THELAND GRARRERs.

The Presidents proclamation against the land grabbers who have been fencing in the public domain was very much needed. The special agents engaged in examining the un- lawful inclosures of public lands in the West have thus far covered only 8 small part of the field to which they were assigned. Their reports show, however, that the Pres ident's proclamation affects more than fifty inclosures in Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, Kansas, Nevada, Nebraska and Utah, the in closed areas ranging in extent from seven hundred to ninety thousand acres, the total area in these cases being about six hundred and fifty thousand acres. There are six ranges inclosed in Colorado, and two of them cover two million acres. Half of this area is controlled by a company organized in Scotland. Suits against some of the Cobra do squatters are pending in the federal courts. It is estimated in the Land office that in addition to the three million to which the reports relate there are at least ten mil lion acres illegally inclosed and withheld from settlement which the agents have not had time to examine.
 This is not pleasant showing, and it is AoC P1odSa1t 1uluS GnaL IAo oSA AeS OooA allowed to grow without more hin drance. Millions of acres of fertile grazing lands have been seized upon by rich corporations and inclosed without any show of title whatever, or under cover of palpably fraudulent claims; and in some sections the honest settlers have found practically all the desirable lands closed against them. Worse still, legitimate settlers have been shot while attempting to pre-empt lands; while the miles on miles of wire fencing have been successfully defended against even the progress of the United States mails. Desirable arabic lands are be- coming scarce. The poor man is being push ed into the remote corners by the rich cor porations and the statement was made last winter, apparently as the result of observa- tion, that the man of family who now seeks 8 home in the new West will need a capital of $1, 800 to tide him over the time before the first years crops come in, and this as result of the absorption, legitimate and otherwise, of the best accessible lands by corporations.
 A change in the programme is very desira ble. And anything that the President has done or may do to prevent the public lands from being diverted from their legitimate use-which is to furnish homes for poor men-will be heartily applauded and sup ported by the people.

 Yes, All!

All our facbric Gloves are marked down. We have a few too many. We bought too many fine gloves, and we now must sell them by making them the same price as cheap gloves, which are not worth half as much. To simplify matters we make of our gloves but four lots. 1st, all our finest gloves, fine silk and all lengths, black and colors, which were $I.oo, SIPS and upwards, are made 75c. 2d, all gloves not in the first lot COG, 75c and upwards, are put in at soc. 3d and 4th, all our other gloves, ranging from soc to Goo, are divided in to two lots at 25c and soc.
 Nothing is kept out. Better pay us 25c, 38c,- SOC or 75c, and get gloves worth having, than to pay the same price for cheap grades.

about fifteen francs. The system to be adopted will be that of Gorini, now used in Rome and Milan. The vote of the munich pal council is triumph for the cremation society of Paris, and it is considered there that the practice of burning the dead will ultimately become general.
 At the last meeting of the French Acade- my of Medicine Dr. Brown-Sequard related 6 very remarkable instance of the power of sympathy which came within his recent ob- servation. A little girl was looking out of window in house in the Batignolles few days ago. The lower sash was raised and the child had placed her arms on the sill. Sud denly the support on which the sash rested gave way and the window fell with consid- erable force on the little girls arm, inf icting a severe bruise. Her mother, who was in the room at the time, happened 10 look toward the window at the moment of the accident and witnessed it. She tainted with fright and remained insensible for minute or two. When she recovered she was con- scious of severe pain in both arms, and on examining the seat of it she was amazed to find on each arm bruise corresponding in position to that left by the. accident on the child's arm, though more extensive.
 A statement recently issued by the Italian government gives some idea of the great de- struction caused annually by avalanches in the Alpine districts of Italy and the Tyrol. In the single district of the Val di Susa two avalanches fell on January IS; one at Devies, between Exilles and Salbertand, was esti- mated at about sixty metres long and six deep and slid down the slope distance of about kilometre. Its volume is supposed to have been 360, 900 cubic metres and the weight of snow composing it was 45, 900 tons It destroyed sixteen houses and killed forty three persons. The second avalanche of January IS fell near Venans and was 150 metres long; it's volume was about 5000. .O00 cubic metres and it bore nearly 250, 900 tons of snow. But although the slide extended to nearly four kilometres only twenty-fou houses were wrecked by it and six persons killed. A third avalanche, which fell at Ma fiotte and was computed to contain little more than 500 tons weight of snow, was much more destructive, killing seventeen persons and destroying eighteen houses.

 Some of the London hospitals are queer places. An investigation of the management of one of them which has just been made shows that the officers drank in three months s, 75O worth of wine and beer and $340 worth of milk.
 J. P. Schatz of Rochester, New York, is the owner of valuable trotter, which was hurt while travelling on the New York Cen trai railroad, and he has sued the company for $25, 900. The chances are that he will get it., but if Mr. Schatz himself had been killed on the same road his family could have recovered only 5000.
 Few people who don't know ave any idea of the lack of wealth in Chicago. Accord ing to the sworn statement of the assessor of South Chicago, the division which contains all the great business part of the city, and some of the richest residence quarters, there are twenty-eight steam engines in his district, ffty-four safes, sixty eight billiard tables, no watches, no clocks, no gold or sil- yer plate, and only one diamond.
 The export of manufactured goods from Germany has not for the past year reached the extent anticipated, and the outlook is not promising for any revival of trade. Go- ing over the list of countries to which goods are exported, in Mexico only is there said to be an improvement, while the United States has been taking less than formerly of cloth ing stuffs. It is reckoned that in Europe one man in sixteen is in the army, while enc man of the other fifteen is required to labor for the support of the soldiers. England has withstood this draft upon her financial re- sources very well, but it is beginning to be even there question of consequence. In Germany and France the drain is 8 severe one.
 The honest inventors don't get far ahead of the dishonest ones. A new and ingenious burglars ladder was recently taken from 8 negro thief in Washington. It was construct ed of light but strong rope and at one end had two sharp hooks, fitted to fasten on 8 window sill. These were attached to an iron rod capable of being extended thirty or forty feet. The whole could be wrapped in bun dle about the size of an ordinary umbrella. As the apparatus had hooked handle and was enclosed in a case the owner could carry it along the streets without attracting atten- ton, while in two minutes it could be turned into rope ladder and securely fastened to an unbolted window, giving burglar easy means of entrance fo A housa
 The Paris municipal council has just voted a resolution brought forward by one of it's members to construct furnace at the ceme- tery of Pere La Chaise for the purpose of burning dead bodies from the hospitals. It is estimated that 4, ,880 corpses can be con- stunned in this manner annually. The con- | struction will be of the simplest kind, in or der to save expense. Furnaces with banked 1 fires will be used, so that the emanation oi | disagreeable odors will be obviated.

 Never fear that gifts of flowers to bed ridden sick folks will not be appreciated.
 Water the Trees.-Where trees have been planted for shade everyone is in hurry to see them large This end may be hastened by watering them daily in the summer. Or dinary showers don't help much, for the rain seldom reaches the roots. A well established tree will grow more ill five years with judi cious summer watering than in ten without it.
 Preparing for Sowing Lawns.-Much of the annoyance that comes from weeds in lawns that are made by seeding may be pre- vented by preparing the land as for summer fallow By this course the weeds from the seeds lying in the ground start up early and then with hoeing when young @ clean condi- ton of soil be reached before sowing the grass seed. To prepare for the sowing of the grass the soil should not then be stirred deeply A course like this would also In most cases relieve the scotsman from unjust blame for having sold foul seed when 1t was not such. On the other hand if the seed was full of weeds and foreign grasses 1t would be apparent in such seed bed. For fall sowing put in the seed during Septem- Der.

Her friend and MesSrs Moody and Sankeys associate, the sweet singer P. P. Bliss, killed, and she so badly injured and her nervous system so shocked that chronic hysteria followed.
