An excellent catarrh snuff can be
made by mixing equal parts of powder
ed camphor, borax and salt.
For one afflicted by boils good rem
edy is found in one-fifth grain pill Of
sulphide of calcium taken every three
hours. A dose of Rochelle salts should
also be taken before breakfast several
times week.
Meat three times day is harmful to
any person Of sedentary habits, and
even a laborer is better off with meat
but twice a day, as it contains so much
given too much work to do. Meat in
moderation with plenty of vegetables
and fruits should be the rule.
Food is often made unpalatable by
being too greasy. This is a common OBJ
lection to meat broths. Mutton and
chicken broths should always be skim
med several times before they are serv-
ed. The last trace of oily substance
can be removed by passing blotting
paper Or a bit Of bread over the sur
face.
Children receiving natures nourish-
ment stop when they are satisfied.
Their capacity varies greatly. A child
artificially fed should, If In good health,
be able to take six ounces at feeding
at the age Of three months, and such a
feeding should consist Of 21a ounces of
milk, the balance as directed by ply
stefan. Ordinarily the feeding is best
composed as follows: Sterilized milk,
21a ounces; boiled water, 37a ounces;
sugar Of milk, u teaspoonful; bovinine,
20 drops. During the first week Of an
infants life it's stomach contains about
an ounce two tablespoonfuls) and this
should be the amount given at one
feeding, to be repeated every hour in
the case of very hungry infant, and
every hour and a half otherwise.

quietly in the moonlight, have been a
silent spectator of some of the queerest
sights that mans eyes ever beheld.
have seen the deer and the wildcat and
the coyotes and the tufted lynx, and
even a numbering cinnamon bear Or
two, come here to drink. I have lain
quite still in the moonlight and watch
ed them for hours, and there is no more
fascinating spectacle to be seen in the
open.
"It is a wonderful country, and no
man ever set foot into wilder region.
There are three cottonwood trees,
where the spring pours out of the rock.
and along the banks of the creek are
many willows. Near the spring is a
level spot of ten acres. The first night

that 1 stayed on for two weeks because
of the wonderfully weird charm of the
place. The walls of the canyon are
maryels of conglomerate malpais or
lava. There's gold, iron, copper, cob

famous mass that is as bare of vegeta-
ton as the day it poured from the heart
of the earth. It was vomited forth in
the most hideous shapes imaginable,
and seen in the moonlight these shapes
take on all kinds of horrible and won
derful aspects. It's region worth
travelling miles to see, and you can
reach it in a days lope from Congress.

"But the average man who goes there

to drink-it's the prettiest sight in the
world. The first night I was on the
point of going to sleep, when heard
a snort from the top Of the bluff above
me. I looked, and there was big buck

the very brink, his dusky figure sharply

A short cut to notoriety has been eff
fected by a woman of Paris who con-
tributed and collected 10000 francs to-
ward the Guy de Maupassant monu-
ment, recently unveiled in the Pare
Monceau on the condition that her own
portrait be introduced. The ludicrous
result. the figure of fashionably
dressed woman reclining in a long chair
at the foot of bust of the poet, is
characterized by writer in a London
newspaper as IAN advertisement in
marble for some leading dressmaker."
Human vanity takes many forms and

self-respect or of life itself.

Canyon of Tres A1amos.

No region in the world possesses as
much of weird grandeur as the lava
beds of Arizona No portion of this
wild district is SO weird, SO fantastical-
ly wild as the narrow canyon Of Tres
Alamos. Securely hidden in the noun
tain Businesses, it is the most forbid
ding of all the many gulches with
which the region abounds. Vegetation
is almost absent. But three evidences
Of what more favorable ground might
do are present. These are the three
cottonwood trees which give the can
yon it's name. The rocks which COM
pose the sides and floor of this strange
canyon are what are known as con-
glomerate among prospectors. They
contain badly mingled mass of mate
rails, including the precious metals,
but they are so fearfully mixed that
they are useless for any scientific pur-
pose. Few men have ventured into
the canyon, still fewer would care to
remain longer than necessary to drink
Of the spring which gushes out of the
rocks at the roots of the trees.

He is known all over the Pacific coast
and has been in every nook of the
dreary region where the earth vomited
out it's floods Of lava rock. He put in
several days and nights in Tres Ala
mos and witnessed the wild animals
on their nightly visits to the spring for
water. He recently made a visit to
Phoenix after having remained in the
canyon for time. He relates an in
teresting story Of his observations
while out in the lava beds. He de-
scribes the canyon and then continues
as follows:
A Wonderful Country.
A cold spring pours out of the solid
rock and chatters it's way noisily down
the narrow canyon. Here, at the dead

mountains for miles around to drink of

By refusing to accept the plea of in
toxication advanced by an illegal
voter in extenuation of his offense, a
Philadelphia judge has taken stand
which good citizens will generally sup
port, and which has reason, judgment
and common sense back of it. In a
vigorous manner the judge charged the
jury that if they found the prisoner
had voted Illegally, as charged, it was
their duty to convict him without re-
gard to his condition at the time,
whether he was drunk Or sober. The
jury promptly convicted the man.

The latest instance of Germany's new
imperial policy is afforded by Portugal.
It is reported that the German envoy
at Lisbon has presented peremptory
demand for apologies and indemnity
for the i'll treatment Of the imperial
gunboat Wolff, whose sailors were
hooted and insulted on the Tagus, and
several of them seriously injured. A
strong protest was made at Lisbon, but
without satisfaction, as reported, and
hence the resort to the summary meth
DDS Of diplomacy which have proved to
be so effective at Haiti and Kiao- Chou.
Whether it be true or not that a per-
emptory demand has been made upon
Portugal it is certain that it would adj
mirably serve the kaiser's purpose to
seize Delagoa bay, the chief port on the
east coast Of southern Africa. Such
seizure and possession would afford
Emperor William an opportunity to ex-
tend his protection to the Transvaal.
but it would also almost certainly in
volve him in a war with England, for
which, as it would have to be fought
mainly upon the ocean, the German
navy it not prepared. 1t Is readily con-
ceivable that in this vigorous foreign
policy Emperor William is maneuver-
ing for effect upon the reichstag as re-
CARDS his big naval bill. Should he be
as successful with Portugal as with
China and Haiti 1t is quite likely he
may carry his point. His popularity
in Berlin has been greatly increased
within the last few weeks, but it has
been augmented by dangerous meth
ods If Germany, as seems to be indi-
Gated by her policy in China, is about
to enter upon an imperial scheme of
colonization, she will not only do we'll
to build big navy, but will also, in all
probability, not have to wait long for
an opportunity to use 1t.
