4. MoNoToaous OCCUPATION.
The Regular Routine of a Waterman Who
Patrols the OIL Pipe Lines.

nv 8h4AaN
Patrols the Oil Pipe Lines.
Imagine if You can the weary pacing
to and fro Of a Wild animal in its menag-
erie cage, and an idea can be gained of
the monotony endured by the men en-
ployed by tie 1tandard Oil company to
patrol the greet pipe line that leads from
the oil regions down to tidewater at Bay
Dnne on the Kills.
The routine Of th;s,,ort of life is never
varied unless throusS the leakage of the
pipes or the breaking Of the telegraph
wire that parallels the pipe line. In case
of such mishaps the tramp, tramp, tramp
of the Waterman is varied by the judi
cious use of a portable telegraph key and
sounder in advising headquarters that a
leak or a break has occurred.
M. E. Washington is the man who pa
trolls that portion of the pipe line between
Huguenot, N. Y, and Newfoundland,
N. J.. His beat is over % miles long,
and the country through which it ex-
tends is partly inhabited, but for the
most part extremely wild. He has been
a Waterman long enough to be able to
recount many adventures that would fit
tingly become a dime novel hero, and
yet he has come through without appar-
ent harm.
There are pumping stations along TIE
pipe line at certain intervals, and a Wig
liant watch must be kept between them.
Washington section includes two noun
famous ranges. The line runs across
them, as well as across streams, through
swamp and r%avines. up and down hill.
The reason of this is that an air line as
nearly as possible is maintained. In
some instances the line run through cul-
tiyated farms and near dwellings.
The men who perform the duty of
watchmen must be possessed of great
nerve and courage, and they must be in
telligent men, too, with a knowledge
of telegraphy sufficient to enable them
to attach their instruments to the wire
and hold communications with the main
stations. They travel armed and pre-
pared for business if they meet either a
two or four legged adversary by day or
night in some one of the mountain passes
or swamps.
In case of 2 leak in the pipe he ascends
the nearest pole, attaches the pocket in
strument and in a minute is talking"
with the nearest station. If an obstruc-
ton occurs in the pipe, a small metal ban
is inserted and forced through by ON
pressed air. When it reaches the point
where the obstruction is, the pressure
causes the ball tocease the clicking noise
it has made while passing through the
pipe, and the Waterman, who must fol-
low the sound, no matter how far, then
discovers where the obstruction lies.
The salary Of 1925 a month is not high
when the hardships of such a life are
considered, and when these are coupled
with the miseries attendant upon severe
winters, hot summers and the constant
changes in this climate of ours it can be
seen that there are many kinds of EN-
ployment preferable to watching along
the big Standard pipe line, even though
the wages are a little larger than most
mechanics earn.-New York Herald.

And TO his garden hieth;
And all the spare time he steals away,
The hoe he gently plieth.
The robins enjoy his ~strawb'ries rare;
A worm each cabbage gnawefh,
And DER the young corn he's watch'd with care
A thievish crow now caweth.
The potato bug is everywhere;
Deceit In all things lieth;
At last he gives up, and in despair
His garden sass he buyeth.

ADJOURNED UNTIL THURSDAY
Land Court Likely to Take Up the
 Nogales Case at This Sitting.

The Land Court convened this morn ing at 10 o'clock. Attorney Rochester Ford appeared for Ainsa ct al., and Col. Herring for the Cameron brothers. To the answer filed by Ford, Attorney Matt G. Reynolds of Missouri introduced and argued demurrer in behalf of the gov ernment. A motion was made fora rule on the part Ot defendants to file the original grant papers with the clerk of the court which they confessed. The court then adjourned until next Thurs day morning.
 h regard to Los Nogales de Elias case there seems to be some question whetber t wIll be taken up at this ses- sion or not although it IS probable it will. Attorney Reynolds for the a1v- ernment is prepared to prosecute it at once, but the defense desires an agree ment that if there should be any omis- sion in their proofs they may have the privileoe of introducing them later at Santa Fe. The representative NOgales gentlemen who are at present in the city are considering the matter and if 1t is decided to make the concession to the claimants the NOgales case will in all likelihood be taken up at once.
 The judges of the Land court are all men of distinguished bearing several of them of cidedly venerable aspect They are known to be men of excep- tional ability and wide experience in land matters.

A New Cnpst-FInder

An ingeniOusly constructed coast finder for coast lines is among the re- gently Invented novelties. The device requires a solid foundation as close to the shore line as possible. The semi circular bed plate is eleven feet long and eight feet wide, most accurately planned, and an arm pointed at the center and moved by hand wheel, car ries a telescope, horizontal and depres- sion verniers, pencil and various appli- ances. A chart of the harbor is accu- rately adjusted under the arm, and as the telescope is made to follow a fixed point on the hull of an approaching ship the movement and position of the latter are traced by the pencil on the chart, on a scale of 1-1,OOO inch to one foot. It is stated that tests made upon buoys some four or five miles distant in- dicated their true distance within the brief space of q few inches.

HARD ON THE HAIR.
The Disastrous Effects of Using Naturi
 Gas.


 Gas.
 When natural gas from a partial fuel came to be used for cooking and heating solely, and in great degree for illuminating purposes in Pittsburgh, the hair of Pittsburghers began to fall 0u: in a most alarming fashion. Women were victims more than men a result doubtless caused by the fact hat houses a1e usually warmer than 5t:jces and men less confined by their business than women, through their so-
 ial and domestic duties.
 The seeds of the complaint, accord
 ng to tle Chicago Journal. were sowed 'ecplr the first year that gas was intro 3uccG into houses for domestic pur- 1oses. That was before the days of letcrs and the fifteen cents per thou
 and rate. Gas was given away almost
 hen in yearly contracts. People who had been cold all their lives on hard coal at eight dollars a ton began to warm up and the tOrrid gene prevailed everywhere.
 The Philadelphia company was amply revenged for the wasting of its gas by the way the furniture warped and by the shedding of their patrons hair The ladies discovered the new com plaint first. When they patted their bangs, after the fashion of gentle wOmankind, a mesh of hair would come away in their fingers, and if they only crooked their hands threateningly toward an erring husbands locks, all the hairs that were unsafe in their foun- datiOn in his head would drop abjectly to the floor.
 Society, of course, has deluged its du- chesse lace handkerchiefs with bitter tears over the remnants of a passing glory. The poodle and its mistress have mingled their hairs in mutual sorrow, and grave-faced iron manufacturers have come together to determine how the mutability of boards might be pre- vented. The grief of Samson for his shorn head would be but drop in the bucket of tears shed over the stealthy denuding of their polls by the inhabi- tants of Pittsburgh.
 Barbers and hairlressers are endeav- bring to come to the rescue. They make green lotions for arresting the disap- pearance of the mustache, and pink To- tiOns for cOaxing the boards not to de sert the face to which it primarily be- lOnged. There are bang connections and back hair washes, but individually and collectively they all fail in their work of reform.
 Those who can afford it are spending all the summer. and as much of the winter as business permits, far from the haunts of the enemy; while the larger majority of the citizens try to take com fort in the fact that each mans hirsute losses can be matched by his neighbOr six to half a dozen.

Civil Marriage in Hungary.

The ecclesiastical struggle in Hunga- " precipitated by Premier Wel1erle is
 beginning to attract attention all over
 Europe. The premier is endeavoring to force the passage of bill making a civil marriage sufficient in law, and the
 bishops are united in opposing him. The latter have issued manifestoes pro- testing against the proposed law on the ground that it is con- trary to the law of God. and they have called upon the representa- tives, whose official acts they are sup D. posed to greatly influence if not con trol, to vote against the measure The fate of the bill is uncertain. It will doubtless be passed by the lower branch of the legislature, but may be defeated by the upper branch. This struggle has called attention to the fact that in all other continental countries the civil marriage is recognized as le- gal, and that in France. where the church fought so bitterly to preserve ail of It's rights and privileges. the civil marriage IS now the only legal one, the religious ceremony being regarded only as profession of faith.

Accustom Children to Being Examined.
 When child is ailing and the mother cannot determine the nature of the affec- ton she should at once examine the throat, for in these mysterious attacks diphtheria Is one of the diseases which suggest themselves as the probable cause of the symptoms. Besides teaching chil- dren to bear the examinations patiently. mothers will do well to fortify them still further against throat diseases by ac- customing them to the sensations they '1ust experience when applications are made.
 4 large camefs hair brush, which can be obtained from druggists for about five cents. would be suitable for the purpose The handle should be heightened by the means of q penholder or stick, and tue brush first dipped in boiling water After cooling, the brush should be gently ;np!ied to the tonsils and other parts of ne throat in sight This operation at first will cause "gagging," but soon the sensiiveness will be overcome, and tine mild will bear it without any discomfort
 When this has been accomplished the uother may feel guite secure against hal dread malady, diphtheria, for If il 'ccgrs she will be sure to discover il -arly; moreover, local treatment. which elI0m proves unsuccessful. can be easily .pplied Herald.

LecisIative ",Job."

MORALES, Arlz., Feb. F, 1893 Editor CITIZEN:
 On the very first days session of the present Legislature, a 'jOb" appears in the repot of the proceedings, wearing a very innocent gaIb.
 The journal states that bill was in- troduced, authorizing the Boards of Su- pervisors in first class counties to en- DlOy an assistant 10 the tax collector. Is his the first step in the line of re- trenchment and reform sJ loudly prom lsed by the democratic orators and office seekers dur ng the recent campa gn? God save us from such economy.
 With the cattle sll dying o1 our ranges with silver so low that our mines are comp He'd t. clos down, are we to have our already burden of .axstioo in creased for the purpose of swelling the emoluments of the softsst office in tue county.
 The fees of the treasurer, who is ex- officio tax collector, exceed the sum of 5000 year in every first class county iI the Territory. Instead Cf being increased, they should be diminished. If the tax collector wants an assis ant, let him employ one out of his own fees, which are SO far ID exces of what they ought to be. That an assistant IS not necessary IS demonstrated by the fact that the recent treasurer and tax col lec;Or of Pima county not only periorm- ed every duty of said offices himself, but at the same time kept the books of the Building and L1tn n Association, of Tucson, as well as those of Hughes Stevens S Co, one of the largest mer- cantile firms in said city.
 Who introduced this rascally bill? Who is the fath of this measly job? Let some honest member of the Legis- lature. who has the interest of the strUg- gling miners, the ranohmep and the farmers of Arizona ct heart, amend this bill by provision for the reduction of the salary of the treasurer and tax collector to a reasonable sum. Two years ago honest Gust Hoff, who IS him. self an expert bookkeeper, introduced a bill abohshing the extravgent fees of this office, and fixing a full compensa- tion for treasarer and tax collector a salary of S2,5OOOO per year, which IS amply sufficient 10 the humble opinion of an indignant
 TAXPAYER.

Australia Is First.

Eight car loads of goods that were shipped from Australia two months ago have been unloadcd within the aori- cultural building and deposited upon the space assigned to that country. This will be the first exhibit to enter the building, and as the work of install latiOn is to proceed at once Australia will have the honor of being the first in position The space assigned to the ex- hibitors from the antipodes within the agricultural building is on the first floor and just east of the central dome. It is eighty-five by one hundred feet in dimension and well lighted. The ex- hibit is to consist of wool and cereals of all kinds and some canned goods. It is, however, with its wool that Australia expects to make the best showing.
