80 Blood

Impure or vitiated blood is nine times out OF
ten caused by some form of constipation or in
digestion that clogs up the system, when the
blood naturally becomes impregnnted with the
efIete matter. The old Sarsaparillas attempt to
reach this condition by attacking the blood with
the drastic mineral potash" The potash theory
is old and obsolete. Joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla
is modern. It goes to the seat of the trouble. It
srouses the liver, kidneys and bowels to health
full action, and invigorates the circulation, and
the impurities are quickly carried off through
the natural channels. Chas. Lee, at Beamish's
Third and Market streets, s. T., writes: 81 took

FRENCH FEMALE cONvICTs.
Ey Marrying feIow-Convicts They Can
t-Scape Confiuemsut in Prison.

Escape Con finemsn in Prison.
French female prisoners and con
yicts are treated with more kind
cess, on the whole, than persons of
their class in England, says the Bos-
ton Courier. The matrons and ward
resses are Augustine nuns. whose
rule, though firm, is gentler, more
merciful, and more steadfastly equit-
able than that of lay-women co Id
be. The female convicts are allowed
the same privilege as the men in the
matter OF earning money and buying
things at the canteen. Those of
them who are young also enjoy a
privilege not granted to female con-
victs in other c0untries-that of hay-
ing husbands provided for them by
the State-only these husbands must
be of conyicts. Every six months
notice is circulated in the female
pcnitentiaries calling upon all women
who feel minded to 90 out to New
Caledonia and be married to make an
application to that effect through the
Governor Elderly women are always
very prompt in making such applica-
tions, but they are not entertained
The matrimonial candidates must be
young and exempt from physical in
firmities. Girls under long sentences
readily catch at this method of escap-
ing from the intolerable tedium of
prison life and the pretty ones are
certain to he put on the Governors
list, no matter how frIghtful may be
the crimes for which they have been
sentenced. The only moral qualiiica-
ton requisite is to have passed at
least two years in the penitentiary
The selected candidates have to Sign
engagements promising to marry CON
victs and to settle in New Caledonia
for the remainder OF their lives. On
these conditions the Government
transports them, gives them decent
outfit, and ticket-of-l leave when they
land at Noumea Their marriages
are so arranged for them by the Gov

the Governor can assent to marriage

TERHAPS the most impressive Illus
tration of what irrigation can do for an
arid country is found in the Pecos Val
ley, which lies partly in New Mexico and
partly in Texas. Tho Pecos, a tributary
Of the Rio Grande, rises in the Glorietta
range of the Raten Mountains, and its
channel has an inexhaustible supply of
of wa or. The banks of the river have
always been famous for fertility, but its
generous volume of water was wasted on
the early settlers, 1t remained for
capitalists with scientific methods Of
irrigation to make proper use of the
river. To-day water is ing supplied
to 100000 acres of land, where a few
years agoa blade of grass would scarcely
grow, The dam above Eddy, n. NJ. in
which the spring freshets and the cloud
bursts of the heated term are collected,
is / 200 feet in length, LIS feet at its
base, and, rising thirty feet above bed
rock, holds more than one thousand
million cubic feet Of water. From this
reservoir canals are carried on each side
of the river, about fourteen miles apart,
and are reinforced by five subsidiary re-
servoirs. All crops that are common to
Southern California, except the citrous
fruits, can be raised on this land, and it
has the advantage of being two days
nearer the Eastern markets. The clim-
ate is salubrious in the extreme, the
thermometer rarely falling below 81 de-
grees although the valley is $500 feet
above sea leyel-or rising to 100. Col
onies of Swiss are establishing them
selres on the reclaimed lands, which they
are rapidly transforming into vineyards
gardens, and truck farms.
