USES FOR SODA.

Tinware may be frightened by dip
ping a damp cloth in common soda
and rubbing it well.
Very hot soda in a solution, ap-
piled with a soft flannel, will re-
move paint splashes. Use soda in
the water to clean paint and glass
instead of soap.
Strong, tepid soda water will
make glass very brilliant, then rinse
in cold water, wipe dry with linen
cloth.
Ceilings that have become smoked
by kerosene lamps may be cleaned
by washing off with soda water.
For cleaning oil paint before re-
painting, use two ounces of soda
dissolved in a quart of hot water,
then rinse off with clean water.
A lump Of soda laid on the drain
pipe will prevent the pipes becoming
clogged with grease; also, flood the
pipes ono a week with boiling
water, in which a little soda is dis
solved.
Wash white marble porches, bath,
etc, with a mop dipped in boiling
hot water and soda. A good deal OF
soda should be dissolved in the
water.
A little soda put in the water in
which cut flowers are placed will
keep them fresh for a long time.
If grease has been split on table or
floor of kitchen or pantry, put a
little soda on the spots and then
pour boiling water over them.

A ~TENNYSON STORY.

One day, when Mr.. Phelps was
minister at the court of st. James, a
gentleman from Omaha called upon
him with the modest request that he
would assist him in obtaining a
number of autographs of eminent
Englishmen. The visitor was, in
deed, not scrupulous to exclude emf
nent English women, and if Mr..
Phelps could obtain for him a few
friendly lines from the queen they
should have an honored place in his
native town hall, on whose behalf
he had undertaken the commission.
Mr.. Phelps was struck with the
quiet p%ertinacity of the man, and
helped him to a good many valuable
autographs. Appetite growing with
what 1t fed upon, the gentleman
from Omaha declared he could not
go back without obtaining a speci.

do two days work every time
it runs back. Each engineer works
three hours on the flyer, returns
home on an easy train, and then
rests forty hours before his muscles
and nerves and brain are in condi'
ton to repeat the operation.
So it results that twenty-eight
engineers, one at a time, are required
to run this wonderful train from
New York to Chicago and back
again. Fourteen veterans drive the
great engines one way, and fourteen
brother veterans drive them the
other. Twenty-eight men for a sim

engineers splendid fellows, every
one of them,-with cool heads,
stanch hearts, and the experience of
years at the throttle. The fact is,
these men of iron, who, after all, are
made of flesh and blood, have been
called upon of late years to bear
mental and physical strain, which
has increased steadily as the speed
rates have advanced. Forty, fifty,
sixty, seventy, and now eighty
miles an hour each greater velocity
has meant greater pressure, not only
on the boilers and cylinders, but on
mems brains; has meant greater ex-
penditure, not only of coal and dol
lars but of nerve force, until now ex-
perts recognize with concern that
the limit of human endurance has
been almost reached. Science may
remove the mechanical difficulties in
the way of running a hundred miles

may buy better axles, wheels, lubri-
Gators, and machinery. but where

THE BLIND RAT.

A laborer lately told his wife, on
awakening, a curious dream which
he had during the night. He dream
ed that he saw coming toward him,
in order, four rats. The first one
was very fat, and was followed by
two lean rats, the rear rat being
blind. The dreamer was greatly
perplexed as to what evil might
follow, as it has been understood
that to dream of rats denotes com
ing calamity. He appealed to his
wife concerning this; but she, poor
woman, could not help him. His
son, a sharp lad, who heard his
father tell the story, volunteered to
be the interpreter. THE fat rat
he said, lis the man who keeps the
saloon that you go to so often. The

EATING ORANGES,

In southern Europe the peasants
always eat fruit in it's natural shape
and never think of treating it to
doses of sugar, salt or other season
ing. Around Naples and in Malaga
the people bite a hole in the orange,
suck out the juice and then throw
the orange away. Small American
people often do the same, but OF
course the American must try his
hand at improving nature, so he puts
a lump of sugar in it. An orange
planter thinks such a thing desecra,

Just at present Wilcox is de- pressed at the cattle prospect. From this, however, good is likely'to come. Wilcox now wants to figure as an agricultural country. This it is capa- ble of doing, it's resources in thatdi- rection being ample. The soil is fer tile and the water can be raised from moderate depth. Cattle sell as feeders for from 80 to SIP head. As beef stock at Tempe, after feed- ing on alfalfa, they sell from $30 a head upwards. This difference is a profit on the alfalfa. This Will COX intends to have.-Willcox Stockman..

Wanted the Roll.

Charley, who runs the crap game at Dunn x Porter's Saloon, partici pated Wednesday in rather unique adventere. A man entered the sa- loon about 4 p. m., and walking up to the bar picked up a heavy stone receptacle used as a match holder, approached the crap table and de- manded the bank roll, at the same time making demonstrations with his formidable weapon, which indi- cated that he was uncomfortablyin earnest. It was apparent that he was irrespOnsibly drunk and vicious, and that to attempt to barley, with him unarmed would only result in the injury of the party opposing him.
 "The pile is yours" said Charley coolly, and stepping over to the bar he procured his six-shooter and re- turned to the table. The man with the match safe was buisy slowing away about $50 in silver in his overalls, and when commanded to put back his stealings and leave the place, he kept right on with the op- eration. Then Charley interposed, and for a minute or two it was diff cult to say which would break first, the hold-up's head or the barrel of the revolver. In the melee the gun went off, the ball caring it's way through the flesh on the top of the iztruder's shoulder and burying it. self in the wall of the building. At this point the bold, bad man wilted and suffered himself to be led into the butcher shop next door and de- spoiled of his plunder. The man is well known in these parts, and it being apparent that his desperate and foolish escapade was only the result of too much whisky, the sa- loon people refused to prosecute and he was set at liberty.-Gallup Cleaner.

 He had appealed his case ts the su- preme court, which affirmed the sentence of the lower court on the 25th of January.

Ash Fork was made quite lively this week in consequence of another
 murder and an attempt at suicide. Bertha, one of the girls of the town deliberately fired two shots into her body, no doubt intending to end her shameful life, infictingi injuries from which it is doubtful she will ever recover. Late information states that she is still alive. Salva- dor Armijo is the name of the mur- derer and his wife of a few months was his victim. There has been trouble between Armijo and his wife, and he was intensely jealous of her. She had been stopping at her faith er's in Phenix, NJ. :E. Ev1ston, a well known citizen of the territory, and came to Ash Fork only short time ago. Armijo met her on the street and requested her to go to the ranch with him. She refused where upon he told her to go back to her parents and upon refusing this re- quest also he began firing, Two shots took effect, each making a mortal wound. For an instant the murderer paused after firing the last shot and gazed on his senseless victim. He then fled to the noun tains. A posse at once started after him, but at this writing it has not been learned with what success they met,-Williams News.

THE Breeders Gazette. of Chicago, publishes voluminous report from the cattle feeding districts, says the Wilcox Stockman, and sums up the whole situation by saying there is a distinctly better feeling prevailing at the present time is self-evident. The high price of hogs and the firm tone of the cattle market-especial- ly on good fat steers-has stimu- lated the hopes of feeders all over the west, and the best of it is that there are many reasors for believing that good prices are apt to rule for some months to come.
