Gigantic Leaves.

What trees bear the largest leavesp
An English botanist tells us that it is
those that belong to the palm family.
First must be mentioned the Inaia
palm, of the banks of the Amazons,
the leaves of which are no less than
fifty feet in length by ten to twelve in
width. Certain leaves of the Ceylon
palm attain a length of twenty feet
and the remarkable width of sixteen.
The natives use them for making tents.
Afterward comes the cocoanut palm,
the usual length of whose leaves is
about thirty feet. The umbrella mag
nolia, of CeYlon, bears leaves that are
so large that a single one may some
times serve as a shelter for fifteen or
twenty persons. One of these leaves
carried to England as a specimen was
nearly thirty-six feet in width. The
plant whose leaves attain the greatest
dimensions in our temperate climate
is the Victoria regia. A specimen of
this truly magnificent plant exists in
the garden of the Royal Botanical So
ciety of Edinburgh. It's leaf, which
is about seven feet in diameter, is
capable of supporting a weight of 395
pounds. Scientific American.

Though the Chinese have been in
this country so long time and have
become so numerous, it is said of them
that they do not and cannot compre.
bend the status of the police, re-
marks the New York Sun. Their first
idea is that a policeman is a sort of
feudal ruler, with the right to chop of
their heads or levy on their property
or do as he pleases with them. They
have no fault to find with such rulers.
They are used to them in China. In
fact, as soon as they find out that the
police are mere watchmen on salary
set to guard the public peace they be-
come disturbed and confused and end
the strain on their minds by deciding
that the policemen must be soldiers,
and that is what nearly every China.

Yen ConntY LIS Monument.

Yell County, Arkansas, bears the
name of a hero. 1t was named after
Archibald Yell, who was once a Fed
eral Judge in the Territory of Arkan-
sas, says the Arkansas Gazette, and
was elected to Congress the year the
Territory was admitted into the Union
as a State. The year James Ii. Berry
was born Yell was inaugurated Cover
nor Of Arkansas. When Berry was
learning in Alabama how to speak that
sweet Southern accented language,
Yell was again elected to Congress.
After serving one year of this term in
Congress he resigned to fight for his
country in its war with Mexico. He
led the First Arkansas Cavalry at the
battle of Buena Vista, and while en-
gagged in charge at the bead OF his
column he was killed,

The popular idea of Siberia, accord
ing to the Chicago Record, is that it is
barren desert extending from the
frozen ocean of the north to the burn
ing sands of the tropics, but this is
great mistake. The population of Rus
sia in Asia is nearly 5000, 900. There
are several cities with population ex-
ceeding 80, 900. The agricultural pro-
ducts reported, which constitute only
a very small portion of the whole, are
valued at an average of $50, 900, 900 a
year, the output of the mines exported
is valued at upward of $40, 900, 900
annually, and the furs, fish, skins
and other products that come into
European Russia from Siberia are
worth So, 600, 900 or So, 900, 900 more.
But this population is scattered over
an enormous area; it is only partially
civilized; the greater portion of the
country does not expect or aspire to
the production of anything more than
is necessary for local consumption
the means of communication and trans.
portation are lacking, and, as pro
ductive industry is measured in the
European countries and America, il
may be said that two-thirds Of the
people are habitually idle.

MIDNIGHT SONG.


The star that in the midnight sky
Above the heaving foam
Shines brightly when the storm Is nignI
To guide the sailor home;
That peerless light no gloom can blur
Shines not more pure above
Than innocency beams in her
The little lass love.
Star Of my heart, o dreaming star,
From balmy sleep arise
Shed ono soft ray
To bless my lay
Before the darkness flies.
The rose that in the night wind sways
So fawless and so pure
IT'S ft to charm seraph's gaze,
A hermit's glance to lure.
Onot more fair is that white rose
In spotless grace divine,
Than Is the lass whose bosom knows
The love that burns in mine.
Rose Of my heart, o rare, white Rose,
In song my love pour!
o come and rest
Upon my breast
White Rose that adore.

THE SOLDIERS OF THE SUN.

Along the margin OF the world
They march with their bright banners
furled,
Until, In line OF battle drawn,
They reach the boundaries Of dawn.
They cross the seas and rivers deep,
They climb the mountains high aud steep,
AID hurry on until IN sight
OF their black enemy--the Night.
Then madly rush into the fray
These armies OF the Night and Day.
Swiftly the shining arrows go,
While bugling Winds their warnings blow
Strive as He will, the Night is pressed
Farther and farther down the west.
With golden spear md cleaning lance
The cohorts OF the Day advance.
Thus, daily, is the battle won
By the brave soldiers Of the Sun!

The Swiss Government has, for the
last twenty years, caused observations
to be made through its forestry sta
tions on the temperature of the air, of
the trees and the soil in the forests.
These observations show that the TEN.
perature in the forests is always below
the temperature outside. The tenn
perature also varies according to the
trees composing the forests. A beech
forest is always cooler than a forest
of larch. As. to the trunks of the
trees, they are always colder than the
surrounding air. Regarding the tenn
perature of the soil, it is found that
in the forest the temperature is in
variably below that of the air. Out,
side the forest the soil is always warmer
than the air in summer and colder in
winter.

EeneWing Spiritual krength.
Where Refuge May Be From the VexatiouS pCares of Week Days.

W Today is the day when men turn aside from business cares and women from household and social duties, to gather spiritual strength or physical rest for a renewal of the weekly strug- gle with the world. The numerous church doors of Phoenix stand invit- ingly ajar and THE REPUBLICAN gladly becomes the usher. It's useful ness, but not it's willingness, will depend upon the churches. It gladly becomes the instrument for securing 8 better church attendance and pastors and officers of churches can increase it's efficiency by communicating to it for the Sunday morning issue any infor- mation concerning the service that may attract the attention of church goers.
 Services today are as follows:
 At the Presbyterian church, Adams street and Third avenue, Rev. Preston Mckinney, pastor, there will be 8 morning service at Il o'clock, preceded by Sunday school at 10; Y. P. s. c. E. meeting at 6:30; evening service at 7:30. There will be prayer meeting on Wednesday night at 30.
 At the Baptist church, Second avenue, Rev. s. c. Davis, pastor, services will come in the following order: Sunday school, g 80 a. m. preaching, H. B. Y. P. N. meeting, 6:l5 p. m.; preaching, 7:30; prayer meeting, Wednesday even ing, 30.
 Catholic church, Fourth and Monroe streets, Rev. Father Jovenceau. Low mass ct z. a. m., service in Spanish; ; high mass at g, English service; bene- diction of the holy sacrament at D. m.
 Washington Street Methodist Episco- pal church, C. L. Pearson, pastor. Services today as follows: Sunday school at g :45 8. m.; preaching at Il a. m. Junior Epworth league at p. m. i; Epworth league at 6 80 D. m. services 7:30. Baptismal service in connection with the morning service. Any person desiring the baptism of their children may present them at that time. So- journers are cordially invited to these services.
 This is the first Sunday since the close of the M. E. church South camp meetings at Norton's grove, and servi- ces will be resumed at the Center street church. After the Sunday school at the usual hour, Rev. w. E. Vaughan, pastor, will preach the morning service, and will again conduct services in the evening at 7:30. Prayer meeting will be held on Wednesday night.

And Especially to the Army of "Re-
 publican" Readers.
 After October the price of THE RE- PUBLICAN when delivered by carrier will be 25 cents per week, as has been already announced.
 In order to give subscribers the best service obtainahIe, and to cause as lit- tie annoyance as possible, we have de- cided to give our patrons the benefit of an entirely new system of making col lections. Beginning with Monday, October 8, all bills for subscription will be collected WEEKLY by the superinten- dent of circulation, who will call upon each subscriber on each route on a specified day, which will be duly an- nounced, thus giving every one ample notice. The merchant who receives the paper at his house, knowing just what day the collector will come, leaves the 25 cents at home and avoids being an- noyed by the carrier boy at busy moment.
 We feel certain that this method when once tried by subscribers will prove to be much easier and far more convenient than the old way.
 Bear in mind that THE REPUBLICAN is always first with the news, first from the press and first in the hands of the people,

SENTIMENT IN ARCHITECTURE
A Suggestion to the Builders of the
 New County Jail.

A Suggestion to the Builders of the
 New County Jail.
 Andrew Barry is not 8 particularly sentimental person but when he in- dulges in sentiment he-is able to show a plausible reason for 1t. He now sug- gests that little solid sentiment be incorporated into the foundation of the new county jail It can De done with out weakening that important part of the structure.
 Persons who have had occasion to yioi5 cho vicinity Of Seventh avenue and Adams street can not fail to have noticed huge boulder lying in the road near the corner of the street. There is companion piece to it lying in the yard near McCarthy's black smith shop. These stones are all that 1ouaiil of the second jail of Maricopa county. They were not 8 part of the wall nor the foundation yet without them that old jail would have been as insecure as the. present structure.
 where Talbott & Hubbard's hardware s,oIe now stands. These two stones were embedded in the center of the building. Huge staples were fas- tened in them and to these staples the prisoners were attached by strong chalns. Nobody ever broke jail in those days. MT. Barry proposes that tnvso stunes De made corner stones of the new building and that their history be engraved upon them.
 The idea of anchoring prisoners was evolved out of former but not always satisfactory practice in vogue in an earlier Phoenix jail.
 This jail was situated in the block south ofs the present jail, and the anchoring object there was heavy log. One night there were only two prison CTS fastened to it, but these two were Babe" Dove and George Wright, both of herculean strength. The next morning the jail officials found the in- stitution empty and hole in the wall big enough to drive team of oxen through. A search was made for the prisoners and they were found in front of Washington street saloon still fast to the log. The sheriff ordered them to carry their battering ram back to the jail, but they were in condition of drunken independence and sat down on 1t. Captain Fly Mcdonald came along and offered to compromise the affair. If they would take the log back he would turn them loose. This condition was accepted; the log was restored and Babe and Wright were free American citizens.
