DID PERSEUS EXPLODE?
Conjecture as to the New Light That
Has Appeared in the
Heavens,

We wonder if any person in the
world has been frightened by the APP
pearance and disappearance of the
new star in Perseus, of which astron-
omers have recently made SO much.
Somebody ought to have been, says
the London Spectator. The new light
probably appeared because sun had
exploded, or because two suns had col
lided, evolving temporarily an almost
uncomfortable quantity of flame. If a
distant sun could explode, so could our
sun, and if two suns could collide, some
sun of which we know nothing may
be rushing at pace which the mind
does not grasp, though the brain can
calculate it, toward our own. There
should be something alarming to the
imaginative in that idea, but. SO far
The catastrophe in Perseus, whatever
it's cause, must have occurred so years
ago to give the light time to get here,
and catastrophes so inconceivably dis
tant are outside the range even of the
imagination. We read of them as we
read of quintillions, grasping the
words, but not the thoughts they are
intended to convey. The mass of man.
kind, too, are protected against as
Economical alarms, not only by their
ignorance, but by two very steady be-
liefs. One, which is not quite reason
able, is that God, though He allows
railway collisions, will never allow
anything so big as an astronomical
catastrophe-as if there could be
greatness or littleness in the eyes of
the Infinite-and the other, which is
reasonable enough, is that if an astro-
nomical catastrophe affected sentient
beings at all, it must destroy all of
them within its range utterly and at
once.

Porto Ilican Conditions.

Of the 953,243 population of Porto

island, but 100 miles long and Sc
wide, are 10000 district farms, and
one-fifth of the island is under Guilt

in Porto Rico is As acres, of which
II are cultivated. Seventy-one per
cent. of these Porto Rican farms are
owned by whites, and the rest by
negroes. Ninety-three per cent. of
all the farms are cultivated by their

show, where the proportion is but 72

er and sometimes he forgot to go al
all for a whole morning at time.
He went back to his. old seat at the
palazzo door only once.
That was about month after. He
had been particularly restless that
morning, so the habitues of the plaza
said. He changed his seat two or
three times, and then went over to
the obelisk erected to the memory of
the troopers who had fallen at
Apache canyon, and stood looking at
it long and meditatively, with the
air of man who had just noticed it
for the first time. He and 'Lish had

til Pablo Saltillo, the district attor-
ney, crossing over to the palazzo,
said: Hello! There's Hank back

body looked. He was tilted back in
his chair, his head bent forward as if
he was buried in profound thought.
AS Saltillo went in at the door he
said: 'Como esta, Hank?" But
Hank made no reply.

him, saw that he was dead.-Chicago

One of the methods of protecting
broad grass lands from fire is to burn
a swath called ''fireguard' around
the area to be protected. A Montana
stockman suggests that this offers a
good opportunity for inventors to de-
wise machine which, passing over the
ground like a horserake, shall burn
the grass clean from space about
eight or ten feet in width. Already
an apparatus of this kind has been
invented, using gasolene to set the
grass on fire and train of steel
brushes to eXtinguish it before it has
spread beyond the proper limits, but
the stoclzman thinks that cheaper
machine can be made. ''Fireguards''
so miles, or more, in length are de.
sirable.-Youth's Companion.

MONTEZUMA'S WELL.
Pleasing Natural Curiosity In Arf.
zonn That Has a Striking
Feature.

One of the most pleasing natural
curiosities in the territory of Arizona
is the pool of water known as Mon
tezuma's well, says the Native Amer
lean. 1t is situated Is miles north
east of the old, abandoned military
post known as Camp Verde. It is
$50 feet in diameter, and the clear;
pure water is about 60 feet below
the surface of the surrounding coun-
try. Some years ago certain mill
tary officers sounded the pool and
found that it had uniform depth
of 80 feet of water, except in one
place, apparently about six feet
square, where the sounding line went
down about 500 Feet without touch
ing bottom.
The we'll empties into Beaver creek
only about 100 yards distant, the water
gushing forth from the rocks as
though it were under great pressure.
The we'll is undoubtedly supplied
from subterranean sources, possibly
through the hole sounded by the army
officers years ago. The sides of the
well are honeycombed with caves and
tunnels, permitting sightseers to de-
scend to the waters edge.
MonteZuma's well contains no fish.
The flow of water through it is the
same throughout the seasons. Popu-
lar opinion has attributed the origin
of the well to volcanic action, but as
:he rock surrounding it is limestone
it is more than probabl that the ac-
ton of the water is responsible for lis
crea ton.

BEAUTIFUL PUBLICATION
Dealing With the Attractions at the Pan.
American Exposition.

To the Grand Trunk must be given
the palm and the credit for being first
in the field with handsome new pub
LEGATION dealing with the great attrac-
tions of the Pan-American exposition
at Buffalo, which opened May for a
continuance of six months.
Nothing yet as pretentious and ele-
giant as this book has been issued in
connection with the great international
event, and the Grand Trunk, never do
ing things by halves, has thought fit
to get up this fine piece of work for
the benefit of its patrons and the pub
lie generally. The publication is COM
posed of thirty-two pages, with four
page cover. The. inside is printed in
finish on the illustrations. The de-
scriptive matter has been carefully
compiled and arranged with view of
giving the reader a comprehensive and
true picture of the different buildings
and attractions that are to be seen, also
a good description of the Midway" a
feature of the exposition, which, it is
said, will surpass anything of the kind
heretofore attempted.
The publication tells how to reach
Buffalo, gives reference to whom to
apply for accurate information as to
hotel accommodation. 1t suggests to
the traveller many attractive side trips,
and gives complete list of hotels and
and boarding houses in the several dis
tricts reached by these side trips. A
map of the Grand Trunk railway sys-
tenn in three colors is embodied, as well
as map of the city of Buffalo, show
ing the several railway stations and
the street car lines running to and
from the exposition grounds, valu-
gers in Buffalo. There is also an ac-
curate plan of the exposition grounds,
which gives splendid idea of the lay
out of the undertaking, with the names
of the buildings clearly inserted for
the information of the sightseer. The
inside of the publication is printed in
three colors on the finest coated paper,
while the cover is a heavy paper suit
able for enclosing.
The design used for the title pages
of the cover is one of artistic beauty
and represents the emblematic figure
of Enlightenment standing in the fore
ground holding torch in each hand,
while Immediately above appears the
Beck design of the Pan-American trade
mark. At the top of the page is shown
the trademark of the Grand Trunk,
while the title of the brochure is pic
turesque Pan-American Route to Buff
falo." The colors used to bring out
the pleasing effect which has been OBJ
tanned are light blue, yellow and black,
embossed in high relief, and making
one of the most handsome pieces of
railway literature that has been issued
by any transportation company. The
mechanical execution of the work is
without fault, and the illustrations,
which are all of the half-tone process,
are fine.

PILGRIMS.

Who bi6es beneath p roof to-day,
If he may set his foot abroad
Along the woodsy ouOand way,
Is little better than clcd!
There is no thing in all the land
That does not seem articulate;
The grasses smile, and understand
The vireo calling to his mate.
Tall pine-tops unto pine-tops breathe
In sighings murmurous as the sea;
And through the birchen copse beneath
There runs fiuting harmony.
In the half-dusks of tangled green
The pale wild-rose's censor burns,
And in each hollow may be seen
The fragile laceries of the ferns.
While over all, for all to share,
Placid and pure and wide and high,
Mist-winnowed by the searching air,
Broods motherly Gods open sky.
Then grip the oak-staff. We who may,
And set the pilgrim foot abroad!
Who. willing, bides within to-day
Is little better than a clod!

nightfall they meandered off to the
little house that Old Mercedes kept
in order for them, ate their evening
meal, and after postprandial pipe,
rolled themselves in their blankets
and addressed themselves to slumber.
That was their daily routine.
In course of time 'Lish died. That
occasioned no surprise, for he had
long passed the allotted span of life;
but it was thought strange that Hank
was not more affected. Hank put on
his other clothes and went around
to the carpenter, Manuel Gonzales,
and made arrangements about the
coffin with absolute impassiveness,
and only grunted in response to
ManuePs fearful condolences. To
those who spoke to him about the
death on the way there and back he
returned the same grunt, and moth
ing more; nevertheless Manuel, when
he took the coffin up to the house,
found him sitting at the rough deal
table, his chin between his hands and
an unlighted pipe between his teeth,
staring straight before him in such
abstraction that the little carpenter
had to touch him on the shoulder to
make him aware of his presence.
That night Manuel had occasion to
go past the house quite late, and,
tip-toeing up to the window, he saw
Hank in exactly the same position.
That might have meant grief. Man
uel, in the discussion at Colorado
Charley's as to whether Hank cared
dern, took the position that it did
mean grief.
At the funeral, Hank showed an in
decently small amount~of emotion
in fact, no emotion at all; but the
day after he began to act strangely.
He took his accustomed seat at the
palazzo door, but before an hour had
passed he got up and wandered rest
lessly along Francisco street, return
ing at last to seat himself on bench
in the plaza. At the usual time he
went and took his usual drink, but
after that he went sometimes often

A DOCTOR THIS TIME.

Portland, May CDR. E. A. Rose,
a practicing physician, formerly of
Yates Center, Kan, was on what
everyone supposed was his death bed.
He had Diabetes, and six of his brother
doctors were in attendance and con-
sultation at his bedside. They had
done everything that medical skill
could suggest to save his life, but they
were at last reluctantly forced to tell
him that he must prepare for death.
His aunt had been summoned to his
dying bedside. After the doctors had
given her nephew up, she insisted that
as last resort, he be given a treat
ment of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
From the very first dose, the tide
and he is hale and hearty to-day.
This case and it's cure has amazed
the physicians, and is the sensation of
the hour. 1t is interesting to note
that while many others are being
cured by this great discovery in medi-
cine, the physicians themselves are
among the first to benefit, and that
while the simpler and more prevalent
forms, such as rheumatism, Sciatica,
Bladder and Urinary Trouble and Fee
male Weakness disappear before it,
the more malignant forms, such as
Bright's Disease, Diabetes and Dropsy,
which have always been regarded as
incurable, are yielding just as easily.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are fast super
seding all other treatments for Kidney
Disease, and as nearly all human sick
ness and suffering has it's origin in the
Kidneys, the use of this wonderful
medicine is becoming almost universal.
