She Went After Water.

A short time ago, young widow, who became such by the hand of an as- sasin, was sadly in need of stock water, an ample supply of which was in the Tempe canal, but unfortunately it was carried to her ranch in the same ditch with that of several of her neighbors. Noticing that everyone else under the partnership ditch had fair head some even sufficient for irrigating pur- poses, the lady in a pleasant manner went to the men and asked that the water be divided. As no attention was psidto her request and the ranch was dry as bone, the lady waited but a few days before making the second re- quest, this time in more business like manner. She simply went to the head gate, informed the gentlemen she came after water and raised the gate, thereby taking what she considered her fair share of the water. "Now, "said the plucky httle woman, 'I am entitled to a share of this water and will have it hereafter. If any one interiors with the head gate, he does SO at the risk of being filled with cold lead" As she carried the necessary weapon for ad- ministeriDg the conditional frigid dose it is needless to say the gate was not molested.

Destrnctlon Of AmcrIcan Birds.

MT. John Worth, in the Nineteenth Century, gives some striking facts ibout the rapid eXtermination of the birds of North America. The advent If the blow and the frame hut of the settler is gradually driving the feath- cred tribe from its old haunts, and what nests are spared by the blow are only too often destroyed by prairie fires, The heath hen used to be seen in autumn in packs of from 100 to 200 birds each; nov the number in covy rarely exceeds siz or eight. The sharp tailed grouse and the wild turkey will soon follow the bison and the moose into the animalia of the past. Prof Ronev asserts in the Chicago Field that in some of the vast breeding col onies alone some ,C00,OOO,00O pigeons were sacrificed to Mammon" during one nesting season, and, even allowing for eSaggeration, the extent of the slaughter is beyond question. The remedy is not easy to seek. Mir. Worth suggests an act of congress to prevent bird destruction throughout the United States

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand acres OF
land in the heart of Tehazna County, for the
purpose Of promoting subdivision and settle

class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land Of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to SEQ per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, 80, 12o, 160 and $40 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment Of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first Of five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin.
cipal is TO be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have i've years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in.

The assertion is frequently made that goud
lands, suitable for general farming and es-
pecially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove To
home-seekers that this is opportunity for

agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms OF
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands to actual settlers result easy OF

REFERRING to the danger of cholera
again assailing us, DR.. Roosa, in the
Engineering Magazine, declares that
while it is true that those who are abso-
lutely punctillious about food and drink
that may carry the germ, and generally
escape the disease however many fall
about them, yet it is also true as it is of
the typhoid germ, that the disease may
be received into the stomach from the
air. Hence it is of the utmost import
ance that the air of towns and cities be
soil and water in which the germ may
thrive. nor if the dried secretions from pa
tients or infected clothing are permitted
to go into the air. 1t is possible,
he adds, to SO care for the cities and towns
that this liability will be greatly re-
moved, but this care is impossible if
breeding grounds are maintained. Now
the worst possible Of all breeding grounds
are these where decaying vegetable mat
ter is deposited. Once let the cholera
germ plant itself in these, and 1t is almost
impossible to eradicate it. Next to the
need, therefore, for destroying the possi-
bility of germ life in filth pits, sewers and
drains, is the necessity for so disposing of
garbage, which is most largely vegetable
matter, that it cannot receive and foster
the cholera germ. There is but one posi-
tive specific for the case, and that is fire.
large element of safety will be intro
duced into our municipal system when it
is resolved upon that garbage shall be
burned and not longer dumped upon the
earth.
