Sweetâ€"smelling to the siclr. and Agents of the Canadian Pacific, as well as Government representatives. have been doing some proselyting all over the West. They are on'ering as an additional hid the throwing off of the tax on cattle. this to ofiset the import, duty into the United States. They prophesy that upon the long grass up there many thouâ€" sands of dollars can be made in the next decade. A thousand-pound cow is the average turn-out on the Cana- dian range. and this means big mo- ney for the raisers. It is Within very recent date that experimenting scientists, including the most reputable of physicians, have learned that, perfumes are real- ly medicines given in another formâ€" ,through the nostrils, says the Lonâ€" don Express. One might go further back and find that medicinal perâ€" fumes are only rediscovered now, for they were really discovered centuries ago, when incense and myrrh were used to Cure ills as well as for wor- ship. Cattlemen say that fully a million head altogether W111 be taken from the Western ranges next spring. Al- most all of this number will come from Texas and New Mexico, with a few hends from Kansas. Nebraska. and Wyoming cattlemen still hope for a leasing proposition from Conâ€" gress. The dry weather of the last year has left the ranges in bad shape, especially in Wyoming, and the real reason Why there is no great exodus from these regions is that most of the cattle that it would pay to take North have been sold off the. range. TWO OTHER GREAT HERBS, those of Pan‘amore and Merchant, of Abilene, Tex., will also be moved next spring. They have had agents in the Northwest looking up locaâ€" tions, and between them they will lands take} 40,000 head to thewCanat-j; as has made Wyoming the scene of many a. murder in recent. years, the Canadian Government has divided the range so that, no sheep get on the cattlemen’s land and no cattle on that of the sheep men. The coun- try is entirely new, and there are many thousands of acres upon which the grass has never been nipped. The result of such an exodus will be to build up the Northwest Ter- ritory greatly as a. cattle country. Land for fencing is offered at very low figures and the range is free to all. To prevent trouble between the cattlemen and the sheep men, such Last year the Littlefields refused a. million cash for their holdings of land and cattle. They have three- quarters of a million acres of land, fronting fourteen miles on the Pecos River. and also own a 1,400â€"acre hay farm near Rossville, N.M., which is stocked with highâ€"grade cattle. In the last twenty years they have marketed cattle to the value of $7,000,000. including a. large sprinkling of grad- ed shorthorns and llerefords, will be moved. Six or seven years are expected to be consumed in the herd removal, the process including the marketing and maturing of beeves and the seâ€" curing; of as many cows as possible for the new grazing country. The Littlelleld herd consists of 50,000 head, with a branding this year of some 15,000 calves. The company also buys each year a number of yearling steers, thus providing an annual marketing of two-yearâ€"olds, The Canadian Government is lend- ing its eiiorts to promote the ex- odus and is ofi‘cring land very cheap. The great, Littlefield Cattle Company >which has vast herds in the Pecos Valley of New Mexico and the Pan- handle of Texas. has leased 3. milâ€" lion acres in Assiniboine for twentyâ€" one years at two cents an acre a year. Three hundred miles of barbed wire fence, at a cost, of $50 a mile. will be built. beginning next year, and The cattle raisers who have taken the lead in the matter so far are those from New Mexico and Texas. Where the fences have already been forced down. They say that they will give the Government a chance to find out, What they have already discovered, that much of the grazing land is unfit for agricultural pur- poses. and _ they express the confiâ€" dent belief that the States that have permitted the cattlemen to be driven out will be sorry. FROM THE UNITED STATES IN LARGE NUMBERS. Angry Over Orders to Remove Fences and Say the States Will Be Sorry. The attitude of the Government upon the question of fencing ranges and the evident determination of the President to force the removal of all drift fences have started an exodus of cattlemen to Canada, and unless satisfactory assurances are given that Congress will take some action looking to the leasing of the lands new used for grazing the exodus pro- iniseis to become of alarming propor< tions, says 8.

The bad efi’ects may proceed from some mental disturbance. It may be lworry or excessive anxiety about. iyour business, your family af‘fiairs. or 1some other matter. Whatever the cause, you must find and remove it, or allow it, to wreck your life. You cannot do good work if the nervous system is shattered. If the nerve centres are systematically rob- bed of nourishment, or demoralized by‘mental or physical dissipation, the whole machinery of body and mind is thrown out of order.

A medical man. who has kept a nightly record of his pulse for five years, says that every year it falls through the spring until about midâ€" summer, and then rises through the autumn to November or December. Then comes a. second {all and rise, culminating in February. THE PULSE AND THE SEASONS Look for the cause at once. Per- haps you have been smoking too many cigarettes or cigars. Few things exhaust, energy or lower \‘iâ€" tality so rapidly as excessive smokâ€" ing. Perhaps you are burning both ends of your candle, sitting up late at night, going to parties every ev- ening, and trying to keep up with your Work or your studies during the day, handicapped by loss of sleep and consequent, dulness or inertia. If you are disposed to find fault, to grumble at everything about you; if little things irritate you; if trifles upset you; if you go to pieces, so to speak, when anything goes Wrong in your business, you may be pretty sure that there is some enemy at Work in your system, that your enâ€" engy is being exhausted in some way, and that your vitality is at a low ebb. Irritability Caused by an Ex- hausted Nervous System. One of the rose treatments is through the eyes, for the nervous man or womanâ€"people who cannot endure the sight of blood, who canâ€" not see sufTering, whom an injured animal will unnerve for a. day. Unâ€" cleanliness and disorder that strike upon the sight act upon them as though they had had a fit of sickâ€" ness. An unhappy combination of color will frequently afi‘ect the nerves and produce a headache. When people are as sensitive as this they can be cured by the color treatment, and this Color cure is now actively in operation in many places. When undergoing; a severe nervous strain it is a good plan to take a rose and hold it to the nostrils ; breathe deeply of the scent. The best rose is the garden rose, as it retains its red rose scent Withâ€" out having lost anything by being cultivated. ' The rose curist asserts that if the scent is inhaled directly from the Very heart of the flower it is more beneficial to the patient than though it were inhaled at long distance through an essence or an extract. There are different ways of adminisâ€" tering the rose medicine. The paâ€" tient can make a pillow of roses ; on this she should lay her head, taking care that half a dozen of the blooms are so arranged that they point toward the face. In this atâ€" titude her nose and month are buried in their sweetness. The idea is to go to sleep on a. bed of roses ; when you Wake up your headache will be cured. THE SWEE/I‘I'ZR THE ROSE the better, [or the sweetness of this flower is of such Reculiar delicacy that it neither cloys upon the nos- trils nor palls upon the senses. Other flowers with heavy scent make one languid. But the rose is invigorat- ing; and it is known now that the concentrated roseâ€",that is, the nu- tural smell as obtained from roses in great, quantitiesâ€"Will certainly act upon the person as though he or she had been fanned by a breeze. The vinaigrette and the little smelling-bottle of all kinds are filled with a salts or a powder of sweet- smelling odor based upon medicinal properties, and there is no doubt that a few whin's will help a headâ€" ache and sometimes completely cure it. And now roses are advocated for many of the aches and pains of life which frequently arise from over- wrought or disordered n'erves. It has been discovered that the rose. Will cure a headache. Its per- fume acts as a medicine upon the nerves. Its colorâ€"particularly if deep redâ€"soothes the senses through the eyes. and its cleanliness and medicinal properties generally act upon the system not only as a cura- tive. but as a tonic.

It is well known that the fakirs of India and the medicine men of the wild tribes of all countries work by means of perfumes and herbs. DEP.‘ LETED ENERGY Lieuti-Gen. Sir Arthur Gnsclee, who commanded the Allies in the march to Pckin, Was a Licut.â€"Col- onel on the corps at the time; many of the British leaders in Souih Af- risz were Lieut.â€"Colonels or Majors on its roster. Capt. Younghusband, who did some good Work as an exâ€" plorer and fighter among the hillâ€" men, is one of the corps. Some curious experiences are re- ported from Italy as to the eh‘ect of colors on the nerves of the sick and insane. In the hospital for the in- sane at Alcssandria special rooms are arranged with red or blue glass in the windows, and also red and blue paint. on the Walls. A violent patient is suddenly brought into a blue room and left. to the effects of that, color on his nerves. One maniac Was cured in an hour ; an- other was at peace in his mind after passing a day in a room of violet. The red room is used for the comâ€" monest, form of dementiaâ€"melanâ€" cholyâ€"usually accompanied by a I‘LL iusal to take food. After three hours in the red room a patient in this way began to be cheerful and ask for food. 1 The corps, under its regulations, has during the last forty years proâ€" vided for the Indian Government a body of men of military education who are familiar with the manners. customs and languages of oriental populations, and perform the imâ€" portant services of commanding the native troops and of conducting the relations with neighboring countries. Jo‘lm Chinn, in Kipling’s "Tomb of his Ancestors," belonged to the 111- di‘an Staff Corps; so probably (lid Strickland, who has appeared for an instant in several of Kipling’s storâ€" ies, as did "Stalky," and others of Officers in the second division are practically civilians, for they never return to service with troops, though they have The Indian Stall Corps consists of two elements, the military and the civil. The first includes all officers holvding strictly military appoint- ments, either With“ regiments or in the military departments of the Gov- ernment; the second, as suggested above, includes all serving; as Comâ€" missionaicsr, deputies, Residents, po- lice ohiefs, mud in some cases; as Magistrates. To compensate him for his enforcâ€" ed life in India, an officer who can put "I.S.C." after his name gets betâ€" ter pay, longer leaves and larger pension on retirement than those given to Brihish officers. The pen- sion is nearly double that of an offi- cer of his rank in the Royal Army, and he receives higher pay when acting in a grade higher than his own. ' Once in the Indian Staff Corps. an officer must spend the rest of his ac- tive life in it. This rule is intendâ€" ed to maintain the established perâ€" sonnel and to preserve the tradi- tions of the service. These will be disturbed by the Vicei‘oy's announceâ€" ment. at the Military College at, Santi- hurst. After they have had their chance, appointments are allotted in the order of merit to cadets who compete ' for them. King’s cadets are generally the sons of officers, who could not allord to pay the high fees charged at. the military colleges. Promotion depends Very largely on an officer's- acquiring naâ€" tive languages, along,r with proving his efficiency as a commander of troops. Appointments to the Indian Staff Corps have been hard to get.

In this’manner he found that 200 grams (about half a pound) of the fruits exzunixted supported up- on their surface bacteria. in the folâ€" lowing numbers: Huckleberries, 400.000; dumsons. 470,000; mirâ€" abels (yellow plums), 700,000; pears, 800,000; gooseberries, 1,000,â€" 000: garden strawberries, 2,000,000; raspberries, 4,000,000; grapes, 8,â€" 000,000; currants, 11,000,000; and chelries, 12,000,000. These figures teach how necessary it is that all fruit should be cleaned before it is eaten. In view of "his experiments, Dr. Ehrlich recom- mends that before fruit is eaten it should always be thomughly Washed, preferably in running water, and that the Washing should he repeated when dry matter is observed to be adhering to the fruit. given full vitalizes body. and It is strange how few people really know how to relax, to lot the bed hold them instead of vainly trying to hold up the bed.

Relax, drop the sudject from your mind, and you will reach In the condition in which it is placed upon the market, the surface of fruit is almost always unclean; on the surface millions of microâ€" scopic creatures exist. It has alâ€" ready been p-roven that in certain cases cholera, typhus, an-d tuber- culosis have been transmitted, in this way. The danger can be partially obviated by peeling or washing the fruit STARTLTNG FIG URES OBTAINED It has been known that vegetables could be held responsible for the transmission of much sickness, aet- ing as vehicles for the germs of disâ€" ease, indeed, there have been cases where epidemics have been traced to the vegetables, but, much of the (lanâ€" ger of this was neutralized by the cooking of the food. However, that fruit, which usaally is eaten practically in its original state, holds so great a. peril is a more serâ€" ious matter. Few are in the habit of washing fruit, and still fewer remove the skins or feel. Thus the bacteria, has every possible chance to enter the system and do his deadly Work. MILLIONS OF BACTERIA. But, that, half a pound of cherries should be carrying around 12,000,- 000 bacteria, each one of which may be aiming to destroy your life, with a. good chance of succeeding, is a. bit. of startling information. "Wash all fruit thoroughly," says Dr. Ehrlich, and it may come that we will have to add this warning to its present "Boil the water." The variety of diseases that can he carried along in this manner is surprising, but, the most. fatal plagues are classed in the list. This startling state of affairs is laid before the public in a. report. re- cently issued by Dr. B. Ehrlich, a. physician of Strusshung, Germany, Who has just concluded a. series of experiments at the Institute of Hyâ€" giene and Bacteriology in the uni- versity of that city. That, the infection of fruit with bacteria. to such an extent as the re- port of Dr. Ehrlich shows will be a. general surprise even in these days, when We are suspicious of the water, the public drinking cup. and prac- tically everything we come in con- tact with.

The East End postmark is a pre- dominant feature ; there are many poor people, who, alas ! fondly be- lieve the King can redress their grievances and mitigate their Woes by a Wave of his hand.

Usually the channel of relief is one of the philanthropic societies, of which his Majesty is either a patron or interested in, to whose office the deserving letter is privately for- warded. USE FOR TELEGRAPH LINES. A man hopelesst lost in the bush in South Australia. after Wandering about for four days. came upon a telegraph line between Adelaide and Port Darwin. He hadn’t strength to All sorts and conditions of people Write to lthe King. Many of the en- velopes bear no stamps, as if Buck- ingham Palace were a government ofiice, and some are boldly addressed in a. pencil scrawl. This much can be truthfully said : The greatest courtesy and delicacy have always characterized his Maâ€" jesty’s public correspondence, and many instances could be quoted where his secretary has gone out of his way to explain at length the King’s objection to some applica- tion, or his Majesty’s reluctance at being unable to comply with some request. Since the new reign began the typewriter has been introduced in the palace, and many replies, for- mal and otherwise, are now typed in violet ink. In the late reign the private secretaries were supposed to, and actually did, write every letter with their own pens, but when Ed- ward VII. ascended the throne a. modern change was quickly intro- duced, saving a. large amount of time and labor. It is surprisingâ€"and has often astonished those in receipt of re« pliesâ€"how rapidly an answer is de- spatched from the royal residence. Many a, time has a. correspondent whose letter has been received by Sir Francis Knollys by the first morning delivery, obtained a. reply the same night, intimating that the first missive has been “laid before the King." Many letters-those emanating from cranks, fuddists, and notorious beggars, those making impossible requests, and those of a. purely commercial characterâ€"are never submitted to his Majesty, but are either ignored or stereotyped re- plies are sent, according to the subject of the letter. SOME ADDRESSED IN PENCIL. v.1 mugeu, on the envelope or coverâ€"- are opened by the secretaries. _and distributed in boxes, separately labelled, according to their nature and contents.
