How to Avoid Cholera.

4 local physician has handed us the following rules laid down by the famous doctor and scientist, Pasteur, of Paris, for the avoidance of cholera even in a time of geeat plague from the dis ease.
 Cholera is contracted by taking the germs into the system through the mouth, as in food or drink-or from the hands, clothing dishes, etc. Thor ough cooking destroys the germs.
 If cholera should develop in this country observe the following rules:
 Don't eat raw, uncooked articles of any kind, not even milk.
 Don't eat or drink to excess. Use plaln, wholesome, digesTable food, as indigestion and diarrhOea favor an at- tack of cholera.
 Don't drink unbOiled water.
 Don't eet or drink articles unless they have been thoroughly and recent ly cooked or boiled, snd the more recent or hotter they are the better.
 Don't employ utensils in eating or drinking, unless they have recently been put in boiling water.
 Don't eat or handle food with un- washed hands or receive It from the unwasheo hands of others.
 Personal cleanliness of the living and sleeping rooms and their contents and thorough ventilation should. be rlgidly enforced. Foul water closets, sinks, cellars, etc., should be avoided.
 Don't be frightened, but be cautious, and avoid eXcesses and unnecessary ex- posures of every kind.

How Matches Were First Made.

It was in 1895 that the notion of chemi- cal matches was first conceived. In that year French professor introduced for the purpose a small bottle of asbestos, saturated with strong sulphuric acid, into which little sticks of wood, coated with sulphur and tipped with mixture of chlorate of potash and sugar, were to be introduced when a light was wanted. When the wooden splint thus prepared was brought in contact with the acid in the bottle ignition followed.
 In the same year matches tipped with Jumps of phosphorus seem to have been known, but they caught fire too readily by spontaneous combustion =, render them very desirable for household use. An improvement was introduced in 1893, when equal parts of sulphur and phOs- phorus were melted together in a glass tube, which was securely corked. When a light was desired small stick was poked into the tube and a particle of the mixture withdrawn on the end of it. On exposure to the air the substance caught fire spontaneously. Washington Star.

City Council.

Last Saturday night the city couccil according to agreement held a special meeting to consider and hear proposi- tiOns submitted by Barnes and Martin agents representing Phenix company that laid the sewer system of that city also regarding water proposition for the city. The council whilst in session heard the suggestions of the agents which were put forth by Judge W. IF. Barnes who read the articles of agree ment and conditions thereof that they desired the city to consider. They pro- posed to put in water works north of the city and secure the same character of water that the rail road company were now getting. They would put in a pump with daily capacity of 1,50O,OO0 gallons. They would do this end also build sewer system at a contract say for 50 years. That the city enter into contract to pay for the use of this water which included flushing of sewers and free to certain public buildings etc, the sum of s5,00O yearly. The article bear ing upon the iGtent of the water and sewer corporation was read ia full by JudgeBarnes and was attentively listened to by the Mayor of the city and mem- bers of the council. At the conclusion of the reading the agents of the pro- jected water and sewer company drew comparisons as to what they could do and what they could not do but would ask compensation of S5,OO0 per year from the city under a contract of 90 years. The members of the council then adopted a motion as made by Council Samanisgo that copy of the contract as submitted to the city be furnished to | each member of the council for their personal perusal and- for the considera- tion of the council at their next meeting the first Monday in October. The meet ! ing then adjourned.

AN IRISH VILLAGE.
The Emerald Isles Exhibit at the
 Columbian Exhibition.
Leading Industries of Ireland to Be Dis played by Peasant Lads and Lassies from Their Respective
 Localities

All visitors to the worlds fair will doubtless want to inspect the Irish vil- lage which is being arranged under the auspices of the countess of Aberdeen and Mrs. Ernest Hart. The latter gives the following outline of what it will contain:
 We shall have seven cottages in which peasant girls and lads from Donegal and elsewhere will be seen at work, weaving, spinning, dyeing, sprigging, carving, etc. The girls will look very pretty in Connemara red pet ticoats, fishwife skirts and blouses, and scarlet cloabs. In the first cottage will be precise model of cottage in Done gal, with undressed walls of granite, with hooded fireplace and dresser full of bright crocllery; a girl will be seen dyeing and spinning our famous Hand and-Heath hOmespuns, the wool of which she gets from the hchens and heather of her native bog outside There will be an imitation peat fire, and on this the dyer will from time to time place her iron pOtato-pot, and proceed to dye the wool. This operation is certain to prove immensely attractive to sight seers, and, as well as the carding, spin ming and bobbin-filling, which will be shown here, is an extremely interesting process.
 ''In the second cottage there will be linen weaving and embroidering of the famous Kells art embroidery; whilst linen damask weaving on a Jacquard hnn frin ntf on in the third cottage. Between this and the next cottage there will be a model dairy, in which dairy maids will be at work churning and butter-mak- ing. I can assure our American cous- ins they will have a chance of some good butter, as we shall send over some of the world-famed Kerry cows, which will be stabled at the rear. There will also be pleasant, cool spot here where visitors can rest and drink iced milk.
 Tn the fourth cottage, which is un- l der the especial care of the Irish Indus tries association, every description of ! Irish lace will be shown. There will be Limerick lace worker at her frame, the TOrchon lace worker at the pillow, the numerous varieties of point lace, and so forth.
 "Sprigging and veining, which are employed in the production of the beau tiful hemstitched handkerchiefs of Bel fast, will be shown in the next cottage. The girls of Down are especially noted for their exquisite and delicate work. We have not quite definitely decided about the two remaining cottages, but we shall probably show in the seventh the wood-carving industry in Ireland, | which has reached really remarkable degree of development when one re- members the workers and teachers are peasant lads. You. should see the set
 of owls carved by some of my own boys for Lady Aberdeen last year. The ex- pressiOn of the owls faces, as we'll as | the execution, was excellent. Other | features of our Irish industrial village
 will be replica of Donegal castle, an | old well and other interesting Celtic memorials. I believe the Irish village will be successful; we shall certainly do our best to make it so."

A Friendly Word for the Adobe.

Dos CABEZAs, AriZ., Sept. 20, 1892.
 ED. CITIZEN:-I have observed there have appeared at various times in your valuable journal and otber Tucson pa- pers very disrespectful remarks about our old friend the Adobe" as building material saying this relic of barbarIsn must go" CT words to that effect. Now there are other evidences of barbarian still stronger than the abused adobe" that is to think the manners ways and customs of ones particular neighborhOod section are superior to customs and of all other peoples, savages always know more Tn their own estimation than all other people and know their ways to be perfection having seen ne other. Now the fact seems to be that brick is the best building material for attitudes subjected to dampness and frost for adobes where dampness could reach them and then freeze would soon scale of and crumble away but in attitudes where houses are built more as protection against heat the adobe" is preferable therefore in spite of "barbarism," prejudice in this dry warm climate. For house,for comfort give me an adobe with thick massive walls and dirt roof under either aH iron or a shingls one; iron preferred as that will not burn-So you see there are some people that take issue as to the best building material in these warm and dry countries.

A NOTABLE AMUSEMENT EVENT

The Grand and Colossal Biblical Spectacle by the John Robin
 sons Great Worlds Expo
sitiOn.

John Rob,nson's ever popular and and ever welcome shows come to us this year with such important access ions representations to overshadow all contemporary amusement ventures. They have not only materially strength oned their ring and hippodrome perfor- mances and largely added 10 their al ready vast meRagsrie, but are produc- ing an astounding new feature, which can but commend itself to all classes of patrons. We allude to the grand bibli- cal spectacle of Solomon, his temple and the queen of Shebs. Unerring in seen ic deiineation, realistic in depletion of incidents and events. impressively grand in page6ntic effects, magnificent in costumes and appointments, entrsnc- ing in musical flea asures, bewitching in beautiful pallets and exciting in games and chariot races, this approximately sublime spectacle will commend itself to every visitor. The pantOmine of Humpty Dumpiy, hIs fortunes, misfor- tunes and mshaps will find place ID the program of the Robinson show. The show will exhibit in Tucson October 4, 1892.

THAT BILL.

The most egregious folly that could be perpetrated by this Territory would be to allow the present delegate to con- gress to be reelected. To say that the people could only be represented by this one emissary of self-constituted knowledge and political wisdom is farce that may have been tolerated in the days gone by, when no one read newspapers; but the mining camps of Arizona wlll never forget the murder ous act committed against every miner in the west when the Democratic house of congress, by majority, deliberately tied up the temporary and future pros perity of the entire west by its arbitary act of killing the free coinage bill.

THE WHEEL OF TRADE.

Follow the march of advancement throughout the entire western country and the observant man will notice how in each and every new Territory and afterwards baptized state, that there has always been a favored city or two in each such state or Territory around which clustered the greatness, commer- cially of its acquired trade. A radat- ing point; a supply depot to which all come to spend their money and replen- ish their stock. These points were al- ways admirably situated geographically and clustered around them eventually a system of transportation that made shipping facilities SO easy that distance became a myth and time was no object so quick were goods ordered delivered at their destination. Tucson today occupies the same ratio, geographically and commercially as Omaha, Salt Lake, Sacramento, Los Angeles, Fl Paso. That our merchants have confidence iH rhis future is proved by a brief conVer- sation with them.

The exhibit will consist of at least four hundred animals, and will include a fine group of ten Rocky mountain sheep, seven Rocky mountain goats, nine moose, eight elks, seven antelopes, five caribou, five buf- falo and twelve deer including mule, white-tailed, Virginia and others; eight wolves, timber and coyote; five noun tain lions, six bears, twelve foxes, in- cluding a beautiful silver gray; besides large number of lynx, wildcats and other smaller animals.
 At Chicago the exhibit will be di- vided into fifteen groups It will oc- cupy a room SSxGO feet and the entire floor space is to be built up to represent a natural landscape, with rocks, grass, cacti, willows, qualling asp and natural fir and evergreen trees. On each side of the wing will be built tall cliff and in between valley with running stream of water, lake and swamp. On the back it is intended to have a pano- ramic painting, continuing the effect of the scenery of the foreground and giving distance to the scene. Each group of animals will be placed among surroundings initiative of their native haunts; the moose will be seen in natural positions in the swamp; the goats and sheep on the rocky cliffs and the buffalo on buffalo grass prairie. One feature of the exhibit will be ''CO- manche," Gen. Busters famous war horse, that has been mounted by the professor within the last year.
