REGARD Fer THE THIRSTY.
One of the Attractions Of Capital City
to a Stranger.

Among the thousand and one at
fractions of the national capital" said
a New England man to a Washing
ton Star Reporter, ARE the little
pumps with ladies attached to them
that one finds scattered at various
points about the city. This makes
favorable impression upon one. as 1t
points out the fact that If man wants
drink of water when he is perambu-
iatinS the town he doesn't have to
seek whisky shop TO get 1t.
Now let me tell you something"
continued the man from New England.
Il was two days in New York this
summer. Never had been there be-
fore, and they were very hot days.

able GROCERY; we walked up to the
bar and he asked the man in charge

drink without violating my principles

COLORADO YARNS
MEDICINAL WATER AND CLAY.
What the Correspondent of an Omaha
Paper Learned in the Rocky
Mountains.

Although Ponce de Leon did not find
the fountain OF perpetual youth. re-
cent discoveries among natures won
iers in the Rocky mountain regions
are sufficient in Importance to lead en-
thusiastic ones to believe the magic
fountain may yet be encountered,
says Ross b. Franklin, in the Omaha
World Herald.
Near Steamboat Springs, in Routt
county. portion of Colorado Of which
comparatively little is known, except
TO the rancher. the occasional hunter
or the trapper, has just been discov-
cred a spring of milk-colored water to
which animals journey great distances
that they may partake of the fluid.
1t has been found that at this Sc
ductive mountain Mecca ell classes of
wild and domestic animals gather,
passing by, and even swimming across
clear mountain streams and the Big
Bear river en- route. The water of this
spring is found to contain great per
centage of magnesia, which accounts
fer its peculiar color, and although q
thorough analysis has not yet been
obtained. the water has been demon
strated to be a great restorative for
humans. A draught from this milk"
spring has the effect of creating in
stantly a glow over the entire body.
Frightening the eye, and dispelling ia
tigue. The spring was discovered by
travellers passing through Routt
county. whose horses deserted camp
during the night and were found near
the pool, about which were congre-
gated many wild animals.
Another discovery which has Just
been made by a geologist, near Beu-
lah. Colorado, consists of peculiar
clay. light in weight and color. This
clay deposit attracted the attention of
a man of science. who, while investi-
eating, inhaled considerable of the
dust, a portion of which found its way
into his stomach. Upon removing his
clothing preparatory to retiring, 1t was
found that he was perspiring freely
and that his body exhaled pungent,
yet not unpleasant odor. The under
something which looked like mud and
which was even then exuding from
the pores of the skin.
The peculiar incident was reported
to Mr.. II. II. Bourne. geologist for
the Beulah & Pueblo railroad, who
had been for years an intense sufferer
from dyspepsia Mr. Bourne took a
small quantity of the clay into his
stomach. received an early benefit and
proceeded to eat II regularly, followed
by draughts of hot water. After each
such dirt lunch" perspiration began
and the mud-like substance appeared
through the pores. Several pounds OF
this clay have been eaten by Mr..
Bourne. who although sixty-ive years
Of age, has freed himself of the dys-
pepsia, and claims to feel physically
able to whip his weight in wildcats.

Standardization has been a detri-
ment to the Navajo Indians. according
to J. II. Murray Of Aztec, New Mex
leo Owing to their being persuaded
by the pale face" to live in houses, he
says. tuberculosis has grasped the
tribe in its bony fingers and the death
rate increases each year.
Mr. Murray, who was at the Column
bia hotel last night, has lived in close
proximity to the Navajo reservation
for the last twelve years and has seen
the great braves of this. one OF the
most artistic tribes, transplant their
families from the wigwam houses OF
wood and adobe. He says most posi-
lively that the new life does not agree
with them.
Tuberculosis has become SO preva-
lent in the Navajo tribe" he said.
that the death rate is enormous.
They have lived so close to the white
man that they have adopted his ways.
They are no longer free and easy in
habitants OF the open. Living as they
do In huts, they cannot be healthy.
They are too congested, and while
they will live in the white man S
dwelling they VIII not live with the
white mans cleanliness and regard to
space. The ventilation in their
houses is bad and no attention is paid
to sanitary conditions.
1T is my honest opinion that II the
Navajos do not become more civilized
or else more uncivilized, the tribe Will
soon be extinct"
Mr.. Murray is a ranchman but has
mining interests near Boulder, which
explains his presence in the state
Denver Republican.
