miserate Texas because she has mostly
seemed to lack one of the elements of
perfect prosperity, and that is large
mineral wealth. But now comes word
that a valuable petroleum has been
found both in the east and west of the
state. The oil in western Texas resem-
bles that of Pennsylvania. Texas is a
long way from the other oil producing
regions, and if good article of illumi-

the state will have great boom. Nat
ural gas in small quantities has also been
detected along with the oil deposits.

Red Heads Are Risky.


II should like to insure my life, but I
would be considered bad risk. doubt
if any of the first class companies would
accept me-"
These were the words of a big freckle
faced, red haired individual whose usually
merry countenance and abundant avoir-
dupois made him the picture of health.
'What in the world should make you
bad risk?" chorused group of bystand-
ers.
The first speaker blushed till his cheeks
were as fiery a red as his matted locks,
and then he answered softly: "My scar
let topknot is my bane. 1t is quite bad
enough to invite the sobriquets of brick
top, 'pinky' and the like, but when the
insurance companies take hand in the
persecution it is enough to make strong
man weep
The aggrieved individual resembled a
consumptive as little as was possible, but
his supposititious tendency to pulmonary
affections was the only ground for the
insurance mems boycott. The medical
examiner of the leading life insurance
company, who was questioned as to the
alleged disparagement of red heads, re-
piled that it was largely imaginary and
exaggerated. "It is fact, however" he
continued, "that red headed persons have
generally thin skins and are, as a rule, OF
delicate constitution. A pale, thin face
and covering consumptive form are
often allied to reddish complexion.
Light hair, and especially red hair, often
seems to betoken scrofulous disorders,
and it's presence may prejudice superb
cial examiners against the subject. 1t
is a fact that red headed persons who
show not the smallest trace ofpulmonary
trouble will sometimes develop consump-
ton in an almost incredible time. Phil

Wonder Who 1t Is?

OrtonvilIe Herald Star: When q
man first gets into journalism he gen.
orally makes an ass of himself. A
paper in this district recently secured
tile services of a gentleman as local
editor who had never had any news
paper experience. His first effort
was to report case in justice court.
The news feature of the case were lost
sight of entirely in the anxiety of the
new editor to detail his own expert

We desire to say to our citizens,
that for years we have been selling

there was no scientific basis for the de-

disease, decay and death merely happen
because we are ignorant of the laws Of

AERIAL TIDES.-Ata recent meet
ing Of the Berlin Meteorological So

many experiments have been made
to determine the influence OF the
moons attraction on the earth's at
mosphere. Semi-diurnal tides-cor-
responding to the oceanic tides-have
been detected at four seaports, but OBJ
servations at inland stations have
given different results The difficulty
of settling the problem is due to the
fact that the mercury in the baromet-
er is affected by the alterations in
gravity produced by the moon.

the one will often reproduce the
other, while the fruits Of both Kinds
have occasionally been met with on
the same branch. 1t is now shown,
moreover, that the entire yield of the
trees may change. NJ. Lampiefre, a
nursery-man of Montrouge, France,
reports that Lord Napier nectarine
tree in his grounds last year bore
nothing but peaches; and M. Ferdi-
nand Jamin, of the French National

The MODERN DEMAND FOR STICKS.
The forests and jungles of the world
are now being secured to an astonish-
ing extent in search of raw materials
for canes and umbrella handles. A
collection of such materials as are
employed has been placed in the
Kew Museum, and includes great
variety of sticks. The ash, aspen,
bamboo, bay, birch, blackthorn, box
wood, briar, cedar, chestnut, coffee,
cork, dogwood, ebony, eucalyptus,
hazel, holly, hornbeam, maple, med
lar, myrtle, oak, palm, olive, orange,
pimento, pomegranate, snakewood,
and trees and shrubs, of other kinds,
are forced to contribute. Stems of a
cabbage growing ten or twelve feet
high, and of the mullein, are used.
Supplies are largely drawn from the
East, and the Importance Of the trade
is indicated by the estimate, from Mr..
J. r. Jackson, of the annual imports
into England of some of the principal
canes: Bamboos, from China and
Japan, 100000; partridge canes, from
China, 2,5OO,OOO; Tonquin canes, from
China, 10000, 900; Malacca, from Siak,
100000; whangee, from Japan, 600, 900;
other Eastern canes, 100000. In ad-
dition, various rattans amounting in
weight to about 800 tons are inn
ported from Singapore and other
Eastern countries; and some 100000
sticks other than canes, from Algeria,
Austria, Hungary and France. The
total value of the imported sticks in
raw state is 81 100000.

THE LONGEST HUMAN TAIL.-Sett-
ing aside the reports of travellers con-

the Nyams-Nyams tribe of Central
Africa, it appears that more or less
creditable historians have cited from
$50 to 200 cases of persons with tails.
Max Bartels, German, who has
written a monograph on the subject,
describes 81 well authenticated cases,
including those of tails connected
with the body, tails with free move
ment, and cutaneous prolongations.
The tails are usually conical or
spherical in shape, and from two or
three up to five inches in length. An
extraordinary specimen, however,
has just been examined and photo
graphed at Saigon, by Etienne Ra-
baud, the length being ten inches and
the shape cylindrical. 1t belongs to
Moi boy twelve years old, and is
soft and smooth, with no bony frame.
