Mrs. GERALDINE THREADeILL was the wife
of Frank Threadgill and the daughter of Rev.
E. G. Trimble, beloved Presbyterian minister
now residing in Louisville Ky. She fell asleep
in Jesus in the city of Lynchburg Va May %,
1885.
This announcement will bring sorrow to
wide circle of friends. Mrs. Threadgll was
born in Paris, Tenn, and had resided in several
other Southern States and her gentle and con-
hding nature coupled with her many graces of
person and character had won confidence and
affection at every stage of her pilgrimage. In
this city, where she had lived but few years.
and where she was a member of the First Pres
byterian church. she Will be long and tenderly
remembered. 1t is the bride who exclaims in
" The Song of songs Thy name is as ONT
ment poured forth :" but there is a response from
Jesus when he says concerning Mary, Where
soever this gospel shall be preached in the whole
world, there shall also this that this woman
hath done, be told for a memorial of her." The
memory of the just is blessed" 1.-THE righteous
shall be In everlasting remembrance"
love them that love me; and they that
seek me early shall find me-" This promise
was illustrated in the life of this Christian lady
Her new life began when she was yet child.
That the life of God was in her soul was mani
tested In the legitimate way. She craved spir
ltual food was active In the Lords service and
grew in grace. 1t may be reward 10 two of
her former pastors to know how much she had
pro6ted under their care. Rev. S. W. Davies,
D. D., of Fayetteville, Arkansas, had greatly
stimulated, well as wisely directed, her Chris
tian activity. Rev. A. r. Kennedy, pastor of
the Second Presbyterian church of Little Rock.
had also been helper of her JOY. 1t may also
be a comfort to her many friends to know that
her father, one of her sisters, and brother were
with her In her last sickness She said she
would not feel ready to die until her father
came. He was her father in spiritual things as
well as in a natural sense.
"And he shall SIT as a refner and purifier of
silver" These words of Malachi were verified
in the case of our friend. For many years she
was afflicted. Her suffering was often intense.
The Lord cast her into the glowing crucible.
The refner is beautifully represented as coming
and sitting down by the crucible, that the fire
may not be too hot, or the process left incom-
plete. He bends in patient love over the fur.

1t is medicinal preparation, and, at
the same time, an elegant and clearly toilet
article. Its action upon the scalp is health
full. 1t nourishes the glands which support
the hair, and causes thin, dry hair to be-
come thick, soft, and vigorous. 1t restores
the color OF youth to locks which have
become faded with age or disease; and
relieves and cures itching, caused by
humors of the scalp. DR.. George Gray,

Bulls for the Range.
IRaton N. NJ Cnmnt.l

hat0n IN. NJ Gomez.
The calf crop the last few years has
been so small that steps were taken Il
year ago to increase the number Of bulls
on the range. For this purpose meet
ings were held in all parts of the coun-
try last year. and resolutions were
unanimously passed that each cattle
owner put on at least one grade bull for
every 90 female calves branded the pre-
vious year. This was done by nearly all
our cowmen and was step in the right
direction, and the calf crop next year
will undoubtedly show gratifying results.
But the movement seems to have stop
ped with the action of last springs
meetings. This should not be. The
range was increased by as many she
cattle last year as the year before, and
if the cattle raisers wish to keep up
the percentage Of increase they must
keep putting on the requisite number
of bulls, and accordingly there should
be a greater number turned upon the
range this year than last. And 1t should
be done without the necessity of calling
a meeting. Each man engaged in the
business has made up his tally of last
seasons increase, and ought to know
what proportion of bulls he should fur
nish the range, and supply them for
next spring.

Rocky Mountain Cattle.

The true policy of all range cattle
raisers is to breed up to the highest pos
sible standard without losing the rustl-
ing qualities. OF course you can get a
herd SO highly bred that they would be
worthless on the plains or in the noun
talns, if turned loose to shift for them
selves in winter. To ascertain the point
at which to stop improving the blood is
one of the main studies of the practical
herd owner. You must have the largest
possible amount of beef, but you must
not get an animal that will not help
himself.
Our friends in western Wyoming,
Utah and Idaho, are more virtually in
terested in this breeding-up problem
than are those farther east From the
Salt Lake basin, for instance, the freights
to Chicago are SO high that there is no
profit in sending a thousand or eleven
hundred pound steer to market. All
beef from that distant point should be
fourteen to seventeen hundred pounds
gross. Then there would be some mar
gin for profit, and the chances of hitting
4 bad market. Fortunately for that re-
mote district, the natural conditions are
in favor of this high class beef. From
Green river west the country is cut up
by streams having broad bottom lands
that are exceedingly rich, and that will
produce alfalfa in Unlimited quantity.
These Will supply hay enough to winter
feed all the steers from the adjacent
plains and hillsides, and round them up
into ripe cattle for the market. But in
order to get the requisite size you must
infuse new and better blood. Whether
your choice be Hereford, Durham or
PoliedAngus. get the best beef families
and cross up until you have an animal
that gives you the desired weight. A
few dollars more on the price of bull
is nothing if he has the Individual merit
and comes Of the right family. Blood
will tell Northwestern Live Stock

ArlEona'S N anne.

The name of Arizona was not bestow-
ed through any poetic arrangement OF
Indian or Spanish names, but is derived
from "Aridus' and "zona." Aridus,
dry-from "arco,' to be dry. From this
root also comes the word "arid," which
signifies dry, exhausted of moisture,
parched with heat; as for instance, an
arid waste. This is without doubt the
root of the prefix (Arl) of the word Ari-
zona. There is no difficulty in the way
as to the suffix. That is plain enough to
any one who has studied word analysis.
sZona," or "zone," simply means a
girdle or belt. Hence we have the d:f-
ferent zones or belts On the earth's sur
face-two frigid, two temperate and one
torrid-to mark the average heat from
the suns rays upon certain portions OF
the earth. Hence the suffix "zone," or
''zona," and we have the entire word
Arizona, whose meaning is simply "a
dry and parched belt of country This
