some Points Probably Overlooked by the
 Architect Of the UnIverse---Time For
 Reform.
 If people did not have something to grumble at and lay the cause of all their woes t. the doors of the great architect of the universe would have left incom- plete the work of creation. The weather Is universally the most proliie and inno cent cause of grumbling, and yet what would this little seyen-by-nIne life be worth without any weather at all ? Just consider the perpetual monotony of a fixed state of meteorological conditions for few moments, and ten to one you will shudder at the thought. The thin, emaciated and bloodless dyspeptic IS de- lighted with warm weather, wbile the
 perspiring human Jumbo cOvets the se- clnsiOn ot the ice house. and there are
 ten thousand one hundred an thirty
 nine different ideas of perfect weather.
 In Tucson there is something of a
 monotonous state Of weather during the
 summer months, yet there are daily
 changes aimust imperceptlble which
 bring freshness to the weary and new
 ene-gy c. the iniOlent, only the latter
 class predomina;es so greatly that they
 are kept perpetually upon half ratjons
 Of energy.
 In the utter and dinconceivable absence
 of all weather, the question IS asked Tn
 all soberness, what excuse would the
 poor, aching and thirsty mortal have to
 offer when he leans his bloated paunch
 up against the bar and calls for ''the
 sames' He couldn't force shiver and
 say he had caught a cold, or yawn and
 zane and stretch, and wonder how long
 his fever will last. He would have no
 wet feet tO signal disease, but would be compelled to tell the truth for once and
 say that he drank because he liked the poison.
 There is one idea which it might be ! claimed rhlt Providence overlooked in the creation of things, but perhaps there may be tenable grounds cf ob- ! faction to it, even though the world was made SD macy years before civilization began and the people became so intense ] ly wise. This idea is that every crea- ! tu-e might be created with a consenial atmosphere Of his own like a halo about . him. This does not infringe upon the | existing fact that some persons are even now provided with a peculiar atmos- nhere ahoTt them, suggestive Of decay, 1 for even such people are subject to the ! lrti1ance of the general meteorological | conditions. and their personal flavor of ran cccupies more surrounding space ! than is contemplated by the idea above ] suggested.
 Now. for instance, ;he full blooded, lymphatic man should be surrounded l with a congenial forty-fve degrees | atmosphere, with an umbrella shaped cloud above him to intercept the suns rays; while the victim of pulmonary l disease should have a cylindrical wrap ping of warm. dry air, full of ozone and ] electricity. The reader will under
 stand the idea, and surely there must 1 he something left for the imagination to ! feed npon.
 Now, notwithstanding having made public this improvement upon creation, | for which a caveat has been duly filed | m the patent office at Washington, there l IS grave objection to the plan Instance two lovers hanging on the ] front gate. time. when the moon has nearly disappeared behind the Tucson l range of mountains. and the old folks | have gotten up a snoring contest and 1 tie resonant sounds are waited ont l from the open window with the ! regularity of the pulsations of mighty | cnrliss sixty horse power englne.

 veto any legislation by the City Council changing his plans of running the
 weather, even thongh a special tax be
