The Calm Boston Woman.

The heroines of Fielding's novels
would have been surprised at the calm
ness three Boston women exhibited
under trying circumstances the other
evening. As they were riding rapidly
through the streets there was sudden
ly lurch, a veering upon one side,
and seraping of the carriage over
the stones. The axle had broken and
the wheel rolled off rapidly. The oc-
cupants did not scream nor faint nor
exhibit any of the emotions which the
heroines of former days thought prop
er to exhibit. With the simple remark,
"The wheel is off" they stepped quick
ly out of the carriage, which had come
to standstill, hailed a herdic, and
were riding away before the gathering
crowd had had time to notice that the
carriage was occupied at the time of
the accident.

Robbie's Answer.

Robbie, aged four, was q great chat
terbox, keeping up constant stream
of conversation with everybody near
him, or with himself if alone. One
day, when his mother had company at
dinner, he was permitted to come in
for share of the dessert. As usual,
he talked necessarily, telling wonder
full stories, and asking more wonderful
questions, without apparently expect
ing an answer to any of them. His
mother warned him several times to
keep silence. This being of no avail,
she finally threatened, in an angry
tone:
'If you don't keep silence immedi-
ately, 1 shall whip you"
Little Robbie looked at her a few
seconds, as if astonished, and then said,
gravely, "There won't be any more
silence then. ."-Edito,'s DraWer in

The sparrow has friend in Boston.
One of these much-abused birds got
into the globe of an electric lamp Just
before the hour of turning on the cur
rent and didn't seem to know enough
to get out. A little crowd assembled
to see what would happen when the
current was turned ON, but just before
the catastrophe an elegantly dressed
man accompanied by lady walked
up. When he saw the situation he gave
his cane to his companion, pulled off
his kid gloves, climbed the slippery
pole, to the great detriment of his good
clothes, and, putting his hand within
the lamp. released the bird, which flew
away. The crowd applauded, and the
gentlemen went home for more good
clothes.

RaISIN CUlGurR.

The following article, taken from the Arizonian, referring to the cultivation of grapes for raisins, is of much interest and applies equally we'll to this valley:
 Information gained from competent sources by the reporter, IS to the effect that by the close of the present planting season the area of raisin grapes in the Salt river valley will aggregate four full sections; let be placed at 2,500 acres in round figures. Only the best variety of vines for this purpose are being set out, and the work is in competent and ex- perienced hands. From these facts some information can be gained of the i'm portance of the growing industry so propitlously inaugurated by Robert Me Pherson, one of the leading raisin grow CTS of Southern California, in our valley last year. In four more years, the vines mentioned, with proper care, will give an average yield of i've tons to the acre
 or an aggregate of I2, 300 tons of grapes. Mir McPh erson, who still holds large interests in California, is confident that the yield of raisins will be 40 per cent of the grapes; butcalculating at 8 per cent, for safety, and the output will be over 4000 tons. This would be equivalent to 400, 1000 boxes, and at S1 per box, (the San Francisco quotations at present for common qualities being S1.15@ S1,5O), the income from these vineyards will be S400,000 in the year 1892.
 The growing of grapes for the manu- fracture of raisins has just begun here, but past experience has developed the certainty of the industry In no other part of the world does the vine thrive better, and the equable climate, the absence of all fog, dew and rain in the curing season is an item in our favor that no other grape region of the Pacific coast enjoys.
 The cottonwood will afford ample material for boxes, but the great ad van tage which our growers will have will be in the possibilities of reaching the eastern markets at least month ahead of competitors in Southern California, and thus securing the highest prices.
 In their industry and perseverance the people of Maricopa county are building better than boom, and of the many re. sources now developed none is likely to be of greater commercial importance than the one noted above

Profits Oftre Fig.

Semi Tropical Planter: Southern Call ifornia from the coast to the interior mountain ranges IS adapted for fig rals- ing. It grows and produces luxuriously here at Oceanside on the sea coast, and it is equally at home in the dryer valleys of the interior.
 On recent visit to Los Angeles coun- ty I made 1t special object to investi- gate the fig business there, and from the facts collected on that occasion 1 am in clined to think if the fig industry IS handled right it will take the lead of al most all kinds of fruit as a paying crop. 1 visited hr. Stewards tg orchard near Downey City, and was greatly pleased with my inyestig gatirns. In comparing the fig as profitable crop with the olive Mir. Stewart said that in three yeals af- ter being put out the fig will begin to bear, and at 4 years old will produce enough to cover the original cost of trees and cultivation, and from that on it pro- duces a steady income with little labor and expense. He says that his trees advance in value of crop S1 each per year. For instance, siX-year old tree will produce 8 worth of figs. under or dinaly circumstances a 7-year old tree will produce $7 worth and so on.
 Mir Stewards fig trees are from 15 to 20 years old, and although his orchard is small he nets s1200 to s15G0 year out of it.
 The advantages Mir. Stewart claims for the fig over nest other sorts of fruit are, + As compared with olives and citrus fruits. it begins to produce paying crops several years before either of these.
 ?. That it Is T constant and uniform bearer from year to year.
 3. That figs are easily dried and pre- pared for market.
 A. That while you are waiting for olives and citrus fruits to bear you have made good many dollars out of your fig orchard, as figs usually begin to pay Tn the third year after Ilanting out.
 5. The market for dried figs is inn mense, and is not likely to be overstock- ed in tie near future.
 A fact not generally known is that the common blue fig, when fully ripe, is cap- able of being made into a very fine grade of brandy that will age sooner than any grape brandy by one-half.
 The fig is not troublesome tree to cultivate. Little else is needed than thorough cultivation, as. the annual shearing down and thinning out, like other deciduous fruit trees need, is not necessary.
 The only pruning required is when branches hang down too low to be cul- tivated An immense field is now open ed up for good California figs for the purpose of being crystalized and sold as confectiors. A firm which manufactur- ed such articles in Los Angeles has bought all of Mir Stewards figs and pays him $50 per ton for the same this season.

Only Needs Water.
(Kansas City News.)

An Evening News reporter this morn- ing encountered Frank E. McCrary, formerly of Kansas City, but now a resi- dent of Arizona, and in town for few days on business, and asked him if it were true that he had permanently de- serted the Sout hwestern metropolis for the land of the cactus and Apache?
 "Yes, sir: am living in that much ma ligned country. My home is in Florence, Arizona"
 "What are the resources of that part of Arizona"
 ''There Is quite variety. Florence is located in an extensive agricultural belt; can have two crops of grain each year, four to five crops of hay, and vegetables the year around. Our citrus fruits ripen four to six weeks earlier than they do in Southern California. This year we had four crops of figs The outlook in horti- culture is exceedingly bright"
 ''Do you have much rainf'
 "No, the rainfall is not great. We de- pend entirely on irrigation, which is really the only way to farm. With us there is no question of crop. Land with water right sells for $50 an acre. The same lana in Southern California sells for $500 an acre. Some eighty thousand acres of desert land is bein 2 reclaimed by a system of canals which will add greatly to our population and wealth. In valuable minerals we have great variety and quantity. The mount aims on every side are full of gold, silver copper and lead :"

The Silver Belt announces that Cap tain F. E. Pierce, Indian Agent at San Carlos, will tender his resignation as Agent, to take effect March 31st. This step of the Captain will be unive rsally regretted in Southern Arizona, as he has performed the duties of Agent to the satisfaction of the Government, the peo- pie of this Territory and his dusky wards. It will be hard to find man to fill the place which will be made vacant by Cap tain Pierce's resignation. The Stock man, however, would suggest to the powers that be the name of Lieutenant Gatewood as man calculated-by his familiarity with the Apache character, the respect and fear in which he is held by the various tribes of this race, and the great service he rendered the coun- try in bringing about the surrender of Gerenimo-to perform the responsible duties of Indian Agent at San Carlos to the entire satisfaction of all concerned.-- Wilcox Stockman.

A Mountain RaMcia.

Mir. E. NJ. Reavis came down on Mon day from his ranch beyond the Super stition mountains, bringing a lot of fires | vegetables, including some of the biggest and best cabbages ever grown. Heads that averaged more than ten pounds in weight were solid and firm, and as ten der as young lettuce. He raises pars- nips, five inches in diameter, that are extremely tender, and all his vegetables possess the most superior qualities.
 His ranch is located in valley be- yond the Sul erstition mountains, in most picturesque locality. The mount aims all around it are filled with game and for many years until within the past year or two, the Apaches hunted both man and beast through them. Mir. Rea- wis has lived there since May, 1876, and he has all alone had many siege with the hostiles, but always came out vic torious. He can outwit the sharpest h. dian that ever lived and Is never taken at a disadvantage. Being an old from tiersman and we'll acquainted with h. dian character, he has no fear of them so long as his trusty rifle remains faith ful.
 He has 200 acres of land on his farm, 35 acres of which is under cultivation, and he supplies vegetables and fruits to Pinal, Silver King and to Florence. A never failing stream of pure water is used to irrigate his land. The elevation is 5000 feet above the sea level, where all kinds of deciduous fruits flourish re- markedly well. Wild walnuts and cher ries grow abundantly and some cherry trees have attained enormous size, being fully three feet in diameter Black Der ries and raspberries grow wild in plenti- ful quantities all around the mountains Potatoes grow well, the Early Rose, Goodrich and few other varieties being the best, while some kinds will not grow at all.
 There are some vely interesting h. dian ruins not far from his farm and cave in which many relics can yet be found. They are situated on Rogers creek, in the Rogers mining district and but few white people have ever visited them and none in scientific way. The whole neighborhood Is full of interesting features and the place is a splendid sum mer resort.
 Mr. Reavis is typical frontiersman; active, restless, hardy and hospitable. He is nearly six feet in height and strong lY built, his massive head covered with long hirsute mating of auburn hue, in- nocent alike of shears or comb for per haps years. He is aifable and intelligent and the story of his life and adventures would make and interesting volume of historical value. He sprung from good family and brother is a journalist of note ill St. Louis. He thinks the ''Baron' Reavis is a distant relative, but he re- gards him as black sheep of the family and unworthy..of his recognition.
 Mir Reavis started homeward early Tuesday morning following his patient burros and accompanied with his favorite dogs that follow him wherever he goes
