ABOUT WEAK HEARTS.

Physical Exercise the Best Remedy fol
This and Other Ailments.
A weak heart seems to be decidedly
more practically inconvenient than a
weak head. If man or a woman be
a little feeble about the region of the
brain it is generally of little moment
Some post or other will be provided il
the conduct be respectable; and lack
of brains is too common to excite any
particular attention either in the per-
son concerned or in those about him.
But weak heart insists upon putting
itself in evidence at all sorts of con-
venient and announcement times. II
its possessor finds himself rather late
for his morning train, and makes a
''spurt" to recover lost time, the ex-
ertion is usually followed by such a
'.bad quarter of an hour" that he re-
solves in future rather to lose dozen
trains than to risk temporary sufoca-
ton or permanent syncope again.
The practical evils which are asso-
ciated with feeble heart are innumer-
able, and will readily suggest them
selves to those who possess SO unsatis-

hearts are by no means so common as
is often supposed. Many a man who
thinks he has got one is merely dys-
peptic; many woman owes her symp-

the symptoms of heart weakness will
disappear. Even when the heart is
genuinely weak" the weakness is not
always due to special disease of that
organ. 1t may be only part of gen.
eral weakness of the whole system
which is easily durable. The majority
of weak. flabby hearts are weak and
fabby because every other muscle in
the body is weak and fabby. and this
general weakness and daboiness is due
to want of vigorous use. Exercise Of
the legs and back aud arms gives addi-
tional and much-neede6 exercise to the
heart, and the heart grows strong by
vigorous exercise exactly as every
other muscular organ does. for the heart
is a muscle. If a man has no organic

nerves are abnormally sensitive. They
should strengthen them with Eostetter's

Future of Cattle.

The Western World in reviewing the future of the cattle trade says: A gentleman who possesses unusual ia cilities for acquiring accurate inform ation touching the cattle range in- terest, remarked in our hearing few days ago that from the best data he had been able to gather, he was satis- fled that the production of cattle on the range-that is the actual raising of calves-had fallen off at least 50 per cent within the past three years. He remarked in this connection that the reason why this great reduction in the product of the range country had not already seriously affected the market for beef, was found in the fact that the supply of three-year-old steers had not been very greatly less ened; 1t was when the range product the calves of this and the preceding two years-began to come into the market that the reduced supply would be felt And then he began to specu- late upon the probable result of this range supply upon the general cattle interests of the country. Our friend argued that the production of @cattle on large scale on free ranges was practically thing of the past, and henceforth both food and shelter must be provided, except in few especially favored localities. He added that al talfa, produced by means of irrigation in the valleys, must be the chief source of winter food, but that when it came to this, most of the advantages which these cattlemen had hitherto enjoyed over those of Illinois, Iowa and Mis-. souri would be gone. It seemed to be his settled opinion that the country would wake up to the fact in a year or two more, that the little short of a beef famine was upon us, and that ultimately the production of beef would be relegated to the great corn and grass producing region of the cen tral west as the place where beef will be permanently produced cheaper than in in any other part of the Unit ed States.

AIden,s Manifold Cycloredia

Volume XIV of Alden's Manifold Cyclopedia includes the titles from Fluctuate to Galvanism. Following the same general lines as its predecessors 1t Is, in some respects, a marked ad- vance upon them in solid worth. We notice with pleasure the large number of practical topics that are treated, and the thoroughness and accuracy with which they have been handled. There is also the same thorough treat ment of scientific matters and of the more abstruse subjects which natural ly belong to such work Other pub fishers have demonstrated the possi- bility of making costly and elaborate cyclopedias which are invaluable to professional men, but far above the range of ordinary life Alden has shown, in the Manifold, how 10 make for a low price cyclopedia which will serve the needs of the great majority of scholars and also be especially suit ed to meet the everyday wants of the masses of reading people. The mer- chant, mechanic, farmer, gardener and laborer, as well as the student and the college graduate, can here find vast amount of information. Among the thousands of topics treated in this vol ume we notice that Food and Drink have 9 pages Force, F pages Forest Laws. ? pages; Forms of Address, 4 rages; Fruit, 13 pages; Fuel, 6 pages Fungi, ? pages; Galvanism, 35 pages.

Rather ChiValric.

How strangely the good and bad in termingle in the breast of man is strikingly shown by the train of cir cumstances attending the recapture of Smith, the train robber, who is now awaiting trial in the county jail. In March last he, in company with three others, robbed the eastern bound At lantic & Pacific express at Canyon Diablo, and a month afterwards, after one of the longest chases on record, the party were captured by Sheriff O'Neill and posse in Utah. While on the return trip to Arizona, Smith effected his escape by jumping from car window on tbe Atchison, Topeka & Sante Fe while the train was rapidly descending the Raton mountains in New Mexico. He at once struck out for Texas, taking horses wherever the opportunity presented, and riding them as long as they were able to car " him. On the afternoon of the ninth day, while in the "Pan Handle" |" near Vernon, Smith discovered wo- man aimlessly wandering over the prairie, and recognizing the fact that she must be lost or in trouble, he rode up and accosted her. She informed him that-she had been lost two days, during which time she had gone with out food. Knowing that in her emaciated condition she could not possibly survive much longer without assistance, Smith,-the escaped train robber, fleeing though he was, to escape trial for a crime the penalty for which was death, and still carrying on each leg his broken shackles-be- thought him of windmill he had passed some eight miles back, and putting the women on his horse, con- ducted her to 1t. He left her, and riding along the wire fence that en- closed the windmill for five or six miles, until he discovered the camp oi the men employed to keep it in re- pair. and informed them of the wo- mans condition. They at once sad dled, and although the night was nearly gone, started at once for the windmill, and found the woman-a 1 young school teacher from the east weak, but still alive, and at once brought her to place where she was cared for. At daylight the sheriff and posse in pursuit of Smith, met the same men, and finding from their ac count and description, in which di rection the fugitive had gone, pursued him. Before high noon they had over
 taken him, and Smith, the train rob Der, who less than twenty-four hours before had turned from his way t( succor an unfortunate woman, wa shot from his saddle while resisting an arrest, which he might have pre-
 vented by avoiding the delay and ob servation so entailed. The story i
 good enough to have a moral but doubtless, Smith, who is now incarce rated in the county jail awaiting tria
 for his life on account of it, fails t discover it-Journal Miner.

Why Arizona Should Become a State.

In all tho Territories with the eX- ception of Utah and Alaska, if the lat ter can be called Territory, the peo- pie are taking steps toward the cree tion of state government and the admission of the Estates into the Union. In Utah Is it probably re- cOgnized that any action of this sort would be useless, and Alaska has not sufficient population.
 Leaving Utah and Alaska out of the calculation, there are four Territor- ies-Idaho, Wyoming, New Mexico and Arizona-in which the organiza- ,tion of state governments has not yet been provided for by congress. At the furthest, it will be only few years until all of these will be mem bers of the Union. The question Of their admission might, therefore, as well be settled next winter as not.
 Each of the Territories named is capable of maintaining state govern ment. That being the case the peo- pie should be permitted to organize such a government. Congress can justly have no objection to the or 1 ganization of a new state if the popu- | lation and material wealth of the proposed state be great enough to maintain a state government, unless there be peculiar reasons, like those applicable to Utah, for a departure from this theory.
 The relation of a Territory to the National government Is one of pupilage Except as temporary eXpedient, there should be no Territorial government in any part of the National domain The District of Columbia is not a Ter ritory. It is distinctly Federal ground set apart for the purposes of the Fed eral government. The true purpos, of maintaining a Territorial govern ment is to enable the Territory tC grow into the condition of state is contemplated by the nature of tht Union that there shall be nothing bu states within the Federal jurisdiction excepting always the District of Co lumbia.
 This is the view which every in telligent student of the American government recognizes as correct According to it an injustice is don the people of Territory where the. are unnecessarily denied the right t organize a state government. Idaho Wyoming, New Mexico and Arizon have a right to demand admission because they are able to show tha they are capable of maintaining government of their own-Santa F , New Mexican.
