lost it's spirit, and the body its elasticity at
forty years. And yet how many women
are faded and wan, shattered in mind and
health long before they are forty! All the
joy of life is not in youths morning. five
so will it, we can to the last moments Of
life be at least negatively happy.
A SCENE ON THE BoRDER.-One of the
most startling and romantic features of bor-
der life occurred recently on the Wild Horse
Prairie, thirty miles north of Los Angeles,
when band of wild horses under the lead
of noble sorrel stallion, came galloping
over the plain to reconnoitre company OF
surveyors engaged in making survey of
the tract The band dashed toward Captain
Keller and his party of surveyors till with
in about 500 feet, when the leader halted in
grandly proud and defiant manner, with
neck curved, rostrils distended, erect, and
tail on dress parade, and all the band rang
squadron of calvary in battle charge. At
ter surveying the scene for few moments
the leader galloped proudly away followed
by the band in a most graceful and dignif-
ed manner. The scene was most romantic,
and the picture of the lordly leader with
his most obedient subjects in their fleet and
graceful motions, was worthy of an artists
pencil. There was another band Of wild
horses on the same prairie under the leader
ship of dark, mahogany bay stallion, with
black name, tail, and knees. In this band
are bay and sorrel mainly. Few people are
aware that at the northern base of Sierra
Madra, only thirty miles from this city,
wild horses roam in their native beauty and
crop the rich grasses that grow on Wild
Horse Prairie. Yet such is the fact, and
their slick appearance and graceful motions
are the admiration of all beholders.-LOs

THE ART OF EARLY RIsING.-The pro-
per time to rise, says the London Lancet,
is when sleep ends. Doing should not be
allowed. True sleep is the aggregate of
ing or rest of all the several parts of the or
ganism. Sometimes one and at other times
another part of the body, as a whole, may
be the least fatigued, and so the first to
awake, or the most exhausted, and there
fore the most difficult to arouse. The secret
of good sleep is, the physiological condi-
tions of rest being established, so to work
and weary the several parts of the organ
ism as to give them proportionally equal
need of rest at the same moment; and, to
wake early and feel ready to rise, fair and
equal start of the sleeper should be secured;
and the wise self-manager should not allow
a drowsy feeling of the consciousness or
weary senses, or an exhausted muscular
system, to beguile him into the folly of 60
ing to sleep again when once he has been
aroused. After few days Of self discipline,
the man who resolves not to doze, that is,
not to allow some sleepy part of his body
to keep him in bed after his brain has once
awakened, will find himself, withoutknow-
ing why, an early riser.-Populdr Science

And if you know, then bear in mind un-

Possess your soul in patience. Great things

Bsa According to the New York Herald
this is the "blue mist year." The vapor
that early in the day obscures the view
across the valleys, ordinarily gray, is now
distinctly blue in color; and the air has
quality in virtue of which it gives to objects
narily noticed as the effect of distance. At
one time there was an opinion that this at
mOspheric phenomenon went with the chol-
era as it was several times observed in
cholera years but the sounder opinion is
that it is only an evidence that the atmOs-
phere is charged to an unusual degree with
vegetable spores. In such year, the chol-
era, if started, would be more likely to
spread than in another year, but the condi-
tion has no necessary relation to the pres
ence of that malady. But diseases depen-
dent in any degree upon atmospheric causes
are worse in such a year; wherefore this
give rise to exaggerated reports of epidem-
les here and there, against all which re-
ports the public should be upon its guard
and keep it's head level.
FREIGHT CAR CoUPLERs.- Connecticut
has the honor of being the first State to en-
act law requiring railroad companies to
use safety couplers on freight cars. Massa-
chusetts Joined her in this humane move
ment and the probability is that the neces-
sary legislation will be passed in the near
future by several other States. Governor
Foster, Of Ohio, in his message to the sixty
sixth assembly said "Upon these rail
roads there have been killed during the past
Injured CSC were employees; of these en-
ployees that were injured 346 or So per
cent. and the II killed were in the act of
coupling cars. There are $3.50 brakemen
in Ohio. From this it appears that one
brakeman in every eight suffers yearly by
personal injury while in the act of coupling
cars, and many others suffer DEATH" This
great suffering by this class of bold and
hardy laborers urges upon the railway man
agement the great necessity securing
some means for their alleviation.
