The Oldest Mathematical Treatise.

The oldest mathematical book in the
world, says All the World Round, is be-
lieved to be the "Papyrus Rhind" in the
British museum, professed to have been
written by Ahmes, scribe of King Ra-a-us
about the period between 2,0O0 and 100
B. c. This ''Papyrus Rhind" was trans
lated by Eisenlohr, of Leipsic, a few years
ago, and it was found to contain u rule for
making a square equal in area to given
circle. 1t was not put forth as an original
discovery, but as the transcript of trea
tise 500 years older still, which sends us back
to, approximately, $3.50 b. c., when Egyp-
tian mathematicians solved, or thought
they solved, the problem of squsring the
circle.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-Here at the
capital we don't talk of much save the
coming presidential election. We have
80 many candidates right here under
our eyes that we naturally find ourselves
dissecting them. We carve up their
mental parts, place their characters
under microscope and put newspaper
detectives on their past. They are an
| interesting lot of men, these presiden-
/ tial possibilities There is General Har-
rison, the man of the White House.
| We don't hear as much of him as we
did year or two ago. Then he was
! new and fresh; now he is an old story.
President Harrison is not a man of
whom much gossip is tittle-tattled.
There is not much color in him. His
daily life is as commonplace as that Of
any private citizen. He neither makes
| brilliant remarks nor does queer things.
We used to have gossip about Grant and
Arthur and even Hayes. But Harrison
runs along on the dead level Of plainness
and evenness. 1t is not the common
place, however
Here in Washington we have all
neutrality-suspicious., Democrats, Farm
ers' Alliance and Muswumps-that Gen
erGl Harrison IS n remarkable man. He
has the most acute powers Of mental
analysis seen in the White House since
Lincoln. He reads men as well as
things. His lawyers habit of taking up
any given case, stsdying it in principle
and detail, uncovering the secrets and
sophistries in which it is enveloped,
stands him in good stead now. Witness
his messages to congress, his diplomatic
papers in the Gillian and Behring sea
matters. There are some things about
Harrison which even his friends don't
like, and he has qualities which even
his political enemies greatly admire.
Probably the candidate most talked
about just now is Senator Hill. We are
just beginning to know him in Wash
ington. The governor rather startled US
when he came down here. His frank
discussion Of his chances to be president,
his talk Of the means and the methods
by which he hoped to win the nomina-
ton, was something new here, where

Smith and bis wife have every luxury that money can buy, but there is one thing lacking to their happiness. Both are fond of children, but no little voices prattle, no little feet batter in their beautiful home. "I would give ten years of my life if I could have one healthy, living, child of my own," Smith often says to himself. No woman can be the mother of healthy offspring un- less she herself is in good health. If she suffers from female weakness, general debility, bearing-down pains and func- tional Arrangements, her physical con- dition is such that she cannot hope to have healthy children.

THAT Yuma county is destined to experience a gigantic boom, and a lasting one, within the next two years, every person that knows aught of its wonderful opportunities will readily believe. The construction of the proposed irrigating canal from the junction of the Gila and Colorado rivers through the town of Yuma to the large tracts of rich land below, will bring under cultivation fully one hundred thousand acres of land that will yield returns of fabulous value when cultivated. It is the natural home of the citrus fruits and the grape, and indeed fruits of all kinds flourish in the highest state of perfec- tion. The fact that its season is fully six weeks ahead of the most ad- vanced portions of California's fruit belt, and the facilities for quick trans portatlon either east or west, give to it the special advantages to be de rived from the control of the early market, when the prices are high. For six weeks in early summer will Yuma be able to monopolize the market for fresh grapes, apricots, peaches, plums and kindred varieties of fruits, while oranges and bananas will mature at all seasons of the year. Vegetables and garden produce and all the small fruits can be marketed during every month of the year, and the farmer and orchardi8t will enjoy perpetual income of handsome proportions. It will require only knowledge of the these advantages to create such de- mand for lands in that vicinity that
 prices will run up far above those now prevailing in Southern California. The old settlers of Southern Arizona hav9 long known the value in which that section would eventually be held, although they have lacked the enter p,ise to push the reclamation of its lands. Now the matter has taken practical shape and it is only a ques- tion of the time necessary to construct
 the great canal. The water supply is enormous and cannot be exhausted, and it's diversion to the purposes ir- tended was evidently design of the Great Hand that shaped the contour

THE lands between the Colorado and Santa Cruz Rivers, in Arizona, are perhaps the richest and most pro ductive of any in the United States. In this arid country the greatest thing is water. A number of irri- gating canals are completed and pay ing handsome dividends. The supply of water IS obtained from the Colo rado and Gila rivers. Over 100 miles of canals are now built, and as maRy more under contract and build ing, Fully a half million acres of desert land are filed upon in the Salt river and Giia river valleys waiting the construction of proposed canals so that water can be obtained for agricultural and horticultural pur- poses. All fruits of Southern Cali fornia and Florida grow to perfection Small grains and alfalfa yield i'm mense crops, the latter six crops a year. The raw lands are worth from the government SI.25 per acre. A perpetual water right under a canal is worth $l5 to $50 per acre, and the annual water rent or assessment per acre is SI.5O to s. The land will yield twelve tons of alfalfa year at SS, equals $50, and barley about 2,OOO pounds at $l per 100, equals S2O.

THE CELIA VALLEY.

The Gila valley extends from the Gila canon, near the junction of the San Pedro river, westerly to the east bank of the Colorado, a distance slightly exceeding 250 miles. That portion of it situated in the county of Yuma, known as the "Lower Glla Valley" is about one hundred miles long by from two to ten miles wIde' all of which is susceptible of profitable cultivation. The river which 1t ta ks S it's name cuts the valley in two Its watershed extends some thirty miles north, and upwards of fifty miles south of its channel, the land from either extreme inclining more or less rapidly towards the stream. The Gila traverses a marvelously fertile country very great in extent, and splendidly adapted to the cultivation of nearly all the products ot the temperate and semi tropic zones, be- sides many of the fruits common in the tropics. Nor is this longer a matter of idle speculation; for flour ishing ranches in various portions of the valley, and drawing water from several important canals, amply dem onsttate the magnificent results that will ensue should the water supply be rendered permanent, equable and adequate, through appropriate storage systems.
