THE DEW FLOWER.
One of Natures stzangest Whins, 10
Blooms In Death Valley.

One of Natures stzangest Whims, 10
Blooms In Death Valley.
In the lower eastern part of the state OF
California is trackless waste of hot sand
known as Death valley. Across it, bleach
ing in the sun. are scattered the bones OF
ambitious white men and horses that have
essayed to pass over it's torrid bosom in
early days.
A few stunted shrubs, rotted prairie
wagon, stretch of telltale bones and a sea
of sand make up its scenery. Rising from
the horizon are the blue crests of the Pan
amint mountains, almost lost in the haze,
and all around hovers the awful desolation
that mates with barrenness and silence
Yet in the midst of it all there is brief
moment at the dawning when this heat
ridden spot becomes as rich and beautiful
as an ocean of tinted satin undulating and
billowing into space.
The dew flower of Death valley is one
OF natures strangest whims. When the
sun goes down at nighttime on the hot
waste, it would seem that no flower OF
Gods creation could live upon it. But be-
fore morning the heavy dews waited by
the winds from the mountains fall IN
misty showers upon the parched plain.
An hour or two before sunrise the moist
sand, with its undercurrent of warmth,
gives life to the dew flower, and when the
light begins to glow in the east myriad
tiny pink flowers burst into bloom, hug
ging the sand for the few moments they
are destined to live. 2
The first rays of the sun come slanting
across the field and, as though hot breath
had touched the garden the colors fade
and the dew flowers wither and disappear,
moved down like wheat before the reaper.
In five minutes the sand takes back its
pallid color, the heat waves begin to coil
upward in the hot air and the picture
painted by natures brush is gone.
A few courageous and fortunate men
who have crossed this valley of death have
witnessed this remarkable scene and told
how in "a hours one can experience all it's
pleasures at the rising Of the sun and its
horrors and heat during the day.

GARRISON FOR PORTO RICO.

Washington, October 13.-Gen. Brooke
has been directed by the war department!
to consider the subject OF perihanen'
garrison for the island of Porto Hlco;
With the troops now on the lsiana aLu
those On route exclusive OF those On tne
island who have been ordered home, Gen.
Brooke's command consists of about 5000
men. He is inclined to the belief that
a force of 5000 or 1000 will be ample as a
garrison for the island.
Whether regiments of regulars will be
sent to Porto Rico will depend upon the
recommendation of Gen. BROOKE. At all
events it is not likely in the opinion of
war department. officials that any regu-
lars will be ordered to the island before
the first of next year.

stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shews itself not in the stomach so much
as in nearly every other organ; in some
cases the heart palpitates and is irregu-

headaches; still others are troubled with
loss of flesh and appetite. with the accu-
mutation OF gas, sour risings and heart
