Jean, dun geste loyal, lui tendit

An Excellent Suggestion.

Delegate Joseph, of New Mexico, introduced in the house bill "to settle land titles in New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado" Colonel C. D. Poston sends the EPITAPH from Nogales an amend ment which he says is before congress. The amendment is as follows:
 And be it further enacted that upon the finding and report of said commis- sion that the secretary of the interior be and he is hereby authorized and directed to cause to be issued to such claimants as may have adjudications in their favor for lands claimed under Spanish and Mexican titles lieu-land scrip for an equal amount of land, in denominations of I6o acres each, as near as may be, which lieu-land scrip shall be receivable at any land office of the United States in the Territories of New Mexico and Ari- zona and the State of Colorado for any land on the public domain, subject to entry and not mineral. And all the lands segregated or claimed under said Spanish or Mexican grants are hereby restored to the public domain.
 The plan outlined in the above amend ment appears to us as an excellent one It would afford very satisfactory solu. tion of the complicated land-graat ques' tion, and we trust it may be adopted.

Japan Ladies.

The ladies of Japan show not less readiness to adopt Western ideas and usages than the Japanese of the other sex. The bellies of Zedo order dresses from Paris; and the progress of imita- tion has gone so far as to make knowl- edge of the fashionable dresses of Flu rope an indispensable feature in the education of every Japanese lady who respects herself. A riding school is about to be opened in Yokohama ex- clusively for the use of native ladies, and it promises to be largely patron ized. The Japanese Government is about to take a step which will have the effect of bringing the more solid branches of Western education within reach of the female subjects of the Mikado. A number of young women are about to be sent to Europe to re ceive thorough training in the essen- tial branches of female education as it is understood there, with view to their subsequent employment as teachers in their own country when qualified.

What an Enterprising Drummer Did

'I had little experience the other night" said drummer, ''that took all of my nerve and gall to bear up under. Ever since I've been on the road I've made it principle to meet all engage ments. More than once have 1 skipped three or four towns in which I was sure of selling big bills of goods in order to keep my engagement to call on some girl or other. When agree to be at certain place at given minute you can bet your last dollar I'll be there. Well, the other day landed in St. Louis, and suddenly discovered that in a moment of forgetfulness I had promised to take two girls to the theatre that night. The girls were not acquainted, either. I hate liar and sneak, and the girls brothers were customers of mine, and so, after thinking the whole thing over, made up my mind I'd live up to my contract. So l bought my seats at two theatres, engaged my carriage, and pre- pared for the campaign. I sent word to the first one that I'd call for her rather early, and to the other that l might be few minutes late. whirled No. of, seated her, excused myself for a minute before the rising of the curtain, slipped out, and in two seconds the horses were on run for No. 2. I got her in her seat five minutes after the curtain rose Stayed the act out, excused myself, went back to the other, apologized, and ev- erything was all right. l spent the eve ming fitting from one to the other, and got my moneys worth out of the hack man, as made him hump. made in- quiries as to the hour the plays would be over, and found I had twenty-five minutes leeway. Then I made such good use of those twenty-five minutes that got No. l home and was back after No. 1 just as the curtain went down. To do this cost me SIP, and the next day had to skip out of town be- cause the hackman was after me with a bill for one of his horses, which had died from overdriving, but not till after had sold big bills of goods to the girls brothers. Besides, had the satisfac- tion of keeping my engagements and of performing an unparalleled feat in the theatre-going business. That's the kind of hustler am" Chicago Her aid,

A Queer Lake.

Sugar Lake, in this county" says the Craactord County Pennsylvania) Journal, lis beautiful little body of water, and is undergoing continual chemical change that should attract the scientist. Eighty years ago the average depth of water in the lake was about thirty feet, but it is now only fifteen feet deep. The surface of the water stands at high water mark, but the bottom is filling up or rising. It is a most singu- lar phenomenon that every year in the month of August the water of the lake becomes milky substance, and, after a little change in the temperature, small white particles like cheese curd are formed and prccipitated to the bottom, and are slowly but surely filling up the lake. After these particles are formed and settle the water becomes clear and pure. At the rate this chemical change is now going on, fifty years more and the water of Sugar Lake will have be- come solidified into solid loaf of sugar, or, what is more probable, formed into a great bed of limburger cheese. During the season of the year when the chemical process is in operation there is pungcnt evidence to sustain the latter theory"

Strange Chinese Custom.

A correspondent of the North China
 HerdH calls attention to strange in
 stance of Chinese belief and practice
 with regard to the human soul, which lately came under his notice. Lying l awake at o'clock a. m., he heard in
 the street close to his house two strange
 answering voices. Evidently two per
 sons were engaged in this weird dra-
 matic performance, one representing q
 Departing soul, the other acting as the
 friends and relatives deprecating any
 Departure. The first actor gave a low
 prolonged cry, which was answered by
 loud and earnest Come, come"
 After a pause the cry and the answring
 eall were repeatcd; this went on for
 about ten minutes, when suddenly the
 inarticulate cry ceased. The second
 actor, in an agony of distress at the de- yparture into the unseen of the soul he had been entreating to stay, shouted loudly in voice which he had no doubt |hoped would reach to the confines of |the spirit world, Return, return lcOme," at the same time calling by |name. Then there was another pause; presently the low cry was heard as at distance. Come, come," eagerly re- ,spOnded the actor; and now the cry land the answer followed one another |more rapidly till the cry seemed close to lthe called, and in smothered chorus as Pf welcome the performance, which was probably directed by Taoist necro- Fmancer, ceased, It is described as be- ing strangely impressive in the stiffness of the night, notwithstanding the gro- tesqueness of the superstition, but of course it was not known whether there was an actual death in this case, within twelve hours of which the Chinese call for the soul to return, or whether it was only case of serious illness, fainting or collapse. This peculiar custom, it ap- pears, varies in different parts of China. Up the Yangtsze, it is usual for two women to perform the office. When a man dies suddenly the women walk through the streets, one calling out the name of the deceased and the other responding, II am coming" the idea being to prevail on the wandering spirit of the deceased to return to its material abode, which, it is presumed, it has abandoned.-Nature.

The Washing Problem Solved.

The chief argument used by the ladies against the removal of the Chinamen is the difficulty of getting washing done. The force of this argument has been re- moved by modern invention-the "Lit- tie Joker" washing machine. This ma chine is light, simple, cheap and durable. A child, or a weakly woman, can work it. It saves more than two-thlrds of the time and three-fourths of the labor It washes clean and saves wear of clothes. Call and inspect it. Mrs. Grant, agent.

The amount of power wasted by shaft

The amount of power wasted by shaft ing being out of line, of insufficient size, and imperfectly coupled, says the Industrial American, can hardly be estimated. Great as is this loss, that from badly laced, crooked, stiff, and generally outrageous belting, is but little less. In some establishments a belt lacing of sufficient size for the main belt of the establishment is considered plenty good enough to lace three-inch belt with, and is used accordingly. A punch large enough to make holes for the biggest lacing is, of course, neccs- sary, and it has the advantage of an- swering for all sizes of belt. The ap- parent advantage of having but one ting; the result in belt efficiency, how ever, is something which would astonish the counting house, if it could under stand the figures.
