Desert Barley Profitable

The water from the Colorado river is working wonders on the desert, accord ing to the Imperial Press, which says:
 "Now that Edgar Brothers have harvested their barley crops half mile from town, it is possible to make some calculations on the profit there is in the crop. One forty-acre piece in the 160 acres grown yielded 90 tons, while another forty acres went some better, though the exact amount is not yet known. It is believed that the yield of the 160 acres will exceed 320 tons, which is being sold baled for SIS, which would make $5760. The expense of seed and labor in growing and baling the hay is estimated at $7 an acre, or $l12O, leaving $4640 net profit on the crop. At this rate, the first crop on the l6O acres will pay all ex- penses and buy tarm of 370 acres with perpetual water right all paid for, which is considered a pretty good investment.

No Scarcity of Beef

It will surprise the public to be told on the authority of the treasury department at Washington, certainly reliable and unprejudiced authority, that there is no scarcity of beef, the excuse offered by the beef trusts for its extortionate prices. The treasury bulletin contains these pertinent facts: {:
 The latest report on internal com merce from the treasury bureau of statistics shows no substantial loss in receipts of live stock at five western markets for the first third of this year. For the first four months of 1902, 10,076, 373 head were received at these centers compared with 10, l06, 495 head in 1901 and 9,735, 1924 head for the corresponding period of 1900. April receipts cf cattle at these markets were considerably higher than those of April, 1900, but somewhat below those of April, 1901.
 So it appears that there is no excuse for these high prices. The public could be little more patient if the farmer got the benefit of high prices j; but it all goes to the beef trust.

The Limbs Tn Walking.

It is pointed out that in walking or running the arms and legs produce "balancing" like that of the reciprocal ing and revolving parts of a locomo- tive. The movements of the legs react upon the trunk and tend to rotate it in alternate directions about a vertical axis. but the swinging of the arms, each in unison with the opposite leg, produces an opposing mechanical cou- ple, the effect of which is to rotate the trunk in the other direction. thus bal ancing, in part at least, the rotating action of the legs.

old English Police Tax.

The chief authorities of towns in past ages incurred much responsibility. Al Ripon we have Il good example of their liabilities. Here formerly, after the blowing of horn at Q o'clock at night and until sunrise next morning. If a house were robbed and the owner and his servants had taken proper precau' tions for its safety. the wakeman had to make good the loss sustained. Each householder paid an annual tax of two pence if he had one door and fourpence if he had two doors to his dwelling for maintaining watch over the city. The tax has long since been discontinued. but the horn is still blown at night

Potatoes Killed by Frost

A Stockton dispatch announces that late frosts have caused fifty Der cent loss to new potatoes in several locali- ties on Roberts island. The loss will run into the thousands. On Statan island the bean crop is almost total failure. Where the potatoes have been knocked out on Roberts island beans are now being planted between rows, though in some places the potatoes are being plowed up and the ground re-seeded to potatoes.

Spare the Owls

George P. Hall of San Diego says: Don't let the boys dig out the owls and kill them. The owl is your friend ;a he lives on mice, gophers and large bugs. Tell the boys to devote all their gun practice on linnets, sparing the meadow larks and all insect eating birds, but spare the owl as you would a good friend. Remember there is a heavy fine for killing certain birds"

BAD BLOOD, BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin is the seat of an almost end- less variety of diseases. They are known by various names, but are all due to the same cause, acid and other poisons in the blood that irritate and interfere with the proper action of the skin.
 To have smooth, soft skin, free from all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure and healthy. The many preparations of arsenic and potash and the large number of face powders and lotions generally used in this class of diseases cover up for a short time, but cannot remove per manently the ugly blotches and the red, disfguring pimples.

McARTHY BUYS THE DRINKS.
Costs Him Seventeen Dollars to
Square the Joke.
iona ha Bee

Eugene Mccarthy has been making
money out in Wyoming, and came to
Omaha the other day with a willing
ness TO spend some of it. Out around
Casper. where he comes from. it is
correct form to buy a drink every time
your name is spoken. and il becomes
second nature to a well-uo-do sheepman
TO speak up promptly on such Occa-
siOns.
Mccarthy went to a local theatre.
where a pair of Irish comedians were
earning their bread and pretzels by
the sweat of their jaws. One of them
was supposed TO be named Mccarthy.
but the real Mccarthy out in front
didn't know that Neither did he know
that the other nlesber Of the team says
the same old things night after night,
Finally this comedian, following mis-
schedule. waved his hand before him
and shouted: Mccarthy, the drinks
are on YOU
The man from Wyoming was on his
feet before he had time to think what
he was about. and called back
Il don't know yez. but if they're on
me I'll buy thin, What viii yez take?"
when Mccarthy got back to the Mer-
chants hotel that night it had cost
him just "a little over 81 to prove to
his friends that he fully appreciated
that the joke was on him.
Air. Mccarthy. it may be related in
cidentally. went to Casper eight years
ago without a thing on earth. but an
unpleasant memory of Cincinnati. To-
day he owns 10000 sheep and a bank
account that is lusty and growing.

ANCESTRY OF THE INDIANS.

II Il RECENT NUMBER of the
/ American Antiquarian Mr.. Charles
Hallock declares that the ancestry Of
the American Indians is no longer a
puzzle. that satisfactory evidence ex-
lists showing that they are descend
ants Of Koreans who migrated TO es-
care the tyranny of The Chinese. The
use of hieroglyphics, the similarity in
characters used. the architecture of
Central American ruins, and the Gus
toms OF the people recorded in what
remains Of their civilization. are ali
taken as proofs Of this origin.
MI HaHock believes that the immi-
grants retained their high civilization
until natural catastrophes of great
force and extent drove them to ref
uge in the area of the region made
familiar by ruins Of the cIiT-dwelIings;
and that there the people reverted
easily To- the low state in which the
Indians were found by the first Eu-
rOpean explorers. Mr. Hauock says
that the history of the great catas-
titlAF iHitH lNurQ Aiit hiN tiN MIA
zion IS inscribed in disjointed frag-
mems upon pyramids, temple walls and
mOno,ithS and that oral traditions of
a Cat2eiysm have been handed down
among the Inbians of the southwest
and are current even today. His con
clusion is that there can be 10 doubt
OF the close relation between the lest
tribes" who were the forerunners cf
the Indian, and the people of Egypt
and Asia.
The power of environment and cir
cUmstance in the degeneration Of these
people is "a most interesting corolIary
of Mr.. Hallock's theory. And it would
be interesting to know, il it were pos
sible. just what connection there is
between the biblical story OF the Hood
and the traditions of floods handed
down from the original inhabitants Of
Central America
