but it gave no clue and our search was in
vain. However, while bordering us to the
probable names which would grace the
immediate succeeding blanks of the record,
our thoughts were riveted with prophetic
Immortality on the we'll known profiles
OF four of our young, handsome and popu-
lar bachelors. Yes, it is a fact, perhaps
four, certainly three Of our young men are
contemplating taking this important step,
and while it will make large gap in the
numerous and constantly increasing army
of bachelors, yet they will prove valued
and acceptable addition to the ranks Of the
benedicts.
PROTECT THE TowN.-It is high time
that the village was protected from any
possible danger from prairie fires, and we
would suggest that the authorities or the
business men of the village take immedi-
ale steps to back fire around the outskirts.
Every business house in town will send
one or two men for the ''bucket brigade
and if Mayor Teele or the marshal will
superintei the work, and notify the peo
pie of the hour of burning, there will be
enough ready hands 10 make short job
of it. There is dangerous spot in aud
about the park and should fire creep in and
among the dense heavy growth of weeds
in that locality there would be serious
trouble to protect adjacent buildings, to
say nothing of the calamity of having the
fine grove of trees destroyed. Another
suggestion in this connection may be time.
ly: There is large accumulation of old
dry hay and rubbish in and about the
various lumber sheds, and unless this is
removed a spark from locomotive or
from some other source may cause US Sc.
rious trouble.
The RAILROADS Rapid progress has
ben made on the construction Of the two
new lines Of railroad during the recent
period of extremely favorable weather.

There is no question ss TO the
large area Of rich placers In ArIzo-
na. They are found in all sections
of the Territory, especially south of
the Gila. The placers of the c. fl \.
da del Oro and Santa Ritas have
been known for years, and much
gold has been. I'd ken from them by
the primitive processes employed
by the natives. The Santa Rltas
for the past eight years have pro.
duced many thousands of dollars.
Some estimate the yield at notl less
than 100000. We have seen
many n1ggets valued at over
$1,000 In 1875 the house OF Lord
& Williams purchased nugget
from these diggings valued at over
500. The lack of water has rem.
: dsred impracticable the successful
workings OF the placers, except dur
ing the rainy season; however, a
large number find they can ma ke
reasonable wages by packing water
on burros to their claims for the
purpose of washing out the gold
dust. ..,.-.

SODA FOR BURNs.-All kinds of
burns, including scalds and sHnburns,
are almost Immediately relieved by
the application of a solution OF soda
to the burnt surface. 1t must De re-
membered that dry soda will not do
unless it is surrounded with cloth
moist enough to dissolve it. This
method OF sprinkling It on and cover
ing it with wet cloth Is often the
very best. But it is suficint to wash
the ound repeatedly with a strong
solution. 1t would be well to keep
bottle of it always on hand, made so
strong that more or less settles on the
bottom. This is what is called satu-
rated solution, and really such solu-
tien as this Is formed when the dry
soda is sprinkled on and covered with
a moiste ned cloth. 1t Is thought by
some that the pain of burn Is caused
by the hardening of the albumen Of
the flesh which presses en- the nerves,
and that the soda dissolves the albu-
men and relieves the pressure. Others
think that the burn generates an acrId
acid, which the soda neGJralizes.

CARVING KNIFE ExECUTIoN.-Here
is my method Of beheading fowls:
Hold the bird in the right hand, by
the legs and tips of the wings; grasp
its neck with the left hand, close to
the body, and lay its head on the
block; let an assistant place carving
knife upon it's neck and give ita couple
of blows with a mallet; then slide the
left hand down toward the end of the
neck, and hold it with the left hand
until it ceases to struggle-not too
tightly, but so that 1t Will bleed tree
ly. The advantage of this method is
that it prevents the fowl from Topping
around and getting the feathers all
bloody and sOiled, and it can throw no
blood upon the operator.

Evers one knows that glass gives a
graver sound on being struck when
containing water than when empty.
The relations of this class Of pheno-
mena have been studied by M. Montig-
ny, who got eleven bells belonging to
the chime of an old clock and compar-
ed their tones when merely filled with
liquids, or when immersed In liquids,
with those they give in air. He tried
different liquids, viz: water, alcohol,
ether. and sulphide of carbon. He
found that, however the liquid was ap-
piled. the sound given in contact with
it was always graver than the natural; /;
that the lowering of tone was more
marked the denser the liquid (thus it
was less with ether than with suIphide
of car rbon); also more marked. what
ever the liquid, when the bell was com
plete1y Immersed than when it was
merely filled; and that, with either
mode of application, the lowering was
greater Tor grave than acute notes.
The additional tact that the lowering
of tone when bell is merely filled
with liquid and that which occurs
when, being empty, it is immersed in
the liquid up to Its lip, are exactly the
same, shows that the alteration is due
to the influence which that part of the
liquid in contact with the metal has on
the vibrations of the latter mot to say
metal and liquid forming vibrating
whole.) Further, the compressibility
of the liquid is a factor in the result.
Water is both less compressible and
more dense than alcohol and ether, and
it lowers the tone more. The result is
also affected by the form of the bell
and the elasticity and density of its
substance. 1t is obvious, lastly, that a
chime which presents a perfect gamut
In air no longer does so when in con-
tact with liquid.

A GooD AND CHEAP WHITEwAsH.-
Few people know how easily white
wash Is made and how valuable it is
when properly applied. 1t not only
prevents the decay of wood, bat Is
greatly conducive to the healthful-
ness OF buildings, whether wood or
stone. Out buildings and fences, when
not painted, should be supplied once
or twice a year with a good coat of
whitewash, which should be prepared
in the following way: Take clean,
water-tlght barrel or other suitable
cask, and put into it about halt a
bushel of lime; slack it by pouring
water over it, boiling hot, and put ia
q sufficient quantity of water TO cover
it five inches deep, and stir it brlskly
till thoroughly slackened; when the
slackening has been thoroughly effect
ed, dissolve it in water, and add two
pounds of sulphate of zinc and COM
Roll salt. These will cause the wash
TO harden, and prevent the cracking,
which gives an unseemly appearance
TO the work. If desirable, beautiful
cream color may be given to tne abOve e
wash By adding three pounds Of yell
low ochre; or good pearl by lead,
lamp, vine or ivy black. For lawn
color, add tour pounds Of umber, Turk
ish or Amerlean-the latter is the
cheapest-one pound of indian red,
one pound OF common Iampblack.

AN inquirer wants to know how to
grow rhubaro, or pie-plant. THIS Is
easy information to furnish. In fact.
rhubarb Is so readily grown and kept
growing in the same bed for so many
years, that no one who has evena mite
of a garden should be without little
bed OF it. 1t is really the "pie-plant, ="
as 1t is the first thing to grow in the
garden that 4 pie can be made OF, and
hence comes very acceptably. AS a
sauce, TOGO side-dish, 1t is excellent.
1t is easiest grown from the roots,
which all seed-stores have tor sale,
and it comes year earlier. Seed,
however, can be sown in the early
spring, and when once taken firm roet
thin cut to about three feet square. In
after years, when the stalks not cut
of for use show signs OF going to seed,
cut off the tops. We have small bed
that has supplied us year after year
without being disturbed, except to
cultivate among it, Tor some fifteen or
twenty years.
