When any of these warning symp-
toms are experienced, the use of
Paine's Celery Compound will do won
ders for anxious and suffering women.
Paine's Celery Compound used reg
ularly for a few weeks will build up

1t has saved thousands Of women
from terrible sufferings and death.
Miss Annie Pasold, of De Witt, Iowa,
tells how Paine's Celery Compound
made her mother well and strong;
she says
my mother was taken very sick by
approaching change of life and was
confined to her bed for eve weeks.
We employed the best doctor, but his
efforts were of little avail. She could
not keep anything on her stomach,
could not sleep and she wasted to a
shadow. We procured a bottle of
Paine's Celery Compound for her.
It's use gave grand and %wonderous re-
suits. She soon slept well at night,
got stronger and her appetite return
ed. She is now well and strong and
does her work with pleasure. She
would not be without Paine's Celery
Compound for any consideration"

VENUS

Frank Loud, professor of astronomy
in the Colorado College sends this pa
per the following:
Tha bright star which is now seen
in the western sky after the disap-
pearance of the sun is the planet
Venus. Greatly as her brilliancy ex
ceeds that of her predecessors, Jupi-
ter and Saturn, that a month ago
withdrew from the corresponding
quarter of the evening sky, it is still
much below the ~splendor which she
will gradually assume as the months
pass on. The elevation N the heav-
ems from which she will look down at
sunset, and in consequence the length
of TINA after sunset during which
she will remain visible, will also IN
crease until the latter part of June.
She will then be more than three hours
behind the sun in crossing the meri-
dian. but will set at a somewhat
shorter interval after his descent be-
low the horizon. After this date she will
again approach the sun, but continue
to increase in brightness until August
IL. II her brilliancy at the end of jan
uary be represented by the number soft
will rise to 81 during February, to Gil
during March, to "A at the end ofAprii,
10 90 in May, to 1875 in June, to It's in
July, and al the twelfth of August win
stand at 1Ss. After hat date her re-
turn toward the sun will be much
FASTENED and by the end of the month
1t will require a sharp eye to detect
her white ray in the overpowering
sunset glow. Her actual passage be
tween us and the sun on the 18th OF
September, will be invisible. Before
that time the attention or stargazers
will have been drawn away to Jupiter,
whose greatest brightness will have
been attained on the 18th of the month
In the opposite quarter of the heavens
from the disappearing Venus
Venus is a globe about as large as
the earth. and approaches us within a
shorter distance than any other plan
ct of similar size. Yet astronomers
find great difficulty in obtaining GER
tain knowledge of the physical condi-
tons which prevail on the planets
surface. There is certainly an extern
sive atmosphere, and probably the
and clouds of earth are para
lelled,-possibly on an augmented
scale.-on the neighboring orb. The
point on which trustworthy informa-
ton is most ardently desired is the
time of rotation, answer to the length
Of our day. Some observations appear
to indicate that the day of Venus is
but half as long as ours, some make
it of about the same length, and others
two hundred and twenty-five times as
long. FRANK H. LOUD.

Up to the time of the close of the

Rivers MI. and Colorado.
From MaxweIl's Talisman.

From Maxwell's Talisman.
Prof. r. H. Forbes of the govern
ment agricultural station at Tucson.
Ariz, makes the following compare
son:
The Colorado river Is in many re-
spects remarkably similar I the his
toric Nile. Like the Nile, 1t rises in q
distant, mountainous country; its low
er courses traverse q subtropical and
nearly rainless desert; and both riv-
ers empty into great land-locked
arms Of the cea at q little less than
80 degrees north latitude. Like the
Nile. the Colorado has, for long dis
tances along its lower courses, Great
ed a narrow ribbon of fertile soil in
the midst Of the desert through
which it flows and has deposited a
great alluvial delta between Yuma
and the Gulf of California. The delta
is chiefly Mexican territory. Like the
great river of Egypt, the Colorado Is
subject to an annual summer
rise sufficient to overflow great
areas of its border and delta lands.
These high waters are rich In fertil-
izing sediments, are exceptionally
free from alkaline salts, and come at
an opportune time for irrigation.
When the Colorado floods are less
than normal, the Yuma Indians fail
of satisfactory crops, just as do the
Egyptians with q low Nile.
although the climatic conditions
In winter are slightly more severe
in the Colorado delta than in that OF
the Nile, yet these two regions close
ly resemble each other agriculturally.
Some common products are Cor may
bel alfalfa, wheat and grains Of the
sorghum class; the date palm, fig, or
ange, olive and p-omegranate: cot
ton, melons and sugar cane.
when the Colorado is understood
and utilized as successfully as is the
greater and better known parallel. 1t
will be recognized as the American
Nile, the creator Of a new country
for the irrigator and mother OF an
Occidental Egypt"

SIGNIFICANT.

THE question Of the division of
Bernaiillo county is not n OF very
great interest to the territory at
large. There is too much fuss and
tlerry over it. Ii is a local question
TO a great extent. To be sure it is also
q political question of interest to the
republicans of the territory. That
there is a factional fight among Ber-
naiiilo county republicans cannot be
successfully denied. The question
should he settled and no more legis-
iative time than is absolutely neces-
sary should be given it. Albuquer-
que and Bernalillo county are by no
manns the entire territory Of New Mex
ice. Let the matter be settled and give
the people a rest on Bernalillo coun-

Mr.. ALBRIoHT's RESIGNATION.

The request for the resignation of
George +. Albrighgt as manager OF
the Journal-Democra of Albuquerque
BY its owners would seem to indicate
quite a change of sentiment among
the republicans of Albuquerque who
are at last awakening to the fact that
the present rule of the party down
there should be shelved. Mr.. Albright
was against the division of Bernalillo
county and in this he opposed the
wishes Of the people of Albuquerque,
ninctenths of whom are said to favor
the creation of the new county. Mr.. Al
bright as councilman from that coun-
ty stood by the Hubbells who. for
various political reasons, did not want
to see the county divided though he
vas pledged to it. yet it is said Sc
cretely he did all he could to defeat
it.
Mr.. Albright has been connected
with the Democrat for the past twelve
years or more in the capacity of man
ager, when the paper was run as a
democratic paper and continued in
that position and changing politics
WIN the paper announced a little
owe two years ago its conversion to
the republican faith. Like a great
many other officials of New Mexico
who were erstwhile democrats. Mr..
Albright was rewarded last fall by
being elected to Office. that of coun-
Gilman from Bernalillo county.
II IS generally thought that part Of
the deal giving the public printing to
Mr.. Duncan and Mr.. Duncan's pur-
chase of the Santa Fee New Mexican
is that Mr.. Albright is to be the new
manager for that paper, and II such is
the case. Mr.. Duncan has shown wis
dom, as Mr.. Albright's practical train
Ing admirably FITS him for running .
paper like the New Mexican. which
has the reputation Of being kept 60

Ats derived from the public printing.
