Discrimination on Parallel nallroad..


 But. without supposing th4 1t they were committing a crime. and aa yet uncon- vinced of sin, these three railways, let us say, came together and determined to make a single rate to Chicago for all business received by each of the three lines; these receipts to be pooled and divided. Even mad they prodeeded upon basis of the single actual receipts to each for solicited business, there could be no difference to the pub blic either way; but they chose to consider the most complicated problem of a single tariff divided upon the items of expendi- ture. outlay and cost. What resulted? Simply that there was (as the interstate commerce law says there shall bel no dis elimination. But when the interstate law, while keeping the word of promise to the ear by saying there should De no discrimination, broke it to the hope by saying there should be no pool, what re- suited? Why, in the case of these three roads, discrimination in favor of one third against two-thirds! For. when each of these three roads makes its own tariff, of course, the road having the smallest fixed charges to pay makes the lowest rates. The dwellers along that line have the advantage of these low rates to which. of the other two rail ways, only one can approximate; while the third line must either go to the other extreme or defraud the holders of its seeurides.-Appleton Morgan in Popular Science Monthly.

The Needles Ghost.

Amorita was Mojave Indian about the Needles. The mud he used in curling his name was of peculiar tenacity which enabled him to dis pen. with the frippery of the toilet ior several months at time, and his high tile pants exposed his terminal faculties in 8 manner that drew the curious glances of Pullman tourists and Mohave belles. Captain Jim, as all nine of the white inhabitants of the rival hades called him, m t with an accident more real than poetic. A dear friend, one to whom the Captain confided many of the secrets which made his life so much a success, hit him in the back of the head with an axe. He doesn't know why he did it. Neither to,s the Captain. But Tim Is on it big. When the other de r friend of the Captain heard ot his hard luck, they got a pile of wood to- gethe", collected all of the personal property Of the deceased, which con sisted largely of necklace of toad stools and the reputation of being the biggest thief in the valley, and put them together with his squaw's cook ing utensils and matinee bonnet on the pile and set fire to it. Jim made dandy fire. His nearest relations say he burned beautifully and must have been well seasoned Jim did not make any remarks until the thing was all over. There are few instances of any one occupying such remarkably | prominent position at similar oc- Gas ion and saying less. But Jim has got his work in since. Up there at the Needles they say that he forgot something when be went to the hap py hunting grounds and comes back frequently. He walks up and down the platform of the depot; taps on window panes and takes pains to give pains to his dearest friends. He haunts the man who worked the axe racket so successfully. His dusky ghost has been seen on dress parade by five white men at Needles, and 1t is known that they have lied only few times 2 week about it. He carries a ghastll axe and seems to be looking for hi: dispatcher-not the train dispatcher
 His ghostly head wears a large anC well shaped hole in the back where
 the axe is supposed 10 have made it
 way to where the savage brain wasn't
 Although Jim is having a large run
 and it is believed that his engagement
 will be ghostly success, the nine in
 hahitants of Needles threaten to emi
 grate to Los Angeles if Jim doesn't g

ALL AROUND THE HOUSE.
Fancy Nall Decoration on Wood-An old
 Style of HnndiwOrk Revived

New and taking in decorative work is sur face ornamentation of wood in geometrical patterns formed with fancy nails This is a revival of an old art of which specimens are on antique chests and boxes of English workmanship. It is now applied to various fancy articles, such as jewel boxes, book covers, music portfolios, photograph, mirror and picture frames, book racks, reading desks, screens, etc.
 The work is very easy to carry out and if carefully done has a good effect. The only tools required are hammer and pricker Soft wood like pine, alder or lime, about half an inch thick, ought to be chosen, and the surface can either be stained, enameled, or covered with plush, velvet, cloth, felt or leather The designis first marked on tissue, tracing, or thin note paper, and fixed to the surface of the wood with drawing pins
 Each point, where nail head is to appear, has to be pricked in the wood, more or less deep according to the size of the nail. The nail is then inserted in the prick hole with the fingers, but not finally fixed with the hammer until all the nails have been placed and the paper beneath removed. To prevent the nail spikes from bending, and the mai heads from being injured, fat piece of wood ought to be interposed between the nail head! and the hammer. The nails are the same al those which upholstercrs use, and of many shapes, in yellow or white metal, silvered ol gilt, in bronze or oxidized blue color and il black. The color of the nails depends on tn, color of the material which is to be decorat ed. Much work is done with simply the or dinary brass headed furniture nail, which i always easily obtainable, and it furnishe very effective ornamentation with small out lay of trouble and expense.

Soon after her wedding( her husband, barber, died, leavingh her in pos session of the secret pf beautifying the complexion. She continued the bus mess, but it was not sufficiently remu- nerative, whereupon sh e conceived the idea of compelling her customers to pay more literally.
 She advertised extensively. promising the most remarkable Improvement by the use of her wash, but enj joining abso- lute secrecy upon the ladies whom she proposed to benefit. Soon her business increased and then she put her scheme into operation Selectinig the wealthiest of patrons she gave tH Hem mixture which when applied to the face brought out blotches instead of roses. When they applied for relief, she would demand an exorbitant sum to effect cure which her vic tins only too gladly paid. She contin- ued this business successfully for some time. until Miss Nichols, who was vic- timized, had her arrested for swindling She was tried in Paris in 1875 and sen- fenced to prison. After serving several years she managed to escape and sailed for New York, where she lived very quietly. One day she attended church, and, overcome with remofse, sought the officiating priest and confessed her sins, stating at the same time her readiness to do penance. The priest advised her to forsake her evil ways and spend her days in prayer.
 She at once came to this city and sought the hut on the Cato onsville road in which she passed tho remainder of hel life. She prayed constantly and ofter scourged herself. Her only companion: were the dumb animals she collected Up to within few days before her deatf she enjoyed good health. All her prop erty will probably go to fhe Catholic church. Baltimore Cor.

IT is stated upon apparently good authority that the Apache Indians now at Mount Vernon barracks, Ala bama, known as Geronimo's band, will be returned to the San Carlos res ervation in a short time, and be given their liberty. There is danger in this movement-not so much to the set -..lars of Arizona as to the Indians themselves. There is a decision of h. c Supreme Court that holds these Indians amenable to the civil terri torial law for their crimes, under con gressional enactment. The process of our courts will extend to the reserv- a;ion and the Indians will be called upon to stand trial for their butchelies. The result will be satisfactory to the suffering people of Arizona and will place the Indians beyond the influence of the fatal sentimentality that returns them to their old haunts.

Some people call him A. ". Marble but more people know him as WI Il Mar ble. He used to be one of the b rightes1 arrtl .vitti,,ct rsn,, the Chic. - - hes- VT of trade, and many of his clevertsayings still live in the comic history of that body. He it was who once declared that he was happy because he was even with the world-that he owed just as many people as he did not owe. During one period of his connection with the board he was in the office of John R. Bensley. an ex-president of the body. AIarble was sharp trader and valuable man in any office, but business had been very dull for some time and he came to the conclusion that in the course of short time his head would fall in the basket with others, to curtail expenses. So he was ready for it. According to lis ex- pectations it came one morning., He was in the office when MT. Bensley\came in, looking crosser than usual, and sum- moned him into his private den. ''Will- iam,'' he said, when Marble had sa,ated himself, business of late has been ivery dull. 1 am very sorry. butt and here Marble interrupted him by saying: ''I' understand perfectly. MT.

HE Prospector reports the discovery in Ramsey's canyon in the Dragoon mountains, of a remarkably perfect site for reservoir. The canyon. near its head, runs through solid noun tain, the channel being about twelve feet wide, three hundred feet long and about the same height, above which is a natural basin five hundred feet wide by twenty-five hundred feet long. No other outlet for the water exists and for a limited area of farming land among the foot hills this would fur nish good supply of water for use during the summer months.

Doing Up Curtains.

A more economical method of doing up curtains than to send them to laundry is de scribed by good housekeeper as follows: Dust them thoroughly, and if there are any breaks or tears in them, mend them before washing Do not wiring them, but pass through clothes wringer, keeping them straight; boil few minutes, then rinse in clear water. Blue the starch trifle, but do not make them too stiff; then lay sheets on the floor and spread the curtains on them, taking care to stretch the work straight and true. Pin the edgeson the sheet and let then lie till perfectly dry, and you will be con vinced that home laundrying of nice curtains is far preferable to hiring them donE up, as they will last longer and look nicer than when pressed by hot irons.

This Is a correct principle, following the methods of teaching child, first in its primer and then in succession its readers" In the northwest, while water may be necessary for the cu!ti- vation Of lands, the system has never been put into practical operation and so the commission is likely to gain lit- tie information. When our wise law makers reach southern California, Ari- zona, New Mexico and Colorado, they will find farmers earning livelihood by cultivating their land by irrigation, and from inquiries to them will gain knowledge gained by practical experi- ence.-Arizonan.

THROUGH an oversight in the enact ment of the present school law, which took effect on July list, 1887, its pro- visions for the first election were made retroactive, and Superintendent Strauss holds that such election, held upon the Saturday previous to said July lst, was illegal. The first elec- ton under the law was therefore held on the last Saturday in June, 1888, at which time but one school trustee was elected. He states that it is necessary to elect two trustees at the coming election-next Saturday.

Forest Destruction and Floods.

NoTE-Brief articles and communications upon forestry subjects of importance to the Rocky mountain region, are solicited by Edgar T. Ensign, forest commissioner. Colorado springs; Colo who will endeayor to supply, in nation of this nuture.
 The recent appalling occurrence in the Conemaugh Valley is forcible reminder of the intimate relations ex- isting between forest destruction and floods. It Is a lesson which should sunk deep into the minds of all. This calamity, in connection with the dis astrous ihundatiOn of the Ohio valley some years ago, and the periodical overflow of the Mississippi, all point to the inevitable consequences of reck- less and extensive devastation of our mountain slopes. Although the break ing of the dam was the immediate eause of the late misfortune, tne primary cause was the naked c531di- ] tion of the adjacent mountain, from whence came the deluge of waters in such volume that no human agency could withstand it. Had the noun tains possessed their natural covering of timber and undergrowth, the de- scent of the storm water would have been gradual, with comparatively lit tie resulting injury.
 The dire event is full of warnings for this and other mountainous dis tricts. It teaches the urgent need of preserving the forests-as a prime factor in regulating the flow of streams. In the Rocky mountain region, through the agency of the general government, steps gre being taken preliminary to the construction oi reservoirs and canals for irrigation purposes. The extreme danger of so placing reservoirs or dams that. the retained waters become d menace to the country below should now be evident to all, Engineering skill and good sense should unite in the prose cution of all works for the storage of water. How easy it would be to so locate and construct storage reservoirs along our mountain ranges that Den, yer, Manitou, Pueblo and other valley towns would be in constant jeopardy Let us pause long enough to reflect upon these matters, and act in the light of reason and sad experience.- Colorado Springs Gazette.
