GOT the Leonard His spotsq..

Dr. Sanermann, one of the leading German Ornithologists, publishes some interesting particulars concern ing his remarkable experiments in artifcially coloring the feathers of canaries. According to the doctor, canaries, when fed upon cayenne pepper, gradually change the color of their plumage, passing from the characteristic yellow to a beautiful red. Cayenne pepper contains tine torial substance, an initiative princi ple and an oil. When the last two substances are extracted by sleeping in alcohol, the pepper loses its color ing powers and properties. From this fact the doctor draws the con clusion that the oily principle of the pepper Is the necessary vehicle of color.-St. Louis Republic.

Don't Laurh at Your Dog.

An extremely human characteris- tic of our canIne friends is shown in susceptibility to ridicule. Faint traces of this quality are to be found in monkeys, and perhaps even in the more intelligent horses, but nowhere else save in man, and hardly there, except Tn the more sensitive natures, do we find contempt, expressed in laughter of the kind which conveys that emotion, so keenly and painfully appreciated. With those dogs which are endowed with a large human quality, such as our various breeds of hounds, it is possible by laughing ill their faces not only to quell their rage, but to drive them to a distance. They seem Tn a way to be put to shame, and at the same time hope lessly puzzled as to the nature of their predicament. In this connec- ton we may note the very human feature that after you have cowed dog by insistent laughter you can never hope to make friends with him.-Professor N. s. Shaler in Scribner'S.

The Territorial EquaIizers.

The territorial board of equaliza- tion got over considerable ground yesterday.
 Coconino county cattle were raised 75 cents per head. Graham county's stock got a reduction of 25 ceuts each. In Maricopa county there was a raise of 10 per cent.
 No change was made in the coun- ty assessments of horses.
 Sheep in Pinal county were let down 3l cents per head. Gila's woolbearers were marked up 56 cents. In Yavapai county they suffered a fifty-cent reduction. In both Coconino and Apache counties there was a raise of ) cents per head. This happened in spite of the fact that 5000 head, assessed at S1.25, were recently sold under chattel mortgage foreclosure for 30 cents a piece. The board cannot take such practical facts into con- sideration. Their only power con- slsts in equalizing the different valuation returned by the various counties.
 For fear of raising some kick among the mules, asses and goats no change was made in their appraisement. An interposition of burros indiscriminately among the above-named quadrupeds render them, like the Irishman's runt pig, very difficult to estima.e.
 In the matter of acreage lands Cocbise county was raised 90 per cent, bringing her acres up to S2 each. Coconino lands, including government grants which had been returned at a nominal rate only were marked up from B cents to to 4I.7 cents. Maricopa' acreage is still under discussion. It ap pears that Pinal county lands has been returned at Sl0 per acre, while Maricopa was only listed at SIP.
 The total valuation throughout the terrltoIy, excepting land changes show a falling of of S2000,0O0 since the assessment of 1893. Apache and Yuma counties are the only ones that do not return a lower valuation.
 The Prescott X Arizona Central railroad was rssessed at S75O per mile. No change in other roads.

PLAYING A TRICK WITH A BANK BILL
Man Who Planned a Good Joke on His
 Boston Friends.


 A man walked into a hotel near the Grand Central station early one morning, having just left n train. He ordered and ate a hearty break fast, and then instead of giving his waiter the money to pay the check and waiting for the change SIS most men do he tipped the waiter and carried the bill to the cashier. In his hand along with the bill for his breakfast he held a Sl0 note.
 Il wish. he said to the cashier. that you would pin slip of paper to this bank bil so that you cln identify it and then put 1t away. please. until l call for It. m be back tomorrow"
 The cashier looked rather aston ished.
 "Yes, said the other, Il only want to leave 1t here Gs security for my breakfast. I'll come back to get It. !"
 But it's a good bill. said the cash fer. I'll accept it and give you change"
 No, ,"replied the stranger, 'Idon't want you to do that. want merely to leave this bank bill in pawn. l want to pledge it. Give me the price of my breakfast on it, and tomorrow I'll redeem it"
 ''0h, l see. said the cashier, with a smile, you want to keep this bill be- cause it has some peculiar value through association. It's a sort of a souvenir, chr
 Well, not exactly" was the an- swer. You see, l have been over in Boston. I went nearly broke there. When l was coming away, some of my friends insisted on lending me some money. I told them that l should not need it, but they declared could not pull through. One of them forced Sl0 on me"
 "'rll tell you what I'll do, said You take down the number and date of this bIll. I'm coming to Boston again next week. Now to prove to you that don't need this $10 I'll bet you that l bring the same bill back with me. I'll bet a dinner for us all
 ''They took the bet, and that is why want to put this bill in pawn. Pretty good joke on them, chi" he said, with a wink. Il spend 1t. and yet 1 keep 1t. Take good care of it for me-" and he went out, looking like conqueror.
 About five minutes later the cashier took out the bili, pinned a slip of paper to" another one of about the same color and appearance and slipped them back into his cash drawer.
 Il wonder who'll have the joke on him nowG" he said to himself, and then he whistled softly.-New York Tribune.

A BIG REDUCTION.
Civilian Employees of the Government
 Fali Under the Reform

A lengthy letter from the quar- termaster general of the army, was received at Fort Whipple last week, which authorizes the cutting down of wages of civilian employees of the government to a figure very far below the present rate paid in the various departments. In his let ter, the head of the quartermaster department says that commencing on September lst next, a reduction of twenty per cent is ordered in the pay of engineers, twenty-five per cent m the pay of blacksmiths, and a twenty-five per cent in the pay of teamsters.
 The order affects only civilian em- ployees and may be taken as a straw which would indicate that the actions of the government are base solely on the hard times which are prevailing throughout the nation at the present time.
 Hereafter the pay of engineers will be but SS0 per month at Whip pie, blacksmiths but $50 and team sters only S3O. This will probably make up for the difference lost in the blanket" reform move, but it makes labor pay for it, nevertheless.
 The reduction above is one of the heaviest and likewise one of the most unexpected yet to emanate from the secretary of war, and in its scope, includes thousands of skilled mechanics throughout the nation, whose long service in military channels it would seem deserved better consideration than the ami hilating tactics now being pursued against them. No fair minded man objects to any just reform, but when American labor is lowered and de- graded in its service to a servile standpoint, it will not soon be forgotten if it cannot be soon ramadiad

Literary NoIes.

Probably the article that will at tract the most attention in the Sep tember Overland Monthly, both be- cause of the world wide reputation of its writer and on account of the beauty of the accompanying illus trations, is Hjalmar Hjorth Boye- sons remarkable story of Indian life at the agencies-"Zee Wee" It takes up the much discussed ques- ton of the education of the Indian, and proves by example its utter fu tility. As a pure story Zee Wee" is a strong refutation of J. Fenni- more Cooper's and Helen Hunt Jackson's cOlored pictures of the noble red man.
