Dr. NJ. L. Holbrook, well-known writer on hygiene, paid, in parlor lecture, a tribute to what may be call ed the tonic or medicinal properties of fruits. We copy a paragraph of per sonal experience: "One or two pounds of fresh, ripe fruit daily eaten by most persons would make doctors visits less frequent. There seems to be cleans ing action to good acid fruit. and es- pecially to the apple and the grape. Children and the young should be al lowed all they wish. In Daleware, doctors sometimes send certain pa tients into the peach orchards and tell them to eat all they want Wilson, the ornithologlst, suffered with chron- ic malaria, which his medical adviser could not cure, and he cured himself by eating wild strawberries.

 ation of the people as one in every way
 worthy their confidence and favors.

Ancient Irrigation in Arizona.

The recent investigations of the
 Hemenway expedition in southwestern
 Arizona threw light on the irrigation
 system of the ancient residents of that territory. It is estimated that at one time not less than 100000 inhabitants peopled the valley of the Gila and its tributary, the Salt river. This coun- try is now of desert character, except where modern irrigation works have been established The present settlers are beginning to utilize what remain of the canals constructed by their ex- tinct predecessors. The ancient ditch es carried the water across the flat lands beween the Gila and Salt rivers for distance of from fifteen to twenty miles. They were large enough to be navigated, and from their elevated i position in some cases, were evidently intended to carry water upon range of country left out of the calculations of the present inhabitants The pro- gress of irrigation in that part of Ari- zona, promises, at no distant day, to restore to that region its prehistoric density of population. The high temperature and aridity which prevail there necessarily cause rapid evapora
 tion, and when the development of the canal system begins to draw seriously upon the water supply, means O economizing waste will be in demand In Persia and other portions of Asia like conditions have been met by GOV cred canals, and the system may yer commend itself both in Arizona anc California. Nature has done some thing in that direction in portions o Arizona. Several important streams at points in their course sink below tn, surface and fellow subterranean chan nels for long distances, subsequent, reappearing. In some instances thes
 underground water courses have beel traced and tapped, and water obtainet for irrigation purpOses.-S. +. Bulletin
