Sixteen hundred yearling hei- fers, purchased by the Government for the Indians on the White Mountain reservation, arrived at Bowie station on Monday. They were in fine condition and pro- nounced by Inspector Brisk to be the finest lot of cattle he had seen for many a day. The price paid, delivered at Fort Worth, Texas, was eight dollars per head. Later, we learn that the cattle will reach San Carlos in two or three days and be issued to the Indians. They were purchased from savings on beef rations issued to the h. dians, which certainly is credita- ble to Capt. Pierce's management. The cost, delivered at San Carlos. will be S1293 per bead.-Silver Belt.

 has most excellent cartoon this

 pouting but pretty young girl
 talking to Britannia, who is hold
 ing a Home Ruler in her arms, while that obstreperous individual is pulling down her back hair. Britannia is evidently "worreted.n Behind the pair Uncle Sam is slyly hooking a fish in every sense of
 the word. The title Is How it
 May End" The following conver- sation ensues: Brltannia-"O, if he's right you'll have to give in, and if you're right you'll have to give in; so don't bother me about your fishery troubles. Don't you see I've got my hands full" Miss Canada-'Well, nanny, if that's how you feel, don't you think I'd better marry him to get rid of him?" Good for Miss Canada.

 \ problem, which is attracting to its study astronomers, relates to the earth as a timekeeper. We measure time by dividing either the period during winch the earth revolves around the sun, CT that in which it turns on its own exis. By the first method we measure year; by the second, a day. The earth, according to some astrono- mers, is losing time. Through two causes-the suns attraction and the friction, so to speak, of the tides the earth each year re- wolves more slowly on it's axis. The speculative question which these astronomers are discussing is whether in the end the earth will stop it's revolution upon its axis and will present aiways the same face to the sur. When that event occurs, there will be per. petual day in one part of the earth and perpetual night in the other But there is no occasion for im- mediate alarm. The rate at which the earth is supposed to lose tune only shortens the year by half a second in a century. There are more than 31,5O0,000 seconds in a year. Therefore, if the earth | ever does cease tc reYolve on it's ! axis, i; will be more than 5000, o01,hM years before il will stop.

EDWIN BOOTH.

I am told that Edwin Booths weakness for drink has been the haunting fear of his life. The moroseness which has generally been ascribed to the blight put on the family name by the brother is said to be due more to his constant battle with his appetite, which, like the genius of the Booths, tinges every drop of his blood-a consanguine curse which drove a father to madness and a son to murder. Edwin Booths daugh ter has been his guardian angel. Unfortunate in his marriage, hers was the controlling voice in his heart-the subtle spell wrought by watchful child, her constant, unseltish companionship and lov- ing regulation of his habits throw ing about him an influence and a barrier which resisted the worse man within him. Whatever in the way of stimulant that was al lowed him he invariably took from the hands of the daughter, whose gentleness was strength in weak ness. Thus be was able to triumph over his temptation. Last winter his daughter was married. Left alone with temptation, it seems to have outdcne him. This I learn in a reliable manner is the family skeleton in the Booth household Syracuse Standard.
