Systematic planting on a national

may be preserved from the destruction
of its soil by fire, or its erosion by water,

scattering the seed over their surface.
The winds and the birds annually redeem
thousands of acres in this way, and we

The ingenuity of the women of London
and Paris in %inventing new dissipation Is
without limit. To the morphine habit
the devotees of sensationalism have now
added the practice of smoking tea cigar
cites. Special grades of the finest tea
are used, and the effect of the cigarettes
is said to be delightful for fully an hour
after ono has been smoked. After that
comes the reaction in the form OF n ner-
vous trembling and excitability, but
which is subdued, according to a woman
of title, who rather goes in for all these
things, by a thimbleful of frozen absinthe.
Thus by industriously ringing the changes
on morphine, tea, cigarettes and absinthe,
with a few intrigues, some scandal and
a raft OF white hot French novels, the
woman OF society manages to worry
through the day. ! wonder II the Ameri-
can girls great success abroad is not due
TO her naturalness and health.-London

What wa known rs the Sullivan Falls
mine 10 now only marked by a pile of
broken rock; but in the days when mems
brains were fired by the glittering pros
poets of untold wealth 1t seemed a boz
nanza and assumed corresponding pro-
portions. Ground was broken there in
winter, and the first thing that wa
struck by the prospectors after going
down through the frost was n vein of
snakesl And such snakesl There were
tiny infant snakes that had Just been
ushered into this sinful world; there
were hoary headed old grandfathers. and
uncles and cousins, and auntsl There
were black snakes, and green snakes
and yellow snakes, and every color of
the rainbow snakesI There were thou
sands in the colony. 1t wasn't a very
good paying vein; but some of tho Maine
gold mines uidn't pan out so well as this,
even.-Lewiston Journal.

There are as a rule plenty Of boys on
the farm, but, as the Iowa State Register
said recently, their cultivation Is fire.
quently sadly neglected. They are not
cultivated in n way to make them con-
tented and successful farmers. Tho ia
theirs of the boys on the farms do not
sufficiently take them into their conf
dence, to consult them about all of the
farm operations and give them to feel
they are partners in all that is done.
The father should also, when he sells his
hogs, cattle, horses, or any Of the crops,
sit down with his boys and tell all about
the sale, the mount received, and COM
pare the cost and profit of one class Of
farming over the other. Show them by
figures what 1t costs to raise wheat and
corn, us well rs what amount of corr and
grass each animal eats during his life and
what a brought In the market. In
this way boys will DO cultivated into
thinking, intelligent farmers, instead of
mere drudges.
Then the boys should be consulted what
to do with the money received from the
crop that their joint labor has produced.

will require, and how tho balance shall

Making Out n prima raeie caso.

Here is a yarn about tho incorrigible
small boy which l heard yesterday. An
Albany woman was telling n Bingham
ton woman, who was visiting In this
city, of tho rapidity with which rents
were shooting skyward In Albany. The
B~inghamton woman, after listening
awhile, began to tell of the Binghamton
rents. Then her small son interrupted
her, just as she had finished telling what
she paid per month In Binghamton, by
r~emarking: why, that wasn't for o
month, mamma; that was for a day"
Both the women laughed at the boys
idea, but the little fellow kept right on
and paralyzed his mother by adding: at
must have been for a day, any way, be-
cause the man used to come every day
for the rent" Reports sayeth that the
the Binghamton woman collapsed

The city of Omaha has in its service
a force of thousands of scavengers who
draw no pay, report to no official, but
are protected by law from molesta-
ton. They are tho crows who flock
into town as regularly as cold weather
comes, stay during the winter and
vanish in the spring. Each evening
as the shadows fall 1egions of crows
wing their way in a seemingly endless
flight to the willow copses and clumps
of small cottonwood trees on the
banks of the Missouri, where they
roost for the night. A favorite haunt
is at the bend of the river, between
Cutoff and Florence lakes, where the
banks shelter them from the north
west wind. The air Is thick with
sable wings and resonant with hoarse
caws there, after sunset each night,
as the scavengers settle down among
the branches to dream of back area
lunches and carrion spreads. With
the break of day the sable flock bestirs
itself. Each member hops about to
warm its chilledleg stretches its shiny
wings and heads back towards the
city. The vast flock breaks into small
groups and they alight here and
there on the tree tops and survey the
back yards and alleys until they can
pick out foraging places. Then they
descend and in short order the re-
mains of the breakfasts, the scraps Of
meat from markets and the rats killed
by household dogs and cats are COB
bledup. Somecrowsdo scavenger work
about tho residences. Others alight
cautiously in the alleys, and others
are attracted to the stockyards and
packing houses at South Omaha. They
fight shy of the business blocks.

l once heard Justice Field, of the
United States supreme court, say that
the worst briefs submitted to that tri-
bunal were those of the late Jere
Black, of Pennsylvania. Black was a
great lawyer, but in his later years
he trusted entirely to his eloquence,
and gave little time to the pre-
liminary work of q case. His briefs
rel very carelessly prepared. The
authorities he quoted were often on
the wrong side, and sometimes had
no proper reference to the case. He
was a natural orator, and he relied
upon the force Of his argument to get
o decision in his favor.-St. Louis

GOING ouT RNp COMING ".

Going out to buy us clothing,
Going out the bills to pay;
Coming IN so very slowly,
Coming In each working day;
Going out rom Us 80 easy,
Coming In, 50 hard to win,
Ceaseless stream OF little pennies
Going out and coming In
Through the many wants of home life
From beneath our humble cot;
To the butcher and the baker
where the meat and bread arc bought
From the old and much worn wallet,
To the cruel world OF greed;
Going out with signs and sadness
To supply each family need
Through the wants that crowd us daily,
Through the bulls that must be met
Through the mhny needs OF children.
Where the familyis growing yet;
To the busy world about US
with It's heartless woe and sin,
Restless stream OF little pennies.
Rushing out into the III
Coming back 50 very slowly,
Though we try to tod and save;
Coming 70 the dear Old homestead,
Coming In to keep Us brave;
Weary. are we very often,
Weary, when we try TO win,
From tho world the little pennies,
Which are slow In coming in.
Going out to N the taxes,
Coming In our hearts to cheer,
Going out TO pay for schooling.
Coming In TO family dear:
Ceaseless stream OF little pennies,
which we find so hard to win,
From tho oorwnys Of the homestead,
Going out and coming In.

"HOME TONIGHT

The lessons are done, and the prizes won,
And the counted weeks are past;
Oh the holiday Joys OF the girls and boys
Who are home tonight" at lasti
oh the ringing beat OF the springing feet
As irto the hall they rushl
Oh the tender bliss of the first home kiss
With its moment of fervent hush.
* much to tell and hear as well
As they gather around the glowi
Who would not part for the joy of heart
hat only the parted can know
At home tonight
But all have not met, there are travellers yet
Speeding along through the dark,
By tunnel and bridge, post river and ridge.
To the distant yet nearing mark
But hearts are warm for the winter storm
Has never a chill for love;
And faces are bright in the Pickering light
OF tho small, dim lamp above.
And voices of gladness rise DER the madness
OF the whirl and the rush and the roar,
For rapids are strong. 1t bears them along
To a home and IN open door
Yes homo to-nlgh''
Oh home tonight, yes, home tonight
Through the peariy gate and the open door.
Some happy feet on the golden street
Are entering now to Ego out no more"
For the work Is done, and the rest begun,
And the training time Is forever past,
And the home of rest In the mansion blest
Is safely, joyousiy reached at last
Oh the love and light In that home tonight
Oh the songs Of bliss and the harps of goldI
Oh the glory shed on the new crowned head!
Oh the telling of love that can never be told
oh the welcome that waits at the shining gates
For those who are following far, yet near.
When nIl shall meet ut His glorious feet
In the light and love of his home 80 deari
Yes. home tonight"

ALTHOUGH strongly opposed to

ALTHOUGH strongly opposed to the appointment of Royal A. Johnson as Surveyor General of Arizona, for var, ious reasons, yet this paper stated that it did not believe the charges of the Phenix papers that Mr. Johnson was in favor of the Peralta-Reavis fraud. Now comes the statement, in both of the Tucson papers, that he has made an able and exhaustive report on this subject to the Interior Department, in which he conclusively shows it to be one of the most colossal frauds ever attempted to be perpetrated. For this action MT. Johnson deserves the thanks of all our citizens, and more especially those people whose homes were endangered. It is now in order for the Phenix papers to come out and do MT. Johnson justice by frankly ad- mitting that they were in error in charging him with complicity with scar-faced Reavis. Now that our Sur veyor General has got his hand in, the EPITAPH would respectfully suggest that he pay his respects to the Tres Alamos, San Rafael de la Zanja, and other uncontirmed grants, and see whether they will stand the test of. honest investigation.

Since then Fred Smith has been arrested and released on bail, and not word about it in either one of the Tucson papers If the EPITAPH was so closely gagged as the Tucson papers probably we could not make our "pain" known through inability to cry out. They have been muzzled so long they must have the lockjaw.

Readers of the papers will recall the story of a woman who, near Tue son, Arizona, about year ago, killed a Chinaman. She was convicted of unlawful killing in some degree and sent to the prison at Yuma. There she recently gave birth to child which is one of the strangest freaks of nature on record. The infant has ears like bat, and of enormous size. They are many times larger than the anricular developments of ordinary human beings. Besides this, the un- fortunate prodigy has one of it's legs much shorter than the other, and it is entirely lacking in the knee joint naturally belonging to the lower limbs.-Los Angeles Herald.

The Diyining Rod.

Professor F.. Ray Lankester, having recently expressed some doubts upon the alleged powers of a boy. "water finder" who has been in the employ of the Grinton Mining Company, in the North of England, the chairman of the company, Dr. M'Cluye, has re- piled to them, denying emphatically that the boy, whose name is Rodwell, is an impostor. He says that the lad when tested never failed to find either water or mineral veins,. the lodes hay ing always been found exactly at the places indicated. The divining rod which he holds only moves in obedi- ence to the muscular contractions of his hands, and rod of any kind of wood or even of any material sub stance whatever can be used, provided it be conductor of electricity. Rod we'll usually walks with his hands tightly clasped before him, and as soon as he steps upon mineral vein or water he is powerless to unclasp them until he moves away from the region of the lode or conduit. The lad is about 14 years of age. These statements made by Dr. M'Clure have excited considerable comment in Yorkshire.--Scientific American.

Bradstreets says: An interesting de- cision has just been rendered by the New Jersey Court of Errors and Ap- peals upon the question whether be- quest for the purpose of aiding the dissemination of doctrines antagOnistic to portions of the existing legal system will be upheld by the courts. The case arose under a will by which & citizen of New Jersey bequeathed a legacy of considerable sum of money, to be used in disseminating the econ omic doctrines of Henry George. The vice-chancellor before whom the case originally came held that the bequest could not be sustained for the reason that the doctrines in question were hostile to the existing law, but the Court of Errors and Appeals has sus- tained the bequest on the ground that proposition to alter the law in ac- cordance with the law is not opposed to the law, a conclusion which must be regarded as reasonable whatever view may be taken of the doctrines in question themselves.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

As far as can be judged from the very meagre synopsis of President Harrison's message so far received, it is not up to the usual average of the state papers of former Presidents But there are some suggestions that should receive the cordial endorse ment of the great body of American citizens.
 That part of the message to which the people of the West and Southwest looked with the great interest, and which they had hopes would be favor able, is sore disappointment. While not committing himself, the drift of his argument indicates that he is op- posed to silver. It may be that the bee of second term has got in his bonnet, and he hopes by this course to secure the support of the great State of New York. Somehow it seems to be next to impossible for the prominent men of the Eastern States to realize that there is vast and growing country west of the Rocky mountains that is entitled to con sideration.
 His utterances on the Chinese ques- ton will not be entirely palatable to the Pacific coast people.
 His statement that "trusts are dan gerous censpiracies against the public good and should be prohibited,9 will be endorsed by everybody except in terested parties.
 A plea is made for coast defense.
 The killing of Judge Terry is taken notice of, and recommendation is made that adequate protection should be afforded judges in the discharge of their duties, which will meet with hearty approval.
 He says that he intends to execute the civil service law with frmness and impartiality. It would be better if this law could be executed by being repealed"
 He touches the question of natural ization very lightly, although his re- commendation, as far as it goes, is good. But he does not go far enough
 The tariff comes in for little mo- tice, but he evidently has recollec- ton of the disastrous effect too free discussion and statement of belief on this matter had on the political for tunes of the late lamented Grover, and does not say much. The aboli- tion of the tobacco tax is recom- mended.
 A liberal treatment of means to promote our foreign commerce is also recommended.
