Texas.

In the agricultural line Texas leads
all other states in the variety of its
products. Cotton, corn, and the cereals
grow and are raised in every section OF
the state and in the central and south
ern portions sugar cane and sorghum
cane are proftably cultivated. On the
Gulf Coast two or three crops of veg
etables are raised each year. Berries
are shipped six weeks in advance of
the home crop in the north. Pears,
peaches, plums, oranges, figs, olives,
and nuts all grow abundantly and can
be marketed from two to three weeks
in advance of the California crops
Large quantities of rice are now grown
IT the land seeker, the home seeker,
and the settler desires to secure a
farm larger than the one he occupies,
on vastly more reasonable terms; if he
wants more land to cultivate, a greater
variety of crops to harvest, with pro-
portionately increased remuneration,
with less outlay for cost of production;
If he wants an earlier season, with
correspondingly hihger prices; if he
wants milder winters, all the year pas
turage for his stock, improved health,
increased bodily comforts, and wealth
and prosperity he should go to Texas

Dead Macs Claim.

Among the rich i,ines Of Leadville Ia
one called Dead Mans Claim" II
seems u certain popular miner had
died. and his friends, having decided
TO give him good send-off, hired a
man for $50 to act as sexton. It was
IN the midst Of winter; there was ten
feet Of snow ON the ground, and the
grave had to go six feet below that.
The grave digger sailed forth into the
snow, depositing the corpse for safe
keeping in drift, and for three days
nothing was heard from him. A dele
cation sent to find the fellow discov-
cred him digging away with all his
might, but found also the intended
grave converted into the entrance of q
shaft Striking the earth, it seems, he
had found pay rock worth 500 ton.
The delegation ut once staked out
claims adjoining his and the deceased
was forgotten. Later in the season,
the snow having melted, his body was
found and given an ordinary burial in

GEMS OF THOUGHT.

No quality will ever get a man more
friends than sincere admiration o.
the qualities of others. 1t indicates
generosity of nature, frankness. cor.
diality and cheerful recognition of mer.
its.-Dr. Johnson.
Finish every day and be done with
it, You have done what you could
Some plumbers and absurdities, nc
doubt, crept in; forget them as soon as
you can. Tomorrow is a new day; be-
gin it well and serenely, and with too
high a spirit to be numbered with your
old nonsense. This day is all that is
good and fair 1t is too dear, with its
hopes and invitations, to waste a mo-
ment on the yesterdays Emerson.
The difficulties of democracy are the
opportunities Of education. If our
education be sound, If it lay due en-
phasis on individual responsibility for
social and political progress, if it coun-
teracts the anarchistic tendencies that
grow out Of selfshness and greed, If it
promote patriotism that reaches
further than militant jingoism and
gunboats, then we may cease to have
any doubts as to the perpetuity and in
tegrity of our institutions. Prof. Mich.

A PECULIAR FISH.
The TurbOt's ban and Socket Wsps Are
of Black and GoltN

The Turbot's Hall and Socket NSps Are
of Black and GoltN
Lying limp and Shiny or EBnmon,
gers slab, or dry and sandy nj tho
Dutch flshwlves' baskets, the turbOt
is perhaps the least interesting fish
says the London Spectator. When
swimming in an artificial sea or lying
on tho sandy bottom It is the most at
tractive of all the denizens of this
mock ocean, and whether at rest or In
motion has an air Of vigilance, vivacity
and intelligence greater than that OF
any of the normally shaped fish. This
is in part due to its habits and in part
to the expression of the fiat fish's eye,
This, which is sunk and invisible in the
dead fish, is raised on kind of turret
in the living turbot, or sole, and set
there In half-revolving apparatus,
working almost as independently as the
ball and socket eyes Of the chame-
leon. There is this difference, how
ever, in the eye of the lizard and of
the fish-the iris of the chameleon is
a mere pinhole at the top Of the eye
ball, which is thus absolutely without
expression. The turbot's or butts"
eyes are black and gold and intensely
bright, with none of the fixed, star
ing stupid appearance of ordinary
fishes eyes. 1t lies upon the sand and
jerks its eyes Independently into posi-
ton, to survey any part of the ground
surface, and the water above or that
on either side at any angle. If 1t had
light rays to project from its eyes in
stead Of to receive the effect would be
precisely that made by the sudden shift
ing Of the iointed apparatus which
casts the electric light from war ship
at any angle on to sea, sky or horizon.
The turbots, though ready, graceful
swimmers, moving in wave-llke undu-
lations across the water or dashing off
like flash when so disposed, usually
lie perfectly still upon the bottom.
They do not, like the dabs and foun-
ders, cover themselves with sand, for
they mimic the color of the ground with
such absolute fidelity that except for
the shining eye it is almost impossible
to distinguish them. 1t would appear
that volition plays some part in this
subtle conformity to environment, for
one turbot, which is blind, has changed
to tint too light and not at all in har-
nony with that Of the sand.
