The cultivation OF the thin shell pecan
has, according to the New York Post,
become one of tho most profitable in
dustries Of Texas. The tree begins to
bear nuts when six years old; at eight
it more than pays all expenses of grow
ing, and at ten yields a handsome profit.
The demand in the market is much
greater than the supply. The following
glittering prospect is held out to the
farmer bya pecan-grower Of experience:
ssFifty acres in pecans will, when ten
years old, bring him an incone equal 10
i bank with d capital Of $500, 900 eara-
ing ten per cent. Ia California, fruit
lands sell 1T 1890 to $500 PSF acre. at
thess prices the value will be earae1 in
Eve years In six years they earn ten per
cent. on d valuation DIT $4,000 to 5000
Der acre, and in ten years ten per cent.
.on d valuation of $40, 900 per acre. When
I say the pecan exceeds these figures
largely. | ain only saying what others
who have Investigated tbs profits ID

nut is 4 favorlte everywhere. Nofear Of

G. G. Leland told the recent Folk
Lore Congress in London that he
had interviewed at least a hundred old
gypsy fortune-tellers, and had discoy-
cred that they knew nothing whatever
about the art of palmistry. He said they
learned by long experience to DO shrcwd
judges of character, and that while pre-
landing to look at hands they were in
reality inspecting faces to find out the
characteristics of people. Many a gypsy,
he said, who has acquired fame as q for
tune teller is merely a good reader OF
physiognomy.

An elaborate stone roadway has been
unearthed in Illinois, and it has been
suggested that it may have been built by
the Aztecs before they were driven out
OF that region by the Indians. As it is
largely composed Of cobblestones, OBJ
serves the Philadelphia Record, those
municipalities which favor that style of
road construction to-day have at least
antiquity to fall back upon as an excuse
for continuing the present system.

IN the death of Mrs. Harrison, the President, has lost an affection ate and devoted wife; her children a loving mother; the Republic one of it's most noted, loyal, gifted and noble women, and the world, one of the grandest characters among her sex. Mrs. Harrison has gone to her grave honored, beloved and mourned by all. Her husband, family, friends, the American Nation and the Christian World, have met with a loss which cannot easily be realized. The President and his family, have the sincere sympathy of not only the Ameri- can people, but that also of every nation, where the noble character of Mrs. Harrison was known.

Poisoned by scrOfuIa

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: Aris- ing from impure and insufficient blood, the disease locates itself in the lymphatics, which are compos- ed of white tissues; there is a period of foetal life when the whole body consists of white tissues, and therefore the unborn child is es- pecially susceptible to this dread full disease. But there is a remedy for scrofula, whether hereditary or acquired. tis Hoods Sarsaparilla, which by its powerful effect on the blood, expelEs all trace of the dis ease and gives to the vital fluid the quality and color of health. If you decide to take Hoods Sarsaparilla do not accept any substitute.

The readers of the SENTINEL will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only posi- tive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a consti- tutional disease, requires constitu- tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon tho blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing it's work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

Col.

 On our editorial page under the caption of "What Mark Smith says he has done for Yuma county" will be found most interesting arti- cle to the voters of this county; show ing up the presumption and false ness of his claims to any such honor. It plainly proves that he should not have the credit for getting the $10,- 900 appropriation for the Yuma levee, and that the success of the bill was due alone to the efforts of Abe Frank and his friends in the us. Senate. It also shows up the manner in which he has treated the people in this county, by using his efforts in having the mail route fromAztec to Harqua Hala, changed to that via Phoenix, which is an outrage.

On the Way to Paradise.

Let. us hope that the people who habitually disregard their health will reach that desirable place, and avoid the locality which is less desirable as an eternal residence on account of the heat and surroundings generally. But while we tarry in this vale of tears, why should we voluntarily endure the tortures of dyspepsia when a systematic use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will rid us of the atrocious malady which-unless physicians are very much at fault-tends to shorten the term of our existence Heartburn, biliousness, constipation almost always accompany this complaint and are symptomatic of it. These are all extinguished by the Bitters, which also conquers completely malaria, rheumatism, nervousness and debelity. Since the appearance of "la grippe" it has shown singular mastery over this formidable complaint that has carried off so many of our brightest and best.
