Standard to ask: "Is Galveston entire

Poor Galveston. Where are San An

Whereupon the Fort Worth Democrat
gave the answer in the following :
Sort Worth and San Antonio will be

Worth stands between all other places,

Antonio does the same in the South.
Fort Worth, San Antonio and Houston

Soldiers Pay in China.

The economical habits of the heath
en- Chinee are notorious, and they are
well illustrated by a correspondent,
who, writing from Tien-tsin, says:
The Chinese infantry soldier is paid
once month, when he receives 80 taels
of silver. This sum, which is equal to
about 10 shillings of English money,
is given him in scrap bullion; and dur
ing the night preceding each pay day
the paymasters are busily engaged in
weighing out silver and making it up
into neat little packages for distribu-
ton. As soon as he has obtained his
share the soldier takes it to the nearest
shopkeeper or money-changer, who, in
return for it, hands him $500 cop
per cash, the aggregate weight OF
which is quite as much as he can con-
veniently carry. Out of this the
soldier has to keep himself in food
and clothing; and the pay cannot,
therefore, be called excessive. A
Chinaman, however, lives almost ex-
clusively upon rice, months supply
OF which costs Il good deal less than
1000 cash, and many private not
only supports family upon the bal
ance of his earnings, but puts by few
hundred cash every month. One fell
low here is said to wear several thou
sand cash strung On silk and concealed
beneath his uniform; and [ am told
that he has wife and three children
who never want. Seeing that the
small change for 4 tael weighs about
five pounds, feel sorry for this model
paterfamilias.

The Catfish and Her Kittens.

A Mr.. Hubbard, a bav fisherman,
says that late in the spring you will
often see a school of about fifty small
catfish, not more than quarter of an
inch in length, very near the shore,
and if you look ten or twelve feet fur
Their out you will see the mother cat.
If noise is made she will make a sim
that the little "cats" understand as
well as chickens do the cluck of an old
hen when hawk is in the neighbor-
hood, and run into the open mouth of
the old catfish, who will then turn and
swim off in safety with her young. Mr..
Thomas Davis, of this city, some time
ago told Us that he had noticed this
care of mother catfish for her young.
He said that he has often seen the
young fish swimming about in shallow
water, while the old fish would not be
far off, If danger threatened the old
.cattv" would rush in among her
young, and by a vigorous motion of
fins stir up the mud until the water be-
came discolored and the young fish
could no longer be seen. When the
water would become clear again
neither old nor young fish would be
visible. de Grace Republican.

Origin of Familiar Proverbs.

"Truth is stranger than fiction" was
| invented by an editor as q headline to
| a twenty-five lie so mOnstrously
| extravaganza, that he knew nobody
/ would believe ten words of it. The
| original use of this proverb is contin-
| ued unto this day. Whenever you see
that line in newspaper don't believe
word you read under it.
III make spoon or spoil a horn"
was the thought OF man who never
made a spoon in all his life. and who
| knew perfectly well that he couldn't
make one, and only took a mean mans
| malicious delight in spelling a horn.
T. S.-For man who likes to take his
horn straight the introduction of
/ spoon always spoils it.
"A wink is as good as nod to n
/ blind horse. was said by a man with
/ stiff neck, VINO wanted to nod, but
/ couldn't; although why any sane man

she "makes kisses by beating the whites
of six eggs with Dover 6eater, and

she stirs in very carefully" Well, she
makes them sweet enough, certainly,
but to make good kisses girl need not
be an authority on Bavarian cream and
escolloped oysters. When she stands
on the lower cross piece her face ought
to come at least eight inches above the
top OF the gate, with the moonlight on
one cheek and the shadow on the 9th

A Big "WeH" in Arizona.

In some sections of the northern por-
ton of Arizona the question of water
supply, even for domestic purposes, is
a very serious one. This is particular
ly the case at Ash Fork, a station on
the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad A
series of very lovely and fertile valleys
surround the place, and plenty of grass
grows for the support of large herds of
cattle, but no water can be had except
from an occasional tank" during the
winter season. At Ash Fork the rail-
road company attempted to sink an ar
tesian well, but after reaching a depth
OF 900 feet the drill became fastened
and could not be removed. Many fu-
tile attempts were made to extract it,
but at last it was abandoned in despair
All water now used at that station and
by the residents of the town is brought
by rail from Pach Springs, siXty-hve
miles to the westward, and is sold at
90 cents per barrel.
A short time ago a prospector stim-
ulated by the inquiry for water, report
ed that he had discovered huge well,
about eight miles from Ash Fork, sunk
IN level plain. Parties at once re-
paired thither with ropes and other
paraphernalia to explore the wondrous
discovery. They found the locality,
but to this day they do not know the
exact nature of the curious cavern that
met their gaze. 1t is located on a level
plain and cannot be seen until it is APP
preached very near. There is no evil
dence of earth or rock having been re-
moved from the pit, which was found
to be $50 feet in diameter and 800 feet
deep, with perpendicular walls. No
one in the party was brave enough to
descend and explore the well" when
the rope had been lowered. and the ex-
plorers returned to Ash Fork scarcely
wiser than they were before their trip.
1t Is certainly great curiosity, and
there possibly exists supply of water
somewhere in its depths or in the nu-
merous caverns or tunnels that appar-
emily emerge into the dark earth below
from this curious threshold of sunlight.
