II was down in that Oklahoma coun-

Gen. Miles staff, Mt the Cafe Royal. ut
is certainly n beautiful region for the
agriculturist, and it is no wonder the
lands are coveted, The soil Is rich
and well watered, the country Is n roll
ing prairie, tho climate Ia mild and
equable, the grass In summer is
belly deep and two railroads are
now built through tho heart of
the vast, ~unoccupied domain. ANY
thing cam be grown there that will grow
in Missouri or Arkansas. 1t would be
h finest fruit country In tho world. AT
Fort Reno peaches, pears and plums are
raised which cannot be equaled any
where outside of California. Tho most
magnificent corn l ever saw Is raised in
Oklahoma by the few half breeds allowed
to till the soil. There are splendid
streams, the Canadian river and Its north
fork, which course through tho land.
There Is no snow, very little frost, and
never a sign Of n blizzard. 1t docs
seem n pity that such a superb a~gricult.
ural region should be shut out from
settlement and given over In perpetuity
to a worthless lot of Indians, who cannot
use it even as q hunting ground."-San

indian Horemannhip.

Given a horse, Il man animated by the
reckless daring likely to come of n wild,
free life, and The Centaur of ancient
fable may be fairly realized. 4 CORE
spondcnt of the Omaha Herald, having
visited IN Arapahoe camp, gives the fol
lowing account of an Indian drill, or
dered for his amusement:
Fifty fine looking young men, mounted
upon ponies, drew up before the tents.
At q signal from the chief they began
their evolutions, with a loud yell.
In a N they disappeared over n
neighboring hill. Then there suddenly
rose a mighty trampling of horses feet,
and they swept past again, 81 compact
that l only saw n ball made of horses
and men.
Splitting in two, one body swept to the
right and another to the left, and again
they disappeared. Presently they charged
each other in solid lines, and while the
spectator waited breathlessly for the
shock of collision, the files skillfuIly
opened TO tho right and left, and the
lines passed through the intervals with
out touching.
Now came the moment for displaying
individual workmanship. Some of the
riders approached, each lying SO close to
his pony's back that nothing but the
horse could be seen. Others stood erect
upon their animals backs. Some hung
TO the horse by one foot and one hand,
30 that their bodies were completely pro-
tected by those of the ponies.
These young warriors also threw OBJ
jects upon the ground, and picked them
up ut full gallop, and drew bows and
shot arrows from beneath the horses
necks. Some of the men exchanged
horses while riding.
Again. n man would fall from his
horse. as If wounded, and two others,
riding up beside him, would take him by
an arm and n leg, swing him between
their horses, and carry him off.
This exhibition lasted nearly two
hours. and, at its close, men and horses
were completely exhausted. All that
evening the human performers lay in
their lodges, while the Indian women
brought them food, bathed their limbs
and combed their hair.

The Danish astronomer, CLAUS Romer,
made the discovery Of the velocity of
light while taking observations of the
eclipse Of Jupiter's satellites in 1876. He
found that the eclipses of the satellites
seemed to be retarded as the earth moved
farther away from the planet. that they
occurred too soon when the earth wns
ncarcst and too late when 1t was farthcst
away from Jupiter The
found that this rctardntion of the occur
ence of the cclipses could only be nc
counted for satisfactorily 10y the time
that the light would take in crossing the
carth's orbit, and that, calculating the
time occupied in accomplishing this, the
velocity Of light wal l02, 500 miles a
second. The best determinations made
by the more accurate observations of
modern times make the velocity nbout
10000 miles a second.-New York Tcle-

Probably not ono person in q thou
sand knows why leaves change their
color in tho fall" remarked an eminent
botanist the other day. THE common
and old fashioned idea Is, that all this
red and golden glory we see now is
caused by frosts. a true and scientific
explanation of tho causes of the col
oring of leaves would necessitate n long
and intricate discussion. Stated briefly
and in proper language, those causes are
these: The green matter in the tissue of
q leaf is composed of two %colors, red and
blue. When the sap ceases to flow In
the autumn, and the natural growth of
tho tree ceases, oxidation of the tissue
takes place. Under certain conditions
tho green of the leaf changes to red;
under different conditions 1t takes on q
yellow or brown tint.
This difference in color Is due to the
difference In combination of tho original
constituents of the green tissue, and to
the varying conditions of climate, ex-
posure and soil. A dry, cold climate
produces more brilliant foliage than one
that Is damp and warm. This Is the
reason that our American autumns are
so much moro gorgeous than those of
England. There are several things about
caves that even science cannot explain.
For instance, why of two trees grow
ing side by side, of the same & and
having the same exposure, should take
on n brilliant red in the fall and the other
should turn yellow, or why one branch
Of n tree should be highly colored and
h rest of tho tree have only q yellow
tint, are questions that are as impossible
TO answer as why n member of a family
should be perfectly healthy and another
sickly. Naples and oaks have brightest
colors."-Field and Farm.

Perhaps as curious and delightful a
book rs we could select at random is this
History of Connecticut" which lies be
fore me. 1t is n little calf bound volume,
printed anonymously about q century
ago. and generally ascribed to the Rev.
Samuel Peters, q Clergyman Of Hebron,
Com Mr.. Peters lived in n credulous
age, and some of the facts which he
gravely relates seem a little startling to
our modern skepticism. Here is his de
scription of he Connecticut river: 1.-The
middle river is named Connecticut, after
the great sachem to whom the province
belonged. 1t takes its rise from the
White Hills In tho north of New Eng
land, where also springs tho river Ken
nebcc. Two hundred miles from the
Sound Is n narrow of five miles only,
formed by two shelving mountains Of
solid rock, whose tops intercept the
clouds. Through this chasm are COM
PEELED TO pass all the waters which in the
time Of h floods bury the northern
country.
People who can bear the sight, the
groans. the tremblings and surly motion
of water, trees, and ice through this aw-
full passage, Wow with astonishmcnt one
of h greatest phenomena in nature.
Here water Is consolidated, without
frost, by pressure, by swiftness, between
the pinchlng, sturdy rocks, to such n de-
grec of induration that IN iron crowbar
floats smoothly down its current; here
irop lead and cork have one common
weight; here, steady us timo and harder
than marble, the stream passes, irresisti-
bic, If not swift, as lightning" Quite a
remarkable phenomenon! And yet not
many years have passed since the good
people of Connecticut believed such
things. My grandfather was u boy when
this book was written.-A. NJ. Cummings

We offer no apology for devoting so much time
and attention to this much neglected class of
diseases, believing that no condition of human
ity is too wretched to merit the sympathy and
best services of the profession to which we be-
long, as many are innocent sufferers, and that
the physician who deYotes himself
to relieving the afflicted and saving
them from worse than death, is nc less a
philanthrophist and Il benefactor to his race
than the surgeon or physician wholly close APP
plication eNcels IN any other b anch of his pro-
fession. And, fortunately for humanity, the day
is dawning when the false philanthropy that
condemned the victims of folly or crime, like
the lepers undo the Jewish law to die uncared

L laid the rose reverently between the
leaves of my Bible and put it into my
valise. A week later | was on q ranch
at Los Angeles, Cal, and the post brought
me n day q letter of four & in a
pretty italian handwriting-it was from
Pauline.
She had received my book just before
she left Denver and hoped had received
her rose. She had read my verses and
was pleased to say that she liked them
that they touched her. Some of them,
written in n cynical, despairing strain,
h criticised and regretted. She hoped
that some day l should meet some one
who would make me think better OF life
and cure me of my love of solitude. She
commended my body to happiness, and
my soul to God, and remained ever, very
sincerely my friend, Pauline Tressahar.
p. S.-She hoped l would not forget my
promise and come to Nashville.
Yesterday-only yesterday-a friend
sent mo q Nashville paper containing an
article concerning myself; almost along
side of the criticism on my poems, in q
column headed Personal Intelligence
there appeared as an item of local inter-
est tho announcement of the engage
ment of 1.-The beautiful daughter of our
esteemed fellow citizen, Col. Euclid
Tressahar," to the son of some equally
esteemed inhabitant of Nashville, Tenn.
l cut out the article on myself and
my poems with the paragraph attached
to its side and, folding 1t up small,
opened my Bible to place 1t with Pau
lines gift. Tho leaves of the book were
perfumed by the sweet dry ~petals-the
soul that still lived of her crimson rose.
And on he page where it had lain there
was n little crimson stain-1 had pressed
1t upon the verse of St Paul's Epistle to
the brethren at Philippi: "Whatsoever
things arc true, whatsoever things arc

whatsoever things arc lovely, whatso-

Spring is here, and with the marked

ing and all kinds of outdoor work, we may
expect the increase of business that we
invariably look for at this season of the
year. Inquiries at leading business houses
reveal the fact that the two months of the
new year have been satisfactory. Collec-
lions are somewhat slow, and rcmittances
rather tardy.
The failure on the part of the railroads
to come to the relief OF the overstocked
farmers of Utah. and thus enable them to
dispose of their tubers, is a matter Of re-
gret. This is especially so when, as will be

Lead and Silver.

Advices from New York show that 300
ions of lead sold at S3.621I, 800 tons at
s3.65. and 500 tons at 1915. Sellers there
are jubilant, and they begin to believe that
the end of the long depression has at last
arrived; at the same time, however, con-
sumers remain Indifferent, insisting that
the deliveries are too poor to guarantee any
advance at present, and with a unanimity
of purpose that ind Gates perfect under
standing they abstain from the market.
St. Louis reports business of 200 tons at
81. As. with $3.50 asked, and Chicago 500
tons at $3.50. The surplus stock at New
York has been but slightly diminished,
there being some arrival, which has gOI e
into store. 1t is estimated that there is | t
least $1,000 tons surplus, and, unfOrtln-
safely. it is in the hands of those who's c
cCtlV object is to get rid of all their conneC-
ton with lead. A New York eXchans e
publishes a semi-ofi cial statement of Il e
