The changes in the social ordinances
of Japan, proclaimed by Government
edict, have been numerous and startling.
Some will be matter of some conven-
ience to foreigners-the others chiefly
affect the various classes of the people.
The first Imperial order is that hence
forth the japanese calendar is to be har-
monized with foreign chronology. The
first day of January, 1873, will be the
first day of the first month of the 2533d
year from the accession of the first
Mikado; holiday is to be kept upon
every seventh day, instead of on every
fifth day, and at certain seasons, as here
tofore, and the division of the day will
henceforth be into twen}y-four hours,
instead of twelve periods of two hours
each, according to ancient custom.
The 25th of December (Chrismas Day.
is henceforth to be held sacred to the
memory of Zinmu Tenno-the first En-
peror of Japan.
japanese officials of rank are now re-
quired to wear an European official
costume, and to attend weekly levees, to
be held by the Mikado on and after New
Years Day. His Majesty has so far al
tered his mode of life astoreceive guests
at dinner every alternate day. The ban
quet is served and dressed in foreign
style politics are tobooed as a subject
for conversation, for which the ordinary
topics of the day are expected to suffice.

THE GROWTH or TWO COUNTRIES.
Since 1901 the French census has been
taken every fifth year, but the war pre-
vented it in 1871. 1t has recently been
taken, and it is found that the popula-
tion is 80, 102, ,92l, decrease of 366, ,935
since 1866. The causes of this are the
war, an unusual number of cases of
smallpox and the decline of the matri-
monial state in favor. In 100 the popu-
lation of France was 1860, 800. In
1862, when great care was taken in the
enumeration, the population was 81, 769,-
163. In 1901 it was 27, 7,349,0 900. In 1921,
in spite of the long wars, it had increased
to 30, 462, 900. The average annual in
crease of population in France from 1861
to 1866 was only 1856, 1856, or $50, 900 for
the five years.
This seems slow growth when com
pared with the progression exhibited in
our census tables. A hundred years ago
this country had about seventh of the
then population of France. Those three
millions have increased to forty, while
the twenty-five millions in France are
now but thirtyeight. Between 1861 and
1856, the Department of the Seine, in
which Paris is included, was the only
department where the population had
very materially increased. In these last
six years that department has fallen off.
War, the Commune, and opera bouffe
have done their work, and Paris exhibits
the result in her own fair person." the
city of pleasure aud of mischief"

The principal medical Office of the
United States marine hospital service
strongly condemns the course hitherto
pursued in this country and in Europe
of building hospitals of stone and iron
with a view of their durability, on the
ground that hospital buildings become
poisoned after several years use, and
cause unfavorable results in the treat
ment of diseases and injuries.

ACROSS THE ATLANTIC IN A BAL
LOON.

Reading, Pa, possesses among its
citizens one Prof. Donaldson, who has
successfully made, since last August,
twenty-four ascents in his balloon in
various parts of the South and West.
He has been up as high as three miles,
as indicated by his barometer, and, al
though many accidents have befallen
him, he has survived them all. Having
performed many daring exploits above
the clouds, he now proposes, as he told
reporter of Reading paper, to cross
the Atlantic the ensuing summer, avail
ing himself of the current of wind
which, it has been ascertained, blows
from west to east at distance OF say
two miles and half above the earth.
He expects to complete the trip of 1900
miles in something over two days. Three
balloons joined together, with boat, bal
last, provisions, and all the necessary
requirements, and with basket attached
to the balloon, will constitute his erial
trip. Previous to this grand venture he
will make voyage from st. Louis to
Boston.

OEhBAI, h' l., JhiiS A'j iD'"' To he Editor of Ghe ArisoHG Miner
 A terrible accident occurred here about 9 o'clock last night. The house of James Bo- ner was burned, and Mrs. Boner perished in the flames. How the fire started, is not yet fully explained, but it was caused, somehow, by kerosene lamp. Mrs. Boner lived about five hours after the accident. All her clothes were burned of, and she was literally char red from head to foot. No man was about the house when the fire started aud before any help could get there, the poor woman was burned beyond human aid to relieve. It was a shocking sight, as men were rushing to her relief, 10 see her standing on the brow of the hill, enyeloped in flames, surrounded by her terrified and screaming children. Her young est child was also badly burned. A deep gloom overspreads the community.
 Respectfully yours, W. J. BERRY.
 All we can, or need say, in addition to the foregoing, is to beg all our readers to beware of coal oil, and all other burning fluids or sub stances. Ladies, especially, who, with their light, fimsy and cOmbustIble clothing, have to work about tires and lamps, should be very careful, when doing so, and will do well to rec ollect the sad fate of poor Mrs. Boner.

BosH.-We find copied into the Denver Tribune. regular dime novel yarn concern ing the killing of the late Fred Loring, by the Apaches of this Territory. The yarn states that Mir. Loring had made himself very agreeable to Mobaye Indian named " Mai man," who, upon hearing of the murder of bis white friend, started into the Apache country, spied out the murherers and report ed bis success to General Crook, which officer caAed the Apaehes together and was singling out the rsurdeTers, when the Apaches "smelt mice," gave the customary war; hoop and sailed into the whites.
 Now, this latter part of the yarn is pretty true, bG: |; Is not true that ali uf tine indians who took part in the massacre of which Tor. ing was one of the victims were there killed nor is it true that the noble "Maiman ' played the part be is credited with. Irataba head chief of the Mohave tribe, was the chiei detective, and he acted by and with tue ad- vice of General Crook.
 Again, the account states how the pool Apaches were afterwards beaten in battle driven out of their reservation and obliged to take refuge upon the high, cold plateaus O the mountains, ,--fSS0Lats mesaS.-Pretty good this, bui sucA distorted, highly colored ac. count vlll sell better fifty or hundred yeau hence.

ExrRAs.-Haying found it losing game to print and distribute large extras, free of cost, our carrier has been instructed to sell said extras for 25 cents each, and from the success that has attended bis efforts in this direction, we are led to believe that the peo- pie of Prescott and vicinity want us tO issue extras whenever there happens to be impor- tant news, and, best of all, are willing to pay for them, so we will continue to do SO. not for the sake of making money, but for the sake Of giving our patrons the latest news at the earliest possible moment.
 Agents of the MINER in towns. villages etc, Tn other portions of the Territory, who receive extras by mail, need not be informed that 1t costs us something to print, do up and mail extras.
 Our great desire being to give our Territo- rial subscribers plenty of reading matter. the columns of the MINER will not be forced to give room to the extra matter published every Monday. In lieu thereof, said matter will be furnished on slips and mailed to them inside of the MINER every Saturday morn- ing, which arrangement will, we hope, please all present subscribers and bring us several new ones.
 California and Eastern subscribers will no of course, care for MIsER Extras, as most of the news contained in them will be derived from these points, SO we will not send extras to such subscribers.

TIMBER TITLE to GOVERNMENT LANDS Congress, at last session, passed an Act for the encouragement and growth on Western prairies." This Act provides that "Any person wbo shall plant and for continuous period d ten years shall protect and keep in healthy growing condition forty acres of timber tine trees thereon not being more than twelve feet apart each Yay) on . Gga.. ter section of any of the public lands of the United States, that are prairie lands or nat urally devoid of timber, shall be entitled to patent for the whole of said quarter section at the expiration of said ten years, provided that only one quarter of any one section shall be granted" Also, that any person who has made homestead entry on any public land m the regular way, may receive his pat ent at the end of three years, provided he then has had in cultivation for the two years next previous one acre in timber to eacL six teen acres claimed.
 The MINER has heretofore published the pith of inc above Act, but, believing that it's provisions cannot be too well known and un. defstood, we give itagain, with the hope that it will cause farmers and others in our Terri tory 10 set to work planting trees on quarter sections. Its meaning is very plain.

He also states that horse from the post had slrayed away, into herd belonging to Cachise's Indians, who drove the eslray back to his rghtiul owners. The Judge points to this as proof of the good intentions of the Indians. Poor proof.
