4 rich and varied table oi contents is
 set before the reader Of the August l number of The North American Re- view. Amid so much that is good 1t is 1 hard to decide what is most attractive.
 No one, of course. will faii to read with interest what that eminent authority, General sherman, has to say about "our Army and Militia, which is the leading article of the number-the leader in order, If not in interest. Gen. eral SheTman's soathing criticisms upon i, the antiquated statutes which still are supposed to govern the army will arrest universal attention. The other most striking feature Of the number consists
 of a brace of articles called forth by the contribution of leading Republican
 I"X. Nj. CD in The Review of July in
 reference to the new rules of the House of Representatives. One of these is
 defense of his own position and that of
 the Honse, by Speaker Reed; the other
 Is furnished by Democratic leader,
 who masks himself behind the pseu-
 donym "Judex." The latter article is
 especially significant, because it SUD-
 perts the Speaker in his contention that
 members pr. sent may be counted as
 part of quorum, while at the same
 time the writer insists that the House
 itself, and not the spe aker, should do
 the counting.

Phenix has made such vigorous kick about the census, and wants her additions counted, n the hopes of showing up as the largest town in the territory, that Tucson has become aroused and wants her suburbs and sd = ditions counted too. It claims that if this were dene, Tucson would show up with population of 7,5o0, thus still outstripping her Salt river neigbbors. 1T additions are Co be counted with their population. Prescott will insist on her numerous we'll populated additions being included in her census, too, which would make 1t close competitor Tor the first place in the territory With whipple, Neyesburg, Brooketo xn, Gim- letville, Goose Flat, Fort Misery, Fleury's addition, BowersvilIe, Dia- mend 10 addition and Dan CampbelPs addition added to Presott's population, it would cover more ground at least, If not showing a greater population than aay other town in the territory.

The Worlds FAIR.

Much interest is now excited at
Washington on the choice of loca-
ton for the holding of the Worlds
Fair A Congressional committee is
hearing the arguments presented to
it by delegates from several cities
competing for the Fair, and for this
purpose the best talking talent is put
forward by the cities seeking to be
designated for the great gathering in
expectancy. Chicago and New York
thus far seem to be in the lead; St.
Louis apparently following next.
Chicago, it is announced. has a sub
scription of SIS, 100000 and the city
estimates that there will be realized
from the sale of privileges, admis-
sions and the sale of material after
the Fair is over So, 900, 900 more, will
be realized, making total of $14,-
900, 900. This is great expenditure
and some people naturally ask what
is the expected equivalent for all
this? Perhaps it will pay. The san
guine ones are sure it will. Some
economists will calculate how many
free librarie it would secure for the
people of this great country; how
many charitable institutions it might
found for the worthy poor. But it
is doubtless believed by thousands
wise, that the gathering of a crowd
of people far surprising in number
ever before seen on the American
Continent, will do more for the
worlds civilization, than the most
extravagant humanitarian has yet
dreamed of.

winter" says the weather prophet.
Various other signs besides those
furnished by beasts and birds are
relied on for prognosticating the
weather. Superstitious beliefs date
back to early history; the site on
which the ancient city Of Rome was
built, and subsequently became the
mistress of the world, was chosen by
signs. The two brothers, Romulus
and Remus, each took his stand on
one of the seven hills Of Rome to
observe the flight of vultures. To
Romulus appeared the most favor
able omen, and there the Eternal
City, stands to-day. Three>quarters
of a century ago the farmers were
ruled by the moon: that mild and in
nocent satellite controlled agricultur-
al operations. The farmer would not
plant his corn, although his grounds
might be ready prepared, if the
moon was unfavorable; it must be in
the new. the first quarter, or in the
full, as the tradition ran. Various
kinds cf grain must be sown when
the moon was in the right phase.
Garden seeds of different kinds had
their proper time for planting regu-
lated by the moon. 1t often hap
pened that the farmer was ready for
a particular kind of work, but the
moon was not III the right quarter,
and so the work had to be delayed
until the moon was right. Times
have changed Old traditions that
ruled with iron sway have for years
been losing their hold.

REGARDING STATE FUNDS.
Capt. Timme's Plan to Create
Bank Observation-Disclosures
sity for a Reform.

1t has been charged that under ex-
listing laws the State Treasurer de-
posts state funds in certain banks,
the interest accrding thereon going
into the pocket of the treasurer.
That State Treasurer Harshaw has
profted by laxity of law has been de-
MED; but that Legislation which will
prevent a treasurer from adding
$4,000 to $4,000 per year to his
annual salary of $1,000, is most de-
sirable. There is no doubt that the
next legislature will be called upon
to consider a bill for this purpose.
Chapter 34I, laws of 1876, pre-
scribes that the State Treasurer
shall receive $1,000 per annum for
his services, and no more. 1t says
nothing as to liability, provides moth
ing as to how deposits shall be made,
and is in every way too scant to ac-
complish what there is no doubt the
legislature had in mind to do. Gov.
Smith recognized this when he called
attention to it, as may be seen on
page 10 of messages and documents
of 1870. He said then to the legis-
lature that if the practice of keeping
funds on deposit in banks was con
trary to the interest of the law, it
was due the treasurer and all con-
,erned that such intent be more def
nitely expressed. No attention was
paid to the suggestion and no action
taken.
Several changes in the law have
been proposed. Secretary Timme,
who has probably given the matter
as much attention was any one, sug-
gests one remedy for the difficulty,
which seems to possess advantages
superior to those Of any other scheme
yet urged. He says the legislature
should pass law creating a COM
mission, consisting of the Governor,
Secretary of the State and State
Treasurer or the Attorney General,
or the purpose of designating GER
tain banks, limited as to number, as

Weather Prophecies.

One Of the common topics for
weeks when friends met was the
weather. Three quarters of a cen
Jury ago the people of this country
were largely controlled by weather
prophecies. The superstitious be-
lief of the influence of the moon in
the industrial avocations, especially
farming, seems almost incredible
when mentioned now. The spirit of
weather prophecy still fingers, but
has lost respect. A few months ago
it was predicted by the weather
prophets that the fall and winter of
1850 and 1890 would be severely
cold; this prediction seemed to be
accepted quite generally. When
asked how the information was OBJ
tainab1e, the answer was not that it
was derived from astronomical cal
culations or scientific observations:
the chief authority for the expected
severe winter came from beasts,
birds and quadrupeds The beavers,
it was said, had constructed their
winter abodes with more than usual
care. Then again the squirrels
were cited as witnesses in timbered
parts of the country, where these an
imals abound and burroW in hollow
trees during the winter where their
supplies of nuts are stored for food.
On discovery, if these supplies were
found ample, tedious winter was
certain to follow, Other animals
ale often referred to indicating the
character of a coming winter. The
wild fowls and birds are referred to
for information Of the character OF
an approaching winter. If the pig
cons and wild geese were seen flying
south in focks earlier than common,
"that's a sign we are to have tough

EVIDENTLY grass grew not under the
feet nor moss upon the tongues Of the
energetic life insurance gentlemen last
year. A total of about $500, 100000
standard new insurance written during
1889 is to be credited to the efforts Of
these tireless workers Much larger
individual amounts are now taken than
formerly, and an average estimate of
$4,000 to each policy written last year
is probably not excessive. This, Of
course, would figure up some $4,000
new insurants, were it not that many OF
the fresh policies were issued to men
already insured, for your old policy hol-
der, especially if he has had an endow-
ment mature and found how good it is
TO himself get his money back besides
having been insured all the time, is
usually one of the readiest subjects for
another essay in the same pleasant di-
rectiou. Perhaps $4,000 new holders
of policies in regular companies would
therefore be reasonable estimate. Az
this rate of progress he who has no life
insurance will in time find himself al
most as isolated as "The Man Without
Country
