Wonderful Spring in the California Desert?Elastic Bottom. Dot* in the California desert, 150 mi lea from Los Angeles, and 6ix miles fro> . the line of the Southern Pacific railroad, are the remnants of what whs once the "Garden of Eden." Some twenty-five years ago some St. Louio and Evansville capitalists con celv ' the idea that the desert land couln he utilized, and by irrigation could be made a great fruit-produc ing country. Accordingly they set out an im mense orchard of young trees?apri cot,'lemon, orange and citron?built substantial builainr* for their over ?per and workme laid artificial walks and oeautified the grounds w th shrubbery and flowers. They made a contract with a corn pan;- which owned a reservoir on the San Bernardino mountains, and soon th: liquid life from the uplands was flowing into the garden, beautifying and transforming every growing thing. This went on for several year and from that sandy waste grew into promiso and beauty, a love ly orchard. So sanguine were the promoters that they incurred the expense of a narrow guage railway from their property to the Southern Pacific, making connection at Palms Spring Station. The grove was now at al moE' the bearing point and the inves tors were looking forward'to quick dividends, when, as a result of art altercation between the grove owners a .0 the water company, the latter cut off the water supply, and long bef:i the matter could be adjusted by the courts the flowers had with ered, the trees had died and the whole estate had reverted to the deser\ with only the stump of a tree v*re and there "to point the moral and adorn the tale." A few miles, from this wreck, says the Louisville "Courier-Journal," around the spur of a mountain, is a little valley, ownpd by a canny. Scotchman, Dr. Murray. The doctor has orought the water from the mountain near by and has created an "oasis in the desert." rie has about ten acres In oranges and alfalfa, anu nothing could be more pleasant to the eye, after rang ing over a sandy, waste, than this charming little valley. An Indian reservation adjoins the d?ctor's ranch, and from them he leases for $100 pei annum, a rare spring. The pool formed by this spring is about as large as a good sized room and is covered by a rude shack. The uniform temperature oj the water is 100 c'egrees. and It is said to have many healing properties being especially efficacious in all man ne.- Oil blood and nervous troubles. When you first ent^r this pool youi feet strike a soft, sandy bottom and you are apparently in water aboul 18 incxies deep. All nt once a ripply goes over the surface, much as if stone had been thrown in, and neai you you notice the sand has opened, disclosing a hole as large as the ein c-inference of your body, but how v'">ep you are fraid to think. iJut the doctor calls there Is no danger and you take your life In young hands and plunge in. DowrJ you go up to your neck, and, fearing a quick sand, you call out to the doc tor, but he, smiling imperturbly, blda you keep quiet and await results. Presently you feel a soft impact upon the soles of your feet, and slowly but irresistibly you feel your self being forced to the surface. With in the space of three minutes you ' are again standing in eighteen lnche? of water, and the hole has disappear e^, only to appear a few feet further on. iou hasten to it, plunge in ami a-ain reach the surface as before, Only one hole is formed at a time, and between th? closing of one and the appearing of another, there id an interval of about five minutes. In this wonderful bath you do not reqr're any brush or soap, but when you come out your skin is smooth and spotless, here and there appear ing upon your body minute scales of silica. After dashing a bucket of < -Id water over you you feel wonder fully invigorated and refreshed. People come hundreds of miles to barhp ir. th?se healinpr waters, and If th' looter enu-.i ?? -'y move !h' spring to Los Angeles he could mulcts his fortune in a few years. The In- | dians (the Mission tribe) attach great value to the water and use the overflow of the pool for bathing and drinking purposes. Must Guarantee to Return.

The Manufacture of Kashmir Shawls Almost an Extinct Industry. The manufacture of Kashmir shawls which fifty years ago afforded occu pation for whole villages and thous ands of families ia the province of Kashmir, is an almost extinct indus try. Formerly the possession of a pair of the genuine Kashmir shawls was the hall mark of nobility, or at least of high social status, among In dian families. Today, we are told, the cheap imi tations manufactured in the Punjab, and the machine made article from Europe dyed with aniline in striking hues and patterns, are supplanting the hand made shawl of native workman ship. An occasional order for a cou ple of shawls at a moderate price, to satisfy the passing whim of a pot entate, or the fact that the Maharaja of Kashmir has a few shawl tenta which require repair and renewal, does not suffice to keep alive the workman or tne industry. The manufacture of the real Kash mir shawl is almost wholly a manual process. The material is the soft wool of the Tibetan goat. Hand spindles are used in the preliminary operation of converting the wool into yarn; the weaving of the yarn into a texture of inimitable fineness is done entire ly by hand looms manipulated with the utmost dexterity; and the colored ?woolen border is then Interwoven. The dyes are natural and indelible. It is believed that the water of certain lakes and streams in which the shawls are dipped has virtue to make the colors permanent.* Mormons in Mexico. The wonderful success of the Mor mon colonies in the northwestern part of Chihuahua and in northeast ern Sonora is little appreciated in Mexico, where they alone of all for eigners have accomplished their aim ?colonization. They now number fully 4,000 souls, 3,500 in Chihuahua and 50O in Sonora. They are pros perous to a high degree, have beauti ful homes splendid school rooms and an educational system, good farms and orchards, good cattle, horses and hogs, and in every way their settle ments would pass muster with the thrifty farming settlements in the western part of the United States and are an object lesson in Mexico. The Mormons in Mexico are an example of the best in a quiet, law-abiding peo ple. It is exceedingly seldom that the authorities have any trouble with Mormons, and they pay their taxes for the support of the government better than the Mexican's themselves do. For thrift and industry they are proving what can be done in building up the country materially, and are thereby an example to all with whom they are In contact.?Modern Mexico. Forgotten Poet. The Rev. Mardy Rees of Chelsea, who has been lecturing on "Ebenezar Jones, the neglected poet," has now published an interesting little pamph let giving the result of his researches, for Jones lived in Chelsea, died at forty in 1860, and was buried at Snea fleld. Mr. Rees describes him as a Welshman, and as to his claims to fame, Watts Dunton has written that among men who have expressed themselves in English verse I greatly doubt whether a more robust person ality has appeared since Byron." Dante Gabriel Rosetti, who knew Jones well, once said: "This remark able poet affords nearly the most striking instance of neglected genius in our modern school of poetry."? South Wales Daily News. America's Modern House. A very modern architect predicts the house of one large room, a small electric kitchen attached and an en ormous inclosed porch with facilities for outdoor sleeping.

In the old days of chivalry the boldier did not receive direct pay in the exact souse that he does to-day tut for bis .set". i?.es rewards w?M*s uuc, and ucijujsui'uy so, -to iire^r'-*. in him proper Subordination. His Keep and his weapons were furnish? ed him by his "over-lord," and with them food and raiment, and certain privileges pertaining to his art. now known and included in the modern term "loot." The rule has passed down the ases that a fighting man must nee.Js fight lor something more substantial than principle, and more satisfying than patriotism, so that even in the Rev olution, the obscure pages of history, is found this momentous question ol pay, and right troubling as it was al that time. In the War of 1812, a better regu lation had come into effect and the allowances for rations and clothing and pay were saner and more satis lying, as indeed was true in the later war with Mexico, and in the great Rebellion of 1860. The side won which had the money behind it; the armies which were fed and cloth ed and paid, were maintained at effective strength during the terri ole later days' struggles, while the less fortunate opponents found theit lighting strength dwindling away, r.rue perhaps, owing to physical ex haustion, but nevertheless equally true, indeed, owing to an uncertain supply of the essential elements tor aoldiers; and not the least of these was pay. Parallel with this question arises rhe fart that a soldier's profession is a trade in exactly the same sense that .?arpentry, masonry or mechamcs ire a source of livelihood, and to .naintain an effective, disciplined ar my, the enumeration must be com petitive with the price paid in civilian life. So in the War of the Rebellion. ;.i'ter the supply of volunteer enlist ments had been practically exhaust ed, the authorities did not appeal to the partiotism of the nation, >ul to the pockets, in the shape of a bounty, and this certainly did meet .be situation for the time being. The days of going to church with a rifle over the shoulder have been lorgotten, the menace of the Indian jf the West has passed, there is unl .ersal security practically from one .-?nd of the country to the other, and ^he soldier's weapon, once so necess ary for self-preservation, is used on iy as a diversion In the few remain ing game centers, and in the target galleries. With this has passed the fellow ieeling tor the man who must face physical annihilation at the call of a principle and the order of his su perior. So that the first question asked by a piuspective recruit is the momentous question of pay, and his first mental action is a comparison betweon the soldier pay and that of his former occupation. The attrac tive recruiting posters do not state much aoout the actual advantages o' a soldier's life from a patriotic point 31 view; they dwell upon the pay und the allowances, and somewhat of course upon the change of life in volved. So the great fallacy that each and every American is a soldier by in stinct and race if a rifle is but plac ed in his hand, is pathetically appar ent to-day. This was indeed true to a certain extent when the edge of the forest might harbor the savage Indian, but that has long passed, and the performances of our citizen sol diery, such as at Bladensburg and at Queenstown, and later In the earl ier days of the Civil War, does not reflect any great amount of credit on America. A modern army to-day must be organized upon a business basis if 'A must compete for men with the in dustrial world; the soldier must re ceive adequate pay and allowances to be contented, disciplined and effi cleut, so "that the present scale ot pay, existing since 1S70, both for officers' and enlisted men, is totally inadequate to warrant making the army a career for the best men oi the nation, and the American Army should be of the best the country can furnish.?From Army and Navy Life. Almost Human Intelligence, Something new and interesting about ants was recently learned by a florist.. For a week or so he nad been bothered by auts that got into boxes of seeds, which rested on a shelf. To get rid of the ants he put into execution an old plan, which was to place a meaty bone close by, which the ants soon covered, deserting the boxes of seeds. As soon as the bone vecame thick ly inhabited by the little creepers the florist tossed it into a tub ol water. The ants having been wash ed off, the bone was again put in use as a trap. The florist bethought himself that he would save trouble by placing the hone in the center of a sheet of fly paper, believing that the ants would get caught on the sticky fly-papyr while trying to reach the food. Bui the florist was surprised to find thai the ants, upon discovering the nature of the paper trap, formed a working force and built a path on the papei clear to the bone. The material for the work was sand, secured from a little pile near by. For hours the ants worked and when the path was completed they made their way over its dry sur face in couples, as iE a march, to th< bone.?Nature. Colds That Hang On.
