by removing them the richest of red
soil could be found underneath not
bearing a single stone In a cubic yard
of earth. The soil had not been
washed away as the rains beat down,
owing TO the stones, until they had been
brought TO the surface; but here this

it from further action, protecting it, let
us hope, for some further use of man.
They told me that this peculiar kind
was the richest and most easily cult

poor enough to me to be put In some
terrestrial alms-house along with the
Sahara desert.
But this whole Southeast, or rather

ypoint, is a country of deceptive appear
ances. Hundreds of my readers have
probably travelled over the Santa Fe
Railroad as il courses through the Rio
Grande Valley, and from their stand
point of grassy, pleasant-looking coun-
try in the East, have wondered what
this cherries area of sand and sage
brush could ever he put to; yet In this
valley is farm of twenty-five acres,
for which 100000 has been fatty re-
fused, not one cent Of it's value being
in its proximity to some other place, as
the valuable little farms around our
,Rreat Eastern cities, but purely in
vAhat it can produce.
Verify, the desolation of the land is
deceptive, and, like, its counterpart,
beauty is but skin deep!

MEMORY AND JUDGMENT.

Montaigne believed that memory Is gift intended for people who have poor judgment. But memory, no matter how strong, does not compensate for the lack of judgment Memory must of necessity live in the past while judgment lives little in advance of the present. Memory is a great teacher, but judgment is great inventor. Memory, in rever- ence for things in past halowed by years, often stands in the way of progress; judgment, regard less of the past, searches for the needs of the time that is to come. But going back to Montaigne's idea, strong memory Is not an evidence of weak judgment nor Is it. as some writers have asserted, sign of lack Of literary ability. Macauay one of the greatest prose writers of his dAy-or of any other day-and yet he could repeat Paradise Lost" or master language within a few days. Bacon, who admired Montaigne, thought that an over cultivation of the memory, like the development of a certain set of muscles is inuri- ous. The exact relationship existing between the brain and the memory has never been determined yet that there is close relationship proved by the fact that a failing memory is one of the first evil denees of softening of the brain. Still, failing memory Is not always proof that the brain Is be- coming soft Some very hard brained lose the faculty of recollection to such degree that they actually forget to pay bill.
 
 If young woman desires to succeed as a novel, ist she must first establish reputation for beauty Let it become known that Mrs. Agatha De Merton is beautiful and her is assured. It Is not necessary that she should understand that art of character portrayal which made George Eliot so great that she should possess the plotters inge- nuity she needs not be able to write grammatical sentence to know a semi-coon from mosquito There is, 1t must be admitted one other necessary feature-perhaps not necessary feature, strictly speaking, but assuring adjunct-that of passion But when the young woman has beauty, how easy it is to acquire the appearance of passion. little indiscretion of speech, little warm gush, and her reputation for passion is established
 In the current number of the North American Recietc, Prof. David Swing presents paper, enti- tied, "Wnl Reason Dethrone Christianity" The essay is admirable piece of literary wOrk-liberal in statement and playful in its fancy. Of course the professor does not say that will dethrone Christianity. If he were to make such & decara- tion his Central Music hall flock would demand an ex xplanation SO, in the article, Prof. Swing was wise in leaving many things unsaid. Truly can it be said that the mouth is wisest when it is shut for silence makes but few errors, while speech is exposed to many dangers.

man on horseback rode up to a cabin in the backwoods of Mississippi. An old fellow, with an amusing squint in his eyes, came out and, bidding the visitor good morning. seated himself on & stump.
 "How long have you lived here?" the stranger asked.
 "Let me see, now. Bill had the swamp fever in August think it was August but it mout have been later; Sal run away and married constable in October-must have been October, but still I ain't prepared to bet on it Bob had dew pizen in November of the neighbors low it was later, but am willin' to bet on that wife she ups and dies in December, but ain't right shore about the time, still know that the ysler steer was killed by talln tree in November, am it strikes me that wife she died after that. Now, let me see. Pve been Twin here about three years"
 "You have peculiar method of reckoning time." ''Yes, but had to make some sort of shift after lost my slmsnick."
 "Do you know of man named Tony Beers?"
 "Beers? Let me see. Believe doves 1 know I do"
 "Where does he liver"
 "Well, you take this road, go about ve miles and come to gum spring. Then you turn to the right go about two miles and come to the river cross over, and keep to the right till you come to an old log house. It used to be a church, but it's still house now. Then you take the left hand road and that leads you right to Tony's house. Is he friend of yourn?"
 "No," the traveller answered. 'What sort of a man is he?"
 "Oh, he's putty stirrin' feller."
 "Is he quarrelsome?"
 "No; can't say that he is in particular"
 "Will he fght-that is, would you term him 8 desperate man?"
 "Dont believe would say he is desperate"
 "Do you suppose he would shoot rather than submit to srrest2"
 "Don't think he would. l had difficulty with him once and he didn't try to shoot me-"
 "You don't like him very we'll if you had dif- ficulty with him, do you?"
 "No, don't"

WOULD GO BACK SOON.

An old man, afflicted with spinal disease that bent him almost double was led, by an old woman, along street in Hot Springs.
 "Now, Dan'l," said the woman, in soft tones of encouragement "you must not give up. Just think, you'll get well after awhile and then we'll go back on the farm and live like we used to-"
 "No," he answered, Tm done. Pm getting worse all the time"
 "You mustn't think that, Daniel. You mustn't let your imagination make you worse of than you are"
 "I couldn't be worse of than am, Mary"
 "Oh, yes, plenty ofpeople are worse of than you are"
 q never saw them"
 "Wait! !" the woman suddenly exclaimed She saw, on the opposite side of the street, old man. bent even more than "Dan'l" was. "There is man over there worse off than you are"
 "But he ain't 30 old," "Dan'l" petulantly an swered.
 "Yes, he is older"
 Lift me up some way so 1 can sec him."
 She turned him about and strove to get him into position 30 that he could see but he was so bent that she could not. Just then two men came along
 "Gentlemen," said the woman, twill you please hold my husband up so he can see that man hob bling along over yander2"
 They held him up. He looked, with brightening eyes.
 "Yes," he said, when he and his wife were walk ing along again, "we'll go back to the farm We'll SOW wheat where we had the clover, and we'll plant corn next to the woods. We'll go back soon."
 The New York journalists now engaged in letting the public know how prominent men eat and of what dishes they most fond. Jay Gould, it appears, hankers not after the pertumed flesh pots. He is satisfied with ordinary grade of liver. Russell Sage eats dried apples. Berry Wall lives on ce-cream; Charles A. Dana is fond of salt herring and black tea Elliot Shepherd must have calf brains fried in cotton seed oi and White law Reid is never happy until he sits down to & feast of frogs and hard cider. The enterprise dis played by those journalists in gathering such inn portant information should serve a lesson to the sluggish newspaper men of the west.
