know that it was worth three or four times

OF all the wonderful creations Of nature
few will excite greater Amusement if given
microscopic examination and careful atten

chance of contact with others Of its species,
Within a surprisingly short period it will
give birth to others of its kind. Instantly
isolate the new arrivals, and after they
have acquired certain growth it will be
noted that they, too, are reproducing their
kind, just as their progenitor had done, all
OF which proves that these beings of ex-
traordinary fecundity are real androgynous
creatures without distinctive sex.
During the spring and early summer all
vine fretters are viviparous-that is, they
bring forth their young alive. Toward the
beginning of autumn, strange as it may
seem, all is changed among the new as

1.-THE Pima Indian is taking naturally
to hats, trousers, shoes and all the things
that decade ago he despised as frivolous
and useless innovations, said a man from
Arizona. HE has tasted of the white
mans canned salmon and has found it
good. He has tasted of the white mans
fire water, ana he desires closer acquaint-
ance with people who can evolve so
much tribulation and joy combined from a
single peck of grain. He has even tried
the plan of working a little, instead of
lolling in the wattamotie wickiup while
the squaw rustled for feed The expert
ment of work has proved satisfactory, for
did it not bring forth large white pieces Of
metal, which the white man was pleased
to accept in payment for tobacco and even
for the water that brought back on gal
lop the blithesome days of boyhoodH And
another thing TO be considered is that the
jack rabbit is becoming scarce, and the
Pima who would have meat must raise 1t
himself. They have not quite come to the
point where the COWS are kept for milking
purposes, but they will get there before
long. Within another decade will come
time when from the Pima nation may be
picked many individuals who will bear
almost every qualification that is deemed
essential to American citizenship. New

1t is certain that too indiscriminate
application of water is double poison to
nervous patients 1t is, on the other side,
incontestable that water applications in
the right measure and in n manner adapt
ed to the character of the affection are ex-
cellent. Equally advantageous for them
are going barefooted, when properly pre-
scribed, and the air bath. In connection
with the water and air cures, certain res

stages of disease, be applied passively by
massage and similar operations. Among
other things, gardening and other occupa-

Sorrow and shadow follow on thy Joy.

Haste thee, bind thy wounds nor count tho

Bitter and sweet are thine till these go by.

Reckon thy voyage well and spread the sail;
Wind and calm and current shall warp thy
Compass shall set thee false and chart shall

Ever the waves will use thee for their play.
It's all in lifetime.

Thousands of ages hence the same shall be.
Naught of thy joy and grief is new or strange;
Gather apace the good that falls to thee!

The water was breast deep, and the caval-
cade galloped in with a recklessness that
so astounded the savages that they made
no attack. The cannon was dragged
through under water. The party halted
after crossing, put the gun in position on
line of battle, and the Indians made no at
tempt TIC seize the advantage.

unknown regions of the Columbia and went
so far north as To catch sight of the snow
covered peaks of Washington Late in No

ing to cross from the lower Columbia TO
the upper Colorado and then east TO the

latitude of San Francisco Deep SHOWS and
extreme cold had forced them into the tenn
perate cline of the Great Basin.
An examination of the horses showed
that they could not hold out TO recross the
Rocky mountains eastward and in spite of

Fremont decided to break through the 81

A better day is coming, girls
Just wait a little longer.

Its light is growing stronger.

Fresh spoils of conquest bringing,
And on the higher planes of life
The birds of hope are singing.

It's stirring notes are telling.
Blind prejudice and hoary wrongs
Are swiftly disappearing,
And woman, pleading for her own,
Commands respectful hearing.
Through storms of ridicule and scorn
They bore their cause undaunted
Till through the land, from shore TO shore,
Its burning truths are planted.
Their light is shining brightly, girls.
Each year tits growing stronger.
Truth must prevail and error fall

In Portugal, where all hereditary titles
have been abolished and where they are
held only for life it is possible to become
duke, marquis, count or baron by the
payment of relatively small sums of mon
ey into the national treasury There are
any number of English and other foreign
merchants engaged in Portuguese trade
who have acquired high sounding titles
in this manner.
In Italy, too any title can be obtained
by the payment of money. There is reg
ular fixed tariff, the cash paid being de
scribed as registration dues" Thus ey-

The Snow fakes Power.

''They deem us frail and tiny and of but little
worth.
Wen show the people if'rently that live down
on the earth"
Thus said the queen Of snowfakes in their con-
vention hall,
When they resolved, their might to prove, all
from on high TO fall.
They came in great battalions; they fell for
days two, three;
They mantled all the hilltOps and shrouded
dale and lea,
And then they rudely frolicked with northern
wind 30 bold,
Who roughly tumbled, drifting high in every
track and void.
Twas thus the mighty steam horse, upon his
iron track,
Could not his burden pull ahead or even push
IL back.
The fragile, tiny snowflakes thus proved their
might and power
BY stopping traflic's iron horse for many
dreary hour.
