A correspondent of the San Angelo
Standard, writing from Las Cruces, New
Mexico, condemns that territory for
stock-raising purposes. He does not
think it ever will be as good for stock as
Texas is, as the grass will not bear tramp
ing, and the land is loamy, loose soil
that will not sustain heritage. The water
is all up in the mountains and can be got
down to the valley ranches only at great
expense. He does not think that more
than two or three ranches in Dona Ana
county are paying expenses, as the grass
is so thin that fifty acres are needed for
the support of every head of stock. This
opinion comedies with that so often ex-
pressed by the Stock journal, that going
from Texas to New Mexico to better ones
condition is like Jumping out of the fry
ing pan into the fire.

In this age the working OK is considered
SLOW But on most farms there is great
deal of work that the OK could do with
profit. The bull is a necessity on a stock
farm. Why not break him to work, and
thus allow him to earn his living and re-
duce the chances of danger and injury
from his too frequent habit of vicious
ness? Bulls are trained to work in the
yoke, and to drive a tread power to saw,
churn, cut fodder, ETC., and they do the
work as we'll as steers or horses. Bulls
thus worked are never vicious. They
work off the inclination to be Inruly, and
are scarcely more dangerous than the
trained OK. Break the bull to work. Ma
tional Stockman.

Seen from the Gallery.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Telegram writes about some of
the things seen from the gallery of the
House of Representatives. He sometimes
sees u member making eyes at some fair
charmer in the private gallery. More fire.
QuentIy ne sees him smoking on the floor,
in violation of the rules of the House.
Sometimes he sees Il member sitting up in
his chair with his chin on his white shirt
front and his hands hanging loosely at his
side, fast asleep. The habitue then makes
O mental calculation of how many hours
he worked the night before. He makes
the same calculation concerning those who
are stretched out on the sofas. If he
knows the men he knows all about it. But
the most striking and picturesque thing
he sees is the soles of shoes. These he
sees on the desks in various parts of the
House. Behind them are members Of
Congress. He could tell you who they are,
but don't like to, SO he says their shoes
hide their faces. Some of the members
put but one foot on their desk at time
Others put both up and sink low down in
their chairs while they smoke. There is a
man in the gallery who is making list of
members who are thus afflicted. He has
nearly dozen on the list.
Some members are given to telling
funny stories to select circle of friends.
and when the habitue sees q little knot or
members around one of these he knows
when to expect to see them laugh. 1t is
always easy to tell one of these assem-
blages from caucus. When there is a
crowd aboat Reed, of Maine, it is known
that he is in good trim and is expressing
his views of Passing events in his peculiar
characteristic way.

A GREAT DANGER.

The late Bnyard Taylor, who probably
travelled more over the surface of the
globe than any living man, claimed that
he could not only tell the nationality of
any persons whom he met by the way in
which they conyersed, but could also tell
the locality of the particular country
from which they came. This reminds us
of an incident which occurred to the
writer in conversation with Mr.. Taylor at
one time. He said:
have seen every land and people,
and do not hesitate to say that for energy,
intensity and enterprise. the inhabitants
of America exceed any on the face of the
globe. These qualities are their inheri-
lance. Their ancestors landed upon a
blenk coast in winter, with savaGes before
them and an ocean behind, and they not
only conquered the country, but even
caused much of its barren soil to become
richly productive. This energy, this in
tense push, is inherited by their descend
ents, and the people of America to-day
are s,d ani nc by any PEOPLE in the
perhaps, unfortunate that these qualities
have been secured too often at the eX-
pense of health and we find exhaustion
debility more common among the men
and women of America than in any other
locality on the face of the globe"
Mr.. Taylor spoke from rich experience,
and he spoke the truth.
The nervous, mental and physical eX-
haustion which is undergone must be
replaced by blood making nerve making
and brain making clements, or this state
of depression will continue. Albumen
in the system is precisely the element
which Is required; aud beef, malt and
hops will produce albumen quicker aud
in greater quantity than any other
known combination These elements have
been happily combine d in the great prepa-
ration, Hoptonic, and the revival of physi-
cal energies in thousands of people has
fully proven its power and value.
These are notremarks given ut random,
but serious and earnest truths demanded
by facts an confirmed by scientists.
There are hundreds of men and women
In their graves who might be alive and
happy had they known the truths and
acted upon!them in time, and it Is painful
to think of the Intense suffering, extern
sive sickness and vast number of deaths,
all of which might have been avoided
If people had only realized and known.
