astrological names.

ooSAOAOS ACcA hd1i1CS
 In China cOsmica7 names are given to the numbers on the dice. Six is the throw of heaven, ace is the throw of earth, four is the throw of man, while one and three are chosen to represent the harmony that unites heaven. earth and man. The throw of double five is called the plum flower" five and six is the tigers head" four and six is ''red-head ten," one and six is ''lOng- legged seven," and one and five is red mallet six" These terms remind one of those given by negroes to various throws at the game of ''craps-" On Chinese dice the ''one" and four are always red, while the dots on the other faces are black. Mir. Culin cannot as- sign any reason for this with certainty. There is legend to the effect that on one occasion an emperor of the Ming dynasty was almost defeated in a game by his queen. The only possibility for him to win was that the dice should turn up ''fours-" They did so, and he was so gratifed that from that time forth the Hours" on all dice were marked in red.
 Take an ordinary domino of bone or wood, enlarge it, make it of paper, and it becomes playing card. Mir. Culin's study of the subject has led him to the conclusion that this is the way in which the playing card was originally evolved. The evolution began with the knuckle bone, which became a cubical die; the latter was transformed into domino, and the domino, in it's turn, was metamOrphOsed into a card A domino with two Hives" on it repre- sents the ''tenspot'' of the pack. The origin of king" queen" and jack is unknown Possibly a little light may be thrown upon the mystery by the fact that the four sides of the knuckle bone are called in Arabic the shah ''vizier," peasant" and slave" The same names are given to the numbers on the cubical die, the six being the shah" One of the games played with dominOes in China is apparently the prototype of whist Nobody knows when dominoes and cards were introduced into Europe. We, in America, get all our games from Europe; we invent no games Poker is an old English game modified Mir. Culin says that there are no new games; those brought out from year to year are merely notifications of old ones. Games are originated in primi- itive stages of social development.
 One would naturally suppose that the spinning die, called the ''teetotem," must be derived from the same orig inal source as the cubical die. Appar- ently such is not the case. Mir. Culin has traced the teetotem to Corea, where it seems to have had it's begin ming

 THE proposition to broaden Congress street by the elimination of the row of buildings east of court street and be- tween Maiden line and Congress street is again under discussion and eventually, although not at present, the obnoxious block will be removed. The portion of expense the city must bear in the trsns- action will be an important question for the authorities to consider. Some say more and others less. To the latter we shall always incline for the reason that while the oity would have an improved appearance in that parti- cular portion, the people to be directly interested are the property owners on either ride of the street, and of course they will be obliged to assume the lions share of the expense. We do not, how ever, think that anything can be done with the business at present as money is not overplentiful and business is not in such condition as to warrant any un- necessary expense in the way of exten- sive public improvements.

Several London newspapers have been entertaining their readers by a lively controversy over the respective size and beauty of the feet of English and American women Some editors, in the face of overwhelming evidence, confess that English feet are out of running in such controversy, and console themselves by asserting that the feet of Engishmen are far more shapely and aristoeratie than those of their American brother. There have been many indignant protests against even this admission. The shoe dealers, when assured that they may speak in- cog, regretfully admit that they are unable to ft the trim American foot with any shoe ready made for the fat and flat feet of Engiish women.

A JOLLY EVENING. How Fifty Men Enjoyed Them selves Thanksgiving Night.
Songs for the Occasion-A Banquet by the Blue Rock Club where Purc
 Fun Prevailed.

With laughter, jest and music, goo eating and cheering drinks that fel short of inebriation, came off the great est affair in banquets ID the history O Tucson.
 It was ''stag party" Jolly fellow they were, all of them, with good sing CTS, impromptu speeches, and dancing including set of lsncers where foo men were in special demand and th, ''ladies" identified by hsndkerchiefs or one arm.
 This festive occasion was on Thanks giving night at the Masonic hall. II was given by the Blue Rock Gun club Alex Rossi was caterer for the occasion, and drew on his head hundreds of com pliments for the spread. It purported to be cold collation., but it came near CT to being feast. It would made a man hungry just to look at the tables They were completely covered with the finest cold eatables, Thanksgiving tur- key and cranberry sauce being promi- nent feature.
 Hon. $. M. Franklin made speech of welcome to the guests and members on behalf of the gun club. Every one present fell to on the good things to eat except Tom Brown. It was not Browns fault that he did not fell in, too. Nor was there any lack of protests on his part. Later in the evening, after a iong st from salad to wine and Walnuts by the party, "Tom" was made happy, too
 The apnatitas disanuearad with the turkey, and then came a filling of glass es and speeches and toasts. White wine and claret prevailed, and with them an unlocking of tongues and good fellow ship. Almost every one present was called ou, and some happy remarks were made.
 The fun was only begun, however, with the adjournment from the banquet. With a cigar ID every mouth they ad- iourned to the big hall. Here Dave Hughes and Lawrence Lowell were levied on for music by guitar and man. dolin. A free-for- all waltz and then several more followed.
 Jock Blinkcorn proved himself won- der at improvising songs. He took the tune of "They're After Me-" and gave twenty-five original verses. The subject of the day of this modern minstrel was the Blue Rock Gun club and what the various competitors were expected to do in the match against the Phoenix club. Many of those present got 8 verse apiece.
 Wit and iollity prevailed till o'clock. All went away saying they never had a better evening.

THERE is, in our opinion, but little use to talk of city improvements on aD extended scale by special tax on the necessities of life. Such tax, however small, would be unpopular and imprac- ticsble, to say the least. When Arizona becomes state provisions can then be made by which bonds can be issued and extensive improvements made, but in the meantime board side walks may be considered pretty good.
