Noted Horticulturist Dead.

The Denver News of June 30th says:
David s. Grimes, the well known pio-
neer horticulturist of Colorado, died
Wednesday at his late residence, 303S
West Thirty-second avenue, at the age
of seventy-seven. He had been i'll
about three weeks.
Mr.. Grimes was one Of those far
seeing pioneers who have built up the
West and his services to the state
have been incalculable. 1t was his
unbounded faith In its agricultural re-
sources that has helped to make it
what 1t is to-day, and when he discov-
cred Grand Junction and doomed it as
a great belt for fruit he was laughed
at and thought to be visionary.
Mr.. Grimes was born in Leesburg,
Virginia, in 1928, and came out to Col
orado with the Greeley colony in
1871. Seven years later he moved to
Denver and settled on the land where
he afte-ward built up a large fruit,
ornamental and shade tree nursery,
and many of the oldest orchards Of
the state were stocked by him.
When the government wanted in
formation regarding the propagation
and transplanting of the mountain
spruces of the Rockies Mr. Crimes
furnished the necessary seed and in
structions for this purpose. Foreign
nurseries and large estates learned of
him and he established a profitable
business shipping native seeds to
nurseries and for public parks and
landscape gardening on big estates in
Europe. His knowledge of the fauna
and flora of Colorado and the Rocky
mountain region was very profound
and scientific. and he had cores pond.
ence with the noted men OF Europe
and America in this line of investiga.
tion and research.
For the last few years the large
nursery business established by Mr.
Grimes on the North side has been
run by his son, William H Crimes
who became a member of the firm in
1892.
Mr. Grimes was a veteran Of the
Civil war and was member Of the
G. A. r. organization. He will be
buried beside his wife in Fairmount
cemetery.

FuriinQ Sails by Machinery,

The principle of the common roller
window curtain has been adapted to
the handling the sails of vessels by a
retired sea captain. who has invented
system by which the sails can be
raised or reefed from the deck with
out the use of steam power. Practi-
cally. the device consists of set of
winches placed at the foot OF each
mast. whereby single man by turning
crank can furl, unfurl, or reef a
sheet in one minute. These winches
are go arranged as to take up their
own slack by reversing cogs, the sails
themselves working on sleeves encirc-
ling the yards. By slipping a brake
the sheets are allowed to unfurl them
selves by system of counterbalanc-
ing weights. With one seaman work
ing at the cranks the yards Oh be
braced. eased away, or hauled around
before the wind in few minutes, and
the sails can be held at any des,red an
gle to the wind.

SUMMER AIDS TO BEAUTY.
Some Simple Rules and Lotions for the Benefit of Feminine
 Renders,

Cucumber peelings, boiled in water, will be found good for the skin. A slice of cucumber may be rubbed on the face, instead of soap. Lemon juice will re- move sunburn. Dill water is as good for the complexion as rose water, though it makes the skin paler.
 Elderhower water is famous for its cooling properties, as is also lavender water.
 Never go out in blustery weather without veil unless you wish tanned skin or freckles.
 Do not forget, when drying the face after washing, to rub upward toward the nose. This will prevent wrinkles, and will help to smooth out to great extent the crease alongside the nose.
 Use neither hot nor cold water ex- clusively for bathing. A good rule to follow is hot bath at night and cold one in the morning, but be sure to take a bath daily if you wish to keep your skin in good condition.
 Do not wear tight shoes if you desire graceful carriage; no woman can walk comfortably or well in shoes that are too small for her feet. Do not wear too small gloves
 Avoid tight lacing and any form of dressing which congresses any organ of the body. Mrs. Murphy, in Ladies' Home Journal.

it, however, finds parallel in the case
 of certain nations, who believe that a
 diamond placed in a glass of water com
 municates many virtues to the fluid,
 making it exceedingly valuable in the
 cure of disease. In Jamaica the natives
 believe resolutely that people, with
 warts can get rid of them, provided they
 use piece of pork fat to rub the ex-
 crescences and then bury the fat i'm
 mediately after using it, a new piece be-
 ing used for each application. For the
 cure of warts, indeed, somewhat sim
 liar remedy is in vogue in certain parts of England. the excrescences being
 rubbed with piece of beef, which must, however, be stolen before it is used and must then be carefully buried. Breathing on wart nine times at the time of the new moon is also declared to be very etfectual in removing them.
 Among other remarkable methods of curing must certainly be mentioned one which is much used in certain parts o1 the'Iyrol for cancer. This consists in decapitating and skinning lizards, the flesh of which is cut up into pieces and swallowed by the patient without cooking or any modification. After,a few doses of this ''drug" have been swallowed they are said to produce a profuse precipitation and gradually a off of the cancerous growth. which is repaired by perfectly healthy tissue. Scarcely less potent is a mode of healing which is much vaunted in certain quarters of India. This may be called "color healing." It consists in administering water in glasses of diff ferent colors, from which color the 1raught obtains it's properties, which ire magical in their effect-provided the patient is endowed with sufficient faith. Water in red glass will cure epilepsy, insomnia, nervous diseases. the plague, levers and agues and half score of the other diseases which nor al Hesh IS heir to.
