The sculptors in Greece are cele-
brated, but sculptor in grease" is
something of a novelty in the art
world. Nevertheless Washington
possesses 81 ch a phenomenal artist,
who finds cope for the exhibition of
his genius not in classic marble or
plastic clay, but bas-relief models in
lard and busts in butterine. His
namc is B. c. Ford, and his studio is
at the west of Center market
The way Mr.. Ford entered upon
his artistic career was entirely by
accident. 1t is his custom to pile fif-
~ or sixty pounds of lard upon his
counter, and one day he carelessly
picked up knife and carved a bas-
relief portrait in the side. 1t was
merely an ideal head, drawn at ran
dom, but possessed such merit as to
attract considerable attention and
custom from the marketers. Sena-
tor Manderson, who happened along,
was particularly struck with the por-
trait, which he declared to be re-
markable likeness OF Sir Walter Ra-
leigh.
Since then Mr.. Ford has continued
his experiments and developed con-
siderable skill in manipulating his
novel material for modelling. His
tools are ordinary carving knives,
with which he chisels out in rough
some ideal face. The features are
afterward nodded and smoothed by
the fingers, the warmth of which
renders the lard plastic. When this
has been done to the artists salts
faction he dips his fingers in ice wa
ter, which chills and fixes the fea-
lures, at the same time imparting a
marblelike gloss to the bust and
showing almost translucent in the
electric light. Washington Post.

The sandsto orms of African deserts
are caused by the great power of the
suns rays, the extreme dryness of
the air and the small conducting
power of the sand The superficial
layers of sand in the deserts of Afri-
ca and Arabia often become heated
to 200 degs. Fahrenheit to depth of
several inches. The air resting on
this hot sand becomes also greatly
heated, thus causing ascending cur
rents. AS result of these air flows
in from all sides, and different cur
rents meeting cyclones are formed,
which are swept onward by the
wind prevailing at the time. Since
the temperature of the air, originally
high, is still further raised by the
heated grains of sand with which it
is loaded it rapidly increases to a
most intolerable degree. In the
shade it has been known to reach
126 degs. 1t is to the parching dry
ness of this wind, its glowing heat
and its choking dust, and not as is
sometimes supposed, TO any poison
GUS qualities it possesses that its de-
effects on animal life are to
be ascribed. The effects of sand
storms are most terrible, large cara
vans being frequently overwhelmed
and destroyed by them. 1t was ~
their agency that the armies of Cam
byses and Sennacherib were annihi-
lated. Brooklyn Eagle

ModernIrlng tho Mother of Cities

The Mother of Cities is in some re-
spects the newest of them all One
half of Rome is as new as back
woods settlement, and strenuous eff
forts are being made to furbish up
the other half. But with the latest
innovation in Rome there is not
much need to quarrel. The city is
now lighted by electricity, generated
by the cascade of classic Tivoli. Such
things, in such connection, sound ap-
pallingly modern; but nothing of
that kind is too strange not TO be
true, now that we seem likely before
long TO hear the cry of Change here
for Damascus w-San Francisco Ar
gonaut.

rhe Fastidiousness of the Average Man
vanishes at the Free Lunch Counter.

rhe Fsstfdiousness of the Average Man
vanishes at the Free Lunch Counter.
To the student of human nature
the free lunch counter offers fruit
full field for observation and cogita
ton.
The average New Yorker, who has
money enough to command a fair
share of the comforts of life, prides
himself on being rather fastidious
about his victuals He insists on
cleanliness above all things. He be
comes very indignant if at restau-
rant plate is set before him that
bears the imprint of dirty fingers.
His knife and fork must bear no
trace of the service they have done
for the guest who last used them.
His cup and saucer must be immacu-
late or there will be trouble for some
body. And if he should discover in
any way that the food set before
him was something which had been
previously handled and rejected by
other patrons of the restaurant
why, he would take fit right off,
and when he recovered he would
bring suit against the proprietor,
confident in the assurance that any
jury which wasn't tampered with
would award him heavy damages.
But when he copfronts free lunch
counter all his fastidiousness van
ishes. He sees dozens of hands paw
ing over the contents of various
dishes which are all supposed to be
more or less provocative of ardent
thirst, without any sensations of
squeamishness becoming apparent in
his interior department. He calmly
helps himself to piece of ham or
scrap of cheese and proceeds to con-
sumo it without being in the slightest
degree disturbed by the reflection
that the particular morsel he chose
for the qualification of his appetite
had been touched by many fingers
some probably greatly in need of
washing-before he secured it.
If he uses a fork to help himself to
beans or potato salad or mussel or
two, it isn't a clean fork that he en-
ploys. 1t is fork that he picks out
of jar of dirty water, into which
the man who last used it dropped it.
That makes not the slightest differ
ence to him, however. in a saloon,
although in a restaurant it would
justify him in raising Cain" But
when he goes to get his drink there
will be the deuce to pay if he detects
the decocter mixing him cocktail
in glass that is not perfectly clean.
All this the philosopher would say,
tends to show that the average mar
is more creature of habit than of
reason, and that what fastidiousness
he manifests is simply based on Gus
tom. New York Herald.

Tho Size of Families.

The decrease in the size of families
is subject which causes some alarm.
Taking the United States as a whole,
it is found by the census figures that
in 1850 the average family consisted
of 5.55 persons. There has been a
gradual decrease, it being in 1860
5.29, in 1870 500, in 1880 5.04 and in
1890 494. Looking at the different
geographical divisions, it is found
that this rule holds true except in
the western division, where the aver
age size of the family has risen from
AIS in 1850 to 4.68 in 1890, the in
crease having been steady through
the intermediate decades.
This result would have been ex-
pected, OF course, OH account of the
settlement of the west in the last
few years, the population having in
creased rapidly and being more and
more brought to the family basis in
stead of that of single individuals or
young families settling in western
territories. The small average size
of the family in Oklahoma shows
the influence Of new settlements
upon the size of the family
In Oklahoma the size of the fam
lily will increase until population be-
comes fairly dense, when it will fol
low the rule of older communities
and decrease. When population be-
comes more or less urban in charac-
ter the maximum is reached, and
after that a constantly receding av-
erage will probably be shown at
each succeeding census.--Carroll d.
Wright in Popular Science Monthly.

Sound to the Core.

The following planks from the
Minneapolis Republican platform
are of interest to our readers:
eve favor the admission of the re-
naming territories at the earliest
practical date, having due regard
to the interests of the people of the
territories and the United States.
All federal officers appointed for
the territories should be selected
from bona fide residents thereof,
and the right of self government
should be accorded as far as prac-
tical.
"The American people from ira
dition and interest favor bimetal-
lism, and the Republican party
demands the use of both gold and
silver as standard money, with
such restrictions and such provis-
ions, to be determined by legisla-
ton, as will secure the mainten-
ance of a parity of values of the
two metals, SO that the purchasing
and debt paying power of dollar,
whether of silver, gold or paper
shall be at all times equal"

LOCAL BREVITIES.

The S. P. railroad employees will
make an effort to secure the par
don of Geo. w. Best, who was con-
victed in Mohave county of an as
sault with deadly weapon and
sentenced to prison for two years.
Eddie Hodges returned from
Tucson, Monday, where he has
been for nearly two years at school
He has grown so tall that his
friends hardly knew him. He
stood high in his studies and de-
pertinent. He will return and
finish his course Of study.
Ramon Ochoa was down from
the Cargo Muchacho mines Sun
day. He says that everything is
moving along as usual; the mill
running on full time. The shaft
on the Guadalupe mine which is
now 100 feet deep will be sunk 100
feet deeper. The prospects are ex-
cellent that the mine is a good one.
We are pleased to note in the
report of the San Francisco public
schools for the year just closed,
that Ramon Avila, one of Yuma's
well known young men has march
ed up and into the very front rank
of the best pupils in the school,
standing honorary No. for the
last term and No. 8 for the year.
When he entered the school he
stood 26, then 20, then IL, grad
ually rising to No. 1, where he has
stood for the past five months.
He will graduate next May. Ra-
mon stands in his studies where
his sister does in her music. Pity
that Yuma had not more of such
sons and daughters.
