vino Life of a Shin,

An interesting discussion has been
started on the subject Of the life of the
ships II appears that this is very much
a question Of where the ship is built. 1t
is found that vessels constructed in the
United States last, on an average, 10
years only. French ships average 90;
Dutch, %; German, %; British, 20; Ital-
ian, p, and Norwegian, 80 years, The
average death rate Of the worlds ship
ping is about per cent and the birth
rate per cent. 1t has become the prac-
tice to construct certain parts of YES
sci Of iron instead Of steel, such as tank
tops and decks exposed to the weather,
but it is now found to be IA better plan
to keep the material the same through
out as far as possible, and the steel
should be he same thickness as THERON

How Trees Are Like Human Beings.

Nature has many peculiar laws gov
erning the organism Of trees. One is
that every individual twig, spray, all
the foliage, every fiber, takes precisely
its own thickness of wood from the par
ent stem. This same law is manifested
in the proportions Of the human organ
ism. The length Of the arms from finger
tip to finger tip (arms extended) is the
precise measurement of the length of the
legs Of human being, and other meas
urements are the same in proportion.--

Asking for Cheese.

There was once a little girl--and the
only reason there is none such now Is
that she has grown a big girl-who talk
ed Of everything in the plural. Espe-
cially was Sic likely at the table 10 ask
for forks" spoons" or potatoes
when il was hat one of the articles she
really desired.
One day her papa said to her at din
ner: Kitty, don't ask for biscuits. Say
please give me a biscuit. You don't
want any more than one at time"
mo, papa" was the dutiful answer.
But presently came the request:
please, may | have some rolls"
"a roll" corrected the father, and
she repeated the words carefully.
Then all went well until the cheese
was handed round, and this Kitty was
not usually allowed to eat. Yet she de-
lighted in it and realized that her sue
cess in obtaining bit might be deter
mined by her manner of asking for it.
Leaning forward, she said anxiously, in
soft, sweet voice:
Papa, will you please give me a
cheey'-Youth's Companion.

Remarkable Exploit of a Missouri
Lawyer Now In Phoenix.

Remarkable Exploit OF a Missouri
Lawyer Now In Phoenix.
Among yesterdays visitors to the
CITY Tor his health was John f. Morton,
of Richmond, No. Although quite a
Young man Mr.. Morton holds an envia-
bic place in Missouri legal and political
circles. Mr.. Morton won his spurs in
the legislature of his state four years
ago and next year at st. Joseph demon
strated his ability to wear them, in one
OF the most tumultuous and prolonged
Democratic state conventions ever held
in Missouri where all state conventions
are more or less stormy.
In contest for judge OF the supreme
court there we're several candidates
chief among whom were Judge Burgess
aud Judge Thomas. Burgess was
strongly in the lead and his nomination
seemed ineyitaD ole. Nearly the entire
St. Louis county and city delegations
we're solid for him and the city delegation
was made up OF the most brilliant set
Of bull dozers that ever left st. Louis
in q body.
At midnight of the first day Burgess
strength had reached floodtide though
no BODY knew it. The strength OF
Thomas was separated and uncertain.
The opponents of Burgess began trying
to adjourn and Morton the youngest
man on the floor began series of
speecn es on every conceivable subject.
He was talking against time. His elo-
Qlence at first produced only curses
from the opposition but his persistency,
nerve aud youth at last attracted an
attention which might be described as
half respectful half the time. II he
was not on the floor all the time, a. no
timsdid ten minutes elapse between his
appearances. The band with its ever
lasting Dixie" occasionally silenced
him but with the last note OF music
rose the voice of Morton. At O'Clock
in the morning he had worn himself
ont, but the other 800 delegates bad no
edge on him, they were asleep, paralyz'
cd and dead. The convention adjourned
and by 8 o'clocknext morning Burgess
strength began TO disintegrate. Thomas
was nominated before noon.

The invitation Of an up river vicar to

and there is some danger that contrary

For instance, the presence Of a man in a

Of ladies present that "the poor man had

A Dangerous Fly Bite.

TO be threatened with death from the
bite Of an ordinary house fly is strange
thing, but recently Joseph Swain was in
danger of losing his life from that cause.
Mr.. Swain had q slight abrasion on the
skin of his left hand. 1t was very sim
pie injury, not being severe enough to
break the outer cuticle. On Saturday,
while seated in his house, he felt a
sharp, singing sensation on the injured
spot. A fly was biting him, and he had
to shake his hand several times to drive
him away. Immediately Mr.. Swain felt
pain in his hand and the hand be IAN to
swell. By evening the swelling and the
pain had extended to the wrist, and the
next morning, when DR.. Peyton was
called in, the whole arm as far as the
elbow had assumed abnormal proper
tions. The patient was suffering excru-
ciating pain, and he had passed night
of agony.
Everything indicated blood poisoning,
and the physician regarded it as a seri-
ous case. The doctor is of the opinion
that there is n new species of fly about
here, the bite Of which is poisonous.
They resemble the house fly in every
way, excepting that they are smaller and
blacker.
The most probable theory is that the
fly injected into Mr.. SWANS arm some
poisonous substance drained from some
thing upon which the fly had been feed
ng.-Stockton Cali Mail.

Sheriff Murphy yesterday afternoon
,elsgraphed to Prescott but late last

BARTON is well known IN Phoenix hov.
inc in an early day run a saloon. lie
;s distinguished for having killed four
men by breaking their necks. Two
we're killed before he came to the terri
torv. one in Phoenix and another at
RiSbee. For the Disbee killing Barton
was sent to Yuma for ten years but was
hardened out. Two witnesses OF the
Filling here were seen yesterday by a
REPUBLICAN, reporter. They said Bar
ton was leading against a hitching post
engaged in conversation. A young
man approached him from behind and
mt his hand on his shoulder and made
some ocular remark. The Young man
sill kept his hand on Barton's shoulder
when the latter without looking around
threw his open hand back and struck
the Young man on the side OF the neck.
The Young man fell dead and an exl-
mination showed that his neck was
broken. The witnesses say that the
action of Barton was not y blow, but
rather push which did not appear to
be a particularly vigorous one ana he
clearly had no intention of injurlng the
victim.
Another report saws that Sheriff
Lowerv was not killed but that he
killed Barton after the latter had fatally
shot two deputies.

Apples in Western New York.

Now that the cold winds of winter are
beginning to blow over us, the apple
buyers are quietly storing away quanti-
ties of fruit to put on the market later
on. This years crop has been a fairly
good one for an off year, and the price
of apples during the winter will be
within reach Of every one, it is said.
Despite the unpromising outlook during
the summer months, growers have pro-
duced enough to supply the home de-
mand.
Erie county is behind in her annual
production perhaps, but Niagara, Or
leans, Genesee, Monroe and adjoining
counties will make up the deficit. In
the western states apples are said to be
scarce, but in the eastern, particularly
Massachusetts and New Hampshire,
quite quantity have been bought up.
The exports this year will be light.
Commission merchants say the year has
been especially good for pears and
quinces.-B Express.
