What is Rattan?

Every one knows the pretty, light
and graceful chairs and other articles
of furniture made from rattan, but
every one does not know that the ex-
tremely tough and flexible wood
called rattan is that of a climbing
palm-tree. This curious climber
(which is more of a vine than tree)
is one of the singular characteristics
of forest growth in the Celebes and
other Malayan countries. Starting
with trunk as thick as a mans leg,.
it winds through the forests, now
wrapping a tall tree in it's folds, like
some gigantic snake, and then de-
scending again to the earth and trail
ing along in snake-like curves until it
can find some other stately tree to,
fasten and climb upon in it's pursuit of
light and air. The forest is SO thick
and jungle-like thalt seems impossi
BILE to follow the course ofany OF these
serpent climbers; but there is little
boubt that at the last the successful
aspirant, which stopped and cringed
so long below, will be found shooting
uplike flag staff a dozen feet or more
above the tree which has helped it's
rise. A use OF the rattan, which is
unknown to those who have not seen
it in it's native forest, is water car
rier. The thirsty traveller has at all
times a tumbler Of cool, refreshing
water at his command by cutting off
six or eight feet of the rattan and
putting one of the severed ends to
his mouth, or holding it over a dish
to catch the water. Mechanical

A Fathers Fatal Act.

A-nine-months-o child of John
Chapman, of Delmar, Tioga County
Pa, died recently under peculiarly
distressing circumstances. The lit
tie one having very troublesome
time in cutting it's teeth, the father
thinking to relieve it's sufferings, at
tempted to lance the child's gums.
He used a jack-knite and perform
a very bungling operation, cutting
deeply into the gums. He was un-
able to stop the flow of blood and
summoned physician, but he too
was powerless to stop the flow of the
life current and the child breathed,
it's last three days later.

Maguire'S Joke.

From the New York Star.
A good story is afoat in Brooklyn
about Patrick Mcguire, the keeper
Of the Morgue. 'tPat" is q strict
temperance man. In the neighbour
hood of the institution for which he
cares saloon was started, which
soon became hanging-out place for
Objectionable persons. Maguir re
begged the proprietor of the liquor
store to stop the noises in his place
that were so annoying to the residents,
in it's neighborhood. AS these appeals
proved unavailing, he determined on
another plan of crusade. He has a
son, big, strapping fellow, who is
known to everybody in the vicinity
ofthe Morgue as Maguire's assistant
in his CHASTITY duties. One morning,
when there was an unusually noisy
crowd in the Objectionable saloon,
Patrick called his son to him and
ordered him to go to the water cooler
and take the ice from it. When the
lad had obeyed his instructions,
Mcguire said:
snow go over to the saloon and
press your way up to the bar; put
the ice on the counter and say to the
proprietor: There's so many bodies
in the Morgue this morning that this
is all the ice father can spare you"
Young Mcguire did as he was told,
and the trick operated splendidly.
The crowd Of drinkers scattered as if
plague-stricken, ard the place re-
manned deserted until it was learned
that the ice incident was only one of
Maguire's jokes.

Novel Way to Subdue Dogs.

A gentleman who has had a good
deal ofexperience in the management
OF dogs says that the most vicious
brute can be conquered speedily by
any powerful odor, especially a pun
gent Odor like ammonia. He tells
how he once won a wager on hand
ling a dog that few persons could ap-
proach. 1t was in a little town in
Canada. The conversation being on
the subject of dogs, the proprietor
OF the inn where he was stopping
laid wager that his visitor could
not put his hands upon a dog chain
ed up in the back yard.
"All right, said the visitor, "but
as a matter of precaution for the
protection OF my hands will go up
stairs and put on pair OF gloves.
81 put on a pair OF old buckskin
gloves" says the old gentleman tell
ing the story, land saturated the
right hand with ammonia. We then
went out to the dog, and at my ap-
proach he rushed from his kennel
with open mouth. AS soon as he
got within reach I thrust out my
right hand. Instead of biting it he
turned tail and ran into his kennel.
Then | went to the kennel, and, put
ting my hand inside, made him come
out again. The secret of the matter
is that a dog can't bite without
drawing in his breath, and as he does
SO he inhales the ammonia, which
partially suffocates him and subdues
for the time being his biting pro-
pensity. Some dogs may be sub
dued with cologne. New York

 In the carriage room may be arranged a washing stand, which should have connec- tion with sewer or vault. Thus the water from carriage washing is readily disposed of. The receptacle for the water should be cemented and carried in a close drain to its proper outside receptacle. The hay is put in racks from above. These racks, as we'll as the sides of the stalls, should be made of maple Maple, be it known, a horse will not bite or chew.

 cannot think that any material for 6 floor is healthful which may become sat urated with the natural impurities of such a place. A wood floor is not only saturated, but the ground under it becomes foul, and such condition has to certain extent the same effect upon a horse that it has upon human being. The odor from such a stable is well known; it is common and is only tolerated because it comes from a stable. People who have large sums of money invested in horses are as careful of the rooms in which their horses live as they are of the quarters in which they live them- selves Those whose business it is to handle expensive horses are aware that they are subject to malarial and typhoid levers and other illnesses which are due to local causes
 Such owners are very particular about the quality of the water which their horses drink, the temperature of their rooms, and altogether exercise the same high discre- tion observed by an intelligent person who has charge Of human beings In stable which has the impervious floor, the enam- eled tile walls, and, as well, a waterproof plastered ceiling, it is possible to turn a hose on everything and wash it out clean and pure. Particularly is this true when good drainage Is afforded. Being con structed of impervious material, such stable cannot remain damp.
 The best arrangement for a stable where the horses and carriages are in the same building is to have the vehicles on the first floor and the horses on the second. This makes an impervious second floor neces- sary, and, as we'll, an inclined walk way to the second floor. Horses do not object to going up proper incline. This plan al lows the ammonia exhalations to pass out, without possibility of their coming in con tact with the harness or the carriage varnish Such an arrangement is common in large cities where ground is expensive. The writer has seen four story buildings with horses on the three upper floors and vehicles below.
 In the stable plan herewith submitted the conditions of a high character suggest ed above are omitted The carriage house has board floor and the stall rooms a tamped clay floor. It is necessary in a floor of this kind or one of asphalt that the horses stand on bedding and that the stalls slant to little gutter at their rear ~.e carriage room doors are suspended on door hangers from above, and for that reason slide to each side of the opening The door connecting the carriage room and stall room may be on hinges, for the reason that it would be tighter, and 10 a greater extent prevent the passage of ammonia, than if it were a sliding door. The harness room opens into the carriage room, and the bedding receptacle into the store room. It is presumed that the bedding in this in stance would be of sawdust. If straw, it can come from the loft above.

The capital stock of the company is one hundred thousand Q00,000) shares of ten ($l0) dollars each.
 One-half of the capital stock will be sold in the Territory of Arizona, payable in land adapted to the cultivation of sugar beets, sugarcane sorghum and sac charine products at the market price. :.
 The other half will be sold for cash, at not less than par, for the purpose of pur- chasing, importing and erecting machin- cry adapted to manufacturing domestic sugar.
 The fifty thousand shares reserved for the farmers can be paid for at any time within five years from the date of the organization in land or it's saccharine productions, such as sugar beets, sugar cane, sorghum, etc., etc., and the sub scribers will be entitled to draw divi- dend pro rata on payments made.
 The fifty thousand cash shares must be fully paid on delivery, and will be entitled to full dividend semi-annually.
 It is reasonably expected that the company can declare dividend of 25 per cent per annum on current business, and have some land left.
 After the capital stock shall have been disposed of and one-half fully paid in cash, the company will be authorized to issue equal to one-half of the capital stock, bonds secured by mortgage, upon all the property of the company, pay able in twenty years, with interest at the rate of 5 percentum per annum, payable semi-annually, for the purpose of devoting the proceeds to the purchase of land, and for no other purpose; pIo- vided, always, that these bonds cannot be issued nor mortgage on the prop. erty executed without the approval of a majority of the shareholders.
 The Government of the United States offers to pay bounty of two cents per pound or 40 dollars per ton on domestic manufactured sugar, and to admit free of duty, until the first day of July, 1892, all machinery required for it's manu- facture.
 The Territorial Legislature, at its last session, passed an act exempting all land used in the cultivation of sugar beets. as well as the plant and mschin- cry employed in the manufacture of do mestic sugar, from taxation for ten years.
 We imported from foreign countries during the last fiscal year, sugar, mo- lasses, candy and confectionery to the value of $101 ,293, 1926, or sent away up wards of one hundred million dollars, which can be retained at home by en- couraging the manufacture of domestic sugar.
 The average yield of saccharine matter from sugar beets in France is only 6 per cent, in Germany 10 per cent.
 In California the average yield is l5 per cent.
 It is confidentlybelieved that the soil and sun of Arizona will yield much larger polarization from sugar beets than France, Germany, California, or any other country and if these premises are correct, the profits will exceed that of any other sugar factory in the United States

@ THE ARIZONA SUGAR COMPANY o

The farmers who may subscribe to the stock of the company will have vital and personal interest in the production of sugar beets.
 Farmers and capitalists can estimate the chances of loss and gain as well as the directors of the company, but it may be promised that agricultural land free from taxation forms safe investment, and that machinery which can be i'm ported free of duty and enjoys immu- nity from taxation, is only subject to loss by fire, which can be covered by insurance.
 Land in Arizona will produce at least twenty tons of sugar beets per acre, twice annually.
 The market price will depend upon the quantity of saccharine.
 Sugar beets require neither bagging nor storage; but are cash at the mill, and the company might even be able to ad- vance money on unencumbered land de- voted to their cultivation.
 It is matter of consequence in some parts of Arizona that sugar beets ex- tract alkali from the soil better than any other production.
 After supplying the home market in Arizona with sugar, molasses, confec- tions, etc., transportation is the most serious question, and the smaller bulk the production of the country can be reduced into the better for the producer.
 Sugar will bear transportation better than hay, grain, or ores.
 A sugar mill at some railway depot with capacity of 100 tons per day, at $5 per ton for sugar beets, would be a great benefit to the farmers and mer- chants of Arizona.
 The cooperative system of offering the farmers one-half of the capital stock payable in the productions required for the mill has worked we'll in Germany and France, and in fact the cooperative system in every country is the out growth of civilization.
 The farmers interest in the company will be a guarantee to the nonresident shareholders of vigilant watchfulness over the management. and by united ef- fort staple production may be intro duced in Arizona which will enliven the source of all permanent prosperity AGRICULTURE.
 It is not to be overlooked that after the saccharine matter is extracted from sugar beets the residium forms excellent food for sheep, cattle, hogs, poultry, etc., and nothing that comes from the soil is wasted.
 The cultivation of sugar beets may be carried on by the least intelligent labor. Indians, Mexicans, children may all be employed in transplanting the beets and gathering the crop. Only the mill re. quires intelligent labor.
 Sugar industries are being started in many States of the Union less adapted by nature to the growth of saccharine products than Arizona, and an effort or the part of the residents may encourage assistance from abroad.

 on an Important Subject.


 on an Important Subject.
 It costs relatively large sum of money to build really good stable. The ideal conditions, if carried out, involve large ex- penditures. However, with an ordinary house which has stable on the back end of the lot, the stable is generally very cheap. It costs from $350 to s6OO. The sketch here given is for stable of moder- ate cost, and involves the use of small sum of money, say s400 or $500
 In the ideal stable the foundation would be of stone until it was above grade The walls would be of brick of the ordinary kind on the outside, and those on the in- side would be of enameled brick. The carriage floor would be of concrete. and stall room and stalls of an impervious asphalt. The carriage room and stall rooms would either be detached or have an air tight separation. It would be better to have them detached and only connected by & covered way Thus the carriages and harness would not be injured by the am- monia cxhalations from the natural offal of stall room. There are those who will say that wood floor is superior to one of asphalt, clay or other material

A Prominent Georgian Writes to
the President

In Response to Request for InfOrma-
tiOn-Last Year She Used One-Fourth
the Cotton Consumed in the United
States and Produced 1000, 900 of the
0,OOO,OOO Tons of Iron.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 0.-Hon, Patrick
Walsh, of Georgia, president of the Au-
gusta exposition, has written a letter to
President Harrison in response to re-
quest for information in regard to the
industrial progress of the south, in
which he says
'"The south is developing rapidly, and
manufacturing possibilities cannot
- exaggerated. The souths cotton
mills used last year over 100000 bales of
the 9, 100000 consumed in the United
States. In 1880 the south took only
10000 bales. OF the 100000 tons of
iron produced last year the south con
tributed 1900, 900 tons, or more than the
entire production of the Union in 1860
England fell behind our country last
year 5000 tons. 1t is one of the most
encouraging evidences of the south's in
dustrial progress that she produced last
year nearly one-fourth the amount of
the iron produced in Great Britain. The
figures given are approximately correct.
The south's future for the manufacture
of cotton is assured. Her production Of
iron and the manufacture thereof afford
profitable fields for investment"
