Pointer for Arizona Cattiemen.

It is evident that steer cattle are
 getting scarce in Texas, and it is hard to find them in any large
 punches. It has been supposed
 for some time that south Texas was
 pretty we'll supplied with them, but
 late advices from there are to the
 effect that they are pretty we'll
 cleaned out. Jesse Presnell and Dan
 Lewis were in the city yesterday en
 route to the territory, and they re- port there are no steer cattle to amount to anything in that part of the state. The beeves have been
 moving quite lively recently. Pres nell having shipped for his compa- ny 5000 since the season set in. Other parties have also been mov- ing cattle quite freely, until be- tween those shipped to the matur- ing pastures and those shipped to market the supply has been pretty well exhausted. This is not only the case in South Texas, but there IS marked scarcity of steers in all parts of the state, and when the movement of cattle is over the scar city will be still more mark ed. There is nothing alarming in this condition of affairs-to the contrary it is rather encouraging for those who have cattle that will make beeves next year. It used to be the case that from all quarters of the state could be heard reports of the large number of steer cattle and they were to be found on every bill. It was that abundance that caused so many to be rushed to market, having a tendency to de- press prices. Now just the reverse will be the case as to prices when next springs market opens up. Every indication is in favor of better prices and the cattlemen see it.-Fort Worth Gazette.

ArteSian Water Found in New Mex
 iCO.

Considerable excitement through out the territory has been occasioned by the news that artesian water has been struck in great shape just be- low Springer, near the Taylor ranch. Last Saturday, it is reported, that at depth of 251 feet, at the above mentioned locality, a flow of wa ter was struck that shoots out at the top of the we'll with considerable force. It is estimated that two hun dred and ten gallons per minute issue, and the flow is so strong that two men were unable to hold board over the pipe from which it issues.-Raton Range.

Take 10 Chance.

The other day Col. Wiggins of Horseshoe was sitting upon his porch viewing the beauties of na- ture. Suddenly there came over the knoll three or four Apaches. The colonel lost time in getting in- side the house for his rifle, and as he said afterwards, "Inever slipped cartridge into my gun quicker in my life" AS the colonel poked the rifle out of the door for a shot at the nearest Indian he was met with the salutation of "bueno Apache. :" The only good Apaches the colonel knew were the proverbial dead ones, he thought he had better begin shooting, and not run any chances. He pulled down his gun and just as he was going to press the trigger there rode over the knoll behind the Indians a buffalo soldier. It then flashed through the colonels mind that the Apaches were scouts and he did not fire. He advised the ser geant in. charge of the detachment to ride ahead of the scouts when approaching a house, and thereby avoid soaring unsuspecting settlers bald headed and may be saving the scouts lives.-Lordsburg Liberal.

Some discussion has been going on in Ceylon over the question of the language spoken by the Ved- dahs, the aborigines of that coun- try. The subject, says the Colonies and India, would seem to be one we'll worthy the attention of philo- logists; and the brothers Sarasin, who have been pursuing their an- thropological researches in Ceylon, express the opinion that if a philo- logist were to take the matter up great service would be rendered to all those engaged in the work of scientific research in the island.

The Climates of Past Ages.

If we follow the march of the vi.
 cissitudes of temperature, evident
 ly determined by some cosmical
 agency, we find at the beginning ot
 Tertiary times a moderately warm
 climate; then a rise during the Eo- cene, then a gradual cooling, inter-
 rupted possibly by some oscilla-
 tions, down to a degree nearly cor
 responding to that now prevailing,
 at the beginning of the Pleistocene
 epoch. Then the cooling continued
 below the present temperature, to a
 minimum at the time of the great
 est glaciation of the land then a
 re-warming in the inter glacial pe-
 riod nearly up to the present tenn
 perature after which cold and gla- ciaiion regained the upper hand, finally to give way to the present conditions, which are about mid way between the greatest warmth of the Tertiary age and the greatest cold of the Pleistocene. One fact stands out conspicuously, viz, that these changes progressed very irreg- ularly, and were subject to much oscillation, and the period during which We can approximately follow the course of the change is much too short to enable us to learn the law that regulated it. We can not decide whether oscillations like those of the Pleistocene will be re- peated, and we are now progressing towards another temporary Glacial or whether we have to ex- pect the return to a warmer tempe rature such as prevailed in Tertiary times, or, finally, whether the out come of all the deviations will be 1 lasting refrigeration of our climate. Just as little can we determine at | present by what agency all these vi- are brought about most plansihle. and simple zF4qa.slld t eef--I tainly be were the sun a variable star that at different periods emits different quantities of heat but for this or any other assumption there is no proof forthcoming. This enig ma, like so many others, will some Jay be solved by man's searching intelligence, but, like all other ac- luisitions of science, this goal can be won only by assiduous and pa .ient labor. Haply the triumph nay not be for our generation; but what we may certainly accomplish s to prepare the way to it, by an accurate and critical collection of he facts.-London Nature.

Professor Rosenthal, of Viena,
 writing in Pesth medical journal
 on the subcutaneous administration of iron, states that this method has proved advantageous in the cases of persons in a delicate nervous condition who suffer, as such often do. from dyspepsia accompanying debility, and in which state even small doses of iron, taken by the. will sometimes produce dis order of the stomach. In severer form of disease, however, such as pernicious an@mia, malarial sus- ceptibility, and the graver forms of lukemio, there does not appear to be any advantage in the employ ment of the hypodermic method of administering iron. Two special are recommended by Professor Rosenthal for hypoder- mic use, viz, the peptonate and the oleate of iron.

Taste is not equally distributed over the whole surface of the ton que. There are three distinct re- gions or tracts, each of which has to perform it's own special office or function. The tip of the tongue is concerned mainly with pungent and acid tastes; the middle portion is sensitive chiefly to sweet or bit ters, while the back or lower DOT tion confines itself entirely to the favors, of rich, fatty substances. This subdivision of faculties in the tongue make each piece of food un- dergo three seperate examinations. which must be successively passed before 1t is admitted into full par ticipation in the human economy.

A new departure has been taken in the plans for new building for the Congressional Library, in that the whole of that immense structure will contain ITO fire. The building will, of course, be heated, but the heat will be located outside the building. Vaults will be construct ed in the grounds where the fires and boilers will be placed, and the hot air will be carried into the libra " building by means of pipes. By this means complete protection against fire is secured.-Louisville Courier-Journal.

is its tendency and what it's proba
 ble effect upon politics, State and
 National. Although the movement is still in it's infancy, it is beginning
 to give distinct indications of the
 nature of its aims. Andif we may l fudge by the attitude of the party
 in South Carolina, it's aims are bad enough. The Farmers Alliance peo- pie have given fair notice that no
 man need hope for their votes who
 is not heartily in favor of an inde-
 finite expansion of our currency, of
 Government ownership of railroads,
 and the establishment of banks for
 the receipt or deposit of farm pro- duce. Which of these blanks of their platform is the maddest, it would be hard to decide.-New York Commercial Advertiser.
 The fantastic notion that the Uni ted States shall set up receiving warehouses for all farm products, giving negotiable certificates for the same at market rates, certainly has the Alliance indorsement in a num- Der of States. And it is, of course, an absurdity on it's face. But it happens that the Alliance platform in Minnesota deals very little with these vagaries. That document is, on the whole, quite conservative. The impelling motive of the move ment here lies in other causes-in matters largely local. Further, the number of farmers who are concern ed in Minnesota is considerably greater than Republican organs will admit. The nomination of MT. Owen was a levcl-headed piece of business. The Alliance cut loose by that act from the cheap-John politicians, who were trying to use them for selfish purposes. The loss that may be sustained from that source will be more than offset by gains from others. The Alliance ticket is good one. The platform is more moderate than in many other States. And Republicans might as we'll face the fact that the Alliance will cast large vote next fall in Minnesota. They might as well face the further fact that if the Democrats were capable of so good politics as the indorsement of Mr. Owens nomination, their chances for success would be such as to jus Iify most serious concern on the part of the Republicans.-Minne- apolis Journal.

It has been lately observed that water purified as much as possible, and standing only short time in contact with the air, showed next day a continuous decrease of con- .ductivity, which gradually dissap- peared, giving place to the normal unavoidable increase. Professor Pfeifer concludes that this is due to micro organisms coming into the waterand absorbing the conducting substances present.
