and culture, where the ideals of per-
feet conditions for existence are as
nearly attained as possible.
The Great American Desert in 1900
yielded over $100,000,000 worth Of
metals. chiefly silver copper and gold.
and there is every reason to expect
that the mineral output of the desert
will be quadrupled in the next decade
The total population of the Great
American Desert in 1900 was about
100000 people, or 1.5 to the square
mile, or twice as many to the square
mile as the Sahara. OF this total pop
ulation in the United States, 100000
are in southern California, leaving
less than one person to every two
square miles in the remainder of the
territory. or the remaining 100000
people in the American portion of the
desert, at least four-fifths are in cities,
towns and mining camps.
AS a place of residence the desert
is one of the most salubrious on
earth. Like the greater ocean, the
desert has been great storehouse of
tragic, pathetic and mysterious his
tory. What stories could it tell of the
humiliation of those who have tried
its conquest before the coming of the
railway! Now and then an old bride
bit, a spur, perhaps buckle, rusted
and corroded, recall the days OF Span
ish reconnaissance. Great ruins like
those of Casa Grande, Gran Quivera.
of San Vincente testify IN the death
of communities that failed by organ
lied effort to thwart natures inexor-
able law Deserted houses of more
modern structure, such as those of old
Fort Bayard, recall the days not long
past when soldiers lived and endured
the desert life. But now steam and
telegraph have annihilated even the
Great Desert distances, and its future
is bright and hopeful.

Mathematical Facility.

In one OF the public schools recent
ly, according to a writer in the Gen
tleman's Magazine. number of small
pupils were busily engaged in working
problems in multiplication, with more
or less satisfactory results.
After time the teacher noticed one
little fellow who seemed most un-
happy. HIS cheeks were flushed, his
hair tumbled and tears were very near
the surface The teacher said, in a
kindly tone;
We'll. John. what is the matter?"
"Oh dear, | wish l was rabbit"

THE DEFENSE OF TME SPARROW.
Benefits the Farmer More Than lie
Cost. Him,

My experience with the sparrow,
has proved to me- says a writer. that
he is the farmers best friend. He is
the first little fellow in the 6pring to
pounce on and destroy all the cater
pillars and insects that are destructive
to the farmers crops, and he keeps
pegging away at these vermin until
the grain is ripe. Then the crops are
so far advanced that they are safe.
All he asks in return for the benefit
he has been to the farmer is a little
grain to carry him through the fall
and winter So few know the reason
for the introduction of the English
sparrow to this part of the world that
| wish to give II. Many years ago the
streets OF New York were lined with
beautiful trees. In the spring. as soon
as they began to put on their summer
Foliage. they were attacked by an ugly
looking green worm called the inch
worm. Thes. would deyour all the
leaves, leaving the tree perfectly bare,
and then hang from the trees in mil
lions by silken thread. They be
came such an intolerable nuisance that
a great many people had the trees cut
down to get rid of them. After the in
PRODUCTION of the sparrow this nuls-
ance ceased to exist He did his work
bravely and well. This certainly is a
proof of the benefit he is to the farm
er. You can depend on 1t that he des-
troys more harmful insect life in pro-
portion than he takes back in pay for
what grain he eats

STRENUOUS LIFE IN WASHINGTON
Coiored Citizen Has Rest of Argument
with Trolley Car.

with TrOuey Car.
A dusky citizen of Washington while
laboring under the effects of several
pints of hallucination attempted to-
wreck a Pennsylvania avenue motor
car one evening last week. He butted
into it with great force, the impact
driving the car back a considerable
distance and putting out all the lights.
Several passengers who were dangling
from the straps were flung to the floor
with much violence and the startled
fare register rang up seven unauthor-
ized fares.
The shock was felt even in the power
house, where the pipe of the chief en-
gineer was rudely hurried to the floor
and tAe night watehmans dinner pail
fell or window sill.
Experts VINO saw the accident are
convinced that the only thing that
prevented the telescoping feature,
which, which is usually character
istic of head-on collisions, was the
elasticity of the colliding bodies-or
rather, of the dashboard and the dusky
| head.
Strange to say, the only visible indl-
cation of the collision is a deep dent
| in the forward end of the motor, the
other party to the bump having walked
off apparently in good condition. =

THE GENTLE SPRING.
POET RoUsED TO FRENZY BY TINS
GLAD SEASON.
Humorist OF the Baltimore American
Strings Together Few Vagrant
Verses to Celebrate the Advent of the
Crocus Buds aud other Things.

Behold the robin singeth from early
dawn till night; and they that sell the
garden seeds do work with main and
might to cultivate the custom of the
poor suburbanite.
Yea. verify, the bluebird atop the
garden fence, to chirp his merry mel
ody doth eagerly commence-but stop
peth for the insect that tempts his
hungry sense.
The peach crop in New Jersey is
frosted as of yore-'til told in daily
kilograms and messages galore-and
thus we know that gentle spring is In
our midst once more.
The gentle poet seeketh for mouth
to find rhyme and writeth gladsoms
ntties about the joyous time; and
frisketh all his pockets to find way
ward dime.
The lively iris tlnteth the breast OF
FURNISHED dove in ballads penned as
parodies and winding up with love-
the which to the waste basket get the
same insistent shove.
The fancy of the youthful to tender
channels turns; and for some giddy
damsel every soulful swain now
yearns; while on the wayside alley the
winter garbage burns.
The willy haberdasher displayeth
--latest stock" the crafty man who
maketh hats announceth newer blocks,
and in the shirts the ribald tint some
other color mocks.
The pink and crimson blossom lends
luster to the trees, where sigh the
soothing cadences of browsing honey
| bees-and pessimistic weathermen
! give warning OF a freeze.
The ladies fiutter wildly from homo
to shop and store; they purchase lace
and silks and things of shape and hue
galore, until the cruel husband says
he can't pay any more.
The milliner triumphant concocteth
Paris hats-in pyramids and up-and-
downs-in pancakes, rounds and flats
and fondly of the elevated price she
calmly chats.
The proud and bloated coal man.
with countenance benign, declareth
that the weather is wonderfully fine.
and hath the legend lice" Installed
where Coal" was on his sign.
At Crown Point Indiana, they have
rain of frogs; the skeeters in New
Jersey tune up in all the bogs; and
up in Pennsylvania are snakes as big
as logs.
The Custerville Palladium asserteth
that Bill White is painting up his barn
again with all his main and might.
and that the cutters should be cleaned,
as they're an awful sight.
The politicians cunning their willy
ways resume, and lend an air OF JOY
fulness to erstwhile winter gloom by
harping on the merits Of the presiden-
tial boom.
The man who writeth jokes takes up
his trusty fountain pen and babbleth
of hcuse-cleaning woes that poster all
the men and ringeth in tired feeling"
for the thousandth time again.
The landlord getteth busy-and ask
eth every day IL there be any more re-
oairs that ought to come his way. for
well he knoweth folks will move about
the first of May.
Aye, verify 'tis true, indeed, as true
as anything, that this, my child. is
now the time whereof the poets sing
by all these signs and symptoms 1t
is now the gentle spring.
