Barley in the Desert.

M Holladay, an engineer on a pas senger train on the Southern Pacific, brought to the Star office last evening a dozen heads of barley which he had pulled up alongside of the railroad track at Aztec station. They had grown up from few grains of barley which some one had dropped in pass ing by, or while feeding his burro or mule. Some of the heads measure over three inches in length, and are plump and we'll filled. The smallest is over two inches. An acre of such barley would yield, perhaps, about sixty bushels. This sample of barley growth demonstrates the fact that the soil about Aztec station must certain ly be good for small grain, as the speclmens before us grew out in the open desert without either care, atten- ton or irrigation.-Tucson Star.

New Jerseys Wonderful Peach.

The state of New Jersey, which abounds in progressive horticulturists. has originated many valuable varieties of fruits. Among peaches produced in this state that have met with high favor are "Crawford's Early" "Crawford's Late," "Old Nixon Free" "Stump of the World" Newport White," etc. And now attention is being called to the "Wonderful' peach, chance seedling which appeared in an obscure garden of Jersey mechanic. MT. Charles B. Hor- her, who was attracted by it's size and beauty, is credited with having intro duced it to the public. He had it placed on exhibition at the Burlington county fair in October, 1886, where 1t was awarded, in addition to the first pre- mium, special prize of silver medal.

Discountinx Pickle Cupid.

A society has been organized in Dem mark under the name of the "Ceibacy Assurance society,"" it's object being to provide for those women who either cannot or will not provide themselves with a husband. The premiums, which are on various scales, begin at the age of 13 and end at 40, period at which it Is supposed most of the members will have abandoned any thought of mar riage. Such being the case, the woman receives an annuity for life. If, however, she marries at any time after or before 40 she forfeits all her claims. With the profits thus accruing by chance or purpose the society hopes to provide for its members doomed to single blessed ess."-Providence Journal.

A Quail Farm.

A new enterprise is to be inaugural ed on the Platte few miles below Denver. A MT. Balch of Long Island, has purchased twenty acres of land adjoining the Broadwell place and will establish quail breeding farm. So soon as properly fenced and secured from the approach of coyotes and hawks he will place few thousand birds, that he is now having gathered in Iowa and Missouri, in this enclos- ure with reference to breeding them for the market. The enterprise is a novel one, but we can see no reason why it should not pay as well, and possibly better than chicken raising Denver Field and Farm.

Marriage and DIrorcs.

The special report on marriage and divorce made to Congress by Carroll D. Wright, Commissioner of Labor, embraces the periods between 1867 and February, 1889. The figures are serious if not alarming. The increase of divorces both actually and in pro portion to the number of marriages, Is so great as to deserve the serious con sideration of moralists and statesmen. South Carolina is the state in which divorces are least frequent, not one be- ing recorded in the years 1867 and 1868; in 1863 there were five, in 1870, only one, in 1871 there were seven, next year sixteen, and so increasing to thirty-nine in 1878, in which year the maximum of divorce was reached. Illinois holds an unpleasant pre-emi- hence as the state in which the larg- est number of divorces have been granted in the twenty-two years under review, and also as the state in which the proportion ofdiyorces to marriages is greatest. Between 1867 and 1886 the divorces granted in this state counted as 36,072, against 25,355 for New York, and 25,193 for Indiana. In South Carolina one divorce is granted to every 133,359 marriages i; in Illinois one to every 271, taking the year 1880 as a standard of comparison.
 It is to be noted that the central and western states are far more pro life of divorces than the southern and eastern. Michigan had one divorce to every 403 marriages in 1870, and one to every 269 in 1880, and Virginia only one divorce to every 3,734 mar riages in 1870, and to every 1,743 in 1880; while in Oregon there was one divorce to every 175 marriages. It cannot be denied that these are un- comfortable figures to reflect upon, They indicate loosening of home ties and neglect of home duties that a6gurs i'll for the safety of society. They also suggest the need of reform in the divorce laws of most of the states-Inter Ocean.

A DistinctiveIy American Humorist Who
 Has Recently Passed Away.
 The humor loving world has lost one of the brightest, if not the brightest, of lights among journalistic jokors In the death of Mir. Philip H. Welch, who lately passed from the throng he so cleverly satirized Four years ago there began to appear in the columns of The New York Sun under the heading "Queer Wrinkles" few "sticks fulr' of short, pointed and excessively funny dialogues. They came home to every one, for they illustrated or satirized the many little faults and foibles of the day. There is nothing so entertaining to large number of people as witticism upon that which they see familiarly about them: an extraction of pungent juice from fruit so common as to be otherwise wearisome to look upon or to taste. The distiller of such an ex. tract must be born for his work. It can not be acquired. The poet is not more born to poetry than the humorist to humor, and the humorist who writes successfully is as rare as the true poet.

MT. Fred T. Jeans, bridge foreman
 Of the A. &. P. Railroad company, called our attention this week to an ingenious invention of his own. It is a bridge guard rail, consisting of two pieces of iron each ten feet long, so arranged as to fit or be attached firmly between the guard rails and the main line rails at the beginning of bridge. The pieces of iron are inclined enough and are so arranged that if car is off the track when coming on a bridge the wheels are carried upward to eith- CT side of the main rail when it is drawn to the main rail, the guard rail acts as gauge and the wheels are thrown in their original position. Mir
 Jeans claims, and it looks very plausi- ble too, that by this guard rail that a car running at any speed, when of the track, and approaching bridge can be re-railed. It is a perfect piece of mechanical genius and if properly tested no doubt it will prove to be all its inventor claims for it and if adopt
 ed, will be used by all railroads.-Flag | staff Democrat.
