SONG OF THE TREE TOP.

My love is the wind, and his heart is mine.
 Here under the midnight sky Ne sleep, and we dream i'll the starlit gleam

 As blue pillows fluff into foam, We laugh in delight at the hurricanes flight
 And kiss when the ships come home. Herbert Randall in Connecticut Magazine.

THE TRUE MANIA.
Interesting Facts About a Lichen of
 the Saharan Desert.


 According to M. Chastrey. the true mama of the Scripture is the thallo- phyte, known to botanists as Canona esculenta and Lichen esculentus The nomads of the Sahara and south Algeria call it Ousseh- -elArd It is also found in Persia. Arabia and Mesopo- tamia It is grayish. about the size of small pea. and farinaceous inside. Some say the spores are brought by wind and develop with dew. Others think it leaves a germ or seed behind it when it perishes It should be collected in the morning of its appearance, be- cause it dries in the sun and is lost in the sand. It can be preserved in closed vessel The lichen does not cling to any foreign body, but lies on the sand in layer sometimes nearly an inch thick and can be collected easily. It is rather sweet in taste.
 The Arabs, whose lives it often saves, boil it in water, and thus get gelati- nous paste, which they serve in various ways To preserve the mamma they dry it in the shadeNor they wrap the paste in skins. Analysis shows that the lichen contains Is parts of water. IA of nitrog enous matter. 20 of non- -nitrogenous matter. 5 of mineral matter. 32 of sug- ared and amylaceous matter and of fats The Arabs of Chaambra and the Algerian douars never fail to gather it after dews and rains as welcome ad- dition to their diet and gentle laxa- tive.-Sa Francisco Chronicle.

ELEPHANT BUTTE CASE.
How the People of New Mexico May Get
Water

Las Cruces, December l9.-Ths is in
all human probability the last day Of
the trial Of the Elephant Butte dam
case, with all its vast import and con-
| sequences to the people Of this terri
| tory, and upon the future of this west
ern country
Judge Burch, attorney for the gov
ernment, resumed his argument this
morning and continued the same until
a late hour in an exceedingly uncon-
vincing strain of speculation and theory
rather than with conditions and facts
as established beyond controversy by
the witnesses who testified in the case.
The arguments of Hon. w, A. Hawkins
and Judge A. B. Fall are yet to be
made for the defense, and when these
gentlemen shall have spoken it is con-
fidently expected that the theories and
false premises presented by the govern
ment will be exploded and sent sky
high, while the truth and the facts will
shine forth through it all as bright as
the noon-day sun, and seen, kno%u and
felt by everybody. 1t Is trie that JUS
tice' may yet be delayed and slow in
coming, but that it will come Is as GER
tain as that we live and God reigns.

ated, with all its great resources in soil,

everywhere by digging for it, and the
sooner the people go to digging deep
down the sooner the supply will be OBJ

People are leaving the Mesilla valley
because it does not rain enough to keep
them from digging for water to make
crops. They dig down 10 feet and get
enough to drink, but before they will
dig down 200 feet and get all they could
possibly use for any purpose, they leave
the country. This state of things cannot
last, We must stand our ground and
