POISON BECOMING POPULAR,

recent developments seem to r-o-;
that the use Of poison for c~r..-1:-S.
purposes is increasing to an cla--1.,c
extent The a~ncients used il fIeci,
enough for the removal Of private a.
public foes, and there seem ID have
been epideInics Of the practice At vari
Gus times. Whereas in former da-e
the poisoning was done for revenge, rs
a general thing, or to remove the OBJ
ject of political or private jealousy,
the almost sole purpose for which it is
now adopted is that Of financial gain.
There is something about this mercen-
airy motive which renders it infinitely
more diabolical than merely poisoning
a person because he or she is a rival in
love, or might stand in the way of OBJ
tanning some appointment carrying
honor with it to the family name; and
one reading Of the fact of the increase
of child or adult poisoning for the pur-
pose of obtaining the insurance on
lives questions whether the
of which we boast is improving the
morale of the individual.

THE paucity of the A~merican-born
sailors in the United States navy has
excited a great deal of A
record of the seamen serving in the
navy since the establishment of this
system shows that not more than four
per cent. Of the lads who are gradu-

show that of the seven thousand two
hundred and fifty seamen allowed by
law in the navy less than one-half of
those who enlist at the receiving ships
are native-born Americans.

THE BENEFITS OF IRRIGATION.

Sixteen states and territories in our
ditions that irrigation is a necessity
for the cultivation of their crops and
the maintenance of green grass and
trees about their homesteads. Texas,
New Mexico, Arizona, California,
Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Kansas west
Of the ninety-seventh degree, Ne
braska, Wyoming, South Dakota,
North Dakota, Montana, Idaho,
eastern Oregon, and eastern Washing
ton are all bound together by a COM
mon interest and a common purpose in
the shape of irrigation. In many of
these states there are traces Of canals
and bitches, the work of old Spanish
explorers and of forgotten native
tribes. The grades of these prehis-
toric channels have been adopted in
many cases by modern irrigators.
Twenty years ago no one in America
had learned to utilize water on a large
scale for irrigation. Lands where
there was little or no rainfall were
abandoned, but it will not be many
years before bad lands" will become
an obsolete term. California has been
the leading western state to make use
of the benefits of irrigation, and
the miners there have long understood
the management of water. AS MI.
Charles II. Shinn says: They built
hundreds of miles of hydraulic mining
bitches, triumphs of engineering skill,
bringing whole rivers from the snow
peaks to the beds of g~old-bearing
gravel below. They siphoned streams
over mountains; they belted their
fumes in mid-air to perpendicular
cliffs of granite a thousand feet from
base to crest; they changed little AL
pine valleys into mountain lakes.
men as these find it only child's
play to water their hillside gardens, to
wall up the fats by mountain
streams and food them SO that the
clover or alfalfa keeps green
there all the year" The mar
velous change that has been eff
fected IN such places as the Kern
region, the Riverside colony, and the
San Joaquin valley show the infinite
possibilities of these arid lands. So
ar the irrigators have been private
owners or corporations, but it is a
question that the people of these states
consider, what their duties are
With respect to irrigation, and whether
he control of this all important water
upply shall not be in the control of
he state or federal government.

A YOUNG Baltimore lady who visited
a milliner's shop two months ago was
appalled, on reaching home after her
shopping tour to discover that she had
lost one of her thousand dollar diamond
earrings. There was much weeping
and many advertisements. The other
day a lady residing in Alabama wrote
to the millinery firm hat the bonnet
which she had purchased of them had
arrived safely, and that she was par
ticularly well pleased to find a dia-
entangled in the lace trimmings.
She concluded her letter by saying
she was anxious to return the diamond
to its owner. Honesty such as this. is
seldom seen.

HIBBERT's GORE is the one place in
Maine where taxes are unknown. ONLY
six families reside there-forty persons
in all. The Gore comprises three hun
dred acres, bounded by Waldo, Knox
and Lincoln counties, and by some
mistake was omitted by the engineers
when these counties were laid out.
Having no connection with any county
and having been organized as a
town or a plantation, the residents of
the Gore neither pay taxes nor vote.
They build their own roads, however,
and send their children to the schools
near by. By a special provision of the
statutes the paupers of the Gore are
cared for by the oldest adjoining town,
Palermo, but there have been only
three paupers in the last forty years.
