DeScansO.

The way the Soldier Holes pos,office was named Descanso happened in this way. A Tetition was sent in asking for postmaster and the establishment of an office at Soldier Holes. The petition was duly received at Wash ington, and the assistant postmaster general, whose duty it was to look after mushroom towns in the west, was staggered at the name which the inhabitants called their town. He carried it to Wannamaker, who took it to Mrs. Harrison, and each one de- cided that there was no mistake about it. It read "Soldier Holes" and no one could make it out differently. What to do about it was the next question. Mark Smith was summon ed and asked to interpret the name of the proposed U. s. mail depository in Cochise county. "Why, that's easy enough" said Marcus, 'The place was designated Tn early days as 'Sol- dier Holes for the reason that there were water holes there years before any settlers appeared in that section, where the soldiers watered their hor- ses or often camped when on a hot trail of Apache renegades."
 The explanation was quickly laid before Nr. Wannamaker, who in turn carried the news to Mrs. Harrison, who seized the Spanish dictionary which Ben had laid aside after the Mexican minister had retired few minutes before, and after turning the pages over, wrote on slip of paper "Descanso, a haven of rest" And thus was the lively infant brought into the vocabulary of Uncle Sam's P. O. service.

WlLLARD'S REPORT.
His Last Statement Made to the State
 Department Before His Death.

The late United States Consul Will lard. who twenty-odd years of service at Guaymas gave him a knowledge of affairs Tn Sonora, second to no one, sent in his last statement just prior 10 his death. It contains some interest ing information regarding affairs in our sister state of Sonora, a part of which is reproduced:
 The exper: of mineral ores from this district has increased slightly over that of the past year. The ores from the northern portion go to the reduction works in the United States, those from the southern. portion (Als. mos) are shipped via Agisbampo to Mazatlan, to be Sc Id, and are exported to the United States and portion to Europe, The only class of mines worked are those Of gold and silver. Copper, lead, iron and coal are not being developed, the same can be said of cinnabar.
 During the past year explorations were made with diamond drill by tine company owning the coal conces- sion at San Marcial, and the results reported are highly satisfactory. In the perforations made at one place by the drIll, from the surface to 293 feet in depth, were found four veins from !! .o 9 feet in thickness (so reported.) The veins or measures which have been, to some extent, developed and worked are at or near the towns of Los Bronces and La Barranca, 100 miles northeast of Guaymas. This coal is used by the mining company at said places for their steam works. These veins are from 6 to l4 feet in thickness. Some 2,0O0 feet of explor- ations have been made at both places by shafts and tunnels, which show formal veins of good coal, Coal veins are now, under the present minin z code of Mexico (which went into force in 1SS4) ,considered as belonging to the land, and titles are not granted to them as to mines.
 The following are the concessions of grants made by the governor of the state prior to 1884:
 l:-Contract made and concession granted by state government to Arturo G. Cubillas for the Baranca Mill and Manufacturing company for a zone of coal land of 6,O00 acres, called Santa Clara, at La Barrsnca, February 22d 1882.
 2:-Contract made and concession granted by the state government to Jose Camou aud others for a zone of coal land at Fronteras, 5000 acres, dated June Is, 1882.
 3:-Contract made and concession granted by the state government with NJ. Alsna fer two zones Of coal land at Los Bronces, of 1000 acres, dated April 24, 1883.
 4 4:-Contract made and concession granted by the state government with "The Exploration Company of the Coal Lands of Sonora" for eleven zones of coal lands in the districts of Guaymas, Hermosillo and Ures, con- taining an area of 570 square leagues dated July Is, 1883.

A span new red cart with a large blue colored tank upon 1t attracted attention on Fremont street this morning. Inquiry revealed that the affair was the property of Dr. Hamil- ton, and that he would use it to carry water from the wells at Wateryaie to the hospital The tank holds s5o gallons, and one horse will with ease make a halt dozen trips per day. Several parties have already spoken to the doctor with the idea Of getting him to allow water to be delivered in other quarters also. A white mule will prepel the works, and from the fact that the cart is red, the tank blue and the animal white, the concern will be known e the Banner Water Works."

CONCERNING BACKS.
How the Shoulder Blades Betray Age
Backs Should Be Straight.


How the Shoulder Blades Betray Age.
Backs Should Be Straight.
Young looking, isn't she:'
..She does look so in the face, and her
bonnet is becoming, but l thought by
the spread OF her back that she wasn't
very young.
It was a scrap of conversation over
heard in the street Although the crit
icism was made laug hingly, 1t betrayed
the fact that the speaker was neither
kind nor refined, as the other woman
shoulder blades betrayed her age; but II
limited at one of the secrets OF youth
full looking figure.
The back should be straight; don't
mean the spine-that contains curve IN
the most erect figure; but the line across
the back from shoulder TO shoulder. A
stick laid across here should touch all
the way along. The line of beauty Is
straight here, for change.
The muscles OF the back are like elias
tics; they should spring back into place,
but they grow weak from age, the
shoulder blades fall away from the spine
and throw the shoulders forward, and
the edges of the blades stick out, max
ing the back round in fat person and
angular in a thin one, and always broad
spreading"
The comparison to elastic Is not per-
haps the best one, since elastic wears
out from use, while a muscle becomes
stronger and tauter by use.
What backboards did for past gen.
GRAFTON was to keep the back fiat, but
there are better ways now. The point
Is to exercise the muscles and not let
them get fabby. This is the secret OF
| the fact that many women who have
| worked hard all their lives and who
might be expected to be worn out are
what is called 'spry" and young look
ing. Bed making and sweeping and
| any work that uses the arms without
having TO bend over develop the muscles
OF tie back and tend to make tie
shoulder blades when at rest return tc
their normal position. Sedentary work
| in which the hands are used in one posi-.
ton. as sewing or writing, draws the
| shoulders forward The woman who
| does not need to work, If she happens tC
be too indolent to exercise for the love
| of it, and to incline to easy chairs and
morning maps, will pay the same pen
atty and will need to look to it that hel
bonnet is becoming.
Any one can correct this tendency
however, if she will. Dumbbells ar
grand exercise for the back. To swing
them with the arms straight you mus
stand upright. When they meet behind
the back, still standing upright, th'
shoulder blades seem to shut in ik,
doors.
But If you haven't five minutes a Ga,
to spend in this way don't give up. lik
Mrs. Dombey, without an effort. Yo:
can at least go through the motion 0
throwing the shoulders back fifty time
day. It takes no time, for You can 4
it sitting, standing or walking, and
determined effort of the will to kee1
them back will soon pass into habit.
