Once again attention has been strongly called to the need of the Nicaragua canal. On the Pacifio coast we are getting but a small share of the profits resulting from the recent great advance in the price of wheat in Europe. Wheat which has to be sent around Cape Horn can not get to Europe until the new crop of wheat has been harvested and by that time the price is likely to have fallen very much. If the Nicaragua canal were in operation our wheat could be landed in Europe before the new crop is in market and we would en joy the same proportionate profits as have been realized by holders of wheat east of the Rockv Mountains. THE ORGAN. Ita Preaence In ma Indian's Home an Evi dence of Aristocracy. When travi'ling over the Crow Creek uml ixiwer llrule reservation, uxljnuvnt to this city, it ia no uncommon sight, Hiiys the .Minneapolis Journal, to see clfgimt uml costly orguna occupying poaitlons in log houars whoae exterior present anything but a cheerful or pros permia apearance. Vet these Indians ire fairly prosperous, and having tlur lug the puat fow months received con aiderublc money from the government, have expended it for such articles as meet their funcy. In addition to fine furniture, carriages and carpets, many of them have purchnaed organs. In dian families that have invested their surplus wealth in organs are the envy of all their neighbors until the envious ones can themselves purchase Instru ment, nnd then harmony Is restored in the Indian settlements. Sometimes the Indians, in their desire to live as their white neighbors do, assume obligations which they arc un ublo to meet. Such was the case with John Harry, a Sioux who lives north of this city nenr the big bend of the Mir sourl river. Barry nnd his family wanted nn orgnn badly, and after con siderable negotiating prevailed upon an agent to sell them an $S0 instrument upon payment of five dollars all the money they had the remaining $75 lo be paid at acertnln date. The amount became due a short time ago. The money not being forthcoming, the agent secured the services of Sheriff Jordan, of this city, nnd together they pro ceeded to the home of the Indian, took possession of the orgnn nnd carted It to town. Harry nnd his family have now lost caste with their brethren who arc fortunate enough to own organs, nnd are again looked upon simply ni ordinary Indians. A DEAD-AND-ALIVE CITY. Cardan I1m LltUe of ita Old-Time Wealth and l'nwer. From tho station we drove through a staring white suburb, past the well whitewashed walls of the bull-ring, to tho Fonde dc Oriente. It was early in the afternoon, writes Elizabeth !. Pen nell in Century, the sun fierce, the light blinding the hour when all sum mer we had been slecpingnnddreomlnir in tho Alhambrn'R halls and the Geu erollfa's gardens. Remembering their loveliness, and hoping for new beauty like it, we could not stay In the dull hotel bedroom, though with Its tiled floor it was fairly cool and clean, and we went out into the town, Silence hung over It like a pnll. Every winding street In the labyrinth beyond the paseo was empty, not a living creature in sight, only once in awhile a beggar, who rustled from some spot of shade to assail us; all the low, white houBcs, with their iron-barred windows, were tight shut; tho place was abandoned nnd desolate, Its silence unbroken by sound of toil or traffic. Was this really tho Cordova of Mum and Abderrnhman, the Cordova once called the Bagdad or DnmnscuB of the west, whoso street were alive, with tho clang of arms, the pomp of proces sions, the clatter of students going to and from sohool, ami whose name was a synonym for wealth and power, for ' t'lillure and Industry the world-fa- ! nioiis town with Its sentinels nml mer chants and women doctors? It. wiis an if u plague hud fallen suddenly upon the town, and left not one man, woinun or child to tell the IaIk, A OUST STORM. Aa Kstlinete of tn Weight ot tin Load It Carries. Blown dust Is u general and familiar nuisance lo housekeeper over the en tire west. A minimum estimate, veri fied by direct observation, for the quan tity of dust settling on floors during such storms, suyit u writer In Apfileton'a l'opulur Science Monthly, Is about n fourteenth of an ounce of dust on a surface of a square yard 'n half 11 duy. A maximum estimate made on the basis of the above newspaper accounts would be ut least five pounds to u square yard of surfuee for a storm lasting 24 hours. If we then suppose that a house Is 24 feet wide and VI feet long, has open crevices which average a sixteenth of an inch in width and have a running length In windows and dooraof 150 feet, the wind may lie aupposcd to enter half of these crevices with n velocity of five miles per hour for the time the atorm laau, or for 24 hours. The dust may be supposed to settle on not lesi than N.I square yard of surface. Includ ing floor space and horizontal surfaces of furniture. The minimum estimate, baaed on these figures, gives ua 225 tons of dust to the cubic mile of air. The masimum estimate would be 120,000 tons. CUT WITH WIRE ROPE, auw Stone Ii to Ua Taken Oat at an Eastern Unarry. Those who have indulged in deep sea Ashing know how the fish, line cuts dply into the hard wood of the gun wale as it is hauled ip while taut. Even an iron protection, after a time, shows the wear of the rope, which is comparatively soft. This, says the De troit Free Press, gives a clew to the invention of an Albany quarryman for cutting stone. Instead, however, of hemp, he proposes to use wire rope, ind with this he will carve the marble and stone right out of its native bed. The wire is wound in strands, and bos a very rough surface, poweriul machin ery gives a strong and steady strain, and the stone, yielding to the constant wear, parts, witii smooth edges. It would be easy enough to cut tbe blocks uftcr they are removed from the quar ry, but where the cleverness of the In ventor comes in is devising mechunjsm that can be applied to tho stone while in the quarry. This is effected by sink ing two parallel channels In the quarry to a depth of little greater than that of the lowest level of the stone to be cut. The channels may be from 2 to 100 feet, or more, apart. At the bottom of each is made a small bole to receive the foot ends of the shafts of the machine. This is the only preparation of the quarry that is necessary. Tbe ropes, which arc coiled on huge drums, ore then passed around the channels, and as the drums revolve the cutting proceeds. Suitable brakes axe provided for the regulation of the speed and pressure. The ordinary speed of the strand is 800 fctt a minute, so thnt a mile length of it passes in six minutes. While the strand is moving, crushed stone or chilled shot and wnter can be intro duced to increase the attrition. For better, however, than either of these is a composition obtained from the tailings of a magnetic iron separator, which costs about one-teutb as much as the chilled shot. It does not leave the lines caused by the shot, and it can be used over and over again. WELCOMING A RIVER. A Jojfol Oceaalon to the People of a Portion of Pern. lu tbe long coastal desert of Peru, which is some 2,000 miles in length, but only 120 miles broad at its widest part, the rivers, Maj. Ai F. Sears says, disappear in the dry season and begin to flow again in February or March when rain falls in the Cordilleras. One of the mostimportant-of these rivers is the Plum, the return of whose waters is welcomed with great rejoicings by the inhabitants of its banks. About the time when "the coming Of, the river" is expected, says the Youth's Compan ion, eager inquiries as to the progress of the water nre put to all persons who chance to come from the head of the valley, and when the water approaches the town of Piura processions go out to meet it, and escort its first trickling stream down the dry river-bed with music and fireworks. At the outskirts of the city thousands of people greet ita arrival. The valley of the Piura is said by Maj. Sears to produce excellent cot ton, although its possibilities In this respect nre not well developed for lack of systematic irrigation. Once in a period of from five to seven years rain fnls upon the coastal plain, whereupon, with maglo quickness, grass and flow ers cover It, and cattle browse in its pastures, but in a few weeks everything withers, and desolation reigns once more upon the barren sands. The holly in Germany, is called Christ-dorn, or Christ's thorn, the le gend being that it was of this plant that the crown of thorns was made; in France the honor is assigned to the hawthorn, which is there called the noble thorn; in Spain the legend as signs tho honor lo the bramble; an old Scotch legend makes the crown to con sist of thistle blades; while in the folk lore of England the climbing rose is said to have been the plant selected by the persecutors, A star, says Sir Robert 8. Bell, ! a mass of matter heated to such an ex tent that its effulgence is perceived far and wide. But this heated condition is exceptional, and though it doubtless lasts millions of years the tempera ture must finally sink to that of space, where it will remain through all eter nity Unless again kindled by acoldent into temporary luminosity. The nor mal and ordinary state of all the mat ter of space is cold and non-luminous, and therefore invisible to us. POWDER Absolutely Pure THE NEW KEPUBLIC. Fourth Effort in Centra! America to Form a Confederation. Terms Upon Whioh the Varioua state Seek to Unite Population and Keeonrcee of the Separate Section. The new confederation composed of tlic states of Honduras, Salvador and .Nicaragua, recently recognized by our state department under the title of the Greater Itcpiibllc of Central America, is the, fourth atitcmpt to unite in polit ical brotherhood the, mjinll republics of Central America. The nucleus of the present uiliiince is to be found in tbe treaty entered into in May, 1H95, oblit erating the commercial barriers be tween Nicuragua and Honduras. In that convention it was stipulated that the two republics should exert their In fluence upon une other Central Ameri can states to bring about a union of ull otf them. The movement, will not be complete, therefore, until Costa Idea and Guatemala are in tbe fold. In that event t'he new nation will be known as the Republic of Central America. These states were embraced in the empire of Mexico under Iturbide. When Mexico became a republic, in 1824, they dis solved tbe Mexican alliance and formed a federation whioh existed three years. Another federation was formed two years later, m 1829, which ibad an un certain life of nine years, expiring in 1838 by a revolt in Guatemala. Another federal republic was organized ha 1842. In 1847 a unioo was effected between Honduras, San Salvador and Nicaragua, and this union met Its fate in tbe wars with Guatemala. In June, of last year, the presidents of Salvador, Hon duras and Nicaragua agreed upon, term governing tine external, political and commercial relations of theRe states. Theee relations are to be regulated by n diet composed of one reiresentative from each republic, and foreign minis ters arc to be appointed by the diet. The temporary compact or constitu tion provide that it shall be the ob ject of the diet to preserve harmony among uhc nations composing the fed eration and ratify all treaties to that emd; and the congress shall pass upon nil questions arising between foreign nations and the confederated republic. The new nation has no capital city, but the diet will meet, annually in each of the capitals of tlie republic, tho order of the sessions to be determined by lot. The autonomy of the respective repub lics in the compact will be preserved, and local laws will remain operative un less in contravention of the constitu tion. An important feature of the con stitution is the proviso that all treaties of friendship, ratified by the diet, shall contain a clause providing that all con troversies shall be settled by arbitra tion. Happily, the recognition of the new confederation by the United Spates will create no friction with another na tion, and the delicate controversies like ly to arise betwean this country and Spain, by the recognition of a Cuban re public, will be avoided in the present instfatnee. It was only neoessury that our government should be convinced of the permanency of tlhe greater re public of Central" America to grant the desired recognition. There are some outstanding controversies between Costa Rica and Nicaragua as to bounda ries, and Guatemala clnims some con cessions tjo her greater size before she will join the union, but It is to be hoped that these two states may soon find it to their interest to unite with the other states. , ' Salvador has an estimated popula tion of 800,000 of aboriginal and mixed races, among whom are 209,000 whiteor persons of European descent. The rev enue is about $9,000,000 annually. Hon duras lhas a population of 490,000, de scended maiuly from Indians, with a small contingent of Spanish origin. Its annual revenue is about $1,500,000. The population of Nicaragua is estimated at 380,000, and, including uncivilized In dians, 420,000. The great mass of popu lation is composed of aboriginal In dians, negroas and mixed races, with a small infusion of Kurocans. The an nual revenue is nearly $2,000,000. The admission of Guatemala would greatly strengthen the confederation. Its pop ulation is 1,800,000, and its revenue in 1894 : was $11,831,815. Philadelphia Ledge. UtU glavea la ag-laa., "Does slavery survive in England?" asks the London Christian World, and this is the answer: "After reading Saturday's 'special', number of the 'Schoolmaster' on the subject of 'Half timers,' we find it difficult to answer that question in the negative. An in spector writes: '1 examined a child who rose at 5:S0, worked at a mill, and then walked a couple of miles to exami nation, Another girl of eleven rose soon after 5 a. m. and walked through the frost and snow nearly two miles to the mill. Work commenced at A and continued till 8:80, when there was an interval for breakfast the child not leaving the mill. At 0 work again till 12:30' six hours in all 'and then din ner at the mill. At 1:30 the child trudged oft to school.' How many British children are liable to this sort of experience? Not less than 170,0001 8hame on us!" Such facts are a shame Indeed,' to any civilized, not to say Christian community. Foul-Smelling Catarrh. Catarrh Is one of tho moat obstinate diseases, and hence the most diflleult to get rid of. There ia but one way to cure It. The disease is In the blood, and nil the spruya, washes nnd inhaling mixtures' in the world can have no permanent' effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe cific cures Catarrh permanently, forit is the only romedy which can reach the disease and force it from the blood. Mr. B. P. McAllister, of Harrodsburg,1 Ky.. had Catnrrh for vears. He writes: "I eoiilrl a, nn lmnrriri.rn.iit whatever though 1 waa oonitanlly treated with spravs Bun wiwnri, una ainer ent Inhaling remedlea In fact. 1 could (eel thai eah winter 1 waa worse! than the yftar previous. "Finally It wa1. brought to ray notloe , that Catarrh waa a blood ' dlneaae, and after think ing over the matter. 1 saw It waaunreaaanable ' lo expect to on oured by remedlea whioh only reached the mrface. I then decided to tr - S. S. 8- and after a few bottles were uaed. 1 no- ; tlced a perceptible Improvement.

S, 8., a rem- ' edy that can reach the dlsewe and cure It." To continue the wrong treatment for Catarrh is to continue to suffer. Swift's , Specific is a real blood remedy, and cures obstinate, deep-seated diseases, which other remedies have no effect' whatever upon. It promptly reaches Catarrh, ana never fails to cure even the most aggravated cases. - S.S.SJ7hn Blood is Purely Vegetable, and is the only blood romedy guaranteed to contain no -dangerous minerals.

I have it from pretty good authority, Bays a recent traveler lu Mexico, that it is the purpose of the Mexican govern ment, within four or five years, to establish a complete system of public schools reaching into every corner ot the republic. The teachers therefor cannot be obtained here, nor for years to come. ThiB will make a demand for probably ten or fifteen thousand teach ers. In view of this it will be seen how Important it ia for those who have au .idea of teaching to study the Spanish language, so as to be able to avail ' themselves of the opportunities Which will thus be opened. Kansas City has already moved In this direction by making Spanish a part of her common ' school course. The students ot Mexico , are now ahead of ua on this question. -They reoognlse that English is the ' rival language of the continent, and . they go to colleges in the United States for the sole purpose of adding English to their literary stock in trade. Mexico ' is developing scholars who can hold their own with any on the continent. They are delving into every research, : and are well-read and Hberal-mlndcd. Tho literature of Mexico is now quite extensive, covering the field of history, biography, political economy,, science and poetry. TON C Jackson County Hank
