DECEMBER FIGS.

J. D. Monihon has furnished this oi- fee with fine specimen of figs picked from his orchard in this city. The figs are from trees that are twelve feet high, but not two years old until next April.
 These figs are from the fourth crop this year, and of fine flavor and healthy growth.
 NIT. Monihon has not given the or chard any special attention, and the trees have not been watered since Sep. tember.
 The size of the figs and the luxuriant growth of the tree, attest to the wonder fnl richness of the soil, and ought to be conclusive evidence as to the adapta- bility of Arizona for all kinds of semi tropical fruits.
 The time is not far distant when the valleys of central and southern Arizona will be known as the most prolific and wonderful fruit producing country in the world.

Wound by the Sun.

A clock is to be seen at Brussels which comes as near to being perpetual mo- tion machine as is likely ever to be in- vented; for the sun does the winding.
 A shaft exposed to the solar rays causes an up draft of air, which sets a fan in motion. The fan acts upon a mechanism which raises the weight of the clock until it reaches the top, and then puts a brake on the fan till the weight has gone down little, when the fan is again liberated, and proceeds to act as before.
 As long as the sun shines frequently enough, and the machinery does not wear out. the clock will keep going. - cemoer wool ana sheep advanced ro nearly their former value"

':A August
 Flower

For two years suffered terribly with stomach trouble, and was for all that time under treatment by physician. He finally, after trying everything, said stomach was about worn out, and that I would have to cease eating solid food for time at least. I was so weak that I could not work. Finally on the recom- mendation of a friend who had used
 your preparations A worn-out with beneficial re-
 suits, I procured a Stomach. bottle of August
 Flower, and con- menced using it. It seemed to do me good at once. I gained in strength and flesh rapidly; my ap- petite became good, and I suffered no bad effects from what I ate. I feel now like new man, and con- sidcr that August Flower has en- tirely cured me of Dyspepsia in its worst form. JAMES E. DEDERICK, .Saugerties, New York.

The cutting knife is strong scythe, three feet long, set slanting and bolted securely to the sled. The sled is drawn by shafts which prevent the horse from turning around upon the knife. A man can handle the corn if not too heavy. He grabs the corn with both hands and lets it lie across his knee until he has a lap full and then casts it off, says The Farm Journal, from which our cut is reproduced.

sharp:oyyu's Spring visitors.

It appears to be the custom, and has been
so far back as the memory Of man runneth,
for the herring " hen planning their spring
outing to send a delegation up Salem
creek as far as Sharptewn. Although the
weather has much to do with their coming,
their usual time to come is from the 20ih
of April to the 10sh of May. When they
do come they all come together and with
a grand rush without sending any advance
representation to announce their intentions
At times their caravan is so large and
ponderous that to use co9m0n phrase
the creek would seem to be alive with
them. Those who fish for them generally
use scoop nets and scoop them out by the
hundred. 1t is needless TO say that there
is lots Of enjoyment to the fishermen, who
go down in large numbers and work till
tired and weary. Very few escape, but
all the same enough get away to pilot
their kids up again the next spring.
The time for their annual visit is Bow
near at hand. and our Sharptown friends
are ready for them and prepared to give
them welcome reception.
Although they are good eating and quite
toothsome when nicely cooked. taeir plen-
titude would appear to lessen the appreci
alton, aud the consequences is that although
they are anxious to capture them over
there they do not seem to set mucn store
on them. and generally give away most Of
the catch to those who live further inland
and have higher appreciation of their
eating qualities. In a word the people in
aud around Sharptown are industrious,
prosperous and we'll do. and don't have
t1 eat herring unless they want to. When
they do eat them it is from choice and net
because they can't get better, for they can.
II you hear when they re up" hitch up
your team and go over and get load 10

horse team and lime body If you can get
one. fyou can't get double team take
tive single ones, which will do as well, but
if you get word in time by all means go
and you will be we'll repaid for your visit
by seeing the fishermen scoop them up.
One or two years ago they got there on
bright Sunday III Jrning, AID of this we'll
try to tell YOU next week. In the mean-
time keep your eye on the news from

The New York Sun of yesterday tells
about the weather as follows: 1T began
last Sunday afternoon about 3 O'Clock. All
the week before had been most discourage
ing. There had been rain and cold winds
and threatening skies. Everybody was
complaining. But it seemed that the sig
ual would never come. Then Sunday
afternoon, although the air was not cold
and the sky was crowded with clouds,
there came a sudden bursting away. and
when the sun went down over in jersey
there came a warm wind straight from the
great jagged golden clouds.
Soon after sunrise yesterday it began to
warm up Tie weather was the great sub
iect OF conversation, and received unmiti-
gated praise for the first time since last
fall. Toward noon, however, the praise
rather died away. and many grew as quer-
ulaus AS they had been In the bad weather
the week before. The difficulty was Just
this: If you add to a weight under
wear and a winter-weight suit tempeya-
tufe of Is degrees, yon have combination
that will make the parspiratlon pour. -
men found that castug aside their over
coats did not help matters.
As matter of fact, this has been curl
ons spring. II you 60 down to the Signal
Office Sergeant Dunn will tell you that the
temperature has been far ahead OF the tenn
perature for the same period in former
years. There have been many more warm

, they both be allowed to teach the full
school year of ten months. The amount of
money the district could pay for teachers
a. that time was 500. which was given
them. They taught the school at these
terms two years. This last year or rather
the present school year. the teachers learn
ed that there was q little larger appropria-
tiou than for the last two years. They had
already taken the school at the same salary
as they had been getting. Upon learning
that there was more money they insisted
on having their salary raised. The trustees
then allowed them $500, which is $50
more than ever paid before. Miss Natalie
did net do the same work that has been
| done by men before. because the men
taught all the children who came to the
school except for the 70 days for which the
assistant was employed ia the winter sea-
son. The grade Of the schools for the last
three years has been no better than in for
| mer years--we would ask if it has been as
good, when you consider that the three
years of 'e5, '86 aud 81 there were five
pupils that took teachers certificates and
two more were admitted to the State Nor
nal school without further examination
than that passed under the principal of the
school at that time. To the best of our
knowledge no man has ever taught the
school in an ''inferiorn manner to what it
is Taught now. We would not say one
word in disparagement of Miss Natalie
The author says she is going to south
SWedesboro. The people here are perfectly
willing. We wish her well of course, but
We firmly believe that our school will go
on, and that the standard will be fully
