NEW INVASION OF INDIA.
American Cigarettes Are Carrying All Before Them ia the
 Orient

The idea that the native Indian es- chews all but his native tobacco, which he takes mostly in the form of cheroots. receives a hard shock from the newly issued official Review of the Trade of India. It appears that in 1S9s-99 the imports of manufactured tobacco, especially in the shape of cigarettes, underwent much expen- sion.
 It is no longer true that the con sumption of imported tobacco is prac- tically confined to the Anglo-Indian population. Cigarettes made in Amer ica are being extensively imported now with special reference to the re- quiremen.s of the native smoker, says the London Mail. They are greatly other large cities. where they are be- ginning to supersede the unclean and unsavory compounds smoked in na-- tive apparatus.
 Imported cottons have largely su- perseded the production of the native handloom; imported mineral oil and dyes have superseded the inferior ar ticles produced in the country, to the great advantage of the consumer; inn ported sugar is also gradually begin ming to thrust back the inferior and dirty sugar hitherto offered 10 the Indian consumer: and now 1t seems that Indian tobacco is to recoil be- fore the invasion of foreign tobacco made up in neatly packed cigarettes. Another turn of the wheel, and when the people have become accustomed to the better article the capitalist will arise and make it on the spot of Indian tobacco. to the advantage of both producer and consumer. as has been done witE cotton goods and will be done with sugar.

HOW YOU SPEND YOUR LIFE.
The Largest Item in Everyone's Ev- eryday Time Account Is
 Sleep.

Did you ever stop in your daily round of rush and rest to inquire how you actually occupy the hours of your life2 ? Supposing you are an average New York business man, how will your ac- count on the book of time appear when it Is balanced at the end of three score and ten years? asks the Sun.
 The largest item will be sleep, which has consumed 25 years-a little more than one-third of your life. It counted rapidly during your childhood. less rapidly in age. and was at minimum during the working days of middle life These working days will count 2l years. and in the course of them you will read for two years and write for year and seven months
 The next item will be that of pleas ure, which will have consumed nine years. and your walking will have con surned six and one-half years more, Then your eating accounts will show that you have sat at the table. stood at lunch counters or cuddied elsewhere for five years You will also have q dressing account of three and one-hali years. which have been devoted 10 but. toning and unbuttoning- ng-remember. it is man who is being considered. Tn this dressing account you will find eight months charged 10 bathing ac. count and seven months to shaving.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all it's stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires con- stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting direct ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing it's work.

The following circular has been dis tributed broadcast thoughout the coun- try by Rev. I. T. Whittemore, who is now in Washington:
 There are nearly 5000 Indians in Arizona, most of whom are sad, sor- rowful, and in starving condition ! River dry, drought of last year killed their cattle and horses, and nothing but mesquite beans for the support of the Indians, or rations from Govern ment.
 Rev. R. N. Craig, Superintendent of Missions, Synod of New Mexico, in the Evangelist of December 2, 1900, says that he has just visited 5S6 fami- lies; of these 5S6 families 4S2 have not been able to raise anything in the past year from lack of water. This is ex- elusive of the Msricopas and the Papa goes in the Pima country, who are worse off, as they have been partly dependent on the Pimas for years. The Pimas between 1853 and 1872, 19 years, saved the Government over a million dollars and in the Apache war, from 1872 to 1887, half million more. Now the water is taken from them by the farmers on the upper GiIa, and starva- tion stares them in the face.
 Congress should vote an appropria- tion to erect the San Carlos dam, ac- eording to MT. J. B. Lippincott's re- port, February l, 1900, No. 3S; then those lndians-Pimas, Maricopas and Papagoes-will again earn an honest living as in past years. Shall this be denied?

La Grippe Quickly Cured.

"In the winter of 1898 and 1899 was taken down with a severe attack of what is called La Grippe" says F. L. Hewett, prominent druggist of Win field, III. "The only medicine used was two bottles of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It broke up the cold and stopped the coughing like magic, and have never since been troubled with Grippe" Chamberlain's Cough Remedy can always be depended upon to break up a severe cold and ward of any threatened attack of pneumonia. It is pleasant to take, too, which makes it the most desirable and one of the most popular preparations in use for these ailments. For sale by Brock ways Pharmacy,

4 Score for the Press.
[From the Tucson star.l

Hon. Chas. D. Reppy, editor and proprietor of the Florence TRIBUNE, is visiting Tucson. MT. Reppy has dis tinguished himself by his successful and persistent labor for the reservoir proposition at the Buttes, or San Car los. For years Editor Reppy has been urging this reservoir scheme, which is now nearing a realization. That it will be built has become fact. It's building means hundreds of thousands of acres now desert will be reclaimed to agriculture and that the Pima and Maricopa Indians will become self sustaining and become enriched from their own labor. It means more, and that is, thousands of families settling in the Lower Gila valley, the growth of Florence to several thousand DO D. ulation. And these big results can be largely claimed as the work of the press of the Territory with Editor Chas. D. Reppy as the promoter of the important undertaking. The re- suits which will come from the con- struction of this reservoir are incal- culable. So much for the press of Arizona and the Florence TRIBUNE, the leader in the undertaking.

A DOGS PERSISTENcY.
Ing Dog That Freed a Bear in California.

The mysterious disappearance of two valuable hounds owned by A. ". Combs, of Oakland, has been explained, and the story behind 1t proves one of the most remarkable cases of canine faith fulness and determination ever record ed. Combs was one of party of hunt CTS who returned few days ago from a weeks hunting trip in the mountains back of Crescent City, Del Norte coun- ty, stys the San Francisco Chronicle.
 The party had taken along four hounds, which were missed during the first night in the mountains. They had evidently strayed away during the night and for the following four days the hunters were without their com panions. On the fourth day, however. two of the hounds returned to camp. the two belonging to Combs being final ly given up for lost or stolen. When the hunters were ready to start for home they informed Superior Judge Cutler of the mysterious disappearance of the two hounds and requested him to advertise a reward for their return in his name.
 One day subsequently, Mir. Combs re- ceived letter from Judge Cutler con- veying the happy news that the hounds had been recovered. Judge Cutler writes that they wsre found in the mountains several miles from where the Oaklanders had been hunting by a miner. who had heard them barking for several days. The miner had gone 10 investigate and found two hounds hold ing the fort at the base of large tree, into which a bear had climbed for safety from their attack. This was nine days after they had been missed from the hunters camp, and for sev- eral days they had remained on watcf at this particular tree. They were com pletely exhausted and very nearly starved to death, as was also the bear which the miner killed.

 NATIONAL IRRIGATION for February says: The bald statement that there are 75, ,O00,0 acres of land in the arid West which can be reclaimed by irri- gation, conveys but little idea to the stranger of the resulting possibilities. A picture is presented to him as of re- cleiming that amount of swamp land or of acquiring an additional territory the size of New England and New York, of perhaps good, fertile land. But he can have little conception of the result to the whole country of re- claiming 75 ,0oO, 900 acres by irrigation. This means dividing it up into small farms of from 10 to 40 acres and ereat- ing dense rural population ofhighly prosperous citizens, producing heavy and never-failing crops, and coasum- ing vast quantities of the products of other purtions of tue Union.

The Tucson Citizen of last Friday prints the following letter from Wm. Stiles which was received by E. P. Drew of that place:
 CAVE AT--
 Friend Ed: l write you this note so that you will please send my watch and chain to my wife immediately, for they have driven me to the woods again, and leave my wife very short of means. If you can get anything like what they are worth, and send the money to her, it will be great favor to me. She is in need. I wrote to Mir. Breckenridge some time ago for him to get i:, but he aever answered my letter; so 1 suppose he got it. If he did, have him give it back to you. Whatever you can get for it will be all right with me.
 Ed, suppose you have heard all about my case. It is a damn shame that people cannot keep their promises. l never dreamt of being arrested again, but thank God got away and will try to stay away from them and they had better stay away from me, too. God knows that l intended to keep out of trouble, but when you are driven to it what is one to do?
 Now Ed, I want you to let it be known that was promised by all the attorneys that all the charges against me would be dismissed, which I sup posed was done, when to my surprise here comes the big sheriff of Cochise county after me. on one of the charges that was to be dismissed.
 I tell you it is getting so that you can't trust anyone.
 We'll, Ed, will close, hoping to see you some day. I remain as ever,

Benjamin Franklin, who died in l790, left $5, 900 each to the cities of Boston and Philadelphia, to be kept invested for period of 100 years, and the entire accumulation devoted at the cad of a century to certain public objects. How great difference there can be in 6nan- cial management is shown by the fact that the Boston fund now amounts to $366, 1880 and that of Philadelphia to but little over $10O,0OO. Boston has decided to spend the mouey for a branch of the public library, to be called the Franklin Institute, es- pecially used for classes and lectures iu history and science and for instruc. ton in applied arts and mechanics Philadelphia will turn over it's Franklin fund to the park commission for ar art gallery.
