] funny, but his funniness is u sort of wild
 hilarity, mingled with a great deal of unwsrraDted cussedness, but when a
 monkey naturally funny has his fun niness trained he Is funpier than Charlie
 Reed or any other comedian who makes
 his livelihood by being funny. Pesroff,
 the monkey owned and managed by
 Sslvini ip the Grand Opera House, is a singularly funny creature. Petroff
 knows that be IS funny. and he evident ly tries 10 be funny, and what is more,
 he succeeds. That monkey has a great CT power over his face than many a comedian, and can transform it into an expression of absolute idiotcy and also
 with one of extreme cleveruess. He does not go through his performance as a dumb driven brute, but acts as If he thoroughly understood how funny 1t
 was for a monkey to initiate a man. and
 be proceeds to the imitation with a zest and vigor which IS really refreshing. -Ex.
 Phenix, geographically speaking in regard to population and in the matter of climate is the natural point for the capital of Arizona. Taking the entire territory into consideration, the law
 makers can reach Phepix in about one half the time and at about one half the expense required in getting to and from
 Prescott. Our winter climate IS the
 finest iD the world, while heavy frosts and blindiug snows mark the months of January and February in Prescott. The cost of living is fully B per cent. cheap ar in Phenix than at the present capital, and We cast LAC votes to ell in Pres | A. closer mail connections and better fRcil- ities h every respect, and believe that this city should be made the capital. Let it be done st the opening of the session and not prolonged so as to in terfere with needed legislation-Ari- zonan.

 The new Cook Book recently issued by | Estes < Laurist, a Boston Publishing | House, IS from the pen of Miss MsrIs | Parols, and is certainly one of the best | Of its kind ever printed.

Above all. 1t has . specIal | sechon headed, "In Emergencies" tell | ing the wife what to do when her hus- band brings in unexpected guests to din- her. Well carried out thIs section may | possibly spare some divorce proceedings | The chapter on Food for the Sick" is excellent.
