A gray haze that never lifts tnakea everything indistinct and puzzling to the view. No vegetation Is to be seen save a very scanty sagebrush, with leaves that arc not green, but gray, and here and there a sort of cactus that grows to live or six feet in height, with extended branches. It is called the "dead man" because In the night each staik looks like a corpse by the way side.

But the supreme horror of the place Is the heat, which Is unspeakable. There is a breeze, but it Is so scorching hot as to blister your face. Streams flow from springs down toward the I valley, but never reach it. because the heat dries them up on the way.—Satur­day Evening Post.

There is not the slightest cause for fear or anxiety at this period if Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is used. It gives health of body and cheerfulnest of mind, and by its aid the pains aud pangs of this critical period axe pre­vented or cured.

Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is woman's medicine with a wonderful record of cures of womanly diseases. Diseases that all other medicines had failed to cure, have been perfectly and permanently cured by the use of "Fa­vorite Prescription."

George B Cyrtelyou of New York, who. it has been taken for granted, is to be the tirst secretary of the depart­ment of commerce, is now the secretary to the president. In making this ap­pointment the president would gam an efficient member of his cabinet, but would lose an admirable secretary.

As secretary of commerce Mr. Cortel-you would be the second secretary to a president to enter the cabinet, and he would be the first man to be promoted to the cabinet from the classilied civil service. Daniel S. Lamont was private secretary to the president duriug Cleve­land's hrst term and secretary of war, during his second term. During ittJ Cleveland's second term in November. 1S9.", Mr. Cortelyou. who was then pri­vate secretary to the fourth assistant postmaster general, was appointed s tenographer to the president-

Mr. Cortelyou was appointed assist­ant secretary to President McKinley in 15US and advanced to the post of sec­retary In 1W0, al though for a year previous he bad practically performed the duties of that office because of the illness of Secretary Porter. When President Roosevelt succeeded McKin­ley. he retained Mr. Cortelyou in office.

Throughout his association with the Whi t e House Secretary Cortelyou has discharged his delicate duties with tact and Judgment, l i e has been consulted a s frequently and us confidentially as. If be were a n u m b e r of the cabinet upon public affairs and the policies of the administration. The confidence ex­tended to him by McKinley has been emphasized by the present chief execu­tive.

Secretary Cortelyou is a native of New York city. D> is a graduate of Georgetown university and uf the Co-Imubian university law school In 18isS he was married to the daughter of Dr. Hinds, president of the Hempstead (N. Y.) institute. He is in his forty-third year.
