mas entertainment. The room was .beauti-
fully decorated with evergreen, &c. Two
large Christmas trees, loaded down with
oranges, bananas, candy, &c, added greatly
to the appearance of the room as well as to
the JOY of the pupils. The exercises, which
consisted Of speeches, dialogues, Rotations
and singing, were of a very interesting char

pupils. After the exercises were concluded
Mr.. NJ. T. Yeiser, the teacher, presented
each pupil with oranges, bananas, peanuts,
candies, &C., after which the pupils presented
the teacher with a pair of very large and
handsome vases. The house was crowded
with patrons and visitors, which shows the
high esteem in which Mr.. Yeiser is held as
teacher of said school. Mr.. Yeiser has been
teaching at this place for twelve years.

Two Tempe Men Make a Cir

And Wander All Night Thirsty, Hungry and Thoroughly
 Frightened.

W. c. Armstrong and tenderfoot, were lost for nine hours on the desert on Sunday night. They started from Sacaton at 4:S0 p. m., and reached Tempe after o'clock on Monday morn- ing. The distance is scarcely thirty five miles and is usually driven in five hours. They missed the road, when but twelve or fifteen miles from Ssca- ton and wandered about until daylight during which time the team was crowd ed by the thoroughly frightened gentle men. Woody said they milled thereby making three complete circles, arriving each time before a familiar land mark. Fortunately they had big canteen we'll filled with water and the novice was thirsty every fifteen minutes, while Woody was at first cool and col lected soon grew feverish and assisted materially in reducing the water sup ply. At daylight, they found them selves within fifteen miles of Tempe and by breakfast time, they reached home, tired, with team badly iaded. Woody says he woule not undergo the same experience for sl,000, while the gringo could not be induced to cross the desert today for deed to the ter ritory.

TEMPE ECHOES.

Judge Werner and O. L. Gibbs spent & part of last Sunday in Tempe. They also took a run up to Mesa.
 c. l.. Hall, L. c. Bennett and Steve Bailey of Mesa, were in Tempe yesterday on business connected to the mines at Superstition.
 Gene Angelman went to PhGnix on Sunday evening to see his nephew, the bouncing boy recently presented to the family of E. Gang, at that place.
 E. O. Tovrea, of Gila Bend, who has for some days been at Tempe, started yesterday for his home ranch with l25 head of cattle that he had been pastur- ing in this vicinity.
 Frank Criswell, of Bark X Criswell, was in Tempe yesterday looking after the cattle they have in pasture here. Water in some localities is scarce aad it is necessary to move to other pastures.
 Hayden enjoys large trade with the Pimas and Yaquis which is perhaps due to the fact that he has not kept pace with modern business methods but prefers the style that antedates the Hassayamper.
 J. D. Bethune, has been authorized by San Francisco parties to bond some mines at Goldfeld, giving him the latitude up to $l0,000 a claim, on which they agree to spend at least half that amount in development work.
 P. B. McCabe and J. B. Woodward, {, took the Mesa stage yesterday morning for the Hill City, at which place they will start by private team for Florence, to be in attendance at the trIal of the Walker case, in which the gentlemen are counsel for Juanita Walker, the plaintiff in the case.

DOES FREEZING KILL FISHES2
Result of a Practical Test of This Inter
 esting Question.

h
 esting Question.
 A number of live perch were secured and placed in water at the ice manu- factory, says the New Haven Register, and the water was put in the process of specialization. It requires about sixty hours to freeze a cake of ice, and during this time the fish were watched to ascertain the effect of the intense cold which surrounded them. They kept alive and continued to swim in the water until their confines were so narrowed that they had no space in which to move. The ice in its freezing process begins at the outside and freezes toward the center, so the space in which the fish had their liberty was gradually narrowed down until the fish were encascd and the water around them froze, pinioning them tightly in its folds.
 Each fish when the cake was com pleted was as natural as life, its fins and tail being spread as they were while in the act of swimming. The cake of ice containing the fish was placed on exhibition, and numerous bets invo ing several hundred dollars were m4Nc as to the outcome of the experiment. The cake was left intact for a day or SO and then cut open and the fish taken out and placed in water, They were left for some time, and of the five fishes which were originally put in the cake none of them exhibited return to lie so far as can be defi- nitely determined except one, and whether Gl.i5 one was indeed alive is open tO conjecture. After being placed in water this orc fish, it is asserted, moved from the position in which it was placed and assumed an entirely different position which it is believed the fish made itself However, as no one saw the movement it is taken that the death of the remaining fish is proof positive that this one fish was also dead and that the change of position was the result of something else than life in the fish.

ABOUT ROOT CROPS.
They Are Profitable for Farms Near the
City Markets.

They Are Profitable for Farms Near the
City Markets
Many farmers have learned that good
crops Of potatoes are profitable when
grown near enough to market to be
disposed of without too long carriage.
The same consideration must be re-
garded in growing crops of beets, tur-
uips, carrots, parsnipS and other roots.
They are both bulky and heavy in pro-
portion to their price. A good deal Of
hard work must go for all the money
they bring. That is true also of pota-
toes. They are not like the cheaply
and easily harvested grain crops. The
roots are worse than potatoes in this,
that after they are out of the ground
their tops have to be cut off. Potatoes
can be dug by machinery, and only
need hand labor in picking up and con-
vcying to the market wagon. Well
grown root crops, however, yield so
much more heavily than do average
potato crops that for those not afraid
of hard work they pay better than
most others. If land is good and sea-
son favorable they will, at low price,
give a large return per acre. Root
crops are one of the sure ways by
which an Industrious man can pay for
his farm. Maybe he will earn his
farm while paying for it. Most do.
But it is at least better than the hard
work that men most afraid of labor
often are obliged to do and get no re-
turn at all If man has enough to
sustain himself while working 1t he
may buy an acre Of rich land, put it
into roots in the spring, and pay for the
land with the product the coming fall
1t is not very likely that the price of
any kind of roots will fall low enough
to prevent this being done. There is
never likely to be the close competition
in root growing in this country that
will always prevail in grain growing.
Though they may not wish to grow
roots for market, yet farmers should
grow enough to at least make a change
of feed for the stock they keep through
winter. Turnips and beets are best for
hogs, and are especially good for breed
ing sows before as well as after far
rowing. Carrots are excellent for
horses A peck of them day is worth
more for each horse than the price OF
them in the market. Beets, carrots
and parsuips will each pay better fed
to cows than they will be to market.
With well stocked farm there is a
home market for a large supply OF
roots, and if any are grown for market.
ing by the bushel the home market
may well take the place of any other
when the price is low.

The barn should not be used as
poultry house. The farmer who will
not provide place for his hens is sure
to have a filthy barn, as the hens will
roost on the rafters, on the troughs or
wherever it is most convenient. ltmay
be mentioned, also, that lice will thrive
in a barn as well as elsewhere, and
they multiply very rapidly under the
conditions afforded by barn or stable.
Even during the winter the warmth of
the stable will be sufficient for their
propagation. The work OF clearing a

Third, the spectroscope-that uncrring
instrument of modern rcsearch-shows
that the light emitted by many of them
is very similar to that radiated by the
sun.
Their chemical and physical constitu-
ton is, therefore, probably analogous
TO that of our central luminary. The
red stars certainly show spectra differ
ing considerably from the solar spec
trum, but these objects are compar-
atively rare and may, perhaps, be con-
sidered as forming exceptions to the
general rule.

THE sun AND THE STARS.

Astronomy Now Claims That the Two
Bodies Arc About the Same.
The sun is star, and the stars are
suns. This fact has been a familiar one
to astronomers for many years, says
the Gentleman's Magazine. That the
stars shine by their own inherent light
and not by light reflected from another
body, like the planets of the solar sys-
ten, may be easily proved.
That many of them at least are very
similar to our own sun, is clearly shown
by several considerations.
Three facts prove this conclusively.
First, their great intrinsic brilliancy
compared with their small apparent
diameter, a diameter so small that the
highest powers of the largest tele-
scopes fail to show them as anything
but mere points Of light without meas
urable magnitude.
Second, their vast distance from the
earth, distance so great that the diam
eter of the car'''a orbit dwindles al

TOMB OF A ROMANTIC PAST.
Venice No Logger Living City, But
Merely Vast Museum.

Venetian life in the large old sense
has since come to an end, and the es-
sential present character of the most
melancholy of cities resides simply in
its being the most beautiful of tombs,
SAYS Scribner's. Nowhere else has the
past been laid to rest with such tender
ness, such a sadness of resignation and
remembrance. Nowhere else is the
present SO alien, so discontinuous, so
like a crowd in a cemetery without
garlands for the graves. 1t has no
flowers in its hands, but as compensa-
ton, perhaps-and the thing is doubt
less more to the point-it has money
and little red books. The everlasting
shuttle, in the piazza, of these irrespon-
sible visitors is contemporary Venetian
life Everything else is only rever-
beration of that. The vast mausoleum
has turnstile at the door, and func-
tionary in shabby uniform let's you
in, as per tariff, to see how dead it is.
From this consultation, this cold Curl
osity, proceed all the industry, the
prosperity, the vitality of the place.
The shopleepers and gondoliers, the
beggars and the models, depend upon
it for living; they are the custodians
and the 4lshers of the great museum
they are even themselves to certain
extent the objects on exhibition. 1t is
in the wide vestibule of the square that
the polyglot pilgrims gather most
densely; Piazza San Marco is like the
lobby of the opera in the intervals of
the performance. The present fortune
of Venice, the lamentable difference, is
most easily measured there, and that is
why in the effort to resist our pessim-
ism, we must turn away both from the
purchasers and from the vendors of
ricOrdi.

1t was at the manor house OF her fam
lily in what is now the city Of Yonkers
that Mary Phillipse was born 1862 years
ago. Washington met and wooed her in
1856. but she refused his addresses and
by so doing possibly changed the fate Of
the colonies. When the conflict with
England began score of years later
she and the rest of her family espoused
the Tory cause. and as result they
We're attained for treason and their

the manor house again, not as a wooer
but as Il warrior He made the mansion
his headquarters before and after the
battle of White Plains, and again took
possession of it in 1881 while his army
camped on Locust hill.
The house is a fine old structure, built
with the sturdiness and honesty of pur

London Drinking Water.

Prof. FARMLAND, in his report just
issued, speaks unfavorably of the con-
dition of water when taken for con-
sumption in London during November,
says the London Public Opinion He
saws that on November % the Thames
at Hampton was chemically in an even
worse condition than on October II,
though bacterial it was considerably
better. The water was very turbid and
brown, but was in every case except
one efficiently filtered before delivery.
The unfltcrCd water, taken chiefly
from the Lea by the New River com
pany, was. on November %, both chem
ically and Materially in an unusually
bad condition. Compared with the
sample taken in the previous month, it
contained more than twice as much
organic matter and more than four
times as many microbes. It was also
turbid and yellow, but before it was
distributed it was efficiently filtered
and improved. The deep well waters
of the East London and Colne Valley
companies contained more organic mat
ter than usual, but they were, organ
ically, much better than any of the
