EDITOR DAILY TOMBSTONE:

EDITOR DAILY TOMBSTONE:
DEAR SIR Next Monday Congress
will meet and would it not be good
idea for every town and city in Ari-
iona and New Mexico to hold memo
rial meetings and ask the President
and Congress to give us protection
and that once, or else turn out every
man who can leave and let the whites
take the war path for while and go
right to the breeding pen, San Car
los, and massacre men, women and
children. Wilcox will turn out so
men who will sacrifice their lives if
necessary and go to San Carlos and
make Wholesale killing. We will
also furnish a good leader. Some
people will say that this is wrong, to
go on the reservation and kill peace
able Indians. We answer: Are not
the men, women and children who
are being murdered every day by the
friends and relatives of these Indians
peaceable, too? Are not our ranch
men and their families benefit to
this country Can as much be said
for the Indians who are dependent
upon the government for their SUD-
port and who make = practice of kill
ing our citizens every full moon and
burning their homes and stealing
their stock. The government by its
present attitude toward us, SAYS !:
You must stand this. Let the In
dian come back to the reservation
and We will enlist him as govern
ment scout and show him more favors
than heretofore" The other day as
the scouts passed the ranch of the
Monk brothers, which is situated at
the east end of the Graham noun
tains, on their road to Fort Bowie,
they broke into the house and took
nearly every stitch Of clothing, and
ransacked the house from top to bot
tom. The Monk brothers were not at
home at the time, but on going home
met about 100 of the scouts in bands
of seven and eight struggling through
the country. When Mr.. Monk
reached point where he could see
his house, he observed three Indians
coming out of the door. He now
swears that if they ever come that
way again and modest anything OF
his, that he will surely make two or
three good Indians.
have been told by three different
men, who can be relied upon, that
when the scouts get down into Next
co the officers can do nothing with
them, but the officers are not to
blame. General Crook should not
have sent any scouts out in The first
place. He ought to know by this
time that these Indians cannot be
relied upon; they betrayed him when
Captain Hentick was killed. 1t does
seem to me that the enlistment Of
these Indians should be abolished, as
it enables them to learn the ways Of
the army and they are particularly
instructed IN the use OF fire arms. l
have had actual experience with these
Indians for Ii years, and it is my
opinion that they can not DO trusted
in any way, shape or form.

In 1903 and 1904 the Rhine, Loire and
Seine ran dry. The heat in several
French provinces during the summer of
1905 was equal TO that in q glass fur
mace. Meat could be cooked by merely
exposing it to the sun. Not a soul dare
venture out between noon and 4 p. m.
In 1918 many shops had to close. The
theatres never opened their doors for
three months. Not a drop of water fell
during six months. In 1873 the Their
mometer rose to 11S degrees. In 1879
the heat at Bologna was so great that a
great number of people were stified.
There was not sufficient air for the
breath, and people had to take refuge
under ground.
In July. 1898, the heat again became
intolerable. Vegetables were burned up
and fruit dried up on tho trees, The
furniture and woodwork in dwelling
houses cracked and split up; meat went

In this part of the Eandes during the
summer heats it is useless TO look for a
spring. The wandering herdsmen know
this so well that they carry gourds of
water in their wallets. The water is
only reached by wells, and it is usually
Of a bad color and often brackish. Such
as it is it can generally be found at no
great depth, because underneath the
invariable bed of sand there is a very
solid layer Of tai, composed of sand
conglomerated with organic matter, so
impervious to moisture that the rain
which quickly soaks down to it can not
escape to the strata below.
This explains why the land is so
marshy during the winter that in some
districts stills are then absolutely indis-
pensable. The Landais are such adopts
in the use of those artificial legs that
they can travel over marshy ground by
stepping from tuft to tuft of heather as
fast as a horse can trot oven a good
road. The marshes cause malarial fever
when the strong evaporation sets in,
but of late years scientific drainage has
been carried on to such an extent that
the department is no longer unhealthy.

Some times a slight blow on the head
has resulted in death, OF, what's worse,
in the permanent loss OF reason. A
mere scratch on the hand, or a silver in
tho foot, or a grain of dust lodging in
the eye, or the tiniest fish bone entering
the wind-pipe, has proved fatal. Such
facts may lead MS TO accept the poets
statement, The spiders most attenu-
ated thread is cord. is cable, to mans
hold on life But there is another
class Of facts quite as surprising, that
are different from these.
An iron bar has been driven through
tho brain with a considerable loss Of
BRAIN substance, and yet no permanent
harm has come to body or to mind. The
fact is, while a mere prick in a particu-
lar part of the brain THE medulla OBJ
longatal may cause death, the great
LUX of the brain is exceedingly toler-
ant of many forms OF injury.
Even the heart is much more tolerant
than is generally thought. The physi-
clan may thrust his fine instrument
through it with safety. An insane
oma sought to Kill herself by piercing
it with n hairpin, but wholly failed Of
her purpose, although the pin interferel
with the natural movements OF the
heart.
A woman swallowed a paper of pins.
The pins traversed various organs and
tissues Of the body, and yet she reeoy-
cred from the local inflammation.
A boy was brought to the hospital in
sensible and nearly dead from asphyxia
want of BREATH. The doctor having
run a catheter down the windpipe, a
piece Of chestnut was .ooGghod up. The
next day there was evidence that an
other piece was lodged in another OF
the bronchial tubes. 1t was impossible
to dislodge it. There followed all the
symptoms of acute consumption
(phthisisl; high temperature, sweating,
emaciation, copious expectoration OF
offensive matter, and a large cavity.
Yet the boy in three months returned
home conyalescent and six months later
the cavity had disappeared.

Men and Women Who Grow Gray.
Nfadirat aud s,,rgiraI Ranprtar

AN"AAH INV AAA 49, E1hN@
Many persons begin to show gray
hairs while they are yet in their TWEEN
ties, and some while in their teens.
This does not by any means argue a pre-
mature decay of the constitution. 1t is
a purely local phenomenon, and may
coexist with unusual bodily yigor. The
celebrated author and traveller, George
Borrow, turned quite gray before he
was 80, but was an extraordinary swim
mer and athlete at SO.
Many feeble persons, and others who
have suffered extremely, both mentally
and physically, do not blaneh a hair IN
til past middle life; while others, with
out assignable cause, lose their capil-
larry coloring mates rapidly when about
40 years of age.
Race has a marSed influence. The
traveller, DR.. Orbigny, says that in the
many years he spent in South America,
he never saw n bald Indian, and
scarcely ever a gray haired one. The
negroes urn more slowly than the
whites. Yet we know a negress of pure
blood about 30 years old, who is quite
gray. In this country, sex appears to
make little difference. Men and women
grow gray about the same period of life.
In men the hair and beard rarely
change equally. The one is usually
darker than the other for several
years, but there seems no general rule
as to which whitens first. The spot
where grayness begins differs with the
individual, The philosopher Schopen-
.hauer began to turn gray on the tenn
piles, and complacently framed a theory
hat this is an indication of vigorous
mental activity.
The correlation Of the gray hair, as
well as its causes, deserves more atten
tfon and study than they have received.
such a change is undoubtedly indica.
tive Of some deep seated psychological
process, but what this is we can only
ascertain by a much wider series of OBJ
seryations than have yet been submit
ted to scientific analysis.

In Alaska in midsummer, according
to a late letter, the almost continuous
light Of day shines upon bright green
slopes, shaded here and there with dark
timber belts, rising up from the deep,
blue waters. An endless variety Of
bright-hued flowers, the hum of insects
and melodious song OF birds, together
with a degree of heat dispensed by the
solar orb which to our thickened blood
appears oppressive, would cause a
stranger suddenly transplanted there to
think himself in any country but Alaska.
