NO DANGER OF CATTLE COMPETE

But There Are Great Grazing Grounds
There. Nevertheless-Prosperity
Strikes the Cherokee Ma
tiOn-PersonaI Points.

While much is heard of the great grazing
grounds of South America, and the thou
sands of cattle slaughtered there for their
hides. there need be little fear by our cat
tlemen of any serious competition from
that country upon the English market II
the following from the Chicago Tribune
Is to be believed:
. the banks OF the La Plata and the
rivers that form il. in Argentina, the
Banda, Orienta and Paraguay. vast herds
of cattle Were formerly pastured. but
most of those in the latter country We're
destroyed during the disastrous war with
Brazil. while the agriculturists along tho
banks ov the rivers in Argentina. wher-
ever navigation is practicable. have driven
the cattle raiSerS to the h~eadwaters of the
streams. There are vast plains in the
southern portion OF this republic. It Is true.
where the grass is luxuriant and the eli
mate suitable TO cattle Raising. These will
probably become the great grazing ground
OF the world next century. but scarcity of
water during. a portion of the year renders
Them unavailable until engineering skill
steps in and COrrects nature. AT present
the supply of beef from this region is
poor In quality and not rapidly increasing.

Doctors Mistake.

Many times women call on their fam
lily physicians, suffering, as they i'm
agine, one from dyspepsia, another
from heart disease, another from liver
or kidney disease, another from ner-
vOus exhaustion or poStraLion, an
other with pain here anu there, ana in
this way they all present, alike to
themselves and their easy-goIng and
indifferent, or over-busy doctor,
separate aud distinct diseases, of which
he prescrloes his pills and potlons, as
Stunning them to be such. when in
reality, they are only symptoms caused
by some womb disorder. The phys clan
ignorant of the Cause Of suffering, en-
courages his ''practice'' until large
bills are made. The suffering patient
gets no better, but probably worse, by
reason OF the delay, wrong t'ea.-
ment and consequent complications.
A proper medicine, ike DR.. PIerce's
Favorite Prescription, directed TO the
cause would have entirely removed the
disease, thereby dtspelling all those
distressing symptoms, aud instiiut4ng
comfort ms cad of protonged misery.
The medicine enables a sensitive, mod
est woman to avoid the unnecessary
physicians denominations and the
generally useless and stereoty ped
local application treatment.

How the Continents Were Formed.

If molten matter exists beneath the
crust of the earth, it must contract on
cooling, and in SO doing it must d is tur
the level of the portion of the crust al

ference of opinion arose as to the exact
rationale of such changes Hutton,
and practically every on else who ac-
copied his theory, had supposed that
there are long periods of relative re-
pose, during which the level of the
crust is undisturbed, followed by short
periods of active stress. whan CONT

time, but all changes in level of the
strata as a whole have been gradual,
by slow oscillation, or at most by re-
ptated earthquake shocks such as are
still often experienced.
In support of this very startling con-
tention Lyell gathered a mass of evil
dence of the recent changes in level of
continental areas. He corroborated
by personal inspec ton the claim which
Lad been made by Playfair In 1902, and
by Won Buch in 1907, that the coast-line
OF Sweden is rising a. the rate of from
few inches to several feet'in century.
He CITED Darwin's observations gong
tt prove that Patagonia is similarly
rising, and Pingel's claim that Green
land is slowly sinking. Proof as to
sudden changes of level of several feet,
over large areas, due to earthquakes,
was brought forward In abundance.
Cumulative evidence left it no longer
open to question that such oscillatory
changes of level, either upward or
downward, are quite the rule, and it
could rot be denied that these observed
changes if continued long enough in
one direction, would produce the high
est elevations. The possibility that
the ma king of even the highest ranges
of mountains had been accomplished
without exaggerated catastrophe &C.
ton came to be freely admitted.
IL became Clear UQaL the supposedly
stable land surfaces are in reality
much more variable than the surface
of tae ''sh fling sea- that continental
ma sse5, seemingly SO fixed, are really
, rising and falling in pillows thousand
of feet in height, ages instead of mo-
mentS being consumed in the sweep be-
tween crest and hollow.
These slow oscillations of land sur
. faces b ling understood, many geologi-
Cal enlgmas were made clear-such as
the alienation of marine aud fresh
water formations in vertical series,
which Cuvier and Brongniart had OBJ
served near Paris: or the sandwiching
of layers of coal, of subaerial formation
between layers of subAqueous C ay or
sandstone, which may be observed
everyw here in the coal measures. In
PARTICULAR. the extreme thickness of
the sc ilmeut ary strata as whole,
many exec ding the depth of the deep
est known sea, was for the first me
expl cable when it was understood tn at
such strata had formed in slowly sink
ing ocean beds.

The above trio of McGinty celebri-
ties are the gentlemen who have had
mostly at heart and in pocket the vel
fare of the musical organizations of the
McGinty club, and are too we'll known
to Ell Paso people to need any special
introduction. Mr.. Reckhart is the
president of the club. and in saying
that he is the one to whom the contin-
uance of the club is III psGy due, does
no Injustice to his jealous compadres.
He has giveE much more time to the
advancement of the band, orchestra
and other organizations connected with
the club than really the interests of his
buiness warranted. But his enthus-
iasm has never tagged, and be is con-
fident that with the growth Of the town
the band will have inside the next
two years over fifty m mbrrs

water works, as treasurer Of the Nc
Ginty club, has ever baen Mr. Reck-
harris right bower and support in must
cal matters Mr.. Watts is conserva-
tive man, and at times may no axe haste
slowly. But it is often the best policy
to have man associated in control of
any organization who makes sure his
steps before taking them, and the band
and orchestra especi lily have realized
the value of Mr.. Watts counsel and
and advi e. With Mr.. Reckhirt he
has shared expenses not always expect
ed, but necessary in maintaining the
band, and his interest has remained I'M
aba,ed In the advancement of local mil
itary band music.
Professor Carl Pitzer has proved
himself an able bandmaster in the
years he has been musical director of
the McGinty club. He has striven
steadily TO bring the players up to a
higher and higher standard of efficien-
cy, and through his earnest, persistent
and we'll directed efforts, backed by
substantial encouragement from the
other officers of the CLUB, Prof. Pi:zrr
has brought the band % VIII IRE it has a

Piizer came from Erlan gen in Germany

Musical affairs cannot go along on
the present lines in America and exist,
says the Musical Courier. The annual
incursion of foreign stars Is not only a
detriment to our own national develop
ment in music. but it destroys the
necessary individuality, curtails ambi-
ton, enervates energy and annlhllates
the means of subsistence.
We must give recognition to our
native boys and girls; but they will
forever be relegated to church choirs,
to choruses. to small concerts in one
night towns and to obscurity until this
prejudice against them has been re-
moved, and it cannot be removed so
long as the foreign high salary robber
comes over here to demOralize our
musical life.
The Eighth cavalry of the City OF
Mexico, will include in its Itinerary,
the cities of New Orleans. Mobile,
Montgomery. Atlanta, L nchburg,
Washington, Baltimore and Philadel-
phia. This band has some seven or
eight saXaphones. and the trip will GER
tainly result in impressing the Amer
lean pu bic more than ever with the
advantage to be gained by the presence
of this beautiful instrument in military
bands.
Basil Crump, secretary of the Eng
land Philosophical society, lecturing in
New York, will try to show that Wag-
ner besides being a poet-musician, was
a theosOphist of great depth and power,
who taught in his dramas the deepest
secrets of his soul. In support OF his
Mr.. Crump will quote pass
ages from Wagner's prose writings.
The band men are glad to see Ray
Pol ard back. He has taken up the
bass horn again with energy, and in a
couple of weeks will have his clip"
back again as of yore. 1t was Mr..
Pollard who presented the McGintv
band with the first of its sheet music,
the overture to Fra Diavolo.

1t will be evident in any region where
the strata are tilted-as, for example,
the AIleghan ies-that great folds of
strata which must once have risen
miles in height have in many cases
been worn entirely away, so that now
a valley marks the location of the
former eminepce. Where the strata
are level, as in the case of the noun
tains of Sicily, the Scotch II Ugh ADDS,
and the familiar Catskills, the evidence
of denudation is, if possible, even more
marked; for here it is clear that elev. ~
ton and valley have been carved by
the elements out of land that rose from
the sea as level plateaus.-From Geo
