ST. Yalentlna,s naI.

To-day is St. Valentines day, and
hundreds are celebrating tho day by
sending loving misives to their friends.
or by sending some missive intended
asa Joke, aud but few know why
such things are done on this day
more than any other. "a 10 an old
ideA, alleuded to by Shakespeare, that,
on the l4th of February, the birds
began to mate. Be this as II may,
II was an ancient custom for maids
and bachelors to convene together
on this day. Slips Of paper were
prepared, and the names of each one
present written upon them. Each
one drew and the person drawn was
no be his valentine for one year. 1t
WAS namsd st. Valentines day, long
after this custom was establ ishsd
by the church, thus giving it the
highest sanction Of those days. The
custom Of choosing dear friends or
lovers on this day has greatly degen. .
Grated, and the day is now looked
forward to principally as day when
they can send some comic reminder
TO friend or enemy, of some Of her
or his peculiarities. As this is leap
year, 1t is expected that ladies will
cxer Use their privilege and choose
their valentine-not for a year, as
formerly-but for life.

SCHOOL BOOKS.
A Circular from the State Board
OF Education.

The State Board of Education hes
issued the following circular to the
teachers and school officers of the
State.
The matter of the proposed chang.
es in the Text Books at present used
Ia the public schools of the State, es-
pecislly as regards the readers aud
arithmetics, has been examined by
the State Board of Education with
the utmost care in all its bearings.
II Is not to be denied that some of
the books that we have considered
are superior to those of similar kind
now In use; but we have been unable
to devise any plan for the introduce
tion of new books that will not sub
ject parents to such additional ex-
pense 40 they seem hardly able to
afford owing to the present depressed
condition of business affairs through
out the State. III e. ~
We feel confident, moreover, that
our efficient corps Of teachers will
employ successfully in the future
the readers snd srithm ctics that they
have proftably used during the last
tour years, and that they will cheer.
fully await the arrival Of more
suspicious season for making the
changes desired.
10 order to bridge over the gap be.
tween the small and large srithme-
tics Of Robinson's series, of which
some teachers complain, we have
recommended Robinson's Rudimeuts,
which may be used together with
the other two books Of the series, OF
to the exclusion of the fret boDk, OF
not at all, as may be deemed best in
lthe discretion of the teacher.
The rudiments will be retaiied by
.dsaicrs at 35 cents per copy TIE
frat book of Robinson's series will
be retailed hereafter ut 40 cents, and
the complete arithmetic at 81 Is
reduction on the former of 10 cents,
and on the latter of 90 cents. 1t will
be understood that no books have
been readopted, and the text books
now in use In the public schools will
be retained until otherwise ordered
by the Board.

A Mean Act.

Tuesday evening, about 8 o'clock
Joe Munckton's dog, Jack was pois.
oned. Joe had turned the dog out
as he was In the habit Of doing
every night at that time, and it Ion
the house. When It returned Mr..
Munckton thought 1t acted some.
what strange, but paid no further at
tentlon to him until he showed symp.
toms Of having been poisoned, when
remedies were speedily administered
but to no pun pose. Joe Is much
grieved over the loss OF his favorite,
and offers reward Of 500 for the
apprehension OF the poisoner. 1t was
mean action on the part Of the
guilty party, as the dog was never
known TO modest anyone.

ALTOONA.
A Promising Field for Capital
Some OF the Principal Mines.


The "Cactus Territory" Is one OF
the oldest settled and best prospec-
ted territories In the country. For
more than two hundred years, white
people have settled IN Arizona, and
yet, to-day but little is known of its
prospects. The Southern Pacific
Railroad is now nearly to Tucson,
and Ia already doing much TO help
develop the county. Arizona is
noted chiefly for its mineral wealth.
Many mines are being successfully
worked, while many more claims
might be with little capital. The
Silver King and Stonewall Jackson
are too we'll known to need comment,
but many others are entirely un.
known. Globe District, about 90
miles north Of Tucson, shows an ex.
cellent prospect. About twenty
mines are taking out ore which pays
their expenses, and more, while they
have to pay t45 per ton to have 1t
worked. But little ore which mills
less than 800 per ton is worked; and
the waste dumps themselves will be
fortune when capital comes in aud
ore can be worked at reasonable
prices.
Besides the mining land, Arizona
has good farming and grazing land
notably so along the Guila river.
This land is mostly taken up by Mex
leans who food Arizona in great
mum bers.
In the eastern part Of Arizona are
located the celebrated Clifton mines,
which are capable of supplying the
entire United States with copper.
The Shakespear mines are also prom.
Using we'll, and SO are others at Tomb
stone and various other parts. Taking
1t as 9 whole. Arizona certainly ap-
pears to have a promising future
ahead. 1t has been self.sustained so
far, but capital Is now needed and
earnestly looked for 10y the inhabi-
tants and no Geld furnishes q more
promising return for capital than
does the Cactus Territory.
