A writer in Harper's Magazine of Feb
ruary, 1855, gave the following descrip-
ton of a remarkable table made by Pro
fessor Segato: at comprises every por-
ton of the human body transformed
into stone, destined to endure as long as
the world itself if not ground to pieces
by violence. There are really two tables,
one finished and polished, the other in,
complete, made of mosaics formed by
sections of human bones, brains, lungs,
blood vessels, intestines and muscles, all
as firm as marble, and showing the in
ternal structure of each.
Without an explanation a visitor
would suppose them to be from some
mosaic mandatory, for they are sym
metrically arranged in squares, trian-
giles and circles, with the great variety
of colors nicely graduated. Different
portions of the human body, showing
the internal anatomy, are SO perfectly
petrifed as to form a fine object of
study for the medical student. Even
morbid anatomy was subjected with en-
tire success to this process. Animals of
all kinds, chickens and reptiles, in short,
nothing that has blood was capable of
resisting Segato's petrifying touch"

WASHINGTON, July l4.-For the past
year the authorities have been attempting
to improve the quality OF recruits in the
regular army, SO as to lessen the per
ceptage Of deseltion, which was growing
alarming. Extra endeayors were made
to secure young men who sought the
army as a profession rather than a haven
Of refuge. To this end, the efforts of
the officers have been Systematically
turned from the cities to the country.
The effect of these efforts begins to show
results, and they are more gratifying than
it was expected they would be, and the
officers are well satisfied that the policy is
a good one.

Doctors arc sometimes more consid-
crate of their patients needs than they
are of their circumstances. 1t is easier
to prescribe a journey to Europe or Ber-
muda thar it is to fill the prescription.
A gentleman whose affairs had be-
come very much embarrassed, and who
was overworked and overworried, went
to a celebrated specialist, broken down
with nervous exhaustion.
Now" said the doctor, there is only
one thing that you must have, that is
absence of worry, absence of care and
freedom from all preoccupations."
Much obliged for your prescription, p"
said the gentleman, 'but you've left out
one important thing in it."

COTTON, Cal, July I4.-CaDt Frazer,
who has known the Colorado river Tor
thirty years, and who perhaps Is the best
authority on the Colorado desert, was
seen here today in regard to the Salton
lake. He lives at Banning, just on the
end of the desert, and he has questioned
all the Indians who have come IN.
I'm discussing Salton lake" said he,
mo a word has been said about Hardy's
Colorado, which | consider the prime
factor. The mouth OF HardY's Colorado
commences IN the river about fifteen miles
from the Cult of California, and its
course Is to the north and east from the
direction of Salton. 10 II | went TO an in-
vestigatlon OF the sulphur mines in the
Cocopah mountains, and assembled this
river TO its headw aters. Last winter |
met a man who had beer to those same
mines, who told me he had TO go to Black
Butte to cross Hardy's Colorado. From
the place [ landed to Black Butte | esu
mated hat it was over twenty miles. l
stated at the time that if Hardy's Colo
RADIO led by the gulf could en-
croach on the desert twenty miles
in twenty years, 1t would only be a few
years until we woul1 have Salton
basin filled. From authentic reports yes
terday Salton lake rose TWO inches in
twentY-iour hours. From mathematical
calculations, If the present area of the
lake were to be raised two inches it would
require 10000 cubic ieet of water per sec
ond. The estimate of the water passing
under the bridge at Yuma is about TO-,
600 cubic feet per second. THIS proves
the regular Colorado isn't furnishing the
water. Now where Is this Salton water
coming from?
IA reasonable explanation is that the
rise of the Colorado river filed the basin
at Indian Wells, and the south branch of
New river poured into Hardy's Colorado,
cuttipg a wide channel through sand hills.
The spring tides OF the gulf have been un-
usually high this season, and these tides
have thrown the gulf back through the
channel of Hardy's Color ado into Indian
Wells, which is thiriy-eight feet below
sea level, thence by way OF Carriso creek
into Salton basin, which III los feet below
sea level. This created a tremendous cur
rent, supplied by the ocean Itself, tearing
and cutting away the sand banks. and
forming, instead of n lake, a permanent
arm OF the Gull OF California"

JOSHUA, Tex, July IA This morn
ing, al an early hour, two men went to
the home of George Newberry. living two
miles west. Newberry was absent and
the men demanded from his mother some
money they supposed he had received a
lew DAYS previously. The old lady told
them she had no money in the house,
whereupon they took her in the yard. tied
her to a gate post and slashed her throat
with a knife. One man went back into
the house, seized a child of I years and
asked her where hes fathers money was.
The child refused to tell him. whereupon
the ruffan took her out into the yard and
cut her throat with a knife. Gong back,
he took out a 5-vear-old girl and a 2-year-
old baby boy, killed both in the same
manner and piled the bodies together.
The miscreants hen went away. The old
lady is still living, but cannot recover.
Officers are securing the country for the
murderers.

A grave professor concerned with read
ing the essays of a large number of grad
yates from a c~o-educational college
demolishes an old respectable tradition
when in a private letter he writes:
Brass clamps are a great improvement
on pink ribbon for tying up the loose
pages of wise young women's wise essays,
but the present generation of girl grad,
yates would never think of using ribbon
anyhow, it commonly chooses cotton
Irvine or mucilage." Herein is shock
ingly exempliied the influence of the
mind masculine over the character
feminine. The knot of ribbon is still
very much the rule in schools where
girls alone do congregate. Exchange.
