Bro. Zcigcnfuss has been here, and here is what he truthfully says in the Fresno Republican: "Thcre is a disposition to ridiculc the pre- tensions of Yuma, Arizona, in an agricultural way. Those who have seen the oranges, lemons, pine apples, sugar bcets and other pro- ducts of the soil which the valley of the Colorado and the delta of the Gila have yielded from year to year mak; no such mistake. These valleys are as fertile as that of. the Nile, and all the semi-tropiCal pro
 ducts prosper amazingly. A few years more, and the so-callcd dcs- ert will be 8 myth.

The best table grapes are the Chasselas, Fontaineblcau and Sweetwater. The Muscat is very popular i'll the Atlantic cities. The Black Moroccos and Comichon are very prolific, very early, good keepers, popular and in great de- mand everywhere and among the best for Arizona. The Almeria is by far the best to keep. The Flam- ing Tokay comes next. These ale probably the most desirable and popular grapes in the market. More of the Almcria's arc inn ported from Spain than any other variety. It should be thoroughly tried in this Territory as it can be kept. and is perfectly fresh for weeks.

We are all acquainted with the ideal girl.
If we are not, it is our own fault. Most
of our popular papers and magazines are
continually publishing articles entitled
"Iints for girls" What girl should
learn" GLOW girls should behave" In
these little hOmilies-chiefly written by
men, l beleye-the ideal girl is portrayed
in glowing COlOrs. She possesses every at
traction of body, mind, and soul. We are
most grateful for the suggestion. We are
DESTROYS to improve. We heartily wei
come all "hints' and "helps" that are re-
ally such, but we miss the ideal boy. He
has certainly been grievously neglected.
We have carefully perused many paper,
only to find him tucked away into obscure
corners, few and far between" 1t is in
view of this strange oversight that we Of
fer the following suggestions.
In the first place, the ideal boy is a boy,
not girl--not a grl-hoy, nor flop, nor prig,
but genuine boy, as nature intended him
to be. He is full of animal spirits, over
flowing with fun, realizing as no one else
can the intense delight of living. He eX-
ults in his height and weight, proudly eXhib-
its his muscle to admiring friends, glories
in the size of his feet. He knows how to
swim and row; he can hunt and fish; he
runs and jumps like an athlete, and under
stands tennis and base ball.
In the second place, the ideal boy is a
manly boy. He scorns to do mean thing.
He does not think it necessary to manliness
to smoke or chew tobacco. He does not
use language that he would rather his
mother should not hear. He never sees
the fun in tormenting helpless animal or
little child. He is a champion of the
poor and oppressed everywhere. Like
brave Sir Galahad,
His strength is as the strength of ten
Because his heart is pure
The ideal boy is a polite boy, if it is true
that
