From Africa to Spain.

Since my last letter We have re-
turned to this place from Bone,
Africa, and Gibraltar, Spain, second
time: Gibraltar is owned and held
by the British government. We
all got leave to 60 on shore this time.
It is sn old fort or stronghold said
to be the most impregnable in the
world, built over 800 years ago by
the Moors. They we're people who
came over from north Africa and
settled along the coast of the Medi-
tareniar in Spain, along time ago.
They lost all their possessions in
Spain and Gibraltar and were driven
back to Morocco.
Gibraltar is about one mile square.
It is a mountain of solid rock 1900
feet high and has passages cut all
through it to gun ports. A person
may 60 into one of these passages at
the bsse or near sea level and 60 oil
the way through and come out on
the extreme top. You can form
some idea of the immense amount of
labor it required to tunnel this fort
when there was more than = million
tons Of rock to be taken ou.. There
is little city built on the side of it.
From Gibraltar We went to Lisbon,
Portugal. This is large city about
the size of Baltimore, Md. Every
thing there is modern and up to
date. The people are much better
looking than in Spain. They are
robust and healthy and some are fine
looking. There was an earthquake
there in l73S which killed 10000
people. A part of the city sunk and
part of the remainder Sid down
on top of the sunken portion. It is
quarter of mile farther out in the
bay than before. The portion which
was sunk would be dug out if the
present city was not built on top of
it. The goods there are about the
same price as in the Uoited States,
and the quality looks the same. We
only stayed there two days and came
back to Gibraltar the third time. We
left on bne 18Th for Valencia where
we will say until after the eclipse of |
the sun which We csme here TO see.
1t is on the 3oth. I 60 with the
second party tomorrow a week and |
come back on the 3lst. We will
camp out for several days. There
are three parties to watch the eclipse |
from The United States, the Mime.
apolis, Dixie and Ceasar. One party |
here, one in Egypt and one some
where in Africa. There will be come
fiue instruments used this time to |
face the sun. Il
From Valencia we 60 to Villa
Franc, in France, for fifteen days, |
and if I can I will go to Rome for
several days among the Alongers and
the Msrehongers. I will give you . |
description Of Spanish bull fight
in my next letter. The weather is
as hot as biszes here, and We have
not had q shower of rain since We
left the United States. This place
ia noted for it's amount of cripples
and beggers. You may tell one no
dozen times and be or she will
follow you for ten miles for a penny.
I have been told it is q profession |
with the most of them and they Ger.
taiuly are practicing their profession. |
I think this is enough for this
time as I do not want to crowd out |
any of your other correspondents. |

THE TURN OF LIFE
A Time When Women Are Susceptible to Many
Dread Diseases-Intelligent Women Prepare
for 1t. Two Relate their Experience.

The "change Of life is
the most critical period
of a woman's existence,
and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near
is not without reason.
Every woman who
neglects the care Of her
health at this time in
vites disease and pain.
When her system is in
a deranged condition,
or she is predisposed to
apoplexy, or congestion
of any organ, the ten
dency is at this period
likely to become active
and with a host Of ner-
vous irritations, make
life a burden. At this
time. also, cancers and
tumors are more liable
to form and begin their
destructive work.
Such warning symp-
toms as sense Of sufo-
cation. hot flashes. head
aches backaches. dread
ofimpending evil, timid-
ity, sounds in the ears,
palpitation Of the heart,
sparks before the eyes,
Irregularities. constipa-
ton, variable appetite,
weakness and inquie-
tude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by in
telligent women who are
approaching the period

CATALOGUE ORDERS
OFTEN DECEPTIVE

Residents In this city have been re-
ceiving catalogues from lewelry iirms
and department stores in Portland and
from other places for some time, set
ting forth their wares. In them are
to be found cuts and prices OF the va
rious articles they have for sale, at
what they claim to be much cheaper
prices than can be found In the home
! to n.
About the dearest way to buy any
thing is through the medium OF a cat
aIogue. The difference between the
picture of the article or articles you
intend to buy and the goods them
selves when you receive them is quite
startling. There is nothing quite SC
deceiving as a photograph. An illus
tration of this can be found in the
tact that while most people think 1t u
necessary to put on their best bib and
tucker when they are going to "have
their picture took, "any photographer
will tell you that IL the clothes TT 1t
doesn't make any difference wLetber
they have quality OF not. III pre-
vailing mode has of course its infiu-
ence In making the picture appear
smooth. You wouldn't expect hat
or coat of the vintage 1880 to al pear
quite as pleasing as the tailored
clothes of today. 1t Is so with the
catalogue pictures of jewelry-they
look nice, but the quality isn't there.
As to prices, we have it from the
jewelers. in this city that they can
meet and beat the prices offered in
these catalogues on the same goods.
Before you decide to order anything
by catalogue, see the local dealers.
This applies to all lins Of trade as
we'll as jewelry. You will not then be
buying a "pig in bag.

Ell. S. Fairchild, one of our
oldest real estate Dealers sug-
| gests that real estate dealers
and owners organize an immi-
| grant association, and that this
association appoint a working
lcommittee to canvass the CITY
asking capable men to CORE
spond over their own names
with eastern and southern pa
pers, in localities whence they
came and where they are
known, setting forth the salu-
brity Of our climate, the fertil-
ity of our soil, the immense
yields this year of all products,
the adaptability of our state to
stock raising, inducements for
manufacturing, the rapid
growth of our city, etc. Our
city is growing fast in spite of
the apathy of our citizens. BY
the use of a little energy and
a small outlay of money, the
increase in population could
be quadrupled.
Mr.. Fairchild also takes this
optimistic view of the future:
with cheerful prospect for
the early completion of our
railroads connecting US with
the eastern roads and with
Lake Superior, and others pen
etrating the fertile valleys of
Minnesota, the upper Missis-
sippi and the Sank with prop
er efforts on our parts, ST, Paul
ought in six or eight years tot
have at least a population of
10000. This would demand
mand an almost exclusive de-
votion to business of all the
city from the river to Seventh
and Eighth street, which would |
cover all the amphitheatre of
hills that surround the city |
with beautiful suburban resi-
dences, and would make the
shores of many beautiful lakes
that surround the city the
thronged resorts of pleasure
the homes of men of wealth
and leisure, and the seats of
flourishing schools, where our
youth could be educated free
from the corrupting influences
of the city.
Ignatius Loyola Donnelly
has filed complaint in the
district court for $4,000 dam
ages to his reputation for an
alleged libellous article in the
Pioneer. The suit is directed
n
against Asa Goodrich, Angus

rich, Franklin l.. Goodrich,
Lewis E. Fisher and the Pio-r
neer Printing Co. He has re

We are able to state on good
authority that navigation will
be open until the first of De-
cember. A veteran observer
says that the river always
freezes at the full of the moon.
The moon filled Thursday,
Nov. 2, and the river is still
open: therefore it will remain
open until Dec. I'd, when it
fulls again. Steamboat men,
travellers and shippers can
govern themselves accordingly.
There is in the immediate
vicinity of st. Paul from $4,000
to $4,000 acres of peat of the
finest quality, and for the pur-
pose of fuel, equal to either
coal or wood, which can be cut
and dried ready for use at a
cost of about $3.50 per cord.

which appear to come nearer
to the peat fuel than anything
else within our knowledge,
The crude peat as it is cut
from the bog IS thrown into a
machine driven by a three
horse steam power, where the
pores are wholly broken. It is
then delivered into molds,
which are emptied by hand on
the ground, and the peat bricks
are then dried for use. A sin
gle machine will work forty
tons of raw peat daily, which
will yield about one-third it's
weight in condensed fuel.
Surely, in city the size Of
ST. Paul, where fuel is so
scarce and high, these peat
Dogs extensive aud accessible
as they are, afford a field for
speculation unsurpassed, if in
deed equaled by any within
our knowledge.
Out of over 400 Indian MUIR
derers who were taken from
Fort Smelling to the prison at
Davenport two years ago, only
270 are now alive. Confine-
ment. which is sure death to
an Indian sooner or later, is
rapidly killing them off. IF
this is more merciful and hn-
name than hanging we can't
see it. 1t would have been
better that the whole batch
had been hung at Mamkato
than to meet the same fate at
last by slow degrees.

who demanded as the price of

the hunters could not give, as
horses of this class are worth
about $3.50 each, but the hunt
