AZTEC CORN.

Ee,urrccted After Thousand Xears.
 The season for snake stories having passed, the PhRuIx Gazette, of Thurs day last, gives us a "desdener" on pre- historic corn; it IS as follows;
 Adisc0very of the seed of the food producing plant of the prehistoric peo- pie W ho inhabited thIs country many thousand years ago, was made in a ruin on upper Salt River, above the mouth of the IOuto, over three years ago, of which DO mention has heretofore been made The facts, as learned from Mr. C.emon T. Shawver, are as follows: In the early part of 1880 William Wal bridge determined to open sn old ruin that had attracted attention since the first settlement of the country. At a depth of three feet he came upon an oila-iGg, l. c., an ola with very small neck with an openlng in the top about three inches in diameter, that held about three gallons. The opening was sealed with a closely fitting earthern cover which was cemented with a gum that made it air-tight. Upon removing this cover the oIla-iug was found filled with tNLl NAlIl tuA4AG btAA un AANan i@e AAANAh -- but inst harvested. Mr. Walbridge, in passing through Phoenix shortly after, on his way to California, visited Mr. Shaver and presented him with few grains of corn, which were planted. Much to 1ir. Shawver's surprise, 1t grew, and iu six weeks from the time of its coming up he had the pleasure of gath ering roasting ears. Every year since then Mr. Shaver has raised few hills for table use. The stalks do nrt grow over three to three and a-half feet high, but bear profusely, the ears setting from near the ground to near the top. lt -uckers or stools out more than ordinary corn, every stalk bearing an ear. It Is a small, deep red, flint corn, with tia,ish oval kernels. Mir Shaver considers II a valua0le addition to the maize of the country, both on account Of its product iveness and early maturity. Two or three crops can be readily grown ID the season. which fact will, probably, ac- count for the dense population of which the evidences are so abundant through ont the salt and Gala valleys.

Mr.. Gladxtone,s Tree-Pellinp.

l see that Mr. Gladstone was troubled
recently with lumbago. owing to having
caught cold when telling tree on wet
day His family really ought to inter-
fere to prevent his exposing himself to
such very useless risks. He is 70 years
old A man of that age may be strong
and hearty, but his constitution cannot
be what it was, and does not throw oft
easily any ailment. 1t is customary to
protest against Mr.. Gladstone overwork-
ing himself in the House of Commons.
I doubt whether it does him any harm
to sit there as many hours as he pleases;
and that to sit there many hours does
please him is unquestionable, for, so far
as the business of the House is con-
cerned. he might be there half the time
that he is; while, if he would assume the
deus en- naachiaaa, after the habit of Mr..
Disraeli. and only interfere with a Quos
ego, instead of allowing himself to be
drawn into speech half dozen times
in an evening, matters would 90 good
deal smoother than they do. But fell
ing trees in wet weather at Hawarden
is very different thing to talking in a
warm chamber in London, and Mr.
Gladstone's life is far too valuable for
him to be allowed to play pranks Let
him leave the trees alone and apply the
axe to abuses. Any woodman can proba-
bly, cut down tree at least as well as
he can, while no statesman can ply the
axe so effectively in the jungle of abuses.

Couldn't Understand It,

Last week a commission house which
does bushes on the Board of Trade for
country dealers, received visit from a
large stranger with highly iniamed
nose and otherwise decidedly sensational
aspect.
You bought some oats for me-a
thousand bushels, didn't yer?''
eff your name is began the head
of the firm.
Potts, yes, sir. Potipher Potts, of
Pottsville, Pott county. You wrote me
on circular that SO would buy a
thousand bushels of oats and | sent YOU
the money"
Yes" replied the commission man.
s'Well, | want the oats''
1.-THE oats have been sold, and there
is profit of fifty dollars to your credit
on our books"
sold! you sold my oats! What in
thunder did you do that for? Who told
you to sell my oats?"
You know you didn't have any oats
in reality. The SO you sent us was
merely for margins. If oats had de-
clined IA price you would have lost your
money"
''See here, if I understand this mat
ter, you bought me thousand bushels
OF oats for SO, That's what you said
you would do, and they're worth now
something like $500 or $500, and by
the great horned jumping spoon I want
'em, and | want 'em bad"
This conversation occurred early in
the morning, and it took nearly all day
to force the fifty dollars on Mr.. Potts
and get him out of the Office Cheek.

About Canary Birds,

The cost of keeping canary birds is
seldom thought of. The canary is the
pet bird of the rich and poor; it is ev-
erywhere, and its keeping involves an
immense amount of money in the ag-
gregate. A gentleman who has for
several years been extensively engaged
IN the trade of bird-seed, and who is
excellent authority, informs us that he
has the statistics to prove that there
are now fully 100000 of these pets
in this country. Each bird will use
twelve pounds of seed per year, if not
overfed, and unfortunately for them,
they generally get too much. Thus it
takes 16S, 100000 pounds of seed to feed
them through year, worth at least
S14,000,000. Besides this seed, as any
one knows, is the sugar, the crackers,
the eggs and the thousand and one
things that different keepers supply
them with.
Again, we have a great expense in
cages. There are now TWENTY-FIVE man
ufactories of bird cages in the United
States. One of the most extensive of
them turned out S1,000,0OO worth of
cages last year, and will this year add
largely to the amount. The whole cost
of cages made last year is estimated at
nearly S3,O00,OO0. This gives for the
two items of seed and cages the snug
little sum of 81, 900, 900.
But, after all, is the bird not worth
all the people pay for its keeping? How
it instills into the children a love of mu-
sic; and its examples of cleanliness as it
takes its regular morning bath is bene-
fetal in the extreme. 1t thus adds
beauty, music and instruction to all our
homes

A Feminine Trait.

A mans foes are those of his own
household, and the keenest enemies of
women are women themselves. No one
can infiict such humiliation on q woman
as a woman can when she chooses; for
if the art of high-handed snubbing be-
longs to men, that of subtle wounding
is peculiarly feminine, and is practiced
by the best bred of the sex. Women are
always more or less antagonistic to each
other. They are gregarious in fashion
and cumulative in follies, but they cannot
combine; they never support their weak
sisters; they shrink from those who are
stronger than the average; and if they
would speak the truth boldly, they
would confess to a radical contempt fol
each others intellect, which perhaps is
the real reason why the sect of the fem
ancipated" commands so small fol.
lowing. Half q dozen men advocating
emancipation doctrines would do
more toward leavening the whole bulk
of womankind than any number of first
class women. Where they do stand by
each other it is from instructive or per
sonal affection rather from class solid
arity. And this is one of the most
striking distinctions of the sex, and one
cause among others why men have the
upper hand, and why they are able to
keen it.

Why Stoves Are Used in Cars,

The railway men continue to heat
their cars with stoves and to light them
with kerosene lamps, because the public
is at ordinary times perfectly satisfied
with stoves and lamps. says the New
York Times. Mr.. Vanderbilt once tried
the experiment of lighting his cars with
candles, but the travelling public abused
him for his alleged parsimony, and de-
manded 10 have the kerosene lamps put
back. Of course, when a carload of
passengers has been roasted by an up
set stove, the railway companies are
violently abused for heating their cars
with stoves, but a month after the trag-
edy is over the public is again perfectly
satisfied with the stoves. A coal-stove
heats car to that unbearable degree of
heat that the travelling American citizen
demands. No other method of heating
would satisfy him, for without the sight
of a red-hot stove he could not be con-
WINGED that he was comfortably warm.
Were the stoves to be taken out, and
the cars to be heated either with steam
from the locomotive or with hot water,
the majority of passengers would
grumble. They would insist that they
were not warm enough, and that the
company was too parsimonious to pro-
vide its cars with stoves. OF course, in
time, even the grumblers would become
convinced that they could be comforta-
bic without soaring their eyeballs by
gazing on a red-hot stove, but the re-
moval of the stoves would at first be a
very unpopular measure. The railway
companies, know this, and they natur-
ally continue to heat their cars with
stoves. They are far too intelligent to
confound temporary cutlery made by
the press just after the occurrence of a
railway accident with the real wishes of
American railway travellers.
