Sand as q Motive Power

In Nevada. the scarcity of water has
prompted the S of sand to drive an
over-shot wheel. A wind wheel runs q
bolt containing a large number of bas-
kets and these carry the sand into q
large tank and a large stream of sand
is allowed to fall on the over-shot wheel.
which operates just the same as water.
When there is much wind sand is stored
up for use when calm prevails, so the
machinery is never idle. After a sufi-
Gent quantity of sand has once been &C.
cumulated there is no more trouble on
that score, the same sand being used
sver and over.--Erchamga

Deplorable Condition Of Affairs
In the Park.

The following te~legraphic correspondence ex.
plains itself:
MAMMOTH Hot SPRINGS Natl Park
August 9th, 1884.
To Governor william Hale. Cheyenne, Wyom-
ing.
Your legislature last year memorialized Con-
gross and the people of Wyoming protested
against the Yellowstone Park being placed
under the Jurisdiction of Montana for judicial
purposes, though the people Of Montana, as
well As myself, asked for the jurisdiction in or
der that the game laws might be enforced and
outlaws speedily punished Jour courts being a few
hours from the Park. Inasmuch Is Wyoming
sue ceeded in keeping judicial control of the
Park the responsibility for execution of the
laws remains with you-not with the executive
of Montana. Ibeg to inform you hat the SUI
perintendent of the Park and his assistants are
doing nothing to prevent the killing of game
and feel constrained to suggest to you imme-
diate action by sending officers to the Park
with authority to arrest horse thieves, despera-
ADDE'S n depredators, who now daily run off
the stock of visitors and shoot game ad ibitum.
The small portion Of the park lying within the
Territory of Mont4ha is carefully watched
I will gladly cooperate with you to the end in
view, and trust that you appreciate the situa-
ten. namely, my want of authority and your
own responsibility.
JoHN SCHUYLER CROSBY, Governor.
CHEYENNE, Wy, Augusta.
To Cove. nor John Schuyler Crosby, Helena.
Montana:
Accept my thanks for your telegram. I shall
start for the Park in q few days and hope to
meet you there. Rest assured that all offend
ers IN the park will be prosecuted vigorously.

Wait on God.

There is no hurry in eternal things.
We must indeed run to do the COM
mandments of God, but we must run
cautiously, and look about US while we
run. If we are not slow we shall miss
things. We shall miss seeing God, and
miss hearing Him also. We can hardly
be reverent unless We are slow.-F. ".

Acid.

The Connecticut Farmer says: "A
bottle of carbolic acid should be kept
in every farm house, not only as a dis.
infectant, but as q wash for wounds and
sores. For any purpose it should be
diluted with water. Its power to
destroy fungus growth makes carbolic
acid invaluable in pruning orchards Of
pear, plum, or peach where blight or
disease is suspected. The pruning
shears should he frequently dipped in
carbolic acid water"

THERE is a good deal more meaning
to a kiss than is generally credited ia
it. It sometimes means true friendship,
often denotes affection and too often it
is an act of deception as was the kiss OF
Judas. Promiscous kissing an the part
of a person, that is kissing everything
and anything, has no real meaning. It
is not in fact kissing. It is merely the
Formally of sticking your puckered
lips against an object and making q
smacking noise. The purest, sweetest
kiss, is that given by q boy to his
mother. When you see a boy, no mat
ter if he is forty or one year old, proud
of his mother and not ashamed to kiss
her and not afraid he will be considered
Q sentimental fool by others for doing
it, you have found q man who has a
spark of true manhood in him, no mat
ter what or how bad his general record
may be. The boy who, when he comes
home will invariably kiss his mother is
generally the boy to be depended upon,
for there is no boy OF man with q guilty
conscience, who can come up and look
his mother in the eye and kiss her. No,
the boy who kisses his mother is every
inch q man. It IS a proud record for
any man to have, to have it said he al.
ways kisses his mother.-Pecks Sum
A PHILADELPHIA drummer wrote q

hoped that his sin of flirting was
washed away.

schus etts house of representatives
has taken an improper step in the

cuse children under IA yesrs of age
if their parents represent that the
work of the children is necessary to
