Treatment of General Miles.

A letter from an army officer on the frontier says:
 "The people of Arizona nd New Mex ico take a deep interest D the contro- veTsy started by General Niles enemies In Washington, cOncernint his conduct of the Apache compsIgn, and on all sides, irrespective of vocation and poll tics. the people are loud D their praise Af General Miles for s-hlgetIng the Apaches. At the same tme they de- nounce the various attacksof his criilcs and the unjust and harsh htreatmeDt to which he has been subiectd. But this IS simply an illustration O how history repeats itself.

Neteor;c Showers in November.

The Providence, R. I. Journal says of November meteors: One otthe marked features of the month IS the recurrence Of the November meteoTs. The Novem- Der meieor-zone IS gigantic elllpse peopleds with countless myrscs of tiny meteors. Is periheliOn rests on the earth's orbit. its aphelion being beyond the orbit of Uranus. Its boundaries are therefore entirely within the solar sys- tenn, and It probably owes its presence within the solar borders 10 the httrac- tion of the planet Uranus, who captured comet when It came 100 near DIS mighty mass and changed its orbit into an ellits SC, The comet m dlsintegrAting is being transformed into swarms f par tlcles following in the tram or tbe comet and forming the meteoric showers On tbe l4 November the earth plunges through this meteor-z)n )ne, the meteors aud the earth moving with immense velocity and m different directions. The meteoTs come full ult upon the esrth's atmosphere, are milan ed by the cOncussion and descend m the form of falling stars. Comet l, loob, IS the name of the imprisoned comet, and tie maximum show occurs once It 33 years. for then when the comet comes round the swsrmIng particles are thick CT than leaves ID Vsllsmbrosa, and there Is ritable rain Of falling stars. The year 1899 will usher ID the grand exhi- bltion, and until that time observers must be contented with sometimes a few aad sometimes mGny meteors. There Is always an excitement ID oo. serving a fall of meteors, for one never knows what new and complicated won ders may arise to award the patient watcher. The November meteors are known ss LeoDids, for their radiant point is in the constellation Leo. The best time to look for them IS on the nights of the 18th, l4th and 18th, about 3 o'clock in the morning, when Leo Is vel up in the east. The moon, two days after the full. will interfere with the exhibition. The Bielan meteors have their anniversary on the 2Ith. They are called Andromids, as their radiant is the constellation AndrOmeds- There a was superb show of Bielsn mete- ors last year. and as this IS one of the oil years not much is anticipated, but it Is well for students of the stars to be on the lookout.

Will Our Meat Supply Hold Out!

A coptemporaneous writer fears that we are producing too much meat now, but that eventually We shall have meat famine, and cites figures to show that such IS the case. Without going hack to the last century for compari- sons. q period of thirty years will suffice, notwithstanding the fact that the live stock interests of the country were seriously depleted between 1S60 and 1870. In 1850 We had in the United States Is. .76S OOO head of cattle; ID ls69 ue had 25.620 900; in 1870 this numb-r hal been reduced by war to g S29,O ,OOO; in.IsSO We had 35. .925, ,00O. while in 1855 We had 45.0C0.OOO.
 As against thus we had in 1850 popu- latjou of 2lOO0,p00. in .SSO We had hO,- OOOOOO. and in 1885 probably 55,OOO,OOO peoule. Now, m 1850. We had 17.7IS,OOO cattle and 2IOO0.O00 people; in 1880 We had in round numbers, 36, coo. 900 of cat tle as against 5O.0O0,OO0 population.
 When We come to take into consider atiou the vast increase ID hogs, poultry, eggs, tnd fish, it does not look much ike a meat famine just now. In fact, the increase If live stock is year by wear increasing the meat capacity of the 0 ,uniry as against the increase or poIu- lstiop. and this notwithstanding the fac: that many eastern states have fallen of largely in their meat produc- tions per capita.
 We are sending of yearly vast sur plus of meat and meat products. Ibis is as it should be. It saves a depletion of the soil, ss Is the case when the raw grain products are exported. Attn, ugh to maintain our present beef supply in proportion to the population, We must in the next twenty years increase our cattle from 45.OO0,0O0 to 7O,0O0. coo head. and in forty five years from 1O,OOO,OOO to I+O.OOO.OO0 head.
 Allowing thst in 1905 We have lGO.- 00O.OOO of people. the increase of our cattle in twenty years tO 7O,OOJ,OOO, r. by no means impossible. But why beef alone? Are not hogs and sheep to be integers? May we nottske a lesson from France Tn the production of poul- try and eggs. and again another lesson ID using up portions of the csrcssses Of cattle, now almost thrown away, and this Is the production of savOry soup and stewsl With the increase of popu- Iatlon to overcrovding. some common sense ideas in cookiog will probably enter the heads of the mass of our pop ulstion, and instead of living On suloin they may live better in many respects nn what We now virtually throw away When every acre of our immense area. improved and unimproved, IS stocked with cattle, sheep, hogs, and poultry to their fulle-t extent, we may not expOr, 90 many bushels yearly of the cereal grains, but We may produce larger proportionate amount of meat per capita than we do LOW.
 It is to be hoped we may go on in- creasing our facilities for manufacturing to such & degree that 1t will not be re- quIred that We export either animal or vegetable products. If we continue to breed up our stock and at the same tune increase the bushel producing capacity of our land in grain. as has been in Eng land. and equally feasible here, there is little fear of a ID eat fannie in the future. except by means we cannot help.-Fsrm,

That the hot period has not witnessed a hundred cases of prostratiOn by the heat and sunstrOke, l lay entirely to the atti- tude of the press. It has been very warm, as oppressive as it was warm, and all the atmospheric conditions have been fav- orable tO prOstration, yet the cases were few. This is because the papers have not got up big scare, say like that of ISIS The city was So worked up on the subject of sunstrOke then that when man found himself but slightly troubled with heat. he at once collapsed.

Tn. Work of the Groeer's Clerk.

Said a mercantile friend the other day: aThere are some other lines of trade be- side the dry goods in which the hours of labor might very judiciOusly be curtailed. Take. for instance, the grocery business. Of course the grOcers deal in the neces- saries of life and, unless a systematic understanding is arrived at, the closing of their stores at an earlier hour than usual would involve inconvenience and possible suffering. But it would be a simple matter for the public to conform to an ar rancement which would give the dealers and their employees an occasional oppOr- tunity to look on the bright side of life.
 As it is today the average grocer's clerk is a perfect slave. His tour of duty begins at dawn, with journey to market and ends far in the night in the delivery of orders when all the rest of mankind are partaking of social enjoyment or securing needed rest The severe eXertiOns put upon him have materially affected the character of the men engaged in the business. As a general thing bright and vigorous young men now refuse to go into the grocery trade, preferring other Occu- pations where they can occasionally ob- tain slice of leisure, if it is only a thin ."-BroOklyn Eagle Walks"

Anecdote of Ned BuntIine.

An anecdote illustrative of the peculiar
 nerve of Col JudsOn l remember. There pulled into his wharf one rainy evening a couple of boats, each with two guides or bOatmen, and in each a most becomingly attired sportsman Depending upon Ned's wellknown hos pitality, the pharapherna- lia of rods, guns. etc, were being landed, when Ned came down and welcomed them. As he stood talking. from the bow of each boat were landed or exposed the saddles of deer. These caught Ned's eye. He asked about them Gt was in sea son); and the young men informed him with conscious pride as to where and how they got them; and told further of three more they had killed within forty eight hours all by floating Where are theys7 asked Ned. ~Oh, they were does and a fawn, and we left them on the bank" Ned called halt in the story; and directing the guides tO reload the boats, gave the party a very limited time to get of from his premises; and while they were going he delivered a lecture to the young men, which they doubtless well remember to this day. No argument or entreaty pre- vailed, and they went their way to shanty out further on.-Cor. Forest and Stream.

 DEAR SIR:-It has been given out by prominent members of the Democratic party that you will be elected by next legislature United States Senator for California. When the question IS put, Why you are to be? the answer is, that vou have expended. during the cam naien. large sums of money for the sue cess of the party (psrticularly the legIs- lative ticket, and are entitled to it-I, with msny others, very seriously question whether you will upon that ground allow yourself to become 8 csn- didate, because believe You to be pos sessed Of pride enough to repel so base and degrading proposition. Assum- ing that it has reached your ears, ask you to publicly declare that you are not a candidate and will not accept the office. confessedly rendered upon a mon eyed consideration alone. During the last canvass the republican party and its corporate allies were loudly inveighed against by every democratic orator. for their use of money in our politics. This WAS unjust; If the result of our sue cess IS to be the same and your money alone secures you the prize, we are 8 pocket borough still and Doodle IS King. No matter how competent you may be, or well equipped by lesrnIng and train ing, you. in my judgment, owe It to yourself. the state and your party to withdraw from the contest aud let some other competent and qualified democrat who has nSt spent a dollar in the cam psIgn, bs elected to represent California in thesenste. If you love you state and are sincere in your party allegiance, you will do tbis, and thus justly rebuke the attempt to make us the subject of ridi. cule and reproaoh. Every citizen who has the pride of his state at heart will If necessary, willing subscribe to make you whole for any outlay of the canvass
