AMERICAN PROGRESSIVENESS.
Last winter two years and a half
after the United States had announced
by the passage of the reclamation act
its Intention of going into the irriga-
tion business the British government
veteran of the great irrigation works
of India and Egypt sent over a com-
mission of engineers to see what kind
of start its younger sister was malting.
The engineers were taken into the
most desolate sjiots of Nevada and
Arizona the ’•cart of the Great Ameri-
can desert. n-d shown the works of
the Truckee-Carson and Salt river
project* — dams tunnels highroads
miles on milps of concrete-lined canals.
“Two years and a half!" one of
them exclaimed. “Tn England wc
would not have begun one such under-
taking without twenty years of prepa-
tation."
This was not British ultra-conserva-
tism: English engineers are as pro-
gressive as our own. It means only
what all good engineers know—that
the data absolutely preliminary to a
large irrigation scheme take one to
two decades to collect. The irrigable
area the size of the canals the height
and strength of the dams all depend
on the volume of the water supply
■which cannot be properly determined
in less than ten years. Not only does
the flow of a stream vary with the
season —it changes its tactics and per-
haps its course every few years. And
■with the knowledge of what it will do
nicst go intimate knowledge of the
gcologv.. meteorology and chemistry
of its whole basin that may take near-
ly as long to acquide.—The American
Magazine for March.
THE BOOM IN POSTAL CARDS.
To the boom in picture post eards
the post master general of Great Brit-
ain ascribes a decrease one one-half
j>er cent in the number of letters de-
livered last year in Iron don. There
'were delivered in the Tinted Kindgom
■734500000 postals—an increase of
nearly twenty per cent —and of these
eighty per cent were privately printed.
The per capita allowance of postal
cards in the kingdom would be seven-
teen to each person. Tn many locall-
tlis in the United States the postoflice
facilities have been swamped by the
excc-s of souvenir postals while on
tiie boardwalk at Atlantic City riots
have been narrowly averted because
the authorities had neglected to sup-
-1 v enough one-cent stamps to meet
the demand of the victims of carditis
postale.

I mania however are coincident

The flnbltme Reaatiee of the Grant

. This terrific gnsh Is more than 200
miles long and more than nubile deep
and its area exceeds 2000 square miles.
From the El Tovar rim on which 1
stand to tbe gleaming snow veined
crags on the opposite aide of this stu-
pendous cleft the distance Is thirteen
miles. Human vision cannot take in
the full extent of this wide pageant of
terror aud glory nor Is it within the ca-
pacity of words to set forth its over-
whelming splendor. The plain on which
I stand Is nearly 8000 feet strove sea
level and here in n prodigious fissure
—gaunt abrupt frightful and wonder-
ful—are assembled mountains valleys
enormous rocks precipitous crags ra-
vines of mystery and forests of gloom
through which the black waters of the
Colorado rush onward in their resist-
less flow and over which the dauntless
eagle wings its upward flight to meet
the aun. All the forma are here that
Imagination could construct and all tbe
colon are here that glow In sunset

AQUATIC PLANTS
How They May Bo Successfully Cultl-
rated In Tuba.
The cultivation of aquatic plants in
tubs makes it possible for any one to
try his skill with them. Of course be
need not expect to be able to grow the
rarer sorts of nymphaea. but he can
succeed with many beautiful varieties
of water Illy and other plants of that
class. A half barrel is not very at-
tractive In itself bitt its lack of beauty
may be concealed by the plants or it
mny lie sunk its depth in tbe earth.
When it contains a flue specimen of
some aquatic plant we will forget all
about Its lack of grace. When prepar-
ing for these plants put in rich black
mud from tbe bed of streams or muck
from swamps to the depth of n foot;
then plant your roots in It nnd fill with
water. Add enough water from time
to time to make up for that which is
lost by evaporation and give the tub a
sunny place in tbe yard or garden. If
you want to grow more plants than one
tub will accommodate it Is a good
plan to take four five six or as many
as you may decide on nnd have them
sunk In the ground close together so
that the general effect will be some-
thing like that which a large tank
would give. A better plan though a
more expensive one to carry out is
to have a tank constructed of heavy
planks. These should be securely bolt-
ed at the ends ahd the JtXnts made
tight by white lead in the grooves.
Ironmonßcr.
The word "ironmonger’’ has as curi-
ous an origin as any other word in the
English language. It means literally
an eater of Iron and came to Its present
use In this way. There was once a law
that forbade buying fish to sell again
and the fish hawkers who still carried
on their trade in spite of this law were
facetiously termed fish eaters or fish-
mongers. for to evade the law their
large purchases of fish were safd'lo be
for their own consumption. Gradually
the term monger was applied to other
trades as cheesemonger until at last
it came to mean any middle man as
distinguished from a manufacturer and
so was applied to the dealer in hard-
ware.—London Graphic.
Why He Was Eleefed.
A manufacturer In the north of Eng-
land expected to be beaten at the polls
by his own employees with whom he
was extremely unpopular. To his sur-
prise he was returned. His puzzled
agent sought for an explanation. "How
is It" he asked one of the workmen
“you voted for your master when you
all have such a bad opinion of him?’
“Well you see mon. we voted for ’m
so he cud put hisself away in pariia-
ment In London. We don't want ’lm
’ere!"
Eye FkartocTapba.
An Image Impressed upon the retina
of the eye remains there an appreciable

waking In the morning and looking at
the bright window then closing the
eves he will observe an impression or
phantom of the window for an appre-
ciable time after his eyes are closed.

Habit-forming Medicines.
Whatever may be the fact as to many
of the so-called patent medicines con-
taining Injurious ingredients as broadly
publhhed In some Journals of more or
less influence this publicity has certainly
been of great benefit In arousing needed
attention to this subject It has in a
considerable measure resulted In the
moat intelligent people avoiding such
foods and medicines as may be falrlv sue-
pected of containing the Injurious ingre-
dients complained of. Recognizing thia
fact some time »go. Dr. Pierce of Buffalo
N. Y. "took time by the forelock" as it
were and published broadcast all the
ingndienU of which his popular medi-
cine* are composed. Thus he has com-
pletely fonwtallnl all harping critics and
all opposition that might otherwise be
urged against his medicines because they
are now or knows comi-omtion. Fur-
thermore from the formula printed on
every tattle wrapper. It will be seen that
these medicines contain no alcohol or
other habit-forming drugs. Neither do
they contain any narcotics or Injurious
agents their ingredients being purely
vegetable extracted from the roots of
medlclnsl plants found growing In the
depths of our American forests and of
well recognized curative virtues.
Instead of alcohol which even in small
portions long continued as in obstinate
eases of diseases becomes highly objec-
tionable from its tendency to produce a
craving for stimulant*. Dr. Pierce em-
ploys chemically pure triple - refined
glycerine which of itself is a valuable
remedy In many cases of chronic diseases
being a superior demulcent antiseptic
antiferment and supporting nutritive.
It enhances the curative action of the
Golden Seal root’ Stone root. Black
Cherrybark and Bloodroot contained in
"Golden Medical Discovery." in all bron-
chial. throat and lung affections attended
with severe coughs. As will be seen from
the writings of the eminent Drs. Grovor
Coe of New York; Bartholow of Jeffer-
son Medical College. Phlla.; Scudder of
Cincinnati; Eilingwnod. of Chicago:
Hale of Chicago and others who stand
as leaders in their several schools of
practice the foregoing agents are the
very best ingredients that Dr. Pierce
could have chosen to make np his fa-
mous " Discovery" for the cure of not
only bronchial throat and lung affec-
tions but also of chronic catarrh in all
its various forms wherever located.

SPEED OF ANIMALS.
The Ureyhsuad Lend*. Followed by
the Horse and the lied Deer.
The following interesting letter con-
cerning the relative speed of animals
appeared In the Ixmdon Field:
The fastest animal we have is the
greyhound. The next are the race
horse the red deer and the hare and
then corner the good. big. bold dog
fox. which is a fine galloper on good
going in comparison with any of
the above the fastest foxhound on
sound flat turf is as slow as a man
mowing grass for baymaking. But if
yon radically alter the trial ground tbe
above does not hold good. For Instance
on rough clods whether melted or not
a hare cannot run at all; hence she gen-
erally takes care not to go there and
where greyhounds are kept she habitu-
ally Iles In her form near the fringe of
a rough fallow that when coursed she
may quickly be on good going. With
such long powerful hind legs a bare
can beat anything up a steep bill. A
foxhound can easily beat any horse
over deep clay plow because the horse
weighs as much as twelve hounds and
therefore sinks deeply. In stag bunt-
ing the red deer tires earlier than the
blood hunter though the horse may not
be faster but great consideration must
be made for tbe discretion of a good
horseman who avoids exhausting deep
ground which the deer plods through.
A run of eight miles wlthlu the hour
In either of the three wet wintry
months would leave the body of tbe
field behind but it would be easy to n

the March winds have dried the coun-
try and the obstacles are only ordinary.
CONNECTS THE BRAIN.
The Organ That Enables tbe Hfnl-
> epherea to Aet la Harmony.
Near the base of every well organ-
ized human brain there is situated a
curious little spongy body called the
corpus callosum. This all Important
little organ consists of a double chain
of white nen e fibers and It is through
these that the two portions (hemi-
spheres) of the brain are enabled to act
in harmony by being continually
brought into anatomical and physiolog-
ical relations with each other.
Several years ago a well known Phil-
adelphia physician and surgeon. Dr.
A. H. Stevens made the announcement
that iu bla belief tbe corpus callosum
was the scat of tbe sou). His peculiar
ideas were given quite an airing
through tbe press at that time but the
whole theory fell pretty flat when Dr.
A. F. Sawyer of San Francisco proved
that a certain west coast worthy had
survived twenty years after having tbe
entire corpus callosum shot out of his
thought tank and that another had
lived eleven years nftcr sustaining a
similar Injury. The psychologists were
pretty well agreed that a man's life
would terminate the moment bls soul
made Its exit on the lead of a pistol
cartridge. It was these well attested
cases of men living after losing the cor-
pus callosum that caused Dr. Stevens’
"soul theory" to relapse into obscurity.

SURVELING A CANYON. '
The climax came at a point where
the canyon turned abruptly at right
angles. By the little beach where they
landed to take counsel the water slid
with gathering speed struck the oppo-
site wall roaring and foaming and dis-
appeared around the bend. What hap-
pened beyond the bend tbev didn't
know; they didn't want to. But they
semed destined to find out. Only a
fly could scale the canyon wall; even
a snake could not return against that
current. They took five minutes to
make all fast Hhey were surprised to
And that those five minutes had not
turned their hair gray. Then they
pushed off'and the current took them.
They were whirled through a momen-
tary hell of wated and thunder and
shot out Into —as quiet a little pool as
ever lay In the shadow of a cliff.
