and store 1t for the dry season, and thus
take from the stream the water ueces-
sary TO continue it for the whole year.
The result Is seen in the annual drying
up OF mountain streams which formerly
ran the whole year round. The Platte
river was always large stream until
the canals were run from it and now it ia
little rivulet the greater part of the
year. Ten years ago the Republican
river afforded water for the immense
herds " bich ranged along its course, but
now it is bus mere shadow of its former
self during the summer. The Arkansas
river 10 Southern Colorado lie now barely
large enough to supply stock water the
year through, and every fall and winter
we have reports of the dying of cattle for
want of water in the countries where for
merly nothing of the kind was ever
heard Of.
''All these streams bring a smaller
volume of water to the Missouri and the
result Is seen in the gradual lessening Of
the channel. The water in the Missouri
river has less than half the volume that
1t had twenty years ago. Charts of the
Platte and Republican rivers show that
those streams have lost nearly three
fourths of their former volumes.
The professor showed several charts
and drawings giving the course of the
Missouri, Platte and Republican rivers
and showing ths canals leading off from
them. He also had the plans showing
the difference IN the streams before and
after the cutting of the canals. The
professor predicts that within ten years
the Missouri river will cease to be q MARI
gable stream, and that all theWsff The
government Gun do wilIsu1tSfS It.

LIKE so MUCH CHAFF.

At one time o heavy iron safe was
carried down stream and lost in the
Quicksaud with money and valuable pa
pers. went back to Denver five years
ago.. was there IN the spring when the
zu1cuntain SHOWS were melting. There
had been an unusual fall of snow that
winter and every body was looking for
flood In the creek and everything porta-
BILE was being carried to places of safety.
The spring came and passed but there
was no flood. Not only was there none
then but there has not been for several
years.
81 was struck with the incident, and
began to look into the matter. 1t was
then that the idea came to me that pos
sibly irrigation had something to do with
it. Upon investigation l found that all
along the creek irrigation canals had
been dug until the stream was supplying
water for thousands of acres along Its
course. When the big floods came the
surplus water was sent off through the
small streams to the various farms along
the route, and the result was that by the
time the flood got to Denver there was
not enough water left to cause the over
flowing OF a cellar.
''Having satisfied my mind that this
was the direct result OF irrigation, at
once began to Investigate further, and
extended my studies to the larger
streams, with the result that rhave now
theory regarding the gradual diminu-
tion of water in the uavigable rivers,
which think not only reasonable but
thoroughly tenable. 1t is not caused BY
the denudation of the mountains nor BY
the laoK OF rainfall, but solely by the d.
version of the water from the river chan
nels by irrigation canals, which tap the
streams all along their courss.
81 have made a careful examination
of the sources of the Missouri river and
find that the Platte and Republican
rivers, which are two of its most impor-
tant tributaries. have been so diverted
that where they were formerly broad
flowing streams, they are now, in many
places, almost dried UP and even sink
into the sand and run for many miles
under the ground. All along their banks
there have sprung up during the past.som
years
MANY PRODUCTIVE FARMS
which are irrigated by the water that
once flowed to the Missouri river and
swel!ed Its volume during the spring
foods. This water, taken from these
tributaries in canals ten and fifteen feet
wide, some OF them being many miles
long, now supplies the growing crops of
the farmers of the West, where q few
years ago ii went Ia its whole volume
down to the Missouri In annual food.

Slow Suicide.

The ingenuity of the would-be suicide is constantly taxed 10 accomplish his purpose outside the beaten paths of self destruction. Jonathan Williams, of Da- vidson county, N. C., deliberately starved himself to death. Insisting that his ap- petite had failed, he refused food, put ting aside the tempting dishes prepared by an anxious wife. Twenty-Five days served to finish the job, and whiletthe average healthy mind sees the superior advantages of pistol or chloroforms the gentleman in question probably derived a good deal of solid enjoyment in the prog. ress of his hunger, and the unpleasant but novel sensations of the experiment.

Volume 8. Number 1.

Congressman Catchings of Mississippi, whose seat is being contested by colored man named Hill, has been writing to pa- per in his state, and the paper has had the political unwisdom to publish the letter: In it the congressman refers to the united States distrct attorney in hls state as "whelp," and suggests that 1t Would s9 De we'll if one or two of the witnesses for Hlii should disappear. Coming from a man who holds seat in congress this scarcely overt suggestion of murder IS something worth thinking about, certainly. Remarks like this naturally prejudice all good citi- zens against the man who makes them.

Nehemiah Holt bought tract of wild land, situated on Orchard Hill. He built house on what is known as the Pine Lot, and moved into it with his family. He was shoemaker by trade, and used the cavity in large hollow tree as shop, having door hung Tn the opening. Up- on the breaking out of the French and In- dian war, he left his wife and five children and joined the army, where he" took an active part in actual service till it's close. His children died during his absence. He spent his remaining years at home. Five other children were born to him, of whom Nehemiah, Jr., born in 1754, was the only son and succeeded to the estate He joiu- ed the army upon the breaking out of the revolutionary war and shared its fortunes for six years, participating in the battles of Long Island, Harlem Heights. Trenton and Princeton. In the retreat through New Jersey he-rode by the side of General Washington.

 MT. Holt had sixteen children, of whom three are now living, Henry, aged s7, in Ada, Mich., Lucien, aged s7, in Willing tom, Conn.,, and Austin, aged "A, of this place. Three of his grand children served in the war of the rebellion, and one of them died in Andersonville prison.l The house first built was taken down about five years ago, the present building having been erected by Nehemiah, Jr. The house has been situated m three towns without changing its location, Windham, Hampton and Chaplin. Upon the death of Nehe- miah, Jr., Austin succeeded to the place.

ENGLISH WAYS IN AMERICA.

We do not claim to have all the graccs that come from generations of culture, leisure and wealth, but when you speak of manners of English and French girls as being so far superior to anything we can show, I would like to remind you of some things I have met with among English people,.
 For example: A distinguished English man was travelling in this country with his daughter. This man was renowned scholar, and was supposed to be gentle. man. He was very severe in his criticisms upon American manners; and he did not spare us in any direction. Our manners were boorish, our scholarship superficial, our institutions badly managed. our politi- cal organizations very inadequate, and though he admitted our country was large. and materially prosperous, in his estima- tion it was altogether failure in every thing that constituted dignity, scholarship and culture. This gentleman was receiv- ed by the best families he was dined and wined and feted; he was taken by our most cultivated and scholarly gentlemen to visit the colleges and state institutions 1; nothing in the way of cordial hospitality was left undont. He was dining with one of our best families one day, and while at the table, his daughter, young woman of twenty or more, remarked to her father. who sat on the opposite side of the table, "Pdpar, this dinner is not as narsty as the dinner where we dined larst." For true politeness could any American | girl exceed thls {?
 Another example :, There are some re. spectable families who from principle do not use wine on their table. An English. man, dining with family who had pro- vided every luxury that the market could afford, said to the hostess: "Why do you not offer wine to your guests ?" | She replied: 1T am conscientiously op. posed to the use of wine"
 He said, "If you do not use it yourself I do not understand why you cannot pro- vide it for your guests"
 One more: An Englishman was invited to dine with one of our most prominent gentlemen, who had provided a dish pc, culiarly American for the first course. a fish chowder 1; the host said courteously after they were seated at the table. ssI lshali offer you dish which presume you will never find out of America. It IS q fa vorite dish with us; I trust you will enjoy it."

All medical authorities agree that catarrh is no more or Jess than an inflammation of the lining membrane of the nasal air passages.
 Nasal catarrh and all catarrhal affections of the head are not diseases of the blood, and it is serious mistake to treat them as such. No conscientious physician ever attempts to do so.

CONGRESSMAN RussELL's WIFE.

y couples in the social sphere of the repre- sentatives is Charles Addison and Ella Sayles Russell (writes Randolph Keim in The PhiladelphiaInquirer), of the romantic borough of Killingly, Conn. Mrs. Russell was born in Killingly and received her girlhood education at her home schools. Her finishing course was taken at the eel ebrated Dread collegiate institute at Wor- cester, where she passed four years. She also took postgraduate course at the Worcester county music school, where she cultivated her genius for muSic and be- came very proficient. ;. While passing through her educational training at Worcester, Miss Sayles, then 13 years of age, met the youth, then pre- pairing for Yale college in the high and Latin and Greek schools of his native town of Worcester, and who afterwards became her husband. Young Russell fin ished his collegiate course in 1873, when 21 years of age. The year 1879 witnessed at Klllingly ceremony which culminated the school day love of these young people in marriage. Since that time Mrs. Rus sell has not only adorned the home life at Killingly, but the distinguished society of the beautiful capital of Connecticut in the circles of the assembly, and later as wife of the secretary of state.
 From the social honors of wife of the first officer of the administrative staff ol the chief executive of the commonwealth of the Charter Oak, Mrs. Russell almost immediately passed into the sphere of the ladies of the families of the national repre- sentatives. Mrs. Russell's descent on the parental side is from the. noted Puritan blood of Roger Williams. Her father
 Sabin l.. Sayles, large manufacturer o
 woolen goods, went to Connecticut from
 Rhode Island. MT. Russell. on his fath
 er's side, is descended from Dr. Dunster
 first president of Yale college.
