Teaching of the Hand.

Careful manual training is one of the few good things that are good for every body. It is good for the rich boy, to leach him respect for the dignity of beautiful work. It is good for the poor boy, to increase his facility for handling tools, if tools prove to be the thing he must handle for living afterwards. It is good for the bookish boy, to draw him away from books. But, most of all, it is good for the non-bookish boy, in showing aim that there is something he can do well.
 The boy utterly unable. even if he were studious, to keep Yp in book knowledge and percentage with the brighter boys becomes discouraged. dull and moody. Let him go to the work room for an hour and find that he can make box or plane l rough piece of board as well as the brighter scholar-nay, very likely better than his brighter neighbor. and you have given him an impulse of self respect that IS of untold benefit to him when he goes back to his studies. He will be a brighter and a better boy for finding out some thing that he can do well Mind you, it is not blaming the board that does him good; it is blaming the board in the pres ance of other boys who can no longer ook down upon him when they see how well he can plane. He might go home after school and plane a board iD the bosom of his family or go to an evening school to learn to plane without quar- ter part, nay, without any, of the inval- uable effect upon his manhood that it will have to let him plane side by side with those who in mental attainments may be his superiors.

The vineyard started at Maricopa is a decided success, for the proper parties have taken hold of this enterprise-Co c. $. NJ asten, general manager of the Maricopa X PheniX railroad, with the Cutting Packing Co.,, of San Francisco, that are trying to make Arizona as well as make themselves. They have cleared off two sections of land within one mile of Maricopa station, and they are sav- ing no expense in order to make it a success. Henry Alvey is in charge and his work shows that he is practical farmer. It is worth while to take clo- ser view of this enterprise which is a great credit to the promoters. The well on top is 10x20 feet square, thus it goes down 30 feet from where it Is only 10x1C square and is continued 15 feet, which makes the well 40 feet deep, with feet of water. The pump is placed on the 30 foot level winch brings 1t within 1C feet of the water, as the water is easier forced out than drawn up. The pump is run by steam and throws a continuous stream 7 inches in diameter, which is supposed to be equal to 10000 gallons an hour.
 The water is discharged into a Hume which carries the same into a reservoir, 300 by 300 feet square, and six feet high. This reservoir is very simple in construc- tion, as there is merely an embankment thrown up six feet high and about eight feet wide, of good Arizona soil which holds the water splendidly From this reservoir a main ditch runs along the upper end of the land cleared off where it is led into the furrows where the grape cuttings are being set out, of whicl two car loads have arrived from Califor- mia, and over one section being already set out; the remainder will be planted shortly.
 Everything is in first class running order and success certain. There is nc such word as fail

Republican Territorial Conven-
 fiOn

A convention of the Republican party of the Territory of Arizona will be held at the city of Phenix, on Wednesday, the 25th day of April, 1888, for the pur- pose of selecting two delegates and two alternates to the National Republican Convention to be held at Chicago on the 18th day of June, 1888. The basis of representation will be one delegate from each county and one delegate for each fifty votes or fraction over twenty-five votes cast for c. c. Bean, Delegate to Congress, at the November election in 1886. The representation of the several counties will be as follows:
 Apache, 2; Mojave, '; Yuma, 4; Ora ham, 6; Pinal, 9; Maricopa, 15; Yavapai, 20; Cochise, II; Gila, 5; Pima, 16.
 By ruling of the Chairman of the Territorial Central Committee it is un- derstood that proxies to the convention must be held by members of the con vention from the same counties only.
 The selection of men to sit in the na- tional councils of the Republican party which has ever been synonym for na- tional progress and national enterprise, is one of the most important functions to be discharged by Territorial Repub- licans and demands our best endeavors and soundest material. To this end a full attendance is desirable in our Ter ritorial convention and it should be the duty of Republicans in every county in the Territory to see that men of charac- ter and undoubted standing in the party be sent to the front.

Colds and Nerves,

A timid woman comes home one night pale and ghastly with fright, having en- countered specter clad in white, which she calls ''ghost." In a day or two she develops cold, for which she can not in any way account. Fear acts as a depressant to the nervous system, crippling its powers of resisting the ac- ton of cold, hence the phrase, ''shiver- ing with fear" Similarly, innumerable events of daily life tend to irritate, de press, or excite the nerves, and render them unfit for maintaining the body tenn perature against the fluctuations of weather and climate. During these un- guarded moments a trihing exposure to cold or damp is sufficient to induce catarrh.-Contemporary Review.

APPLE-WOOD PIPES.
An Eastern Factory That Uses Up Orchard
 Butts and Stumps.

Butts and Stumps.
 "Briar wood or apple?" said the keeper of tobacco store to q custom CT who asked for a pipe. "Ihe fact is that some dealers sell briar or apple out of the same box. But the briar is a little darker and does not have quite as fine gloss as the rich, red apple-wood takes. Both come from up the country, I guess
 In travelling around Rockland Coun- ty, one may run across pipe factory which supplies large part of the city trade. It is built near Spring Valley, at the headwaters of the Pascack creek, where there is never-failing water-power. A little hamlet has grown up around the pipe factory and is called "Pipeville." If one passes the place in the winter months he will see cords on cords of sppletree wood piled up in tho mill- yard where it has been brought by the farmers around about. The country is full of fruit trees. and as orchards continually need thinning out or cut ting down when too old to bear, there is plenty of material. The economic agr.eulturists prefer to sell the wood at ten dollars ton, solid measurement. to working it up for tirewood. Of course, they must deliver it at this place, end the factory wants only the sound, good-sized logs or branches. Farmers and farmers sons know how hard it is 10 split apple-tree wood. It cuts easily, however, being of a ''cheesy" quality, and these points make it desirable for pipes.
 Two men first attack the logs in the yard with a crosscut saw and divide them into short pieces which are thrown into the mill. Here they are divided again into small bits and are seasoned. Those without splits or other defects are then selected and the work of making the bowls begins. A long row of operators sit at a bench before lathes, boring machines, rasps and sand-papering apparatus and the bits of appletree pass rapidly from one to another as each does his special work on it. When the bowl is finished the stem of bone, wood or amber is deftly inserted and fastened, the bowls receive their final coat of varnish and are packed in boxes.
 Many thousand p'pes are turned out every season. Some are ingeniously carved by experts, who make good wages at the business. Animals, birds and human faces are carved witt great fidelity and one of these speci. mems will compare favorably witt meerschaum pipes for artistic ef feet. This firm also manufacture: briar-wood pipes, but has to bring tha wood sonic distance. The briar is ; favorite with many smokers, just a; the corn-cob or the long clay mine has its admirers. The choice of pip. depends not a little on association ant suggcs ion. Certainly there could b, less pleasing suggestions than tht spple-tree pipe brings, as one picture in its fragrant cloud of smoke q lordly apple-tree on some Rockland Countl hillside, with it's fruitage of Newtowl pippins and its possibilities of rare vich cider.-N r 71.ibune-

NEARLY all the land owners along tn

NEARLY all the land owners along the Florence Canal contemplate planting the larger portion of their properties to fruit trees and grape vines, to which the soil Is admirably adapted. Several owners of whole sections will plant every acre to fruits and devote their attention solely to fruit culture. It has been demon atrated that this portion of Arizona pos sesses singular advantages in the culti- vation of fruits, among them being the early d ate of ripening, the freedom from scale and injurious parasites, the long seasons that give from two to four crops annually and the dry atmosphere so de- sirable in curing raisins. Every person who plants his land to fruits is sure of securing large income in few years and a very pleasant avocation, with an appreciation in the value of the land to q handsome figure. We know of no sec tion of country on the Pacific coast that holds out greater inducements to the pomologist than the rich mesa lands lying along the Florence canal and the time is not far distant when their ex- ports of choice fruits will aggregate a very handsome figure annually.

The physical suferings endurel by the eastern people during a single blizzard are far more intense and agonizing than all the discomforts attending dozen summers in the hottest portions of Ari- zeua. The people of the east endure not only the extremes of cold in winter snd heat in summer, but in the gradual change from the one to the other there comes a vast deal of disagreeable weather that has no corresponding season in this land of sunshine. Our winters are like the pleasant spring time and our sum- mers are full of joys.

SAvANTs who have studied the charac. ter of the long buried relics of the anci- ent people who once densely populated the Gila valley, have arrived at the con clusion that they had attained very high degree of civilization fully ten thousand years ago. Further researches among the vast ruins will be made and it will not be surprising if it is found that the garden of Eden was located in the Gila valley. The tree of life may have routed down during all the long years that have elapsed since Adam was sold out, but the serpent can be easily identified in the claimant of the alleged Peralta grant.

IN common with all people who take a lively interest in public affairs and pub lie institutions, we regret that Hon Thos. Gates has concluded to resign as Super intendent of the Yuma penitentary. His health will not permit him to attend to it's duties and bear it's responsibilities during the summer months, and he will go to the seaside to rest and recuperate. MT. Gates has made model officer and his administration of affairs at the pen itentiary has been acceptable to every citizen and taxpayer. It is not at all unlikely that Mir John H. Behan, the present Turnkey, will be chosen to sue ceed Mir. Gates, and it is comforting assurance, since Mir. Gates is determined to relinquish the office, that it will be cou6ded to such capable and efficient gentleman's hands.

Smith is certainly bending his best efforts in be- half of his constituents and if he fails to accomplish everything desired it will not be from lack of z cal or diligence. It is one thing to introduce a measure in Congress, but quite different matter to secure its enactment as law, par ticularly where the interests of the peo- plO of a Territory are concerned, for he passage of almost every bill depends in a greater or less degree upon the amount of political leaveu that permeates it, and the Territories possess no political in- huence
