A RECEIPT FOR SLEEP.


bertha Scranton POOL
Take of peoples, a handful
To brush the lid down soft;
A night moth, dressed in shaded grays
To hover just aloft,
And a moon 10 look in at the window,
Not round and staring, o mol
But yelled like fine reserve in mists,
And only silver bow.
Then mix Of dreams dozen,
Changing, like purple dyes,
Full OF purpling, dripping water,
And battle the tired eyes.
Charles Lamb say'; "Imagine high gate
Where sheep follow, one by one;'
Or, rhyme may be chantei backward
I've heard that it could be done.
This with a little Browning,
Or Shakespeare sprinkled fine.
A thought of X eats-like thistle down
A scent of Tuscan wine.
Or. il the case should be obstinate,
As last resort eschew
All methods, and try to keep awake,
And you'll sleep the whole night through

A Growing Industry.

l.
The industry of cat skin COLLECTING "a
an industry is of very recent growth. If
within so short a space of time the casual
destruction for their hides of few stray
cats has assumed the respectable dimen,
sions of solid traffic estimated IN round
numbers as hundreds of thousands Of
SKINS, what will it be a decade hence
About the superiority of cats skins. in
one way or another, over those of rat
rabbit or squirrel, there is no question
ne cost OF production, too, cannot be
called excessive, seeing that each skin is
stolen and the whole original outlay is
one stout stick for dispatcbing puss and
sack to carry her home in, While the
total working expenses are the wear and
Tear OF shoe leather in tramping the
streets Tor prey, and very casual So
penalty for such as are detected in the
act How under such combination Of
laVorng circumstances can an Industry
doanythlng but thrive!

To Preserve the Body's Warmth

1t may not be generally known that
when exposed to severe cold, a feeling
of warmth is readily created by re.
peatedly filling the lungs to thel'
utmost extent in the following manner
Throw the shoulders well back and hold
the head well up. Initiate the lungs
slowly, the air entering entirely through
the nose. When the lungs are CON-
pletely filled, hold the breath for ten
seconds or longer, and then expire II
quickly through the month After ~
peating the exercise while one is chilly
a feeling of warmth will be felt over tns
entire body, and even in the feet anu
hands. 1t is important to practice 'ls
exercise many times each day, anu
especially when in the open air. II 'l'

------------------------ WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

| Nobody within the ranks of the Republican party objects 10 legitimate journalistic enter. prise in Arizona but the party does most em. phatically object 10 q political organ" started on the contributions of political Ofliceholders | for the purpose of plucking the Territory 1 through corrupt scheme to give it Territorial authenticity, and support it from what it can | force out the Territorial treasury through the officials that control our Territorial finances.
 So says the Herdld. Now what does this mean? If the tumble means any, thing it is that Treasurer Smith is cor ruptly permitting us to force him to get money out of the treasury. Is this what is meant to be conveyed by this excerpt?
 If so, this gives us the opportunity to say that THE REPUBLICAN has never drawn a penny from the Territorial treasury on any account whatever. An investigation shows that on the con- trary, since Mir. Smith assumed the office of Treasurer the Herald has received every cents worth of patronage at the Treasurer's command, excepting the advertisements which the law de- mands to be made in San Francisco and New York. Insurance notices, warrant advertisements, job printing and all other patronage has been shoveled into it's rapacious nav, yet it isn't happy, and shows it's gratitude by intimating that Mir. Smith is permitting us to cor ruptly use public funds.
 Is the Herald quite responsible for it's utterances?

"TEN ACRES ENOUGH. :"

The author of "Ten Acres Enough, '' who located his tract in New Jersey, would find here in Arizona's valleys that three acres would produce much more annually with one-half the labor that he bestowed upon his New Jersey farm.
 Take one acre of strawberries yielding here three crops year and it's return would be more in cash value than the whole ten acres that was cultivated with such never ending care and gave but one annual yield in return. With three acres in choice early apricots the "Ten Acre" product pales into positive insignificance when we compare the cash returns.
 Plant four acres of our valley lands, one each in strawberries, early and De- cember peaches, early apricots, and early grapes, and the yearly profits therefrom will be found to exceed the best forty acre farm in the whole State of New Jersey.
 There is an abundance of such land

MISINFORMED COLORADAN.

Louis Huller, speculator and advent
 urer, has succeeded in getting himself
 again into the newspapers. This time
 by giving currency to the absurd propo-
 sition that if the United States wanted
 Lower California, the way to secure it
 would be by ceding to Mexico strip of
 land bounded on the north by straight
 line passing from Fl Paso, Texas, to
 Yuma, Arizona. This would return to Mexico large part, if not all, of the territory acquired by the "Gadsden Purchase" It was scarcely necessary for the Mexican Government to send out word that Huller's talk had no significance, and that the story is pre- posterous.
 The Gadsden Purchase was one of the most profitable the Government ever made, yet q paper generally so we'll in- formed as the Denver Republican makes this fiippant comment on Huller's prop osition: "If Lower California is the more preferable of the two there would be no particular objection to ceding to Mexico the district mentioned by MT. Huller. Neither that tract of land nor Lower California is of much value. But we do not see why the Government of Mexico should be willing to give up Lower California" THE REPUBLICAN may not have heard of the Salt River, the Santa Cruz, the San Pedro, the Gila and other valleys fertile beyond com parison, well watered and in which can be raised all the tropical and semi-trop- ical fruits, all of which are within the Gadsden Purchase, but it should have heard of the great mines at Tombstone, at Bisbee, at Mammoth and on the Col orado, not to speak of dozens of proper ties that have never been advertised, but that would be considered bonanzas even in 80 richly mineralized country as Colorado. There is no equal area of country so rich in resources as this very "Gadsden Purchase" and TIE REPuB- MCAN ought to know it.
 As it underwriters this section, so it undervalues Lower Cali fornia. That, too, is rich in minerals and unequaled in agri- culture and blessed with a climate that is almost perfect. There is no doubt that, under the treaty of Hidalgo Gua- daloupe, it was the intention to include all that section west of the Gulf of Cali fornia in the United States, but through the stupidity of surveyors line was run due west from the Colorado to point just south of San Diego, cutting the pen insula off from its natural belonging. It is a valuable strip of land, and should belong to the United States, but it is no to the portion which Huller would exchange for it, and which the Republican speaks of as "not of much value"

N FED OF ORGANIZATION.

TIE freight and express rates out of Phoenix are not all that could be desired, yet the most serious drawback to the shipment of the products of the valley is lack of organization. At present there is no central depot from which ship ments may be made in the best possible condition. That this is essential is shown by the following from the Tucson Star:
 The Star has always been and is now the ad- vocate of patronizing home industry, and we have constantly urged our merchants to give home products of all kinds the first show, and especially to make market for the products of Salt River Valley. Last evening as we walked down Congress street and enquired of the first store from where they secured their fruits 1t was surprise to learn that nearly all of them were selling California fruits We enquired the reason why and learned that all of them were desirOus of patronizing Arizona producers, but that the shippers at Phoenix did not exercise the same care as the California shippers. That one day they would ship over fine lot of fruit and the next day a miserable batch. which is left on their hands, Now this is all wrong, and 1t Is plain that if the Phoenix shippers desire to secure the Tucson trade they must give our merchants as good treatment as they get from California.
 This same complaint is heard all over the Territory where our fruit is shipped. One lot of bad fruit may kill seasen's business. California learned this at a cost, and experience taught the fruit raisers of that State the necessity of a central depot, with cold-storage, where the fruit could be properly assorted and packed and shipped in the most perfect manner possible. This will have to be done by the Salt River fruitmen, if they expect to gain trade and permanent foothold as against California. Even with superior quality of fruit this val ley cannot compete with California if the product is sent out in slovenly and indifferent way.
 To put our fruit and other product | into the outside market means organi- zation and hustling more than few cents in freight or express charges. Organize fruit union.

Arizona lands are clean. We have no weeds, compara- lively speaking, such as exist in other countries, where it is a constant fight to keep them from overrunning and chok- ing out the crops. Here we have no "mean pussly," lambs quarter, Spanish needles, careless nor fire weeds, with a thousand or more other troublesome pests that give so much extra labor to the eastern farmer.

TIE Flagstaff Champion seems to be elated because the President vetoed the Maricopa Railroad bill and 'Rahs for the President. Isn't this exhibition of petty sectionalism ill-timed? Coconino county had no more a.dent supporters than the members of the Legislature from Maricopa county, and there was much sympathy here for the measure. That measure will come up before the next Legislature, and our people may not hurrah for it.

Rectal diseases are among the most common
 that affect mankind. The more civilized the
 Nation becomes the more common rectal
 troubles are found to exist. Though the savages
 are not entirely free 1t is not nearly so common
 among them as among their more civilized
 brothers.
 Exposures, constipation and irregularities of
 life are the most common cause of these mala dies. The individual is unable to locate the trouble which gives rise to his vast amount of suffering. His life is burden to him and the patient finds it difficult to earn his or her daily bread or to take any pleasure from life
 have met with patients having all the symp- toms of consumption, who were entirely cured after removing the primary causes found to ex- ist within the Rectum. Among the chief symp- toms are extreme nervousness, a feeling as if one wished to fly away from ones self, irrita- bility of temper, shooting pains through differ. ent parts of the body, weakness of the voice, sore throat, and stomach troubles, and host of other symptoms too numerous to mention.
 All these dificulties are smeneable to treat ment, and with accurate diagnosis and proper means the vast majority of them are curable.
