and finical peacocks by the diseased
desires OF mothers for unnatural clean
lincSs
That this desire for excessive clean
liness is in truth pathological is af-
firmcd by n medical writer i'm the
London Lancet. He describes IL as a
hatred or fear of dirt, and has no doubt
that it is an infectious germ disorder.
The woman whose highest ambition IL
To be regarded as the best houSekeeper,
who makes all enjoyment of the home
impossible 10y her eternal vigilance in
the matter of dust. whose mind seems
incapable Of entertaining any other
idea than that Of absolute cleanliness,
is obviously afflicted with this malady,
which is called mysophobia. That the
disease is extending is beyond doubt.
What has been called the force Of ex-

tee Governments plans are carried

The lesser irrigation enterprises that
have been launched upon the Colorado
ia the past have found their chief OBJ
s.acle to lie in the accumulation in
their canals of the sediment with
which the water is so heavily charged.
This silt is mostly worn from the
canon walls and carried down from
tine upper courses OF the river. The
grade Of the latter is so fat through
the desert that n diversion canal must
have so slight a fall and so low veioc-
ity that il cannot clear itself Of the
precipitated sediment. BY its present

ize this extrancous matter by impound-
ing ii upon some of the vast gravelly
