The Great Bird of Paradise the Most
Beautiful Known.

The great bird of paradise is the
most beautiful bird known to man.
1t is the largest of its species, be.
ing eighteen or twenty inches from
the tip of the beak to the tip of the
tail. The body, wings and tail are
brown and the breast deep violet.
The top of the head and neck are
straw yellow; the lower part of the
throat is emerald green. Across
the forehead extends band of green
plumes, fluffy and exquisitely deli
cate The two middle feathers of
the tail are not webbed, save at the
base and extreme tip, where they
spread out in graceful double curves.
These wirelike middle feathers are
two feet and three feet long. A
thick tuft Of yellow plumes arises
on each side OF the body, from be
meath the wings, and these can be
elevated and spread out at pleasure,
so that they almost hide the BODY.

The foot ball craze is worse than
pugilism in its worst form, and we
look on it to be greatly detrimental

grace themselves as they do! Better
by far give oar sons a common school

THE LAND OF SUNSHINE.
A Unique Country where the Skies are
almost Never ClOuded, while the
air is Cool and Bracing,
like Perpetual Spring.

AS an anomalous southern resort,
by reason of the fact that there one
may escape summer heat no less than
winter cold, New Mexico is rapidly be-
coming famous. Averaging through
out the entire territory 1900 feet in
altitude above sea-level, and charac-
terized by dry air which, unlike a
humid atmosphere, is incapable of
communicating heat, the temperature
in midsummer remains at a delight
fully comfortable degree through the
day, and at night becomes invariably
brisk and bracing. The sunshine is
almost constant, yet the most violent
out-of-door exertion may be undertake
en- without fear of distressful conse-
quences. Sunstroke or prostration
are absolutely unknown there. 1t is
an ideal land for summer outing
Its climate is prescribed by reputable
physicians as specific for pulmonary
complaints, and the medicinal Hot
Springs at Las Vegas are noted for
their curative virtues. The most
sumptuous hotel in the west, the
Montezuma, is located at these springs.

Enoch Up a Tree.

A paper in Western Nebraska
contains the outline of a story that
should be slung into undying verse
by poet as good as the author of
"Enoch Arden" Some years ago, in
the town where the paper is publish
ed, lived man who had a wife and
daughter, says the Nebraska State
Journal. He seemed to be prosper
Gus and his credit was good for any
thing he desired. One star light
night he disappeared, taking with
HIM nearly everything that wasn't
nailed down. He had made about
every man in town creditor and
when he went away the people took
themselves into outer darkness for a
while and walled and gnashed their
teeth.
The wife and dauf ter were treat
ed the same as the r~st They found
themselves destitute. The fiend in
human form who had so long officiat
ed as husband and father. had left
them not a dollar. The lady and her
daughter were, OF course, look ed
coldy upon for while, as people he
lieved them TO be in collision with
the departed. But they were not de
pressed by this. They went manful-
ly to work like little heroines in a
play; the mother did sewing and the
daughter did whatever she could get
'" do. They prospered as they de-
>ri ve-i u prosper. Tue old heroine
IN time established millinery store
which captured all the trade, while
the younger became the principal of
the schools. They had money in the
bank and could eat ice cream when
ever they wanted to.
The other day tramp called at
the back door of the lady's residence
and asked for drink and something
to eat. The good woman looked at
him intently and recognized her husl
band. And now the really beautiful
part of the story comes in Did the
lady kill the fatted calf for the prod
igal and bid him welcome and forget
the past? Not to any great extent.
She called the family dog, large
creature with penchant for human
remains, and no man ever climbed a
tree quicker than did the erring bus
band.

Louisiana Sinking Under Water.

For many years great cypress trees
have been found far underneath the
water along the Louisiana coast.
They could be traced with perfect
clearness, and there was no known
way of accounting for them. 1t is
now discovered, however, that the
coast of Louisiana is steadily sinking
into the Gulf of Mexico. Instead of
the hope that with successive wears
and the accretions of vegetable
growths the lowlands along the Mis-
sissippi would gradually rise and
overflow become less destructive, the
fact seems to be that in course of
time all these lands will be under
water. Thousands of acres have al
ready been abandoned to the swamp
and marsh, some of them acres which
before the war raised the finest sugar
cane in the country. Lands which
well within the memory of living
persons were formerly used as pas
lures for horses and cattle are now
wholly under water.
For many years it has been noticed
that the floods in the Mississippi
poured forth more and more tremen
deus currents. This was variouslv
attributed to the building of the le-
wees and to the cutting away of the
woodlands along the banks of the
tributaries of the great stream. Nov,
however, these increasing floods seem
traced to their real cause, the sink
ing of the land along the gulf coast
and the lower Mississippi The Gov
eminent guage of water depths at
the mouth of the Mississippi shows
that the land there has subsidized one
foot since 1877. The measurement
indicates that the Gulf of Mexico is
one foot higher at the mouth of the
river than it was Is years ago.
This is sinking of the land at
rather an alarming rate. To make
the fact of the subsistence absolutely
certain it is recalled that last fall
when the Mississippi was so low, the
gulf WAS lS inches higher than TIE
river and salt water flowed up stream
in such quantities as to incrust with
white deposit the boilers of the en-
gines Of sugar plantations that were
operated with water from the Mis-
sissippi.
Some writer, indulging a prophetic
fancy, not long since predicted that
time would come when the waters
of the gulf would stream up the Mis-
sissippi chanael to the ST. Lawrence
and the great lakes, making a sea
passage from New Orleans to New
foundland, through which the ships
of commerce would pass All this
country east of the Mississippi and
south of the ST. Lawrence would thus
be cut off to itself and become huge
insular continent. We may be as
sured, however. that this will moi
happen till we are all dead and gone

Whence Comes Our Candidates?

This talk about the Democratic
party eeing short of Presidential
timber is idiotic. The very fact the
party is not disposed to break into
factions, as the Republican party
does, over its worm eaten politicians,
is healthful sign
The other fact, that the Republi-
can party seems to have so many
conspicuous targets, IS an element OF
danger. What particular and dis
tinguishing traits of mind and char
aeter do any of these conspicuous
persons show, which discloses the
fact that they have any special
qualifications for the office of presi-
dent above fifty thousand other men
within the party lines, known and
unknown?
And it cannot be denied by per-
sons of general information that the
Democratic party is as generally
represented among the educated and
intelligent people of the country as
the Republican party A greater
number of the leading independent
newspapers which represent the ad.
vanced thought of the age are in line
with the Democratic party rather
than with the Republican party up
on the principles of their respective
creeds.
This array of Republican candi-
dates comes from persons who are
either in Congress or who have been
in Congress. Is the man, who by the
accidents of political conventions, so
often composed of men of ordinary
or inferior grades of intelligence, al
ways the most capable man of his
district, within his party? Are not
candidates often chosen geographic
ally, and more often by reason of
some element of personal popularity
by which they climb over the heads
of other men infinitely their super
iors?
What special qualifications does
Mr.. Mckinley possess for the office
of president beyond the fact that he
is popular in Ohio? He is called the
apostle of protection, yet his public
utterances show that he is densely
ignorant of the elementary principles
of his own gospel. He is VIGOROUSLY
weak executive officer, and a weak
executive in the office of president is
a public calamity
Mr.. Reed is better; it cannot be
denied that he is a good executive
officer, but unless the present appar-
ent change in his temper and dispo-
sition is real, he would only be Pres
ident of the Republican party and
dictator for the rest of the United
States.
As matters stand, after all this
talk of wealth of craftsmanship, Nc
K;nley and Reed are really the only
live candidates in the Republican
party to day, and two men more dis
similar In views temper and disposi-
ton, could not be found in the land.
II Mckinley is not nominated the
Democrats can carry Ohio with jim
my Campbell, who, in spite of land
slides, is man yet dear to the Dem
ocratic heart Butin any event, the
Democratic party will be able to pre-
sent candidate whom every Demo
crst will vote for, and there will be
no juggling and buying of negro
votes for defeated aspirants to make
note of ana publish to the world
as one of the greatest convention
scandals in American politics.
