Tree Culture and Rcsert Land.

1t may not be generally known that com.
n'issioncrs were appointed last August bv
Secretary Teller to go out into the Terrific
ries and examine the workings of the des-
ert land tree culture acts. and large ma.
jority Of these reports were in favor of the
repeal. The bill presented to Congress tor
the repeal Of boti, these acts has been ia.
vorably reported by the committee. Should
this legislation effect the repeal Of the des.

cultivation and improvement OF that great
body ot bench land in Montana that can
only be made productive by irrigation
This area Of agricultural land can not be
made fruitful by individual enterprise, and
needs to be brought under cultivation by
means Of ditch companies, that have re-
claimed such vast quantities OF land in Col.

have been expended and vast fortunes made
by the projectors Of these schemes. There
is no finer field for investment to day than
in the table lands Of Southern Montana.

High Heels.

Since the high heel made its appearance,
medical men have more than once horne

Hilton condemned it. Others have done
the same. Oflatc years public opinion has

encouraging feature, however, in this case,
that the disease seems to yield to remedies
more readily than in England; whether it
is the climate or sop,e other cause. it is
difficult to tell. In Illinois, Missouri and
Kansas there have been very serious re-

THE asd ri.read of Hoaor.

1t is related of Sir Charles Napier's
campaign of the Upper Seinde, that a
Sergeant with eleven men became
separated from the rest of his com
mand. An officer signaled an order
to return, but they mistool the signal
for a command to charge. There were
seventy Of the foe behind hreastwork
at the summit of the mountain. They
fell there, these brave eleven, after
staying twice their number. There is,
it is said a custom among the robber
tribe which these brave men fought,
that when one of their great warriors
is killed in battle, they bind his wrist
with thread either of red or green
the red for the highest rank. When
the British found the stark bodies Of
their eleven brave comrades around
both wrists of each they saw the red
thread. These robbers and foes gave
the hero his own glory as best they
could.-Chicago Weekly Magazine.

A Health Resort.

A few years ago prospectors and
hunters, crossing the desert fiat upon
which Hawthorne now stands, would
not have believed that it would ever
be the site of one of the best towns
in Nevada, and still less would they
have been willing to believe that 81
would ever become attractive enough
to offer inducements to pleasure seek.
eys and inyalids as place Of resort
IL would have seemed simply absurd
to suggest that the apparently barren
sand would support any vegetable life
other than crossword but experience
has proved that no more fertile soil is
to be found anywhere. The expert
ment of living here has been success
fully tried and the advantage of
climate is such that invalids come for
its comfort and benefit. In the East
il is too hot, in California it is too
cold, in Oregon it is too wet, while
here it is nearly always just about
right. There is nice adjustment of
rain, wind and sun, which keeps the
temperature at the exact point, where
neither ice nor fire is essential to COM
fort, while pleasure may be derived
from either. Such of the invalids who
require tonics can derive great salts
faction from either hot scotch or a
mint julep, and the fresh breeze keeps
the air pure and bracing. No sooner
does the sun threaten sultry days than
a delightful shower comes to cool off
the air and make everybody comfort
able. Professor Davis has been
explaining his theory of gradual
| change of climate and predicts that as
time rolls on Nevada will become an
agricultural State. He shows that the
change of axis will bring more rain
and that irrigating will some day be a
needless art. Instancing Hawthorne
as the initial point Of change, he
foretells within a short period an
eruption of flower gardens and peach
orchards, while greasewood will give
place to waving grass and grain fields
will make beautiful the alkali flats.
If the Professor continues his predic-
lions, Hawthorne will furnish the
fulfilment, and when the glad tidings
become known to all men people VIII
come here in Summer to escape heat
and in Winter to avoid cold.

A Chance for the Miracle Worker

| Nine. BlavatSky declared recently
that within year past Colonel Olcott
has worked in India upwards OF 5000
miracles or nearly 90 per day, or, for
working hours, TWO and Il fraction.
| This is business; business with an
energy persisiency and vim that is
model for all other workers. With
| few more such men as Colonel Olcott,
and imbued with like power and indus
try, we should have the regular order
of nature so upset that miracles would
cease to be marvellous. There is,
therefore, it is TO be seen, wise dis
nensation in coniining the miracle
working power.to the Colonel and an
exceedingly small number of others.
| would never do to have regiment
of these miracle workers and headers.
Aside from the reversal of the laws
of nature, and the upsetting of things
usual, they would wreck medical art,
and turn our doctors out upon the cold
charities of a world that stands by,
anxious for an opportunity to get
even with the profession. OF course,
we realize that il is sort of sacrilege'
to speak of Olcott's miracles jestingly
and as the reversals OF the order OF
nature, since his claim is that his
work is according to orderly natural
laws, which, however, in all their sub.
tlety, are revealed as yet to the very
few. But if people yield unbounded
faith to the miracle working powers
of the Colonel, they still must not be
blamed for questioning The wisdom
that keeps the Colonel in distant lands
