GOOD HUNTING.

Someday, when railroads gets tc
 running down the Colorado, Salt
 River valley may encounter
 rivalry in her pork industry.
 The widest of hogs live both
 above and below Yuma, on the
 Colorado river, in San Diego
 county. While the steamer was lying at Castle Dome landing, a few days since, loading with ore, a fine band of them on the opposite shore came down to the river to feed on the banks, where the grass and weeds were green, and to get a drink of water. They paid no at tention to the boat, nor to the In dians at work. After floating around for awhile, an old boar came out of the brush, and on spying the boat gave swish" and away they all went. Hardly a day passes that the Indians, and cattlemen do not run upon them. These bands seem to be more timid than ugly.
 When the late Thomas Blythe was trying to settle a colony at Lerdo forty-fve miles below Yuma, on the Colorado, he sent down a large number of very fine full blooded Berkshire and Poland China pigs and turned them loose on the banks of the river near Lerdo, where they lived on the roots, grass, weeds, jules and mes quite-beans; bred, multiplied, kept fat and filled the low and tule lands with large number of fine pork CTS. Never seeing a human being except now and then lone Indian, they soon became wild, and wilder still, and scattered until the low lands and woods were full of them.
 Notwithstanding that the coyotes slaughtered the little ones in great numbers, they have increased until it is estimated that at the present time there are more than 10000 of them roaming up and down the Colorado and Hardie rivers, from their mouths up as high as the tide runs, or from sixty to seventy miles this side of the gulf Gazette.

IA Cure for the LiGuOr Habit.

Dr. Robert A. Kitto, a young
 physician and surgeon of Racine.
 Wis, who has achieved a national reputation as an ovariotomist, has come to the front with a cure for dipsomania which he proposes to give to the world-grati5 for the good thatit may do. He believes that he has discovered an infalIible cnre for the drink habit; and he gives the following formula:
 Ichthyol Ammon Sulpho. 2 drachims Hodrostis Sulphate e............l l drachm IT Nux Vomlc -................2 ? drachms A"eSorclne. ...............2 7 drachms Tr Columbo (non-alcoholic) 8 ounces Liq. Ammon, Acitatis, q. q.s........3 ounces
 Two teaspoonfullS every three hours for three weeks.
 Directions to druggists how to compound the medicine.-The Co., Jumbo must be a non-alcoholic tinc- ture. Evaporate the alcohol, then supply the volume left by evapora. tion of the alcohol by an equal volume of water, otherwise an in soluble precipitate will be had.
 Dr Kitto says in note: There is too much thunder and bombast in the w. c. T. U. and allied tenn perance societies; prayer cannot eradicate the appetite for strong drink. 1 am satisfied that the prescription used by me is an infal- lible cure. Hundreds of testimon- ials from the country are coming to me daily telling of it's wonder ful effect. Realizing the power of the press I have decided to sub init this circular to every editor in the country to be published at least once, so that every poor victim of strong drink may be saved

Marvellous Results.

From letter written by Rev. J. Gun derman. of Diamondale, Mich, we are permitted to make this extract: ''l have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Kings New Discovery. as the results were almost marvellous ia the case of my wife. While was pastor of the Baptist Church at Rives Janction she was brought down with Pneumonia succeeding La Grippe. Ter rible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little interruption and it seem ed as if she could not survive them.

Saved by Whisky,

"Do you see that man?" asked
 Mike Rice of Republican reporter
 last night as Pete lngraham passed.
 His life was saved by a bottle of whisky and so were the lives of a lot ot other men with him." con- tinued MT. Rice, who proceeded to tell the story. Ingraham was the boss of a gang of carpenters camp ed along the Hassayampa on that terrible night the Walnut Grove dam went out. Eighty-seven Ar1zonians died that night and the river banks are yet strewn with heavy pieces of machinery and heavy boulders of hundreds of tons weight borne like feathers on the crest of the awful flood. There has not been the giving away of another such immense reservoir since reservoirs began to be con- struCted.
 Lake Conemaugh, which wiped Johnstown out, was small pool compared with the Walnut Grove dam. The break occurred on the night of Washington's birthday four years ago. Dead bodies were found along the Hassayampa months afterward. Many were never found. One large camp was entirely obliterated, annihilated; not man, not a horse, not any, thing belonging to it has ever been discovered.
 But about the efficacy of that bottle of whisky. Pete Ingram got awake in the night burning with thirst. He couldn't find the bottle, though he thought he knew where he left it; he stumbled about and cursed in the darkness until the entire camp was wide awake, and the men awakened, heard noise which could be accounted for on only two theories. Either the end of the world had come, or Walnut Grove dam had gone out. 4 rush was made for the hills, and the needfuI eminence was reached just as the hungry, roaring crest, giea1olug in the dark night, flew along. Pete was the last man: he had found the bottle and he had succeeded in climbing the hill al- most out of reach of the food. He was caught by the tip of the torrent and swept along. He grabbed a strong over-hanging bush and had just enough strength left to drag himself out. The bot tie had been shattered in the wild ride, but Pete had the broken neck and cork in his strong left hand.

 Under the McKinly law cattle men in Arizona were protected against competition with Sonora stock growers, but the Wilson German tariff bill opens the gates along the whole line and instead of $10 duty per head, as heretofore, the law now is twenty per cent ad valorem. Cattle can be purchased in Sonora for $5 per head Mexican or $2.50 per head American After paying duty cattle will stand at $3 per head on this side of the line.

In a letter of recent date to ex- Governor Wolfey, Senator o. H. Platt of Connecticut, thus shows where the blame lies for the delay of action on the Arizona admission bill. Says he:
 "I have no idea that MT. Faulk- ner, the chairman of the committee, lon territoriesO intends. to call up the Arizona bill this session. He would be glad to excuse himself on the theory that there is Repub- lican opposition to it, but I know of none."
 No man is better acquainted with the status of the statehood bill and the causes which impede it's passage than Senator Platt. He was chairman of senate committee on territories during the Fifty Second congress and Is now a member of that committee. That he knows of no Republican opposi- tion to the bill is certainly in this case equivalent to saying that there is none.
 There can. therefore, be no doubt as to the responsibility of whatever delay the bill has encountered or may encounter.
 The only apparent obstacle is Senator Faulkner and he is a Democrat.-Phoenix Republican.

Requisites for Successful
 Fruit Culture.

In a public address on success ful fruit culture, President Will Hams, of New Jersey, is reported as laying down the following seven conditions as necessary, the sub- stance of which we give:
 1. Adaptability of soils to varie- ties.
 ?. Adaptability of the man for the business.
 3. Fertile soil and clean cul- ture.
 4. Productive varieties of showy appearance.
 5. Fruit carefully handled and honestly put up.
 6. Plant sparingly of novelties.
 2. Study how to feed the diff ferent crops, as the farmer does his animals to produce the best results.

Ratios of BIlegiGIEnacy.

A table of statistics of illegiti
 macy in Europe, purchased by Dr
 Albert Lef1ingwell, shows the Irish
 to be the most virtuous of all the
 people, the ratio of illegitimate
 births among them being twenty
 six in every thousand. The En- glish rate is forty eight, and the
 Scotch eighty-two per thousand.
 thus we may roughly say that for
 every child born out of wedlock in
 Ireland two are born in England
 and three in Scotland. In Europe
 at large, Ireland is closely followed
 in it's place of honor by Russia,
 with the low rate of twenty-eight
 per thousand, and by Holland
 with the rate of thirty-two per thousand. The Italian and French rates are respectively seventy-four and eighty-two per thousand, com parable with the rate in Scotland. Among the countries that show the highest proportions of illegitimacy are Sweden, Saxony, Bavaria and Austria, in which the rates range from one hundred to one hundred and forty per thousand. Austria is at the opposite pole from Ireland and takes the lowest place in nor ality among the European nations, with rate of one hundred and forty-six per thousand. The in quiry into the causes of these vary ing rates of illegit1macy raises complicated and interesting prob lens. The causes generally sup posed to be principal factors in the matter are poverty, ignorance, and the contamination of great cities Examining the influence of these, Dr. Lefingwell finds it very slight. In Ireland, the lowest rates are in the poorest countries; and the au- thor affirms that "there is now here such uniform relation between the indigence of a people and the prevalence of illegitimacy as to justify the hypothesis that this phase of moral delinquency in any district Or country can be accur- ately described as caused by its AS little can the infu- ence of great cities account for the of illegitimacy. Educa- ton and cred appear to have little influence. We must seek the real | factors in race and heredity, legis-
 ative restraints upon marriage, social usage, and other like circum- stances" s."-Popular Science Month

To Secure n Child'. Obedience.

From Harper's Baaas.
p One great secret Of good discipline is not
to require too much. Recall how irksome
we were httle. Remember what sorry little
plaques we sometimes were to our elders,
and be patient with these rogues Of ours.
Govern by principles, not laws. Where
possible. keep your hands off, Better too
great freedom than too little. Give a little
loophole for disobedience. When the daugh-
ter goes to spend the afternoon with a
friend, don't mention the precise minute
she may be five minutes late will mar the
visit. Say, rather BE at home in time
to meet papa with hands and face washed
and hair brushed" or, Remember your
music lesson at g." Then, should the little
girl be a few minutes late, II is not dis
obedience. and punishment need nC darken
a sunny afternoon.
Better not will secure obedience with
out punishment, when must not" and
shall not" attached to a threat, will often
fail Unless self-government is taught pa
rental discipline is imperfect.
Let the children feel that they are neces-
sary to mamma and papa as helpers COM
panions and confidants.
If you have growing boy take his arm
when you walk with him. and make much
OF his strength. Cnselfish love cannot be
widely severed from obedience
And finally, you must be interested In all
that interests your children. Never be too
busy to listen to long tales of happenings
at school. Try to be radiant over the good
times coming. Half of a child's happiness
consists in anticipation. A promised treat
next week will keep up a pleasurable ex-
c.tement that will color with rosy hues the
ordinary humdrum life of every day.

One Way TO XIII Crows.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
They have novel method OF killing
crows in Georgia said T. F. Homer at tho
Grand Grains Of corn are pierced. and
through them is inserted a hair from the
tail of a horse. These grains are scattered
In the field where the crows are in the habit
Of coming. When the bird swallows one of
these grains the horses hair prevents IL
passing into the craw and irritates the
mouth The bird rolls over. turns on its
back, scratches to get Il out, but 10 no
purpose Death results either from strangu-
lation or, as is frequently the case, from
the wounds inflicted by the sharp claws
The crows gather around the victim. but,
although they are of an exceedingly sus-
picious nature, they rever attribute the
trouble to the corn"

The Children's Vacation.


If the children have a hobby. let them
cultivate Il In their summer holiday time.
Grown people have hobbies. and children
certainly have an equal right to a similar
indulgence. a hobby standing for a special
child's turn in this or that direction toward
than the school work can in what he will
excel when 1t is an affair of choosing q pro-
fession or business for life.
We ought to regard as sacred the individ-
uality OF every child. and the aim should be
not to round and snip and shape and mold
our children until they conform to a pat
tern We admire and are as nearly as posi-
BILE like other children of their age and sta
ton, but to let them grow in the manner
Gcd meant for them.a manner distinct from
that of their neighbors and sacredly theirs
Often a laundering and self-willed father
steps in and makes havoc of what would
have been beautiful and happy life had he
OILY let his child alone. The musicians who
are set to shopkeeping the farmers forced
into preaching. the doctors sent into offices
and the future clever business men made to
waste their time over violins and pianos are
ir stances easily found of parental ability to
n AXE stupid mistakes and cling to them OBJ
stinately.
The children's vacation should be a long
play spell. not period of half play with a
few lessons or extra studies thrown in
When school begins again the little ones
and the older on .s. too. will do better work
and improve faster if they have had a real
true holiday.
We older people are apt to forget the in
tensity of enjoyment which is compressed
into a child's day. The child is care free
now. He will never be so again. Every
thing he needs is provided for him. He does
rot lie awake over investments, nor worry
over debts. nor tug anXiously at two ends
of a scanty income. determined to make
them meet. None of these things disturb
his peace. He can be radiantly happy, and
he should be.
