TEXAS AND HER PROGRESS

TUE HERALD has had two control
ing Aubiects OF its concern ana Rdvo-
cscy-Dsllas first and Texas next. We
have watched their development with
keen interest, and never perxitted
an opportunity to pass without saying
some thing that would nerve and en-
ccurage our own people or direct
towards us the attention Of strangers
It IL not eur purpose now to speak Of
DRllas, but rather to call to the notice
of both citizens and others, in briet
space, the startling growth within the
past Is years, OF this St.te, materially
and inaustrially.-a growth that our
own people do not but in general
sort of way, appreciate.
How many Texans, even among the
most intelligent, can state facts and
figures OF thst wonderful development
which is at once our prits and
strength--and orr earnest wish Of what
we may anticipate from the future?
How many can tell the stranger now
fast tha aggregate wealth has iporeasee
since 1870, how many miles of railway
have bsen built, hew many farms
opened, how many factories have
been built?
There isn't Que in hundred who
can use figures in telling this stony Of
lightDipg-like progress, and briefly we
desire to group some numbers that ara
AZ Interesting as they are astonishing,
dealing now only with the meterisl
physical growth of Texas, so to speak.
The material development is cor1pre
hended under the increase in popuia-
tion and values, the increase in farms,
their acreage and values, the extension
OF railways and tho establishment of
factories.

Cayenne pepper may be selected as q
typical example of condiment prop
erly so called. Mustard is food and
condiment combined; this is the case
with some others. Curry powders are
mixtures of very potent condiments
with more or less of farinaceous mate
rails and sulphur compounds, which, like
the oil of mustard, onions, garlic, etc,
may have certain amount of nutritive
value.
The mere condiment is stimulating
drug that does its work directly upon
the inner lining of the stomach, by ex-
citing it to increased and abnormal ac-
tivity. A dyspeptic may obtain i'm
mediate relief by using cayenne pepper.
Among the advertised patent medicines
is pill bearing the very ominous name
of its compounder, the active constituent
of which is cayenne. Great relief and
temporary comfort are commonly OBJ.
tanned by using IL as dinner pill.
If thus used only as temporary rem
edy for an acute and temporary, or ex'
ceptional, attack of indigestion, all is
we'll but the cayenne, whether taken
in pills or busted over the food, OF
stewed with it in curries or otherwise

Elephant Quotations.

The skill now displayed in teaching
! elephants is certainly wonderful, and a
herd of these animals is now necessary
| to any frst-class caravan. This has led
to an extensive traffic, and the London
importer sends the following advertise
ment to one of our leading dailies:
Burmese Elephants Healthy young
Burmese elephants for sale; four and
one half feet and under at f175 each |;
over four and one-half to five feet at
e200 each: delivered in London or Liv-
erpool; prices of animals from five feet
to full grown on application"
The price is certainly reasonable, be-
ing equal to 1915 for the small size and
$1,000 for the large. When one con-
siders that this is not one-tenth the
price often paid for fine horse, one
can not but acknowledge that it is cheap
enough. Barnum has invested more
money in elephants than any other pri-
vate individual, and he has made it
| highly remunerative. At one time he
had one of these animals harnessed be-
fore a pillow and kept in his field at
Iranistan. The Boston cars passed the
place daily and the elephant became a
good advertisement Barnum has prob
ably put quarter million in this kind
of stock, including Jumbo, whose cost
has been advertised at $4,000. 1t is
not probable that it was one-half of
that sum. A well-trained performing
elephant is worth S10,000-that is, it
will attract enough to make such an in
vestment remunerative-but show prop
erty is entirely fancy stock" There
is no fixed valuation. Adam Forepaugh,
Jr., is one of the best elephant-trainers
in the country, and his skill has enabled
him to rival Barnum. The latter, with
all his genius, never trained anything.
He pays good salaries, however, to ex-
perts, and before he purchased Jumbo
he made an engagement with his keeper
to accompany him to America. This
man has been with the famous elephant
for nearly twenty years, and controls
him as easily as he would q child

when taken habitually. Thousands of
poor wretches are crawling miserabIy
toward their graves, the victims of the
multitude of maladies of both mind and
body that are connected with chronic,
incurable dyspepsia, all brought about
by the habitual use of cayenne and its
continental cousins.
The usual history of these victims is
that they began by overlooking, took
the condiment to force the stomach to
do more than its healthful amount OF
work, using but little at first. Then
the stomach became tolerant of this lit
tie, and demanded more; then more,
and more, and more, until at last in
flammation, liberation, torpidity, and
finally the death of the digestive pow
ers, accompanied with all that long
train of miseries to which / have re-
ferred.-W Mattieu JVilliams, iaa

Eskimo Patience.

The number of years the Eskimo
will spend in plodding away at the
most simple things shows them to be
probably the most patient people in
the world.
When we were near King Williams
Land, L saw an Eskimo working on a
knife that, as nearly as L could
ascertain, had engaged a good
part of his time some six years preced-
ing that date. He had o fiat piece of
iron, which had been taken from the
wreck of one of Sir John Franklin's
ships, and from this he was endeavor-
ing to make knife blade, which, when
completed, would be about twelve
inches long. In cutting it from this
iron plate, he was using for chisel
an old file. found on one of the ships,
which it had taken him two or three
years to sharpen by rubbing its edges
against stones and rocks. His cold
chisel finished, he had been nearly as
many years cutting straight edge
along the ragged sides of the irregular
piece of iron, and when / discovered
him he had outlined the width of his
knife on the plate and was cutting
away at it. It would probably have
taken him two years to cut out this
piece, and two more to fashion the
knife into shape and usefulness.
The file which he had made into a
cold-chisel was such a proof of labor
and patience that it was a great GU
riosity to me, and 1 gave him a butch
er's knife in exchange for it. Thus al
most the very thing he had been so
long trying to make he now unexpect-
edly found in his possession. When /
told him that our factories, or big
igloos, could make moro than he could
carry of such butcher-knives during
the time we had spent in talking about
his, he expressed great surprise

An Incident OF the Fight ut White Oak
Bridge.

We had taken one prisoner, drunken
Irishmen, but he declined the honor of
going back with us, and made fight
with his naked fists. A soldier asked
me naively whether he should shoot
the Irishman or let him go. am glad
that told him to let the man go, to be
comfort to his family. That Irish
man must have had charmed life. He
was under the shelter of his gum-cloth
coat hung on stick, near the ford,
when citizen fired at him four times,
from distance of about fifty PAGES I;
and the only recognition that i could
see the man make was to raise his hand
as if to brush off fly. One of the
shells set the farmhouse on fire. The
owner came out and told us that Gen.
"Baldy" Smith was taking bath in the
house at the time. do not know how
refreshing the General found it, or
whether the story was true. We learn
ed, however, that Franklin's Corps was
in front of us, and that,item of news
was true.-Gen. ID. II. Hill, IN the

THE Rev. DIR. Richie, of Edinburgh,
though a very clever man, once met his
match. When examining a student as
to the classes he attended, he said: Il
understand you attend the class for
mathematics ?" "Yes." "How many
sides has circle?" "Two," said the
student. "Indeedl What are they ?"
What laugh in the court the students
answer produced when he promptly
said IAN inside and an outside"
The Doctor next inquired: "And you
attend the moral philosophy class,
also?" "Yes." well, you doubtless
heard lectures on various subjects.
Did you ever hear one ON cause and
effect?" "Yes." "Does an effect ever
go before cause?" "Yes.' "Give me
an instance "a barrow wheeled by
man." The Doctor hastily sat down
and proposed no more questions.
