feeling of poor mothers who have
none of these comforts? Alt day long
we have been passing through weird
desert whose most fertile spots bear
bnly cactus and curious palms. We
saw that wonder of wonders mir
age-and despite our knowledge and
better judgment it was Impossible to
believe there was no smiling lake
around the mountains base. Fancy
a nation wandering for forty years in
in such a wilderness. For miles and
miles we dashed along through this
Sea of sand, where no living thing be-
side ourselves was visible. Not even
bird. Here at Tucson, wind mill
has turned the desert into a sweet
grassy mound, adorned with cactus Of
gigantic proportions. We caught a
glimpse of some soldiers at Ft. Bowie,
and admired their tents that dotted
the plains. Here too, we see ''bus,"
but cannot imagine its use. Like
naughty children we are to go supper-

less to bed. One notable feature of
this country is that the empty tin Gals
far outnumber the dogs and small
boys put together.

Miss LOchie Rankin's Trip from st.

We left St. Louis this morning,
taking the l. M. route, which goes
through to San Francisco with only
one change. Such scrambling for
lower berths; such chorus Of infant
voices; such heaps of hand baggage
could never be seen, heard or en-
countered outside the Union depot.
Ours is a lower berth, secured four
days ago; but tonight We yield in IA

Springs. The outlook was not very
promising. Only one sleeping car
and twenty lone children, besides
fathers, mothers, old maids and bach
elors. The unencumbered gentlemen
fed to the smoking car Immediately
after depositing their checks, and,
were seen no more. Not so with the

The first remains of a man ever found in a
fossil condition were recently discovered
near the City of Mexico. The scientists find
II impossible to name geological age of the

wish to amplify the antiquity of the human
race will be gratified. The cases of the skull
of Calveras and the bones found at Natchez
forbid any positive assumption as to the re-
cent discovery.
