As the period of youth advances, as
much care should be exercised as in child
hood. The approach to womanhood is
attended by many troubles, causing years
of suffering, unless nature is assisted.

MANY AFFllCTiONS.

HENRY VII. was miserably penurious.
His parsimOny was matter of ridicule
among his people, but no amount of
scOffing could ever compel him to open
his Golfers and spend his money.
BUCKLE planned work for a half
dozen life-times, and was miserable
because he knew he could not finish it.
When attacked by his fatal illness he
exclaimed: What will become of nv
bOok?"
POPE was made miserable all his life
by the criticism of men whom he
knew to be unworthy to judge his po-
etry. He knew their ignorance and
prejudice, but could not endure their
criticisms.
WILLIAM RUFUS was conspicuous for
his red head. He had no special love
for the color and once had his shock of
hair dyed, but the result was so unsat-
isfactory that he never repeated the
experiment.
REYNOLDS was often annoyed by be-
ing requested to paint the portraits of
ugly women of quality. He said: IF
1 paint them as they are they will hate
me; if | don't paint them as they are i
shall hate myself"

FLAGSTAFF ANDTHE BIG GLASS
Prof. Douglass Reported Pleased
With Results Up North,

Tucson has a strong rival for the
Lowell telescope in Flagstaff. 1t fact
according to gentleman recently talk
ing with Prof. Douglass, Flagstaff is
more a rival for Tucson than Tucson is
for Flagstaff.
The man in question said that Prof.
Douglass informed him that he had
obtained better results in Flagstaff than
anywhere, and that the professor
thought, judging from what he heard
OF Casa Grande (for he had not been
there) that the site would lie between
Flagstaff and Casa Grande. He wanted
to make another trip in southern Ari-
zona before positively locating.
One drawback Flagstaff had, however,
was the extremely cold winters. The
professor asked after the winter climate
and it was admitted that the thermo-
meter there had gone down to 19 degrees
below zero.
At mbstone, the professor said, he
had some good seeing. Some at Tucson
was very good. Prescott had not been
so good. With Flagstaff Ehe was well
Impressed.
However the season was bad when
Mr.. Douglass was here and it is to be
hoped that a good atmosphere will meet
him when he returns. Many things
may happen before the big glass would
be located up north.
Ore statement made by Prof. Douglass
is that were the Lick telescope, the
greatest in the world, in Arizona it
would be fully twice as powerful as il
is on Mount Hamilton.

IRON FOR INDUSTRIAL BUILD
INGS.

The use of iron in the buildings of
warehouses, mills and all kinds of indus
trial establishments is very largely in
creasing, and the time is not very far
distant when it's use will be almost
universal. An iron building costs less
than those constructed of brick and
wood, besides being infinitely safer for
persons employed in them. The differ
ence in insurance Is also an item of i'm.
portagce, not only on the immediate
building, but those on either side of it,
as it acts as barrier to the spread of
confiagrations. Structural iron at
present is extremely low. The Manu-
facturers' Record, of Baltimore, states
that between August 1st, 1893, and
January 1st, 1893, 364 warehouses, mills,
etc., we're destroyed in the south by fire,
so per cent. of which could have been
ayerted if the buildings had been iron.
The great loss by fire in this country
annually, largely exceeding sl0O,0O0,OO0,
requires that some means be adopted
to decrease this annual destruction Of
property.

Last Thursday Tom English, an Ari
zola boy. killed Dig bull snake fOul
and one-half feet long.
The foregoing is from the Oasis, anc
is evid sntly given as a commendatory
notice of tire boys prowess. The go
called bull snakes OF southern and cen
tral Arizona are nothing but the COM
mon pine snake Of Mexico, (Pinus mex
icanus), AID are far less harmful than
the boys who kill them. They live on
spermoohlie', gophers, rats, mice and
any small member of the rcd ntia that
is not v;gilant enough TO escape the N.
They are the friend OF the housekeep-
er and thu agriculturist, and should
claim the protection of the settler rath-
er than his enmi'y. Unless provoked
they ssld0m or never strike, and even
when irritated I'D that extent the bite Is
as harmless as the peck of small chick
en-. The most minute examinatio OF
their mouths will fail to disclose even
the rudiment of fang. With the ex-
ception of the several varieties Of the
genus cr,t4lus, (rattlesnskes), there is
not a poisonous snake in ali Arizona,
and even the terrible boy, with his pre-
adamic instinct for destruction, shoul
be taught to draw the line of life and
death between the friends and enemies
of his race. The crotalUs should be
destroyed, bat all other snakes in Ariz-
ona should he protected as the friends
of man.

AN Inch of rain means a gallon of

two square feet, or fall of about 100

PETROLEUM. by a course of expert

THE wettest place in the world is
Cherryponge, in southwestern Assam,
where the annual average rainfall is
olO inches. In 1861 the rainfall there
reached 9O5 inches.

SIGNIFICANT ELECTIONS.

The reaction against democracy goes
on. New York and New Jers-. towns
are reversing all precedents in electing
republican candidates. Even Jersey
city has gone republican by a hand
some majority The result in New
Jersey IS natural enough in view uf the
attack upon the industries of the state
by the w .lson bill.
10 Albany, n. Y, the ancient demo
cratic municipal regime has been broken
up by q combination of republicans and
independent democrats against the
regular democratic organization. There
is curious feature about this align
ment of parties. Grover Cleveland has
always posed as the leader OF the virtu-
Gus section of the New York democracy,
while David Bennett Hill has been held
I'D as the notorious machine manager,
"by msrit raised to that bad eninence."
In the Albany contest the Cleveland
democrats were the regular machine
party, while the Hill democrats fused
with the republicans in the Honest
Elections" party. This fusion may
have been a purely local matter, but
taking the incident in connection with
Hills speech on the Wilson bill. and
the strength of the reaction in favor of
republicanism which has shown itself
throughout New York, it looks as
though Hill were rRllying the Randall
democrats in opposition to Cleveland's
free-trade movement; that Hill, himself,
is making the fight in the senate, while
his followers are making it at the polls
in their respective districts.

A WAVE of Industrial unrest

WAVE of industrial unrest appears
TO bs passing over the country, as is
evidenced by the numerous strikes re-
ported from different sections of the
union. About forty thousand men are
involved in more than thirty strikes OF
which reports have come to hand. In
some localit es, as, for example, IN the
coke regions in Pennsylvania, the strikes
resulted in serious disturbances, and
even in loss of life. At first it was fear
ed that the civil authorities would be
unable to cope with the trouble, but
there is now no doubt of their ability to
deal with the disorderly elements of that
region. There are prospects of other
strikes in different sections of the coun-
try, so that the whole number out bids
fair to be considerably augmented. The
unrest which has been so noticeable of
late has even its ridiculous features,
OF which q specimen is afforded in the

HUNDRED Cf.mills and fac:uries are

JUDGING by the rumors afioat yester-
day, the Cockleburrs are still straining
their eyes towards the far east, as heart
sick, weary and sore they watch and
wait in vain for the long exps cted mes
sish to give them office. At first they
were particular as to the qualification
of the new executive, but later they
abandoned political niceties and hur-
rahed for the coming man, who comes
not. In the meantime the incumbent
executive, warmly clad in a ''shoo fly
don't bother me" air. continues to direct
the management and mauipulations of
his party in Arizona. Like Congress
man Crisp who put away senstorship
that be might more effectively serve his
party under the vine and fe tree of the
speakership, the governor proposes to
stay right where he is and save the
Cockleburrs from themselves 10 spite of
themselves. The work is a great one,
for an obstreperous Cockleburr must
needs be ridden with both whip and
spur, and the governor can safely be en-
trusted with its management.
