some of the most popular and entertain

only those who can enter into its spirit

in selections which will delight music

will help to give variety. They come
highly recommended as to their musical

sure that Addison will give them a good

and profited, as well as to benefit those
under whose auspices they come.

TUCsoS is at the present time under going more thorough snd complete change than she hss ever experienced even during her most prosperous days. Few notice this change, yet it IS daily taking place and great number of us are taking an active part in it. The se- cret ot this is, that the people of Tucson are gradually making up their minds to become permanent residents of the place
 During the past years we have lived on from month to month and year to year, hoping and expecting to make ''stske" and then return 10 our former homes. It is for this reason that Tucson has been retarded in growth so many years. People considered themselves as merely transient Now. however, this feeling IS changing. We begin to see and realize that Tucson is blest with 6 delightful climate; that her advantages are imprOy- Ing each year and her resources becom- ing more and more numerous. This is the feeling that sctuates us in planting our trees, and improving our homes, in building our handsome public school building, and beautitylng our public grounds. We are becoming interested ID our surroundings, and are making mp our minds to live, not merely to exist. And it is we'll for us and for our future prospects that we are doing thIs, for strangers will take no interest in us or our enterprises I. We show no interest ourselves. We must be enthusiastic ourselves if we wish to enthuse others.

New Kind of Luncheons.

A very gorgeous novelty in society is
 called the Rainbow Luncheon Two
 o'clock is the hour that has been fixed
 upon as most suitable, though oddly enough an accompaniment of the event is a gas lighted lunch room, with the jets shaded by globes of various tints, curtains of silk being employed to shut out the Ob- trusive daylight. At one of these rainbow parties a group of mandolin players, half concealed by tall towering plants, gave an Oriental touch to the entertainment. Over the oriel window was fitted rainbow arch four feet long and composed of roses of seven different shades.
 There were three tables, and at each plate was a hand painted menu card with the guests name and a miniature rainbow on the back. The first table was all in yellow, with glittering cut glass and silver decorated in repousse of Marguerites The brass candelabra in the center rested in fat basket of yellow wax tapers and yellow shades. The fringed doylies were embroidered in gold threads and the damask napkins in yellow roses. The china for the ten courses was all in yell low, but different in design for each course. The second table was decked in red, with napkins embroidered in red roses, and the bisque candelabra set on a base of jacqueminOt and lighted by red tapers shaded by red globes The china for each course was also of shaded red The third table had blue appointments. The napery was worked in blue forget me nOts, and the tapers and shades were blue. with a fiat basket of white roses. The blue points came on in cut glass dishes, and there were rainbow ices in miniature and punch glasses filled with ices of various eolors. s.-LOuisville COu-

Cum Chewing.

Following from Bill Nye, ID the New York World, will probably be of vas. interest to some Of our young lady friends:
 "A Yssssr Girl" writes to know If the habit of gum chewing is really injurious and also wh ,ther ii can truthfully be considered de trop.
 The letter, though carefully and in- genIously written, is scarcely the work of Nassar girl A Nasssr elsl with the educational advantages of that institu- ton, and, knowing, as she must, that man IS cudless animal, would hardly address such a question to the under signed. This young woman must be playing upon the crsdulisy of one who is easily made ihe victim of Gothic pen manship and seductive odOrs, A Vasssr girl would not need to ask whether it would be injurious or not, for a person not having four stomachs to try and emulate or endogenous msmmulis. She would know 1t at once.
 But it Is not alone because gum chew ing IS injurious that I would speak against 1t. It IS unnice. None of us are using gum tbis winter ID our set. It interferes with the clear, nasal epup cisiion; and when one goes to bed with gum m the mouth It IS too apt to he stuck on the hesdbosrd of the bed where, as 1t becomes more frequent. if mars the symmetry of the furniture and take of the vsrnish. Moreover. yoo seem to accomplish SO little Tn chewing gum. Chew, dear one. as long as yon may, but c ward of spruce has gum flo stay.

Fighting with Bare KpueLIe..

You will hear a number of so called fighters nowadays talking of their ability tO fight with bare knuckles, but the truth Is that but few fighters have the courage to fight with the raw 'uns. It requires great pluck to face a determined fighter and look at the hard, uncovered knuckIes playing carefully in front of you, and ready at the owners will 10 be driven into your face or stomach. Thus men who will fight with the greatest determination with even as small as two ounce gloves, will quail when brought face to face with pair of uncovered fists. No amount of coaching or training will cure them. either. The fear of a bare fist seems innate with some men and they can never conquer this fear, although their pluck has never been questioned when engaged In a glove contest, no matter how wicked. This peculiarity is noticeable mostly among the Germans, who have a holy horror of being hit with a naked fist. There have been plucky Germans, who have fought like tigers with gloves. but put them up with nothing on their hands and they are too nervous tO do themselves Democrat Interview.

Love seems to be the handspring O, life among the Mexican women. They adore their husbands in a wOrshiDful man ner that l grieve to say my little woman doesn't approve of; they love their chil. dren with a broOding tenderness that finds constant expression in the sweetest and most loving words, and they love each other and all the world besides; ever on their animals they bestOw the utmost affection. Their very language lends itself particularly to the expression of their ab- sOrbing mother love, and children are Precioza, Adorado, Cara, Mia, Cariszimo and Alma Mia, besides numberless other careSSing titles. And SO the little woman tired as she was, found herself rested in the fullness of the abOunding womauIy sympathy. And afterward she told me that she adored Mexican women.

IT IS with much regret we learn of the poor management by the trustees of the Lick observatory. R s. Floyd, the pres Ident, and Thomas [. Frazer, had the matter in hand, and full control over the legacy. James LIck, the millionaire, who died several years ago, left large amount of money in the hands of tEus- tees for the purpose of establishing on the Pacific Coast, and for the benefit of She University of California, sn i'm mense observatory. It was @ noble be- quest and his directions should have been honestly and carefully attended to. 1t seems, however. that the above per sons, who had the management of the matter, knew little or nothing of the scientific works they had in hand and the result is that what money they have used in building the observatory, has been almost thrown away as the work has been poorly and improperly done. Aside from this, @ good part of the money spent by Messrs. Floyd and Frazer in luBketing trips over Europe, visiting astronomical eontrivances al though knowing themselves thoroughly incompetent to judge of what they saw. It IS great pity shat this trust has been go shameiuily abused. The Board of Regents Of the University of California will now probably take this matter ip hand, rebuild and improve the obserys- tory and save ss much of the wreck of the trust ss possible

What Can He Do?

The great test in life, says Gen Thomas
 J. Morgan in a paper on Training as an
 Element of Education" !" is rather what
 man can do than what he knows. Can he
 use his eyess Has he good Judgmenn IS
 he & man of common sensey Can ne
 think Does he reason correctly? Has he
 power of adaptatiOng Can he organizer
 Has he executive fOrce' Is he practica'
 These are the kind of test questions that
 are put to the graduates of our schools.
 Can the sweet girl graduate" cook din ner, sweep a room or superintend house'
 Does she have an intelligent interest m passing events, Has she robust health, good habits, self reliance, energy and power of endurance2 Can the young man lay aside his diploma and keep his father accounts, write an article for the news paper, make a business trip to Chicago, give an intelligent account of the morn ingis news' Can he lend hand at home, and turn to some good account in the daily duties of life some of the accumulated stores of knowledge smassed in years of studyg Does his education render him more industrious, more skilful and ef- ficient, more ingenious, more persistent, more practically masterful in whatever he undertakesy
 If he has been trained to use his senses, to acquaint himself with natural phenOm- ena at first hand; if he has been taught to think, to make careful comparison, noting essential differences and significant making patient inductiOns and wise generalizatiOns; if he has been led to form fixed habits of thoughtfulness. self reliance, moral easnestness, inflexi bility of purpose, persistent industry, punctuality, fidelity, un- swerving devotion to duty; if, in short, as a result of his school life, his training has produced a well rounded character, he will be able to meet all the reasonable de mands that society can make upon one who lacks practical experience in actual business. He will readily acquire skill and efficiency in any calling for which his special talents have fitted him. Training gives potency to all the souls possibilities. Popular Science Monthly.

IS all probability a material change will b. made during this session of con gress, in the public land laws. 4 sub committee, consisting of Messrs. Hol- man, Stone and Payson, have prepared biil winch they have submitted to the whole comm tee, which greatly changes the lsw governing the disposal and oc- cupGtIOn Ct public lands. The bill pro vIdes that mineral lands shall be sold at not less than SlO % per acre. As min ing locations are generally 1500 feet long by 800 feet wide, this gives an area of little over ten acres to the claim and will cost somewhat more than S100 per claim. One advantage would be derived from thIs law. It would stop the errstic movements Cf the location fiend. This bill further provides that timber lands shall not be sold, but the timber there on can be appraised and sold at not less than ten dollGrs per acre.
