THIEVES OF BOMBAY. THEIR READY ABILITY TO RENDER THEMSELVES INVISIBLE. The Clever Device That Is Practiced by The Willy, Olly Orientals In Throwing Pursuers Off Their Track. Robbing a Zenana. A very interesting and valuable report was issued several years ago by the Inspector of prisons of the Indian empire, in which almost incredible accounts are given of the practice of the extraordinary art of making themselves invisible by the thieves of lower Bombay. The thieves themselves, with better reason, feel doubly secure, for if, in spite of his invisibility, by some unlooked for and unlucky chance one is seized his oily body slips away like an eel's, and in the still more unlikely contingency of his being held with an unbreakable grip he has, slung by a slender cord about his neck, a little knife with an edge as sharp as that of the keenest razor, with which he cuts the tendons of the intruding wrist. This, however, he considers a last resort, for he prides himself upon doing his work without inflicting bodily harm upon his victims. To enter a zenana, or the women's apartment in a native house, where all the family treasures are kept, is the ambition of every native thief. This is no easy matter, for the zenana is in the center of the house, surrounded by other apartments occupied by ever wakeful sentinels. In order to reach it the thief burrows under the house until his tunnel reaches a point beneath the floor of the room to which access is sought. But the cautious native does not at once enter. Full well he knows that the inmates of the house sometimes detect the miner at work and stand over the hole, armed with deadly weapons, silently awaiting his appearance. He has with him a piece of bamboo, at one end of which a bunch of grass represents a human head, and this he thrusts up through the completed breach. If the vicarious head does not come to grief, the real one takes its place, and the thief, entering the zenana, secretes himself or, finding everything already favorable for his purpose, proceeds to attempt what seems an impossible undertaking. This in- He has with him a piece of bamboo, at one end of which a bunch of grass represents a human head, and this he thrusts up through the completed breach. If the vicarious head does not come to grief, the real one takes its place, and the thief, entering the zenana, secretes himself or, finding everything already favorable for his purpose, proceeds to attempt what seems an impossible undertaking. This indeed is no less a task than to remove from the ears and arms and noses the earrings, bracelets, armlets, bangles and nose rings of the sleepers without awakening them and to get safely away with his plunder. Who but a dacoit would be equal to so delicate, dangerous and difficult a piece of work? But the dacoit seldom fails. "These adroit burglars," says my authority, "commit the most darling robberies in the midst of the English army. Knowing the position of the tents, they mark out one which is occupied by an officer of high rank and creep silently toward it. Arrived at the tent, their sharp knife makes them a door in the canvas, and they glide undiscovered into the interior. Indeed so wonderfully adroit are they that even the very watchdogs do not discover them, and a thief has been known to actually step over a dog without disturbing the animal." But the most marvelously clever device practiced by the thieves of lower Bombay is that used by the Mooches in throwing pursuers off their track. The Mooches come down in gangs from the back country and raid the settlements. Their specialty is poisoning cattle. They smear plantain leaves with their own particular brand of cattle exterminator and scatter them about among the herds at night. In the morning as many of the cattle as have partaken are dead and have been abandoned by their owners. The Mooches flay the dead animals and sell their hides. Pursued, these honest creatures make at full speed for the jungle. If they reach it, all hope of capturing them is at an end, but even when they discover that they must be overtaken before they reach it they by no means lose heart and are measurably sure of escaping, especially if, as is very often the case in India, the surface is burned over and the trees and bushes that have not been consumed are charred and blackened and bereft of their foliage and many perhaps reduced to little more than blackened stumps by the fire by which the fields are annually burned over. If hard pressed in such a country as this, they cease to fly and immediately disappear. For a long time the English troops which policed the districts where they made their raids were completely nonplused. Again and again on the very point of being captured the Mooches escaped by miraculously vanishing, and officers as well as soldiers became superstitious. With the power of maintaining fixed, immovable postures, in which their race seems to excel, these Indians, grasping in their hands such blackened branches as they pick up in their flight, can instantly assume and retain for a long time at once enter.

One of the members of the United States Geological Survey recently called attention to a striking contrast in the development of the country lying on each side of the boundary line between Oregon and Idaho. In Southwestern Idaho, near Boise City and the State line, there is a considerable section well developed by irrigation. Owing to the combined advantages of the rich character of the soil, the favorable conditions of the climate and irrigation, this district contains some of the best fruit-growing country in the world. Just on the other side of the State line, in Oregon, along the Malheu and Owyee rivers, exactly the same conditions exist—rivers, soil and climate—with the exception of the application of water to the land by irrigation, the vital condition. In consequence, this section, though but a few miles distant from the other, and just as capable of high development, is a desert country. Here is the whole important question of irrigation in the arid West in a nutshell: With it, homes, farms and industry; without it, a desert. CURIOUS RESULT OF IRRIGATION: Experienced irrigators of the arid lands of the West say that, where the character of the soil is loose and sandy, as it is in many parts of the central valley of California, and often elsewhere in the West, it drinks up the water put upon it in a most astonishing way. Thousands and thousands of gallons are run over it and quickly absorbed by the thirsty soil when irrigation is first begun, and this may be continued for two or three years if the soil is deep. After several years of continuous soaking, however, during which time the ground has taken in great quantities of water, it reaches a condition approaching saturation, when it no longer needs more to make it suitable for crops, and the question may even become one of getting rid of the surplus. It is a well-known fact that the country in which Fresno, in Southern California, stands today, was originally a desert, arid waste, where sheep had to scramble for a living in a good year, and frequently starved to death in a dry one. Today there are thousands of acres of land under cultivation there, and the problem is no longer one of irrigation to another. It differs from simple in that, what the simile states the metaphor merely suggests. Ex.—“Life is an isthmus between two eternities.” An allegory is also founded on resemblance, but is more extended than either simile or metaphor. “Pilgrim’s Progress” and “Gulliver’s Travels” are examples of allegory. Personification consists in attributing life toanimate things. Ex.—“Fair Science frowned not on his humble birth.”[Gray. Syncedoche consists in making a part resemble the whole, or the whole a part. Ex.—“The marble (meaning the statue) is one of the masterpieces of art.” Metonomy is an expression in which one object is used for another, their relation being so close that the mention of one suggests the other. Ex.—“Have you read Shakespeare?”—that is, his works. Hyperbole is simply an exaggerated form of statement. The object of hyperbole is to make the thought more effective by overstating it. Ex.—“The front garden was no bigger than a napkin.” Apostrophe is direct address to the absent as though they were present, or to the inanimate as though they had life. Ex.— My country, its of tree. Sweet land of liberty. Of tree I sing.[S. F. Smith. Climax is the arrangement of thoughts in a series in such a way as to secure a gradual increase of impressiveness. Ex.—“Since concord was lost, friendship was lost; fidelity was lost; liberty was lost—all was lost!” Interrogation is asking a question, not for the purpose of an answer, but for rhetorical effect. Ex.—“Am I Rome’s slave?”—meaning, You know I am not Rome’s slave. Irony is praise in the form of ridicule. Ex.—“Brutus is an honorable man.” The purpose of figures is to make thought more agreeable or forecible. Figures which do not accomplish this are faulty. Many figures which were originally beautiful and impressive have become worn out and unimpressive, and the use of them should be avoided. A figure should not be used unless it is in perfect harmony with the subject which it is intended to explain or illustrate. order would be almost impossible execution. Instead of laying down broad rule the department will conduct publications and determine upfront action in each specific case. It plained at the postoffice department that it is not the intention to second-class rates to legitimate cations. They have not constituted burden upon the postal facilities country. The department’s action will aimed against cheap public which make offers of premium dentily of more value than the price itself. The postoffice department does not wish to injure those publications that give valuable for their subscription and yet operate premium schemes only aims to correct abuses which instance, have developed in our merchandise worth $1 and a prairie worthless publication whose suitation price ostensibly is $1. Since conference with the management of justice, the postmaster feels sure of his ground and will barring certain prints from a class privileges within a week days. There is no disposition part of the department to act as rily and all persons affected with hearings if desired. Mental Grievance Physical. The chamber of commerce of Ana has been nursing a grievant several months against the San Francisco because that road does not run train on its coast line through city. An appeal was made petition and committee to the manager at Los Angeles to enforce agreement entered into by Judge Son and Engineer Perris on behalf of railroad company with the Santa Ana at the time the junction located at Orange. General Mills replied that rather than the two trains daily down to San Antonio which do not go there, he wounded them off and discontinue that service. It is not material to which way the question is settled so far as can be judged from tance, the lack of the two trains Santa Ana is more of a mentalance than a physical loss. Fumigation.

The duties are a weariness, and social sures have no attraction. one of the commonest expressions of women cured by Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription is this: "It has made a new woman of me." There's a world of meaning in the words. It means the sparkle brought back to the eyes; the complexion tinted with the rosy hue of healthy blood; the form rounded out anew in ful curves; the whole body radiant uous soaking, however, during which time the ground has taken in great quantities of water, it reaches a condition approaching saturation, when it no longer needs more to make it suitable for crops, and the question may even become one of getting rid of the surplus. It is a well-known fact that the country in which Fresno, in Southern California, stands today, was originally a desert, arid waste, where sheep had to scramble for a living in a good year, and frequently starved to death in a dry one. Today there are thousands of acres of land under cultivation there, and the problem is no longer one of irrigation, but of drainage; and there is being now seriously agitated in the San Joaquin valley the question of the construction of a great drainage canal to drain off the irrigating water. In the city of Tulare when the white people first went there, water could not be found in wells at depths less than 75 to 100 feet below the surface of the ground. Today it is impossible to pump a well dry; it is even difficult to pump it down a foot. Ten or fifteen feet below the surface of the country seems to have become a great sponge. The reason for this rather surprising result of irrigation is that water introduced upon a given tract sinks into the soil, and in the course of years widely overflows its boundary, thoroughly moistens the adjoining lands and completely changes the whole section. The significance of this result is that though at first investments in irrigating plants give returns for but a limited area, in the course of a few years the same plant will have opened up for occupation and cultivation a much larger area than was originally expected. This view of the matter is interesting and suggestive of the possibilities of present irrigated lands in the next generation. Data concerning the conditions are being brought together by the Geological Survey as part of its investigation of the extent to which the arid land can be redeemed. The Key to Beauty. Perfect health is the key to beauty. Many a girl whose complexion might be clear and tinted, if she would give it a chance, goes through life with a thick muddy complexion because she insists on sleeping with her windows shut and breathes bad air for at least half the night. There should never be a light during the night, unless in case of sickness. A light promotes crow's feet; and if it is a gas light, it takes the freshness out of the air. The majority of people wear too much clothing. The thick layers of clothing prevent the air from reaching the body and prevent the body from throwing off the waste matter. The bath is a valuable aid to the necessary purity; but like all other things, it is liable to abuse. A warm bath is seldom injurious, but the safest is a tepid or a quite cold one. Only a short time should be allowed for the bath; but the drying should be vigorous and thorough. After a bath in cold water, an hour's walk is very beneficial if the clothing is good and warm. When very tired, sponge face am not Rome's slave. Irony is praise in the form of ridicule. Ex. — "Brutus is an honorable man." The purpose of figures is to make thought more agreeable or forcible. Figures which do not accomplish this are faulty. Many figures which were originally beautiful and impressive have become worn out and unimpressive, and the use of them should be avoided. A figure should not be used unless it is in perfect harmony with the subject which it is intended to explain or illustrate. Second-Class Mail Matter. Postmaster General Smith has taken up the question of reform in second-class mail with Attorney General Knox. These two cabinet members agree that there is sufficient warrant in existing law for the rigid enforcement of orders against fake publications which have been admitted to the mails as second-class matter. It was at first thought that the postmaster general would issue an order setting forth the views of the department and denying second-class rates to certain publications. It now seems probable that such will not be the course of the department. Investigation has shown that there are so many publications which offer bona fide premiums that a sweeping AFTER GRIP WHAT? The Perilous Period Which Follows an Attack of this Mysterious Malady. Grip is bad enough with its aching bones, inflamed eyes, painful back, and fever. But its after effects are perhaps even more to be dreaded than the misery attendant on an attack of the disease itself. The person who comes safely through an attack of grip, man, woman, or child, is left in a condition of peculiar debility and prostration from which it is difficult to rally. A slight cold or cough may find speedy termination in lung Sage's Catarrh Remedy. I do not that I spent the money paid for my icines.

The disease seems to deplete the vitality, undermine the strength, and affect the balance of the mind. It is one of the sad experiences of the grip, that the convalescent supposed to be rallying well, has been found in a condition of complete collapse. As a result of the grip the lungs, and other organs of respiration seem peculiarly liable to be affected and consumption may easily be the after consequence of the malady. It needs no argument therefore to urge the building up of the system weakened by grip to enable it to resist and throw off these sequent diseases which so frequently prove fatal. In actual test Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has proved itself peculiarly valuable not only in the quick cure of the disease but also in rebuilding the body which grip has undermined and in curing diseases which are prone to fasten on the enfeebled system. It strengthens the stomach, heals the lungs, and purifies the blood. It puts the whole body on a plane of sound and vigorous health. A VICTIM OF GRIP. "Two years ago this month I had an attack of grip which left my throat and lungs in bad condition," writes Mrs. M. E. Stewart, of Center, Chickasaw Nation, Ind. Ter. The doctor said I had disease of the bronchial tubes, but confessed to my husband (unknown to me), that I had consumption in the first stage and could never be cured; but, thanks to God and to Dr. Pierce, to-day I feel well, and am better now than I have been for many years. I can do as much work now as any woman of my age, which is forty-seven. One of my neighbor women advised me to get Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, so I sent and got it, and then I was not satisfied with it alone, hardly believing it would cure me, so I wrote to Dr. Pierce and gave him my symptoms. He replied that I had catarrh of the head, extending to my lungs, and told what would cure me. I took his advice—never neglected it for anything. I have taken seventeen bottles of 'Golden Medical Discovery,' eight vials of Dr. Pierce's Pellets, and ten packages of Dr. breast. If you starve the stomach starve the organs it feeds. But treatment of the body can be accomplished even where food is plentifully eaten because if the stomach and other of digestion and nutrition are not then the food will not be conveniently nourished will grow weak. The first attempt dealing with a weak body is too it into strength. The general man this attempt is to try and bring down to the level of the weakest men in our position. But this doesn't cure the disease stomach or put the organs of our body into a condition to build up them. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Deals directly with the stomach blood. It seeks to bring the stock to the level of strong, healthy when this is done the body strength, puts on flesh, throws ease, and enters on a new life these results follow the use of Medical Discovery' is proved by timony of thousands of weak men and women and by their use of 'Discovery,' of diary lungs, heart, kidneys, liver, etc., originated in the disease of thymus and its allied organs of digestive nutrition.

The mines and mining claims are: The Old Shoes, The Rec Bug, The Fatsy Bolivar, The Harmony, the Standard, the Central (one half), The Folka Dot, The Bull's Eye, The Full Moon, The Half Moon, The Meteor, the Colored Money, The Fellowship, The Little Giant, The Lookout, The Jason, The Blackhawk, The Lone Star, The Lucky Boy and Sixteen to One. There is also the undivided one-tenth of the Good Hope group of mines and claims, twelve in number. Values in ores are of gold, silver, lead, copper and some bismuth, as the product of the veins. ...OLD SHOES MINE... During the former explorations, and by sinking the shaft on the Old Shoes mining claim and vein by mill sampling, these values were found and shown to be in the ore of that vein: First: On discovery, small chips were broken off all along this Old Shoes vein, at surface croppings of the vein, for the distance of 1000 feet, these crushed and sampled down to 25 pounds, and then down to an assay sample, which, on assay, gave gold value per ton of rock in place, $6.14. Sinking by shaft was started at once, at depth: Three feet.....$8.56 Six feet.....17.14 47.64 19.34 33.06 Eight feet.....12.40 Twelve feet.....22.50 Twenty-eight feet.....10.65 Fifty-seven feet.....12.62 Seventy-two ft.(v. in gfeet).....20.62 Three Sections-1.....8.50 2.....19.91 3.....83.45 Seventy-six feet.....59.82 All of the outside claims and the veins thereof, as outroppings have been sampled just as was the surface of the Old Shoes vein outerropping. The ores are similar, and the result of values was an average of three to nine dollars per ton of the rock in place, as exposed by the veins' outerroppings. The results having been obtained from eightteen mill samples of about 25 pounds each, and each crushed and averaged down to the assay sample. It is plain apparent that all of these claims will justify good development in search for the high-grade ore shoots of the vein. Work has been resumed and is now in progress on these properties.

The Supreme Court has handed down decision in a Riverside case, upholding the law making fumigation of beards for red scale compulsory. The law provides that if any person re-uses to fumigate his orchard when ordered to do so by the commissioners, the commissioner is authorized to have the work done, the bill to be a lien on the property. Alfred Butcher of Riverside refused fumigate his orchard. The commissioners ordered the work done. Butcher refused to pay the bill. Riverside county brought suit against him for compel payment of the claim. The case was fought in the Superior Court, and Judge Noyes rendered a decision favor of defendant. Some days ago the Supreme Court reversed this decision. The bill was $157, which will have to be paid, together with costs of it. Failing in that, the orchard will taken and sold to satisfy judgment. age's Catarrh Remedy. I do not regret that I spent the money paid for the medicines. I have gained twenty-four pounds. Indeed Dr. Pierce's medicines have doneonders for me. It is no use for me to try to tell my feelings. It would take time and space, but I was a skeleton and poor and so down-hearted I could not look at one of my little ones without bleeding tears, thinking that they would soon be left without a mother." HOW STRENGTH IS RESTORED. What makes me strong? Ask yourself what question and you will find that the answer will be. I am made strong by food. How does food make us strong? By passing through the processes of digestion and being converted into nutrition, which, in the form of blood, nourishes the body. So that while blood is the life of the body, food is the life of the blood. Every red vein and artery of the body leads like a scarlet clue back to the stomach. If the body is weak, therefore, we must look to the stomach first for the cause of weakness, and then to the blood. The same result of physical weakness will follow the opening of an artery, or starvation. You may bleed to death or starve to death. This is so well understood in medical practice that the first consideration of the physician in investigating disease is the condition of the stomach. If the stomach is weak, the body can't be strong. If the stomach is weak, that weakness will surely first an echo in some other organ dependent on the stomach for its nutrition—such as heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, etc. If you starve a mother, you starve the child at her breast. If you starve the stomach, you starve the organs it feeds. But starva-t. Coyote Story. Dr. B. F. Nemo of the San Joaquin ranch states that coyotes have been a source of great loss to the ranchers in that section. He has lost 100 pigs by them, and has killed 21 of the "varmints." Two weeks ago, while chasing a coyote, his horse ran into a barbed-wire fence, throwing the doctor to the ground and rendering him unconscious. The horse was badly hurt. A coyote was caught in a steel trap near the old San Joaquin Club house. He dragged the trap from its fastenings and through the tules, across an open stretch to a pool of water, where he plunged in. He was found by the dogs before life was extinct, and finished in short order. A Sustaining Diet. These are the enervating days, when somebody has said, men drop by the sunstroke as if the Day of Fire had dawned. They are fraught with danger to people whose systems are poorly sustained; and this leads us to say, in the interest of the less robust of our readers, that the full effect of Hood's Sarasparilla is such as to suggest the propriety of calling this medicine something beside a blood purifier and tonic—say, a sustaining diet. It makes it much easier to bear the heat, assures refreshing sleep, and will without any doubt, avert much sickness at this time of year. Cheap to San Francisco via Santa Fe.

Agt., Los Angeles 251 South Spring St. Eight Cheap This is so well understood in medical practice that the first consideration of the physician in investigating disease is the condition of the stomach. If the stomach is weak, the body can't be strong. If the stomach is weak, that weakness will surely find an echo in some other organ dependent on the stomach for its nutrition—such as heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, etc. If you starve a mother, you starve the child at her breast. If you starve the stomach, you starve the organs it feeds. But starvation of the body can be accomplished even where food is plentifully supplied, because if the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition are diseased, then the food will not be converted into nutrition or only partly so, and the body inadequately nourished will begin to grow weak. The first attempt, then, in dealing with a weak body is to nourish it into strength. The general method of this attempt is to try and bring the food down to the level of the weak stomach. This is done by the use of prepared foods, cod liver oil, and its emulsions. But this doesn't cure the disease of the stomach or put the organs of nutrition into a condition to build up the body. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery deals directly with the stomach and blood. It seeks to bring the stomach up to the level of strong, healthful food when this is done the body gains in strength, puts on flesh, throws off disease, and enters on a new life. That these results follow the use of 'Golden Medical Discovery' is proved by the testimony of thousands of weak, rundown men and women and by their cure, by the use of 'Discovery,' of diseases of lungs, heart, kidneys, liver, etc., which originated in the disease of the stomach and its allied organs of digestion and nutrition. "Three years ago I had the grip," writes Mrs. Tillie Linney, of Gravel Switch, Marion Co., Ky. "It settled on my lungs, and the doctor said I had consumption. I took six bottles of 'Golden Medical Discovery,' and am thankful to say I am entirely well." Sick people are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter, free.
