Estimating q Horses Height.

The Arabs have two methods of esti-
mating the height to which colt will
grow, the first being to stretch a cord
from the nostril over the earsand down
along the neck and compare this meas
urement with that from the withers 10
the feet, and the other method being To
compare the distance between the knee
and the eoronet. In the first method il
is considered that colt will grow a.
much taller n the first measurement
exceeds that Of the second, and the
second method, if the proportion is as
two to one the horse viii grow no tall

of the entrance and another stands up
on the hill opposite, across the valley, a
distance of about third OF a mile,

Western Dust Storms.

There is no perfect climate on the
face of this round earth we call ours.
Paradise may afford such; but mean
while, between here and there, is
chance to make a variety of interest
ing observations. The dust storms Of
the "Great American Desert" are not
fully treated in the "attractions" of
various new towns issued by specula-
tors. The dust storms of Colorado,
New Mexico, Arizona-the whole des-
ert section in whatever State-are i'm
portant factors in the chances for COM
fort and success of the new settler.
The signs of Il coming dust storm are
many. The air is electric, feather
will cling TO the fingers, the sky is oft
times gray and streaked, the children
in the schools, even the primaries are
nervous. Suddenly the bits of paper
in the streets begin to whirl soon you
will see the dust coming like a rolling
storm cloud; the sky is obscured
everything out of doors is "on the iiy;'
the slim branches of the scant cotton
woods slash the air, and if you are un-
fortunate enough to be out of door,
your eyes, nose, and mouth will be iil.-
ed with alkali dust, while YOU are
striving to make headway against Il
whirlwind. Ii you are under cover,
you will hasten to drop windows and
shades; but the dust is so fine il will
penetrate whatever air can. The pat
tern of the carpet may be Obliterated,
and in some of the worst ones in New
Mexico an eyewitness has said that
drifts have been formed on the floor
from one to two inches in depth.
''HOw long does storm last?'
Sometimes an hour, sometimes three
days-coming with great violence at
intervals We have known one that
continued a week, with the exception
of one day for recess. The effect upon
a nervous temperament is distressing !;
there is desire to hide the head like
an ostrich to creep into some hole, to
cover the face so as not To see the wild
turmoil of whirling things The irrita-
bility is so great with some persons as
to eliminate in fits of weeping. This
is followed by exhaustion.
1t is not improbable that sand storms
had an influence in the building Of the
sscliff dvellinps -
\ dust storm may occur at any time
of the year, but the spring is especially
prolific. When the ''kamsin," the
wind from the desert, elbows" be it
summer or winter, the worst kind of Il
storm may ride on its wings.
The huge, cone-shaped mounds of
ossified structure, which stretch for
miles here and there on the plains, teS-
tify to the whirling winds that over a
thousand leagues of desert have had
their mad sweep for centuries.
BY some, dust storms are considered
scavengers. Some think the air seems
purer just after one, and 50 il does, on
the principle that the tooth feels better
when it is done aching. Some think
them heathful, as dry earth is disin-
fectant, but the injury to the throat
and 10 the nerves and the disastrous
effect on vegetation seem to overbal-
ance this consideration. - Hartford

Resubmissiou is q dead duck so far
as the present Legislature is concerned
at least that is what the papers say.
The measure passed the senate, but
when it came before the house, it was
indefinitely postponed-which means
that it will not be again taken up at
this session. Whether another meas
are can be originated and passed, re-
mains to be seen, but it is altogether
unlikely, as the vote showed a good
majority in the house against it. Our
representative, Hon Anton Svensrud,

to the expectations Of many in his
own county. But he has lost 40
friends and no political strength by
this action, as the future will show
him. 4. 4 81. n.

N. d. Siftings: Senator Rourkc's )
senate bill, relating to the rate Of in
terest that may be. charged and pre-
scribing penalties for taking usury,
makes material change in the pres
ent law. Under its provisions the
legal rate Of interest is fixed at I per
cent and 10 per cent may legally be
contracted for; on monthly loans l
per cent per month may be exacted.
Any greater rates than these are
usurions, and any person paying nsury
may recover back twice as much as
paid It also provides that all con-
tracts which draw q greater rate Of
interest than is allowed BY laW are
void, and may, on proper showing, be
Cancelled BY the court. a reduction in
the rates at interest, as contemplated
by the bill, is in the interest Of the
state III general, and its features re-
latlng to usury are q great improve
ment over the present law. The law
passed by the legistnre il 1890 was,
however, more effectual in stopping
The taking Of usury and more obnoxi-
GUS to money sharks. That law was
tested ID the supreme court in the
case at Wbited vs. the Vermont Loan
