The gloomy, discouraged and
hopeless expression that dishgured
the faces of so many people a few
years ago, has all vanished and now
one may read in the faces of those
he meets, thrift, contentment and
prosperity.

An Uuanswerable Argument.

An Uuanswerable Argument.
For some time after general pros
perity throughout the country was
recognized by the standard COM
mercial authorities, as well as the
business world, the deeply partisan
and anti administration organs were
trying to impress upon the people
that this prosperity was only ap-
parent and in no sense genuine.
Business progress, however, has
continued, until now the weak at,
tempt to cry down prosperity has
been abandoned and these partisan
organs are assuring their constitu-
ency that the present good times
are in no wise due to the Republl-
can Tariff policy and the present
administration. The fact that the
country is now enjoying almost un-
precedented prosperity, while under
the last Democratic administration
there was paralysis of business, is
an unanswerable argument for the
present policy. There is no appar-
ent desire on the part of the people
to test the question by further ex-
periments while present business
conditions prevail. Free-Trade and
free silver surely will not make the
country more prosperous. The
Democratic partisans certainly have
a hard row to hoe in an attempt to
find an issue.-Northheld, VT,

There are men who still advocate

them as poor fellows, who have

THEORY OF MURDER.
Treatment OF Animals an Index In the
Criminal Instinct.


According to an ingenius Statisti-
clan who has been at work on the sub
ject ever since the assassination of
King Humbert of Italy, the greatest
number OF murders is likely to be COM
mitted in that country in which ami
mails are treated with the most cruelty
He claims too that comparatively few
murders are comitted in those coun-
tries in which societies for the protec-
ton of animals flourish. Out of every
million inhabitants, he says, there are
in England and Ireland only six muir
derers; in Germany, IL; in Belgium,
IA; in France 16; in Austria, %; in
Hungary, 81; in Spain, SO, and in
Italy. 80. These figures, he maintains,
are just what might be expected. In
no country. he says. are animals
treated with more kindness than in
Great Britain and with more cruelty
than in Italy, and the treatment ac-
corded to them in the other countries
may fairly be gagged according to the
number of murders committed in each.
At the same time this statistician, who
is German. and an influential men,
Der of the Berlin Society for the Pro-
lection of Animals. admits that climate
is considerable factor in this matter.

GEMS OF SHAH.

Kanjanian crown is shaped like a
flower pot, with the small end open

top an uncut. flawless ruby as big as

caps are adorned with splendid al
grettes OF diamonds, and there are
gauntlets and belts innumerable COW

mails In Arizona.
A large number of bears have been
driven out of the San Francisco noun
tains in northeastern Arizona by the
cold. and have migrated south into
the hills and canyons around Blue riv-
er, affording sport for the cowboys OF
that section. The maneuvers of a herd
of 100 bears were watched from a peak
overlooking Blue river a few days ago
by a posse Of well-known cowboys.
composed of Nels Wilson, Rawley
West, Buck" Davis and several 9TH
ers. Shortly before coming upon the
herd they had encountered a bunch Of
five bears and killed four, but the 9TH
er escaped after a chase. Their am
munition was spent on the fourth
bear and the caqueros started out to
rope" the fifth. The roping of bear.

boy, and at the same time affords a
test of his accuracy with the rope and
the speed and activity of his horse,
says the San Francisco Chronicle. He
seldom misses a throw" when the
animal is within range, but in the
roping Of bear not only must the cow
boy be successful in placing the moose
about the bears neck, but he must
draw it taut before the willy brute
shakes It off. On this occasion the
boys followed their quarry through
mesquite shrubbery, and several
times when it appeared on an open
they tossed the lasso about the ami
mails neck. The bear as frequently
stopped. obtained a little slack and
neatly through off the moose with his
paw. The cowboys suffered the dis
grace Of losing their animal, three
lariats and their temper, but they re-
turned TO Stafford, small community
in the mountains, with four skins and
a wonderful account of a herd of Ari-
zona bears. Cowboys from the sur
rounding hills are contemplating a
rodeo and are gathering for big bear

along. for the cowboy, as a rule, who
stoops to shoot bear is regarded as

in pot Shots" and the vaquero who
returns without having successfully
roped several bears will be in disgrace.

relations between mosquitoes and ma
laria, inasmuch as malarial fevers are
said to be the cause of more deaths
than any other malady in the tropical
possessions Of the crown. Thus far
over 5000 specimens have been re-
ceived. and additions are being made
to this total almost every week. The
genus anopheles, which is held respon-
sible for the dissemination of malaria,
is represented by % species, at least
10 OF which were until recently I'M

both in size and the markings of the
