P, f. Butler, of pack train No. 3,

in more or less violent form, and when
we landed we had no time to see a doc

night aud day to keep the troops
supplied with ammunition and rations,
but thanks to Camberlaiu's Collie, Chol-
era and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were
able to keep at work and keep our
health; in fact, l sincerely believe at
one critical time this medicine was the
indirect savior of our army, for If the
packers had been unable to work there
would have been no way of getting sup
plies to the front. There were no roads
that wagon train could use. My
cOmLade and myself had the good for
tune to lay in supply of this medicine

PETRIFIED PONDS IN PERSIA.
Water Turns Into Marble, Which Is
Prettily Marked and Transparent.

That beautiful transparent stone
called Tabriz marble, much used in the
burial places of Persia and in their
grandest edifces, consists of petrlfied
water ponds in certain parts of the
country. This petrifaction may be
traced from it's commencement to its
termination; in one part the water is
clear, in a second it appears thicker
and stagnant, in a third quite black,
and in its last stage it is white like
frost. When the operation is complete
a stone thrown on it's surfaces makes
no impression, and one may walk over
it without wetting ones shoes. The
substance thus produced is brittle and
Transparent and sometimes richly
striped with red, green and copper

may be cut into large slabs, looked up

their sound to the ear. The asagao
was brought to Japan with the Bud

early rising. Scholars and priests who
went over to study the new religion
brought back the seeds of many Chm

and Eisai brought the seeds of the

Chinese priest at the Obaku Temple in
Uji, who may have introduced the
flower to Japan, was one of the first to

TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING.
The pleasures Mapped Out in Bos-
ton for a Western Girl.

Not long ago while a young woman
hailing from western state was resld-
ing in the east she had slight attack
of the grip and was much IN neeo OIL
something to cheer her up. With
view of securing the needed amuse-
ment she wrote accepting the standing
Invitation of a Boston girl to come ana
snend a few days at the hub. When
the time was near for her to leave
home she received a letter from her
Boston friend which ran like this:
IT think l have planned as pleasant
a, programme for you, my dear, as
would be possible. You will arrive
Monday morning; that afternoon we
shall have luncheon OF the quiet
Club in your honor, at when thirty
literary women will be present. Mon
day evening we shall attend lecture
nv Professor - ON The Semitic
Races Tuesday forenoon we are go
ing to a meeting of the Browning CLUB
and in the afternoon we are booked
for a musicale in behalf OF the colofed
cid ladies' home. Tuesday evening we
shall wind up the two days with lee
ture by Professor - on 'Esoterlc
Buddhism, which am sure will be the
greatest treat of the whole two days.
AS soon after the receipt of this let
ter as she could recover strength
enough to hold pen the western girl
wrote her friend as follows:

will have to modify your programme,

TALLEsT OF ALL TREES.

In New South Wales, Victoria, and
Tasmania grows a species of gum tree
eucalyptus amygdalina is its scien-
tific name which, Sir. F. Won Mueller
says, probably represents "the tallega
of all trees of the globe" The Hottest
specimen of this tree yet measured
towers to the height of All feet. A
PROSTATE tree measured in Victoria,
was 400 feet long, and the distance
from the roots to the lowest branch
was 295 feet. At that point the trunk
was four feet in diameter and $50 feet
from the butt the diameter was still
three feet. The wood of this tree is
hard and of good quality, it grows
quickly and yields a great quantity of
volatile oil from it's leaves, which are
very abundant.

COWBOYS AS MUSICIANS.
Twenty Five Cattle Punchers in Kan
sas Have Organized a Band.

G. G. Gillet, the cattle king of Dick
lnson county, Kansas, has the only
cowboy band ON earth. On his big
ranch near Woodbine he employs
twenty-five cowboys, and they have
been furnished by Mr.. Gillet with a
complete set of fine instruments.
Young folks come from miles around
to dance and enjoy band concerts. He
will ship bunch of $1,000 head from
the plains of Texas. His twenty-five
cowboys have started after them, and
the first lot, about 5000 head, will ar
rive next week. If the prices continue
to hold high for another twelve
months Mr.. Gillett will clear about

practically nothing and is now the
largest shipper in this state. His new
barn, which accommodates thirty-six
head of horses and other stock, is just

SCIENTIFIC OBSERVATION.

In youth, / wondered how the man
Who's paid the earth and sky to scan,
To measure clouds and weigh the wind
And learn how much the air is thinned
Gould prophesy about storm,
Or whether cold or whether warm
Or wet or dry tomorrow'd be;
But age perceives what youth won
see,
And now, although I'm hardly old,
1t isn't needful to be told
When any group of chilly airs,
With stealthy, crafty guile, prepare
To send shiver up and down
The spinal column of the town;
I understand, at length, how it's
The weather man conducts his biz
With muttered curses and with groans,
I know he feels it in his bones.

SHAH FOND OF FELINES.
Has Fifty Cats Which He Takes With
Him Everywhere He Goes.

In enthusiasm for cats the shah OF
Persia surpasses all other royal dew
otees He has fifty of them and they
have attendants of their own with spe-
cial rooms for meals. When the shah
goes away they go too, carried by men
on horseback The late car of Russia
was very fond of the feline tribe.
When visiting the king of Denmark on
one occasion he alarmed the menlals
by rushing out very early one morning
to the gardens. From the window OF
his sleeping-room he had seen a big
dog attack his favorite black cat, and,
without staying. to complete his toilet,
he had fed to her rescue. The famous
royal cat of Siam is a large white
short-haired variety, with black face
and a. peculiar formation of ear. It's
preciousness may be judged from the
fact that it once took three gentlemen
of influence three months to procure
one for an English consul at Bangkok.

A GREAT HEIREss.

The public generally knows that
Mrs. Hetty Green, the richest and most
remarkable woman in America, has a
son. But it is pretty safe to wager
that few people are aware of the fact
that she also has a daughter. Interest
in the daughter is melted when one
stops to think that the young woman,
ess in the land, the Vanderbilts and
Astors to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. Miss Green is now "a years of
age. On her mothers death she will
become possessed of a fortune of $780,
100000 in her own right This being
the fact, the public naturally is inter-
ested in her character, etc.
Miss Green, if her mothers words
are true, is no more desirable as an
heiress than as a woman. She has
sphere is the home and that she is out
of place in business life. She has been
taught that where her family is there
is her home, and that few tried
friends are forth more than social dis
tinction. She has never appeared in
society because her mother has no OPP
portunity or wish for such things. She
is a catch from a financial standpoint,
and still greater one if her education
as outlined by her mother has been
the success aimed at.
Mrs. Green has said that all she de-
sires in her daughters husband Is That
he be an honorable man. She does not
care if he is or is not a business man
or professional man, churchman or
man of the world. II he is an honor
able man loves her daughter instead
of her gold he can have her. The
mother does not fix any ironclad rule.
She says a man may be a good man
and still have some of the so-called
bad habits. He may smoke and occa-
sionally indulge in liquors and still be
an upright, temperate man. she
draws the line at swearing. 1t de-
ponds upon the daughter il she ever
goes into society. She has reached the
age when her mother thinks she may
receive attention, and she will be per-
mitted TO '.come OUT if she wishes.

WHY THE HORSE DIDN'T WIN.

tn horse was fit tn jock treated me to
a pull, an when tn boy tried all right
tn horse would quit an chuck it up.
An when tn jock was givin' me ride
an the horse was fit there was always
one or two in tn field a leetle filter.

well, as you may 'spose, | was
'pcut desperate like, an was undecided
whether to sell out an quit tn game
or part with tn top of me head by

some of tn boys one day an proposes
to give me a pull-off. There was

day an they tells me to put old Skin

We talked the thing over an when tn
entries closed there was five horses III
for that race next day Old Skinflint

to be a great one.

didn't chuckle half as much as me an
