LITTLE BEAR, Nov. 9.-May l ask a lit
tie space =? In your daily of Nov. 3 under
the heading Valuable Statistics, +" notice
some statements concerning the amount
of water necessary to irrigare an acre Of
land in Wyoming aud Colorado. Does
Mr.. Mead mean to say that a party buy
ing a farm of 81. I acres in Wyoming may
do 30 safely if he can be assured OF one
cubic foot OF water per second, without
any regard to the slope of the land2 If
so I beg to differ with him.
"A property OF $500 feet elevation
requires fully one fifth more water han at
5000 feet attitude on account of increased
evaporation. A section OF country like
Greeley where there are many trees (the
land being of the same soil) requires
much more water than where trees are
wanting. A field with a slope of five
inches to the rod will require far more
water than one with an inch incline.
The DAT crop requires fully twice as
much water as a potato crop. 1t is said
some men I"want the earth" In MIR.
Mead's case we might say that he wants
the ocean" 1 believe, according to my
observations, it would be well to throw in
the Great Lakes too. To put it differently,
climatic conditions varying on account of
altitude. the different kinds of soil, sandy
or loan. with or without clay subsoil,
will ever render this & variable quantity.
l believe it far too small.

Tina. ralkative Barber.

Clothes may not make the man, but
they have everything to do with his
general appearance. Enter q barber
shop any day when the chairs are full,
scan the heads OF the customers as they
lay back in the chairs, with the towel
and buster close up to their chins, form
your idea of the appearances Of the man
when he shall have stepped out on the
floor, and in nineteen cases out of
twenty you will be surprised. In the
first place all idea Of his size is hidden
under the duster. In recognizing
friend you do SO as much by his size
and manner as you do his features.
You readily recognize an acquaintance
from rear view as he walks on ahead
of you. In the barber shop you will
see man with a massive No. 8 head,
and when he steps down you are as
much shocked to find that it is placed
on a s foot 6 inch body as to learn that
the boyish 81 head in the next chair is
on top of a foot body. You will see
a noble. high browed head that you
are sure must belong to some distin-
guished lawyer, and you are knocked
out when u policeman or the engineer
from next door in his blue flannel
shirt emerges from under the covers.
Another thing that amuses me is the
failure of friends to recognize each
other while in the barber chairs, and
that happens twenty times day, tho
recognition only following when one
or the other comes off the chair.-St

burning Mud.

IA curiosity" said Rev. A. S. Ladd,
Of Auburn, that has struck me with
much interest is this: A few days ago
| visited a friend on Munjoy Hill,
Portland, and was much interested
in one fact that my friend mentioned
TO me. and l think your readers will
be somewhat interested also. My
friend Mr.. Alfred Tuckwell is an En-
glishman. He has recently bought a
new house near the eastern promenade.
This part of the city has been a
common for the pasturage Of cows and
playground for children and saun-
tering place for lovers until within the
last few years But now II is being
rapidly covered with pleasant dwell
ings and affords some Of the pleasant
est localities for homes in all the city.
Now l come to the interesting Incl
dent. In his cellar and in his garden
Mr.. T. found a large bed of peat of ex-
cellent quality. This winter he digs
it out of his cellar, and without any
drying, mingled with coal, it burns
readily and makes an excellent fuel.
He dumps his ashes in where he takes
his peat out, and when the supply is
exhausted he proposes to cement the
cellar. He thinks he has enough in
his garden to last several years. am
not sure that Yankee would have
Thought Of burning such mud"

Crime and Its Treatment.

Time was when folks afflicted with.
disease were put out OF the way, not
as Bergh's men kindly kill a dis
abled animal 10 mercifully end its dis
tress, but because deemed unfit to
live. Now the browning glory Of our
century is its magnificent hospitals.
Time will be when our prisons, the dis
grace Of this grand age. will be
changed to humanitarian institutions
for the control and cure of crime, In
stead Of pest places for its punishment
and propagation.
Statesmen and reformers arc begin
ming to consider that our system Of So
ciety is really accountable for more
crime than it prevents. Judges and
juries are frequently called upon to
condemn unfortunate creatures Of cir
cumstances less guilty OF offense
against their fellows than those before
whom they are arraigned Did all
wrong doors escape detection, as
doubtless the majority do, there would
be no criminals known; while il tho
consciences Of men were incased in
glass all would be criminals alike.
There would be no honest men to bring
the guilty TO justice. Let all who read
reflect upon this.
He who robs you wrongs himself
worse than you. You may recover
your property or purchase more, but he
has corrupted his conscience, ruined
his reputation, assassinated his man
hood. He has inflicted upon himself
u misfortune, while you have but sus-
tanned u pecuniary and perchance q
trifing loss. IS. n. Preston in Jour
nal of Health.

Marriage for . Quarter.

A story is told about minister's
marriage fee that causes amusement
among the clergy. He was paid 81 for
marrying a couple. After they de-
parted he was about to hand the money
to his wife when the door bell was
rung. The newly married wife said
she wanted certificate. No marriage
was good without one. 1t cost TWEEN
ty-five cents for blank that would
suit her. The reverend gentleman
filed the blank out in the usual form,
and she went away seemingly salts
fed.
A few days later she again appeared
at. the door. Mister" said the wo-
man, in an aggrieved tone, Il looked
through the papers and can't find Q
notice of our wedding. You ought
not to treat US different from other
folks" So the dominic went TO news
paper office and paid tifty cents to
have q notice inserted. When he
reached home he handed the remain
ing twenty-five cents TO his wife with
the remark: Here, my dear, hurry
up and take this before that woman
makes another call. "-Kingston Free

John r. Raymoud's Hotel joke.

Iheard funny story the other day
about Jimmy Pigott, that clever actor,
who first came to this country think
with Mrs LAngtry and afterward act
ed with young Sothern. Jimmy Pr
gott was at one time very well known
in the gay set about London, and like
many another good fellow lost his
money and had to turn round and
make his bread and butter. Just be-
fore he came to this country he met
John 7. Raymond, whose advice no
asked about the hotels and other mat
tern. This is the result: When Mr..
Pigott got here he stepped into cab
and requested to be taken to tho
''Hotel Tombs!" The cabby asserted
that he did not know Of any such
place. Then" said Pigott ito the
Hotel Ludlow" Again cabby insisted
ON his ignorance. "Well, OF all stupid
cabman ever came across, this is the
stupidest! What hotel would you
recommends" Hotel Dam, SIR"
Dam yourself" said Pigott, getting
out Of the cab and posing himself for

the box, only too ready to begin, and
it was only after the surrounding cab
men had explained that Pigott realized
that he had been sold by his friend
MIR. Raymond, and that the cabby's
intentions were quite honorable. That
same afternoon the genial English
man went to the ticket office to in
quire the price Of a ticket to Salt Lake,
as he had a brother there, and he
thought he would like to spend the
afternoon with him! His astonish-
ment when he discovered that the
ticket would be in the neighborhood
Of 5000, and that he could scarcely be
there in time for dinner, can be better
imagined than described. New York
