Drought in Texas.

San Antonio, Tex, July 1st. A
letter from Lasalle county, eighty
miles southwest Of San Antonio en-
the Arkansas, International &
Great Northern railway, gives pie
ture of the drought and desolation
in that section In three years it
has not ralned drop. The prairies,
once carpeted with rich grasses, are
now as bare as billiard table. The
streams have gone dry and there is no
water anywhere
AS far as the eye can reach there
is not spot of green. The sun, re
1ected from the white earth, makes
the glare and heat almost unbearable.
Deer, turkeys and other wild ami
mails have left the region. Even the
familiar jack rabbit has disappeared
All the cattle and sheep have been
sold and shipped into other
States.
Many of the Mexicans are cow
boys and soldiers. They have no
means of subsistence. Some of them
have tried to farm, but the seed
sown two years ago remains un-
sprouted in the ground. From
Lasalle county alone $4,000 head of
sheep have been removed.
The citizens have appealed to Gov
ernor Hogg to furnish the starving
Mexicans transportation TO the cotton
districts, where they may find work.
An earnest call for food has been
issued.

THE BEST WAY TO DIE,
A Scientific Writer Claims That tn
Easiest Is by Fall.

Most people regard death by fall
as one of the most agonizing forms of
dying. This opinion is erroneous. The
subjective feelings in the various kinds
of fall are the same. There are people
who have escaped death by a hairs
breadth who reached the stage of un-
consciousness and who are able to re-
port what they felt. A scientific gentle
man who has occupied himself with
this interesting question for many
years bases his observations on per-
sonal experience, and on a large num-
ber of cases which have occurred, not
only in the mountains, but also in war,
in industrial establishments and in
railway accidents. The victim suffers
no pain, no paralyzing terror He is
perfectly aware of what is going on.
The time seems long to him. In a few
seconds he is able to think so much
that he can report for an entire hour
on it. His thinking power is immense
ly increased. In almost all cases the
past seems suddenly lighted up, as if
by flash of lightning. All phases of
life pass before the minds eye, nothing
petty or unimportant disturbing the
retrospect. Then gentle. soft tones
sound in ones ears. and die away at
last when unconsoiousness sets in. One
hears the fall of the body, but does not
feel it!
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Whymper, who had a severe success
sion of falls once in the Alps, without
losing his consciousness, declares en-
phatically that as he bounded from one
rock to another he felt absolutely no
pain. Dra6e's Magdzjpe declares that
same thing happens on the battle
| field; She entrance of the bullet into
the body is not felt, and 1T is not till
he feels the blood flowing or a limb
paralyzed that the soldier knows he is
wounded. Persons who have had
several limbs broken by fall do not
known which limbs are affected till
| they try to rise. At the moment of a
fall the whole intellectual activity is
| increased to an extraordinary degree,
| There is not trace of anxiety. One
considers quickly what will happen.
This is by no means the consequence
of presence of mind, " it is rather the
product of absolute necessity. A
solemn composure takes possession OF
the victim. Death by fall is a beauti.
full one. Great thoughts fill the victims
soul; they fall painlessly into a great
blue sky.

How Mutes Make Love.

A gentleman who enjoys wide ac-
quaintance among the deaf of Phila-
delphia told Record reporter that the
courtship of pair of mutes was one
of the most singular things on rec
ord, Il know young man who is
now deep in the tolls of fair and
speechless girl" he said, "and he has
taken me into his confidence. He is
perfectly happy in his infirmity, for
from conversations held with ordinary
lovers he has come to the conclusion
that silence, after all, is the best form
for lovers. During the progress of his
affair de eeur he experienced but one
difficulty. and that in short time he
surmounted. The thorn that Law in
his bed of roses was gas jet, which,
as he, of course, conversed with his
adored one in the sign language, it was
always necessary to keep ablaze-a
woefully embarrassing thing for low
ers. Finally they discovered that, like
Laura Bridgman, they could utilize the
sense of touch in deciphering their
sign language. By holding one an
others hands they found that they
could carry on a conversation with toll
erable facility, and in about week
were adopts. Thus deaf, dumb and
practically blind, they enjoyed all the
pleasure of love. They have spread
their discovery among their friends
and | believe that the idea has taken
fast hold upon deaf lovers and has be-
come quite fad. !"

A Region Where Life Lasts Long.

II observe that when man dies in
this country at the age of 100 years, or
thereabouts, the papers elaborate on
the occurrence in their news columns
as if it were something wonderful"
said Ramon Casanova of Guadalajara,
Mex. 81 know a score or more of peo-
pie in Mexico considerably more than
100 years old, and who give promise
of living many years yet. There is a
limited area in the state of Tamau-
lipus, whose climate, water and gem
eral condition seem especially to in
duce longevity. l visited the neigh
borhood a few months since and saw
five generations of one name living in
the same house. The eldest male was
said to be 1872 years old. He is shriv-
eled and weazened, blind and almost
dumb, but in other respects all of his
vital functions appear to be strong
and normal. There are perhaps fifty
people in the neighborhood whose lives
have spanned century. They are a
pastoral people of Spanish and Aztec
blood, and for generations have inter
married contrary to all the accepted
laws of consanguinity. Their consti-
tutions are not particularly robust,
and none of them is over feet 6
inches tall. They are cut off from the
rest of the world, and are ignorant as
to the great population of the globe,
nor do they seem to have the slightest
conception as to the mode of life of
other people. They live in the most
! primitive way, and perhaps it is this
absence of the tremendous pressure of
modern civilization that largely con-
duces to their marvellous longevity. -

UPsETTlNc A FAMOUS THEORY.
FOSSILS Show That the Oxus Never Joined
the Caspian.

Between the Aral and the Caspian
Seas is a deep, dry, narrow depression,
which has long been supposed to have
been once the bed of a river. There
have been many speculations as to the
origin and history of this stream, and
the view has been held for years that
the famous Oxus River, which now
flows into the Aral Sea, in former
era found its way to the Caspian. and
that this dry channel, known as the
Usboi or old channel of the Oxus,
marks the course the river followed in
its way across the desert hundreds of
miles further west than its present
mouth in the Aral Sea.
There has been much talk within
four or five years of digging a channel
between the Oxus River and this old
river bed, and thus diverting the OXus
from the Aral to the Caspian. 1t was
thought navigation could thus be Sc
cured from the Caspian for many hum
dreds of miles up the Oxus.
This enterprise has been abandoned,
for it has been found that for great
many miles there is no sign whatever
of the old river channel; and now a
Russian scientific man named Kon-
shine, who has passed five years on
the wide plain between the Aral and
the Caspian, has reached the conclu-
sion that the Oxus never flowed along
this channel to the Caspian. He relies
chiefly on the geological data that have
been brought to light by recent invest
igations.
These data. he says, afford ample ev-
idence that the Sary-Kamysh Lake,
southwest of the Aral Sea, was within
recent geological times vast river
delta completely separated from the
Caspian basin by ridge of higher
| land. The mollusks found in the
region of this Sary-Kamysh Lake are
similar to existing forms in the Aral
Sea, while in the Usboi the organisms
are almost identical with those found
in the salt Caspian Sea at the present
day. As further evidence he gives the
results of borings along the course o1
the Usbot. These borings penetrated
nothing but clays and sands contain.
| ing salt water or marine shells
while similar borings in the sary-Ka
mysh beds show plenty of fresh-watel
deposits. Thus geological investiga
tions have been called into service tt
show that the theory that the Oxu!
once joined the Caspian through Usbo
Channel is untenable,
Mr., Konshine believes that the Usbo
Channel was at one time part of
great gulf of the Caspian Sea, th'
steep banks of the Usboi marking tn
deep-water channel.

Birds in Tiers.

Three tiers of brilliantly colored lit
tie birds was one of the many pretty
sights / often saw in the bird-market
in Paris. To tighten his burden, the
owner of these pretty songsters had
placed a great many of them into one
large cage. The cage had but sim
gle perch-a long one, to be sure, yet
at best it could hold only one-third of
the birds. AS you may suppose, all
places on this perch were always in
great demand, and usually its whole
length was fully occupied by the tiny
warblers, crowded together in jolly
companionship. Flying about the
cage in all directions were those not
fortunate enough to secure "seats,
and their antics in endeavoring to find
resting place were very pretty and
clever. Alighting on the seated ones,
they would wedge their tiny feet be-
tween two of them in an attempt to
reach the perch; and sometimes they
succeeded; but more often second
tier of birds was started by the new
corners coolly getting upon the backs
of the first. A slight disturbance of
the center of gravity, however, and
all would come tum bling down. Then
there would be great commotion and a
perfect medley of color, as the birds
rushed again, pell-mell, for the COW
eted places. Presently quiet would be
restored, and the two tiers of birds
again successfully completed.
| But there were still others flying
about, or hopping around on the bot
tom of the cage, who also expected to
get resting-places. To perch on top of
the second tier was indeed a very
pretty and very difficult perform
ance, as there was considerable wob-
bling in the lower tiers, even at the
lightest touch of a lowering bird.
Finally, with dainty wings and feet
outstretched in slow descent, bright
little acrobat would start>~the third
tier But alas! the next bird might
prove careless little fellow, and would
| upset them all.
However, in spite of accidents and
carelessness, the third tier was often
finished, and sometimes it lasted even
several minutes before it was demol-
ished. But when the pyramid was
completed, usually some hungry little
chap in the first story, spying dainty
morsel lying on the bottom of the
cage, wouldswithdraw his support, to
the disaster and confusion of the
crowd.
Thus it went on, all day long-in-
cessant change of place and form and
color. Happily through it all the lit
tie acrobats were as merry as birds
could be, pouring out their liquid
music into the golden sunshine, joy
ously twisting and shaking their
bright little heads. The grand music
of old Notre Dame Cathedral, close by,
was not more charming than that OF
this pretty feathery choir singing un-
der the kind inspiration of a soft June
sky.-Meredith N1ge,st, IN st. Nicholas

THE HIGHEST INHABITED SPOT.
Muscopata, Mining Camp in the Andes,
Claims That Distinction.

Until within the last few years the
highest inhabited place in the world
has been credited to Thibet, where
people dwell at an altitude of 1871
feet above the sea level. This is about
the summit of Mont Blanc, the highest
mountain in Europe.
South America then came to the
front with it's claim. La Paz, Bolivia's s
capital, is 1926 feet above the sea
level, and Potosi, in the same country,
is 1000 feet higher. Pasco, Peru,
which has an altitude of $4,000 feet
was considered the highest inhabited
spot in South America.
The village of Galera, also in Peru,
was shown, however, to be Is, 635 feet
above the sea, and it has, until within
few weeks, boasted that its altitude
exceeded that of any other dwelling
place in the world.
1t can no longer make this boast, for
word has just been received in this
city, says the N. Y. Herald, that Mr..
Arthur E. Pearce, an engineer who
has been prospecting and making
meteorological observations in the
Andes, has come across two mining
camps which are even higher than
Galera.
They are named Vicharrayal and
Muscapata, the former $3.50 feet
above sea level and the latter IS, 15S-
Each camp has population of about
200 miners the year round,
Galera owes its existence to the
Galera tunnel of the Parana and Oroya
railroad of Peru, which pierces the
| mountain at that point which is the
summit of the road.
This railroad, however, is to be sur.
passed by narrow-gauge road, which
is now being built to connect with il
and which will reach an altitude OF
1880 feet at its highest point.
Near Galera there are five mining
camps, all the property of one com.
pany and connected by telegraph line:
which are said to be the highest in the
world. These lines pass over two
SUBMITS of more than 1900 feet, anC
the mean height of the lines is more
than 10000 feet.

Yankee Thrift.

The Maine man who can not turn his
hand to another source of profit when
one fails him is a scarce article. An
engraver and carver of old-time re-
pute, in the palmy days of Maine ship
building, now resident of Kittery,
finding his occupation gone as sculp-
tor of figure-heads for vessels, is en-
gagged in making idols and craven i'm
ages for the heathen! He has a large
order that will employ most of his time
for over two years, from missionary
just returned from central Asia to this
country. This missionary, by the way,
is evidently something of a Yankee
himself. .-Kenmebec JouYmal.
