A Favored Region.

Colorado and New Mexico orchard
lists arc exempt from all disaster from
drought, such as has diminished the
crops and profits Of eastern fruit
growers this year In the far western
arid country. where growers must de-
pend wholly upon irrigation for
moisture for their orchart.s. the ex-
pense Of ditching Is compensated by
the good result that they can abso-
lutely regulate the water supply the
trees shall receive The soil of the
Rocky Mountain slopes is peculiarly
adapted for fruits, grapes and berries
and the people Of those regions more
and more are entering upon this
branch Of farming. In New Mexico
orchards are being planted on q scale
rivaling those Of California, with the
advantage that finer quality Of fruit
can be raised to be sold In much
nearer market. A scheme is now
under way to plant ten-thousand-
acre orchard in the Pccos valley, near
Roswell, with the intention that two
thousand acres Of trees shall be set
out this fall A Missouri firm will
plant one thousand acres of land to
apple trees this autumn in Chavez
county, and in several places in that
county the preparations for setting out
hundreds Of acres are being made.
The shipment Of grapes to the east
from the upper and middle Rio Grande
valleys has for years been an impor-
cant and increasing item Of railroad
Neight, and this fruit commands
Price usually half higher than the
California grapes

Cumberland The rival stage coaches
raced all the way from that town to

was a stop every ten miles to exchange
horses, the time allowed for what was

PAYMAsrERs' clerks in the navy occu-
ny an anomalous position, The clerk
is civilian, though he wears an Off
GERS uniform and is more or less sub
ject to naval discipline. He is not per-
manently engaged, but many clerks
remain for ten fifteen or twenty years,
often following the paymaster from one
billet to another and passing from
paymaster to paymaster, according to
the exigencies of the service. The
clerk is fairly well paid, and his posi-
ton aboard ship is dependent almost
solely upon his own personal character.
The paymaster of force and sense
makes himself felt and respected in
both steerage and ward room.

fish-eating sea birds, which can be
secured by the million on the low, un-

coast. They are not fit for food and
the albumen alone is taken from them
in making dessicated eggs. The patent

Considerable use is now being made
of the newly introduced French article
to which the name of subirine has been
given The substance consists of pull
veriZCd cork of different degrees Of fine
ness, known as impalpable, fine, medi-
uIn and coarse, the pulverization being
effected by very simple means, such as
a horizontal glindstOne. Among these
the medium powders have for some
time been employed i'll the French navy
and by various navigation companies
for painting the sheet iron and parti-
tiOnS Of tho insilcs Of vessels. The effect
of such Goa sings is said to be to consider
ably diminish the conductibility of the
sheet iron and the vibrations so un-
pleasant which are produced as soon as
the sea becomes little rough. Another
use for those cork powders is i'll the
preparation Of Il substance called lie
gine, which consists Of the powder
mixed with fine plaster in the proper
ton Of about 10 per cent. This liegine
composition is turned out in all shapes
and sizes and is stated to Ec specially
useful as il protection alike from heat
or cold, or for partitions, roofs, lofts,
ceilings and coatings of all descrip-
tions; also rs packing for boilers, ice
houses, conserva1prics, coverings for
wagons, steam pipes, and similar uses
in short, for the large number of
cases where it is desirable to maintain
an equal temperature. New York Sun.

Ex-tTes1uenG harrison, IN ADDRESSING
the chamber of commerce at Cincin-
natl, said he believed the wealth, energy,
enterprise and wisdom of the American
people would bring redress to the pres
ent depression. The pathway of help
was that which led to the ballot-box,
and no man and no association counsel
ing the redress of wrongs by lawlessness
would be tolerated by the people, and
thinking, patriotic people of all parties
will unite to sustain an administration,
from constable to the president, in
support of law.
Sui day plcycifsts if England have b.
come a vast army. Lord William Cecil,
rector of Hatfield, proposes to bring the
church into direct relations with this

1nent to cyclists to visit his church, he
has provided special seats for their use,
with due equipment of prayer and hymn
books, and has made arrangements
whereby all machines are to be kept un-
der lock and key while the riders are at
their devotions. Notices to this effect
have been posted at all inns. Lord Cecil
Is the second son OF Lord Salisbury.
A bill has been introduced in the

lynching. 1t provides that the heirs of
any person killed by lynching party
in the state shall recover the sum of
$4,000. In case only personal injuries
are inflicted the l'erson so injured shall
recover the sum of $4,000, and the per-
sons found guilty of participation in the
lynching shall lie sent to the peniten-
tiary for d term of not less than three
years. The sum awarded the victim of
a lynching shall be made a lien upon the
tax levy of the county where the trouble
occurs, to be collected as taxes from the
citizens of such county. The attorney
general is authorized to assist in all
prosecutions under the act.

"The danger that confronts the great Ameri-
can people to-day is not the possible adcp
ton of a wrong financial policy for the
nation, or the spread of socialism, or the
increase of corruption among public men.
ALL these are bad enough. to be sure, but
they are as nothing compaied to the te. rble
national disease had almost said national
crime-of overwork The mad rush for
wealth is set at a killing pace, and thousands
fall by the way every year.
