Rio Grande Floods.

Fortunately for the lower valley the
continued cool weather in northern New
Mexico still holds back the SHOWS and
the Rio Grande is about on stand now,
varying only few inches one way or the
other night and morning. At Albuquer-
que force of men is kept on guard to
repair any breaks that may occur in the
dyke. This structure, according to the
local press, will stand yet rise of zone
foot or more" About Los Lunas great
damage has been done. Col. J. Frank
Chavez has letter stating that big
stream now runs between the bridge and
the town, and for FIVE or six miles below
the water is all over many fine orchards,
farms and vineyards.
At Ell Paso they expect the Santa Fe
street car bridge to 60 out any moment,
and the Times says the Street Car COM
pany have had large number of skiffs
constructed which they will use in con-
structing pontoon bridge, so that pas
sengers on their line can be transferred
The Santa Fe yards are partly under water
and the fiat south of the track is COM
pletely flooded. The city authorities have
a large force at work and have built a
dam two feet high, commencing at Stan
ton street and running along the Texas &
Pacific switch and White Oaks grade to
the residence Of Major Rand. The Inter-
national smelter will not be able to re-
sumo work for at least three months,
throwing out Of employment large num-
Der of men.

causes painful running sores on the arms,

Old Fashioned Watch Chains,

Among the presents showered on
bluslling brides this season figures the
old fashioned watch chain, more than a
yard long. After many years of sus-
pending watches from chatelaines, from
short chains hanging from a brooch and
from ribbons secured by monograms;
after wearing them in breast pockets or
tucked into the bosoms of dresses with
short chain pendants; after carrying
them in leathern straps or slipped into
the clasp of II bag or using them as deco
rations for the handles of parasols and
umbrellas, card cases and portemonaies,
as clasps for bracelets or concealed be-
meath a miniature in n brooch or behind
the heart of a floral pin-fashion has
gone back to the ancient style of chain
thrown around the neck that our mothers
and grandmothers affected.
The new chains are very fine and gen.
erally are divided ut intervals of three
or four inches by pearls, turquoises or
garnets, strung like beads, OF by small
diamonds, rubies, sapphires or moon
stones, set clear. AS for the watch, it is
hidden in tho folds of the dress or car
ried in a side pocket. tbs small in size,
and the back should be encircled or en-
tirely incrusted with gems similar to
those on the chain. Cor. jewelers.

Tho Cane Has Gone,

The really high caste London swell
has "cursed his stick and cast it out. !"
Swaggcr Englishmen no longer appear
in public with canes of any description.
The collection Of choice silver topped
and natural wood weapons they drew
mental sustenance from through so many
seasons has suffered u temporary divorce
from tho fashionable toilet. British
manhood is unprotected, andgoes empty
handed on the promenade save for a
glove possibly, or in stress of weather a
medium sized silk umbrella.
The collapse of the stick is attributable
to tho wholesale adoption Of imitation
costly canes by the London clerk and
petty tradesman.
AIRY, the haberdasher, greengrneer
and draper men were contcnted until re-
Gently to carry blackthorns or a light
rattan. To this no objection was raised
by the aristocrats, and all would have
gone we'll had not q sharp American
flooded the market with cheap, tlashy
copies of swell,lom's own stick. The re-
suit was intolcrable, and hence the uni
vcrsal remuneration Of canes in upper
circles. ILLUSTRATED American.

Epidom,cs Among Animals.

The epidelnics which show themselves
at certain intervals in cattle and other
domesticated animals have recently been
the subjects of many reports and discus
sions. Among these diseases none has at
tractcd more attention than that which
has recently decimated canaries and other
cage birds. Not very long ago upward
of 1900 canaries died in one year at Nor
wich, England, and occasioned loss to
the owners estimated at about s., ,00O A
medical man is now stated to be hard at
work inquiring as to the true cause Of
the disease, which at present is thought
to partake of tho character of diphtheria.
The subject is an important one, as the
transmission Of diphtheria to children
from domestic animals has come to be
not only frequent but occasionally most
serious in effects.-New York CONNER

Tho Popular Cosmos Flower.

Tho cosmos flower, which has como to
be all the rage here this fall, has an in
tercsting history, which Mr.. Small, the
florist, related. 1t is indigenous to Mex
leo, where it grows wild in the fields like
the daisy in this climate. Some four
years ago Il German florist in Hoboken,
N. j., propasatcd some of the plants
from imported seeds and introduced tho
flowers in New York. Then the plant
appeared in the Soldiers home gardens
at Hampton, near Fortress Monroe,
where it was found that it would bloom
as late as January and February, Oh ac-
count of the milder climate. A gentle
man near Alexandria, Va, then secured
a quantity of the seed and began to grow
the plant for the market. meeting with
such success that he has now several
acres covered with the cosmos blooms,
and he ships immense quantities to New
York daily.
Mr.. Small says that the plant cannot
be grown with great success farther
north than this city, as it succumbs to
the first frost. Thisis the first year that
it has become common, but just now
great branches of it adorn the windows
of each florists establishment, and can
be bought cheaply in the market or of
the boys on the street. The flower
makes pretty interior decoration, or it
will keep fresh for four or five days if
placed in a vase of water Immediately
after it is cut. The white blossoms are
the handsomest, resembling narcissus
in their white petals and gold hearts,
but there are other tints that are highly
priced. The cosmos is apt to be as pop
ular ere long as the chrysanthemum, al
though florists will always prefer the
latter.-Washingto Post.

a1urphy's Long Leap for Life.

John Murphy, a harness maker Of
Cleveland, sat up with sick friend at
Rocky river and started to walk home
next morning on the Nickel Plate track.
While crossings the bridge over Rocky
river, which is ninety-two feet above the
water, he was overtaken by passenger
train. He shouted to the engineer and
started to run, but it was too late. The
shriek of the whistle, the roar of the train
and the trembling of the bridge caused
Murphy to become panicstricken, so
that instead of lying down on the outer
timbers, as he might have done with
perfect safety, he leaped from the bridge
into the chasm below.
The passengers on the train and three
or four persons in the vicinity saw Mur-
ply turn over several times in his awful
fall and strike the water, which is only
six feet deep at this point, and supposed
he was killed. The keeper of the boat
house, a short distance below, pulled
rapidly to the spot, found Murphy still
struggling and hauled him into the boat.
He vomited freely, but quickly recov.
cred, and on the arrival of physician
it was found that, although badly shaken
up and bruised, he had sustained no seri
| Gus injury.-Cor. Chicago Herald.

Last of the Buffalo.

There is small herd of buffalo on
what is known as the Red desert, not
many miles from Laramie, Wyo. A
party of. hunters recently returned from
there and report having seen fifteen.
During their trip they captured two
with lasso, but 10th of them died, it is
said, from the effects of the choking they
received. One of them was taken after
a chase Of two days. Mr.. j. g. Robbins
was at the head of the party, and his
purpose in capturing them alive was to
add them to private collection of the
wild animals Of the Rocky mountains,
which he intends exhibiting at the
Worlds fair at Chicago. He left three
hunters in the hills near the desert for
the purpose of capturing other animals.

A Story Of 5000 s1anuscr,pts.

know an editor who is at the head of
popular periodical which, from its pc
culiar character, invites and receives
probably moro manuscripts in single
year than such magazines as The Cent
ury, Scribner's or Harper's. This year
he has already exhausted two manu-.
script record books, each holding 2,00O
entries, and the third is already half
filed. In other words, he has received
in ten months more than 5000 manu-
scripts. had the curiosity to look into
the figures last week which this enor-
nous deluge Of manuscripts told, and
they were interesting. There had been
received, for example, tride moro than
500 short stories, yet only II of these
had been accepted, less than per cent?
OF over 1900 poems few over 80 had
been accepted, a little better than 2 per
cent! and yetevery manuscript had been
carefully read, and the position of the
magazine is such that it is in q way of
getting much good Observation-Disclosures
