THE FIRST PONY EXPRESS.
How It Was Welcomed by the People
of Sacramento.

Cornelius Cole, ex-senator from
California, tells in his Memoirs" how
the first pony express" reached Sac
ramento. Cal, long before the first
transcontinental railroad was sur
veyed. Those who were there to wit
ness 1t will never forget the arrival of
the first of these express messengers
at Sacramento. 1t was an occasion of
great rejoicing and everybody, big and
little, old and young, turned out to see
the fun. All business for the time
was suspended; even the courts ad-
journed for the event. A large num-
Der of the citizens of all classes, grave
and gay, mounted on fast horses, rode
out some miles on the line to meet
the incoming wonder.
The waiting was not long. The
little rider upon his blooded charger,
under whip and spur, came down upon
them like meteor, but made not the
slightest halt to greet his many Wis
itors. Then began a race of all that
waiting throng, over the stretch back
to the city. the like of which has never

Our Father, who art in heaven,

for irrigation If this moisture fell as
rain it would almost Immediately
wash down through the rivers, which
would hardly be fed at all in the sum-
mer when the crops most needed
water.
These facts are so we'll known as to
be commonplace in the Salt Lake val
ley and in the subarid regions of the
west generally. They are not so well
understood in New Jersey or Ohio
where snow is sometimes a pictur-
esque, sometimes disagreeabIe fea
ture of winter.
In all parts Of the country the notion
prevails that the snow is of great
value as a fertilizer. Scientists, how
ever, are inclined to attach less i'm
portance to its service in soil nutri-
tion-for some regions that have no
snow are exceedingly fertile--than to
its worth as a blanket during the
months of high winds. 1t prevents
the blowing off of the finely pulver-
lied richness OF the top soil. This,
although little perceived, would often
be a great loss.-Chicago Tribune.

Most Common Physical Defect.

OF the many physical defects to
which human flesh is heir, the most
common and the most injurious In its
results is the displacement downward
of the upper part of the body. Such
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, we call it in
medicines shown by the flattened
chest, the depressed and protruding
abdomen, the prominent outstanding
collar bones, and the faring shoulder
blades.
AS an indication of the remarkable
prevalence of this deformity, | may
mention that, as the result of an ex-
tensive series of examinations cover
ing several thousand subjects, found
less than one per cent. of bodies that
were not collapsed and depressed. In

lF SNOW NEVER FELL.
The Effect Upon the Worlds Crops
Would Be Disastrous.

II all the condensed moisture of the
atmosphere were to fall as rain and
none Of it was snow. hundreds of
thousands of square miles of the
earth's surface now yielding bountiful
crops would be little better than a
desert. The tremendous economic
gain for the world at large which re-
suits from the difference between
snow and rain is seldom realized by
the inhabitants of fertile and we'll
watered lowlands.
II is in the extensive regions where
irrigation is prime necessity in ag-
riculture that the special uses of snow
come chiefly into view All through
the winter the snow is falling upon the
mountains aud packing itself firmly in
the raviues. Thus in natures great
dollhouse a supply of moisture is stored
