AN ARIZONA SANDSTONE.
Curious Effects OF a Storm on the
Untamed Desert.

Curious Effects OF a Storm on the
Untamed Desert.
San Francisco Chronicle.
Last Sunday, from 10 o'clock till
night, one of the most severe sand
storms known for years prevailed
throughout the larger portion OF Ari-
zona. 1t was not so severe in Phoenix
as in some other places, but here the
particles. which penetrated every nook
and Granny OF the buildings. Visitors
from Tucson say that there for hours
it was impossible to see two blocks, and
the sun looked as If one were peering at
it through a smoked glass. In the
rooms in Phoenix only few minutes
|sutliced for the sand TO settle on sheet
of paper so much as to obscure writing.
If one has never seen q sand-stOrm
such as blow on the desert between San
BernardinO and Ell Paso it is curiosity
The wind reaches velocity of fro IN
forty to eighty miles per hour, aad
Everything that is loose is carried be-
fore it. The sand dunes of all sizes on
the desert are lifted and shifted from
place to place, assuming new and
fantastic shapes. Often it looks from
the car windows like q great sea of
powdered snow. rolling billow upon
billow across the desert. Then a
contrary gust will catch it, hurl it high
in the air and obscure everything. The
sharp parpticles and even small gravel
will strike one on the face and hands
with such force as to make him feel
as if he we're being pelted with small
shot. When travellers on the desert
are caught by such storms the only
way to protect themselves is to sit
down with their backs to it, cover their
faces and wait for it to subSide.
Fortunately, Phoenix has but few of
these storms, and there have been only
two that might be called sand-stOrns
during the last two years. The last
lone came from the southwest, and
having, as it did, fair sweep across
the desert south of the river, the day
was made almost intolerabe. One
gentleman, responsible official of the
Territory, came thirty miles In the
storm Sunday, and says that it was the
worst he ever saw. On the Aqua Fria
whole groves of mosquito were borne
ldoWn, and drifting sand covered up
land annihilated many wood camps
scattered along the edge of the desert.

THE DELICIOUS SPINACH,
And the Proper Way in Which t.
Cook 1t.


New York Tribune.
AS spinach is often cooked it is n
coarse dish, whereas it should be one of
the most delicate and refined vegetables
that come upon our table. In order to
free it from certain rankness of the
green leaf it must be blanched. To do
this, wash it very thoroughly, cut of
the stalks, and boil it in abundance of
salted water for fifteen minutes. Then
drain it through co.ander, and i'm
merse it in the colander in pan of cold
water.
When it has become thoroughly cold,
drain it again and chop it fine. 1t is
now ready to be cooked and is In the
condition in winch it is often found in
the French markets. 1t may be kept in
this condition over night or for num-
Der of days. As a rule, spinach Is
cooked too long. 1t Is not uncommon
for New England housewives TO cook il
for one or two hours, and the result is a
coarse, iavorless vegetable, poor i'm
color and only made palatable BY smoth-
ering it in vinegar.

A HOmoyaIIst cnrrcCts some Impressions
Cruatsd by Rsglstsr Correspondent
TO hs Editor Of Tho IaicllasaaGr.
STAT In the Register of tue 18th there
was communication purporting to De
written by person from Davis, in
which he attempts to portray the
whole situation regarding tho "Ircker
county seat war" His statement Of
faeis regarding the elections held to
remove tho county seat from st. George
is in the main correct, but he fails to
say that at the special election held on
tho 2Sth day OF April, 1893, there We're
/, ITO votes east for the removal OF the
county seat from st. George TO Parsons,
and but 5l4 votes cast against removal,
showing that more than two'thirds oil
the voters OF the county We're In favor
OF removal. lie further fails to SAY
that he does not hall from Davis, as he
would like to have us believe, but IRON
the county clerks office, which used to
DO at ST. George, but, Rlas never more
to he; and also four or five persons at
st. George headed by the county clerk
were trying to 0hstruCt tho will OF the
people aud the order OF tho court, and
not allow the records to DO moved to
Parsons on the 9TH day OF August, as
ordered
The people OF Tucker county, having
been submissive under "ring rules" and
''political chiCanery" even to that point
where "eRduTauCe ceases to be q virtue,
Went TO St, George and quietly and or,
DERBY went into tho old court house and
removed thereirom everything belong
ing TO tho CounIy in the way OF records
aud furniture, and the next day, as soon
as it was possible to be done, laced
them in good shape in the court house
at the county seat, which tho people,
the county Court, the circuit court and
Judges OF the supreme court have all
said is ut Parsons,
Nav aS to tho "mob" being headed
by the prosecuting attorney the cor
respondent has either been mlsln'
formed or is so unfamiliar with the
truth that he does not know how TO
hapdleit. The truth OF the matter is,
that the prosecuting attorney was at
Parsons at the time and the next morn
ing when he heard the records were
being moved and the clerks Of the
courts were nowhere to be found, he
went at once to the scene oil action to
see that none Of the records or property
OF the county was lost, or in any way
destroyed; and this we think was q
much more commendable action upon
hiapaTt than for tho county clerk to
refuse to occupy his office in opposition
to right, Justice and the oath OF his
Office, "a REMovAtlsT'"

A Circular Urging Repeal ~ the sherman
AGt-Mhy-It is Necessary. ~
NEw York, August 22,-William +.
Rhawn, president OF lhe American
Banking Association, mailed circular
to all banks and bankers in the United
States to-day, The circular statos that
owing to the monetary crisis through
which the country is passing al present,
the convention called to meet at Chl-
cago on the sixth and seventh proSimo
is indefinitely postponed, yhe circular
also contains the following
'rrhe repeal OF the purchasing clause
of tho Sherman bill il demanded in the
interests OF those faYoring q gold
standard and Of those favoring the use
OF silver with gold, as the continued
purchase OF enormous quantities al
silver with gold obligations can only re-
suit in the final inability u the goYern-
ment to redeem such obligations in gold
aud tho continued oyer-production and
consequent inrther depreciation OF sill
YER, thus rendering tho prospect oil any
international agreement OF lts more
generous use throughout tho world
more impossible than at present,
"Ihe President OF the United States,
having convened Congress IN extra aea-
sion, and recommended it to such re-
peal, the power oil public opinion
should be- brought to bear upon Cons
gress toinduce favorable action thereon.
This may best ba done by invoking the
MD OF the press and by c,li2ens writing
to their senators aud Representatives
and by sending to them petitions urg'
ing such repeal all OF which should be
done TO the fullest extent possible and
without delay.
"a blank form of petition IL en-.
closed 10 be circulated among mer'
chants business men and others Tor

The slrIngency Has IpterEored With
Gambling at the Race TFnoks'
NEW YoRK, August 2l.-Bookmakers
doing bushes. at the Monmouth Park
and Clifton tracks are having lot Of
trouble in getting currency with which
to carry on their buainess, Theirs is
essentially cash business, and even
certified checks do not go at the race
tracks. Bookmakers will only accept
cash, and they have n lot OF patrons
who want cash in payment OF bets they
have won. The closing OF the Madison
Square Bank was blow to number
OF those men who had their accounts
there, and that accounts for the nom
appearance OF some on the stands they
havo been in the habit of occupying,
But tho closing Of that bank affected
but few. Tho scarcity OF the currency
affects every one of them. 1t also affects
the big betters in the ring who do bus
iness on a cash basis. Some Of these
men who have been in the habit Of bet
ting thousands OF dollars in the course
OF an afternoon now bet but hundreds.

He Tells How the Single Tax Idea Would
Prevent Depression.
New YoRK, August 2l.-To the ques'
ton, "in how far would single tax help
to prevent financial depression like
that now agltating the financial world, :"
Henry George lassnight replied "Sin'
gle tax would prevent it entirely by
preventing the conditions which en-.
gender depression. The only sufficient
explanation OF periodical depression is
that by q natural law all advance and
Improvement add to the value OF land,
or, in other words, increase economic
rent, Therefore under conditions in
which wa allow the owners Of land to
take this result Of general growth for
themselves, the advance is discounted
