SCHOOL TAX.

The following letter although pre- sumedly self explanatory, needs little explanation:
 To THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF PIMA
 COUNTY, ARIZONA TERRITORY. GENTLEMES:-
 In accordance with Sec. go, of the school law of the territory, Sec. 1C6 of the same law have the honor to furnish you with ths minimum amount of school funds needed for the ensuing year for this county. I find that the different districts are entitled to sixty-ive (65) teachers at five hundred (50O dollars each which amounts to thirty-two thousand five hundred (32,5OO) dollars.
 Respectfully yours,
 [Signedl J.S. WooD.
 TUcsoN, August l, 1891.
 To begin with, the amount of school funds in the hands of the county treas ursr on July l, 1891, was S5, ,22663. This was at the end of the scholastic year and stood to the credit of the several districts in the county in sums varying from s2l to $667. This amount it must be understood WAS an existing surplus over and above all the yearly expenses. To this s5,226.6s must be added the total income of the current year under the present school levy of 58 cents on each slOO of the s4.0S0,OO0 turned in on the assessment roll of the county for 1891. VIZ, s23,6o4. To thIs must be added the $l200 or more that will be received from gambling licenses, s2,0OO, poll taxes and S9oo, territorial apportionment fund, making a sum total of s32 ,9306S for the year ending June 30th, 1892.
 The expenses of the county schools for the year ending June 30, 1891, were S25,- 63l40. This will, granting that the ex- pensee of the current year are not more than they were for 1891, leave a surplus of nearly S7.300. The margin to draw on is certainly wide one without the additional tax levy being laid that iE contemplated.
 The school law Bs it now stands ap- portions $500 for each 15 or 50 census school children, according to the number in the distrlct. Districts with 10 chil' dren and under l5, s400; districts witL 5 aud under 10. s250. According to rating the county is entitled to 65 teachers at $500 each. If this number of teachers be employed the entire fund will be absorbed in salaries and nothing left for contingent expenses unless the super. visors take money from the general fund or levy the additional tax to tax that is already fairly developed. As there are but 20 districts in the county, and two of those only-Tucs0n and Nogalei need more than one teacher, We do no see where at least 20 or s6oO0 worth o them can be placed.
 The CITIZEN is a stickler fo the public schools of the count!

the public school system of the United States is the grandest thing cn ssrsh-but we do not believe in adding to our present taxation merely for the purpose of having large surplus fund on hand, or. in mourning expenses simply because there is money in the box to pay them. If the schools need more money than the present income for their support, let proper showing be made, but if the fund is sufficient to meet all legitimate expenses more should not be incurred.

The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1891-02-25

AT no time in her busy days is an in
telligent mother so apt TO fold the arms
and close the eyes of maternal justice
as when she is cross--simpy and I'M
doubtedly cross. This crossness is
chiefly caused by fatigue-weariness
of mind and body, and sometimes OF
soul. With tired nerves and weary
body she can not endure the common
demands made upon her, and ill-temper
follows. She sows bitter feelings and
repes loving attentions with her
irritable hastv words. Broadly speak.
ing, no mother has any right to get so
tired. She can not afford it. 1t takes
too much out of her life and too much
out of her children's life. Such con-
dition can more frequently be pre-
vented than is generally believed.
The careless or shallow woman says:
81 was overworked. 1t made me
cross" and she considers that admis-
sion the sufficient reason and excuse
for any amount of similar indulgence.
The religious or sympathetic woman
worries over it, prays over it, sheds
bitter tears-and then the trouble re-
peats itself. The remedy lies near at
hand. Let a mother find out what
makes her cross and then let her avoid
the cause if possible. If social pleas
ures weary her, let them be decidedly
lessened. If there is too much sewing,
too much cooking, or too many house
hold cares, lessen them. 1T economical
efforts cause the severe strain, stop
economizing at such cost. That is
the worst of wastes. Let the first
economy be of that precious commod'
ity, mothers strength. Even the ex.
tent of ones religious and philan
thropic work should be carefully exam.
ined, and if the trouble lies there
calmly and wisely dismiss some or all
of it from the list of duties, for "what
doth it profit man if he gain the
whole world and lose his own soul?''
1t is surprising how easily seeming in
terests or needs can be spared without
injury to the home life whenever the
thoughtful woman seeks to find them
and surely one of the worst of house
hold influences is a mothers cross

Hints to HOusekeepers.

NEVER throw away the pieces of
lemons after they have been squeezed
with the lemon squeezrr. They will
come in handy for removing the stains
from the hands and other articles.
Dipped in salt, they will scour copper
kettles nicely, and remove stains from
brass work. They will take stains and
dirt and odor from pans and kettles as
nothing else will. The odor of fish and
onions can thus be removed easily.
THE warm night wrappers now made
of soft wool stockinette are especially
welcome in travelling on the ocean or
across the country in winter. The
wrappers made of blanketiag are also
useful, and in cold nights. where one is
uncertain of heat, may be worn over an
ordinary cotton gown with comfort.
They are also boon to an invalid. The
blankets to make these wrappers are to
be found in great variety of plain
cOlors with striped borders, and in
stripes and plaids. The silvery gray
blankets with pale blue borders are es'
pecially dainty and pretty.

Henry M. Stanley.

John ROwlands, now known all over
the civilized world as Henry M. Stanley,
first saw the light in little cottage I'M
der the shadow of Denbigh Castle, in
Denbighshire, Wales, IN 1910. The
boys father died when he was only two
years old, and his mother, who was very
poor, sent him to the St. Asaph's work
house. In 1866 he escaped from the
workhouse and found his way to Liver
pool where he shipped as a cabin boy
on a sailing vessel to New Orleans.
There he obtained employment with a
Mr.. III. M. Stanley, who took great
fancy to the lad and adopted him. Civ
ing him his own name. A few years
later he died without making a will and
young Stanley was once more turned
adrift on the world. During the civil
war he joined the Confederate army
and was taken prisoner at Pittsburg
Landing, but succeeded in escaping by
swimming across the Tennessee. The
young man now made his way back to
Liverpool and worked in brokers' Of
flee, but his restless spirit soon sent
him again to the New World. This time
he landed in New York. The war was
still in progress and he joined the Fed
eral forces, existing. in the flagship
TicOnderoga. On one occasion he swan
under shower of bullets, from his
ship, distance of five hundred yards,
and attached a line to ii Confederate
steamer and secured her for prize.
He was made an officer for this act of
bravery. In 1866 he made trip to
Asia Minor, and the next year was
Indian war correspondent for the
Ne'0 York Tribune, then foreign CORE
spJndent for the Ne,o York Herald.
He was sent to Ably ssinia during the
war between King Theodore and the
English. Here he met with great sue
cess. His account of The fall of Mag
dala was published in the Herald
twenty-four hours before the official
news reached the English government.

Thank the Children.

They run on our errands, upstairs for
our books or slippers, our thimbles, our
new magazines; downstairs to tell the
servants this thing or that; over the
way to carry our messages; to the post
Office with our letters and parcels.
They leave their play or their work a
dozen times in morning to do some
thing to oblige us who are grown-up,
bigger, stronger, and apt to be less alb
sorbingly occupied than they. No
game of politics, or business in later
life, will ever be so important to the
man as ball and top to the little lad
and no future enjoyment of the little
girl will ever be greater in degree and
in kind than her present interest in her
dolls and playhouse; yet Johnnie and
Jennie fly at our bidding, arresting
themselves in mid-career of the play
which is their present work, and alas
half the time we quite overlook our
own obligation to be grateful. We do
not say Il thank youP' And because
we do not say it, we make. it difficult
for our children to be polite, as SIM
ply courteous, as otherwise they would
be by nature, and the imitation which is
second nature to all children.-The

How Clothes Should Be Worn.

Men who are critical about the APP
pearance of their wives are sometimes
painfully Indifferent about their own
clothes and the way they are worn. A
very good suggestion as to the way
clothes should be put on and worn is
made by tailor's journal: {" If coat
is not drawn up close to the neck, it
bags or sets loosely in the neck; and if
drawn up too high at the neck, it hangs
away at the waist. If not buttoned
when made to be worn so, it naturally
presents an untidy appearance; and if in
any way it is carelessly or indlfferently
put on, it fails to look like the same coat
as if donned with care and brought close
to the body at the neck, at the waist, at
the eyes, etc. Before putting on an over
coat, the undercoat should should be
first buttoned, then the overcoat drawn
up closely to the neck, and the under
coat pulled well down. When sitting
down, the pantaloons should be drawn
up 10 avoid bagging at the knees"

A Warming to DOg.Owners.

Possessors of canine pets will do well
to take warning from certain recently
reported observations of Professor
Nothnagel. These 60 to prove that the
development of cysticerci in the human
subject is in some cases to be attributed
to contact with the saliva of lapdogs
which have been allowed to lick the faces
and mouths of their owners. The ex
PLANTATION is a feasible one, and adds a
noteworthy contribution TO our knowl-
edge of morbid etiology. The tenia
echinococcus, as is well known, in
habits the small intestine of the dog,
and it is highly probable that the ova
occasionally find their way into the ami
malls mouth; for example, in vomiting.
There are various aesthetic reasons why
the kiss of even the most clearly and
most friendly pug or terrier should be
dispensed with. We have now, thanks
to the Viennese observer, still stronger
argument to urge against this practice.
1t may, indeed, like the others, fail to
daunt the too-devoted master or mis-.
tress, but we can not do less than avail
ourselves of this opportunity to fore

Finley Acker, the well-known Phila-
delphian, claims that pound of tea
will furnish three hundred cups of
liquor if it is made properly. If this is
fact-and Mr.. Acker ought to know if
any one does-tea is the cheapest bev-
erage except water within the reach of
the poor man. He gives the following
directions for preparing tea 80 as to give
the best results in point of quantity as
well as quality: " Put the tea leaves

time the tea will be perfect, and il you

Animal Instinct.

Animals are grateful for kindness,
and remember those who have shown
a tenderness for them. You have all
heard of the great animal painter, Rosa
Bonheur. When she was painting one
of her pictures she had beautiful lion
and lioness at her home in the country
OF course they were confined, but this
gifted painter made friends with them
while she studied their movements and
anatomy. When she needed them no
longer she gave them to the Jardin des
Plantes, which is to Paris what the
Central Park is to the children of New
York. Whenever the painter goes to
their cage they give every evidence of
Joy, and come to the bars and thrust
their noses through for her to touch
them. How happy she must be at this
evidence of their kindly remembrance

Remedy for Burns.

A celebrated German remedy Tor
burns is made as follows: Take hfteen
ounces of the best white glue, break
into small bits and soak in quart of
water until soft. Then dissolve by
means of water-bath, and add two
ounces of glycerine and six drains of
carbolic acid; continue the heat until
thoroughly dissolved. On cooling, this
hardens to to an elastic mass covered
with a shining, parchment-like skin,
and may be kept for any length of time.
When required for use, it is placed for
a few minutes in water-bath until
sufficiently liquid, and applied by means
of broad brush. 1t forms in about
two minutes a shining, smooth, flexible
and nearly transparent skin. This
preparation costs but trifle, and is
easily kept at all times ready for use.
