THE FRAZER RIVER.
1t Is Rapidly Coming Across the Line
 Into the United states.

The British Columbia authorities have brought to the attention of the Domin- ion Government the fact that the great Frazer river. which runs through some of the finest agricultural districts in the country, is undergoing a remarkable change that threatens sooner or later to divert the course of the stream from Canadian into United States territory. Within the last few years ravages have beon made by the river on adjacent 'ands which have caused great los3. The course of the Frazer river current has been constantly changing thToug1 iecades, until now it is said to be il some portions well nigh thrco miles from the river bed over which it ral within the memory of poopl" now liy- ing. The result is that large amount of tillable land has been cut ID by channels. inundated and rendered us"- less for agriculture. During the rast year the ravages have been SD bad thHt it has become a serious question. and settlers have been compelled to cmanl from the Government some meas; res for the protection of their property. The river seems now about to cut a channel in the direction of SummaS Lake, near the boundary, where it would be finally diverted from the lower portion of British Columbia into the state 0l Washington. At present the river flows all the way through British Columhi9 and enters the Gulf of Georgia few miles north of the boundary. In order to avert this active measures are to he urged on both the Provincial and Dos minion governments, for should the Frazer decide to get out of the country further to the south than at present neither New Westminster nor Van couver, which proposed to turn it into lBunard Inlet, will have it. Such a change would also be a most serious thing for the Frazer canners.-Nictoris {R T

FASHIONS FOR LADIES'

Empire styles stin in Favor-Fun Drsss
 ToiIets-London-Mad Gowns.
 Shoulder tumors' is what Dr. Treves calls the ridiculously high-puffed epau- letted sleeves now worn. In their exag- gerated forms these abnormal additions tn the bodice are both disfguring and irrational. The huge, rampant puifs and wing-like epauletts on most of the ultra fashionable gowns are ridiculous. Origi- nally on a graceful figure, they gave to the costume rather a military air that was not disaareeable.
 The continued liking for Empire styles keeps the high coiffure in fashionable favor, and an added feature is the mar row Empire bandeau of gold, silver, strung jewels, or flowers, worn single, double or triple. The hair is arranged in short full rings, and worn in pictur- esque disorder over the forehead. The very small models in spring bonnets be- token coming invasion of hair. Too much hair and not hat enough form a combination that has been fashionable before now. Quite mass of hair will be necessary in order to arrange the toque or bonnet to incline forward at the ex- treme angle of some of the forthcoming shapes. Does the shadow which falls before foretell the event of mas sive double-and-twisted chignon? The thought brings an earnest wish for the revival of the old sumptuary laws.
 For full-dress toilets are elegant new fabrics of diaphanous make-gold-em- broidered or in rich delicate Persian devices, combined with fine gold canvas and gold and silver nets. A rich gown made of these textiles is of gold-wrought India tulle over white moire. It has Valois corsage demi-decollette, low chemisette of gold fishers net, flaring collar spreading to the shoulders, and high tulle sleeves short and very full, gold embroidered, and still further frightened by insertions of gold net.
 Lcndon-made gowns, reproducing mod els designed for ladies of the court, are now in tho hands of leading American modistes, who are copying and modify ing these in the making of gowns for receptions at Washington, and also for evening wear at Fortress Monroe and other fashionable winter resorts. Duchess lace net and fiouncing, con- bined with Persian mauve crepe de Chine, form one of these exquisite tol- lets. Pearl and opal passementerie trims another gown of silver-blue Lyons satin, brocaded with tea roses and silver leaves. A reseda-green velvet court trained gown, linod with palest lilac silk, opens over potticoat of mignon- ette-green satin, striped with water green faille, upon which are bouquets of pale and dark heliotrope blossoms with background of pale-gold foliage IN.

THE SARGASSO SEA.
X Patch of Floating Sea-wecd in the Mldst
 of the Atlantic.

of the Atlantic.
 In the midst of the North Atlantic there is large patch of floating sea weed, which has kept its place for cen- tnries, with only slight driftings up and down according to the changing winds and currents. It was crossed by Colum- bus on his first voyage, and it's position and extent have been known over since. It occupies an immense eddy between the equatorial current on the south, and the Gulf Stream on the north. The name is from the variety of sea-weed which forms tho "sea." SargdssuDl bdcci- feritni-the berry-bearing sargasso. This sea is described by Doctor Gardner as he saw it on his voyage from Brazil to En- gland.
 While we were in about the fifty sixth degree of west longitude, and be- tween the twenty-sccond and twenty eighth degrees of north latitude, we passed through those enormous fields Of seaweed which have been described by almost every voyager in those seas. It existed generally in long, narrow strips or bands, lying across the wind, some- times not more than the ships length apart, at other times at a considerable distance from each othor.
 Much diversity of opinion exists as to the origin of this floating mass. Hum- boldt believed it to be detached from rocks at considerable depth in the attitudes where it floats; others suppose it to come from the shores of the north ern seas, having been detached from the rocks by the violence of the winds, Some again imagine that it comes from the rocky shores of the gulfs of Mexico and Florida; while many agree with mo in believing that it has never had any other than its present place of abode. No one has ever seen 1t attached to rocks, nor have roots ever been discov- cred belonging to it.
 During the five or six days that we sailed through this guif-weed, l hooked on board more than a thousand pieces, and every one of them presented the same appearance. The lower end of the stem had always whitish. decaycd appearance just like piece of tangle which has beon some time cast on shore, while the extremities of the branches were universally of very fresh and healthy appearance.
 Such being the case, we can scarcely help believing that these remarkable plants havo existed since the time of their first creation to the present period as we now find them, floating always in this revolving Gulf Stream, and under going perpetual change from decay at atone extremity, and growth at tho other.
 There nothing unreasonable in this opinion, & seaweeds are not like land plants, which derive nourishment from the spot to which they are attached Youths Companion.

A Reliable Test of Death.

Those timid beings who are haunted by apprehensions of being buried alive may now take courage, for science has supplied an infallihlc means of deter. mining whether or not the vital spark has quilted the mortal frame forever. Electricity enables us to distinguish with absolute certainty between life and death.

A Mean Nyoman of noston,

A woman who has not as yet been whipped of justice is going about from shop to shop and playing little game of which the profits are moderate but certain. She buys something worth 25 cents, pays for it, stands and waits a few minutes, and then says: "I must catch a train, and can't wait for my change. l gave you 50 cents, you know. Cant you give me the 9 cents%. Good natured girls give it, if the change which they havo in hand enables them to do so, but when the check comes back to them from the cashier they find that she who had to catch train really gave them 25 cents and it is not to be expected, as they have to make up the deficit from their own pockets, that they will be equally accommodating again very soon.

Something New and Good

Col. Durr has again made step for ward as a public benefactor. It had come to his ears recently, that some of the ladies of Tucsen were complaining about the beer sold ir this city being bitter. Being On confidential terms with his grandmother, famous old lady who has spent her lifei n studying the likes and dislikes of her sex, he wrote her, explaining what was the matter with the ladies of Tucson. The grandmother knew at once the remedy, and straight way sent ( carload of the celebrated Extra Pale Erlanger Standard Beer. This beer arrived yesterday, and has been sampled by the best judges in this city. and pronounced the best family beer in the West. It is just the thing for the ladies, and no bitter taste is car ried with it. The Colonel asks that every family try a few bottles of this beer, and feels confident that they will have no other afterwards. The grandmother has never made a mistake about the wants and needs of Tucson, and will answer for the satisfaction given by this new beer with her reputation, which is good.
 The Colonel has been instructed to sell this beer at SIP per bbl. and S2.20 per doz., so that all may share in the luxury nd benefits afforded by Its use.

IF Territorial Geologist Blandy is no more correct in his official report on the mineral output of other counties than he has been with that of Gila, the report, like some of the governors private let -tsrs, had better never have been made public. On the accuracy of this report the Silver Belt has the following:
 Territorial Geologist, J. F. Blandy, in his statistical report of the product of gold and silver for the year 1889, of the Territory of Arizona, gives that of Glla county as 5000 ln gold and S15,720.57 in silver, or grand total of SIG, ,72057. We are thankful for his not having omitted the 57 cents. otherwise the uninitiated in regard to Gila's boundless production of gold and silver might have supposed he had jumped at a conclusion We, however. are reluctant to gainsay his figures, but, for the truth of history, we are bound to correct bis official state ment by saying that single run of sill yer bullion from 8 tons of Fame ore during that year exceeded by S6,960,62 the official figures, of Mir. Blandy.

 The most considerate people in the United States live near Ozark, Ark. One of the politest and most considerate of those people is Jansop H. Sutton, a man of limited means, financially, but rich in courtesy. One day Janson, a bachelor, by the way, rode up to the fence surrounding tho house of Mrs. Greg, widow, and seeing her sweeping the yard, thus addressed her. 'Oh, Miz Greg, have you got time to come here a mint? l want to see you on little matter of business"
 ''I am in a putty big hurry to git this yard done, MT. Sutton, an if your busi- ness ain't so mighty important. wy, I'd like fur you to put it off awhile"
 All right. I'll be back this way in about an hour from now, an if you ain't busy then I'll tell yoa what I want. Good mornin'."
 Janson rode away, and about an hour afterward he again rode up to the fence.
 "Still busy, Mig Gregg"
 ''Yes, fur l aiM't got the yard done yet, an l wanted to finish it befo' ths preacher comes"
 ''When do you look for him?"
 Most any mint, now"
 Wall, then, l reckon I'll have to wait a while longer, for l don't want you to be embarrassed on my account" "HOw long would it take to attend to the business you've got on hand, Mir. Sutten?"

The Preventure of a Terrible
 Disease.

No disorders, excepting the most dead ly forms of lung diseases, involve such tremendous destruction of organic tissue as those which fasten upon the kidneys Such maladies, when they become chronic and none are so liable to assume that phase-completely wreck the system. To prevent this terrible disease, re- course should be had, upon the first manifestation of trouble, to Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters, which expe- rience has proved to be highly effective asa means of imparting tone and regu- iarity to the organs Of urination, as we'll as to the liver, stomach and bowels. Another beneficial result of this medi- cine, naturally consequent upon it's diuretic action, is the elimination from the blood of impurities which begit rheumatism, neuralgia, gout, dropsy, and other maladies. By increasing the activity of the kidneys, it augments the depurative efficiency of these organs, which are most important outlets for the escape of such impurities.

At Col. Durr's Place.

It was learned yesterday from tie Colonel himself, who was taught to ai- ways speak the truth by his good grand, mother, that since he moved his business fTC@a Meyer to Congress street, lis bus mess had increased in volume from day to day. He now sells one car load of John Wieland's beer every three weeks, and more than a ear load of Anheussr- Bush beer. in the same length of time.
 Beer is only one branch of the large business now carried on by Col. Durr, at his corner on Congress street.
 Swiss cheese is received in ponderous cases direct from the old country, and his sales amount to over TOO pounds month; also California cheese is hand led in large quantities, and the finest of Limberger cheese is always kept on hand, though the sales are notenormous- ly large.
 His cigars are all made specially for him and are sold at wholesale and retail
 THE wARUM DARUa BRAND IS we'll known and has no superior for the price. The latest brand is the Tip pecanoe, and it is equal to any cigar to be had in this market.
 Queen olives, the best ever offered in this market, are received direct from Spain, in huge casks.
 In the cellar is kept fine Sherry wine, dozens of barrels, ane everything that is better by being kept in cool place.
 Whiskey is received from not only all over the United States, but much direct from the old country, three or four fo the best brands made in Hamburg. In one room alone, the reporter counted
 155 BARRELS OF wRIsKEY, and including wines and brandies, his present stock would not fall short of 300 barrels and kegs. Also choice brand Of mescal is handled for the benefit of those who like it.
 Besides, all the finest bitters known to mankind, are kept, many of them being imported. In fact, everything in the way of saloon supplies is kept, and noth- ing but the best quality is sold
 IN ANOTHER DEPARTMENT was found bacon, ham, lard, ,piclzled pork, dried fish of all kinds, corned beef, tongue, pickled tongue, pigs feet, ssur kraut and vinegar, crackers, tobacco, mustard, chow-chow, deviled ham, ham, berger eel, and every table delicacy.

"THe Republicans note book contains a full account of the doings of Slippery Drake"
 The above is from the new paper re gently started in Phenix for the purpose of pumping responsibility into Arizona journalism and harmony into the Re publican party of Arizona. It begins the work by slandering one of the best men in Arizona, and a recognized leader in the G. o. F. MT. Drake is known ali over Arizona; he has been with OUT peo- pie more than twenty years; he has ser we'd them often in positions of trust ana honor. all of which have been discharg- ed with honesty and fidelity. Aside from his political career he has ever been a true friend to the best interests of Arizona and Arizonans. His greatest sin, as far as known, Tas holding the Fifteenth legislature m session over the sixty day limit, for the purpose of con- firming Republican appointees for Go- vernon Wolfley. The old residents of Arizona know of no reason why ''Slippe- " Drake" should be applied to him. Valley Bulletin.

IF congress concurs in the law as in terpeted by Attorney General Miller withdrawing all lands in the arid reggie l from public entry, it will be death blow to the development of Arizona. Home-ssekers will find no land to await their coming and many now settled and happy in the security and possessions of their houses, will be at the mercy of any land crank to whom the proposed re- sersoir system may be entrusted. But the hope of Arizona is in repeal ing this obnoxious law, or at least Sc much of it as may relate to the settle ment of the desert lands of Arizona. This we feel sure they will do if their attent- ton be properly called to the matter. This should be done by a unanimous move of the people of Arlzona who can not afford to let the prosperity of the territory slip through their hands for want of giving it attention. It is of no uss to raise TOW against the law if, it is there but all efforts should be bent in the direction of its repeal.

PRACTICAL TESTS.

 "As an evidence of the ability of Joys Vege- table Sarsaparilla to prevent sick headaches, we will give to the first twelve responsible persons who will apply at our office 6 bottle free if they will agree that after their headaches have been cured that they will admit the fact over their signatures"
 This offer so startlingly asserted the efficiency of the remedy that many accepted, and the let ters of the parties nearly all of whom responded, are probably the most convincing attestations that any remedy ever received. The .NllCyYing is sample of those received:-
