NEBRASKA'S ARID LANDS. Irrigation Solving a Problem for Farmers and Stockmen. LINCOLN, Neb., June 11.—Two transformations have taken place in western Nebraska during the past decade. In the latter part of the eighties the tide of immigration to the West was as its flood. From the cities it overflowed to the country, and hillside and plain were in a few short years dotted with the easily recognizable marks of the husbandman. Then came the years of drought, the months of dread, the pitiless beatings down of the sun, the hot breath of the summer wind that parched all in its sweep. With crops an entire failure, with no means of sustenance during the coming winter in sight, many fled the land. The lucky few who could do so rode back home in varnished cars; the unlucky many packed their all in prairie schooners and headed for the homes of their wives' relations. Prior to ten or a dozen years ago the wide region of country west of the second principle meridian was the paradise of the stockmen, or rather of the big stock companies, for the individual holders were few, and their holdings small in number. As the settlers, attracted by the broad rolling land in the valleys of the Platte and its tributaries, rushed in they backed further and further back toward the mountains, the great herds of the stock companies. Not all of the available land was taken, but the amount occupied was so great that it was not possible to allow the herds to run at large the summer through unless in charge of cowboys, an expense too great to be borne profitably. They took refuge in the hills of Wyoming and in the hillocky prairie of Cherry and Brown counties, broken into small herds and divided among many owners. The hegira of the drouth sufferers included almost every man who had attempted exclusive farming in that section. The few who stayed were the wise ones who had gathered about them a little herd of cattle. Then came the era of irrigation. It was a light in the wilderness to the residents of Western Nebraska. To Eastern investors familiar with conditions in the agricultural West it was held up as the one hope by which so great a territory could be reclaimed. For one year, two years, it was almost a craze. Ambitious speculators poured money into wide ditches, believing every landowner would eagerly buy the water at his door. The result was disappointing to investors, but slowly and surely it is being proven the total amount in that region gives only a slight idea of the actual increased wealth thereof, unless the foregoing summary of conditions is made. The irrigated land increases because of the nearness to winter feed, the value of the grazing lands, and the latter, for the reason that they afford a home market for irrigated land products, in turn add to the value of the former. The history of irrigation in Nebraska extends over scarcely half a decade. Prior to that time individuals had appropriated water rights, but it was not until the fearful lesson of the drought had taught men the need of artificial aid in the distribution of moisture that it came prominently into the public eye. In 1895 the first board of irrigation was organized. It was looked upon largely as an experiment, and but small amounts were appropriated. The impetus it gave to agriculture and to stock raising has been so great, however, that at the recent session of the State Legislature a special bureau, with an adequate force of engineers and secretaries, was created and ample sums appropriated for its maintenance. The State asserts prior right over all streams in Nebraska, and no appropriation of water can be secured unless an application is first made to and granted by the bureau. This is because of the limited supply and the necessity of regulation. The maximum allotment for irrigation is one-seventieth of a cubic foot for each acre reclaimed. On many of the small streams the areas susceptible of irrigation are limited to a few acres, but in the majority of instances the water will be ample with a proper time distribution. Irrigation companies furnish the great bulk of the water to landowners. The usual charge is $2 an acre for each acre cultivated by its aid. This price has seemed so high to struggling settlers that many of them hesitate, and it is only when a man sees a neighbor's crop saved or the yield doubled by irrigation that he realizes the absolute necessity for it. In order to overcome the slow growth of opinion on the question the companies are now introducing a new system of charges, one of $6 or $8 an acre for perpetual water rights with a small annual fee for maintenance. This returns to them their original capital and allows a reasonable profit thereafter. The one troublesome question of the day is the conservation of the water. The North Platte is the principal source of supply. It rises in northern Colorado, traverses a large region of mountainous country of Wyoming, and sends an immense amount of water down into Nebraska. The South Platte supply is meagre, because it is Colorado's chief source of water for irrigation ditches. All through western Nebraska A Revolution in Grafting Secretary Lelong of the State Department of Horticulture has announced that important discovery which, if it comes to expectations, will be worth an amount of money to California cultivists. For many months passory Lelong has been endeavoring grow cuttings from different species by grafting them on a mother root. It is said that success crowned his efforts, and he now gives the result of his work to this cultural world. His discovery makes him a nutshell, that one can take limb of any kind of a tree, put a mother root to it, and in a very time the limb will take root and come a tree. A dispatch from Secretary Lelong says: "Limbs two feet long were grown from Washington navel orange and united with foster mothers and placed in a sandy soil, and in months they had attained a gross equal to two or three years by this diary methods. The same results obtained with the olive, apple, pear, together with other varieties of trees. As a result of this discovery Secretary Lelong says that our cultivars will not have to worry years for orange trees to bear, and can be advanced to the bearing stage in one year from the first operation. With olives the bearing time is reduced from four years to one year and the same is true of apples, pears and pears. This will make an enormous difference financially to growers." "The same line of experiments been carried along with reference ornamental trees, particularly with conifers. He has now on hand men of Norfolk Island pine at Auracara Bidwell pines were subjected to this process months ago, and they are now two high, or equivalent to two years' nary growth, and when it is that trees of that size are worthy apiece the value of the discovered apparent to all the growers. In words, it is now possible to get same value for a tree two months after that it took five years former obtain. The experiments leading to discovery were conducted at Secor Lelong's propagating houses, and has absolutely demonstrated their viability before making them popular." The hegira of the drouth sufferers included almost every man who had attempted exclusive farming in that section. The few who stayed were the wise ones who had gathered about them a little hord of cattle. Then came the era of irrigation. It was a light in the wilderness to the residents of Western Nebraska. To Eastern investors familiar with conditions in the agricultural West it was held up as the one hope by which so great a territory could be reclaimed. For one year, two years, it was almost a craze. Ambitious speculators poured money into wide ditches, believing every landowner would eagerly buy the water at his door. The result was disappointing to investors, but slowly and surely it is being proven that a fair return, not the quick and large profit they expected, is in sight. With the exodus of the farmers came the opportunity of the stockmen again. Their herds have once more entered the State, and from this industry many millions are being added to the State's wealth. But the conditions are not as old. Convinced that agriculture on a wide area, where climatic conditions are not favorable to certain rainfall, can never pay, the farmers of that region have taken to the land adjointing the rivers, where irrigation is possible. The remainder of the land is practically ceded to the stockmen, and one industry has become a corollary, an adjunct, to the other. The farmer raises what his home market most demands; he does not rely for his profit upon the grain he may ship. Instead, he raises just those products which will find a ready sale to the stockmen for winter feed. All the summer the herds range upon the prairie, but in the winter the owner must furnish adequate feed to supplement their meager pickings of herbage. The farmer cannot afford to haul his alfalfa or his corn to the grazing lands, but the stockowner can walk his cattle to where the farmer's great supplies of winter feed are stored. And this is what is being done to great mutual profit all over Western Nebraska to-day. It is how agriculture is being made to pay, and it is what is piling up money in Nebraska banks to the credit of the farmers. The reclamation of the arid lands is steadily progressing, and is limited only by the amount of water available for purposes of irrigation. Way up in the northwestern corner of the State, in the famous Bad Lands, the value of irrigation is being wonderfully demonstrated. There the country is rough, billocky, almost impossible to traverse. It is cut into ravines and little spurs of mountain. To go from one point to another one cannot follow a straight line. He must follow the creeks or the dry beds of creeks. It never has been looked upon as either a farming country or a stock country, but American grit and determination have made habitation there not only possible but profitable. By the side of a good-sized creek the settler lays out his farm, and he constructs a small irrigation ditch with laterals reaching every tillable acre. On this land he finds it easy to raise at least enough to feed himself and family. He has a little bunch of stock that he turns out on nearby hills, where in summer they graze. In winter their owner feeds them with the surplus product of his farm, and with the hay and corn it has yielded. In other words, his tillable land furnishes him the means of subsistence; the hills furnish the stock which represent his profit. Another example of how the two industries unite is shown in the valley of the Niobrara, in which wild hay is the principal crop and the stockmen the consumers. This makes it possible for the farmer to buy stock, and thus year by year the herds multiply. The one troublesome question of the day is the conservation of the water. The North Platte is the principal source of supply. It rises in northern Colorado, traverses a large region of mountainous country of Wyoming, and sends an immense amount of water down into Nebraska. The South Platte supply is meagre, because it is Colorado's chief source of water for irrigation ditches. All through western Nebraska the North Platte has a uniform fall of six to nine feet to the mile. When a company or a district desires to run a ditch from the river it digs it at an acute angle, with the point, of course, following the direction of flow and with a fall less than that of the stream. All the land between being lower than the ditch is susceptible of being irrigated, and the number of acres is only limited by the length of the ditch, which must naturally bend away from the stream. In the early spring and summer the volume of water is much greater than is needed for irrigation, and later it is much less. To conserve this reservoir system will have to be resorted to finally. At present it is too expensive. The topographical conditions are against it, because there are no mountains, and only the gentle divides are available. At present the only force depended upon is gravity. The number of irrigated acres approximates between three and four millions. It must not be supposed, however, that all is peaceful between stockmen and irrigation farmers. In the region referred to there are about 10,000,000 acres of government land, or about one-fifth of the State, and the theory of the present range system is that all have equal rights to use of these lands for grazing purposes, but the practice is that each gets and holds what he can, and the small owner has no rights that one stronger than himself under obligations to respect. The only remedy suggested is government leasing of these lands. Many progressive men who have become discouraged over the failure of dry farming have been experimenting with various methods of surface cultivation, but with only fair success. To them irrigation holds out the richest promises, and it is the increasing confidence that in the semi-arid regions of the state irrigation must be resorted to to insure crops that paints its brightest future. It is, in fact, the cheapest insurance against the effect of prolonged drought the farmer can have. An appeal is being prepared for Federal protection to the sources of supply, the forest of States to the northwest. Their timber value is great, but their chief utility lies in holding back moisture from the rains and snows. On these timbered slopes the snows protected from sun discharge their waters gradually into the streams, thus maintaining the flow till the later summer. The Government will also be asked to provide for the rental of unclaimed land. It is contended that this rental, if wisely expended in irrigation, investigation and construction of needed irrigation works for the storage and distribution of water, will do much to stop the yearly waste. The wasted resources of the arid and semi-arid region would it be said, without the expenditure of a dollar in appropriation from national treasury, redeem millions of acres to profitable agricultural use and furnish homes and independent employment to thousands now The slow growth of opinion on the questionthe companies are now introducing a new system of charges, one of $6 or $8 an acre for perpetual water rights with a small annual fee for maintenance.

This can be done only by the Government; the State and the people are not able to do it, but there is little doubt that an effort in that direction would start a new era of development and wipe out the last vestige of the great American desert of the geographies of two decades ago.—N.Y.Sun. Last fall I sprained my left hip while handling some heavy boxes. The doctor I called on first said it was a slight strain and would soon be well, but it grew worse and the doctor then said I had rheumatism. It continued to grow worse and I could hardly get around to work. I went to a drug store and the druggist recommended me to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm. I tried it and one-half of a 50-cent bottle cured me entirely. I now recommend it to all my friends.—F.A.BABCOCK, Erie, Pa. It is for sale by P.A.Derge. The fascination of Gold Hunting. Once you have seen a "color" in the bottom of a pan with the black sand following it around like a faithful servant, you can never again be deceived by the false glitter of any other particles.

For the moment the yellow pile makes you feel like seeking a claim of your own and harvesting its treasure for yourself. But when you look at the miry path along the base of the mountain by the creek side and think of following it with a pack on your back until it is no more and a wilderness begins; think of passing on over the mountains until you come to what you consider a likely place and thawing through 80 feet of earth at the rate of a foot a day in the haphazard possibility of finding "pay dirt," you conclude that the poetry of the thing can be better appreciated by sitting on some one else's dump.—Frederick Palmer in Scribner's. Revolution in Grafting. Secretary Lelong of the State Board of Horticulture has announced an important discovery which, if it comes up expectations, will be worth a large amount of money to California horticulturists. For many months past Secretary Lelong has been endeavoring to cuttings from different species of bees by grafting them on a foster mother root. It is said that success has been his efforts, and he now first is the result of his work to the horizonal world. His discovery means, nutshell, that one can take the fruit of any kind of a tree, put a foster mother root to it, and in a very short time the limb will take root and become a tree. A dispatch from Sacra-to says: Limbs two feet long were taken Washington navel orange trees united with foster mother roots placed in a sandy soil, and in two shoots they had attained a growth to two or three years by the orchard methods. The same results were observed with the olive, apple, peach pear, together with other varieties trees. As a result of this discovery, Secretary Lelong says that our trialists will not have to wait... live for orange trees to bear, as they have advanced to the bearing stage one year from the first operation. Olives the bearing time can be seen from four years to one year, the same is true of apples, peaches and pears. This will make an enormous difference financially to fruit growers. The same line of experiments have carried along with reference toimental trees, particularly with the pines. He has now on hand specimens of the Norfolk Island pine and Auracara Bidwell pines which subjected to this process two years ago, and they are now two feet tall, or equivalent to two years' ordi-growth, and when it is noted trees of that size are worth $2.50 per tree the value of the discovery is present to all the growers. In other words, it is now possible to get the value for a tree two months old it took five years formerly to run. The experiments leading to the discovery were conducted at Secretary Lelong's propagating houses, and he absolutely demonstrated their practicability before making them public. Over fifteen thousand apple trees, consisting of a Northern Spy graft on common root of resistant stock to the ferrous woolly aphis, have just been ingested, and are being shipped toinent fruit growers for general use under the new system." Bloodless Girls Doctors have given the Greek name Anæmia, meaning "bloodlessness" to a disease which is much more prevalent among young women than is generally believed. In its early stages the disease is not marked by any decided symptoms and often makes considerable advance before its presence is noticed. An unusual feeling of fatigue after slight exercise, breathless and pallor are the first noticeable signs. In anæmia the blood becomes thin, the heart flabby, the skin pale and waxy. If the disease become chronic (persistent anæmia) it often results fatally. The one successful method of treating this disease is to build up the blood. The best blood builder in the world is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People This remedy has cured more cases of anæmia than all others combined. Miss Cordelia Moore, of Malone, N.Y., until recently, has been a lifelong invalid from palpitation of the heart and weakness of the blood. In speaking of this experience she said: "I was in a terrible condition. I could not eat. My face was ghastly white, and my hands were almost transparent. I was so weak it was utterly impossible for me to go up stairs." I met a friend who spoke of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and advised me to try them. Before the first box was used I began to regain my appetite and felt better generally. I bought six more boxes and took them. I grew strong rapidly and gained in flesh. I became better in every way. I never felt better in my life than now,and consider myself foured. I cannot say too much regarding Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People." No discovery of modern times has proved such a blessing to mankind as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Acting directly on the blood and nerves, invigorating the body, regulating the functions, they restore the strength and health in the exhausted patient when every effort of the physician proves unavailing.

"One hassock?" asked the waiter, with what John thought more than ordinary interest, as he nodded in the affirmative. Still the waiter did not go, but brushed the tablecloth with a towel and rearranged the articles on it several times, while his face got very red.

A down town woman, who is known among her friends as a decidedly stylistic person, but who is quite indifferent to her toilet when at home, had an experience a short time ago which gave her quite a shock at the time. She had given a dinner party one day at which a very distinguished Englishman was entertained. The foreigner was quite captivated by the charming hospitality of his hostess, and when on his way to the station to leave the city next day he stopped at the house to pay his respects. All the servants were out, "Ignorance of the law does not guilt." It is these fundamental operations of natural law that possible for a woman who enters rriage relation with the full sanctity law of the land and love of her heart condemned to an awful life of death and suffering. Don't let her smile deceive you; trained herself to bear what she loses as part of the burden of her state. The underlying reason of this dition of affairs is ignorance. The girl grows to womanhood ignorant physical needs and dangers. When might save her years of suffering, bids her keep silent. She loves her rides and enters upon the marries with all its obligations to the handicapped by conditions that a burden to herself and a men offspring. What can be done to correct irre resulting from neglect, to restore placed organs to a natural and health dition, to give back vitality to a drained by disease, to re-attune HARP OF THE NERVES to divine melody after the year cord? It was the endeavor to answer questions that gave to the world Dr. Favorite Prescription, the most remedy ever compounded for the alimentics peculiar to the delicate organization.

The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of A Waiter's Dilemma. It was in one of the large down town restaurants that the short little woman and her tall husband went for dinner one night. "Will you have oysters?" asked the man, glancing over the bill of fare. "Yes," said the short little woman，as she tried in vain to touch her toes to the floor."And John，I want a hassock." John nodded,and as he handed his order to the waiter,here said,"Yes,and bring a hassock forthe lady." "One hassock?" asked the waiter，with what John thought more than ordinary interest，as he nodded in the affirmative.Sillthe waiter did not go,but brushed the tablecloth with a towel and rearranged the articles on it several times，while his face got very red.The then he came around to John's side,and speaking sotto voce,said:"Say,mister,i haven't been here long,and I'm not on to all these things.Willthe lady have the hassock broiled or fried?"—Chicago Chronicle.

If you never wholly give yourself up to the chair you sit in, but always keep your leg and body muscles half contracted for a rise; if you breathe 18 or 19 instead of 16 times a minute and never quite breathe out at that, what mental mood can you be in but one of inner panting and expectancy and how can the future and its worries possibly sake your mind? On the other hand, how can they gain admission to your mind if your brow be unruffled, your respiration calm and complete and your muscles all relaxed?—"The Gospel of Relaxation," by Professor William James, in Scribner's.

A down town woman, who is known among her friends as a decidedly stylish person, but who is quite indifferent to her toilet when at home, had an experience a short time ago which gave her quite a shock at the time. She had given a dinner party one day at which a very distinguished Englishman was entertained. The foreigner was quite captivated by the charming hospitality of his hostess, and when on his way to the station to leave the city next day he stopped at the house to pay his respects. All the servants were out, and the mistress of the house was by no means dressed for company. She was expecting the arrival of a new gown at the time, and thinking that the ring was that of a messenger boy bringing it she went herself, in very slipshod attire, to the door. To her horror, when she opened the door, she saw the face of the distinguished Englishman. To her joy, however, he asked if her mistress was in. This one was all that was needed.- Quick as a flash she replied, "No, sir; she's out riding." Without recognition the visitor left his card and went away with a decided opinion of the untidy appearance of Philadelphia servants.- Philadelphia Record. Seventh Regiment Band at Redondo.

The club is a voluminous affair, and alleged bloodstains are known upon it. The evidence of the fitness is damaging—important if true, as it were. Mr. Hunter is called. "What's your name, and where do you reside, Mr. Hunter—in Anaheim, Orange county, California?" began the prosecution. Objected to, on the ground that it is incompetent, irrelevant and immaterial. Objection overruled. Mr. Hunter says he doesn't remember what his name is, or where he lives. He is excused. Judge Hays rises in the buggy in which he is seated, and delivers a lumi-ous decision in the case. He finds that Mr. Cargill had gone to Mr. Fay's residence, and the latter seizing the club attempted to strike him with it, and had inadvertently struck his wife, inflicting the injuries which the lady sustained some days ago by accidentally calling down the cellar steps. The defendant was acquitted amid outrages of laughter. The day wore on, and late in the afternoon the return trip was begun. Mr. Hunter served all with more coffee, the dishes were gathered together, the crowd got aboard, and bidding theanyon good-bye the picnic was at an end. The Awful Life of a Lawful Wife.

It is these fundamental facts in the operations of natural law that make it possible for a woman who enters the marriage relation with the full sanction of the law of the land and love of her heart, to be condemned to an awful life of servitude and suffering. Don't let her smile deceive you. She hasained herself to bear what she looks upon part of the burden of her state. The underlying reason of this sad condition of affairs is ignorance. The young girl grows to womanhood ignorant of her physical needs and dangers. When a word might save her years of suffering, modestyids her keep silent. She loves and marries and enters upon the marriage state with all its obligations to the unborn, handicapped by conditions that make life burden to herself and a menace to her spirit. What can be done to correct irregularities resulting from neglect, to restore the dislaced organs to a natural and healthy condition, to give back vitality to a systemrained by disease, to re-attune the great HARP OF THE NERVES Divine melody after the years of disord? It was the endeavor to answer these questions that gave to the world Dr. Pierce's favorite Prescription, the most effective remedy ever compounded for the ills andiments peculiar to the delicate feminine organization. By the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription the drains that debilitate the system are promptly stopped. Inflammation and ulceration are quickly cured. Disorders of the womb and the organs sympathetic with it are overcome, and woman put into a condition where the functions nature are her pleasure as well as her privilege. In this condition children are born without anxiety as almost without pain of parturition practically does away with the pangs of childbirth. Vitality is imitated which makes the nursing of the child a delight instead of a drain, and the robust child sharing the strength of the other grows day by day in health and beauty. Contrast this plain statement of met with the condition of so many women who anticipate motherhood, worn-out, suffering, fearful, anxious, bringing children into the world with reluctant suffering andearing them painfully through a sickly childhood. Can any words speak for Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription like these facts that are part of the sun of public knowledge and testified to on both sides of the Atlantic by hundreds of thousands of women?

Religious and Irreligious Fishes. Fishes are supposed to have no religion. Probably they are greatly maligned in that as well as in other respects. St. Anthony, as you know, used to preach to them and make their eyes glitter and their hearts beat by his eloquence. A Jewish story is told—I cannot, unfortunately, lay my hands on the passage just now—of a fish which leaves the sea or Saturday and does not return until Sunday, so as to be able to keep the Sabbath. Other fishes, unlike their puritanical brother, do not observe the sacred day. The Koran gives a story of some very naughty fishes in David's time. Knowing that the Israelites were forbidden to catch fish on the Sabbath, the wicked creatures came out of the Red Sea in unusual numbers and kept in sight of the people all through the order in order to tempt them. On the approach of night they returned to the sea again. In a fatal moment some of the Israelites yielded to the piscine blandishments, caught several of them and had them for dinner. Whereupon David cursed the Sabbath breakers, and God, to show his displeasure, changed them into apes and pigs. For three days they remained in this unpleasant condition, when a violent storm arose and swept them into the sea. The fish which brought the tribute money to our Lord is supposed to have been a haddock, which had strayed into the lake of Gennesaret. There are several legends which tell of miraculous finds in fishes—Paris Messenger. Southern Pacific Company. San Francisco and Los Angeles Limited—"THE OWL."

"Sexton and Undertaker" is the sign usually found affixed to or near the New York churches, but it does not mean that the sexton actually conducts an undertaker's establishment. He merely contracts for the funerals of the members of the congregation and submits the work to what are known as wholesale undertakers, who attend to his class of work exclusively. A 20 per cent commission is the sexen's share of the proceeds, and, taking into consideration the large membership of some of the New York churches and the elaborate funerals that take place almost daily, it can readily be seen that to be a sexton is an honorableilling—for it is a business that brings the coin. The profits of a sexton in one of the large down town churches are estimated at $10,000 annually from his general business alone. Weddings are not so profitable, but they do fairly well and are cheerful. He collects the pew items and takes his habitual commission; he is paid for opening the church and for closing it and a few other things that keep him from starvation. At there is one thing he must look after, and that is his collections. It is a peculiar fact, but people will hand off a funeral bill as long and as obviously as any other.—Exchange.
