" future greatness of the west is almost in
conceivable. These things are possible."
The ruins of the Aztecs and Pueblo In
dians, and great nations that are only
known iu tho dim past by the desolation
of mighty cities, tell us how densely pop
ulated were vast regions in the west in
an almost unknown antiquity. With
these ruins are old canals and irrigation
ditches, and in some of them there is said
to have been used a land of cement that
is now a lost art. These ruins are found
in arid sections where it would have been
impossible for a great population and
cities to havo thrived without vast irri
gation schemes. Theso great nations
have been swept away. How? No one
knows, but from the dim borderland of
that almost hidden antiquity there come
vp facts that when first considered scorn
almost like a dream. But it is history,
and let history repeat itself. The public
domain will soon be a thing of tho past,
and the present must look to the future,
and if this great water question is grasped
by our statesmen as it should be, it will
lay tho foundation for still new and
mighty commonwealths.
Is the Tain belt gradually moving west
ward? This is a much disputed question.
Irrigating ditches make more surface
water, and hence there is more evapora
tion. That proposition cannot be denied,
although it must bo admitted that the
rain does not always fall in the same lo
cality where the water was taken up by
evaporation. It-is also claimed by some
that tree planting docs not materially in
crease tho rainfall.
In the January numberof Science, Henry
Garnett says: "Over 100,000 square miles
of almost treeless prairie in Northern
Missouri, Southern Minnesota and parts
of Illinois and Indiana have been reforested
since their settlement, and furnish an ex
ample of reforesting unoqualed elsewhere
upon the faco of the globe, and yet tho
rainfall has not increased. On the other
hand, there havo been more acres of land
denuded of forest in the United States
withui a century than anywhere else in
the world, yet there is no evidence of a
diminished rainfall"
Professor Sargent, of Harvard college,
says: "The removal of a forest from any
" region will not diminish the amount of
rain falling upon it; nor can the increase
of forest in a slightly wooded or treeless
country increase its rainfall. The gradual
drying up of countries once fertile, within
the history of the human race, but now
barren and almost uninhabitable, must
be traced to gradual geological changes,
of 'course entirely beyond the reach of
human control, and not to the mere de
struction of the forest."
But there are able men who have thor
oughly studied the question and who state
that the rain belt is surely coming west
ward. Among the number are Professors
Wilber, Angbey, Snow, and ex-Governor
Furnass, of Nebraska and Kansas. The
observations taken at Fort Leavenworth
during a period of thirty-eight years are
said to indicate aa annual increase in tho
rainfall of 5.21 inches; thirty years at
Fort Riley, twenty-four at the State
Agricultural college, and seventeen years
at tho State university, Lawrence, Kan.,
are 6aid to give figures showing an in
crease in the rainfall of 3.03 and 3.06
inches per annum. Tho data is very
valuable, and seems almost indisputable.
But there is still a stronger authority,
tho farmers themselves. In Western
Kansas and Nebraska and Eastern Col
orado, farmers are now raising crops on
what was formerly known as the Great
American Desert. They claim that there
is a great future for that section, and
they raise crops without irrigation, de
pending solely on tho rainfall. And so
.whilo some scientists are doubting the
.statement that the Tain belt is coming
west, farmers are raising crops. If, in
that section, they can raise the cereals
without irrigation, so much the better,
but there are many millions of acres of
land that can never bo made productive
without irrigation, and let us have reser
voirs and great canals, and from what
are now arid, regions, in the west new
empires are possibilities. Will C. Ferril

CRYSTALLIZATION OF FRUITST
Tbe Method m Explained -to Califbrmia's
Board of Hortlcaltare.
The proccos-of preserving fruits in a
crystallized or glaced form is attracting
considerable, attention at the present tinm.
This process, though comparatively ;new
in California, has been extensively ope
rated in Southwestern France, for years,
the Uhited.States haying been heavy im-

theory is to extract "the juice .from the
lruib-anu xvpiHco. jv ltii bugpr tj.rm,
which, -upon hardening, preserves the
fruit from. decay and at fne same time
retains the "natural shape of the -fruit."
All kinds of fruit are casablo of beincr
preserved under this process. 'Though.
-me acuiou is very iuipie, iu us cer
tain skill required that is only ..acquired
by practice. -The several snccessive.steps
in-tho process are about as follows: First",

- The fruit- "having thus .been carefully.. J

in boiling water. The object of this is to

Bio is a succession of disappointments.
The only really pretty place is the Botan
ical garden, which 'serves to illustrate
what the whole city might be. All
varieties of food are peddled about, the
venders attracting attention by clapping
pieces of wood together and uttering
peculiar cries. There are plenty of street
car lines, and the cars are always crowded.
Everybody reads a morning paper going
down town, and an evening paper return

flies, and at night the air is full of fire

Cause of Premature Ace.
"I have 500 gray hairs in my head and
I'm only 36," said a friend to me, and
coming down in a street car another
friend took up the same theme and asked:
"Why is it we get old so quick in this
country?" I could not say, not being old.
"Wc livo in such a hurry," he said,
answering his own question. "All we
think of is getting money in this country.
In the old country they think of spending
it. I mean that we are reckless of how
the money goes after we get it, and so
we are extravagant and need more money
and strive harder to get it, and get old
young. I believe there are more lunatics
in this state of New York with its five
and a half millions than in all France
with its thirty-seven millions. In France
a man regulates his spending. He has so
much income. He makes it go as far as

A Chinese Opium Story.
Since the introduction of opium into
China millions and tens of millions havo
given themselves up to its use, its vic
tims being found in all the ranks and
conditions of life, among the old, the
middle aged, the young, and even chil
dren. But a ease of an infant becoming
a victim to its pernicious influence has
J'ust come to our knowledge. A man and
lis wife had been in the habit of taking
opium for years, and one of their chief de
lights was in indulging themselves over
the pipe In each other's company, each tak
ing alternate whiffs. One day the woman
. gave birth to a boy, and all the household
was in an ecstatic 'state of joyfulness. But
before long tho baby began to show signs
of illness, and although a physician was
sent for they could not discover the cause
of its symptoms. Every effort was made
to save the child, but he only grew worse
and worse until his parents gave him np
for lost.
In despair they took their pipe to
solace themselves, and behold! as they
puffed at the pipe the smoke was wafted
to the child's nostrils, and, giving a
sneeze, he instantly revived and began to
cry. Upon inhaling more of the smoke
ho changed his crying into laughing and
became exceedingly lively. After that he
was all right as long as he inhaled the
smoke at regular periods of the' day.
One day, however, his parents neglected
to give him the accustomed dose ofsmoke
and before they were aware he died.

"During the many years I 'devoted to

not only place and time but also the

autumn usually have a weakness for fair
weather. They are visionaries suffering
from inborn melancholy, and often poets
with ruined, dissipated .talents. The
great majority, however, are poor crea
tures' for whom sunshine is rather in- -vigoratiiig
than productive of a desire to
die. They think of dying for a long time,
but they do it as soon .as the weather

Deep sadness seizes the unfortunate suf

ter their past life contained forces its way
out of the depth of recollection, and
bursts forth in one agonizing feeling of
despair and disgust with tho world.
Those who try to plunge into the here

when one comes to their rescue, and with
out preliminary precautions to rescue
them is a dangerous undertaking.
"Many of those who resolve to drown

They walk up and down aong tbe shore,

They turn round all of a sadden and walk
quickly away. A few days afterward they
comeback and seem to reproach them
selves for having been socowardlybefore.
Instead of walking up and down! they now

One of the features of the government
of Great Britain is the postal savings
bank system. It is very popular and is
largely patronized by the public. Its use
fulness is beyond all question. United
States Consul Walling, at Liverpool, has
been investigating this subject and has
given- some "very interesting facts about
its workings in a report to the secretary
of state. The beginning of the govern
ment postal savings banks was in 1861
under a bill prepared and presented by
Mr. Gladstone. - It was .entitled "aa act
affording additional facilities for deposit
ing' small savings at interest with the
.security of the government . for the.due
repayment thereof."' On the day of the
opening of the first bankfe under this act
.435 deposits were received. One year
'afterward .the number had increased so
'greatly that there' were 2533 offices open
..for the. accommodatlon'of the pub&c.' In
'1886 tjje depositors-had increased in"numr
bar to 3,731,421, and the ainount of money
on. deposit 'was 50.874,338. .This in,
'American money-would To.f 350,000,000"
Depositaof one shilling or any number .of .
shillings' are received up to $150 or 30.
The' interest .'paid is 2fpr cent, a year

The first and great reason is .that
women do; not' keep theif heads clean.
Oftener they. are. too 'busy, with housed
keeping and children to' give the hair the
weekly shampooingand nightly brushing
it needs.. Still oftener they are too negli-
. gent or do not know that on strict clean
liness of the scalp depends their -chances

Houso'dust, which is'mainly dead animal
matter. thrown off by clothing and boils,
is deadly to lungs and hair. Honsemaid'H
consumption is generally due to breathing
ihe dust -and "flue of ill-kept chambers,
and the layer which collects at the.roots
of the hair kills it and causes the 'most
of the falling out of which matrons com
plain before 40.
When, women comprehend the baleful
influence of dust on the health, hair and
complexion, they will banish carpets, up
holstering and unwashing draperies, at
once and forever, as the great receptacles
and'absorbents of dust. When curtains
and carpets or large mats are used the air
constantly receives floating dust at each
movement; not much, it is true, in care
fully kept houses, but quite enough as it
gathers on the scalp, week after week, to
form with its natural ojj and sweat a thin
malignant crust in which the root of the
hair slowly decays ana drops. As 'the
most of women wash their heads. not
oftener than once in six weeks, the effect
is best left indefinite. Scalp irritations
are not unknown, causing months aad
years of trouble. But oftener the skin
of the head, clogged ami loaded with dead
scales of matter, loses its functions and
the hair drops out. Shirley Bare.
Kata on Beard Ship.
"We can always tell," said a West
India captain, speaking of the plague of
rats in port now, "when we have a few
or many of the pests on board. - The rats
' donot, as one would suppose, remain on
l. .it- vA i jrfl , l
the ship, but they get off at various ports,
and, after renraining awhile, ship on some
other vessel for another voyage. The
water rats, or wharf rats; are great trav
elers, and make frequent voyages around
the world. There are here now rats from
almost every part of the globe. Why, I
saw four colossal Jamaica rats, with their
white bellies, skipping about in 'the
moonlight the other night, and yesterday
I killed two Indian male rats on my ves
sel. "Bats are great climbers when they
find it necessary to do so. Upon one of
my voyages not long ago we had a long
spell of warm weather, and there was no
water in tbe hold which tbe small army
of rats on board could get at. One night
we put some water up at the cross trees
and waited for the result. Well, the rats
just swarmed up the rattlings and went
for that water. We killed as many of
them as we could as they came down,
and somo of them jumped overboard and
were drowned. But we could not kill
them all, and a few mado the entire
voyage with us." Philadelphia Record.
Fashions la Handwriting-.
There are fashions in everything nowa
days. Tho latest is in handwriting. At
least, I see that an instructor in that art
advertises at a stylish stationer's that he
will impart to our aristocracy, and I pre
sume any ono else who can pay for in
struction, the latest styles of fashlonablo
caligraphy. It used to be charged against
the old fashioned writing master that his
method of instruction deprived the pupil
of all individuality in tbe use of the pen.
Tho writing master taught writing after
tho fashion of a copperplate. The newer
stylo insists on an equal suppression of
individuality without the compensation
of elegance. Tho thing in handwriting
now is apparently to make it as illegible
as possible. The extent to which the
people succeed is certainly a credit to tho
master. John Preston Beecher in New
York News.
Advance of Civilisation.
Don Alphonso, brother of Don Carlos
of Spain, traveling as "Don Juan, de
Huelva, Count de Bourbon," is in Turke

made there along the Transcaspian rail
way. At Merv, which five years ago was
a crowd of felt tents and mud huts, he
found brick houses and macadamized and
paved streets, and at tho railway station
at Bokhara was a luxuriously fitted up
buffet with a young and pretty Russian
barmaid speaking French and German as
fluently as her native language. Twenty
years ago no Christian would havo been

The Skeena Indians.
The Skeena Indians aro described as of
low stature and degraded morals. They
are all heathens and sturdily refuse to
embrace Christianity. They are wild and
lawless, with no more notion of fairness
than a wolf, whose character they exactly
parallel, inasmuch as when they come to
tho store alone they are almost vexa
tiously meek and lowly, but when they
collect in numbers they are loud mouthed
and menacing. Their faces consist
mainly of mouth and cheek bones, with
small, flat uoses. Chicago Herald.
Theory of Bllad Reading.
The English Society for Psychical Re
search does not hesitato to accept the
theory called telepathy as an approved
and demonstrated fact. It is unanimously
accepted as the simplest method of ex
plaining a great many psychological
phenomena. Brushing away a vast
amount of fraud, these men of science do
not hesitate to say that it is demonstra
ble that mind can act directly on mind,
apart from such organic communication
as is furnished by the body. Globe

A lecture was recently delivered at
Madras. India, on that interesting and
familiar pest, the mosquito. The lect
urer, Mr. H. Sullivan Thomas, asserts
that it is only the female musquitothat
does tho biting. He considers the mus'
quitoamost useful pest, seven-eighths
of its existence being devoted to the
service of men and only one-eighth to
their annoyance. It exists in the larval
state twenty -one days, and during that
period engages in sanitary work with
ardor and thoroughness. Wherever then
is dirty water, wherever there is a filthy
drain, there the niusquito larva are to
bo found in hundreds, voraciously de

Search for' Old Watches.
There are a great many funny things
attending tho rise of the "Jenkinses.'' I
mean those people who have advanced in
material wealth without adding a whit to
their literary or social position. They are
bragging of an ancestry they never had,
and are at a loss to establish themselves
as members of the old families. Just now
there is a search for old gold watches,
which will bu paraded as family heirlooms,
handed down by tins or that distinguished
Roundhead, or Mayflower pilgrim. The
old Johnson watches, mado on Church
street, Liverpool, are among those most
eagerly sought by the man who wants to
trado money for lineage. Few of them
are left, and in Baltimore an especial mar
ket has been established, and large sums
are paid for them. Money is a great deal
denticr than blue blood, and the exchange
s willingly mado by those who have
lately acquired the shekels. Watchmaker
