Not Disqualified.

The Tucson Star asserts that Hon. Geo. H. Stevens and Hon. Isaac Lyons, Prison Commission CTS, Hon. c. B. Foster, Territorial Treasurer, and Hon. l.. W. BlInn, member of Normal School Board, are all disqualified from holding their respective offices The argu- ment of the Star is based upon the organic law of the territory, which prohibits a member of the territorial legislature from hold IipG anyssaice created by the leg islature of which heswas mem Der. Messrs. Stevens, Lyons, Eos ter and Blinn were members Of the last legislative assembly, which by the passage of the Ari- zona Revised Statutes repealed the former laws relating to terri torial officers, prison and Normal school, but simultaneously with such repeal re-enacted all the pro visions by virtue of which the several officers of Prison Commis sioners, Territorial Treasurer and members of Normal School board had heretofore been created and then existed. The Star maintains that the re-enactment of the old laws simultaneously with their repeal created the several offices. In this the Star is in error. For instance let us ask the Star if there has ever been one moment from the time when the old laws were enacted to the present minute when vacancy existed in the office of Prison Commissioner or Territorial Treasurer. If not, then it must be conceded that the offices were continuously in exist ence. In the construction of codes or revisions the rule estab- lished by courts has always been to consider them as combinations of the old law and not as new en- actments. This idea is also ex- pressed in the Revised Statutes of Arizona itself, where provision is made (Pars. 326O- -3261- 3262 ct sev.) for persons holding offices which are "continued" and those hold ing offices mot continued" There is great difference between the constitution of an office and the creation of one. A creation would be the bringing into existence of that which did not exist before. It will not be pretended that the offices in question did not ex- ist before the Revised Statues were passed and consequently no offices were created. A continua- ton of an office may be defined as a constant succession. All the offices in question were in exist ence before the meeting of the legislature of which Messrs. Stew ems, Lyons, Foster and Blinn were members, and having been then in existence and having always ex- isted since, it can not be truthfully said that the last legislature ere ated them.
 Messrs. Stevens, Lyons, Foster and Blinn do not hold offices ere ated by any legislature of which they were members and therefore are not disqualifed.-Yuma Sen tinel.

 Deputy Assessor Michelena re- turned Saturday from his trip to Clifton and surrounding country.

Tricks of Indian JuCglers.

Some of the tricks are performed by
every juggler you meet; others again are
of such an astonishing nature, and bor-
der SO nearly on the miraculous as to be
beyond the capacity of an ordinary per-
former. Of this character are the orange
tree trick and the burial trick. If, after
having witnessed these feats performed
in broad daylight, one is of the opinion
that it was an optical delusion produced
by the mesmeric power of the operator,
can only say that the ability to obtain
an absolute mastery over every faculty
of the observer is no less astonishing
than would be the actual performance of
an apparently impossible feat.
The most noticeable feature in the per-
formance of the Indian iuggler is the
entire absence of any kind of apparatus.
His scanty clothing affords no oppor-
tunity for concealment, and every feat
is performed simply by manual dexterity
or is delusion effected by mesmeric in
fluences. The famous wizards of Europe
and America were nothing without ap-
paratus, and great deal of the effect of
their performances was due to their mag
nifcent and costly paraphernalia. In
genious mechanisms and expert assist
ants were absolutely essential to the
success of their delusions. AS an illustra-
! ton of this may mention that Anderson
who, by the way, was the poorest
wizard l ever saw, considering his repu-
tation-made oath some thirty years ago
in an English bankruptcy court that his
apparatus, destroyed by the burning OF
Covent Garden theatre, London, was
worth over $4,000, and that the effort
to replace it was the cause of his insol-
vency. This amount, of course, included
stage properties and everything neces-
sary in his business. A rs cent carpet
bag would hold all the appliances deemed
necessary by Hindoo iuggler. Even in
the beautiful butterfly trick he manu-
factures his paper butterflies as occasion
requires. Charles E. Roman in The Cos

The Japanesc Wooden Shoe.

Chatter, clatter, clatter! What noise
the people make as they go along the
road! They all wear wooden sandals,
and their stockings are kind of mitten
with finger for the big toe. During
wet weather their sandals become stills,
and the whole Japanese nation increases
its stature by three inches when it rains.
These sandals are held to the foot by
straps coming over the toes, and there is
straw sole between the foot and the
sandal of wood. A tall Japanese on a
silt sandal closely approaches the ridicu-
lous. He sometimes tucks up his long
gown under his belt to keep it from be-
ing spattered by the mud, and the backs
of his bare calves seem to be walking off
with the man. The Japanese walk is
peculiar. The men put their feet straight
in front of them, like the American In
dian. They lift them high off the ground,
and they have get there air about them.
The women wabble and wabble; they
bend over as they walk. and they have
what is now in America the fashionable
stride. Their little feet in sandals turn
inward, and all female Japan is pigeon
toed. Your Japanese beauty is not averse
to showing her ankle, and the soul of the
Japanese beau does not flutter when he
sees C two inch slice of cream colored
skin above the three inch foot mitten.
The Japanese shoe store is one of wooden
ware rather than of leather, and the cob
bier mends his shoe with the chisel and
planer Frank G. Carpenters Letter.

More Truth Than Poetry.

Here's an item on social ethics.
There has grown up among US Gus
tom that has developed into n most
disagreeable nuisance. We refer TO the
custom of making presents on every
occasion of social meeting. II lady
invites few friends to spend the even
ing-a dollar or so apiece around must
be paid for a present. If a man hap
pens to have birthday and his friends
want to surprise him and have little
fun-Or pretend to have, for they don't
really have any nOwadays-they must
first consider whether they can stand
their share of the presents without hav-
ing to go without bread at home for a
few days. Scarcely social meeting Of
any kind is held any more that every
guest is not expected to take some
thing, as a prOpitiatory offering we
presume, for the host or hostess. So
far has this foolish custom been carried,
and so repulsive is it to the feelings of
refined and sensitive people, that many
who would like to entertain friends oc-
casionally, will not do so for fear of
Dame Grundy saying they do il only
for the sake of the presents they re-
ceive. 1t has also gone to such great
length that even little children cannot
have few of their playmates to spend
the evening without the little ones ex-
pecting to pay their way with pres
ent. This is often very embarrassing
to the little hostess, as well as to her
expected visitors, as it frequently hap
pens that the parents of some of those
invited are not so situated as to feel
able to purchase the useless baubles
usually given on such occasions. This,
one can readily see, has tendency to
hasten the growing danger of forming
'classes" in society, based on nothing
more substantial or less contemplate
than cash consideration. Those who
can pay can go; those who cannot can
stay away. See? Some of the bright
est stars in the social circle may, by
this prenicious practice, be relegated to
retirement and seclusion alike CALLING
to them and insulting to the great
Author of their being, who has en-
dowed them with talents qualifying
them to adorn any society. Let us
from now on, each individually pro-
ceed to remedy this foolish custom and
growing evil by having the strength to
say mo" when asked to chip in for the
next dose of presents for such an oc-
casion.- Wood Co. Gazette.

Big Money Made by ~ues.

''What is the most money ever made
by trg in one trip" was asked of en-
old tug man in South street.
THE very largest money ever obtained
YVES when two tugs picked Up a derelict
off Sandy Hook. She was in good scon-
dition, but had been abandoned by hel
crew, who were panic stricken. She
YVES drifting ashore. and the courts al
lowed a salvage Of SOS, 900 for the two
or $4,000 for q days work each. But
that wasn't q towing JOB. The biggest
price ever paid by ship for towing at
this port, SO far as know, was when q
ship captain had beat his way up 10 the
lightship after long winter voyage
from Manila. Reaching this point, with
the harbor before I'm, the northwest
wind became gale he could not face,
and he saw the shores of Staten Island
fade, and began to think he had Ber-
muda hard aboard. He couldn't stand
that prospect, and was compelled to pay
81 800 by heartless tug captain Of
about my size and disposition. That is q
sober fact. You will hear tug men tell
stories Of larger sums, but then those
men were intended by nature for fisher
men. New York Sun.

An illustration of strange fact is
found in the experience with the James,

appeared on board, and several deaths
followed. Subsequently the vessle was
thoroughly renovated and extensively
repaired. Her woodwork was steamed.

for several winters. She was finally or

Nobody need ever starve when whales
are in season. A few of them would
provision a city for long siege. Fortu-
nately, as the world grows older, it learns
to judge more fairly of neglected kinds
of provisions. 1t is pity that the true
value Of whale flesh has not been dis
covered long ago. How many poor
families might have been amply fed If
only whale extract" had come into
fashion years back. Commands should
also show their gratitude for the gift of q
fresh flavor. 1t must be admitted, with
regret, but without hesitation, that the
list Of ordinary articles of food is very
limited, and that beef and mutton are apt
to become monotonous. even when varied
with fish and poultry, and all the eat
able fruits of the earth as well. The
edibility of the whale is, therefore, an
exciting discovery"
The only drawback to the pleasant
picture which arises when the mind con-
templates $4,000 people dining off one
animal is contained in the thought that
whales, when they are proved to be val
liable for dietetic purposes, will be hunt
ed until they become scarce and perhaps
extinct. To guard against this danger
we have no doubt that whale breeding
would come into fashion. People who
found other forms of food culture unre-
munerative might remove to countries
where the climate allowed whales to live
in comfort and establish whale farms at
the mouths of tidal rivers. There is, in
