The Better Half Indeed.

An English judge recently had an in- spiration. A defendant appeared too dull to make a defense or answer in- telligibly questions put to him by the judge. Suddenly the judge said, Where do you live" and the ineligible reply, About five minutes off," was at once forthcoming. "Then just run home and fetch your wife, and run a little quicker than you talk" It was done, and the wife's clear and businessliks statement of the facts won the day for her helpless husband.

$500 Concerning the conditions at the Mexican intake and what happened there when the flood was raging, we quote the following from the Yuma Sun of March 22nd:
 George Ssxsmith came up from Imperial Heading yesterday and will remain here month or six weeks in charge of the work of shipping material down the river and the construction of the great dredge that Is to be built here for use on the canal.
 Speaking of the late high water Mir. Sexsmith says the works at the head ing suffered no damage but 1t made us sweat blood for about six hours" to keep the water from breaking through the embankment into the excavation where the head gate is to be built. The water level In the river was fifteen feet higher than In the excavation and had it raised foot or two higher it would have been all up with the head gate"
 The magnitude of the work of build ing dam across the Mexican Intake is suggested by the fact that a railroad track is to be built on piles across the river for conveying earth from the bank to be thrown on the brush foundation of the dam. This railroad is to be a mile in length.

BELLS AS BAROMETERS.
Their Tone Will Indicate What the
 Weather Will Be.

Thef rome VIII ln01cate what tne
 Weather Will Be.
 Church bells can serve another pur pose besides ringing you to worship. They make good substitute for barometer. AS the atmosphere is the sole conductor of sound from the bell to the ear, it is obvious that the in tensity and quality of the sound as perceived by the ear will depend on the state of the medium through which 1t comes. For instance, if bells sound very distinctly of an evening, this points to the probability of wet day following, since air heavily charged with moisture conducts sound better than dry air. So, too, as dense air con- ducts better than light air, bells sound more clearly when the barometer is high than when it is low, other things being equal, and so, too, with hot and cold air. These principles are familiar to all country folk living within the sound of church bells. About i've miles from Lebekke, in Belgium, there are some small bells which are called "water bells." When they are heard distinctly in the town rain is sure to follow.-London Spectator.

Heroines, Old and New.

Most modern heroines are married women, whereas the nice ones in Shakespeare and in novels before 1890 were almost always unwedded maids. You like Beatrice and Portia and, above all things, Rosalind. You do not lose your heart to Lady Macbeth (though fine figure of woman), and you do not desire to compete with Othello in the affections of Desdemona. This may be too nice morality, but to Victorian taste even widows, in novels at least, come under the ban of the elder MT. Weller. Nobody but Colonel Esmond ever cared for Lady Castle wood, and Dobbin Is alone in his pas sion for Amelia.-Andrew Lang in Lon don Post.

A HISTORIC SHELLFISH.
The Purpura Was Quite q Factor In
 fhe Worlds Civilization.

A small sea creature has done a lot to assist the development of civiliza- tion. It is known as the murex or purpura. From it the Phoenicians manufactured the Tyrian purple, the origin of their wealth and prosperity AS each shellfish yielded but one drop of the dyeing material and as 300 pounds were needed to dye fifty pounds of wool the home fisheries became in time exhausted. Then, finding it neces- sary to seek a supply elsewhere, the traders started on the first voyage of discovery ever made. Owing to this voyage the Mediterranean, with all the countries that surround it, was dis covered
 Through this small creature also the first colonies were founded. The Phoe nicians, finding it impracticable to bring home large shiploads of the fish, built at those spots where the raw ma terial abounded factories, which gradu- ally developed into permanent settle mentS.
 And as many of these colonies were founded on Grecian islands the apt natives quickly acquired the arts and industries of their visitors, which were soon diffused throughout Greece, and the first seeds of civilization were sown.

EVIDENCE OF PROSPERITY

Beginning with this issue we resume the publication of our paper in Its five column eight-page form. When we moved to Fl Centro we expected to only publish a six column folio for some time to come. This however, soon proved too small for us. The generous recognition of the value of the PRESS as an advertising medium, compelled an enlargement of the sheet so last week we published six pages, six columns The six page form. hcw- ever, is unsati factory to our readers and more expensive to us. so we this week resume the issue of the PRESS as five column, quarto. A glance at our columns will illustrate our point In this issue we are carrying about $50 column inches of advertising. Our pa per contains 72O column inches of space. Of this, less than 700 inches Is available, the rest being taken up in head, date lines, etc. It is always the rule to give as much space to news matter as is taken by advertisers. So 1t is clear. our patronage calls for an eight page paper, and we congratulate both our readers and advertisers on the fact The more our patrons advertise, the better paper We can furnish our readers. The better paper we publish the more subscribers we will get. and the more valuable our paper will be as an advertising medium. So it is an -sndits- chain, and the advertisers are an indispensable link. So here Is long life and prosperity to our advertisers, and may their tribe increase.

THE USEFUL YAwN.
This Lung veutIIating Process Serves
 Double Purpose.

The act of yawning is distinctly bene- ncial in two ways. Tn the first place it serves the purpose of lung ventila- ton. The lungs are not alled or ex- hausted by ordinary respiration. There is a certain quantity of air which phys iologists call residual air left in the recesses of the lungs after the ordinary respiration. This in time becomes viti- ated and affects the blood and, through it. the nervous centers.
 The result is a yawn, which is really @ stretching of the respiratory chamber to it's fullest capacity and the filling of it with freshly inspired air which drives the vitiated air out. Yawning is also beneficial in so far as it opens, stretches and ventilates the vocal, na- sal and auditory chambers in immedi- ate connection with the mouth.
 The cracking sound often heard when yawning is due to the stretching and opening of the eustachian tubes, which form a communication between the middle ear and the back of the throat. The deafness which often accompanies a cold is due to the congestion of these tubes.-London Hospital

THE WATER SITUATION

The sudden raise in the Colorado river noted in last weeks issue. began to arrive in the New river and Alimo, last Sunday. At Calexico the water rose rapidly until on Thursday it reached a height several inches above any pre- vlous gauge. It drowned out the Cal sxico water works. greatly to the in convenience of the people of that town, and would have flooded the town itself but for hastily constructed levee along the railroad track. All the low lands south of the main canal in Water Go. No. was covered and the canal itself for about three miles from the head of the Dogwood lateral. west, to the big bend, was In danger for three or four days. Superintendent Farms worth gathered his clans, and by most heroic efforts kept the bank built up above the rising waters till the tide was stemmed and the waters began to fall. It was very close call all around. The water reached Its highest on Thursday and all most at once began to fall. It has gene down about three inches a. last report. and the canal banks are believed to be safe. Had the canal given way. the very heart of Imperial Water Go.
