The Rescue Hose company No. dis
banded at their meeting last evening, af.
ter dividing the money in the treasury
among the members, and turned owe,
the house keys, cart and other city prop
erty to the chief of the fire department
The Wideawske Hook & Ladder com.
pany will probably adopt similar course
in few days, and other companies
promise to follow suit unless the council
grants certain demands the companies
will make. One of these is to provide a
man or men permanently at each of the
hose houses. as well as to put in an elec-
trio alarm, etc.
Without stopping to comment on the
fairness or unfairness of the demands, il
is sufficient TO cay that the city of Rock
Island is in such predicament as any
city of the size of this deserves to be that
relies upon volunteer firemen, and ex-
poets of them the same service that il
would of paid and reliable department.
Rock 1slard has treated its volunteer
firemen very fairly. All the companies
have received everything they have asked
for except the Rescu IS. and they have
asked no favors, but have not failed
nevertheless to respond promptly to
alarms and to do faithful and valuable
service when there. 1t is fact as has
been said, that Rock Island has dealt with
| It's volunteer firemen handsomely, and
| the firemen have done the best they could
| to manifest their appreciation of all con-
slderations shown them. Furthermore
they are right in petitioning for an cleo
trio alarm. The department is neither
complete nor reliable without it.
But it is time now to call a halt and to
have change. For little more of an
outlay than it would cost to satisfy the
volunteers, Rock Island could put in a
paid department with electric alarm and
other requirements. 1t is time this should
be done. Three companies of four men
each and chief can cover the entire CITY
The city has the hook and ladder truck
aud can get the Franklin hose cart reason
ably. One more cart like it and all that
will be necessary is to put in the alarm
system. The best and the only true policy
for the city is the one long advocated by
the ARGUs-disband the volunteers and
equip paid department. 1t is the only
safe, sure and the only economical way
of disposing of the present question.

TIE Albuquerque Citizen well says: "The Citizen must continue to protest against the policy which the War De- partment is now pursuing of leaving the Navajo country without sufficient pro- lection. While we have no desire to create the impression that there is dan ger of general outbreak by the Indians of that tribe-and do not believe there is-we still have the best of reasons for thinking that & good many individual members of the tribe, especially among the younger men, would like nothing better than an opportunity to make an occasional foray upon the settlers in the adjoining country, and the withdrawal of all the cavalry in that part of the country gives them that opportunity. And even if they should not consider it discreet to engage in warlike practices 'on their own hook,' the absence of a sufficient force to restrain them and keep them at home, give them very great temptation to leave their reserva- tiOh 1OA NhO pNi POoS VI yoihiiS oOhiS Oi the trides to the north of them. The Utes in Colorado are known to be dis satisfied, and ready to break out as soon as they can see their way clear to do so. The withdrawal of the troops from the Navajo country will encourage and em- bolden them, and if they should deter mine to take the warpath it would be impossible to prevent very consider able number of the young Navajos from joining them. There is no sure way to maintain peace with the Indians-even with the friendly tribes-except to maintain sufficient force in sight of them to let them see that the Govern ment is able and ready to suppress any hostile demonstration that may be made, and to punish those that take part in it, and such force is not at present to be found In the Southwest. If the Secretary of War has not men enough in his little army to protect our portion of the frontier without exposing other portions, it is time for him to ask Congress to give him more force.

THERE are many other places in Ari- zona other than the valleys of the Salt and Gila, where farming can be success fully prosecuted. Not the growth of citrus fruits, of course, but the more homely, yet profitable, growing of grain, potatoes, deciduous fruits, etc. Cochise and Yavapai Counties, by reason of their excellent location upon main arteries of railway travel, ought now to be supplying the East with the very best quality of Irish potatoes.

Beaten to a Mummy.

The phrase ''beaten to a mummy has
been familiar to me from my youth up,
and l have always understood it as
equivalent TO beaten to jelly. Does it
not refer to the medicinal substance
formerly known as mummy, which kept
its place in our dispensatories until pretty
late in the last century? 1t was vari-
ously composed and not always of the
same cnnsistence, but its general appear
ance would probably resemble that of
soft pitch.
l speak now of the spurious kinds,
which were doubtless most common.
Even the genuine sorts were not, how
ever, necessarily Egyptian. Penicher,
in his ''Traite des Embaumemens" par
is, 1699), gives directions for the compo-
sition of mummy from human flesh ex-
pressly for medicinal purposes. He rec
onmends certain parts only of the body
to be used, and these to be dried, macer-
ated and spiced out of all likeness to
their natural condition. Mummy so
prepared entered into great variety of
''balms' and other medicaments, for
which Penicher in his concluding chap
ter gives recipes from old writers.
Some of these have the consistence of
oil, others that of an ointment 1t is
clear, from the references in Mares, that
in our own country mummy and its
preparations were well known, and from
the make mummy of my fesh," which
Mares quotes from an old play, to
"beaten to mummy is natural and
an easy step.-Notes and Queries.

A Clever Act,

Don't pick it up, Alice; its ruined be-
yond redemption" said one of two ladies
to the other while about to cross Fulton
street at Broadway, on a recent rainy
day. The younger of the two had
dropped dainty cambria handkerchief
into the black mud of the gutter.
Nonsense, Amelia" replied the young
lady; do you think I'm going to leave
it there?' But before she could reach it
a young man pushed through the crowd
and dexterously lifted the handkerchief
from its miry bed. He gave it shake
that made it shed some of the mud, and
while the ladies looked on in gratifed
surprise he took an envelope out of his
pocket and deftly inserting the bit of
cambria handed it to the younger lady.
Then with bow he disappeared in the
hurrying throng. After the ladies had
crossed the street Alice glanced at the
envelope and exclaimed: "Amelia,
there's an address on it." If Alice is ro-
mantle the young man may regain his
envelope inclosed in scented note of
thanks. and then-who knows?-New
York Times.

Old Fm.hioned watch chains.

Among the presents showered on
blnshing brides this season figures the
old fashioned watch chain, more than a
yard long. After many years of sus-
pending watches from chatelaines. from
short chains hanging from brooch and
from ribbons secured by mOnograms;
after wearing them in breast pockets or
tucked into the bosoms of dresses with
short chain pendants, after carrying
them in leathern straps or slipped into
the clasp of bag or using them as dec
orations for the handles OF parasols and
umbrellas, card cases and portemon-
uaies, as clasps for bracelets or concealed
beneath miniature in brooch OF be-
hind the heart of a floral pin-fashion
has gone back to the ancient style of
chain thrown ;--ound the neck that our
mothers and grandmothers affected.
The new chains are very fine and gen
orally are divided at intervals of three
or four inches by pearls, turquoises or
garnets, strung like beads, or by small
diamonds, rubies, sapphires or moon
stones, set clear.
As for the watch it is hidden in the
folds Of the dress or carried in side
pocket. 1t is small in size, and the back
should be encircled or entirely incrusted
with gems similar to those on the chain.
One very handsome watch and chain
that saw the other day among the
dainty trifles Of bridal corbeille was
ornamental with both rubies and dia-
monds. The stones were set alternately
between short lengths of the chain and
formed spiral on the back of the
watch.-Paris Cor Jewellers Weekly.
