distance and their corpses have subse-
quently been found between the rails,
sometimes not 500 yards from q station
where safety was. Under such conditions
people cannot live for more than a very
little while without copious draughts of
water. The water in the blood dries
rapidly, all the secretions of the body
thicken and constipation of most direful
type sets in.
1t might be said that this Tornado del
Muerto was the ideal desert of the world.
In no other of the earth's most fear
full wastes can be found such natural con-
ditions Of ideal horror. Even the mirage,
tempter of the dying travellers despair,
reaches a more extraordinary develop
ment there than anywhere else. On fine
day-and in that region all days are fine,
because there is no rain-one can behold
in the Colorado desert, where all is hope
less misery around, beautiful lakes, tempt
ing verdure, and even towns with houses
and churches within distances apparently
small. Beyond all other characteristics
this desert possesses that of the pictur-
esque. For the aesthetic, who can live on
pictures, it should be an ideal abode. He
would never be fatigued, because the
strange phantasmagoria is endlessly
changing.
The explorer who is bold enough to ven-
ture into tn is region of despair for pur-
poses of investigation, is struck, to begin

self walking on what was once the bed of
the ocean, hundreds of feet lower down
than Neptune's waves are flowing a few
miles away. He knows that this branch
of the sea subsequently became an inland
lake, and it is with interest that he looks
upon the shores of what was erstwhlle a
mighty body of water. A great shallow
lake it was ages ago, and the rocky banks
which inclosed it still remain-cliffs of
imperishable stone, with the ancient water
marks still upon them. When water was
there the lime which it contained was de-
posted upon the rocky shores gradually
for thousands of years, so that now the
cliffs are coated with it three feet thick in
many parts, and one is thus enabled to OBJ

reservoir threw its waves in times gone by.
Its bed today may well afford study to
the seeker after marvels, as well as to the
geologist. 1t is desert wonderland.

THE PORTRAIT.

IT'S but lifeless pictured Yet its lines
Mark the lineaments love to trace;
And in subtle hues define
The contour of cherished facet
lis but a little pictured Yet to me
It's dearer than an empires sway,
Recalling days of ecstacy
Before the living passed away.
It's but a lifeless picture! Yet my heart
When my eyes upon il fall
Bounds and thrills with a sudden start
At the joys it doth recalll
'Tis but a pictured Yet to memory dear,
1t lends 4 sudden mystic glow,
And starts, alas, gushing tear
That for no common grief would flow!
IT'S but pictured Yet it doth portray
The features of q long-lost love,
Who, in his youth, was called away
Untimely, to the realms above.

seemed to shake the hills to their
very foundations. A heavy thunder
storm in the Himalayas is magnifi
cent but awe-inspiring.
We remained here as long as we
could, then took our line of march to
Pindari Glacier. But on reaching
point eight miles distant we found
our way blocked by snow and ice,
and further progress was not only
impracticable but dangerous. just
at this time the huge masses of snow
and ice on the mountain sides were
melting under the May sun and were
sliding down, blocking up and in
many places tearing the road away
for long distances We crossed one
large mass of snow and ice. 1t was
the first snow we had seen for over
two years and we reveled in it in true
school boy style. And on leaving it
we were wetter, sorer, il not wiser
men. After enjoying the snow I'M
til completely satisfied we slowly
turned our steps homeward
Though the great glacier had been
our objective point, and though we
had been able to get nearer than
eight miles to it, yet we voted the
trip grand success. The Glacier
has been described "as crumpled,
solid dazzling white stream making
it's resistless way into the valley be-
low. 1t leaves the impression ON
ones mind of some mighty torrent
suddenly arrested in its wild
headlong descent and frozen into
stiffness with all its surging burrows,
cascades, and leaping pillows, fixed
immovable forever and covered with
a mantle of purest snow.

RETTA SMITH.
Our beloved brother has passed away,
From the dark world to eternal day;
To dwell with Jesus for evermore,
An angel on the other shore.
With sufferings great to endure,
His heavenly hope was bright and sure
How sadly we laid him down,
But Jesus gave to him a crown.
His lovely form no more we see,
His presence no longer ours to be;
That voice is still we loved to hear,
That one is gone we loved so dear.
Oh how we miss his dear face,
Since he does lie in deaths embrace
Alas ! that our noble brother should die
Alas that in the grave he should lie.
But God who does all things for the best
Has called our precious one home to rest
The trials of life, its sorrow and pain
VIII never trouble him again.
A long, last and sad adieu,
Our darling brother we bid to you,
And God grant that when we are no more
Well meet the loved ones that have
gone before.
Life and sorrow done
Heaven and rest were won.o

Poisoned by Scrofula

Is the sad story of many lives made
miserable through no fault of their
own. Scrofula is more especially
than any other a hereditary disease,
and for this simple reason: Arising
from impure and insufficient blood,
the disease locates itself in the lynn
phatics, which are composed of
white tissues; there is a period of
foetal life when the whole body con-
sists of white tissues, and therefore
the unborn child is especially sus-
ceptible to this dreadful disease.
But there is remedy for scrofula,
whether hereditary or acquired. 1t
is Hoods Sarsaparilla, which by its
powerful effect on the blood, expels
all trace of the disease and give to
the vital fluid the quality and color
of health. If you decide to take
Hoods Sarsaparilla do not accept
any substitute.

The Office ought to warrant poor man
taking the Office. The poor man who be-
comes Governor can maintain portion
of mansion if he does not wish to incur
the expGnse of keeping up the entire
establishment. But the majority of the
States do furnish their Governors with
suitable dwelling houses. This State has
not done 30. The failure ought to be met
by local pride and courage in furnishing
the necessary residence, until the meet
ing of the Legislature. It so happens
that the residences suitable cannot be
rented, but can be purchased. The
Governor is, therefore, absolutely shut
out from opportunity to occupy dwell
ing house suitable for his position, and
unless house is purchased he must re-
move his family from the city. That is
the simple situation, and the way out of
it is to organize locally to secure proper
dwelling by purchase. 1t will be safe
investment.

IF the Farmers Alliance should con-
fine itself to the abolition of class legisla-
ton alone, it will have reasonable as
surance of success. The farmers are con-
vinced that the agricultural interest is not
in the condition it should be; that the
power which the people should have re-
tanned has been usurped, and invested in
rings, trusts, combines and machine pol
iticians, and that these are very largely
the products of class legislation. The
farmers ought to know, and must be as
sumed to know what is the matter with
their industry. They are beginning to
realize that the tariff legislation as manip-
ulated by the Mckinley blunder is class
legislation, and that under it they are
taxed upon their consumption, and to
maintain the very rings and monopolies
of which they have greatest cause Of COM

SAN FRANCISCO has developed public
speaker who has had the courage to tell
the people from the rostrum that the
streets of that city disgrace civilization.
So they do. For city with all the ad-
vantages it has, the wealth it represents,
the commerce it enjoys, the enormous
high values it revels in, its streets are
simply frightful. They are, indeed, in
such condition, in many of the busiest
sections, that tits absolute cruelty to drive
a horse over them. Of all the bone-rack-
ing, buggy-twisting, corduroy -jouncing
and Notwithstanding highways, the bust
ness streets of San Francisco take the
palm. Common mercy to beasts, if not
to human beings, ought to move the
municipality to such action as will work
radical reform in the construction and
repair of the streets Of the metropolis Of
California.
