CarrilIO's Gardens.

This once noted resort lays at the ex-
 treme southern end of Main street in the
 City of Tucson upon your right as you
 are riding or driving towards Silver
 Lake. This garden was opened up once
 upon time with the intent to make it
 a most fashionable and attractive resort m the summer evenings, but it so hap pened that the very evening that 1t was opened and the festivities were in pro- gress a man bit the grass after receiving a leaden bullet through his body. This somewhat damped the future ardor of
 the festivities and the garden has not made much progress ln the direction of a resort lately. It is a lovely place and could be made very pretty and attract i've. Various tanks of water walled iu with huge rocks ornament the grounds, whilst weeping willows aged and stately hang ID grotesque streamers along the neatly kept avenue. Ash trees, Catalpa. rose bushes, the magnolia, the mulberry, all vie with one another in growth and prominence, whilst trees loaded down with apples, and all manner of other fruit-treeS with limbs bending under the ripening fruit meet the eye upon ey- cry side. There was no sound of music or galIy ln tnlS picturesque place and not even the waters were ruff1ed by the usual splash of the oars that vera once used to propel the gondolas of the pond, but instead the waters were rufflsd by the plunge of two little urchins who, taking advantage of the solitude of the place and good chance of a refreshing bath had Invested themselves of their summer toggery and were playing hide and seek in the limpid waters but upon catching sight of newspaper chronicler they fled ike rats from a slnking ship and hid themselves with clownish rap idity. This garden is very pretty spot and could be made very pleasant re- sort. It has been the scene of balloon music and dances. It is the property of a rich heiress in Tucson and is valued at many thousand dollars.

ENCOURAGING.

Sunday evening great black clouds rolled up in huge banks over the peaks of the Catalinas and Rincons and the ominous rumbling ot thunder and flash es of lightning needed no prediction to foretell what was to take place and the long expected, long hoped for and welcome rain reached this vicinity In 8 sold, continuous and generous down. pou-. Not only for one hour, but for several hours and way into the night and throughout the entire night the much needed ram deluged the noun tains, the valley and the streets. It is worth thousands of dollars to the cattle men; thousands to the mining interests, thousands to the merchants and tax payers. It means a cheerfulness all around. It means plenty of water for municipal and irrigating purposes. It means that instead of kicking any longer against a water drouth some of you who live at distance in the country and may now be in the city, will likely have to build you an ark, as the CITIZEN predicted, to float to your destination. This newspaper, which has always re- ioiced in the hour of the TerrItory's triumphs and condoled likewise in the hour of its distress, does now offer con- gratulations to one and all to whom this rain is 8 great blessing. At the same time it pays respectful homage holds the rain, the storms, the hurri- cane. the cyclones and even the promis- ing rainbow at His just command.

CHAPTER III.
VARIOUS TERRoRs OF THE sEAMEN.


 On the 14th of September the voyagers were rejoiced by the sight of what they considered harbingers of land. A heron and tropical bird called the Rabo de Junco, neither of which are supposed tC venture far to sea, lowered about the ships. On the following night they were struck with awe at beholding a meteor, or, as Columbus calls it in his journal, a great flame of fire, which seemed to fall from the sky into the sea about four or five leagues distant. These meteOrs, common in warm climates, and espe- cially under the tropics, are always seen in the serene azure sky of those lati- Uudes, falling as it were from the heavens, but never beneath a cloud. In the transparent atmosphere of one ol those beautiful nights, where every star shines with the purest luster, they often leave a luminous train behind them, which lasts for twelve or fifteen seconds. and may we'll be compared to a flame.
 The wind had hitherto been favorable. with occasional though transient clouds and showers. They had made great progress each day, though Columbus, according to his secret plan, contrived to suppress several leagues in the daily reckoning left open to the crew.
 They had now arrived within the in fuence of the trade wind, which, follow ing the sun, blows steadily from east to west between the tropics and sweeps over few adjoining degrees of ocean With this propitious breeze directly aft, they were waited gently but speedily over a tranquil sea, so that for many days they did not shift a sail Columbus perpetually recurs to the bland and tenn perate serenity of the weather, which in this tract of the ocean is soft and re- freshing without being cool. In his art less and expressive language he compares the pure and balmy mornings to those of April in Andalusia, and observes that they wanted but the song of the night ingale to complete the illusion. "He had reason to say so, ," observes the vener- able La Casas; ''for it is marvellous the suavity which we experience when half way toward these Indies; and the more the ships approach the lands, so much more do they perceive the temperance and softness of the air, the clearness of the sky and the amenity and fragrance sent forth from the groves and forests; much more certainly than in April in Andalusia."
 They now began to see large patches of herbs and weeds drifting from the west, and increasing in quantity as they advanced Some of these weeds were such as grow about rocks, others such as are produced in rivers; some were yell

improve the streets of the city. There
 is no need for any one to trouble with
 a tax fever or shake with tax ague i and get ready to tumble to pieces m dispair when an announcement is made
 of a needed public necessity such as
 goods streets and good sidewalks. Tue . son is now putting on the toggery of advancement. Buildings are now being and about to be erected that will require a good water system. The electric light is now quietly working its way to Tue son. The star of electricity will soon shine from pole in the center of Mill tary plaza and another cast its rays from the city hall tower. A large build ing for the storage of beer is to be erect ed and other improvements following in line. That the streets need grading and fixing there is no disputing. That it IS within the power of the city council to order them fixed is also acknowledg- ed. That the most opportune time to fix them and make preparations to pre- sent neat appearing city during the incoming tide of population that will swing in upon us this season, is now and from this time on. That the streets of Tucson are in a dilapidated condition is known and commented on by many who visit hare. That there IS no neces- sity for such condition is admitted by those who take great interest in Tue sons welfare. It does not necessarily entail the expenditure of thousands. It is hoped the city council will authorize the streets to be improved and that it be done iudicIously and prudently. Such improvement will bring back ten dollars for every fifty cents expended. It IS time that the unsightly conditions of some of our streets be plotted out and civilized thoroughfares supplant them and in So expressing it we but express the unanimous sentiment of all who de- slres to see the city placed in the position it righttully should occupy. The city fathers want to look into this matter provided the hot weather does not initiate against expressed, implied and determined activity.

Grand Canyon Caves.

Old prospectors tell Of their discovery of tbe entrances of caves Tn the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. As they had nothing but candles, the strong draft of air blowing through the caves from the entrance always extipguished the candles, preventing exploration to any great depth. They believe there are great caves leading from the sldes of the canyon under the mountains of rocks, which persons properly equipped for the purpose, could explore with lit> tie difficulty. In view of the fact that persons who have tried 10 drill wells on the high mesas in the surrounding country have lost thelr drills in the bowels of the earth, and strong cur rents of air would come whistling mp through the hole made by the drill, 1t would seem that the section was all honey-combed with deep under ground caverns, ard these air currents come from the openings in the sides of the Grand Canyon. Whether this is true or not, there are certainly sufficient sur face indications to prompt series of most interesting, and in all probability most remunerative explorations.

RAIN.

The manner fprophesying about rain is one that will not always hold good in a dry country, but within the past few days the rain that has fallen and the daily gathering of the clouds in aquatic efforts to relieve themselves of a duty that they apparently owe to the cattle interest and to the agricultural interests of the country seems that we are about to experience a storm that will compel the running out of modern ark to stem the tide that will come down the Santa Cruz in an endeavor to satisfy the claims of all who are looking forward with hopes to the beneficial and all potent rain. The cattle men will no doubt re-
 ioice, as rain is much needed for their interests and the weather indications point to an early if not immediate rain.

Ancient and Modern Dress.

/ think the ancients exercised vastly
more judgment in the matter of wearing
apparel than do the moderns. Compare
the dress of a Roman senator with the
haberdashery of member of the Ameri-
can house of millionaires. The former
was graceful, comfortable, picturesque;
the latter is the reverse of all these. We
do not realize how incongruous and in
artistic the modern male costume is, be-
cause we have become accustomed to it.
A high silk hat, spiketailed coat and bag
gy trousers constitute our ideal of fault
less attire, yet it is sufficient to give an
artist an acute attack of the mulligrubs.
Sculptors avoid it as they would the
plague; artists frequently resort to gross
anachronisms to get around a combina-
tion which makes a man resemble no
thing created by the Almighty, and des-
titute of a single line Of beauty.
We are continually lecturing the Ia
dies ON the subject of dress, yet they
have preserved some of the beauties and
comforts of ancient costumes, while we
have sacrificed them all and are as
proud of it as an Indian squaw who has
traded buffalo robe for q secondhand
pair of soldier pants. Even the extray
agances of male costumes during the
Middle Ages were infinitely preferable
to the stupid garments of the present.
We will probably never return to the
toga of the Romans or the gaudy color5
of the crusaders, but the baggy trousers,
the spiketailed coat and the idiotic
plug" cannot last forever. Some genius
will yet lead us out of the wilderness of
absurdities into which we have fallen

Why Cold Affects the Hearing.

Ihe drum or tympanum of the ear is
asmall air chamber, with hard, bony
surroundings, ventilated by an air pas
sage about ~ inches long, called the
eustachian tube, which passes forward
and inward from the anterior part of
the throat behind the nostrils. The at
mospheric pressure required on tho in
ner side Of the drum to countcrbalance
that of the outer side is provided for by
the communication of tho eustachian
tube with the throat in the acts of
breathing and swallowing. Lining the
hollow of the drum and forming the in
ner1nost layer Of the drumhead is q deli
cato mucus membrane, which also lines
the interior of the custachian tube. II
we have cold III the head the vessels
supplying the mucus membrane from
the nose to the mouth expand, the blood
within them flows slowly or stagnates
and that in the mucus membrane be-
comes congested.
As result there is more or less swell.
ing, with augmentation of the natural
secretions. Tho congestion is apt to be
continued into the mucous membrane OF
the eustachian tube, which is thus OBJ
structed. This causes the air in the
drum to be raretied. the drumhead and
the little chain of bones connected with
it are forced inward, and by causing ex-
cess of pressure of the internal ear pro-
duce deafness. Brooklyn Eagle,

a Story of Bosun.

The manufacture of anecdotes about
dogs was constant source of amusement
to Captain Marryat. As the creator of
'.Snarleyyow" Marryat showed marked
ability. How much that great practical
joker, Hook, helped Marryat as collabo-
rator in dog yarns is not known. The
most ingenious one is about Bosun,
represented to be Newfoundland dog.
Bosuns master made a bet that, if
half dozen silk hats were put down ON
the floor, his dog would bring them all to
him in his mouth at once. The wager
was accepted and six high hats were
put on the floor. Bosun was introduced
and requested "to fetch 'em."
Did Bosun hesitate? Perhaps for a
moment, but the noble animal was only
thoughtful, not embarrassed. Examin-
ing the circumference of the many hats,
Bosun selected at once the largest, then
the next in size and slipped the smaller
into the larger hat and SO on until he
had comfortably nested the whole sig in
the one large hat. Then taking the en-
tire hat package neatly by the rim, he
brought the six hats to his master. This
story, when Marryat saw it copied all
over England, gave him the keenest de-
light, and, for aught that is known, it
still floats around in the columns of
French or German newspapMs.--New
York Times.

8" LOVE THE WOODS"

Oh, give Ge but that crag of rock
On which to build my simple cot,
And I'll not ask for palaces,
Nor murmur at my lonely lot.
do not need the silkcn garb,
The cushioned couch, or seasoned fool;
do not ne gl the tongue of men
To voice the word that Life is good"
do not need the amber scent,
The honeyed smile and tutored song,
Or crowd of glittering sycophants
That in the halls of Cr9sus throng-
| love the woods.
When o'cr the distant line of hills
The rosy morning peeps its head,
And stars that through the night have
watched,
Now quench their light and go to bed.
Irise from couch of perfumed pine
And seek the purling brook that flows
Between its fringe of velvet moss,
Where tiny turquoise blossom blows.
Inced no marble fountain rare
To purify and lave and clean,
And when say my grateful prayer.
TITS in His mighty dome of green
love the woods.
My silent friend, my faithful dog,
The horse that hastens to my call,
The birds that sing above my head
They constitute my all in all.
l breathe the forests filtered air,
The breeze that cools the mountain brow,
The snowclad SUBMITS atmosphere.
And praise the Lord I'm living now
love the woods.

SENSES OF OWLS.

Interesting Experiments to Determine
Their Lack of Smell.
The hearing of all species of owls
known to me is marvelously keen; SO
keen in fact that know of no way of
testing it, since it is so much more acute
than that of man. If owls have the
sense of smell, am unable to find salts.
factory evidence of it.
have tried various experiments with
them, hoping to prove that they could
smell, but the results are all negative.
They dislike putrid meat, but they bite
it to ascertain its condition. They will
not eat toads or frogs which yield an
unpleasant oder, but they did not reject
these species until they had tested them
by tasting.
They may be ever so hungry, yet they
do not suspect the presence of food if it
is carefully covered so that they can not
ss it. This test have applied with the
utmost care to the great horned, snowy
and barred owls. The latter are shrewd
enough to learn my ways of hiding their
food, and when they suspect its presence
they will search in the places where !
have previously hidden it, pouncing
upon pieces of wrapping paper and polk
ing under feathers and excelsior with
amusing cunning.
l tested them with the fumes of cam
phor, ammonia and other disagreeable
and unusual smells, but they failed to
show that they perceived them unless
the fumes were strong enough to affect
their breathing or to irritate their eyes.
Finally l put cat in basket and
placed the basket between the two owls
They were utterly indifferent to it until
the cat made the basket rock, when both
of them fed precipitately and could not
be induced to go near the basket again.
Although Puffy will put a cat to flight
when on his mettle, Fluffy Is frightened
almost out of his wits by them.
A Japanese toy bird, made of piece
of wood and few scarlet feathers, was
eagerly seized by Puffy, indicating not
only lack of power of smell but the
presence of an appreciation Of color.
have fancied that an appreciation of
color is also shown by barred owls in
their frequent selection of beech trees
as nesting places, by great horned owls
in their choice of brown trunked trees,
and l,y Snowden in an apparent prefer
ence for gray backgrounds. = Frank

sausaces Without Bread Crumbs

The sausages made in Sardinia from
pork or veal, and seasoned with spices
and a little rum, have no bread in their
composition; nor indeed do the Italians
any more than the Germans seem to look
with eyes Of appreciation on bread
crumbs as an accompaniment to sausage
meat. To put too much bread into any
sausage and to sell it at the price that
would be charged for an equal quantity
of butchers meat, partakes considerably
of the nature of fraud; but such fraud
might be obviated
The even greaterper of eating tainted
meat might be averted if housekeepers
would only encourage their cooks to
make larger use of the sausage mincing
machine, which insures perfect cleanli-
ness, while it disperses the seasoning
equally, minces to any degree of fine
ness and at the same time fills the skins
vith SAUSAGE meat.-London Tclaexazk.
