SONORA SETTINGS.
a Collection of Happenings in the
 State Over the Line.

Mir. Pedro Mesa and family. from La Concentration, were at the Grand Hotel in Hermosillo Saturday of last week.
 Near Suaqui Grande the gold dredge of the Chicago X Sonora Gold Placer Mining Company is again in successful operation, after an enforced suspension on account of the boat having been carried away from its place by freshet. It is reported that during the four months of operation preceding the mishap the operations were very successful, and that very handsome returns were secured. Two more dredges are to be built and set to work.
 General Luis E. Torres, who has been some months in the City of Mexico and other points in the interior of the republic, has ar ranged to colonize with agricul- turists the lands on the north side of the Yaqui river, in the Quay mas district, in the vicinity of Potam and Cocorit, where a large canal is in course of construction Recently the first instalment of colonists arrived from the state of Coahuila. It included 135 fam ilies-several hundred persons and filled three passenger ears. They have gone forward to their new home.
 The influx of winter visitors at Guaymas is this year particularly noticeable, Every season the crowd of tourists visiting the So- nora metropolis is larger The beating and fishing on the bay and in the gulf are particularly attrac- tive, and there are good hunting and excellent drives in the yicin- ity, all of which contribute to the pleasure and occupation of the stranger At the Hotel Armada every attention is given every want of the visitor, and Landlord Gonzalez, with his good corps of assistants, devote unremitting at tention to their comfort and enjoy ment.

To the Grave In spectacls..

At recent funeral 1t was noticed
that the face Of the dead was adorned
with glasses. Naturally the queer dec
Grafton occasioned surprise. Even the
undertaken seemed hardly to know
what to make OF II.
However" he said, this is not the
first time l have buried a man with
glasses on. But the instances have
been 80 few that l haven't got used to
the idea. Certainly ] never add that
finishing touch Of my own accord. It
10 always done at the request Of the
family. In every case | find that the
deceased and his glasses were insepa-
rable in life, and In order to preserve
the likeness they are to be still undi-
vided in death. Personally, think the
notion inartistlc, but art IL not my
business. When anybody wants to be
buried In glasses that's the way bury
him."-New York Times.

Several different countrles--America
Asia Minor, Tartary, Madagascar and
Australia-bave shrubs and flowers
which are, locally at least, known as
compass plants" The compass plant
OF the United States IL the common
rosln weed Of our western prairies,
which has the long leaves near the
ground set In vertical position in
such way as to always present the
edges to the north and south. This pc
culiar propensity OF the rosin weed is
attributed to the fact that both the up
per and lower surfaces OF the leaves
demand an equal share Of light, some
thing which can be said of but few
known plants, the upper surfaces usu-
ally being much more sensitive to both
light and heat than the lower. This de-
mand for a share Of Old SOILS attention
causes the leaves to stand in the man
ner mentioned above.

We read very frequently how the
hero or heroine had chloroform sonk.
ed handkerchief pressed over the nose
and became at once insenslble. Chloro-
form does not act In that way. It
causes excitement before anything APP
preaching to loss OF sensibility, and
when insensibility has been reached
the patient begins to kick and throw
his arms about.
We are also told how he or she swal-
lowed the drugged wine, gave a gasp
and fell back senseless. The only
senseless person In the business IL the
novelist. An absolutely poisonous dose
Of laudanum would not cause loss OF
consciousness until several minutes
had elapsed after it's being taken.
But the prize must be awarded to the
writer who says that 1.-THE victim rails
ed the glass containing strychnine,
drank Its contents and fell down dead"
The victim would probably lie down
sooner or later. Then he would writhe
and twist, groan and cry aloud, for the
strychnine would seem to be tying his
inside and his muscles into knots.
