Christmas Tree in England.

Christmas trees were unknown in
England until the reign Of Queen Vic
toria. After the present Prince Of
Wales had become three or four years
old, Prince Albert ornamented Christ
mas tree for the amusement Of the in
fant Prince. The idea pleased the peo-
pie; and as Christmas trScs were every
yc.r made a feature Of court celebra-
ton, the fashion soon spread among
the English.

IL has been found in most cases
that insomnia is caused by disor-
dered stomach, says an authority. Be-
tween the stomach and the brain
there is close communion, and when
one is out OF order the other is not
only apt, but sure to be. Worry will
unsettle the stomach, as indigestion
will initiate the blood vessels OF the
brain. Recognizing this. medical men
are now ordering the use of hot water
internally and externally. Before
going to bed the persons SO afflicted
should bathe the feet in hot water, as
hot as possible. This is for the pur-
pose of drawing the blood from the
head, for when the blood vessels are
inflated they press against the skull,
and fears, apprehensions and dread OF
going to sleep result. But with the
hot water application the blood is cir
culated, and the pressure relieved

The past year was very active one
with cattle exporters, the volume OF
business being the largest in the
history OF the trade. The New York

it, says: "The number Of cattle

value OF such exports showed gain Of
upwards OF $9,000.000. Boston heads

PIUTE LONGEVITY,

The mortality record Of the Piute
Indians is far below that Of the usual
average OF paleface communities on
the authority of Matches, the Nestor,
statistician and oral historian of that
tribe, says the Virginia Chronicle. He
asserts with dogmatic air that brooks
no contradiction that not more than
ten deaths from natural causes have
occurred in his tribe during the past
four years. The Indian population Of
Nevada, according to the census statis-
tics OF 1890 was over 5000, three
fourths OF that number belonging to
the Piute tribe.
In reply to the inquiry OF what had
become OF the large number OF griz-
zled old bucks obtrusively in evidence
in this part OF the State ten years age? :?
Matches said that Of lste years they
have been retiring them to the reser-
vations at Pyramid and Walker lakes.
This is an improvement on the old
method in vogue prior to the settle
ment Of the State by whites, viewed
from the standpoint Of the superanu-
ated contingent. In those days when
Piute OF either sex became too old to
accompany the tribe on its Summer
wanderings he or she, as the case
might be. was picketed out like a
horse under the shade OF some tree
with sufficient food to support life for
= few days and after that was ex-
hausted to patiently wait for the end.
Fremont in his memoirs mentions
an instance Of this kind that fell under
his observation while traversing Hum
boldt county on his way to the Pacific
Coast. After going into camp one
night Fremont and Kit Carson were
making a reconnaissance and came
upon an aged Piute squaw who had
been tied TO tree and left to die by a
party Of Piutes.

san Franci.co society Faker..

Society women in San Francisco
rush into public print to declare that
the Bradley-Martins of New York
have a right to do what they want
with their money, and that it is i'm
pertinence on the part Of the church
and the press to dare to criticize them
because they will give a $3.50. 900
masquerade ball.
So it would be, il that were the "be-
all and the end-all" OF the entire mat
ter. But the extravaganza is merely
cloak to hide the sycophancy, the
kneeling to forms OF monarchy, the
aping CT royalty, the open and undis-
guised contempt for American institu-
tions and the American people.
1t is no wonder that the Bradley
Mar tins are defended in this matter
by the society danes OF California's 8
metropolis, when the fact is recognized
that many of the latter sport crests
cribbed from some work OF heraldry.
To those acquainted with the early
history OF this State, it is extremely
laughable to see one OF these fool
women sporting a gorgeous coat OF
arms at the top of her correspondence
taking upon diseusted people some
symbol Of the middle ages, when her

NO MONEY NEEDED.
Mistakes Regarding the Newspaper
Business Corrected.

Business Corrected.
"It takes money to run a news-
paper" says the ST. John, Kansas,
News. To this absurd statement the
Emporia Gazette replies as follows:
What an exaggeration What a
whopper! II has been disspproved a
thousand times; it is a clean case OF
airy lunacy. 1t doesn't take money to
run newspaper. 1t can run without
money. II is a charitable institution,
q begging concern. highway robber.
A newspaper is the child Of the air !;
a creature OF a dream. Ii can go on
aud on, when other concerns would be
in the hands OF a receiver aud wound
up with cobwebs in the window.
II takes wind to run q newspaper;
it takes gall to run a newspaper. II.
takes scintillating, acrobatic imagins-
ton. and half dozen white shirts and
a railroad pass to run newspaper.
But money--heavens to Betsy and six
hands round, who ever needed money
in conducting newspaper? Kind
wor DIS are the medium OF exchange
that do business for the editor-kind
words and church social tickets.
When you see an editor with money
watch him. He will be paying his
bills and disgracing his profession.
Make him trade it out. He likes to
swap.
Then when you die, after having
stood around for years and sneered at
the editor and his little jim crow
paper, be sure and have your wife
send for three extra copies, by one OF
your weeping children. aud when she
reads the generous and touching no
tice about you, forewarn her not to
send Is cents to the editor. II would
overwhelm him. Money is corrupt
thing. The editor knows it and what
he wants is your heartfelt thanks.
Then he can thank the printers and
they can thank the grocers.
Take your job work to other towns
and then come and ask for half rates
for the church notices. Get your
lodge letter heads and stationery away
from town and then food the editor
with beautiful thoughts in resolutions
OF respect and cards Of thanks. They
make such spicy reading. and when
you pick it up filed with those glow
ing and vivid mortuary articles, you
are 80 proud Of your little paper.
But money, scorn the filthy thing
Don't let the poor innocent editor
know anything about it. Keep that
for sordid tradespsople who charge for
their wares. The editor gives bis
bounty away. The Lord loves a cheer
full giver. He'll take care OF the editor.
Don't worry about the editor. He has
charter from the State to act as door
mat for the community. He will get
the paper out somehow, and stand up
for the town and whoop ii up for you
when you run for Office, and lie about
your daughters tacky wedding and
blow about your big-footed sons when
they get "a week job, and weep over
your shriveled soul when it is released
from your grasping body, and smile at
your giddy wife's second marriage.
Don't worry about the editor; he'll
get on. The Lord only knows how
but somehow.
