The latest talk among the railroad
boys, says Glenwood's daily, is TO the
effect that the Rio Grande Western has
been sold to the Colorado Midland and
that the transfer viii take place the
first of the year. The Colorado Midland
will build on west TO the coast from
Ogden.
The Meeker herald. [volume] (Meeker, Colo.) 1885-current, 1892-12-03

Should the Rio Grande build that
much-talked-of railroad from Rifle to
Meeker, how things would hum for
awhile! IT would mean the establish
ment of round houses at this place, and
in many other ways increase business.

The Politician as an Actor.

There are multitudinous small things
which, as little man, one would suppose
must press heavily upon an eminent poll
tician. He must be civil to all men-civ
iler perhaps to the fools than to any. The
fools he has always with him-always.
The eminent poiitlcian must serve the
especial butt to vast and wonderful array
of bores. How he must despise the large
majority of his SO called followers! With
what scorn he must regard them in his
hearth And yet how he has to go out of
his way to solicit the favor of their vote
and interest! How he has sometimes to
palter with lie-he must have! How he
must be all things to all men!
He is an actor as much as any actor that
ever trod the mimic stage, and be he sick
or sad he has to give satisfaction to the
audience in front, if he would keep his
situation. He has to struggle and strive
to keep in his hands the ends of fifty diff
ferent strings which are being pulled in
fifty different directions, and preserve his
balance and his head amid them ALL
And What is the end of it? What is the
reward Of the eminent politician? 1t is
when one considers this question that one
is amazed to think that any man should
think it worth his while to pay the penal
ties of political greatness.-All the Year

HUNGRY TRAVELLERS.
An Odd Experience on a Lofty Plateau

An Cdd Experience on Lofty Plateau

Pedestrians less hungry than Hector
France and his friend might have been in

| man whom they found sitting in front OF
| his solitary house ON a lofty plateau in the

serve he showed no surprise at seeing
them, and refused to sell or give them food
and lodging. His wife Joined him, and
said that if the strangers did not stay to
talk, but went right on, they would reach
an inn before dark.
But this Spanish reserve was not SO i'm
penetrable as it seemed, as the travellers
soon discovered. They saw, too, that some
degree of indifference might nationally be
expected of persons who could cheerfully
live so remote from the world.

The senorita examined his face and ex.

The Use of the Right Foot.

That the right foot is like the right
hand, ordinarily more mobile and at the
same time stronger than the left might be
attributed to the more frequent eXertion
of this side, were it not that the peculiar
ity is said to extend itself even to the con-
stitution, and the left eXtremities are as
serted to be more liable to disease than the
right. The more difficult movements ia
stage dancing are usually executed upon
the right foot, and it is generally consid.
cred that unless double practice be accord
ed to the left leg an ungraceful preference
for the right will be shown by the dancers
in their public performances.
Most people tread more firmly with the
right than with the left foot. There seems
70 be greater capacity for propelling the
body with the right foot; from this the
horseman springs, with his left in the
stirrup, and unless left handed no boy In
his play hops naturally upon the left foot.

Books Saved from the Fire.

1t has been thought, or rather, more cor
rectly speaking, only fondly hoped, by the
learned men throughout Christendom
that among the rubbishy chronicles of the
Kairouin there would some day be found
the missing classics, the lost books of
Euclid and of Livy, among others. Indeed
in some of the more ancient books of travel
on Morocco it is expressly stated that many
of the manuscripts that were saved from
the burning of the Alexandrian library
were taken to Seville, Granada and Fez.
In weighing these statements think it
should be remembered that the Kairouin
was founded at the very least 100 years
after the fire that was so disastrous to
learning, and that these manuscripts
would have had lot of knocking about
before they found a home on the shelves
in the subterranean cellars of the Kairouin
think it possible that on leaving Seville
and Granada the Moors may have brought
with them to Morocco many of the precious
volumes which are known to have been in
these libraries, but which have now dis
appeared. Fortnightly Review.

The English Pilgrimage to Rome.

1t has been determined that the Eng
lish pilgrimage to Rome shall start from
London on Tuesday, Feb. IA, and arrive
in Rome on the following Friday. The
pilgrims will OILY make brief stay in
the Eternal City, and will be back in
London on Friday, March 8. Very fa-
vorable terms of transit have been ar
ranged, and it is expected that there will
be a large company. The Duke of Nor
folk is taking an active part in the ar

the Round Table were making war on the

that Knights on either side would fight in

for many years, the scourge the dreaded
invaders of Europe, and oil waged war
against this common enemy.
But in these days the worst scourge that

The bronzy cutworm is quite subject
to attacks of natural (such as birds)
and parasitic enemies Much more eff
fective than these, however, is bac-
terial disease. This is micrococcus
which Prof Forbes has for some time
been studying, but which is not yet
named We have been familiar with it
for many years. but we believe that
public attention was first called to it
by Prof. Osborn, in June, 1881. He
then stated that the diseased worms
would be found clinging to the stems
as high up as they could reach, their
bodies swollen to an unnatural size,
and in the later stages exceedingly soft
and ready to fall to pieces. This dis
ease has been noticed by us almost
every year since, but was particularly
prevalent in the summer of 1887, when,
on trip through Indiana and Ohio and
to the east, it was every w here noticed.
Twas an extremely di fficult, not to
say impossible thing in fact, to find a
healthy worm The hiding by-day in
stinct seems entirely abse mt with the
sick worms, which crawl laboriously
up the stalks of grass and there station
themselves, as described by Prof. Os-
born, to die and eventually to shrivel
up into unrecognizable objects. The
bronzy cutworm is also attacked by a
fungus disease which destroys large
numbers. Orange Judd Farmer.
