4 Clever Condition of Things in
Chayes.
Chaves county is in the best condition
of any county in New Mexico. Taxes are
lower, and expenses are less than in any
other county in the territory. In select
ing home, these things should, and will,
be considered. Death and taxes are the
two things that can not be avoided; but 1t
is natural for a man to put off the one as
long rs possible, and get along with as
little of the other as possible. The death
rate in Chaves county is like the taxes
less than in any other county in the ter
ritory. Therefore, the two most import
ant considerations in seeking a home, are
here combined. The matter of health is
due to climatic conditions. The low taxes
are attributable to the fact that from the
organization of the county our people
have displayed good Judgment in select
ing careful, conservative business men as
county commissioners. The example set
will be followed in the future, and with
the increase in population and wealth,
taxes will constantly decrease.-Roswell

An Era Of Reform,

Governor Thornton has made Il grand
record for his administration, and de-
serves the gratitude of all good citizens,
irresp ective of party. Of course certain
Republican newspapers will object to his
making political capital" by reason of
his fairness, but that is to be expected from
newspapers that follow the lead of men
who hesitate at nothing when there is a
purpose to be accomplished. Newspapers
of the responsibility of the Silver City
Enterprise are naturally ashamed of the
unlawful and questionable methods of
certain party leaders, but lack the m oral
courage to say so, and although they de-
sire the stains that have been cast on the
fair name of New Mexico by Prince,
Catron & Co. removed, they want the
Democrats to go about the cleansing pro-
cess so quietly that pnblic attention will
lot be drawn to the number and extent of
the stains, and for fear that the Democrats
will get some credit. If the Prince ad-
ministration had been fairly good, and
not run in the interest of the Santa Fe
gang, there would now be no need of
vigorous measures for the suppression of
midnight assassins. If the so-called Re-
publican gang at Santa Fe considered it
commendable politics to encourage secret
political societies, assassinations, and
capitol burning, a Democratic admins
tration will make an issue and go before
the people on its record for bringing the
perpetrators of crime to justice. The
fact is that there has been no true Repu-
blicanism in New Mexico, and the article
paraded under that name was Catronism,
Princeism, or some other ism, as the case
happened to be, and the voters in the ter
ritory blindlY swallowed it, bad taste and
ALL However the day is fast approach
ing when the party will repudiate the
leadership of such men as have in the
past disgraced it, Socorro Adver-
tiser.

TEXAS is about to try the innovation Of
substituting white labor for that of the
negro in the cotton fields. Several hun.
bred Hungarians, Italians and Slays have
been sent from the Pittsburg coal regions
to the Lone Star state. The experiment
will probably result in failure. The ne.
groes are peculiarly fitted for the work
and Judging from the record the foreign.
ers have made in the coal mining regions
it is somewhat of risky experiment.

WOMAN suffrage has been taken up as a
fad by the society women of New York

if these women would make use of the

rIniforns to scare the Enemv.

According to the report prepared by
the war department, red uniforms were
first adapted by the Emperor Valerius
Maximus in order that the Roman sol
diers might not be frightened by the
sight of their own blood. To this day
the children of England are told that
this is the reason why French troops
wear red trousers, and French children
are taught the same notion respecting
the red coats of the British The legion
aries of ancient Rome wore the skins OF
bears on the field of battle to make them
look fierce. For the same reason they
put figures of frightful beasts Oh their
shields and helmets. From this odd Gus
tom springs modern crests and armorlal
bearings The idea Of soaring the enemy
by such devices has been perpetuated up
to quite recent times. Tall bearskin
hats were originally adopted to make
them look taller by the French cuiras-
siers, each of whom carried a handful
of grenades for scattering among the
ranks of their foe.-Troy Times.

Recent plications Of Paper.

The year 1891 was certainly one Of
those in which new industrial applies
tions of paper were most numerous.
The idea of using paper in place of stone
in the construction Of houses is already
old, but paper to take the place of glass
in window7, of clay in fowerpots, of
iron in railway rails, wagon wheels and
horseshoes, of porcelain in laboratory
ware, of wood in barrels, it having al
ready taken the place of that material
in small boats, paper in pulleys, are ap-
plications as novel as bold. The manu-
facture of window panes of paper was
first tried in the United States.
The panes have the appearance of
milky glass, and the property of inter
cepting the light rays while letting the
heat rays through, which makes them
suitable for greenhouses. 1t is estimated
that paper window pane ninety-foul'

Sun Spots.

It has been observed that after the
sun spots have been at a minimum the
summers are hotter, just as though there
was more heat coming from the sun at
such periods, and the fact has been ac-
counted for by supposing that sun spots
are caused by vast clouds of matter
erupted from the sun and condensed in
the surrounding space These act as
screens and prevent the SUMS heat from
radiating freely through them From
an examination of statistics A. B;
Mcdowell, NJ. A, has found that in
England during the hot summers, fol-
lowing the minima Of sun spots, the.
month of August is hotter than July,
an effect due, in all likelihood, to accu-
mutation of the heat. -American Reg

Wine In Bottles

The increase of the strength Of wine
by keeping depends upon whether it is
kept iii cask or bottle. If stored IN cask,
there is g constant increase Of alcohol
Tho ancients knew that wine improved
if kept in leathern bottles, and the same
result is obtained by keeping it in wood
en- vessels, for both leather and wood
are more easily penetrated by water than
BY alcohol. Evaporation ensues from
both, but more freely from water, and
the wine consequently becomes richer
in alcohol On the other hand, the opin-
ion that wine has grown old in bottles
and therefore become stronger is thor
oughly false. Evaporation is very much
hindered by the cork, even when this Is
not covered with rosin and sealing wax.
The simple explanation of our finding
old bottled wine rich in alcohol is that
only the stronger wines can be preserv-
ed and the weaker ones cannot resist
the effects Of time. At the same time,
although all wine must eventually be
spoiled and weakened by keeping it in
bottles, yet some kinds acquire, as @
first consequence Of that cause which
afterward destroys them, and which Is
neither more nor less than the chemical
alteration in their constituents, proper
ties which render them more agreeable

Dwarfing Bamboo Trees.

The dwarfng of bamboo trees is an
important branch of the japanese nnr-
sery. business A few weeks after the
shoots begin to grow, and when the
trunks measure about inches in cir
conference and 5 feet in height the
bark is removed, piece by piece, from
the joint. After five weeks, when the
plants get somewhat stout, the stem is
bent and tied in
After three months, when the side
shoots grow strong enough, they are all
cut off five or six inches from the main
trunk, they are then dug up and potted
in sand. Care should be taken not to
use any fertilizer, but plenty of water
should be given Cut off the large shoots
every year in May Or June, and after
three years the .twigs and leaves will
present admirable yellow and green
tints Garden and Forest.

MODES of Divination.


IF a Scottish maiden desired to sum
mon the image of her future husband,
she read the third verse, seventeenth
chapter, of the book of Job after supper,
washed the supper dishes and retired to
bed without uttering a single word,
placing underneath her pillow the BIZ
Bile, with a pin thrust through the verse
she had read On All Hallow eve various
modes of divination were in vogue.
Pennant says that the young women de-
ter1nined the figure and size of their
husbands by drawing cabbages blind
fold, q custom which fingers still in
some parts of Scotland. They also threw
nuts into the fire. practice prevailing
also in England, as Gay has described:
Two hazel nuts threw into the flame,
And to each, nut gave a sweetheart's name.
This with the loudest bounce me sore amazed,
That in fame of brightest color blazed,
AS blazed the nut so may thy passion grow.
Or they took a candle and went alone to
looking glass, eating an apple and
oombing their hair before it, whereupon
the face Of the future spouse would be
seen in the glass peeping over the fool:SA

ON THE BATTLEFIELD.
m rose over the field of wheat

The sun rose over the field of wheat
And warmed the breath of an early spring.
Tie smiling flowers made the morning sweet,
And there were caroling birds to sing,
And by the brook were children at play,
Planning their childish games for the day.
But the sun sank over field of red,
Leaving no wheat nor farmhouse there.
Only the ghastly lines of the dead
And blackness and ruin everywhere,
And along the brook, instead of play,
Were the silent forms of blue and gray.

STRONG MEN SHED TEARS.
Ann LITTLE BLACK DOG WAS THE
CAUSE OFF


He Was Keeping Watch BY the Side of His
Dead Master--A Pathetic Story Which
Comes from California.
From the Los Angeles Times.
AS a rule railroad men are about as
bard-hearted as the average, and it takes
something out of the ordinary run to
bring tears to their eyes, but a whole
crew on one of the Southern Pacific's
local trains shed tears early the other
morning, and little black dog without
friend in the world caused it.
The Cotton local had just passed lit
lie static called Nahant, when the en-.
gineer saw man lying Eat full length on
the track on1yS few hundred yards in
front of his engine.
The usual danger signal was given,
but!the man did not move, and the train
was brought to standstill few feet
from him.
A glance at the body from close range
showed the engineer that the poor fellow
was stone dead. In a few minutes the
conductor, engineer and trainmen were
standing around the body.
Upto this time they had not observed
the presence of little black dog, but as
soon as they approached his master he
made dash for the nearest man, and
for few seconds fought with all ibis
puny strength to keep the men away.
They were there for the purpose of
examining the body, however, to see
what could be done, and the little dog
was rudely kicked to one side. He did
not howl with pain as dog generally
does when kicked He simply gathered
himself up and quietly lmade his way
between the mems legs until he reached
his dead masters head, when he placed
bis little face by the side of his masters,
and after looking at the intruders few
seconds began to whine, and big tears
were noticed running down his nose.
II have often heard, !" said one OF the
witnesses, "that dogs have been known
to shed tears, but l never believed it
until then, and l have lotslmore respect
for the dog family than [ ever before
had. When I looked around at my
companions there was not dry eye. - --.-
"The old man, who was probably
section hand, was removed from the
track with more care than is usually dis
PLAYED in such cases. His blankets were
carefully spread, and his remains were
handled IS gently as a mother would
have done, and all on account of the
tears in that little dogs eyes. AS soon
as the dog discovered that our rough
ness had disappeared he became friend
ly, and seemed to appreciate what we.
were doing for his master, but we could
not induce him to leave his dead friend,
and when the train pulled in he twas
still sitting at the old mans head"
The old man was probably walking
down the track during the night when a
train came along and ran over him. Its
whole length must have passed over his
body, but strange as it may seem, there
were only a few bruises about the head.
He had been dead several hours when
found.

 We might apply these tentions" with much instruction ill various ways, but children at school i'll particular may profit much by remembering them.
 Let us take intention first. If a boy has sum to work out or lesson to learn by heart, he will not be likely to succeed unless he goes at it with a will or unless he intends to do it.
 Secondly, attention. If he is to succeed, boy must withdraw his thoughts from tops, balls, kites and such like. lie must not chatter with his schoolfellows, but he must for the time give his whole mind, or attend, , to the lesson before him.
