THE GRANT COUHTf HEWS,
The

days of deserts arc about
Word now conies from the
front biuinru iluert that soon
Sahara ile'crt that
artesian wells will be driven nil
over it, and with the advent of
water desert dreariness and sterility
ceases.
Judge Stuwnrt, in I.altiinorc re
cently decided that the giving
away of crockery and glassware
with purchases of tea anil coffee
was contrary to law, and that deal
ers who use this method of adver
tising their biisiium or of increas
ing tlio Kilos arc subject to a line
of not less than SoU for each of
fence. iNino American missionaries at
Freetown. Sierra Leone, violated
all sanitary precautions ucc-lcd in
that deadly climate, and then
when taken down with the fever
refused to call a physician or take
any medicine whatever, all being
devotees of the "faith cure." As
a consequence three of these miss
ionaries died.
A Ne.v York inventor has com.
plctcd an aircompressing machine
whereby cars compress the air
which moves them, and allowing
for friction this can continue long
enough to be the next thing to
perpetual motion. The cars in the
lirst placo have to lie started by
horses, but after going about thirty
feet the compressor gathers air
enough to keep it going. We
trust the inventor will stop short
of attaching such an arrangement
to men ami women, or, for example,
to some such organ as the tongue.
We have sometimes fancied that
such an arrangement was always
in use.
No gift to man is better than a
good friend ami none is so gener
ally in reach of everybody. It in
in men's power to make them our
friends, and only those thus made
are worth having. To a superficial
observer frioiuhs often come as
they are attracted by wealth, fame
or ueauty. These are all evanes
cent, and no is the friendship which
is attracted by them. '1 he true
friendship that will last is founded
on respect and affection, based on
the character of the recipient of it.
The character which draws friends
is the best iwusible guarantee of
micccss in life; by which is of
course not meant the ponession of
tho.e qualities that attract theself
teeking, and which nearly always
ret tilt s in failure.
Any measure that will create an
additional ollice is almost certain
to become a law. Not long since
a bill passed creating a commisi
ion to appraise merchandise in
connection with the customs de
partment. This provided a iiuui
uer of fat olllecrs which willbe tilled
and will cost the people more than
SIOO.OOO annually. The tariff bill
winch has just passed 'the senate
contains the usual rider which cre
ates another commission of live
members. This commission will
no doubt cost a full quarter of a
million annually, as there is no
limit to its power or privileges.
It was created probably for the
purpoaoof keeping alive an inter
et in the tariff' question and to
furnish material for future con
gressional buncombe speeches ukmi
that nither stale subject.
A decision of some interest,
construing the law prohibiting
the mailing of envelope having
on the outside words calculated to
rolled injuriously on the character
of anyone, was rendered by .1 inlge
"Wheeler of tho I'liited" .States
District Court for the District of
Vormont, recently. The court
hold that the act was violated by
sending through the mails letters
contained in envelopes bearing
the words "ICvcelsior Collection
Agency'' printed in large letters
across the upper half of the envel
ope. The printed words weie
sepanite from the direction to re
turn if not called for, in tho lower
left-hand corner, and the court
held that they were obviously
placed fo as to attract attention
and rolled delinquency in making
payment upon the persons to whom
tho envelopes were sent.
