entirely disappeared. There is still considerable snowfall over the Graham and Chiricahua ranges. The snowfall is melting slowly over the San Fran cisco range. There is as yet a contin- uous flow of water in the Giia river, the depths varying from feet to F feet In the lower Salt river the flow of water has almost ceased, only small and narrow pools, ranging in depth from one-half of foot to 8 feet, being visible. The Colorado and Little Col orado rivers remain almost bankful. While the volume of water in the rivers has flowed rapidly gulfward, and diminished at a steady rate. without any capacity for storage, the supply as yet far exceeds the demand. Water for stock, upon the desert lands and ranges, is becoming very scarce. Irri- gatiOn is being pursued generally over all sections. The larger canals, dams, laterals, and ditches, were running all most under full head during the entire week.

LIVING FOR THE FLAG.
A Beautiful Example of Devotion
From Our War Records.

n 6cautA1ul Example OF DevOeton
From Our War Records.
One Of the most touching as we'll as
the most beautiful examples Of devo-
ton to the flag is to be found In the
records of our civil war. The Six
teenth regiment of Connecticut volun-
teers after three days Of the hardest
and bloodiest of fighting became con-
vinced that defeat and capture by the
enemy was imminent The ranks were
depleted, and to hold out longer would
only involve needlessly further sacri-
fee of life. But even In their hour OF
peril the jealous patriots thought more
Of the fate Of their battle Scared flag
than of their own. Just before the
final assault on the breastwOrks the
gallant colonel shouted to his men,
whatever you do, boys, don't give up
our flag; save that at any price" In
an instant the flag was torn from Its
staff and cut and torn into hundreds
of small fragments, each piece being
hidden about the person Of some one OF
Its brave defenders. ....
The survivors of the regiment about
800 in number, were sent to prison
camp, where most Of them remained
until the end Of the war, each cherish
ing his mite of the regimental colors.
Through long months Of Imprisonment
many died, and in all such cases the
scraps of bunting guarded by the poor
unfortunates were intrusted to the
care of some surviving comrade.
At the end Of the war when the pris-
oners returned to their homes meet
ing Of the survivors was held, and all
the priceless fragments Of the flag
were sewed together. But very few
pieces had been lost, so that the re-
stored emblem was made nearly COM
plete.
That flag, patched and tattered as 1t
Is, forms one of the proudest possess
sions of Connecticut today and is pre-
served in the state capitol at Hartford,
bearing mute testimony to the devo.
ton of the brave men who were not
alone ready and willing to die for 1t
ON the field Of battle, but to live for 1t
through long years Of Imprisonment In
order that they might bring it back
whole to the state that gave it into
their hands to honor and defend.-St,

NAIL CHARACTERISTICS.
They Are an Aid In Diagnosis Of DIS
eases and Traits.

It Is said that the moon at the base
Of the nail Is simply an indication OF
good health and excellent circulation,
while the white spots are always the
accompaniment Of an impaired nerv-
GUS system. The common idea that an
external application Of vaseline Will
cure the white spots Is erroneous, and
those afflicted with the little "story
tellers" would far better turn their at
tention to securing perfect physician
health in the assurance that the spots
will disappear with improved circula-
ton.
1t lie not possible to create moons at
the base of the nails. Frequently the
moon is there, but through negligence
it Is covered by skin, which without
attention will grow upward over the
base Of the nail.
It is not generally understood that
the shape and appearance Of the finger
aatls are carefully considered and form
an important factor In the diagnosis or
disease. Long nails are said to indicate
DuJSlCdl WcdkhCSo NLo SShNSAASJ ~
lung trouble, and this tendency Is ag'
gravated where the nails are corrugat-
ed and yet more aggravated If they
curve from the top back to the finger
and across. Where the nails are long
and blush they indicate bad circula-
ton. This same type Of nall, but
shorter. denotes tendency to throat at
lection, bronchitis and the like.
Short, small nails indicate heart dis
ease. Where they are short fat and
sunken you may look for nervous dis
orders. The short nailed woman VIII
criticise her friends and her foes, but
she will eriticise herself with the same
severity. She is apt to be sarcastic
and sometimes so quick at repartee
that she appears almost brutal The
best dramatic and literary critics pos
sess this type of nail.

To Build Up Pastures

How to increase the productive.
ness of rundown pastures is d ques-
ton that is confronting many
farmers in the Middle and Southern
States. When we consider the
cause of the Improbable condition
of these pastures, we cease to won
der that they are not remunerative.
Much land in the United States
has been cleared of timber that
ought never to haye been cleared
land that is worth more to produce
timber than ANYTHING else. This
land has been wholly cleared of
| forests and either seeded artificially
or permitted to become seeded nat
urally to such grasses and other
plants as would maintain them
selves under the existing condi-
ltions.
| These grasses grew more Or less
luxuriantly for time, but finally
the soil became so exhausted that
they are now wholly unsatisfac-
tory. The question now is how to
restore the fertility Of which the
soil has been robbed.
The land must be made more fer
tile through the application OF
plant food or the growth of legWm'
nous crops, or both.
| If the land is not TO be plowed
but to remain in grass, undoubted
lily the owner should seed the Ian d
with clovers and grasses early IL
the spring. A mixture OF white
clover, alsike and red clover
would undoubtedly be better thar
either alone. With these may bt
mixed Timothy and june grass. Ii
is probable that nature will seec
the land to June grass, but some
assistance will help to make a gooC
turf sooner than if left to nature
A thorough narrowing, with i
spike tooth harrow, before the seed
ing would be most beneficial.
Immediately after seeding apply
a top dressing Of barn manure
The manure thus applied will no
only furnish plant food for tn
grass that is already on tho LAM
and the young seeding. but it will
form mulch to protect the voun'
, plants, and will materially he'll
them TO become thoroughly estab
, lished. IL the land is lined, thi
may be applied as a top dresslni
: some time during the fall preced
j, ing the spring seeding.
