A Romantic journalistic Career.

The London Star is authority for
the statement that the career of Mr..
John Lowell, the editor-in-ch;Cf of the
Liverpool Mercury is one of the most
romantic in the history of English
journalism. His father, man of solid
sense AMI immovable honesty, was
working shoemaker at Guildford, and
Join, the eldest of seven children,
never had more than six months
schooling, and went out to work at the
age of ten. He tried his hand, as q
boy, at the grocery, baking, and dra-
perry businesses, but felt easy in none
of them. But when he was about if
teen his employer purchased lot of
waste paper from the establishment of
a London publisher, and John, in rum
maging about, was dclighte to dis
cover fragn cnts of Oliver Twist and
David Copperticld.
Reading how David learnt short
hand, young Lowell determined to ac-
quire the art himself. One of his
unclcs being a stationer in G"ildford,
John Obtaincu from him Pitmam's six
penny book. By-and-by he made an
effort to connect him elf with the press.
and just when lie was giving up all
hope, he received letter from the
editor Of the Surrey Standard offering
him The post of district reporter at the
magnificent stipend of five shillIngs q
week, which he eagerly accepted. At
this time he was advised to read Addi-
sons Spectator, and, acting on the adj
vice, he copied out in shorthand every
paper in the eight volumes, afterward
transcribing item into longhand, with
punctuation. AT twenly-threc he mar
| ricd and became connected with the
| Sheffield Times. Before his first year
! in Sheffield had expired the paper was
| boycottcd by the trade unions of the
town, and the business burst up in a
fortnight. In this diema he existed
for time on the proceed of sermon
writing, but ultimately obtained the
post of third reporter on the Birming-
ham Post, from which position he
rapidly rose to be assistant editor.
During this time he had educated
himself up to point which would have
entitled him to university degree,
and had ambitions in literature. This
ed him in 1868 TO accept the editorship
of Casscl's Magazine, which he left
shortly after to take the management
of the Press Association, which is truly
| Mr.. Lovelps own child. The establish
ment of this association was ire
mendous piece of work, and ran into
mountains of figures and details. In
| 1880 Mr.. Lowell was offered the chair
of the Liverpool Mercury, one of the
plums of provincial Journalism. Mr..
Lowell is a man with lion heart and
a big brain. lie is faithful and gen.
erous friend, agreat collector of books,
and an immense smoker. In social life
he is a brilliant talker. His influence
in Live pool has been very great. He
is just tifty-four.

Arid Area Of the Union.

The so-called arid area of the United
States, meaning the area which can
not be used as arabic land without
the aid of irrigation, has been
variously es mated; really it is I'M
known, but certainly it is vast. 1t is
pretty certain that in the State of
Nevada alone there are 4 200, 900 acres,
now of lit lie more productive value
than the house tops of this city, which
can be made fertile by proper system
of storage and distribution of water
supplies, and 10000 acres is in ex-
cess of the farm area of Massa-
chusetts. | is q territory adequate
to support of an agricultural popula-
ton of 800, 900. The reclamation of
these barren acres would make tho now
unhappy condition of Nevada as en-
viable as that of Iowa.
Nor need the cost of such work be
great for Arizona has reclaimed 800 900
acres of such land at cost of S3,000,-
600. And when it is considered that one
acre of irrigated land yields, at least,
as much as four of land moistened by
rainfall 1t becomes plain that the cost
is not excessive. Perhaps not even the
most favored parts of Kansas or Hi
nois have been b ought into cultivation
at less cost than ten dollars per acre.
Utah has 800, 900 acres of irrigated
land which have been redeemed from
the sage-brush area at cost of 50 ,000,-
900. Colorado has expended between
l0,000, 900 and 81, 900, 900 in reser-
vo:rs and canals from which many of
its &c, 000,0 900 acres of arid lands can
be irrigated.
Tie land under cultivation in New
York and al the New England states
counts fewer acres than the $4,000, 900
which can be made fertile in Colorado.
Idaho has about 1900, 900 of acres
now irrigated, and nearly 100000
more capable of irrigation, and Mon
tana, which has already constructed
about 2O00 miles of irrigating canals,
has total of 80, 100000 acres capable
of reclamation. These vast areas will
be brought under cultivation as the
difficulty in obtaining forest or prairie
lands in the States tillablc by rainfall
increases. They are the future gran
aries of the continent, and perhaps of
the world

How Actresses Change Costumes.

n Paris correspondent writes a.
follows:-
People are at loss to explain how
some of our actresses are able to
change their costumes in so short a
time as tEat which elapses between the
fall of the curtain on one act and its
almOs. immediate ri on another, as
often takes place on the Paris stage.
n lady friend, of mine, who belongs to
the theatre and wao knows, gave me
the following explanation.
When rapid change of costume is
in order, the dress is spread out OH a
chair inside the actresses dressing
room at the theatre. A popularity of
the dress is that all the bows and other
ornaments are already fastened in
place, and the garment is open in front
from neck to hem, though so contrivcd
that the junction will not be visible
when worn. BY this arrangement the
actress can make a complete change CT
costume in less than i've minutes.

THE HAWKEY z,

Not often does this paper give such complete
and conscientious endorsement to any institu-
ton as it gives below to the Hawkeye Insur-
auce Company of this city.
To begin with, it stands at the head of this
line Of business in the west. 1t is the king Of
all kindred companies. 1t is the Oldest, the
largest, and has the most honorable history
All the other smaller companies feel that
som, thing must be done to get business away
from the iawkeye, realizing that it has strong
hold upon the business of this State. Some Of
the wcalthiest men, financially, Of this entire
State are in this company, and its management
is par-excellence honorable and successful.
One of the very best evidences Of the value Of
Hav kcye policies came under our observation
recently. Our brother H. II. Reyuol, S, who
lost all his household G DDS by fire few Gays
ago, carried a 500 policy in the Hawkeye. The
very next day, without htggling or quibbling
in the lea't, the secretary, MIR. Howell, handed
him check covering the entire amount of the
policy. 1t is some satisfaction TO DO business
with such firm as the Hawkeyc. Christian
Worker.

u think of locating here

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one
from dyspepsia, another from heart dis
ease, another from liver or kidney disease,
another from nervous exhaustion or prostra-
ton, another with pain here or there, and in
this way they all present alike to themselves
and their easy-going and indifferent or over
busy doctor, separate and distinct diseases,
for which he prescribes his pills and po-
tons, assuming them to be such, when, in
reality, they are all only symptoms caused
by some womb disorder. Tho physician,
ignorant of the cause of suffering, encour-
ages his "practicen until large bills are
made. The suffering patient gets no better,
but probably worse by reason Of the delay,
wrong treatment and consequent complica-

tons. A proper medicine, like Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, directed 10 the cause
would have entirely removed the disease,
thereby dispelling all those distressing symp-
toms, and instituting comfort instead of pro-
longed misery.
It's the only medicine for the peculiar
weaknesses, irregularities and painful de-
rangements incident to women, sold by
druggists, under a positive guarantee that
it will give satisfaction IA ere1'y case, or

90 roo Reward cor ,J,o.t Cat

The equivalent In English money OF $500
was once offered by an old lady In London for
the return of fayoritc cat which had strayed
or been stolen. People called her ''crank, !"
and perhaps she was. 1t is unfortunate that
one Of the gentler sex should ever gain this
title, yet many do. 1t is however, frequently
not their fault. Often functional arrangements
will apparently change woman's entire nature.
Don't blame such sufferers IL they are cranky"
but tell them to use Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription, which is an infaliblc remedy fer
"female Weaknesses 1t will soon restore
them to their normal condition. 1t is warranted
to give satisfaction in every case, or money

How They Talk on the Stage.

The Stage hero never talks In simple,
straightforward way, like a mere ordinary
mortal
:'you will write to me when you are away,
dear, won't youi" says the heroine.
A mere human being would say:
.'Why, of course shall, ducky, every day."
But the stage hero is superior creature.
He says:
"Dost see yonder star, Sweet"
She looks up, and owns that she does see
Wonder star; and then off he starts and drivels
on about that star for full five minutes, and
saws that he will cease to write to her when
that pale star has fallen from its place amid
the armament Of heaven.
