The Arid west.

The total area of the Arid West may be estimated at about l,100, 900, 900 acres, The ares of possible reclama- ton is variously estimated. The geo logical s,lrSey states it at loo, 900, GOO acres. The writer has given 1t ct l50,- OOo,0OO. Col George N. Wheeler, the able army engineer, has placed the total at 250,O00, 900. The unsettled public lands of the United States em- brace about 60,000, 900 acres, of which all but twenty Millions are found west of the io0th meridian, The business possibilities dependent upon irrigation development can "be read by he wh5 runs.
 There were living west of the arid meridian, over D, 1000, 900 persons when the eleventh census was iaken. The present population is not less than $500, 900 persons.

Ornaments for pudss.

Bracelets and dudes are the latest com bination. The bigger the bracelet the bigger the dude--that is, the larger the circlet the dude can keep upon his wrist without assuming tue attitude of a man undergoing highway robbery the greater his claim to distinction in dudedom, Twisted bands of silver wire. half dozen, more of less, on each wrist, is the proper thing, though bands of gold, studded with brilliants, are occasionally worn. It is exceedingly "vulgah" to ex- pose these ornaments to public gaze on the streets
 They are only visible in the seclusion of the drawing room or the dudes own apartments. On going out the bracelets ty slight twist of the wrists are tucked up under the cuffs, which must be extra large. To execute this movement grace. fully is test which seems to distinguish the real from the spurious swell.
 "Oh. yes," said State street jeweler in answer to a question, ''braeelets for men is a fad that is spreading rapidly. 1t struck Chicago month ago. but the swells have got it bad We have done a rushing business in bracelets for the last ten days Most of the 'fellahs' pretend they are buying for their sisters, but the solicitude they display in getting an ar ticle that will just fit inside their cuffs gives them away. Dread of street ga mins, l suppose, prompts them to keep their arm ornaments concealed when out walking, Chicago News

Living in Washington.

There is general complaint again among members of congress about the high cost of living at the capital, and a number of the old members have de- clined further service there largely on that account. Judgo Forney, of Ala bama, a long time friend and associate of Samuel J. Randall, will not go back to Washington at the next session sim. ply because he refused the renomination. Mir. Herbert, chairman of the commit tee on naval affairs, and Representative Peel, of Arkansas, the chairman of the committee on Indian affairs, old, experi. enced members, bavo also voluntarily retired.

Rather an odd accident happen ;d to a young woman on Park row on Friday. Sho was handsomely dressed. wearing for a wrap one of the new double decked. balloon rigged capes of velvet, trimmed with fur and lined with colored silk She was about crossing the street when two men seized her and began pulling and ratting the precious cape with their hands.
 The woman was badly scared. turned as white as sheet, and simply stood helpless. gazing at the antics of the men who were dancing about her. and who she thought were highwayinen trying to make of with her new winter wrap Presently the men tipped their hats and explained that the garment they had been treating seemingly so roughly had been Rblaze. Sure enough, there was big ugly black hole eaten out of the velvet of enc of the front folds Probably the wearer in passing some smoker had caught spark from cigar or pipe She thanked the gallants who had come to her rescue and then went on her way. hiding as bes. sue could the damaged part of the garment. IL is question whether the moral of this story is that men should not smoke in the street or women should not wear the new tangled cape. New York Times

A wedding took place in Cleveland Thursday noon under somewhat roman. tic circumstances when Colonel Oliver P, Johnson, of Washington. was married to Miss Rachel Owen, of Racine, Vie. The ceremony was at the home of the brides sister, Mrs. Mary Veal. Colonel Johnson is a fne looking man of about fifty, with military bearing, the Ceye- land dispatches set forth, and the bride Is handsome woman of twenty-eight.
 When they went to the court house to- gether to get the marriage license Colo nel Johnson remarked. "She is brave little woman" and added. This match Is on the runaway order. She said she would meet me half way, so she travelled alone to Cleveland, and came from Washington"
 Then Colonel Johnson wrote the names and addresses of himself and his bride upon piece of paper, headed them with the declaration, ''very romantic" and left the note for the reporters. Wash ington Post.

sleep with Head to the Sor,h.

The old time superstitious belief that human beings should sleep with their head toward the north is now believed to be based upon scientific principle. Some French sNvants have made sx- perimentsupen the body of criminal who had suffered death, and these tests go to prove that each human body is in itself an electric battery, one slectrode being represented by the head and the other by the feet. The body of the subject upon which the queer expert msnts mentioned above were made was immediately after death and placed upon a pivoted board, free to move in any direction. After some little vaci- lation the head portion tsrned towards the north and remained stationary. One of the experimenters took hold of the pivot beard and turned it so that the head pointed south, but upon be- ing freed it almost immediately re- sumed the first named position turned until the head pointed north. To prove that this was neither accident or coiAeident upon muscular twitchings, as some had suggested, the board was repeatedly tnrRsd half around and then freed, but always with similar results.

Perioda.es as n Cure for Cholera.


 The experiments now being made with crystals of periodate and periodate of iron for the treatment of cholera cases in the barracks of Hamburg have re- suited in a remarkable falling off in the death rate at those barracks as compared with other hospitals ill that city. Dr. Weaver, who was the first to use the periodates, claims that this method is simply an application of the principles of sanitation to the body, and that it Is at once preventive and curative as sys- tenn of physical disinfection and cleans ing. The periodate appears to kill the disease germs instantly, yet it is per- fectly harmless to the human system. even when introduced in large quanti- ties.
 The periodate of iron has been used in cases in which an unusually strong nerve or heart stimulant has been deemed nee essary, or for severe neuralgia symptoms The powdered crystals have been used to disinfect tso alimentary canal and as water solution to wash out tho stomach in cases of severe vomiting They have been employed also for transfusions un. der the skin or into vein in order to re- store suspended circulation of the blood. In Q caso of collapse the patient has been given drafts of periodate sufficient to re- store the pulse and causo the heart beats to return. London Times.

The snarrow pscllninr.

News comes from Pennsylvania that the English sparrow Is retiring before the advance of cur native song birds. At meeting in Pittsburg of the State 0rnithologicai association Dr. Thomas L. Hazard read an interesting report on the bird population of the Alleghany parks In iST5 the park commissioners imported seyenty-fve sparrows from Philadelphia, and took such good care of them that all but three died. The three survivors managed to escape from the shelter provided for them, and a re; turn to their natural habits filled them with health and vigor They began to raise families, and in few years there were hordes of spairows, while nearly all other birds were driven out of tho parks by their pugnacious enemies.
 Lately, however, the sparrows seein to be less aggressive than they formerly were. Last spring Dr. Hazard counted in the parks nine robins, four orioles, several bluebirds and other song birds There had been seen in the parks also during tho summer red headed wood- becker, downy woodpecker, flicker, yellow warblers and several other repre-. sentative birds of sweet song and bright plulnage. Another encouraging fact was that Dr. Hazard counted during fall in the parks five robins nests in good reA pair and three of last years slightly damaged, four orioles nests i'll good re- pair and four not So good, ns well as eleven other nests built by desirable birds of one sort or another This made a total of twenty y-seyen nests, whereas two years ago he had been able to find but two such birds ests,--Rochester Democrat.

There are 2,s94 negroes employed in Washington by the government, and they draw from the treasury in salaries about $2 ,000,0OO year Naturally the defeat of the Republican party was a severe blow to them, for, being Repub- hcans themselves, they expect to be re- moved by the Cleveland administration in so far as they are not protected by the civil service rules. 4 large number of them, however may be happily dis. appointed, although men like ex.Senator Bruce. who receives Sl8.000 year as recorder of deeds in the District of Columbia. are very likely to be acceler- ated into private life,
 In all there arc between 75,0O0 and 0,000 negroes who live at the national capital, and their accumulation of wealth is now very large. Among them, too, are many of the best educated young men of the race. who ought to be scattered among their people in the south helping 10 elevate the general con. dition of the negroes.

The Scientific Method in polItlo..

True intellectual manhood has not been attained until men have learned to trust nature, to test all opinions and schemes by the touchstone of natural law, and as necessary result to despise swaddling clothes and leading strings and all the paraphernalia of creeping childhood or timorous imbecility Wo sec before us, as we believe, 6 prospect of manhood for the American people such manhood as they have never be- fore attained to--one of the chief signs of which will be a proud confidence in themselves, and in connection and through harmony herewith a noble and generous bearing toward all other na- tions.
 Heretofore men politically prominent among ourselves have not been ashamed to suggest that the best policy for us was the one that wrought most evil to other countries, and have thus fed and stinu- lated all that was meanest and most ma hgnant in the minds of those whom they addressed. There has thus been culti- vated among a people which ought, from it's advantages of position, to be the most cosmopolitan and broadly philanthropic of all nations tone of feeling more petty and parochial than could perhaps be found in any other community of the modern world. The mark has, however, been overshot, and the better feeling and better sense of the American people are now, we may trust, about to assert them selyes.-Popular Science Monthly.

Dr. Marks, Superintendent of the St, Louis Clty Hospital says: Most people do not eat half enongh salt. If salt be taken in moderate quantities regularly every day the general health of the user will be greatly improved. Nearly every time I take a glass of water add to it teaspoonfull of com mon table salt After being taken sey- eral times the taste will be found more agreeable than otherwise. All mineral waters should have salt added before being used, for scarcely any of the ya- rious kinds contain enough. Enthusi- asts on the salt diet claim that it's free ltse prevents malarial troubles. Though I do not claim quite as much for it as that, l think it is a very valuable arti- cle of consumption, and should be used more than it is.

A bill will be introduced in the Sen. ate shortly after the extra session con. venes to make the silver certificates a legal tender. Should the bill pass the legal-tendef currency of the country will be increased s326, 4S9, ,165. The bill, so far as known, will not be intro- duced as a partisan measure, although it may become one. The certificates are good for customs duties and all public debts, but unless private indi- vidusl is willing to take them, he can not be compelled to do so, and can de- mand legal tenders It is very doubt ful if majority of people are aware that silyer certificates gre not legal ten ders. Yet such IS n fact, and Tn order to make them legal determined effort will be made next month to get Con. gress to declare them so.

Their Good Grin sarsa Them.

When the morning train from Shenan. doah was approaching the ninety feet high trestle of the Pennsylvania railroad a mile above St. Clair, at high rate of speed, the engineer was mortified at dis covering two men ahead in the center of the structure It was too late to stop the train, and as there is but single track and no sidewalk the engineer after reversing his engine closed his eyes to shut out the sight of two human beings hurled into space. The train reached the west side of the trestle before it stopped, when the two men, supposed to have been thrown into the rayine below. were seen walking along the trestling, They escaped death by hanging from the spans over which the train passed.

Referring to the failure of the Great Eastern, which at the time was attrib- uted to her size, in comparison with the success which now attends boats of nearly the same dimensions. how plain now to naval architects, vessel owners and in fact everybody possessing even a limited knowledge of ths requirements as to power in large steam vessels is the main cause of failure in the Great East ern. Her power was entirely ont of proportion to hef great length and other dimensions. The dimensions of Atlantic liners are now approaching to nearly the size of the Great Eastern. The length of the Great Eastern was os0 feet and her horsepower 7,050. The new Cunard liner cempania is 820 feet long, but her horsepower will be S0,0o0, and it is said that the boat which the White Star Hne proposes to build st Belfast. Ireland, will be TOO feet long. It is the difference of power to which attention is called, however. Marine Review.

 When the Southern Pacific railroad was built through Arizona Territory, it was with no thought of developing that region. It was built nnd operated en- tirely as trans continental road, as it was generally believed that the coun- try was not worth developing. Yet this same land, tributary to the South. ern Pacific, is to-day. by the agency of irrigation, capable of producing shs finest semi-tropical fruits. At the las! report Arizona was credited with 66O,- 000 acres under ditch, of which 315, ,00O were under cultivation. Arecent writer takes exceptions to Southern Arizona being spoken of as desert even with out irrigation. A number of very e1. tensiye irrigation work5in this section are projected or actually in course of construction, that will add many shous. and producing acres, to the grand sum of Arizona's farm land.

Ten Millions.

The news comes out from Washing ton through person on the 'inside, '' that $10, ,000, 900 are to be expended fl necessary in securing the repeal of the Sherman act. The systematic manipu- lation of the press is conducted from New York with five mill ons, and the other five millions is to bo used by the lobby on members of Congress. The effect of this fund is already seen in the tome of the press, and in the non commital attitude of members of Con- gress. When a member who was elect ed on free coinage platform, express es doubt as to his position, watch him he is giving an intimation to the lobby that he is "open to conviction. The constituents of all such members have duty fo perform, if they are betrayed. The members must be taught that they are not there on their own account. They are there to rep resent the people of Che district which sends them. They must be impressed with the fact that it is unhealthy for q member to sell out constituents.

A doctor of divinity of high personal integrity and much respected in the de- nomination to which he belongs is about to marry young lady to whom he has become attached under somewhat TO- mantle circumstances, The reverend gentleman, who is about sixty years of age, has devoted great portion of his life to the rescue of poor boys and girls, Some twenty years ago or more he picked up hungry, half clad, friendless but bright eyed little girl. and removed her to one of the homes of which he had oversight. The child was willing and eager to learn all that could be taught her.

She is still associated with the work, but she is engaged to marry the man who picked her. so to speak, from the gutter.
