Fort Rhipple.

Orders h y been e;eived in the last few days at Whipple from the war department, at Washington, cancelling all.contracts entered in- to on the part of the military, affect tng the hay, grain, wood and other supplies used at Fort Whipple. It is also stated that the 9th Infantry will leave that post early the com ing month for their New York sta- tiOn, and that the order abolishing Whipple will then be made known. A detachment of troops only will be left to care for the property that remains after being sold at auction or otherwise disposed of. A half dozen Prescott merchants who have contracts furnishing the different articles used there, have also re- ceived instructions to at once dis continue the delivery of the same. It may then, be plainly given out that a post around which in the past ever will cluster in memory many a good deed of the military to the civilian in fat contracts and soft snaps, is at last to go. We can spare you, but we regret lt.-Jour- nal Miner.

Some experiments were recently made in a battalion of Prussian Infantry in instructing dogs to hunt the wounded on the field battle. The manner of training them was as follows: Men intended to sim. ulate the wounded lay down in the brushwood, face downward, and remain immovable. The dogs of the battalion were then dispersed to hunt for the wounded men. As soon as they discovered a prostrate soldier, they placed themselves be- fore him and parked until they at- tract the attention of the men with the filters, refusing to leave until these responded to their appeal Revue Scientifque.

The Highest Type of Civilization.

This is the best government ant
 this is the best country ill the world
 The citizens of this republic are, ol
 the average, better clothed and fec
 and educated than any other peo
 pie. They are fuller of life, more
 progressive, quicker to take advan' tage of the forces of nature than any other of the children of men
 Here the burdens of government are liphtest. the responsibilities of the individual greatest, and here, with out doubt, are to be worked out the most important problems of social science. Here, in America, is finer sense of what is due from man to man than you will find in other lands. We do not cringe to those whom chance has crowned, We stand erect. Our sympathies are strong and quick. Generosity is al- most a national failing. The hand of honest want is rarely left un6ll- ed. Great calamities open the hearts and hands of all. Here you will find Democracy in the family, Republication by the fireside. Say what you will, the family is apt to be patterned after the government. If king is at the head of a nation, the husband imagines himself the monarch of the home. In this coun- try, we have carried into the family the idea on which the government is based. Here husbands and wives are beginning to be equals. The highest test of civilization is the treatment of women and children. By this standard, America stands first among the nations. There is a magnitude, a scope, a grandeur, about the country, an amplitude that satisfies the heart and the i'm We have our &ults and our virtues, but our country is the best. No American should ever write a lire that can be sneeringly quoted by an enemy of the great republic.-Argonaut.

A Warming.

A. Bauer, owner of cattle ranch
 in Sulphur Springs valley, Arizona
 passed through the city last night
 on his return from Kansas City
 where he disposed of two train l loads of three and four year old
 steers, which he previously shipped
 from his ranch expecting to realize much better prices there than offer ed at home. Unfortunately the eastern market was dull, and the steers only brought $1.S5 per hun dred pounds, netting him the small sum Of S4 per head. Before he had rounded up his steers to be shipped to Kansas City, he was of- fered $15 per head, difference of $11 to. him had he accepted the price, He is returning home very sad man, but his experience is doubtless worth something.
 The above from the Albuquerque Citizen was told to MT. Bauer who is back in Tombstone and he corro- borated the facts although he goes a step further and says he did not realize $4 net but less than that. He believes that he was the victim of conspiracy. His cattle were weighed and sold in his absence. The weight was given at 100000 pounds and the price at $1.85 per hundred. They were in the yards four days before being sold.
 He also complains of the charges along the road belng unwarranted. One charge against him was for $6O for hay at Deming whereas the cat tie did not have a spear at that point. Mir. Bauer warns cattlemen to beware of getting caught in any such trap as he was. He found other cattlemen there who were even in worse plight than he fonnd himself, going around crying over their losses. Mir. Bauer's cat tie were an extra fine bunch, some of the steers being As and even 5s in splendid order, the balance be- ing 2s and 3s.-Prospector.

Perhaps one of the most unique and remarkable institutions in the world is the "Bone Circulation Li- brary," an attachment of the Col lege of Physicians and Surgeons, New York City. In this room, which is fitted up with shelves, cases, etc., just as any other library room, are hundreds of thousands of human bones of all size, shapes and forms. The bones, which are numbered and labelled, are placed in order on the shelves and in the cases, an attendent being always on hand to act in the same capacity as a librarian. It is his duty to keep track of the bones lent; to enter them upon books, and to see that they are returned uniniured, Dur the day scores of students flock in and out of this uncanny place, car rying packages of strange appear ance in their hands or sticking out of their coat pockets. These pack ages are made up of human bones, which they are returning or taking from this"Bone Circulating Libra ry."-St Louis Republic.

 from the age of fifteen, and th
 doomed author soon saw that only
 main force would make the terrible
 gabbler cease. For two morta
 hours did this torturer chatter or to his own entire satisfaction; the host, dewelling in a secluded place had not the heart to turn his guest out into the snow to wait two hours for a train, so he suffered and suffered, until at length, in a spasm of acute boredom, he said
 "Mr. Blank, your train goes in two hours time; you will find all the weeks papers on your right: l am compelled to start to work p and thus proceeded a respite from his guests drivel.
 Another rather distinguished man had one evening a visitor who l began to speak about a certain branch of science. The host, per haps a dozen times in the space of two hours and a half gave a pre- liminary "Hem p because he want ed to say something, but the bore waved him down with a suave"One moment, if you please !" What the gagged man wanted to say, and eventually did say, was that his callers lecture, though interesting was perfectly familiar to him."
 "You are, in fact" he concluded, discoursing on my own special sub ject."
 Such a statement should have disconnected a man who had talk ed with one even flow for the space of 150 minutes; but not at all ;! With the placid confidence of a thorough paced bore, he sweetly remarked:
 "Ah, we'll, you see how copiously I can talk on that subject! Next time I call you shall see that I can talk quite tluently on another branch of knowledge"
 The second call has not yet ta- ken place.
 When we hear of cases like those above cited We are tempted to wish that all men had something of Carlyle's rudeness. The mighty Thomas was bidding "good-day" to very conceited young man who had favored him with a long ser mon on things in general he went politely to the door, and then said:
 Well, MT. Bland, I've received ye for the sake of your father. Now goodbye; and earnestly hope I'll never see ye again !"
 On another occasion Carlyle looked in a passionless way at a visitor who had been holding forth for ever so long and said:
 Man, but ye're pulr creeture l"
 The anecdote recalls one of cob bier who orce got rid of a tiresome caller by putting his hands on his lapstone and pensively gazing at the talking nuisance. Finally he said:
 ''I suppose, now, they tell you that God made you?"
 The terrible insinuation was too | much for the bore, and he fled, ut terly routed.
 But, unhappilY, all men cannot be rude, or at any rate they learn only when persecution has become ntolerable. Besides, these perni- ,ious assailants cannot be shaken lightly off. Try as one will, it is to pursuade some men and women that one has not an hour 10 spare for them. They will grant that one should not spare minute .o any one else, but their case is so interesting and so very special that ,he man who refuses to hear all about the matter is a peculiarly abandoned.

in his newspaper that a Protestant
elder and Mormon decided con-
troversy with bare knuckles, London

that st. Paul, Mimi, set afoot a
movement to put a stop to prize
fighting, backed by all of it's clergy.
1t might be explained to the man
from the moon that ST. Paul, MIMI,
will have the outside of her cup

Their that prize fighting is deep
grief to persons who stop away from
it, even to such as improve their alb
sence in relaxing over friendly

with his conscience for the sins he's
inclined to, by a vigorous move upon
those of others which he has no mind
to. That John Wanamaker thus

care for dancing nor the st. Paulist
for prize fighting, and it doesn't
occur TO the one to mend the public
morals by abandoning his own poker,
or the other to strive after the same
end by giving up cheating in his own
person. Meantime, the Mississippi
elder who knocks out his opponent in
handsome style would perhaps plead
in palliation of his fistic indulgence
that he had never swlndled fellow

Tho Dyes Used Are Sometimes Poison, as

Danger lies hidden in everything,
even the dainty little glove Of feminine
adornmcnt, which seems so very harm
less, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
OF course gloves, If they cover the pref
ty hand of some especially pretty wom-
an, have always been more or less dan
gerous to the heart peace of gallant
cavaliers, but now great danger to
life itself has been found in a pair of
black gloves. Not long since the wife
of u lieutenant in the army purchased n
pair of long black gloves, which she
wore to ball that evening. When she
arrived home she found her hands
stained with black dye, and one finger,
on which there had been the prick of a
needle, was slightly swollen.
The next day the arm was decidedly
swollen and n physician was sum-
moned, who ordered poultices, but saw
no particular danger in it-especially as
the lady was in good spirits. That
morning the husband said good-by to
her cheerfully, but the noon found a

shoulder and caused her death,
