The M Broken Plate Club.v

In little village in the Department
of tbs Nord, France, there exists
curious brotherhood. 1t is called the
"Broken Plate Club" This is its his
tory A few years ago some merchants
and manufacturers were dining to-
gether, when plate rolled from the
table and, falling into the fireplace,
broke. As it happened, the number
of the fragments exactly corresponded
with that OF the guests. The coinci-
dence was regarded rs good augury,
and then and there society was
formed which imposed upon its mem
bers the bonds OF brotherhood. Each
man as he left carried away with him
his fragment of the plate. According
to the rules no new member was to he
introduced, and 1T each death the bit
of porcelain which was in the posses
sion of the deceased is restored to the
President, who CLUES the fragments to-
gether. The last surviving member
of the club is charged with the duty of
cementing his piece to the rest, and
when the plate has thus been reformed
it is to be buried. London Tele.

MAKING HI PAY.

The prison farm at Yuma which has recently been brought to pub ilic notice is destined to be one of the most important factorsin mak- ing the prison -self-suporting. Nothing has beenfeEmulatedwhic gave promise of quick financial returns until the prison farm was taken hold ofin a practical way.
 Down below the prison walls, almost within stones throw of the prison hill is.a dense growth of will low and brush, which is inpregna- ble. It has been considered a swamp, ofteneverfowed and unfit for any use except to add relief to the eye in contrast with the bare extent of barren land on one side and the Colorado river on the other. After the cession of this useless strip of ground to the ter ritory by the United States, which contains some 2000 acres, a dozen prisoners were taken across to the opposite bank and an attack made on the dense growth. As it was cleared day by day, the most en- couraging results followed. and to- day thirty acres of as fine soil as ever the sun shown on is ready for the piow. It was great under taking, but proved a successful one.
 Forty prisoners are at present at work constructing a levee which will prevent the eneroachments of the treacherous waters of the Gila and Colorado rivers st their high est floods.
 Already a garden has been, com menced, and where the faintest rays of sunshine never before pen. etrated can now be seen rows of al most every kind of vegetable known to the market gardener.

THERE seems to be a general complaint at Palomas as to the manner in which the public school thereis conducted. We have reliable information that the school has only an attendance of one to three scholars daily.
 The school being located 6 miles distant from where most of the parents of the children live, it is impossible for them to attend.
 The school house located on it's present site looks as if it might have been put there for the benefit of the school teacher, instead of the children of the taxpayers.
 If this information is correct, and we have every reason to believe that it is true, the proper authorities should inn mediately investigate the matter, and if found as stated have the school closed.

SOME REASONS.

There are those who say that wo-
 men do not want the privilege of vot
 ing, and for that reason they allege
 she should not be clothed with this
 right. This is very poor argument.
 Do all the drunkards wish to be re-
 formed9 No; but is that & reason
 they should not beq Did the four
 million blacks in the south ask for
 their freedoml No; was that an
 evidence that they should remain in
 slavery9 The fact is, this is the very
 strongest argument that they should
 be made free, as their slavery to man has been of so long duration that they are absolutely blinded to their rights, privileges, duties and responsibilities.
 No man who has the proper ap- preciation of true womanhood, and her duties, will for a moment deny this privilege to those who are his equal in mental qualification, and his superior as a moral and spiritual force.
 AS rule, you can judge woman's mental development, as we'll as her in dividuality of character, when you learn her views on the subject of her political rights. You can also judge of a mans secret opinion of woman, when you learn his opinion on this subject. It is generally an indication that a man has high opinion of his wife and daughters if he comedies these rights to them; fine denies them, nine times in ten he Is a tyrant at home, or his wife vixen O. 8 ter magant, and. he is too>selish to sur render, his tyranny, or to give her more. privileges, as she is liable to give him new strains of vixen music; but mark this fact as an indication of mans opinions of women, and especial ly as to her sphere those who are without family ties and oppose her rights on the ground that she will be out of her sphere, seldom entertain that high and noble opinion woman hood Is entitled to, but their opinion is often founded, or takes it's inspira- tion from the baser nature of man, it is difficult for some of these specimens of human beings to separate woman's mission on earth from that of contri- outing to mans baser passions. Such men will always oppose the elevation of women in any way, because it developes her individuality of charac- ter, gives her more force and power of and compels respect | and appreciation of man for true and | good women. In short it places wo- men on equality with good men and tlevates them above those lacking in true manhood, morals or pure charac- Star.

 ter and sedin3entary deposits from
 the muddy stream which flows by | it.
 The total amount paid out year ly for vegetables at the prison will approximate eight thousand dol lars, and after April next this will be saved to the territory. So inn pressed was Professor Boggs with the value of this and that he has recommended the removal of the government experimental station into this track of land. Every lit tie irrigation is necessary, and this will be furnished from 8 well to be put down in the center of the tract at @ nominal cost. At present a pump raises the water which is conveyed to the ground.
 The possibilities of this new ad- dition to the resources of the pris- on ean not be over estimated. It means at last that the prison, which has been a drain on the territory, has at last been ushered into an era where eventually it can be entirely self-supporting from source from which nothing had been expected.-Prospector.
