Gastrono,nic Possibllities.

There is one aspect Of the question which is
OF such extreme Importance that it should
have received attention long ago. II is pos
Nole to combine vegetable and animal flavorS,
and thus produce an infinite variety Of new
havorS. / do not refer to the combinations
made In the Kitchens in Stews and vegetable
soups-but 20 far moro subtle and delicious
combinations in the living animal. 1t Is well
known that many birds and beasts are un-
palatable at certain times Of the year owing
% the food they eat. On the other hand. it
Is proved that the canvasback duck, the
most delicious morsel known 20 mortal pala.e.
owes its exquisite aroma entirely 10 the so
called wild celery on which It feeds in the
Chesapeake bay; for il the same bird is killed
IN the state Of New York or in New jersey
its flavor is not superior to that OF other
ducks. Again, the flavor Of Congo chickens
Is described by an African tourist as being Of
peculiar excellence, and he adds that these
chickens are fed almost exclusively on pine
apples
Why should not the principle here involved
DO applied in a systematic mannerl By rear
Ing poultry and other animals on food Of a
special fragrance this quality might be i'm.

certain winegrowels, might make fortunes by
securing an international reputation for the
excellence OF their special brands" Such
original nuances Of favor would not only de-
light the epicures, but stimulate anew the

weapon IN combating the most prevalent Of

THE DAYS OF GIANTS.
No Important Difference in the Size OF

No Important Difference in the Size OF
Primitive aud Modern Mon.
An opinion was current, in the last century,
that our ancestors, at some time in the past,
were the equals or superiors in size Of the
largest men now 70 be found. NJ. Henrion
presented 70 the Academic DIES Inscriptions,
In 171S, memoir ON the variations in the
size OF man from the beginning Of the world
TIL the Christian era, in which Adam was
given 123 feet inches and Eve us feet 9s1
inches But after the first pair the human
race, in bis imagination, suffered regular
decrease, so that Noah was only 100 feet high,
while Abraham shrank down to IS feet,
Moses to Is feet, the mighty Hercules to 10
feet 81 inches and Alexander the Great to a
bare CT feet The communication, It is said,
was received with enthusiasm and was re-
garded, at the time, as a wonderful dis
coveryr and sublime vision"
The complaint about the degeneracy Of the
human race is not new, but dates as far back
rs the time Of Homer, at least; for the men OF
his day were not Ike the heroes Of whom no
sang. II is not confirmed, but cOntradicted,
by all the tangible facts, and these are not a
few. Human remains that are exhumed,
after having reposed in the grave for many
centuries, as in the catacombS OF Paris, have
nothing gigantic about them The armor,
the cuirasSes and the caSques OF the warriors
ofthe middle ages can DO worn by modern
soldiers, and many OF tho knights suits
would DO too small for the euiraSsiers Of the
European armies; yet they were worn by the
selected men, who were better fed, stronger
and moro robust than the rest Of the popula-
ton The bones OF the ancient Gauls, which
are uncovered IN the excavations OF tumui,
while they are Of large dimensions, are com.
parable with those OF the existing populations
OF many places in France.
The Egyptian mummieS are the remains Of
persons Of small or medium stature, as are
also the Peruvian and Mexican mummies and
the mumInies and bones found in the ancient
monuments Of India and Persia. And even
the most ancient relics we possess OF individ-
uals Of the human species, the bones Of men
who lived In the tertiary period, an epoch
the remote antiquity Of which goes back for
hundreds OF centuries, do not show any i'm
portant differences in the sizes of the print
tive and Of the modern man.-Popular

ROBBERY AT TONTe.

A correspondent, writing from Ton to, says: There is considerable excite ment here, and it looks as if a worse war will be started than last year. A week ago two men came and robbed Watkins store of quite large lot of merchandise. They were followed by Capt. Watkins and sons, and pushed so closely they cached the goods and abandoned three horses. Watkins took the horses and saddles, which proved to be the property of Tom Gra- ham of Pleasant Valley. Watkins then got an officer and, with 27 of the best citizens of the Basin, took the trall of the men, and it having ralned just before the robbery, followed the trall direct to the Graham ranch. This party finally induced the insiders to surrender, but not before the robbers had got away. The posse laid in wait some time, and the two robbers think ing the coast clear came in for grub, but by an untimely noise the robbers again managed to escape. Watkins party claim to know the robbers well, and named Waddell and Dickerson- the former being known as Tom Ora hams foreman. The people here are aroused and determined to put stop to such work.

Dr. Anderson, of San Carlos, gave u, the result of the trial of three Indians, in Tucson, recently, which illustrates the stupidity and perversity of juries in this Western country. The Indians were tried for the murder of companion. The one who gave the victim his quietus was found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to confinement in the Chester, Illinois, penitentiary for ten years, while his two acconplices, who held the poor devil until the other procured gun and killed him, were acquitted!

A SALT RIVER SHOOTING sCRAPE.

Dave Freeman arrived in haste from
 Salt river, on Saturday evening last
 to announce a serious shooting affray
 which occurred that afternoon at the
 saloon of Wm. Beard, in which all the
 participants, Bob Pringle, Cap Adams
 and John Rhodes were wounded.
 Adams was the most seriously hurt of
 the three, being shot through the
 right lung, the ball coming out at the
 back, below the shoulder blade, and
 the same shot IS supposed to have been
 the one that struck Pringle just below
 the left corner of the mouth, making
 an ugly but not dangerous wound.
 A piece of blue woolen cloth cores
 bonding to the shirt worn by Adams
 was taken from the wound. Pringle
 was able to get on his horse and come
 up as far as Wheat6eldS the same evening, and the following morning to Globe Dr. Anderson who was called from San Carlos to examine and dress the wound. on his arrival found Pringles face so badly swollen that he deferred a critical examination until Wednesday when the lnfama- tion and swelling had abated, and it was thought that the ball, which had previously been located in the throat under the jaw, could be easily ex- tracted, but 1t had disappeared and the efforts of Dr. Anderson and Dr. Stark to find it were unavailing, and | they decided on Thursday to postpone further probing.
 Dr. Stark went to the river to at- tend Adams, and after dressing the wound returned on Sunday. He pro- nouuced Adams injury dangerous, but not necessarily fatal. Reports re- ceived from the river during the past few days are that Adams is doing as well as could be expected, and is like ly to recover.
 Rhodes who fired the short that did such execution, IS said to have been wounded in the hand from shot fired by Adams. The two shots must have been fired simultaneously, as persons present and in the vicinity were under the impression that only one shot had been fired. Ed Tewksbury is said to nave been present and witnessed the affair, and Frank Montgomery who was tending bar at the time was near oy, but, we are informed, claims that le did not witness the row. In fact 10 clear statement of the cause of the can be obtained. Rhodes gave his pistol up to Tewksbury and announced his willingness to go with i'm to Globe and give himself up. Upon reaching Wheatfelds, however, le apparently changed his mInd; 'eaching over he took his pistol from rewksbury's belt, and shortly after wards disappeared. Deputy Sheriff Frank Hammon went as far as the f cene of the shooting in quest of T Rhodes. but failed to find him.

Complaints are general of light cali crop this spring, owing no doubt to the scarcity of feed last season and conse- quent poor condition cf cattle. The present season is the most favorable in many years in Central Arizona; grass never was better and water abundant. A very large increase is therefore expect ed next fall.

Bert Young, experimenting the de. velopment of the Comet mine, showed us number of specimens from the strike made, on Wednesday, in the cross-cut that had just been started from the bottom of the shaft, at a depth of 136 feet. The ore is high grade, showing horn silver and black sulphurets, and the strike is consid- cred important, proving the contin- uance of the Ore-body to that depth the last ore having been stopped at a depth of only 40 feet. The extent of the recent strike had not been deter mined when Mr. Young left the mine, but he feels greatly encouraged. The
 Comet is considered by conservative
 miners to be very valuable property.
