Water, Taken from the l'eclflo, fient to
Atlantic Orenn.
It Is a remarkable fact that water
which flowi naturally Into the Gulf of
California and thence Into the Pacific
ocean has been virtually lifted across
the backbone of the Rocky mountains,
and now, after being used for Irriga
tion, finds its way into the Gulf of
Mexico. A number of small streams
on the other side of Long's peak,
which flow into Grand lake and thence
into the Colorado river, have been di
verted by a ditch that flndB its way
'through 10,000 feet high into tho head
waters of the Poudre. Some 400 cubic
feet per second has thus been diverted
from the Pacific to the Atlantic elope,
where the water Is used for irrigating
additional farms in Larimer county.
It Is not strictly correct to say that
this water has been lifted across the
range. But a feat of sinuous engineer
ing has diverted it, which amounts to
the samo thing.
nirthplaee of the Cable.
The old house formerly occupied by
Cyrus W. Field, in East Twenty-third
street. New York, Is now being torn
down to make room for a more pre
tentious structure. It was in this
house that Mr. Field lived when ho
first broached the Idea of building a
cable between Europe and America.
He still made the old house his home
when, after twelve years of disap
pointment and struggle, the great
dream of his life became an accom
plished fact For some years the
building has been used as a boarding
house. Now It is being razed to the
ground.
My
Mother
Had
Consumption
"My mother was troubled
with consumption for many
years. At last she was given
up to die. A neighbor told her
not to give up but try Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral. She did so
and was speedily cured, and is
cow in the enjoyment of good
health." D. P. Jolly.
Feb. a, 1899. Avoca, N. Y.
Cures
Hard Coughs
No matter how hud your
cough is or how long you have
had it, Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
is the best thing you could
possibly take. But it's , too
risky to wait until you have
consumption, for sometimes it's
impossible to cure this disease.
If you are coughing today,
don t wait until tomorrow, but
get 1 bottle of Cherry Pec
toral st once and be relieved.
It strengthens weak lungs.

In tho current number ol the Geo
graphical Journal Dr. Moreno gNos an
account of Patagonia, which is a por
tion of that vast area in South Amer
ica still unknown to geography, and
interesting because of the rich prod
ucts, which It probably contains, and
Its charming landscapes. It seems that
Patagonia docs not merit the bad repu
tation as regards scenery which It has
had slnco Darwin and Fitzroy received
a disagreeable Impression from the
portion they explored. The plateaus
of Arizona find their analogy in the
table lands of Patagonia, and "the pic
turesque fjords and white mountains of
Alaska seem to be a copy of tho fjords
and mountains of Patagonia." The
analogy might be pushed even further,
for It seems there is a strange similar
ity between the ancient customs and
industries of the Alaskan and Pata
gonlan Indians.

Tea-Drinking In Ruasla.
The Russians drink enormous quan
tities of tea, bu (Helen t to frighten any
Englishman or American. The poor
people and the Russian people are
the poorest In existence use the so
called "brick" tea. This is tho cheap
est sort, being mixed with Btems, and
compressed by aome adhesive gum into
dry cakes of various sizes, resembling
in its appearance "plug" tobacco. This
tea, which would probably prove pois
onous to any one else, is consumed by
the Russian worklniman at the aver
age rate of about twenty stakans (or
tumblers) a day, the Russian stakan
being quite equal to five ot the littlo
thimbles ot cups used n America at
afternoon teas. Taking l.lto considera
tion that black, sour or Nltter, brick
like bread, raw onions, garlic, dried
leather-fish and strongly s.Mted herr
ings are usually the chief reticles ot
food of the people at large, one must
not wonder at the enormous quantity
of hot tea needed to quench , Rus
sian's thirst and help on his digestion.
to Rooking Lullaby.
Strange at it may seem, the ti. he
honored custom of rocking babies to
sleep is a bud one. It is injurious
the children themselves, and is a causv
eventually of much unnecessary
trouble to their guardians. Mothers
should therefore see to it that from the
very first the little ones are brought
up in the way they should go, and that
the monthly nurse does not get them
into bad habits by rocking them to
sleep either in her arms or la their
cots. There is no doubt that rocking
is the most expeditious way of induc
ing a baby to go to sleep, but if one
once starts, a baby will not sleep with
out It, and at a later age is likely to
suffer from insomnia. Rocking may
save immediate troublo to a lazy nurss
or mother by Inducing sleep when a
child does not requrre It, or when it
ought to be taken up from Its cot and
have clean clothes put on, but It will
never cause that sweet, gentle and per
fect sleep which should be character
istic ot a baby who has no artificial
aids to induce slumber.

Contrast of Wanly Arrived Immigrant,
and Their Amerleanlied Relations.
There was a meeting outside tho
barge office. A batch of immigrants
had come in, and Glulla and her man
were in waiting to receive some now
Jy arrived relatives. Glulla was brave
In her finest and most gorgeous rai
ment, combining a reckless love of
bright colors with an ardent desire to
look American. Her hat was a mar
vel of Third avenue millinery. Her
bright dress was after the most ap
proved autumn model, always, of
course, from the Third avonno stand
point, and the pendant earrings, great
yellow brooch, and Jingling bracelets
were dazzling to behold. To crown
all, and as an Irresistible finish, she
had squeezed -her plump hands Into a
pair of yellow kid gloves, momentarily
threatening to burst. Pletro's scarlet
nccktlo, generous expanse of shirt
front, low-cut mottled waistcoat, and
highly glided watch chain limited his
powers of self-adornmrnt, but his lit
tlo wife cheerfully made up for all ho
lacked. Shrill erics of "Ecco! Ecco!"
turned tho dull eyes of three persons
In their direction, and, extricating
themselves from tho excited crowd,
they wlthdrow to contemplato each
other at their leisure. The contrast
was painful on one side, pathetically
ludicrous on the other. Francisco and
his sisters gazed blankly ot their
changed and resplendent relations.
The man had on tight breeches of
homespun, a gray flannel shirt with a
red cotton handkerchief knotted at the
throat, and was a picturesque speci
men of Tuscan manhood. The women
wore bare-headed; covert glances had
been exchanged over Glulla's startling
headgear. They wore huge, roughly
cobbled boots, and short petticoats
displaying striped blue and yellow
stockings, and knit worsted shawls of
variegated colors were tightly drawn
about the shoulders and fastened at
the opened throat with monstrous cor
al brooches, the crowning glory of
their attire. Hut Glulla! Truly she
was a queen In comparison! Never
mind! Americanisms are quickly ac
quired, and if the brother is lucky six
months may see their metamorphosis.

The bitter feeling which Paul Kru
ger cherishes toward tho British is cer
tainly not lessened by the memory that
his own fa titer was the man who fired
the first shot at 'the English troops
at Boomplatz In 181S, and by the fur
ther thought that he was one of those
who were driven by the English to
take part in the great "trek" of 1830.
Again, In !Eu4, when the noers peti
tioned the queen to be allowed to re
main under the protection of the Brit
ish flag, the elder Kruger was one of
Its signers. The answer of the duke of
Newcastle, who returned the petition
with the remark that it could not be
entertained and that England had al
ready extended its rule too tar in Af
rica, has always been remembered b)
Kruger and his associates as an un
dying insult.
