Pittsburg will be at tbe millennium.
Then Tommy fell to communing with him
self. "If," reaeoned be, "tbe goat waa so dirty
outside, he must be very far from clean In

A 4-year-old mint lately created a good deal
of consternation, not unmixed with amuse

while there was In tbo bubit of playing with

day, at ber chubby Angora glided caressingly
over tbe old gentleman's scant locks, be mur
mured drowsily, in reply to tome Infantile
remark : "Yes, I'm your pour old bald beaded
grandfather."
One evening not long afterwards, a young
old bachelor was making a call on the family,
towards a certain member of which, only It
nd decidedly pretty, be Inclined with very
tender feelings. Into the pleasant circle
where tbe bachelor tat flashing bright noth
ings of society talk, entered the 4-year-old.
Unseen by the gentleman tba sauntered,
round tbe room Inspecting him, and gazed
with esjieclal interest on bis polished scalp
which gleamed In tbe light of the chandelier.
Suddenly, with a bunt of Ingenuous socia

often been the theme for newspaper com
ment, but I think I know of one who to en
titled to particular distinction for hit bright
ness. The other day be importuned bit
mamma for a night shirt "just Ilka papa's,"
with a pocket In it. Hit mother mode him
one, and tbe first night be wort It ba went to
bed lu high glee. In the morning, wbea hit
mother took the robe off, she found iu the
one pocket a couple of toed cake, three
matches, a toothpick, a small silver watch,
several pieces of cough candy and tbe boy's
pocket handkerchief. When the little fellow
was questioned as to the reason for the varied
assortment be replied: "Well, I thought If I
got hungry In tbo night time I would need
tba toed cakes, and of course I'd want the
toothpick afterward. If I wanted to tea
what time It was by my watch I would have
to have a match, and I was afraid of cough
ing, to I put tbe candy there." Hit excuses
were equal to his preparations at any rata.

The History of One.
'Five or Bix years ago that woman
was a great belle, "said my neighbor, as
tlie door closed on tho shocking example
of resurfacing.
"She came here for the first time the
morning after tho great balL She
looked tired, and I didn't wonder. My
brother, who was out late the night be
fore, told me that he heard a gentleman
call her by namo as ho handed her into a
carriage after a littlo supper nt the close
of an evening at tho theatre. It was
midnight and alio was juBt going home
to dress for the ball. You can guess the
pace sho was keeping. Slio bought noth
in j but a little violet powder to whiten
the great dark circles under her eyes.
Nest season she was a regular customer
for rose leaf wafers of one kind and an
other to rub a little bloom on her cheeks.
After that it was paint, and now look nt
her. Sometimes her face breaks out in
blotches and she has terrible work to
cure them." Eliza Putnam Heaton.
Hnlned by the Mask Hats.
Every old East Indian officer knows
that when a musk rat runs over the bot
tles in your cellar you might as well
throw the contents away. They will
nave the smell and the taste of-tlio musk,
and nothing that you can do will cure it.
I know it is a story that you won't be
lieve, because you haven't seen it your
self, but you can cork a bottle of alo,
say, as securely as yoa like, seal it and
put it away, and if tho rats get a chance
to play alwut it you will find it wholly
undriiikablo. I don't know how the
smell gets into the liquor, but thoro it is.
I Lave seen bottles washed and scrubbed
and rubbed with sand, then opened and
found to be ruined. There is no animal
that the old Bchool Indian will kill with
such a thorough consciousness of doing a
good work as the rat. Chicago News.

canals were dug in terrace outline, filled
with brush and then burned out in order
to solidify the bottom and sides. "Mr,
Cusliing," says The American Natuni
ist, "is of tho opinion that tlieyaied
rafts made of reeds for navigating fa
canals, and this seems more probable
from tho heavy muteriuls that hare been
brought from a distanco. It seemi cer
tain that they floated the pine timber
used in their building operations down
the Salt and Gila rivers from the dUtani
mountains. "
These people burned their dead u 1
general rule, collecting the ushes into u
urn, which was commonly broken, in
sign of death; but the expeditiop found
so many skeletons buried within the
larger buildings mentioned, just beneath
the floor, that it appears to have been
the custom to bury chiefs and priests.
A food vessel and highly decorated water
jar were buried with tho corpse, and
sometimes arrow and sjiear heads. In
one grave a large stone knife and tur
quois ornaments were found. Tools and
weapons are generally of stone, and then
are a few copjier ornaments, shell earr
ings, inlaid with turquois, and other
decorations common to seuii-savajp
tribes. The pottery is of many colon
and carries a fine glaze. They bad
smelting furnaces in the mountains, and
appear to have stood upon much the
same plane of cultivation as those Zona
to whom Mr. Curbing is guide, philoso
pher and friend.
The opening up of these old canals a
the first step to cause the deserta now
covered with mesquite to support a fair
population. With modern appliances it
is not impossible that tlie Colorado, rush
ing along the bottom of an enormout
cleft in the earth, down which Maj.
Powell made his venturesome trip jean
ago, should spread its fertilizing waton
over portions of the Yuma and Moliate
deserts instead of losing them in the salt
waves of the Gulf. The climate ia ad
verse to irrigation in some respects, be
cause the more you separate the stream
and rills the more you expose the water
body to surface eraporntion. bi land
like Arizona and New Mexico the Persian
system of underground streams, broken
at intervals by wells, ought to b
tried. A system of covered canals
would be the best in a climate like
that of New Mexico, for the evapora
tion upward would be at a minimum.
Whether this country will ever be re
claimed to do tho work it can under a
thorough system of irrigation is a qu
tion. Perhaps it were best left to indi
vidual or municipal, to corporate or
state enterprise. National scliemei
the kind areoo prolific of jobbery and
corruption. It is u matter, however,
that will repay the study of those bavinj
large amounts to invest for slow but sure
returns, dependent for success on tin
financial prudence and sound engineer
