THE INSANE ASYLUM.
Proceedings of the Trustees Special
Manipulating the Work.

The meeting OF the insane asylum
trustees held on Saturday at Las Vegas
was an important one. Judge Long was
absent in Colorado and Mr.. Lopez on his
ranch, but the meeting made up in energy
what it lacked in members. All the mat
ters which have to be attended to before
the institution can he opened were pressed
toward completion. The bids for the
construction of the six celled rooms in the
basement for violent cases, were opened,
and the contract awarded to John Hill at
$500.
On motion of Governor Prince, bids for
the furniture, etc, will be Immediately
advertised for, and opened on May 20. 1t
from 81 300 to 81 800.
The committee in charge OF the matter
having reported that the water supply
from the Water Works Co. could not be
depended on, the board visited the
grounds, selected place for well and
voted to construct the well and purchase
windmill and tank at once.
A committee consisting OF Trustee Will.
denstein, DR.. Gordon and Mr.. Ward was
directed to have all necessary matters
connected with water pipes i'll the build
ing finished Immediately Secretary Ro-
nero is sending out forms of contracts to
the board of county commiss toner's, and
it is hoped to have a sufficient number of
answers by the next meeting to justify
the board in opening the institution as
soon as it is ready for occupancy.

DENVER, May 13.-The loss OF New
Mexico's capitol building, while from an
immediate standpoint, it must be viewed
as territorial disaster, it may with a
view to the future with equal sincerity be
construed as one Of the greatest of
blessings by reason of its being the means
of Weakening the minds of the people OF
the territory from that lethargic, indolent
and Indifferent spirit which only a great
calamity could awaken. 1t should also
be warning to the people OF Santa Fe
and cause them to take more united
and determined stand in the direction of
the improvement of their water and fire
service. The spirit Of parsimoniousness
has long prevailed in Santa Fe to her
detriment. Now, let united efforts be
directed toward rebuilding the capitol,
and let street improvements, public parks,
sewerage and other matters in the interest
of the masses receive the attention they
long since deserved. Yours truly.

ROUND ABOUT TOWN.

By all means; the streets must be
sprinkled and kept dry.
Upper Palace avenue should be filled
in and the street put into good condition.
City council meets tonight. Business
in the interest of the city should be trans
acted.
Just one word: Cracking will not re-
build the capitol; do you understand? II
you do, act accordingly.
Attend the Eckert-Heck concert this
evening at the court house; you will enjoy
it and help very worthy enterprise
along.
The 10th infantry band concert yester-
day afternoon was listened to by large
concourse of people and was greatly en-
joyed.
Bids for city printing and the furnish
ing of stationery, blanks and record
books for the ensuing year will be opened
at to-night's meeting Of the council.
The city council must settle the street
sprinkling matter this evening. Some
thing should and must he done. Clean
and we'll kept streets are absolutely neces.
sary.
H. W. Esston returned last night from
Abiquiu; he reports that good deal Of
wind and cool weather has prevailed in
that section of the country and that all
crops are backward.
Irof. Hadley, the efficient and well
known president OF the Las Cruces agrl-
cultural college, writes the New MEXICAN :
owe are very sorry at the loss of Santa
Fe and the territory of New Mexico in
the burning of the beautiful capitol build
ing"
A call has been numerously signed !,
calling for the organization of a young
mans Republican club. The meeting for
organization will be held Wednesday
evening at o'clock, at the rooms OF the
order OF Knights of Mutual Protection on
Water street.
The sidewalk on the south side OF the
plaza should be made uniform and the
ugly and dark Delgado portal should come
down; there is no earthly reason why a
stairway should be allowed on that side
of the plaza to the great inconvenience Of
the people.
The county commissioners are taking
steps to have the bridge across the Santa
Fe river on Bridge street repaired. Some
astute legislator, it seems, once upon
time worked through law providing that
city corporations should have nothing to
do with bridges lover forty feet long,"
hence this bridge falls to the care of the
county and not the city.

The Mnsin Of Natnre.

The bass Of thunder is considerably
lower than the lowest sound produced In
an orchestra-below the zero Of music,
we may call It, at which all positive ap-
prehension of musical sound ceases, and
our senses are merely conscious of a roat.
In observing the music OF thunder, our
attention, however, may be most profit
ably directed to the expression rather
than to the notes. The musical dim-
inuendo is more perfectly represented by
thunder than by any other form Of sound
in nature. After the first clap is over,
the ear will pursue with pleasure the
rolling away and gradual faihting of tho
peal, until at immeasurable distance 1t
sinks into silence.
The melody Of rain dancing on the
stones, or pelting down in its first drops
on the dry soil of forest or hearth, is
aspecies Of sound which the art of music
has yet TO initiate, If it would complete
its at present very incomplete list of in-
struments. The Mexicans had some
rattles made Of very peculiar clay, with
pipes inside, which wre intended to rep
resent this sound. Certain tribes of tho
North American Indians have been simi.
larly fascinated by the loud plash of
water, to tie beauty Of which We have
alluded before. They have instruments
constructed accordingly with a view to
to reproduce this sound. Large buffalo
hides are filed with water and sewn up
in the manner of wine bags. Drum
sticks of cork, or with their heads COW
cred by very fine gum, are welded by
the player, and the gentle and monoto-
nous plash of water is produced by the
drumstick striking softly on the skin.
The natives will sit and listen to these
instruments for hours.
Certain tribes on the Amazon have in
similar way been fascinated by the music
of the waterfall. Musical instruments
were found in use among them consist
ing of complicated mechanism by
which water was poured from one bowl
into another, in imitation of the cascade,
and then returned by the receiving bowl
into the vessel which had poured it; so
that by repetition of this mechanism a
constant murmur of cascade could be
kept up so long as the audience desired
or the player was able to perform it.
Good Words.

RIGHT WAY To KILL. nrsHEs.

The ancient superstition that bushes
may be killed in August never dies,
writes Arguside. A neighbor, an old
man, has cut the sprouts in the old pas
ture every year during my decade of
neighborship, and now the roots are
more firmly fixed than ever. He will
leave the job to his children and they to
theirs, and the pasture will grow worse
all the time. My way is to tear them
out of the ground by force of pair OF
cattle or steady horses. have strong
grab hook with three claws, which is put
into the root, aud when the pull comes,
any root that holds is severed by one
blow of an axe, and the thing is done.
An overgrown field that came into my
possession is now being cleared at Il cost
of $3.50 per acre; it would cost nearly
as much to grub it in the usual way by
cutting in August and leaving the living
roots to gain equal strength the next
year. When the old field is plowed
next spring I can put the plow eight
inches deep, and make a thorough job o.

GENERAL SCOTT AND TEMPERANCE.

General Scott was in command at Rock
Island when the cholera broke out there,
and, after various injunctions in this order
as to sobrety and cleanliness, he added this
curious paragraph, which was recently
printed in the Magazine of American
History; In addition to the foregoing, the
senior surgeon present recommends the use
of flannel undertaking, and woolen stock.
ings; but the commanding general. who has
seen much of disease, knows that il is in-
temperance which, in the present state of
the atmosphere, generates and spreads the
calamity, and that when once spread, good
and temperate men are likely to take the in
fectlon
He therefore, peremptorily commands
that every soldier or ranger who shall be
found drunk or sensbly intoxicated after
the publication of this order be compelled, as
soon as his strength will permit, to dig a
grave at a suitable burying- place, large
enough for his own reception, as such grave
cannot fail soon to be wanted for the drunken
man himself or some drunken companion.
This order is given as well to serve for the
punishment of drunkenness as TO spare good
and temperate men the labor of digging
graves for their worthless companions"

THE REDNEss OF BURNED SOIL

All soil contains more or les iron.
And when new land is cleared the ground
under the log heaps is often quite red
from the iron contained in it, and which
has been oxidized by the burning. There
are cases IN which burned earth is used
as manure with benefit, and the reason is
that the burning oxidizes some of the in
soluble earthly matter and renders it
available for plant food. Generally these
burned patches contain so much potash
as to kill vegetation, and keep barren for
years until the potash has been washed
out by the rains. If the burned soil IS
spread over the land and fresh soil put
in its place, these unsigh.ly spots on new
land would be prevented. New York
Times.

GROWING HENS.

as soon as n hen begins to crow,
writes Mrs. A. Z. G. Maskell, she be-
comes of no further use-gets quarrel
some, ceases to lay, and struts around a
laughing-stock for everybody. One tried
to crow and lay too, but the eggs she
merely dropped where she was walking
they were soft -shelled at that, some of
them shaped most curiously; one of them
looked like gourd with a crooked
handle. Some poultry people think crow
ing might never occur il good roosters
were kept and the hens fed with she'll
producing food. Lime and ground up
oyster or clam shells should be kept
within easy access; feeding pounded
eggshells might teach them to eat their
own eggs. Soft-shelled eggs are rarely
found in the nest, hut are dropped
around in the hen-roosts at night. A
lady in Jersey found an egg with too
much shell; inside the first was another
smaller but perfectly-formed egg, shell
and all, containing the yolk and white,
while the outer shell was filled with
white alone surrounding the inner
shell.
At this time OF year if hens are we'll
fed with cooked food and kept warm and
comfortable they will soon lay; and it is
the chickens Matched out in February
and march that prove so profitable. My
mother thought her hens laid better fed
on wheat screenings, but also fed out to
them potato and turnip pariugs, together
with scraps from the table, boiled up
and thickened with coarse cornmeal,
which she gave smoking hot. OF course
hen must be kept comfortable if she is
expected to lay in wiuter-and when SO
kept how her looks show it! How hel
eyes glist.n. How crimson her comb.
How smooth and glossy her plumage.
Be sure she is infested with no vermin,
especially the large, white head -louse,
which saps all her strength, feeding
about her head under her ears anC
around her throat. Catch the "var
mint" and kill it if you can; if not
grease her on the head and around tn,
throat with sulphur and lard. Cleanli
ness aveIts many of the diseases tina
make such fatal ravages in the poultry
