COlOradO'S Climate.

A careful analysis of Signal-Service,
statistics for range Of years has
shown that the CLIMATE of Colorado af-
fords an air only 40 saturated with
moisture, while the air of jacksonville.
Florida, is 40, and that of Los An
geles, California, is 66-i90 of satura-
ton; that the average rain and snow
fall, per annum, is only a trife over
fourteen inches, while at Jacksonville.
it is fOrty-nine inches, at Los Angeles
nineteen inches, aud at New York
forty-two inches; that the elevation,
ranging from five thousand to seven
thousand feet, is such as secures the
most healthful action of diseased lungs;
that the direction and daily motion OF
the winds are favorable and salubriOus;
that tie mean temperature would place
this climate under the head of ''coci
climate" and, lastly, and OF tie great
est importance, is the fact that 1t.
affords an average of three hundred
and twenty sunny days per annum, or,
to quote the article referred to: at Is
seen that in Denver there is only about
one-eighth of the entire year when an
invalid would be kept in the house on
account of the weather; in JACKSON
vile and Augusta (Ga.) he would be
confined to the house, for the same rea-.
son, one quarter of the year; in st.
Paul he would be kept indoors between
a third and quarter of the time; while
in Boston he would have to be housed
q good third of the time. - Samuel A.
Fisk, u. D.. in Popstar Science Monthly.

WOman's Sixth Sense.

Here is singular instance, says the
| Boston Courier, of the working of that
subtle, fine, sixth sense, which is apt to
affect women more than men, and which
| is so mysterious in character that we
often incline to deny its existence at all.
A lady sat sewing quietly in her sitting
| room, and in an inner chamber the
nurse had just put the baby to sleep
and laid her in her basinette As the
nurse came out of the chamber she said
to her mistress:
1.-The little thing is asleep for three
hours, ma'am, I'll warrant"
The nurse went down stairs, and for
about minute the mother sewed on.
Suddenly desire seized her to 90 and
take the sleeping child from its crib.
What nonsense" she said to her
self. BABY is sound asleep. Nurse
just put her down. l shall not go"
Instantly, however, some power,
stronger even than the last, urged the
mother to 60 to her baby; and, after a
moment, she rose, half-vexed with her
self, and went to her chamber. The
baby was asleep in her little bed, safely
tucked in with soft white and pink
blankets. One white hand was thrown
above the little brown head 1t was
half open, the exquisite fingers slightly
curved, and the palms as rosy as the
depths of a lovely shell. ~,
''My babyn' whispered the mother.
adoring the little sleeper as mothers
will. my own little baby 40 ~
She bent over suddenly third time,
impelled by that mysterious force
which was controlling her, and, for no
apparent reason, took the sleeping baby
in her arms and went swiftly into the
other room. She had scarcely crossed
the threshold when @ startling sound
caused her to look back. Through a
sitting cloud of thick gray dust she
saw that the ceiling above the baDy's
cradle had fallen, burying the heaps of
rosy blankets, and lying heaviest of ali
upon that spot where, but for her
mystic warning. her little child would
even now be lying. Courier.

Gold In the Well.

STEPHENSON, MICH, June 26.-Some
months ago family named Muelendyke
who were getting water from the public well
at the corner of the Churchill House, dis
covered small bright spots in the bottom OF
the pail. A family counsel resulted in the
decision that the spots were gold. Muelen-
dyke continued his pumpingS. saving the
specimens, and finally showed them to a
Catholic Priest, who took them to several
practical miners for examination. After
testing the specimens they united in pro-
nouncing them gold. a Milwaukee capt.
alist furnished the money and the place was
quietly purchased for comparatively small
consideration. Water from a neighboring
well contains similar specimens. The ex-
element here is increasing and everyone is
watching developments with interest

A DOCTOR KILLED.
Unprovoked Murder of DIR. Barradan at
Fort Worth, Tex.


Fort Worth, Tex.
FORT WORTH, Ten, June 26.-It is safe
to say that never before in our history as a
city was there such excitement as there is
over the murder of DR.. Claude w. BSrradall,
a well known and popular pharmacist, who
came to this city some six years ago from
st. Charles, Mo. About nine clock Charles
Herring walked Into the drugstore where
Barradall was sleeping, and slapping him
ON the shoulder, said: You are a pretty
-" Barradall remarked, you are
drunk and don't know what you are saying, y
when Herring repeated the remark. Bar
radall jumped up from his chair and
stepped toward Herring, who drew his pistol
and pointed it at Barradall'S breast.
Don't shoot me-" Barradall said, but Her
ring pulled the trigger and Barradall
dropped t the floor, shot through the
heart. Officers to the number of fourteen
were soon in pursuit and were joined by
several posses of citizens. but nothing of the
murderer has been learned except that he
crossed the Trinity River. The streets We're
crowded with men, clamOring for the hang
ing of Herring, and if he is caught short
work will be made of him. The only posi-
bic reason that can be assigned for the
crime is that during the day BarraGall re-
fused to sell Herring some morphine. Her
ring has had several pistol encounters be-
fore, and was considered a very dangerous
man. Barradall leaves young wife, tie
daughter of one of the wealthieSt cattle
kings of this section.

Dynamite.

LONDON, June 25.-The prevalence of
the dynamite scare is again demonstrated
by the extraordinary precautions which
have been ordered to secure the safety of
Queen Victoria and Princess Beatrice, in
their approaching journey from BalmOral to
Windsor Castle. The special train in which
her Majesty is TO travel will be preceded
throughout the journey with pilot engine,
to see that the track is free from obStruc-
lions and to remove any that may be placed
upon it. During the progress of the jour-
ney the public will be rigidly excluded
from all the stations along the line,
and no assemblages will be permitted at
any of the railway crossings, especially in
the cities. All trains going in the direction
opposite to that of the Queen will come to
full stop on the approach of the royal
train, and will remain stationary until that
train has passed, TO avoid the possibility of
collision. In order to make the clearing OF
the stations and the interruption of traffic
as little burdensome to the public as posi-
BILE, the Queen will make the journey at
night. arriving at Windsor Castle in time
for an early breakfast
