Fourteen Times Around Mountain BE-
tween Base and Summit

Fourteen Times Around Mountain BE-
tween Base and Summit.
There is a mountain fifteen miles
from Tumacacor, but SO near the inter-
national line that it is not known posi-
lively whether it is in Arizona or Mex
leo, but it is believed that it is United
States property. Miners. says New
York Recorder, have always called it
Babel mountain, and il Is most ap-
propriate name 1t is of soft sand
stone and pumice formation, and the
work of making the road was not q
diflicult task The road commences in
a canyon Of the foothills and.rises at an
easy grade, corkscrew fashion, going
around the mountain fourteen times
before the summit is reached. The
road is about fifty yards square when
it starts at the base and gradually gets
smaller until it is only ten feet wide at
the top. In many places the road has
been washed out by the storms of
years, but it is still possible to take a
horse to the top. In many places,
where the sides overhang little, the
mark of the builders pick can be plain
ly seen on the wall of rock. To ascend
the mountain person must follow the
road, and this is a two days task, rs it
is about thirty miles. as near as can be
calculated without actual measure
ment. The lowest road is little over
three miles long when it goes around
the mountain once. However, this is
very irregular and goes around several
spurs OF the mountain. The roughness
of the road is undescribable, and a
horse is Of no use for week after the
trip The topof the mountain is about
seven thousand feet above the plain.
There is nothing at the top. and the
adventurer wonders, when he gets
there, what the road was built for.

phasis that the grave elders could not
restrain a smile. The leader alone re-

said, give him food and drink, and the

On, on to Zion!''
''On, on to Zionl" cried the crowd of
Mormons, and the words rippled down
the long caravan, passing from mouth
to mouth until they died away in a
dull murmur in the far distance. With
cracking of whips and a creaking OF
wheels the great wagon got into mo-
ton, ard soon the whole caravan was
winding along once more. The elder
to whose care the two waits had been
committed led them to his wagon,
where meal was already awaiting
them.
'You shall remain here" he said.
''In a few days you will have recov-
cred from your fatigues. In the mean
time, remember that now and forever
you are of our religion. Brigham Young
has said it, and he has spoken with the

TREES THAT GIVE MILK.

DR.. Spruce, tho renowned South
American traveller, mentions tres, O
member of the dog bane family, the
juice of which is used as milk, says
Chambers Journal. On the bark be-
ing wounded the milk flows abundant
ly, and is of the consistency Of cows
milk, of the purest white, and sweet
to the taste. The Indian mode of taxi
ing it is to apply the mouth directly to
the wound, and thus receive the milk
as it flows. DR.. Spruce says he has
often partaken OF 1t without experience
ing any i'll effects.
In Guiana, the natives employ the
milk from n tree belonging to the same
family as the last named: in the yer
nacular IL is known as hyahya, and to
botanists as Tabernaemontana utilis
ESQ named after Jacobus Theodorus
Taberpaemontanus. German physi-
clan and botanist). The milk has the
same flavor as sweet cows milk, but Is
rather sticky on account Of its contain
ing some caoutchouc.
In Para, lofty tree, belonging to
the star apple family, attaining =
height of one hundred feet, Is used In
q similar manner TO the others men,

so that they answered to their names
and followed like u dog. In cold
weather they were kept in the sitting
room, and were constant companions
of the women and children. When the
Indians were absent for any great
length OF time the beavers showed
great uneasiness. and on their return
discovered equal signs OF pleasure by
fondling them, crawling into their
laps, lying on their backs like squir-
rel, and behaving like children In the
presence of parents whom they seldom
see. In their wild state beavers feed
on bark and hcrbage chiefly, but In
their case they feed for the most part
on rice. plum pudding. partridge and
venison, and they like oil Of them ex-

The CRADLE OF GREAT MEN.
A Distinguished Pubiicist Says tho wcst

A distinguished Pubiicist Says tho wcst
Is Their Birthplace.
The typical Americans have all been
western men, with the exception, let
us say, of Washington. Washington
had not had much of European culture.
The qualities that made him n great
commander and q great president were
qualities which would have made him
an equally great frontiersman. You
cannot imagine Hamilton, or Madison,
or Livingston, or John Adams, or the
Pinckneys living tolerably on the from
tier. They are not Americans in tho
sense in which Clay and jackson and
Lincoln are Americans. We may wish
that the typical Americans of the past
had had more knowledge, more cult
waited appreciation Of the valne of
what was old and esta blished, a
justcr view of foreign nations
and foreign politics; that they
had been more like Webster and less
life Jackson; and we may hope that
the typical American OF the future
will bc wiser and better poised. But
in the meantime the past Is to be un-
derstood and estimated rs the
facts stand, and only n thoroughly
sympathetic comprehension OF these
men who have actually been the typ
ical Americans will enable us TO effect
that purpose. The fact that Clay
rather than Webster, jackson and not
John Quincy Adams, represented the
forces which were really predominant
and distinctively American In our de-
velopment Is commentary enough on
any theory that makes either Of the
peculiar sections of the Atlantic sea-
board the principal or only theater of
American history.

KING COTTON AT. HOME.

BRILLIANT Appearance of Field of Cotton
In June.
A field of cotton in June Ia like q
great. brilliant flower bed. According
TO the Blue and Gray, its bloom resem-
bles the hollyhocl1, and has the re-
markable popularity of changing its
color from hour to hour. When IL first
opens 1t is a pale straw color; In few
hours it is pure white; later II ID
faintly pink, and next morning rose
color The flower is succeeded by q
triangular pod, containing in three
cells the seeds in three locks of white
down which burst forth when the pod
opens. The length and the fineness of
this fiber, or staple" as IL is called,
determines the grade of the cotton.
The ''sea island or long stapled cot
ton is grown on the upland. The best
cotton in the world is grown on Edisto
island, south of Charleston; the staple
of this is nearly two inches long.
Seen under microscope, the cotton
fibers are ribbon shaped, and not
straight like flax. but twisted some
thing like corkscrew The best sea
island cotton is in beautiful spiral
springs that lend themselves readily to
spinning. This cotton is used only in
the manufacture of the most delicate
fabrics; in England, n single pound Of
it has been wrought into one thousand
and twenty-six miles of thread.
1t was at first thought that compress
sion would injure the staple Of the
cotton; that the fiber would be broken
off short, or the spiral screw. SO neces-
sary to good spinning. be crushed fat.
But it was demonstrated by expert
ment that, so far from injuring the
staple. it seemed to preserve IL, and
since then the great desire of the cot
ton shippers has been to get machine
to compress the cotton as much as pos

for the past year. The meeting was
held at the time there being but very
few voters and tax payers present The
financial report showed the trustees had
handled over $40, 600 the last year which
is quite little sum. But to hear this
report there was the greatest indifference
manifested by the people. Had there
been an election for some petty office
every voter would have found time to
have been present.
TIE reports were accepted and the
trustees allowed $45 each for their

people outside the Latter Day Saints
who can hold themselves together? No

can be held together rs we are. We
came to thcs, valleys and we lived in

ourselves un,il, IN response TO our APP
peals for admission into the Union as u
state, our government gave us an organ
ization as a Territory, and we could have
lived here forever in the same way, be-
calse OF the principles We believe in and
practice. And every man and woman
OH the face OF this broad land could live
with us and enjoy themselves to the full
est extent We love our country. We
love the constitution. We love the
institutions OF the country. We know
that God established this government
and we are determined TO uphold it.

to destroy it, and corruption, venality,
bribery, and many other evils have crepl
into almost every branch OF the govern

More Capitalization.

Ifnothing else comes OF this disturb
ance," says the Salt Lake Tribune, I'VE
think it will result eventually in having
a clearer understanding AZ to the rights
OF the Federal government to intervene
when, in time ofgreat trial, State govern
ments either show their inabilityor their
indisposition to have justice done"
We too, and we hope some people viii
learn that our government needs little
more power at the head, such as centra-.
liz,lion. The governor OF Illenois H.
lestrates that weak part OF our consti-
tuition, that the President can do MOTH
ing towards calling out the troops OF the
nation to quill striks etc. in state unless
called upon by the governor to do 10.
We say give our government little
more Capitalization of power, in this re-
gard at .eas,, 40 that any governor OF n
state can be taught the lesson that he is
subject TO the head like other citizens,
and that he cannot be a wrong doer him
self by remaining quiet, or joining with
those who are destroying property and
life. The theory Of the sovereignty OF
states, should be buried so deep that no
power or party can ever dig it mp again.
1t nearly rained our nation once, and
that should be enough.
