THE GULF OF MEXICO.
Changes Taking Place in Its Water
 Level

Changes Taking Place in Its Wates
 Level
 According to the engineers of the hydrographic bureau the level of the Gulf of Mexico is one foot higher than it was in 1859, and, of course, the en- crOachment on the surrounding coasts has been greater or less, pending on their character. In some places, says the St. Louis Republic, where the mar ginal lands are composed of high, rocky bluffs, this change of level has gone or from year to year without attracting attention. On the other hand many low-lying points (some that were once inhabited by the primitive inhabitants, or by the pioneer white settlers), are entirely submerged. The cause of this change of level has not as yet been aseertained, but it is reasonably eer- tain that it is the result of either set ting of the dry land or of a general and uniform rising or upheaval in the gulf bed. No man who has given the matter moments thought will argue that there Is more water in the gulf now than there was thirty-fve years ago; on the contrary, there isn't the least doubt but that there is much less. However this may be, if this aqueous encroachment is steadily maintained, Keokuk will be a Geep-water harbor and St. Louis and the whole of Missouri will be entirely submerged in less than forty thousand years from January 1, 1SQ5

Like Q Sieve.

The chief function of the kidneys is to separate from the blood, in it's pas sage through them, of certain impurl- ties and watery particles which make their final exit through the bladder. The retentions of these, in conseqence of inactivity of the kidneys, is product i've of Briyht's disease, dropsy, diabetes, albuminuria and other maladies with a fatal tendency. Hostetter's Stomach Bltters, a highly sanctioned diuretic and Jlood depurer t, impels the kidneys when inactive to renew thelr sift ng function, and strain from the vital current i'm puritIes which infest It and threaten their own existence as organs of the body. CaLarrh of the bladder, gravel and reter tion of the urine are also mala- dies arrested or averted by this benigc promoter and restorative of organic ac- tion. Malaria, rheumatism, const Ds- tion, bIliousness and dyspepsia also yield to the Bitters, which is also speed fly beneficial to the weak and nervous.

Where Do Looking Glasses Cor

What becomes of the looking glasses? The annual manufactures in Europe at the present time is about eighteen hundred and fifty square yards of look ing-glass- Can it be that to their de- struction much of the ill-luck of the race IS due? Glass mirrors are sup posed to have been first used in Sidon, and were very expensive for long time after their introduction. A letter written in 1873 says that even if mir TOTS had been manufactured in France at that time only the king would have been rich enough to have one. In ancient times polished metals were used, and grand ladies gave their mir TOTS in charge of slaves to be kept bright enough to faithfully reproduce the charms of their owners.

FIGURES WON'T LIE.
What Figures Are in Reference to
 County Division.

| county O1v1s1ous
 Ia the Border Vioeite of the 2d in stant there IS sn article headed, "FiR ures Wont Lie." Now while figures may not lie they are frequently made to deceive, and that the party who made the figures in that article was endeav- bring 10 deceive somebody IS beyond question.
 The article was written in the inter ests of county division of Pima county, and intended to make the people living withIn its boundaries believe they are possessed of more wealth, and better able to support a county government han they ready are. I think the citi- zsns of the proposed new county should be shown their exact situation and then If they determined to go they will have no cne to blame but themselves in the future.
 Iu the first place the article states that the valuation of the taxable prop erty within the new county lines is S93S,- 504. Ths is an error. The amount of property within the limits of the new including the New Mexico & Arizona railway, as taken from the as- roll of Pima county for the year 1894 was S765, 900. He then goes on to state that under the tax levy of P,ma couptf S3.15 on each S100 of va luation the sum of S29. .562.S7 would be raised from which he deducts the sum of Si,552, the amount required to pay the interest on their assumed portion of th- county debt, leaving them the sum of s25,O10 for county expenses: from this amount he deducts the sum of s6,- 900 for salaries of officials, and leaves the nice little sum of S1S,11045 for in- c;dental expenses, very fine showing, that figures don't lie."
 Hele are the correct figures, however, and I submit them 10 the tax payers of the proposed Papago county for them to ponder over. In the first place, as 1 have stated before, you have only S765 ,OOO property inthe new county limits. Now take the tax levy of Pima of s 15, which is for the follow ing purposes, VIZ.

ty general fund.
 This tax on your s765, 100 would raise you the sum of S8, 415 for the current expenses of your county, PROVIDING you could collect every dollar. It is the custom, however, to allow 20 per cent for delinquencles; this would cut the amount down to s6,762, or s17S short of enough to pay the salaries of your coun- ty officials, with not one cent for your incidental expenses, such as are required to ruu courts county jails, hospitals and numerous other expenses incidental to a county government.
 These are correct figures, now if you thlnk you can support county govern ID. nt on such 8 showing, go 1t.
