matter of history that the bewitching Julias,
Claudias and others who figured as heroes
of ancient Rome applied unguents, cos
metics, paints and powders to their COM
plexions. The Cleopatras and other fair
ones of old were wielders OF the hare's foot
and powder-puE Jezebel was probably but
emulating the fashions of the day when she
painted her face and tired her head.
Nowadays the scientific improvem entl
of the age with regard to lighting arrange
ments, in fact, have necessitated q certain
amount of artificial coloring. One does net
care to have ones artistic susceptibilities
offended BY the sight of over-forid faces, or
hollow eyes and psllid cheeks above perfect
toilets, whose harmonious coloring is so dis
tinctly displayed by the electric light, nor
is there any reason why the rough patches
made by the winds rude fingers should be
allowed to disfgure q more or less velvety
skin when the powder puff's artiul aid can
be called into requisition to remedy the de-
feet.
IT HAS BECOME 4 DUTY.
"We live IN an age when we expect every
thing to look its best, and woman, above all
else, owes it as her duty to society to show
herself off to the best advantage, even
though she has to depend wholly upon her
dressmaker and hairdresser to bring about
that desirable end"
The actress was at the actors fund matt
nee, and on every side were heavily daubed
soubrettes, emotionals and other fair ones OF
the stage. "Of course" she continued, sit
isn't desirable that the broad effects suitable
for the footlights should be adopted In the
unsparing light of day. II these actresses
off duty would be advised ON such matter
they would find that q thinner application
of blanc de perle, lighter hand with the
hare's foot, and less Cimmerian blackness
of the eyes will serve their purpose better
than their bold but crude treatment OF their
faces. Women apparently arrange their
complexion, to suit their toilets or the state
of the weather, and one may observeiheresa
strange variety OF powder hues. There is a
deadly white against which the red and
black of lips and eyes have a clown-like
effect; there is a cream or yellowish tinge,
adapted Tor gloomy days. and which tones
effectively with dark toilets; a decidedly
pink shade, which, with the rouge, makes a
symphony in red; and finally an unmistak-
able blue, the precise object Of which is not
apparent. These are the backgrounds on
which the coloring is applied. and In this
latter the only variation is that in some
cases IL assumes Qulls la0eo nue., the re-
suit of frequent use, while in others it has
all the aggressive redness of q boiled lob
ster. They needn't be more natural, but
more artistic"

ONLY ONE CONCLUSION.

Now divide this by g. and we find that
the average living expenses Of the five per-
sons were $23 "a q week. and that the hus-
band might possibly save s6 16 per week
from his salary of $50. This would amount
to about $500 year, or in ten years, with
interest, to some 81, A,000-enough to buy a
nice little home, and provided always that
there is little sickness in the family and not
a heavy expenditure for furniture, carpets,
distant visits, etc.
From the two instances given it is seen
that single man can live we'll on $40 or
$12 week, and married man with three
children on $50 week, and both save money
until one marries, and the others chill
dren grow up. The question is often asked,
how can a man support family on S12 a
week? he can't, except bv observing the
very strictest economy, leaving all luxuries
BY the wayside and denying himself and
his wife OF much that seems at first thought
necessary, for the children's sake.
The man on $50 a week with family OF
four besides himself-about the average size
of families ten years estsblished-may seem
to have "iat" thing, but cast your eyes
over the figures given above again and see
for yourself that he wears poorer clothes,
has fewer pleasures and perchance poorer
food than the single man on S12 week.
It isn't 20 "fat" after all W. A. T.

This string of figures has grown long, so
let us stop here to glance at the manner in
which this married man is dressed. 1t will
be seen that his clothing costs him some sol
less than that of the single young man,
though his salary is one and one-half times
greater. His clothes are all ready-made,
and he made last years light overcoat do
service this year. On all sides be econo-
mizes. His wife is really we'll dressed; that
is she looks so. She wears a seal cloth coat
that cost S45, but as she gets three years
service from it, he gives me but $16 as one
years expenditure in that direction. She
makes all her own and the children s
dresses, and the 30 yards of cotton cloth
charged to her, he tells me, is used to make
much of her own and the little ones under
garments. He gets all footwear at cost
price, saving little there.
Now that we have got the cost of clothing
this family of five persons, let's take up their
living expenses. The gentleman lives In
the suburbs because he can ipd better

less money than down town. His children,
too, get plenty of good air and have room
to play, while the school facilities are as
good a. elsewhere. He gives me his living
expenses as follows:

eur that sat on q doorstep with O small,
ragged, snub-nosed boy. The little yellow
dog had watched the approach of the poodle
with great interest, cooking his head on one
side and glancing up at his diminutive
master to see if he had discovered the i'm
pressive sight.
When the poodle came opposite he turned
his head and gave short glance at the yell
low dog. The latter wagged his tail, and
seemed to wait for an invitation to introduce
himself But the poodle ignored him, and
was passing on in his majesty without a
second glance. This was too much for the
little yellow dog. He was evidently proud
spirited, and was determined not to be
humiliated in that style before the cold
world. He pattered out to the poodle and
confronted him. Then, as the patrician
animal lifted his nose into the air and con-
temptuously shifted, the yellow dog jumped
at the blue ribbon on the others collar.
With little shake OF the head he pulled
out the bow and then dragged the ribbon to
his master on the step. That worthy howled
with rage.
"wot yer do that fur, Smoker Aint yer
got no sense2 Gimme dat ribbon"
The boy fercely tore the ribbon away from
his dog, gave the poor little fellow a slap
side of the head, and then ran to the young
lady TO restore her poodle's bow. The girl
was smiling, and, taking piece of money
from her purse, gave il to the boy, and then
went over and tied the blue ribbon round
tie neck of the little yellow cur. A few
minutes later the boy and his dog were 60
ing up street, the dog seemingly doing his
best to initiate the jaunty trot oil the con-
ceited French poodle.

that he is receiving $25 week instead of
$12. He is dressed comfortably, too.

You will notice that he paid 81 30 for the
un6ershirt he has on. For that price an Al
article can be bought His shirts are made
of New York mills cotton and have good
linen bosoms. He told me that he manages
to get 75-cent shirt for 30 cents by buying
them at time when some one Of the big
stores has marked such garments down. The
balance of his outfit cost about the usual
prices paid by young men. I did not ask
him how he expended the $12 for
amusemerts, but if he goes to the
theater he can get good seat for 30 cents.
Thus he could accompany lady friend IL

PREsCoTT gave to Hon. George w. Cheyney splendid reception. All old feelings that may have existed were for gotten in @ unanimous desire that Arizona should reach prosperity by falling into the column of Republican Territories. Populations of leading citizens in carriages met him at the depot with the band from Whipple Barracks and escorted him to the hotel. A large and enthusiastic meeting, graced by the presence of large number of ladies, was held in the evening. Short and stirring addresses were made by Chairman T. J. Butler, G. w. Cheyney, J. M. w. Moore and M. G. Stewart, who were followed in convincing Republican argument by E. w. Wells. The meeting was closed in a pithy speech by F. M. Mur- phy. The last named made an appreci- able hit when he read the ten questions propounded to Mark Smith by the Re- publican party and asked why he had made no answer to them. Suc- cess is not only certain in Yavapai for both Territorial and county tickets, hut positive assura nces are not wanting that the Republican majority will be an unprecedented one.

WHILE rehearsing what he claims to have done for Arizona, Mark Smith never draws comparisons between the appropriations made for Arizona and those obtained for other Territories. No, comparisons are odious. They would show that Arizona, during Mark Smiths occupancy of the office of dele gate, has not been given tithe of the national appropriations that have been secured for other Territories. Arizona has been neglected, though needy in the extreme. Not a public ediiice is within her borders. Yet Marcus A. Smith prates about the work he has done. Pah!

How does c. Meyer Zulick explain the little circumstance that he appointed John Marion and number of other dummies to Territorial offices during the session of the Fourteenth Legislature and then, after that Legislature had ad- iourned, by a prearranged plan received the resignations of these dummies and ap- pointed his own personal tools to office :? Would such an action savor of honesty or good public policy? Why he did not present the names of his satellites at first was for the well understood reason that the Legislative Council, though Democratic, would have rejected the names as those of persons deemed un- worthy of the offices. Yet, with all his fnesse, he slipped mp in one instance. He had appointed Cameron King to be Commissioner of Immigration, with an agreement that the office should be re- signed by him as soon as the Legislature adjourned. Zulick had "staked out" that particular billet for his gem eral iactotum and Private Secretary No. l, Tom Parish. On the strength of the promise Tom came to Phoenix and bought the Gazette, which paper was to be run as a Zulick organ and be partially maintained by the salary of Commissioner Of Immigration. We'll, Cameron King was no fool, was not spotted with fly specks, at any rate. lie did not have any particular regard for his word and kept the position in spite of the frantic efforts of the Zulick- Parish gang to dislodge him. Still, out he did go, finally, and into office Tom Parish went. This is only one of the many discreditable tricks played by this political charlatan, Zulick, yet it is fair sample of his roguery.
