Cecil Rhodes is a man of iron. He is
over six feet tall, broad-shouldered and
muscular When only sixteen a NAL
ady Of the chest threatened his life, and
In the hope of regaining his health his
father, vicar of little midland town,
sent him out to Natal, where his elder
brother had farm.
The Rhodes boys were on their farm
when the rush to the diamond country
began. They Joined it, taking with
them all their Kaffirs, and, like shrewd
fellows that they were, they secured
claims for all their negroes. In a com
paratively short time the brothers be-
came comparatively wealthy. But this
wasn't enough. Rival diamond miners
were pouring gems into the market in
ruinous competition. The younger
Rhodes proposed trust. It took him
mine years, but he was successful in or
ganizing the diamond combine. Of

MENTAL EFFECTS OF WEATHER.
A Dull. Dark Day shows . Falling on
Generally.

A Dull. Dark Day shows . Failing on
Generally.
A writer in the american Journal
of Psychology" for this year discusses
the subject from the view of common
experience, and presents some facts
that are interesting as well as leading
in their directness. He says: THE
head Of factory employing three
thousand workmen said: we reckon
that disagreeable days yields about
ten per cent less work that delight
full day, and we have thus to count this
as a factor in our profit and loss &C.
count Accidents are more numerous
in factories on bad days. A railroad
man never proposes changes to his SUI
perior II the weather is not propitious.
Fair days make men accessible and
generous, and open to consider now
problems favorably. Some say that
are safest to invest on. Other facts are
mentioned in the psychical and physi-
illogical relation, as Weather often af-
fscts logic, and many mems most syl-
logystic conclusions are varied by heat
and cold. The knee jerk
seems proved to have another factor.
1t is not strange If the eye, e. g., which
wants the normal stimulus in long,
dark weather, causes other changes. !"
Temperament is a fundamental factor
in sensitiveness to atmospheric changes,
that type of it called the mental being
the more intensely affected, while the
bilious type may exhibit by COMPARE
son the more capricious or morbid i'm
pressions, says the chronological Jour
nal. The mental manifestations, as a
rule, however depend upon the organ
isms primarily. If the culture is good,
l. E., the faculties have been trained to
coordinate, harmonious action, and the
elements that contribute to serenity
and self-control have been we'll devel-
oped, weather conditions will but OPP
crate like other parts of the environ
ment, and self-training will show adap-
tation and self-repression. The "ner-
vous," excitable, irascible person is he
who has not learned to control feeling
and expression, and it is he who finds
fault with his surroundings and i'm
putes uncanny conduct to them. That
there are functional states of the body
that predispose one to mental depres-
sion or exhilaration we are ready to
admit. A torpid liver, a chronic ca
tarrh, rheumatic joint, and even an
old corn may render one susceptible to
weather changes, the physical ailment
producing a nerve reaction that is
keenly felt at the spinal centers and
may test the spirit. Mind, however, is
superior to matter, or rather constitu-
ted for superiority. Fairly organized,
carefully developed and trained, it viii
exhibit that superiority by its pose and
calmness in circumstances that are dis
agreeable or painful to the physical
sense. ------s.-.--.

COLOR At THE FAR NORTH.
Intense and Brilliant Color and Skies Q
Surprising LONELINESS.

Intense and Brilliant Color and Skies OF
Surprising LONELINESS.
Frederick Wilbert Stokes, who was .
member Of the first Peary Relief expe-
dition, gives new idea Of the charms
of arctic landscapes in a paper on
"Color at the Far North, which he has
written for the Century. Despite the
desolation, he found, from an artistic
standpoint, land of beauty, with seas
and skies of surprising loneliness. The
intensity and brilliance of color i'm
press the beholder as something super
natural. Our sojourn was from the
middle of July, through August, and
a few days of September "a period
when the polar ATTITUDES are teeming
with animal, insect and plant life. OF
this brief period only am | qualified to
speak; but from the accounts given by
those who have passed through the
long, dreaded night season, the phe-
nomena occurring in the heavens are
most beautiful. The chief popularity
of color at the north, so far as my
short experience tells me, is that there
are no semitones, the general effect be-
ing either very black or just the oppo-
site, intensely brilliant and rich in
color. In fact, summers midnight at
the north has all the brilliance of our
brightest noon, with the added inten-
sity and richness of our most vivid sun
sets, while noon, when the sun is OBJ
scured by threatening masses of storm
clouds, is black. Indeed, it is the true
land of ''impressionism."
/ remember one brilliant morning
when the measureless ether over
head, a hue of exquisite blue, re-
peated itself in a perfect mirror of the
sea. Far away on the otherwise clear
cut horizon line of pure white ice
shimmered its light up through pink
ish yellow stratum of mist, which
bathed in delicate greenish blue an
enormous iceberg that strongly re-
sembled an ancient cathedral. In the
afternoon the sky, threatening black,
overhung a vast contorted sheet of
white and pink, composed of ice-hoe
and colossal bergs looming up above
its mass at intervals, with deep black
patches of water, the whole carrying
the eye to the horizon-a tapering
band of deep rich blue merging into
the sky. In the immediate foreground
of the ice-hoe, near the waters edge,
were shallow pools of delicate blues,
puppies end greens.
Of the wealth of color in flower,
lichen and moss; of its curious riches
as manifested in insect, shell and ami,
NAL life, and of its wonderful thinning
skill as shown on the great inland ice,

She VIII Live Hereafter at San Diego
with Her Son Jesse.
Mrs. Gen. Grants family evidently
propose to make their permanent home
in San Diego, Cal. U. S. Grant, Jr.,
bought a handsome home there last
winter, in which his mother and family
live, save when Mrs Grant takes ex-
cursions eastward and elsewhere. This
mansion Is one of the finest houses In
town. 1t stands on hill overlooking
the city and bay of San Diego.
A second Grant house is nearly COM
pleted. 1t is the property of Jesse
Grant, to whom San Diego Is a delight
full home, summer and winter. Tho
new house occupies q quarter Of =
block on tho western edge Of tho
Observation-Disclosures city park. The
accompanying picture shows the front
Of the house. 1t is colonial in design,
unpretentious, and built for comfort
rather than display. From Its win
dows can be seen the snow-capped Guy
amaca mountains, sixty miles away,
which protect San Diego from the hot
winds Of the desert. Mountain peaks
forty miles away, in Mexico, are visible
from the porch of the new house. Mrs.
Grant will live in this house when In
San Diego.
That city is becoming the home Of
many people whose names are coupled
with the war history of the country.

We are informed that Francisco Baca, of Springerville, uncle of N. Gonzales, candidate for Recorder on the Republi- can ticket, is taking very active part to compass the election of his nephew. Francisco Baca was deputy and acting treasurer, when the safe robbery occur red several years ago. It will be remem- hered that he was indicted, tried, con victed and sent to Yuma for ten years for said robbery. It seems to Us that Baca should keep his hands off of our county affairs, after the experience he has had. Taxpayers of Apache county make note of this

Another CaptuFed.

Two of the robbers, who com milted the train robbery near Mari copa, cave been captured. They all lived in the neighborhood of Phenix. That they are tenderfeet is evinced by their method of rob ping their victims of personal el- fects.
 One of them pawned at Maricopa the day before the robbery watch he had taken from one of the pas senhers on tbe coach that was rob bed near Congress, showing that they were the same fellows who stood up the stage, as we'll as the street car in Phoenix.
 The second man captured is named Blevins, and he lives in the Tonto Basin country He was taken with out any diffeculty.
 Martin, the conductor whose train was robbed, says that the fellows were greenhorns at the business, otherwise they would not have fired on him before telling him to shut ur. Two shots from rifle went close the his body as soon as he had alighted from the tram. One struck at his feet and the other went close to his head. He says that he would willingly have gone back without being shot back.
 It is now believed that the theory .of five robbers is correct. Three of the men are positibIe known. They are under 30 years of age, being respectively p, 26 and 29 years of age.-Prospector.
