 About four years ago was attacked with what the physicians pronounced neuralgia rheumatism, accompanied with erysipelas. My appetite failed me entirely, ana | had an intcrmitting pulse and very irregular pulsations ufthC heart. 4 terrible pain soon came into my chest and shoulders, and 1 became so helpless that could attend to no business at all. The pains were movable, and would sometimes pass from one part ot my body to another. Finally the erysipelas broke out on my left hand and arm, and produced much swelling. l was for eighteen months afflicted in this way, and of coursr used great many kinds of medicines, but nothing gave me relief. Friends finally persuaded me to try Swift's Specific. l noticed a decided iIn- provement while taking the first bottle.

The irrigation problem was very cheaply solved, according to an agricultural exchange, by a well known Illinois berry grower who arranged a system of irrigation by sinking a well until he found a very strong flow of water. In this he put force pump, operated by wind power, which forces the wa ter through pipe to a reservoir nine hundred feet away and sixty feet higher than the well. The reservoir has a capacity of 53S,000 gallons, and is on the highest point of the farm. From it pipes lead through the strawberry, rasp- berry, blackberry and vegetable grounds. The pipes are provided with hydrants at intervals, and by attaching short hose to these hy- drants all parts of the ground can be easily irrigated. A boy walks through the grounds changing the position of the hose. The cost of the entire plant was only five hun dred dollars, and the owner thinks it worth five thousand dollars to him. With wind wheel, tower and force pump, costing one hnn- dred dollars, water can be forced from a well or spring to reser- voir half mlle away and two hun dred feet about the surface of the water in the well. The reservoir can be made simply of earth, by "puddling" the bottom and sides Such Q system of irrigation is prac- tical on almost every farm and would be profitable to thousands. Of course it could also be used to furnish the barn, house and pas ture with water, if there Is good supply.

The National Teachers Associa- ton meets at San Francisco July 17 to 20 inclusive, and our Terri torial Superintendent of Public Instruction should be taking some steps toward securing special rail road rates and privileges whereby Arizona might have representa- tion at this great educational con vention. The advantages to be gained by representation there are self-evident. Every state in the union will have teachers and prominent educators enrolled as members, who will participate in the proceedings of the convention. Men and women from far and near will bring the rich fruit of their varied experience in the public schools, colleges and uni versailles of the United States. Tie information gained there could not help but be of great benefit to our teachers and conse- uuently to the scholars of our publIc schools. We hope MT. Strauss will see the advantages to be gained and make some arrange ments with the Southern Pacific whereby the cost of the trip may be made to fall within the means of the slender purses of our terri torial teachers.

A special dispatch to the El Paso Times, under date of the 7th inst, says that a party of Mexican Federal troops came upon Larry Sheehan, Dick Johnson and Dick Hart, the Stein's Pass train rob bers, about 20 miles from Chihua- hua, on the previous night.

The alien law applies only to Territories and the District of Columbia. There IS no law that prohibits an alien from purchas- ing and working mines in Cali fornia, Nevada or any other state, but he cannot acquire title to a mine by location, as that right is reserved to citizens of the United States or those who have declared their intention to become such.
