Precipice by the Fierce Wind.

Precipice by the Fierce Wind
Near Cheyenne Wells is a long stretch
of level prairie, which suddenly ter
inmates in a precipice, making per
pendicular descent of perhaps so feet
to another plain below. In the winter
of 1858 a great blizzard ragged for several
days. The snow was driving at q terrific
rate before a hurricane OF wind, and
the bufaloes wereobliged, In self-preser-
walton, to turn their backs and run with
the wind. The result was that vast
numbers of the bufaloes were carried
over the precipice, and their dead bod
les were covered with 20 or 30 feet OF
snow. For many years people visited
the spot TO look at the bones, which lay
in piles ten and fifteen feet high as far
as the eye could reach along the preci-
pice, and it was commonly estimated
that 100, 900 buffaloes found grave on
that fatal spot.
Sand-storms in those days were 50

freighters To lose their entire outfit,
During the prevalence of a storm no
attempt was made to move forward.
and drivers cleared the sand out of the
nostrils of the horses and oxen, as other
wise the animals were threatened with
death from snffocation. A sandstone
usually lasted only two or three hours,
but its effects were felt for days by men
and animals exposed to the fury of the
blast
A curious phenomenon noticed in diff
ferent places on the plains was the i'm
mense excavating power of the wind in
a sand storm. There were areas of
three or four acres, where the wind
scooped out the sand 40 or so feet deep,
and whirled it away in the air. II
seemed as if the work began at a central
spot no larger than could be covered
with a mans hat. In an incredibly
short time round hole would be exca-
waited. The wind then took hold in
real earnest, and the probabilities were
that an entire sand-hill would be
leveled down in the next 80 minutes

Position and Sleep.

How many people are in the habit Of
troubling themselves about the exact
point Of the compass to which their
heads happen to be pointed when they
lay themselves down for their nocturnal
rest2 One might have gone on suppos-
ing, but for the irrepressible Sir Benjar
min Richardson, that it did not in the
least matter whether the head Of ones
bedstead were turned north, south, east
or west. But Sir Benjamin is full Of
theories on the subject, and now that he
has expounded them we are In a posi-.
ton to know chat if we turn face
to the west, like Daddy in the en-
timental ballad, we ought to get the
soundest sleep, because in that case "the
earth's motion will tend to send the
blood to the head"
Here is a suggested euro for insomnia
which Is at least worth a trial, and In
future a compass should be an jndis-
pensable article Of furniture In every
we'll regulated bedroom. 1t may sadly
disorganize not a few bodchambers to
arrange the adoption Of this westward
position, which may in some cases cause
almost as much trouble as the reverse
position has occasioucd from time to
time In the ecclesiastical world. But
Sir Benjamin Richardson has spoken,
and it only remains for those who &C.
cept him as an oracle to point their bed
heads due west at all costs and without
delay. London Letter.

1t will be in order for a few days, al
ways providing Mckinley is elected, for
the Associated Press wires to be bur.
dened with stories of wool going up to 20
cents per pound, of manufacturing
plants being opened up, new enterprises
started, the railroads doubling their
traffic capacity and every idle mar find
ing employment. This was what was
promised in the event of McKinley's
election, and there is no reason why the
promises should not be kept, unless, in
deed, they we're only campaign stories
sent out with the deliberate intent to
deceive. For our part, we have never
taken any stock in such reports and un-
til every pledge is redeemed we see no
reason for believing any of them.
