way, and heard, too, consists Of cowbeIls
worn by fashionable women. These Gu
rious adjuncts are shaped ike the old
fashioned tinkling bells which were sus-
pended to one cows neck in a herd, so
that the beasts could be easily found
when they strayed away In the woods,
but they are smaller, being only about
three inches long. The metal IS brass,
with embellished surfaces, although in
extreme cases Of extravaganza gold may
be used. They dangle at the ends Of
chains from the wearer's belt, and the
clappers tinkle against the inner sides
with more or less noise according to the
gait of the girl. If she treads hard and
fast, there is considerable ringing, but If
she be an easy stopper the sound is only
an occasional clink, something like that
Of the brass heels once worn on shoes.
It is to be hoped that these bells will not

United States Army Scouts.

United States army scouts may be d.
vided into two classes: white men, who
rank as chief Of scouts, and Indian scouts,
who are organized as military companies.
Tho white scouts are usually men who
have been employees of the San Carlos and
Mescslero Apache reservations. or Indian
agencies. They are. from constant associ-
alton with the Indians, well acquainted
with their character and habits, and fire.
quently speak a little Apache. The
Apaches, with few exceptions. speak
Spanish, and it is usually the language
they use in communicating with the In
dian agent and tie employees OF the
agency. A white man who makes himself
useful to the Indians by doing them little
favors is, in time, taught Ito read sign. !"
This may be said TO complete the education
Of chief Of scouts.

The Baby In Arabia.

O, the fortieth day the baby's head il
shaved-a ceremony which could scarcely
be performed in our own country, where
thick hair is usually Of q later growth.
This operation is considered very i'm
portant one, and thirty or forty persons
are witnesses to it, for the performance
of certain rites.
The disposal of the first hair is regarded
as very weighty matter; It must not be
burned nor carelessly thrown away. but
buried, thrown into the sea, or hidden in
some crevice of wall.
This fortieth day marks turning point
in the child's life. Heretofore it has only
been seen by its parents, the slaves on
duty and few intimate friends Of the
family; now, however, it may be seen by
anybody, and is regarded as fairly
launched on the tide Of existence

How Protection Helps American
Wool Men.

| How tfOfeciton nesp, Amerfc"n
Wool Men.
| The New York Tribune publishes a
chart which shows in very graphic
and striking way the influences of
Protection and Free Trade upon the
wool industry. in the United States
and in Great Britain respectively. In
1859 the American wool growers pro-
duced GO 900, 900 pounds Of wool, and
in the same year the British wool
growers produced LAC, 900, 900 pounds.
In 1883 the American wool growers
produced over 800, 100000 pounds,
and in that year the British wool
growers produced only 132, ,4l0, 900
pounds. This is To say, under twenty
four years Of Protection, the Ameri-
can wool product increased fve-fold,
while under the same period of Free
Trade the British product actually fell
off between 1000, 900 and 5000. 900
pounds. This statement ought to in
terest American Free Trade papers
ike the Springfield Republican which
pops up every now and then and want
to know why the United States has
not as many sheep TO the square mile
as Great Britain.
So also AS to the manufacture. In
1859 the British manufacturers con-
sumed 23S, 900, 900 pounds Of wool,
while American manufacturers used
only about one-third Of that amount,
or sc, 100000 But in 1882 our man
ufacturers consumed 1853, 1000, 900
pounds, while the British manufac-
turers in the same year used only
1888 900, 900 pounds Since the
changes which were made in the tariff
in 1888. there has been some decline
both in wool-growing and manufac-
ture. Our product of wool in 1887
was 265 900 600 pounds, and our cen-
sumption was 1854, 703,127 pounds
against 3s5 ,524 ,404 pounds in the
year previous and 400, 0,642. $40 pounds
IN 1885. which was the highest figure
ever reached. Whoever compares
this record of a quarter of \ century
in Protective America and Free Trade
England will see little reason to justify
US in abandoning system under
which we have made great strides in
national prosperity. in order to accept
that under which England has fallen
behind. Boston Journal.

sNASAL VOICES, cArARRA
AND FALSE TEETH"

A prominent English woman says
the American women all have high,
shrill, nasal voices and false teeth.
Americans don't like the constant
twitting they get about this nasal
twang, and yet it iB fact caused by
our dry, stimulating atmosphere, and
the universal presence of catarrhal
difficulties.
But why should so many Of our
women have false teeth?
That is more of q poser to the
English. It is quite impossible to
account for it except on the theory
of deranged stomach action caused
by imprudence in eating and BY
want Of regular exercise.
Both conditions are unnatural.
Catarrhal troubles everywhere pre-
vail and end in cough and consump-
ton, which are promoted by mall
nutrition induced by deranged stom-
ach action. The condition is . mod.
ern one, one unknown to our ances-
tors who prevented the catarrh, cold,
cough and consumption by abundant
and regular use Of what is now known
as Warmers Log Cabin Cough and
Consumption Remedy and Log Cabin
Sarsaparilla, two old-fashioned,
standard remedies handed down
from our ancestors, and now ex-
clusively put forth under the strong
est guarantees of purity and efficacy
by the world-famed makers of War
ner's safe cure. These two reme-
dies plentifully used as the spring
and summer seasons advance give
positive assurance of freedom, both
from catarrh and those dreadful and
If neglected, inevitable consequences,
pneumonia, lung troubles and con-
sumption, which SO generally and
fatally prevail among our people.

and the smaller the older, unless (as IN
sumo few cases may have happened)
some great difference in the time OF
beginning life may have caused
smaller but later-starting orb to be at
this present time younger than some
what larger planet. So soon as the
connection between slzc and relative
age is perceived, we see at once that
the various orders Of bodies within the
solar system can be classified according
to the several stages Of orb life which
they may be expected to illustrate,
and that as matter Of fact they sew
orally present the characteristics
which We are thus led to expect. The
largest orb Of all-the sun-represents
the first or glowing vaporous stage, the
babyhood Of orb life; the giant planets,
Jupiter and Saturn, present the char.
acterisiics Of the second or fiery stage;
the earth certainly and Venus prob.
ably present the characteristics Of mid
life: old age is recognized in Mars and
Mercury; and finally the death stage
is presented in the arid and desolate
surface Of our companion planet, the
moon. The sun, regarded as an orb,
is in that glowing vaporous stage
which, in the earth's case, signi6ed in
fancy. Yet, as regards his work as a
supporter Of life, our sun is in the
very fullness of his career. He may
quite possibly have no other special
work to do in orb life; and after he
has passed that stage when an orb is
still instinct with its primeval heat and
glows With its primeval luster, he may
remain a mass of idle matter, not
himself tho abode of life, like our
earth, nor any longer nourishing life
in other worlds as he did when in his
prime. Prof. r. A. Proctor, in the
Philadelphia Times.

DISCOVERY.

The first white man, Of whom there
10 any authentic record. To enter what
is now Lander County, was Captain
Jedediah s. Smith, who, at the head
of a band Of trappers, passed down
what WAS then known as Mays
Rivcr-now the Humboldt in 1926,
to California on trapping expedition.
He was followed in 1881 by Peter s.
Ogden On a similar expedition. In
1882 Milton Sublctt, at the head of a
band of hunters. struck the head
waters of Mary's River and followed it
for some distance in search of beaver,
but finding game and subsistence very
scarce, they turned their course north,
and, after extreme privation aud sui-
fering, reached the Snake River. On
their way from Mary's River to Snake
River, this party subsisted on insects,
and blood taken from their almost
famished animals.
In 1888 Kit Carson, in company
with a few companions. trapped Mary's
River from its source to it's sink; but,
owing to their having been preceded
the same year by Joseph Walker, at
the head Of a party on the same bust
ness, they met with poor success, and
went north to the head waters Of
Snake River.
The inst party of immigrants to
cross Nevada en- route To California,
was under the leadership of Captain
.. B. Bsrtleson, in the year lS4l
They started from Independence,
Missouri, aod alter haviag crossed
the Rocky Mountains, struck the head
waters of Mary's River and followed it
TO ITS sink; thence across the country
to the Carson and Walker Rivers and
into California. Other parties fol-
lowed, destined,to the same country,
their course being generally along the
Humboldt.
The originsl name of the Humboldt
was Nary's River, given to il by
Captain Jedediah Smith in respect to
his Indian wife, whose name was
Mary. Afterwards it was called
Osden's River in remembrance of
Peter Ogden, one of its earliest ex.
plorers. The name which il now
bears the Humboldt--wasg givep il
ny Gen. j. G. Fremont ia honor of
Baron Won Humboldt, the celebrated
German scientist and explorer.

prince Amadeus of Savoy to Princess
Letitia Bonaparte is fixed for Septem-
Der 18th, the place for the wedding,
Turin, Italy. We give new and faith
full portraits of the distinguished bride

Princess Letitia Bonaparte is daugh-
ter of Prince Jerome Bonaparte, who
is grandson Of Jerome. the Youngest
son of Napoleon 1. She is niece of the
man whom she is about to marry, who
is a widower, and whose sister, the
Princess Clotilde, is wife of Joseph

Princess Letitia," says writer i'll the

lieving as this section of the state
does. that il is inevitable destiny that
the port of Arkansas should be opened
in the near future, and that through IL
a vast commerce will reach the ocean,
she has only a desire that all state
animosities shall end over this ques-
ton. That inevitable destiny shall be
accepted, and that all sections OF the
state shall join heartily and unitedly
i'm the effort to secure deep water at
both Arkansas Pass and Galveston.
The day of division seems rapidly
passing away. Galveston realizes
that she has been making a losing
fight. That having everything to
lose and nothing to gain by perpetu-
ating it, that it will now be wise for
her to join forces with the rest of the
state, come to some settled agreement
as to what is best and go to Denver as
unit to impress upon that conven-
ton the absolute need of deep water,
both at Galveston and Arkansas Pass.

READY TO COMPROMISE.

The recent deep water convention
held at Fort Worth has already had
results. Not only has it awakened in
terest at home and abroad, but it has
changed the current of feeling i'll Tex
as concerning the relative merits of
Galveston and Arkansas Pass as pros
pective seaports, and given Galveston
to understand that she must surren-
der her arrogant claims to be the sole
seaport of Texas, or lose her position
as a seaport altogether. Galveston
went into the Fort Worth convention
with the proud boast upon her lips
that she could work her will in that
convention, being strong enough to
carry the delegates there present for
any scheme she should present. She
left that convention profoundly i'm
pressed with the fact that she was no
longer mistress of the state and feel
ing very uncertain as to how long she
would be able to retain her supremacy
DIS lulS UIcSS vi VIC gum lhIo W hOIC-
some lesson has been most beneficial
to Galveston and is destined to work
good to the entire state, at the
Denver convention. San Antonio,
having no objections to any govern
ment aid that can possibly be receiv-
ed for Galveston, and utterly unde-
sirous of seeing the great commercial
interests of that city placed in peril
will heartily rejoice to find Galveston
consulting her own interests by fall
ing into line with the sentiment OF
the state. That Galveston is DESTROYS
of conciliating where she has hither-
to only expressed contempt, of COM
promising where she has heretofore
been arrogant, of forming allies in
quarters where she has hitherto only
provoked opposition, is quite apparent
and this change dates from the close
of the Fort Worth convention. The
very unpalatable lessons that cOnven-
ton taught are bearing fruit. They
have sunk down deep into the con-
seriousness of her people and they are
ready now, having found out how
utterly impossible it was to keeL
Arkansas Pass and west Texas in the
back ground, they are ready now tC
join forces and put themselves on re,
cord as favoring the opening of Arkansas
Pass to a depth of twenty feet
or more with the aid of congressional
appropriations, based upon regular
chedule, so much money for so many
get of water; the regular Eads sche,
dule. This change of mind, if not Of
heart on the part of Galveston is mOst
gratifying to the people of southwest
Texas who have not, nor have they
ever had, any desire to handicap Gal.
weston in the race for commerce. Be.

biiity that she may become the queen
of Italy. have seen it recently as
serted-T know not with how much
truth-that the present crown prince
of Italy is not very strong, and
has not, humanity speaking,a very long
lease of life. However that may be,
this is sure, that some sudden acct
dent (which may Heaven avert
might easily take off King Humbert
and his son. Then it would be that
the Prince Amadeus would be the
rightful heir to the throne of Italy,
and his spouse would be the Queen Of
Italy"
The career of the bridegroom is one
of the most interesting in modern
history. There have been few men
indeed who have addicted crown.
Among them is Prince Amadeus
called by the Italians, Prince Amedeo
who was more than two years the
King of Spain. Prince Amadeus,
Duke of AOsta, is a brother of Hum
bert, the reigning King of Italy,
