The four years drouth which has
caused so much destitution and suf-
fering among the people in the state
of Durango and Coahuila, Mexico,
has been broken by copious rains
for the last two months. The
Nazos river which flows through the
Laguna cotton district, is overflow
ing its banks, and the work of irri-
eating the land is now in progress
for the first time since the drouth
began. Fine crops of corn, beams
and cotton will be grown this sea-
son.

When President is inaugurateG
ut Washington he is usually sworI
in with large, new Bible, which i,
afterward presented to some mem
ber of his family. But Mr.. Cleve
land in 1885 took the oath on hi,
mothers bible. 1t was a small book
morocco bound and gilt-edged. Sc

and in the belief that it will be used
at the coming ceremony, the clerl

Take two pounds of quassia bark
steep it in water, and wash the colt
thoroughly from the tip of his nose
to the roots of his tail. If one ap
plication does not kill the lice, re-
peat. Not only will this kill all the

ing at encouraging figures by any
means-in fact it is almost impos
sible to sell real estate. Farming
being so unremunerative in the past
decade, accounts for this. The
agriculturist is double sufferer in
this, viz he does not get a paying
price for his wheat, and his acres
have lost 60 per cent. in value if he
wants to sell. The double blow il
what knocks farming and gives oul
farmers the blues. His farm that
he paid $l0O per acre for, he nov
gets $40, at best $50. Wheat tha'
commonly brought him 81 to Sl.1I
only brings 70 to s5 on an average
There is no other pursuit that pre-
sents so discouraging an outlook al
farming, it is by far the most de
pressed of all interests Centr
