We are not afraid Of the crushing out
of the coal and iron industries of the
south by pntting these on the free list
Free raR material will stimulate manu-

The time is coming when the s0HthesD

Curious Rock Formation Found In th
 Interior of Arizona.

Curious Rock Formation Found In the
 Interior of Arizona. Curious rock formations are to be found all over the world, but most of them require long stretch of the i'm agination before the objects they are said to represent can be seen. The well-known pictured rock known as the ''Old Man of the Mountain is pos sibly the most perfect natural curiosity of the kind in the country, when viewed from the west under certain at mospheric conditions. There are a dozen natural wonders of the same kind scattered over the country, all more or less perfect, but in Arizona there is one that is deserving of first place.
 It isa short distance east of the stage road between Tucson and Oracle, and stands on knoll several feet above the surrounding sand hills. When first seen the effect is startling, and the mind has to get over a shock before the peculiar object can be comprehend ed. It is most perfect representa- tion of a camel, and is formed of one piece of granite.
 No effort of the imagination is re- quired to perceive the ship of the des- ert" standing like a sentinel in the midst of the sand and almost verdure-

A Pugnacious Carp.

At Columbus, Ind, recently carp which weighed eight and a half pounds had been left in n small sound of water by the recent overflow, and was discovered by dog, who began barking at it. The fish began jumping at the dog, and his gills and fins be- came distended, plainly showing his intense anger. Finally the dog sprang at the fish, and, plunging under the water, brought the carp out and laid it on shore.
 VICTOR BALLOT, one of the few sur viving veterans of the French army at Waterloo, recently celebrated his one hundredth anniversary in his native village in the Yonne.
 THE receipts of the board of home missions of the Presbyterian church for the eleven months of the fiscal year amount to s659,Ol4O3 against S6O5,- SO2.0S for the same period one year ago.

MOVEMENT OF INDIAN PEOPLE.
Widows May Remarry. and the Marriage
 Of Infants Is Less Common.

Widows May Remarry, and the Marriage
 Of Infants Is Less Common.
 The report of the last census in Ben gal, which has just been published, up- sets several beliefs which hitherto have found general acceptance. For in stance, it proves that the natives, in stead of being averse to leaving their ancestral villages, are steadily moving from more densely peopled areas to those where the population is less crowded; also that widow remarriage is practically universal in Behar, Oris- sa, Chota-Nagpore and among the low CT castes of Bengal proper and is un- known only among a very few high castes everywhere and the more re- spectable Sudras of Bengal proper. The report also states that infant mar riage does not exist to any appreciable extent except in northeast Behar and among the Brahmins, Kayasths and other purely Sudra castes of western Bengal. It also shows the great prog ress of Mohammedanism which has in- creased more than nine per cent in Bengal proper in the last decade, while the increase in Hinduism is less than five per cent. This fact is explained to be due to the desire on the part of the lowest castes to adopt a religion which treats all men as equals.

less hills. Persons seeing it for the first time will be likely to rub their eyes and wonder if they are in sound mind.
 This curiosity is of colossal size but perfectly proportioned. It is about sixty feet high and is very white and smooth. There are very few Assures on the surface, and they, strangely, are in the proper places to form fea. lures. The only real projection from the surface is exactly placed for an eyebrow. The two humps are plainly to be seen and the neck is cured beau tifully.
 The rock is really solid piece ris- ing from the ground, but the effect of legs is produced by a clump of dark colored brush that grows beside the stone. The white stone shows plainly at both sides of the brush and the eff. feet of legs is unmistakably produced.
 The strangest part of it is that it looks like camel from all sides and at all times of the day or night. There is no disgusting the resemblance.
 How the rock got into its present shape is one of the great mysteries of nature. It has, no doubt, stood in its present position for ages, and was pos sibly a prominent landmark of the Aztecs in the days when they lived in the land, and the chances are that it will keep guard over the desert long after the present civilization has passed away.

Story of a Lustrons Diamond.

one of the finest diamonds in the world was found not long since in the Brazilian sands. It came in a novel form. A small quartz rock was found about the size and shape of an egg, ly- ing in the sand along the banks of the Amazon, in Brazil. This was carried home by Brazilian peasant, who was attracted by its odd shape and light weight. For some time it lay in his home with number of other geologi- cal specimens, a mere curiosity. Hap pening one day in handling it to drop it on a stone block, it burst open and lay in halves on the block. The hol- low interior that gave the light weight to the stone was filled with blood-red sand. In this sand lay the diamond, a sparkling stone of the rarest quality. The stone was later sold to a diamond merchant and left the finder exceed ingly wealthy.
