ACROSS THE BORDER.

Chihuahua Enterprise: During the past week and more good rains have been reported over the state and the stock men are jubilant. It requires very little more rain to insure good range for the year. The rains have come too late for corn crops in the higher sections where the season is short. How ever, there is a fair prospect for corn and beans on unirrigated lands in the lower sections of the state if the rains continue.
 Chihuahua Enterprise: Colonel fChas F. Hunt, live stock commis- sion man of Ell Paso. was here this week and closed deal for 1S,000 head of beef steers. They were bought from Gen. Terrazas and are all to be four years old and up. These steers are to be delivered in the fall and most of them will be shipped to California. This is one of the largest purchases made in this state in years and indicates that the trade in the States is again looking to Chihuahua for beef cat tie.
 Chihuahua Enterprise: A Tor Teon report says that last week the Compafiia Metalurgica de Torreon was operating only seven out of its ten furnaces. This is due to ithe shortage of ore at the plant, brought about by the car famine that still prevails. One of the of- ficials of the smelter said the other day that they had great quantities of ore scattered along the railroads, and if the roads could only furnish tine necessary cars, the Torreon plant would be running to full capacity.

Chihuahua Enterpfises The Mexican Central railroad, in ac. cordance with a plan identical with Chat lately announced by Che Na- tionaI lines, has decided Co abolish second class fares, and to have in the future only two classes oi pas. senger rates--frst and third class. The new rule will go into effect early next month, and thereafter no second class tickets will be sold as such, although those who hold clergy books, and theatrical com penies composed of ten or more members, will travel as heretofore, first class at the old second class rates.
 Chihuahua Enterprise: From the mining town of Batopilas comes the report that corn and beans, the staple foods of the laboring classes, are very scarce and being held at very high prices. The state gov ernment has recommended to the authorities of Batopilas to proceed in the buying of those staples and sell them at cost if necessary. This is a plan quite common all over Mexico. Whenever the price of staple foods become scarce and dealers put prices on them beyond the reach of the poor the govern ment takes hold and goes into the business. Thus no combinations can oppress the poor very badly.
 Chihuahua Enterprise: Mining deals have not stopped on account of the hot weather. Two aggregat- ing $300,000 gold were closed last week and a mining man from the States passed through here going out to close another. This week a contract was made by an American syndicate for the purchase of two gold properties in the Batopilas district for S245,000 gold. There has scarcely been week since June last that some mine deal has not been consummated or ne gotiations commenced for one or more properties.

The ChiId's Skin.

The chief peculiarity about the
treatment of skin disease in children
is that the reaction to the remedies
applied is more prompt than in adults,
says a writer in the London Hospital.
Moreover, since the risk of absorption
is by no means inconsiderable, oint.
ments and lotions containing power
full poisons, such as carbolic acid or
mercury, should not be employed. un-
less we'll diluted, over large surfaces
of the body.
Certain cutaneous LESSONS also are
transient, so that one is left with
their results, notably the scratch
mark and the scab. The history of
the mode of onset of an eruption. as
given by an intelligent mother or
nurse, is. therefore. of greater value
than the statement of the patient him
self. who might even be unaware Of
the existence of anything wrong with
his skin.

ON A MAcKEREL SCHOONER.
Daily Routine in the Life of the Giou-
cester Fishermen.

The routine life on mackerel
schooner is not strenuous. The crew
consists of IA men, a skipper and
cook. Two men constitute a watch,
one aloft as lookout, the other at
the wheel, so that each man has two
hours on duty, and then IL hours off,
before his turn comes around again.
During this period he may be called
on to shorten sail, wash the deck or
to perform other work. Half of the
crew have their hunks forward with
the cook, who is king of the forecas-
tie, and the rest sleep aft with the
captain. We were assigned to a
double bunk aft, where we were not
troubled with galley smells, but had
to be on our good behavior. All the
roles and revels were forward. The
crew ate in two shifts, the older men
with the skipper.-Travel Magazine.
