A heroic woman named Miss K, Marsden recently made q dangerous journey into the province of Ya- kutsk, in Siberia, in search of plant which, she had heard, would cure leprosy. She rode on a Ya- kutsk horse with wooden saddle for two months without having an opportunity to bathe or change her clothes. She found the plant she was hunting, but it does not cure the dreadful disease, although it eases the suffering. She has found ed a colony for the Yakutsh lepers, and six Siberian nuns will help to nurse them.

In one respect at least Quito, the capital of Ecuador, is the most uni que city in the world-it is situated in both the northern and southern hemispheres, distinction claimed by no other place of importance on the globe. At Quito the sun rises and sets at o'clock the year around. You may forget to wind your watc h while you are visiting the Ecuado- rean capital, but you need not hunt up a regulator-set 1t when the sun rises or sets and you will be sure to be right. Old Sol makes no mistakes. In one part of the city the summer season does battle with old winter who is just across the street. The seasons. as far as names are con- cerned, change almost instantly but, as the temperature is remarka- bly even, these curious points are seldom thought of or commented on by the 50,000 people who make Quito their home.

Mountains and Valleys 0t Salt.

In Lincolon County. Nevada, on the Rio Virgin River, there Is de- posit of pure rock salt, which is ex- posed for length of two miles by a half mile in width. No living man knows the depth of the depos- it or the conditions which brought it about. It is known, however, that the "vein" is plowed by the cai1ons of immense rivers which have fur rowed it to a depth of 60 to 100 feet, making for themselves banks of crystal salt as pure and clear as the clearest ice glass. The sand" of these rivers is almost wholly com posed of pure crystal of salt. Where ever this mammoth salt vein has been worked the operators have found it as hard as granite, rock drills and blasting powder being the chief tools used. Salt quarrymen often remove blocks from the de- posit that are 8 feet square and so transparent that common print can be read through it. AtSand Springs, in Churchill County, Nevada, the conditions are very similar, salt, salt, salt everywhere. It is free from any particle of foreign sub stance, and so easily worked that one good hand can remove from five to ten tons per day The Hum boldt salt fields in the same region are fifteen miles miles long by six wide, the salt stratum being like that on the Rio Virgin, of unknown depth. Besides these immense salt mines the same locality has whole mountains of pure borax and other substances which are usually reck- oned as being valuable.

An exchange says: Country edi- tors are always poor, but that is be- cause they are not mean enough to get rich. In order to get rich 1t is only necessary to trust nobody; to befriend none, to get everything and save all you get; to stint our selves and everybody belonging to us, to be friend to no man and have no man for our friend, to heap interest upon interest, cent upon cent, to be mean, miserly and de- spised for some thirty years and riches will come as sure as disease and disappointment. And when pretty near enough wealth is collect. ed by a disregard of the human heart and at the expense of every enjoyment save that of wallowing in filthy meaness, death comes to finish the work. Country editors prefer to remain poor, live happy and die happy"

 F. NJ. Murphy says that the building of the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phenix railroad Is attracting great attention to Arizona in the east. During his recent visit to Denver he says he met great many mining men who are looking toward Arizona for investment and upon completion of the road to Prescott he thinks there will be a large in Aux of people here. With the i'm proved methods for treating refrac- tory ores that are being made at a greatly reduced cost, and with the immense quantity of such ores that are found in mountains surround ing Prescott there seems to be nc reason why prosperous era for the immediate future of the town and country is not,in store forthem.- Herald.

Business Outlook in the South.

Our advices from various centers in the South indicate steady i'm provement in general business con ditions. The widespread depres- sion, resulting first from the finan- cial disturbance of eighteen months ago, and greatly augmented by the abnormally low price of cotton, Is gradually wearing away and conf dence is being restored. Money is more abundant in Southern banks and loans are readily obtainable upon good security A general spirit of economy and an effort to pay debts are two significant. features of the situation that tend greatly to improve credit. The unprofitable- ness of the last cotton crop, and the caution of factors in making ad- yances for this season, are diverting the attention of planters to an un- usual degree from cotton to food crops. The iron industry is dull and prices are still abnormally low. The lumber trade at all points in the South is in good condition and prices have been advanced in seve- ral lines. The demand is active and shipments have been very heavy, but the disturbed condition of the building trades in the North and East are likely to curtail ship ments to those sections for time. There is little tendency to speculats in any direction, and whatever is being done of this character is be- ing conducted on a conservative basis. Manufacturing interests in the South are in a good condition, and apart from the iron trade, fac tories are we'll supplied with work and making full time.-Baltimore Manufacturer Record.

All the markets have felt the ef- feet of the tremendous floods and great loss of property in the West and Southwest. Wheat has ad- yanced ? cents bnshel, corn 4 cts and oats 2 cts. Cotton has risen ] of cent pound and railroad stocks have all declined. The West ern grain markets have been very excited, but now that the floods are subsiding calmer opinions prevail and it is found the damage will not be as great as had been feared.- Philadelphia Inquirer.

The Nicaragua Canal Convention.

The National convention to be held in St. Louis on June Sd will be of more than common import ance, as advocating and emphasiz- ing the necessity of the American control of the Nicaragua Canal. The construction of this waterway is not only of importance to the de- velopment of American trade, but in it's strategical command of Asia tic markets will be equally essen tial to the rapid transport of Euro pean commerce. In this direction it is of more importance than at present it seems, that in the avoid ance of possible international fric- tion and the complications inevita- ble to dividend control, that the title of the United States to it's sov- ereignty be definitely and legally established. The international struggle for possession or suprem- acy in the worlds markets has be- gun, ard while its causes are by no means abnormal to the situation, the old spirit of commercial rivalry and jealousy is not likely to be ex- ercised either by reason, justice or the gospel, and while the industrial necessities of civilized nations are making international harmony ln- dispensable, the old pugnacity, if temporarily cornered, is by no means extinct. It may hide it's arm ored paw in velvety treaties and un- der the ermine of legal rights, but so long as individual and National selfshness exists, 1t is bounden duty to aviod a conhagration by keeping the matches out ot the straw. As directly affecting Amer ican commerce, the Nicaragua Canal will bring the Pacific Slope 10000 miles nearer to it's Atlantic seaports, while by opening the Gulf and the Mississippi into the Pacific, will outline the future deployment of markets for the mines and min erals of the Gulf States. Along these lines the manufactures and com merce of the Atlantic seaboard and the Mississippi Valley will conse- quently travel to the markets of the North and South American conti- nents, and the yet uncontested fields in all foreign countries access sible via the Pacific. With these possibilities clearly defined, it places the construction and compile ton of the Nicaragua Canal in the domain of National statesmanship and the right of control.-St. Louis Age of Steel.

"The specific bacillus was found during all stages of the dis ease, but the greatest number ap- peared when the febrile process was over. To prove the existence and development of the bacilli cultures were made in the usual manner The size of the micro organisms is said to differ, sometimes being about one-half of the diameter of a blood corpuscle, and at other times resembling doubled micrococci They were detected in fourteen con secutive eases of mea9les."

Another New Atlantic Cable.

In the early part of this month !; British steamer left London freight ed with a great ocean cable that Ii to be laid in the Atlantic between Africa and Brazil. The cable if 2,165 miles in length and 4,946 tons in weight, and is superior in seve, ral respects to any other submarine cable. It is to be laid during the present summer, and will be Tn working order in July. It will ex- tend from Port St. Louis near the mouth of the Senegal in Western Africa, to Pernambuco, on the east ern coast of Brazil, touching at the island of Fernando de Noronha be- fore it reaches the mainland of South America. In Africa 1t will connect with lines running north ward, as far as England and other European countries. In Brazil It will connect with the cable lines be- tween Pernambuco and Santos, where it will be in communication with the land and water lines run hing to many other parts of South America.
 This new and important enter prise of the South American Cable Company will undoubtedly be ser viceable in promoting the extension of commerce between Europe and South America. It will be used al most wholly for commercial pur- poses. Its promoters are shrewd and far sighted capitalists. The remarkable growth of railroads within the last few years, largely built by British capital, in Brazil and other South American coun tries, has opened up to trade vast regions that furnish products need ed in Europe and that offer profit able markets for European goods The new African-Brazilian cable if the property of British telegraph company. It is of British construc ton, and the work of laying 1t or the bed of the ocean will be done by the British cable layers who arc now aboard the British steamship Silvertown. We ought to have { direct American cable between the United States and Brazil. The es tablishment of such a line woulC assuredly be advantageous to Amer lcan trade with Brazil and othe1 South American countries. w. take the produce of these countries and we ought to find in them bet ter market than we have yet found for our manufactures s-New Yorl Sun.
