.
The habit of dressing neatly at home
like all other habits, is strengthened by
practice, and if girl is early taught
that neatness in dress is one Of the car
dinal virtues, she will practice it almost
unconsciously.
It should be part of girls home
training-not only the duty but the
method. Let the child understand that
it is to please others rather than to win
admiration for herself and it will but
help to make her thoughtful.
This is subject which concerns us
all, and if we give the matter the
thought which itdeserves we shall see
it's Importance more clearly.
If we hold up the mirror of theory in
which to view our practice no doubt
many of US will find imperfections
which need only be seen to be remedied,
So we shall be helped thereby, our
homes made brighter, and our families
happier.
