Professor Mosso, of Turin, has demonstrated the importance of keeping the surface and extremities of the body warm during brain work by clearly proving that when the brain Is active, much more blood is sent to it from the peripheral parts of the body. Professor Mosso has also found that the circulation of the blood Tn the brain is subject to fluctuations which are apparently not dependent on physical activity. Fatigue caused by brain work acts as a poison, which affects allsthe organs, especially the muscular sys- tenn. The blood of dogs fatigued by long racing also acts as poison, and when injected into other dogs makes them exhibit all the symp- toms of fatigue. Sense of fatigue seems to be due to the products of the nerve-cells rather than to the deficiency of proper substance.- Illustrated American.

In all the drouth-stricken region

In all the drouth-stricken region
 of Arizona, no place or locality was
 perhaps so badly in need of rain, from the cattlemens' stand point, as southern Pima sounty, or at least that part of it surrounding Calabasas, if reports from there can be relied on as correct. The Star of Tuesday morning publishes the following letter from that point, dated last Friday. "Mr. Wolfe, who obtained a judgement against T. Lillie Mercer recently, to-day had the deputy sheriff sell Mercer's cat tie in satisfaction thereof Tom Sasenago brought the cattle in, pre- sumably for Wolfe, at S2.35 a head. to have his own choice from the cattle until Ill head are secured, to pay the judgement.
 The ground here is barer than it has ever been before. It does not seem possible for the cattle to live through the winter. The cattle busi- ness will soon be an industry of the past. The cattle now iR the coun- try would not sell for enough money to pay the next 5 years taxes on them" This certainly looks and is discouraging, or did, at that time, but in the Star of Tuesday is an item which says there has been considerable rainfall during thelast three days south and west of Tue son which goes far to relieve the fear of continued drouth and there is now hopes of abundance of pasturage." Editorially in the same issue it says the rain came Tn time to be worth many hundreds of thousands of dollars to southern Arizona, and says the stockmen are joyful. They feel that their day of tribulation is past for this year. It is believed these rains reached the section where cattle were worth but little more than $2 per head at this time last week, and as conse- quence different feeling pervades that district. The rains of early in the week not alone fell in that sec ton of country, but to the east of us, heavy rains feel on Monday night forming lakes almost as far as the eye could see, where previous to the storm was nothing but barren waste, without a spear of grass. and famisbing cattle tramping listlesly over it. The benefit of such rains as this can scarcely be reckoned in dollars and cents.-Willcox Stock man.

The California Academy of Sciences has become the possessor of an unusually sound skeleton of rhachianeetes glaucius, or Cali fornia gray whale. It is forty five feet in length, and has twenty-six ribs, seven feet on the curve, and two great scapul@, resembling broadaxes. The jaws are nine feet in length. The California gray whale has no teeth, but is provided with baleen, or "whalebone," row of bony substances resembling brushes. These sift the water and catch the animalcul@ floating in it, the only food of this class of whales. Indianapolis News.

A company has just been formed in Vienna with the idea of serving charged storage battery cells to the houses in the same way.-in which milk, eand other commodities are served. The wagons for supplying these accummulators make regular trips through the suburbs of Vienna daily, distributing their cells fully charged and taking away others whose energy has been exhausted. In thls system the disadvantages of central-station supply, overhead construction and uncertain meter readings are, of course, done away with New York World.

Currents of water serve to a vast extent the purpose of distributing seeds, says the Boston Globe. Wal nut. butternut and pecan trees are found close to streams, where they drop their nuts into the passing flood, to be carried away and start other groves perhaps hundreds of miles distant. Tree seeds of many sorts are carried by oceanic cur rents.-PhiIadelphia Ledger.

Our sense of superior delicacy is, after all, a tremendous moral SUD- port. Many of us would rather be called criminal than coarse. To be known as unrefned is the pit of moral degradation.

Sheriff Seymour of San Bernar- dino, California, says that the Col lis train robbers were seen at Orc Grande, 45 miles north of San Ber- nardino, going eastward. He thought they were going to join the Daltons in Oklahoma and would cross the Colorado at Ehrenberg. If this is so, here is fine chance for Arizona officials to distinguish themselves. Tucson Star.

California mineraloglsts believe that there is excellent chance of California being a great diamond producing region at some time, Melvin Atwood, one of the discov- erers of the Comstock lode and a noted mineralogist believes that there is great probability of finding in California one or even more of the volcanic pipes containing dia- monds like that at Kimberley, Bult- fontein and other famous diamond districts.

\ Novelty in DuelS.

The details of one of the strang-
 est duels ever fought have been
 brought to this city by prospector
 who has been in the mountains
 southwest of here. says a letter from Las Vegas to the Galveston News. The country is near the border line between Old and New Mexico and the people there are mixture of the two races. Two young men, an American and Mexican, fell out over a young woman they both loved, and the result was that the enmity became too great to be car ried and it was determin ed to end it in a duel.
 The matter came about in an un- usual way, however. and it was not regular challenge and acceptance, but while in company of mutual friends the Mexican taunted the American with being member of race of towards and said the Americans had no bravery. The American, of course, disputed this and said he would test the Mexi- cans bravery if he wished it. He would be willing to go into a dark room with the Mexican and there decide the point. But the stipula- ton was that in the dark room there should also be lot of tarantulas turned loose. If either came out alive he was to have the girl. If either showed the white feather and came out before the death of the other or before all the tarantulas were killed he should give up all claim to the girl. The Mexican was disposed to refuse, but the fear of being looked upon as a coward caused him to accept. The room was prepared and the two men went in. There were at least dozen tar antulas in the room and also two scorpions. The American walked boldly into the room and took his stand, while the Mexican followed, but was hesitating in his manner. The doors had been closed but a short time until the Mexican was heard to scream out that he was bit ten and was dying. The doors were opened and he staggered out and fell to the floor. The American walked out unhurt, and then 1t was found that the Mexican had not been bitten at all, but had scratch ed his hand on a protruding nail in the wall and had thought it a spi- der's bite.

Who'll He Bite!

If there is more genial and affa- ble man than Senator Hill he has not been seen on the New Jersey coast, says a Long Branch core spondent of the New York World. But the twinkle in his eyes behind his glasses, while it was entirely good -natured, said as plainly as if the words had been audibly spoken, "No politics, please"
 A half dozen words released the weather, and out of the silence a smile came to the Senator's face. The reporter then said ewould like to ask the Senator a single ques- ton.
 The Senator said the request re- minded him of a story. A genuine Yankee came into New York State many years ago peddling tinware. He met man with one leg and the stump of another. The peddler's curiosity was aroused at once. He determined to know how that man lost his leg, and after scraping an acquaintance said, pointing at the ,.o o,Do,oo,t o f n 1;p111
 "Been in the war;"
 The one-legged man was sensitive and reticent. His reply was sim ply:
 "No."
 The Yankee then began to talk trade, but the lost leg was upper most in his mind. Presently he said:
 "Mebbe you lost it in sawmill?"
 "NoP was again the answer.
 The peddler talked trade again, all the time keeping his eye on the remainder of another leg. At last he said:
 "I'd just like to ask you one question:"
 "Only one?" said the man with the crutchcs.
 "Just bare .one."
 "Well, go ahead"
 "How did you lose your leg?"
 "It was bit offr'
 The discontinue of the Yankee and the moral of the story were ob vious, and so was General Earle's carriage, which at that moment drove up. The Senator got into 1t and drove away in the gloaming with that same twinkle in his eye ard the two unchangeable dents in the crown of his gray slouch hat.

Attention has lately been direct ed by scientific writers to the fact that the shapes of permanent hills are altered, sometimes to a consid- erable extent, by the blowing of the wind against them, this being espe- cially true in those cases where the hills are partly composed of some form of rock that readily disinte- grates under the influence of the weather, ,thatis, the crumblingroc is blown away, leaving the more solid rocks behind, and often in curious forms. It is we'll known that the fa- nous sirocco, or the southeasterly wind, that blows across the Mediter- raneanSea from Africa, has been largely influential in shaping and molding hills and valleys. Itis assert ed, too, that an extensive bay on the east coast of the island of Malta owes it's origin and extent to the agency of the sirocco, which blows directly into it. Therapid changes from dampness to dryness. charac- teristic of the sirocco, and the cry talization of the salt it deposits upon the rocks, are reckoned among the power of destruction possessed by this wind.-New York Sun.

As to Honest Money.

The RepuDllcan press Is ehIlIel1 consistent with it's record in oppo' sition to the Democratic declara' ton in favor of the repeal ot the National tax on the issue of State banks. From it's inception it has been the friend of the capitalist and the enemy of the people. From the beginning of it's tariff legisla- tion, it's public land legislation and it's financial legislation, it has been engaged in taking money from the pockets of the people and putting it into the pockets of bondholders and money sharks. Under the spe- cious plea of honest money it has fattened the moneyed aristocracy to the utmost, and it still responds to their calls for more.
 Under the pretense of strength ening the public credit, mostly af- ter the war was over and the pub- lie credit was taking all necessary cafe Q. itself, it increased the pub lie debt of the country over $800,- 100000 by changing the original contract and virtually donating the profits to the bondholders. Under the plea of honest money, it open ed the reconciliation of silver, which it had accomplished by stealth and treachery. Under the plea of honest money, it forced on the country the resumption of spe- cie payments in such way as to bankrupt the majority of the debtor class. Under the plea of honest money, it again demonetized silver, and by hostile legislation deprived it of a very large portion of it's former intrinsic value. It has in every way pressed forward the cap italistic effort to make gold the sim gle standard of value and to de- crease the circulating medium to the lowest possible am ount, thereby increasing the interest drawing pow CT of money and decreasing the price of commodities.
 It is, therefore, eminently consis- tent for it to oppose giving back to the States the power to remedy the deficiency of circulating medium which was unconstitutionally taken from them as a war measure for the purpose of stimulating the value of the greenback currency. The talk about "wild-cat currency" is the veriest nonsense. The condition of the country with its unparalleled means for transportation and com  lnunication makes such thing i'm possible, even if public sentiment anywhere would permit it. No f. naEcier of any intelligence has the slight apprehension of any such thing occurring. It is merely an other effort to divert public atten- ton from a newly proposed mode to wrest tine hands of the capital ists from the throats of the people ito break the hold which they have obtained through the National Government.-Indlnapolis Sentinel

Shot a MOnStrOuS Bear.

Last Monday morning when G. W. Ross was coming down to Brandy road from his claim he was within half mile of Birdsview when he heard a noise in the brush he had just passed. Turning he saw the brown nose of a monstrous black bear peering out from a dense thicket of underbrush. It might be hard to tell which of the two was most startled. The bear numbered out into the road and took the back track as hastily as his clumsy legs would carry him, while Mr. Ross brought his Winchester to his shoulder, took deliberate aim and brought bruin to a sudden halt. The bullet pierced the vitals of the animal and killed him almost in- stantly. It was but short distance  to T. w. Wilson's residence, and it was there MT. Ross repaired for help to gather iii his game It was all two strong men could do to raise the bear into the wagon. The weight of the animal is not known, bu! it is said to be the largest bear that has been killed in the Skagit valiey.-Hamilton Wash. Herald. In certain affections of the throat, such as acute pharyngitis, catarrh of the eustac chian tube, with pain in the ear; Swiss confrere says that he obtains excellent results from making the patient yawn several times a day. It produces, it seems, almost instantaneous relief; the symptoms rapidly subside and the earache disappears. Frequently the affection is cut short by this novel treatment, Yawning produces, as everyone knows, a considerable dis tention of the muscles of the pha- rynx, constituting kind of mas- sage, and under this influence the cartilaginous portion of the Eusta- chian tube contracts, expelling into the pharynx the mucosities there collected. According to NJ. Naegeli, yawning is much more eHicacious for affection of the tube than the methods of Valsalva or Politzer, and is more rational than the in- suflation of air, which is often diff cult to perform properly.-Medical Record.
