In the cart,
We expressed our willingness, and
were shocked to discover that "this
thing" was the dead body ofa young
man.
'It's my son Abe,D explained the
man, who was a typical Kentuckiau
about go years Of age.
"But is he really dead ?"

'NO, sir; busted to death by his own

the body was decently cared for the

as to how he died. It's market day in

one of them blowing machines, and

"Do you mean lung tester?"
"ReckOn it was. You blow into it
and pinter flies round a dial TO tell
how many pounds you blow"
"Yes."
"Well, Abe. was gone on 1t, and I was
holding him back, when one of the
Stevenses stepped up and blew. 1t was
Bud Stevens, and Budd and Abe didn't
hitch, you know. They was alters like
two dogs, ready to fight, but waitin' for
the hat to drop. Budd made that pint
Eer hump for dear life, and the crowd
yelled and applauded. Then Abe says
TO ME:
dad, it won't never do to back down
for a Stevens. I've got to beat that
blow or we'll lose our respectability."
"Abe, you let it alone,' says I.
We've got mo- doggoned respectable

"But kin beat it, dad"
"Sposing We kin! What's blowin' a
pinter around amount to? That hain't

"But, gentlemen, that 'ere Abe felt
sore to see that 'pre Budd struttin'

Irrigation in the West.

Major ]. w. Powell, the director of
the United States Geological Survey,
contributes an article to the March Cen
ttt'y ON 1.-THE Irrigable Lands of the
Arid Region" from which we quote the
following: r,-4 81 Ng"8 -I7'GI70
"The Snake or Shoshone River heads
in the great forest-clad mountains of
Wyoming and runs across the line into
Idaho, then passes quite across the Ter
ritory until 1t becomes the boundary
line between Idaho and Oregon. Pass
ing the northeastern corner of the last
mentioned State, it enters the State of
Washington, and runs westward for a
long reach until it debouches into the
Columbia. The Shoshone River is one
of the great volume, second only to the
Colorado. Reservoir sites along its
course In Wyoming and Idaho have
already been revealed by the surveys,
and 1t Is shown that in the upperregion
water can be stored to an amount of
more than 1000, 600 acre feet. This will
irrigate at the first usage at least 2,OOO,-
900 acres Of land; and If they be proper
ly selected, 80 that the waters can be
collected again and again after serving
the land, the area redeemed will be
more than 1900, 900 acres, There are
many other tributaries below that have
not yet been examined, and 1t is safe to
say that the waters of the Shoshone
with its tributaries NAV ultimately
serve from 5000, 600 to 10000, 600 acres.
In it's utilization three classes of pro-
problems are involved. II the waters
are taken out In small canals near to the
river, and the lowlands served first, and
prior rights and interests established on
such lands, then but a small part of the
stream can be used, and the greater part
will run away to the Pacific Ocean; and
subsequently the region of irrigation
can be enlarged only by buying out
vested water rights scattered along the
course OF the river. But If at the very
beginning the water can be taken out
high up the river and carried in great
canals to either side and there distribute
ed to the higher lands, and used over
and over again on its return, a complete
utilization can be secured, and the cost
Of the construction of the system of ir-
rlgationlby reservoirs and canals will be
greatly rednced per acre. To irrigate
100000 acres of land near to the river
by short canals taken out along Its
course here and there will cost more
than half as much as the construction
of hydraulic works that will serve from
5000, 900 to :, 900, 900; while the scattered
minor works will be forever subject to
destruction by the floods, and the agri-
culture secured will be Of less value per
acre, because the best lands will not be
served, and only imperfect drainage
will be secured.n

IN NARROW QUARTERS.
A North Carolina Family OF Twenty
Eight Lives in One Room.

In the western part of North Caroli-
ma and about seven miles west of Hot
Springs there lives q family by the
name of Brooks. 1t is very interest
ing one, and many visitor to the aui-
ct little town of Hot Springs has had
his curiosity SO aroused by stories of
this family that they have hired teams
and driven seven miles to the Brooks
residence. This consists of little log
cabin in an unsettled district, and Is
occupied by father, mother and twenty
exceptionally handsome children.
Every one Is o blonde, with golden
yellow hair and peachy complexion,
and all as ignorant, wild and untutored
as they are beautiful. In addition to
the above family proper the two older
girls are married. One is q widow with
two childred, and the other has three
children and a husband. Both these
little families are living with the old
folks at home making in all family
of twenty-eight when none Are missing.
The house or log cabin, consists of but
one room and that q very small one.
On two sides of this are built seven
berths, lone above the other, against the
wall and they were evidently built with
the cabin. .tqr .or.Fyt5e
In these boxes the parents, children
and grand children lay themselves away
when night comes on. Three times q
day this Interesting family may be seen
at meals. The oldest members seat
themselves about on the ground In
front of the house, "Indian" fashion,
and are favored with tin plates and iron
spoons while the younger ones stand
around d rough home made table inside
the cabin eating beans with a relish
that is good to look upon. This is the
principal diet; now and then they have
q change, but 1t is of the same plain,
cheap order. They are all healthy and
robust, knowing nothing OF sickness.

WHATlT REALLY vs.
The Nature of Probably The Worst AZ
Fiction Known To Mankind.


A dull but dreadful pain in the muscles
and through the brain, first perhaps in the
shoulders, then possibly in one OF the limbs,
a feeling of WEAKNESS with the world, in
ability to eat well and impossibilty to sleep
WE'LL this is rheumatism. When it
goes to the head and causes Alll,
often an acute pain at the side,
over the eyes, or at the base of the
brain, it is neuralgia. Both are terrible;
both are dangerous When rheumatism
attacks tho heart it causes death; when
neuralgia becomes seated in the brain, it
brings on insanity. Such are these two
great evils.
Doctors have never understood neuralgia
or rhuematism. Some claim that they are
caused by an acid in the blood, others that
they are purely nervous Diseases still
others, that a weak state Of the body causes
them. The best authorities bclive that they
are occasoned by combination of all these
causes. The nervous system becomes weak
and reduced owing to the cares, the labors or
troubles OF life, and causes the blood to be
sluggish sta9uant and hence poisonous
This reduces the tone of the system and
rheumatism and neuralgia are the result.
Can they be cured 10y doctoriug the blood?
No, for even surprising that tho rheumatic
poison could he driven ont of the blood,
what good would this do? The blood cannot

this the only way of purifying it. What
