NOTES ON DRIVING.

You must appear to manage your steed without the slightest effort
 When turning to the left advance your right hand and grasp the left hand rein firmly
 In turning to the right, the left hand holds the reins and the right hand bears gently.
 The hands should be about on level in holding the reins. Hold the elbows easily, so they will just clear the hips.
 Hold the reins firmly enough at all times to keep them from slipping, yet lightly, so as not to pull on the horse and thus make him restive.
 You must lean forward slightly in the seat, for nothing looks worse than to see driver obliged to throw back his head if he pulls up suddenly.
 Train your horse under all circumstances to wait until you tell him to go before start ing. This is very important and will save you much annoyance, and perhaps your life.
 A pair of horses coupled too close to the pole will throw out their hindQuarters when stopped suddenly Both should be harnesssd so that when the reins are crossed they will draw evenly.
 When driving there must be no pulling and hauling first one side and then the other. A well broken, well bitted horse needs as much pressure as is needful to keep his head straight and no more.
 Hold your whip in the right hand always, nearly upright. But it is hardly ever to be used. Remember that. A spirited horse needs no urging beyond touch, which Is au indication of his masters will. '@a'1'

THE USES OF RoRAx.

Sprinkle places infested by ants with borax and you win soon be rid of them.
 Blankets and furs put away well sprinkled with borax and done up air tight will never be troubled with moths.
 A little borax put in the water before wash ing red, or red bordered tablecloths and nap kins, will prevent their fading.
 Ringworms will yield to borax treatment Apply a strong solution of borax three times a day; also dust on the fine dry powder very often.
 Silver spoons and forks, in daily use, may be kept bright by leaving them in strong bo- rax several hours. The water should be boil ing when they are put in.
 Put teaspoonful of borax in your rinsing water. It will whiten the clothes and also remove the yellow cast on garments that have been laid aside for two or three years.
 One of the best things to cleanse the scalp thoroughly is to dissolve one-half teaspoonful of borax in a quart of water and apply it. rubbing it in well. Rinse thoroughly in clear water
 For washing fine, nice fannels nothing will cause them to look so nice as borax in the water, a tablespoonful of borax to pail of water being the right proportion. Always wash baby's little flannel skirts, shirts, etc., in this.
 Always wash baby's mouth and gums every morning with water in which you have put a pinch of borax. It keeps the mouth fresh and sweet, and prevents that uncomfortable affiiction, a sore mouth, with which so many poor babies are troubled when their mouths are not kept perfectly clean.
 Borax water is excellent for sponging either silk or wool goods that are not soiled enough to need washing. In washing cashmere or wool goods put a little borax in the water This will cleanse them much more easily and better, without injury to the colors. Do not rub them on Q board, but use the hands, and throw on line without wringing. Press them on the wrong side, and they will look almost like new.-Good Housekeeping.

A DOCTORS REBUKE,
Immensely More Mischief than Ia Gen
 erally Suspected.

Dr. King, the eminent medical writer, in learned disquisition on our national com plaint, constipation, says:-
 The great quantity of cathartic pills, etc, which are annually swallowed by the people of this country has been productive of immensely more mischief than is generally suspected. True, the phys,o unloads the bowels, but in so doing its dction tends to diminish the tone of the intestines; so that, instead of remoYipg the costiveness, it aggravates 1t, lesvi,.1 Ie bowels in more torpid eendiis:. Ton.
 Joys YeaSsa...ole sarsaparilla was designed to nii Just such a contingency as the doctors ar raignment anticipates, viz: instead of being 8 powerful mineral purgatiye, it is a mild. vege- table laxative, that, owing to US solvent and gentle stimulating properties, is so certain re- lief ir constipation that it has been given away to hundreds, not to be paid for unless it was of positive benefit. Hrepiaces constipation almost immediately with natural easy habit, and is so mild that, unlike drastic purgatives, it can be taken indefinitely with perfect freedom and safety.

Casa Grande Improving.

Now that the town site of the town of Casa Grande Is filed in the Land Office at Tucson, and 8 government patent for the same will be issued in a few days, the citizens of Casa Grande are in position to throw their doors open and invite that class of people who are looking for a safe and per manent town in which to settle and invest their capital, to come and make their homes in and around a town of that promises to be in the near future the best point in southern Arizona.
 Those eastern capitalist who, about a year ago, came here and undertook by large canal to take the water from the Gila river to the country surrounding Casa Grande for irriga- tion purposes, haveIsucceeded admir- ably and have just now completed their reservoir-a basin some three miles in diameter-which will hold a large body of water, all of which is available for Casa Grande. There are hundreds of thousands of acres of fer tile lands unclaimed in the neighbor- hood of this town, requiring nothing for even the production of oranges and all semi-tropical SC fruits but water, and enough of water goes to waste through the Ctila river in the course of year to irI igate all the land in the county of PLnal, and no river in the country affords better opportunities for water storage than the Gila river.
 Next comes the mining interests. Casa Grande is the shipping point for about fifty mines which are located in the surrounding country and which are P producing gold, silver, copper and lead. not only giving employment to a large number Of men, but in return for the shipments of bullion getting back the currency for general circu- latioin. There is no better field in the southern portion of the Territory to- day for sampling works or smelter than at Casa Grande, and none that would give better returns or have the support of the county so generally, as there are thousands of tons of ore now piled up at the surrounding mining properties waiting for home reduction works.
