How to Take a Lung Bath.

Did you ever hold watch and see for
how many seconds you could keep a
stream OF air flowing into your lungs2 If
not, make the test, and YOU will find that,
no matter how small the stream. you can
not keep it constantly flowing in for more
than fifteen, twenty, or possibly thirty
seconds; but if you will try two or three
times each day YOU can double the time
within two weeks. The boy or girl who
will try this and keep it up regularly for
a year will not he likely to die OF consump-
ton and should they ever become public
speakers or singers they will be very
thankful that they commenced when young
TO take "lung baths Harpers Young
People, in speaking about breathing,
says; Did you ever think of taking a
lung bath? Ones lungs need cleansing
as surely as do the hands and face This
is especially true after one has been in a
crowded hall or church. breathing in so
many impurities How can one take a
lung BATH BY simply drawing deep
breath and then expellng the air from
the lungs. You will feel wonderfully re-
freshed thereby and the general health
will be improved.

The potato beetle and larya have made
their appearance in England. The Lon
don Agricultural Gazette prints a COM
plant OF farmers that they cannot effect
lively spray with poisons to destroy the
slugs, because the spraying only reaches
the upper surface of the leaf. while the
slug is a great part of the time under the
leaf out OF reach OF any application. This
may be the fact in English climate, where
on many summer days the under side of
the leaf is often the dryest and most com
Portable place the bug can find. In our
American climate the bug finds plenty OF
sunshine and when feeding is always in it,
If the larva retires to the underside of the
leaf at night it does not then need to eat
anything before morning sunshine tempts
him to the surface again. In England,
being so much on the under side of the
leaf. necessity may force the larVa to the
habit of eating there. But in a climate
thus damp and cool the potato bug will
not rapidly increase if his insect enemies
are encouraged, or at least not destroyed
by poisons.

Rousing Faculties in Dull Child
rcn.

The power OF occupation to rouse iacul
ties that are dorment in children has met
with such marked success in industrial
schools that in instances where it is i'm
possible to stimulate children who have
not the advantages of these schools
parents would do well to familiarize them
selves with their methods. A well known
educator of boys says of some of his pu-
pills whose interest could not be aroused
in the common schools: "Some were
naturally so weak that after weeks OF con-
scientious work on the part of the teacher,
they were not able to repeat from memo
ry four stanZa verse Of a poem for child
rem Others could not apply themselves
long enough to learn anything. Some of
these boys we're placed in the clay-model-
irg and wood carving shop. The boys
who had been regarded as almost idiots
soon began to show signs of Improvement
When boy begins to work with clay he
seems to feel himself in the unity Of things
and he becomes happy accordingly, and
as he sees the formless clay take shape
beneath his touch a sense of power is
born within him which rouses and quick
ems him. A boy who had been cruel,
cunning ana VICIOUS, presenting no PoiHl
for reaching his nature, one day in the
woodworking shop asked the teacher to
look at the moulding board he had made.
Another boy. a persistent offender inshop
and school, expressed a desire, when de
corating was introduced, to do work of
that kind. The request was granted and
his first effort showed his ability and a
new manhoo d asserted itself within him. :"

Hints to HOusekcepers.

Repeated applications of alcohol will
remove grass stains from any white mate
rial.
Soap bark is about the best thing that
you can find for wash for the hair. and
thirty grains Of quinine to a pint of bay
rum the best and cheapest tonic.
A nail or tooth brush should never be
left in the holder with the bristles upper
most. 1t stands to reason that water will
soak into them in time with such treat
ment.
For weak person when bathing,
especially in summer. a gill of ammonia
in small tub of water, or some rock salt,
is wonderful invigorator, almost as good
as a sea bath.

a correspondent of the Scientific
American says; Before being allowed to
get dirty or greasy tie all the broken
pieces in the places nicely with any kind
of string that suits, then put in an iron
or tin dish that can be put on the fire,
pour in as much milk as will cover the
fractures well, put on the fire and boil, for
say ten minutes, and the whole operation
is complete. Don't undo the wrapping
until the dish is completely cold, and Il
yours hold as ours do you will call it a
success.

VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. 1.-THE steamer
Empress of Japan arrived this morning
from the Orient, having left Yokohoma
August 5. War was formally declared on
August 3. the proclamation being re-
ceived with ever token of rejoicing
throughout Japan. Offers of men and
means were coming from ell corners of
the empire.
Owing to the enactment OF new press
regulations on August l, Japanese pa
pers give only meagre details, strongly
colored for Japanese readers of war
happenings, thenew laws decreeing that
editions publishing anything regarding
the war without its first being formally
corrected and approved by government
officers appointed for that purpose
are liable to Imprisonment at
labor for a term of three months,
and fine as well.
Details OF the engagement which
resulted in the sinking of the
British ship, Kow Sing, furnished
by the japanese, substantiates the
contention that the owners of the
vessel should look to China for repara-
ton asserting that the catastrophe was
brought about solely by reason of the
Chinese troops aboard refusing to
allow Capt. Galworthy to carry out the
instructions given him by the japanese,
he and his officers being forced to jump
into the sea to escape being shot by
the Chinese who were his passengers.
Japan insists that the Kow Sing was
sunk on account of the piratical con-
duct of Chinese troops on board. An
engagement occurred at Seikwan on
July s. The Chinese were driven back
with heavy loss and the japanese
troops continued toward Asan.

fact that Director Goodwin, OF the A.
R. o., favored the proposition to ma
tionalize all large corporations. Pro-
fessor Dennis OF the Chicago University
favored a permanent notional board Of
arbitrators to prevent strikes.
Strikers testified that they have
hunted for work throughout the country
after the strike and find they had been
blacklisted. R. F. Mills, an engineer
of Garrett, Ind, testified that on &C
count of being member of the A. R.
U. the Illinois Steel company refused to

fed that he was refused employment
because he had served On labor COM
mittee. Chas. Naylor. fireman and
engineer of the Pennsylvania lines, was
discharged because of his being an A.

a permanent board of arbitration. He
thought a new board should be ap-
pointed for each case.

EOUALIZING THE PRESSURE.
Result of Yesterdays Work in the
Board.


The territorial board of equalization
made great inroad yesterday into the
business which lay before it. Ali
varieties Of property were disposed of
except land and the valuation OF this
was determined except as to the return
of Maricopa county.
Members of the board complain of the
inefficient system of making assess
ments and recommend changes in the
method among which is the segregation
of lands.
The valuation in Cochise county was
increased fifty per cent. In Coconino,
whose return included grant lands, the
value per acre was raised to Al 7-10.
In all other counties than Maricopa
no changes were made. An agreement
as to the valuation in this county is
likely to be arrived at with difficulty.
The valuation OF cattle per head was
changed as follows: In Coconino, in
creased rs; in Graham, reduced .25 !;
in Maricopa, increased ten per cent.
The following changes were made in
sheep valuations: Yavapai, reduced
so; Coconlno, increased 05; Apache.
increased .05; Pinal, reduced 81; Gila,
increased 56. No change was deemed
necessary in the valuation of horses, and
all other varieties of live stock cut such
small figure that they were passed
over.
An unexpected result of the board's
work will be showing of fall
ling off in valuations of all kinds OF
property of nearly $2,000,0 900 as COM
pared with last year.

THE INQUEST ENDED.
The Manner of Black Jacks Death
Undetermined.

OnQGI0T0nlnGCs
The coroner's jury yesterday in the in
vestigation of the death of Black Jack
decided that she came to her death in
an unknown manner. The finding was
unsatisfactory, but the only one that
could be obtained under the circum-
stance. While there is little doubt in
the minds of the members of the jury
that she was murdered, it was impossi-
BILE to establish the fact. Circumstances
also point to the guilt of the Indian,
Pedro, if murder was committed. Sew
eral witnesses were examined yester-
day, among whom was Pedro, whose
story had not changed since the day be-
fore.
Geo. D. Beckers, who lives near the
place where the body was found, testi-
fed that Pedro passed his house on
Sunday evening going toward the reser-
vation. There was an Indian woman
with him but she was not Black Jack.
Pedro stopped to talk and the woman
went on and had time to go half mile
before Pedro started to overtake her.
BILE distance beyond where the body
was found.
w. D. Black who lives this side OF
Becker's house saw a woman in the vi
cinity who he is sure was Black Jack.
Woh Lee, the Chinaman, testified
that he saw Pedro that evening as the
Indian testified but he denied the rest
of his story.
The other evidence was unimportant.
Pas-Quin, brother of the dead woman,
was on the stand but only testified that
he had not seen her since the Saturday
before her death and knew of no motive
anyone could have for killing her.
