There is a heavy immigration of Mormons inte the valley of the Casas Grandes River, in Northern Chihuahua. They have already several settlements there, which are usual ly nourishing ana prosperous. Iney en ter into all kinds df pursuits stock rais ing, mining, but principally in agricul turo. They have for two years past tried to raise the staple crops of the country without irrigation, and have succeeded admirably, although they tuny have met with exceptionally favorablw seasons. At all events they believe that they can raise crops and carry en a general system of agriculture without irrigation and by de pending entirely ou the rainfall. If the Mormon population of the Casas Grandes Valley increases much more a railroad from there to El Paso will assuredly be built.

Board adjourned f? meet April 5th. my face could only promise that its color would remain, If ray heart were only certain It would hide the moment s pain. I would meet you and would greet you in the old laminar tone. And naught should ever show you the wrong that you nave uone. If my trembling hand were steady, if my smiles nad not all lle1. If my eyes spoke not so plainly of the tears they onen cucu. I would meet you and would greet you ct the old sweet trystine plnce, And perchance youd deem me happy if you met me face to face. If the melody of spring tide awoke no wild re- fin:u. If the autumn's golden burden awoke no living pain, I would meet thee, and would greet thee, as years ego v.-e met. Before our hearts were shipwrecked, oa the ocean or regret. If my woman's soul were stronger, if my heart were not so true. l6hould long have ceased remembering the love l nau ior you; But I dare not meet or greet, thee, in the old t ami liar way. Dntil we meet in heaven, when tears have passed away. Temple Bar. Central American Coast Traffic. Most of the coastwise trafllc, the carry ing or goods of American or European production, to the various trading posts along the shore, and the bringing back irnits, rubber, sarsaparilla, palm nuts, SKins, ana sucu other products as the In dians gather in the forests lying eastward from 'Irujillo, is done by the aid of dories. These are no more than canoes, hollowed and hewn from Spanish cedar, mahogany or other trees, borne of them are of good size, six or seven feet beam, forty or fifty feet over all and four or five feet deep. Of course they are bnoyant, and under the management of the Caribs make good weather of It even in rather rough water. But on a wind they slide as fast to lee ward as they forge ahead. I am not sure that they do not, as a matter of fact, go two miles to leeward for every one they KO ahead, with a head wind. Of course they are practically useless, except when the wind is fair. E. W. Perry's Hon duras Letter in Chicago Times. The Gray Hair, Puller. Possibly tho most unique method of earning a living known is that adopted by a big, rosy, 20-year-old .blonde, "who ilnds engagements with .women just la menting their first gray hairs, to weed out, so to speak, those obnoxious remind ers of advancing years. The gray hair puller is gentle in her methods of treat ment, and makes periodic visits at inter vals of a few weeks, spending from hs: if an hour to two or three hours, letting down the hair, combing it out and spying for tell tale silver threads. She carr;'- an innocent looking little reticule, whi' h contains various glycerine and rose water preparations for a healing application when the work of torture has been done.
