There are not many men who know how

evident that the hotel keepers wife was
the real head and handspring of the bus

by MIR. Bates and his humble little IN -

is simply humorist, and shrewd one at

whose curiosity to see whether the

A curious custom of the Greek Church
was illustrated at the funeral the oth
day of the young Grand Duchess Paul, of
Russia. Before the coffin was closed the
metropolitan placed written paper in
the right hand OF the corpse, which read: :
I'VE, by the grace of God, prelate OF the
Holy Russian Church, write this TO our
master and friend, st. Peter, the gate
keeper of the Lord Almighty. We an
nounce to you that the servant of the
Lord, Her Imperial Highness, the Grand
Duchess Paul, has finished her life on
earth, and we order you to admit her
into the Kingdom of Heaven without de-
lay, for we have absolved all her sins and
granted her salvation. You will obey

we put in her hand. Hebrew Standard.

WellfngtOn's Sense of DUTY,

A most interesting anecdote, illustrat-
ing the high sense of duty in all things,
is told on the authority of the dukes
housekeeper at Walmer Castle. The
huge Blue Book of 500 pages on the
studies and discipline of the University
of Oxford had been sent to him as chan
celioi. He was engaged on it the night
before his death; he was going to bed, as
it was late. Heleft the Blue Book with his
pencil in it, and said to Lord Charles
Wellesley, who was with him. 81 shall

The Worlds Largest Telegraph Office.
The biggest telegraph office in the
world is that of London. 1t is located
in the General Postoffice building,
and is not accessible to the general
public. 1t contains more than three
thousand operators, and it's batteries
are supplied by plant OF 10000 cells
or enough to make three solid glass
rows of cells from the Capitol to the
White House. This Office does more
business than any Office in the United
States. 1t dispatches its business
much more quicker and more quietly
than our offices do, and its main
operating room is not half SO noisy as
The main office Of the Western Union
Company in New York. OF these 5000
operators about 1000 are women.
They have Il room to themselves, and
they do their work with American
Morse instruments with registers and
paper reels. In the other parts of the
Office all sorts of instruments are used,
and the Hughes printing instruments
are the most popular. In the big
telegraph operating room in Paris
1000 operators are at work. Nearly
one-half of these are women. The
day operators work only seven hours
while the night operators work ten
hours, but they get bigger pay than

From the Esesert.

We left the Alsodones on the 7th for trip down Carter river towards Salton and across the desert, examin- ing the supply of water and grass for stock on the American side of the line. The party consisted of N. A. Gillmap, w. McC. Labron and myself. On the Sth at the point where Carter river crosses the American boundary line, we saw a grand conflict among the clements, wind, water, rain and sand. The storm arose away to the west, across the great valley, and next to the main range of mountains, 75 miles distant. The storm was grand.H Considerable rain fell. We followed the river down to the first grand falls, which we encountered last year on the Patton expedition down to Salton. About 16 miles north of the boundary line, and near the point where the Indians say that the old Pegleg trail crossed the desert, we picked up an old Mexican spur, a monster, which must have been made more than 100 years ago. When and how it was left here, is the question. On the mesa north of Seven Wells, we picked up a horseshoe that had never been used. It has the form of those made for race horses. Still further on we picked up and old horse shoe, worn out, made at the time when it was the custom to make the large square nail holes. moro than twice the size of those made at the present time. This shoe ight have belonged to the Pegleg party, as he crossed here in 1882.
 The water is still running from the Diegueno's rancheria three miles east of Cooks Wells to point 2l miles north of the boundary line, on Ameri- can soil, beyond Alamo Mucho. This must come from the seepage, or from an underfow, from the Colorado, as there is now no visible flow of water from 1t, on the surface. In the 100 miles that we travelled down the Car ter river we found pasturage and water in great abundance. The water Is in the bed of the river, in great holes in the hard clay and marl. To some of these waterholes, we could find no bottom. The river had cut out great channels, the banks in places being from 30 to 60 feet high. The grand volume of water that passes through this channel when the Colo rado is from Is to 25 feet at the Yuma railroad bridge, can all be stored in the basins and old lakes which are found all along the course of the bed of the river and this great area of excellent farming land in San Diego county can be made one of the best sections of the state of California. The soil, climate and water are here. All that is neces sary, is to husband and distribute tke water over the surface of the soil. Irrigation will do the grand work and make this socalled desert another Riverside. In the whole valley there is pasturage enough for 50,00O head of cattle for year or more. We returned last evening after very pleasant trip.

Which will ye have? It does seem as if some folks prefer to have the last condition of the liver rather than the first. They perpetually dose them selves with purgatives totally without virtue as alternative of liver trouble. Hostetter;s Stomach Bitters is the successful candidate for the peoples choice, and yet, popular and well known as it IS, there are unfortunates who keep on trying the drastic remedies of former days. It is to the intelligent portion of the public that the we'll known and long tried properties of the Bitters appeal. Reason should be guided by experience in the matter of medication. "The best guide to our feet is the lamp of experience" said a great patriot of the early revolutionary period, and the exclamation is preg- nant with truth For over third of a century the Bitters daily have met with the endorsement of people suffer ing from liver complaint, malaria, con- stipation, rheumatism, debility and troubles accompanied by dyspepsia. Latterly it has declared itself and been thoroughly approved as a remedy for "la grippe.
