SUICIDE.BY AMMONIA.
The Terrible Agony Dose Not Prevent
Its Use.

No poison brings death with more
maddening agony than ammonia, but
that fact does not seem to discourage the
suicide. The man Harrowitz, who
deliberately swallowed a fatal dose of
the drug in New York recently, is only
one of the many who have gone the am
monia route to death IN spite Of the ex-
cruclating pain. DR.. Blyth has re-
corded thirty cases of ammonia poison
ing in the small London district of which
he is health officer; Professor Mitchell
mentions twenty two cases, and four
have occurred during the short time
DIR. Jenkins has been connected with
co1oner's Office in New York.
Cases Of slow poisoning from am-
monia are of constant occurrence among
men who work in It's manufacture, or
even in decomposing substances which
give it off In considerable quantities.
Ammonia. slowly and from day to-day
taken into the system, causes the COM
plexion to lose It's freshness, and the
skin of men who get heavily impregnat-
eG with it has 0isagreeable blotched
and discolored appearance.

National Guard Enoampment.

The encampment of the national
guard, projected for this city and for the
fall months, takes place early in Novem-
ber Tombstone,.Y Yuma, Phenix, Florence
and Tucson companies are exp scted,
and it promises to be very successful.
Major Martin is in receipt of reduced
rates of fare from the Southern Pacific

November The rate will Ice IL fare

sionists ATTENDING the encampment, in
Guiding families of officers, and ~ cents

The subscription list was started
about the city today. To carry the en-
campment through requires more by
a good deal than the government equip
age and supplies. The subscription
list sets forth that much trade will un-
doubtedly be brought to the city, not
only by the national guard but by many
from surrounding towns who will not
be slow Ito take advantage of the low

TOLD BY PHOTOGRAPHERS.

A YOUNG lady in Lewiston, Me-, en-
tered a photographers gallery and,
after seating herself in chair, calmly
informed him that she wanted her
face drawed." The photographer said
he would draw it.
A CHICAGO photographer claims to be
doing good business among the young
men of that city by photographing the
pictures of their sweethearts on their
arms, when finished appearing similar
to the tattooing process with the ex-
ception of the colors.
AN amateur photographer went thir-
ty miles out in the country to take
some choice views, filed fifty plates
and found when he came to develop
them at home that he hadn't opened
the shutter of his camera. He had
pressed the button, but for some reason
it hadn't done the rest.
A PHOTOGRAPHER at the convention in
Buffalo told reporter Of the old days
in the west, when the man at the
camera used to make the subject "look
pleasant" by leveling pistol at him and
saying: Look right in the muzzle o.
this yere revolver. my man, and re-
member that hain't agoin' to hev this
picture spoiled with any o. your

OIL We AMP,
Rich Strike in the Sierritas-Gsasr
Prosperity Reported.

What is told of one mine at Olive ap-
plies in a general way to nearly all of
them. The ore runs at fair grades on
the surface, and invariably improves
upon greater depth, The chloriders are
all working and all are obtaining
satisfactory results from their toll.
At L. F. Fries mine, the Keystone,
stopping has been In progress for some
time, at the depth of S. feet. How good
the results are may be judged from the
fact that last week for three consecutive
days Mr. Fries took out seventeen sacks
of ore day. Mr. Fries tells that he
will begin sinking in about three weeks.
How far down he has not decided, but
probably between l75 and 80 feet. Ore
at So feet down shows 236 ounces.
The Wedge is a good mine. 1t is IN
charge of Messrs. Baxter Il Harris.
They are Gown $50 feet now, and taking
out ore 6 the rate of from four TO
sixteen sacks day from one mans
labor in the drift. The ore began near
the surface at l50 ounces and at the
present depth streak is showing so
ounce ore.
Howard Baines is shipping forty to 30
sacks of ore on every trip OF Johnson's
team. He has good streak of eighteen
inches.
Messrs, Hughes, Scott, Devine and
Taylor are now working their own mine
and developing it. 1t is situated in the
west end o, the Sierritas and they have
taken out silver ore that is surprisingly
rich. Pieces of the rock are plaster of
horn silver and the streaks though
small pay-many.of them-from 1,SOO to
$4,000 ounces.
That Olive is valuable feeder of
Tucson is continuously demonstrated by
the great loads OF miners supplies
leaving for there almost daily. There are
six outfits in the camp and one of the
smaller ones pays in Tucson from S15f
to 500 month.
Olive people are generally well
pleased with the prospect of tri-weekly

ANIMAL WORSHIP.
-uliar Customs and Superstltions of the
Ancient EZYptians.

Anclent E<JptiAhs'
One 'of the most singular customs
among the ancient Egyptians was the
worship of animals. In the light of
modern days their devotion to these
sacred animals displays many absurd
tiles. 1t was considered a capital
crime to kill any of them voluntarily,
the offender being duly tried and i'm
mediately executed. If an ibis or
hawk was accidentally killed. the un-
fortunate cause of its dea tn was very
often put to death by the people with
out the formality of trial Should it
so happen that man found the carcass
of either of these birds he would fall
upon his knees at its side and loudly
call out that he had found it dead
Cats were also looked upon as sacred,
and at the death of a tabby every male
inmate of its owners house cut off his
eyebrows When a dog was buried
each man shaved his head and body.
They carried their hawks, cats and
dogs in all war expeditions, and those
that died were sailed and prepared for
burial at their homes with as much
care as would be taken with human
being.
In addition to these animals and
birds were sacred bulls, crocodiles and
beetles, the latter being especially re-
gered on account of being considered
type of the sun. These curious people
also entertained peculiar notions re-
garding its mode of reproduction, in
which they traced analogies to the
movements of the other heavenly
bodies One species was dedicated to
the sun, another to the moon and
third to Thoth or Hermes.
Many plants were also looked upon
rs sacred, the principal, as is we'll
known. being the lotus. In this fioweE
the Egyptians found an allusion to the
rising of the sun from the ocean. from
the fact that its blossoms are thrown
above the surface Of the water.
Peach trees were sacred to the great
Harpocrates, the god of silence-a
deity supposed to be the same as Horus,
she son of Isis, Leeks and onions, the
acacia and the heliotrope were woT=
fhiped and consecrated to the SUI,
apd the laurel was considered the
noblest of all plants.-petroit Free
