Opportunity is bald behind, and
must be grasped by the forelock. Life
is full of tragic might-have-beens. No
regret, no remorse, no self-accusation,
no clear recognition that I was a fool,
will avail one jot. The time for
ploughing is past; you cannot stick
the share into the ground when you
should be welding the sickle. "Too
late" is the saddest of human words
And, as the stages of our lives roll on,
unless each is filed, as it passes, with
the discharge of the duties and appro-
priation of the benefits which it brings,
then, to all eternity that moment will
never return, and the sluggard' may
beg in harvest that he may have the
chance to plough once more, and have
none. The student who has spent the
term in indolenc, perhaps dissipation,
has no time to get up his subject when
he is in the examination room, with
the paper before him. And life and
nature and Odds law are stern task
masters, and demand that the duty
shall be done in its season or left un-
done Observation-Disclosures Maclaren,

When u man abuses his church for
allowing hypocrities to remain in it,
he does not mean that he wants them
turned out. He has probably declared
that he will do nothing so long as they
are kept in, and if they are turned out,
he will have to go to work to get up
another excuse for not working.

cellent cough candy is made of slip
perry elm, fiaxseed, and sugar. Soak
a gill of whole flaxeed in half pint
of boiling water. In another dish put
q cup of broken bits of slippery elm,
and cover this also with boiling water.
Let these stand for two hours. Then
strain them both through a muslin
cloth into q saucepan containing
pound and half of granulated sugar.
Extract all the liquor you can, stir the
sugar until it is melted, and then boil
it until it turns to candy. Pour it out
at once when it reaches this point on to
creased papers. This is the old-fash-
toned rule. The candy is more pala-
table if the juice of two lemons Is
added to it after it has cooked for ten
minutes.
The solubility of manure is the most
important point connected with 1t:
1t can never become soluble until 1t
has decomposed, and when large
mass of coarse, bulky material is
spread on the land the farmer will
have 10 wait until it becomes fit for
plant food before his crops derive any
benefit from such. Commercial fer
tilizers are sold as much upon their
guarantee of solubility as upon the
plant food contained.
A correspondent of Gleanings in
Bee Culture does not believe that
robbing bees permanently retain this
bad habit. The saying "once q rob-
Der always robber" has no truth in
| it If honey flowers become plentiful
the robber bees will 20 to work again.
But it must be added that when rob-
bers once get the notion of attacking a
weak hive it had better be destroyed,
as it is nearly impossible to keep them
from it thereafter.
No one kind of food is perfect.
Even when horses have an abundance
of timothy hay they will also accept
straw and cornstaiks as a change OF
diet, as well as keep in better condl-
ton from being allowed greater
variety.
Very Nice Pancakes THE cold
oat meal left from breakfast mixed
with an equal measurement of -four
that is, one cup of flour to one OF
cooked oatmeal-with one beaten egg
halt cup of milk, and spoonful OF
baking powder, will IL AXE very nice
pancakes.
Do not wet the hands or teats in
milking. Milk dry. 1t is neater and
cleaner, and, in cold weather, much
better for the cow. 1t is important
that the milkman milk fast without
any interruption till the close.
There is no reason why every farmer
should not keep bees. Honey costs
nothing, and is q valuable product,
considering the price it usually brings,
in comparison with the small expense
incurred in its production.
During the very warm days the
teams should be used early in the
morning, so as to allow at least two
hours for rest at noon. More work
will be secured by so doing than by
shortening the noon rest.
In cake making always cream the
butter and sugar together, always slft
the -four, always the soda in molasses
or water, and beat the eggs nice and
stiff.
A strawberry grower says that the
first plant that forms upon q straw
berry runner is the best, and should
be selected for transplanting.
Spraying adds greatly to the health
of the grape vines and consequently
to the size and beauty of the fruit.

certainly is good man to have on

Disgusting the fact that unless the

are going to get away with the of

past wherein q Democratic nomina-

The people have confidence IN men

THE importance of fruit raisin

THE importance Of fruit raising
- factor in the prosperity of a
community is steadily being made
manifest to the people of the Salt
River valley. We are just now be-.
ginning fairly to appre ,iate the ad
vantages which Southern ARIZONA
posses over any other portion of the
United States in the matter of rails
nag fruits In addition to the ex-
cellence Of our fruit products and
the'r early appearance in the mar
kets, the cheapness of our fine fruit
hnds at the present time should be
IN inducement to those who wish
10 secure homes where the most
favorable conditions for success
abounds. The time is not far dis
tant whom cheap land will be a
thing OF the past. Now is tho time
for those who seek homo where
nature has bestowed every advan-
tage in lavish profusion, to take
hold, buy and improve.

WHAT with strikes and riots and
Hoods and wrecks and disasters
the times seem sadly out of joint
and We are led to wonder where we
ard ct. So far az the riots and
strikes arc concerned We are in
clinsd to accredit them to long
line of vicious legislation whose
tendency has been to make the rich
richer and the poor poorer. The
'rontsaetion Of the circulating me-
diam Of the country by the de-
mopetization Of silver is one Of the
potent factors in bringing about the
present distressed condition of busi-
ness. The act Of taking away from

and important part Of the circula-

fieve at least that the legislation Of
the country is devoted exclusively
to the further agrandize nent of the
wealthy classes. With this idea
firmly engr"fted upon the usiuds of
the people we can expert no other
condition than that which we view
today, discon,ent, commonweal
armies, strikes and riots and un-
iversal stagnation. AS to the dis

TERRITORIAL UNIVERSITY.

A radical change has been made
in the management of the terri
torial university which will result
in largely increasing its efficiency
and in cutting off needless expense
to the amount Of $4,000 per an
nun. 81
When Mr.. Bruce become Terri
,orial Secretary he also. became ex-
ofiicio chairman of the Board of
Regents of the University. AS
soon af he became acquainted with
the manner in which that institu-
ion was being conducted he saw
that material changes were de-
mauded to make it success, and
determined that when the proper
time came those changes should be
made. In this he was seconded by
Professor F. J. Netherton, Superin-
tendent of Public instruction.
A couple of weeks ago at the
meeting of the Board of Regents q
resolution was passed appointing q
nent of the institution. The COM
mittee found that thousands of dol
lars were being expended yearly on
experimental farms without any
adequate returns, the farm near
Phoenix being the only one that
showed any marked results. The
University was divided among it
self in its three heads with the re-
sult that its usefulness was much
impaired.
When the report Of the commit
tee was received resolution was
presented for the ap continent Of a
committee of reputable and able
citizens to make farther investi-
CATION and advise remedies, but it
was decided that that work should
be done by the Regents with the
result that the expenses have been
reduced simply in salaries and on
the experimental farms of some
$4,000.
Instead Of having three heads to
the University, Professor Comstock
was made President and given auto
cratic powers over the school,
though all his acts are subject to
approval by the Regents. At his
own request his salary was reduced
from $500 to $4,000. Professor
Gully, who has had charge of the
experimental farms and who re-
ceived salary of $500, was re
lieved, as were also Professor COL
of the chemistry depart
ment, and Prot. Hebberly. The
Chancellor who has been receiving
a salary of $500 will hereafter oc-
cupy that position without any com
pensation and the secretary will
perform his labors for $3.50 instead
of $500 as has been heretofore.
Various other reforms have been
made which it is thought will tend
to more efficient work in all de-
partments Of that institution and
save to the Territory a vast amount
of money yearly.

LETTER-CARRIERS.

Tfe National. Association Of Latter
Carriers has submitted a bill TO Congress
designed 20 prevent removals from place
without cause. The bill is drafted also
with @ view TO the prevention OF fimsy
charges of misconduct by postmaslers who
fancy that all the positions in their ser
vice should be filed with men of the same
political views as themselves. 1t is rather
late to show the necessity OF q civil SER
vice reform which shall remove from
party control classes Of public servan Is
whose duties in their performance are In
no way affected by their party relations.
The country is too large. the public SER
wants too numerous and the work 90 diff
cult to permit the old practice of making a
clean sweep at each change in the Presi-
dental Office. 1t is safe to say that
neither the eusiom-house. the internal

larger number of clerks whose party
affiliations are immaterial.

lish a dangerous precedent Yet the

careless performance of the duties devolv-
Ing upon them. Business men would fail

regard the: faithful letter-carrier as a
friend. He cotrects errors in superscrip-
ton, and. direction. He knows every
family on his beat, and does not send
letter to the dead letter Office because of
the lack of an initial in the name. 1t is
mere matter: of justice to lift these hard
working men above the vicissitudes of poll
tics. By.commonc consent they have become
so in measure, but the bill is to restrain
the political postmasters who imagine
that their standing in their party depends
upon turning the other party men out and
putting his own party men in.

A NATIONAL LOAN.

An Eastern writer advocates popular
loan in time of profound peace, for the
reason mainly that other countries re-
sorted to that method of raising money
when needed TO carry ON wars. France
raised money by a popular loan during
the Crimean war, and again when the
Germans had possession of Paris. The
sagacfty of Napoleon Ill and OF Thfers:
was justified by the result. In both cases
the people offered more money TRAN the
Government wanted. Now if the United
States was threatened with war, and
brokers were making hard terms for
money. it might be well for Secretary. Car
Isle to- take a lesson in. finance from
France. But the United States car: easily
secure: all the money it needs from the
ordinary source. There has been nc pop
uIar expression OF desire to put the bur
den of government Oh the shoulders of the
next generation. We are not fretting over
the fact that our expenditures reach $780,
C0G,000 year. All we ask is that the
money be drawn from the people by
reasonable methods and be wisely. ex-
pended. Loans popular or otherwise bear
interest which the people have 20 pay.
.Ihey are source of revenue properly
reserved for great emergencies, when the
ordinary: revenue is insufficient. But an
administration which incurs debt In time
of peace while the earth continues to re-
ward toll with abundant haryests will
assuredly be condemned.
