shoes OF the Olden Time.

During the reign of William Rufus,
Henry /. and Stephen all sorts of ex-
travagant shoes were worn. The toes
were sometimes long and pointed and
sometimes made a curl like a rams
horn. Occasionally they were twisted
in different directions, as though the
feet were deformed. In 1902 English
ladies and gentlemen wore the points
of their shoes yard long and fastened
TO the garter with golden chains orna-
mented with bells The custom was
prohibited under pain of being cursed
by the clergy, but, as il showed no
signs of abating, "A fine of twenty shil-
lings was assessed for every public APP

CURIOUS TONGUES.
Those OF the Woodpecker. the Parrot and
the IfummIng Bird

Some fresh information about the
tongues of birds has recently been gath
cred by "a German naturalist. MANY
people suppose that woodpeckers use
their sharp-pointed tongues as darts
with which 20 transfx their prey. II
Is true that the wOodpecker. like the
humming- bird can dart out its tongue
with astonishing rapidly, and that its
mouth is furnished with an elaborate
mechanism for this purpose; yet invcs-
tigation shows that the object of this
swift motion is only TO catch the prey.
not 10 pierce it. For the purpose Of
holding the captured victim. the wood
pecker's tongue is furnished with a
sticky secretion.
Considering its powers of initiating
speech. 1t is not surprising TO learn that
the parrots tongue resembles that Of
man more closely than any other birds
tongue does.
1t is not because the parrot is more
intelligent than many other birds, but
because its tongue is better suitedyfor
articulation than theirs. that it is able
to amuse us with its mimicry.
The humming- birds tongue Is in
some respects the most remarkable of
all. 1t is double nearly from end to
end, so that the little bird is able TO
grasp its insect prey with its tongue,
very much as if its mouth were fur
nished with pair of fingers.

The pusilanimity of the present al.
ministration is well shown by ITS action
in the Waller case. The recent dIsclo-
sures, and the comments of the press
thereon, are singing even the tough
bull hide of the president. Waller was
tried by conrt martial of the French
military at Madagascar and condemned
to twenty years imprisonment without
any show of defense whatever. and the
sentence written out and signed before
the trial. 1t is an outrage on Ameri-
can citizenship and demands peremp-
tory reparation. The government has
done nothing but to request twice to
see the records of the trial. which re-
quests have been refused. 1t is time
that demand be made of the French
authorities for the instant release of
Waller.

Arizona Republicans to be Represent. ed by Six Delegates in the Next
 National Convention

National Convention. | Hon George Christ under date of June
 22d writes from Cleveland, Ohio as 1 follows:
 l think have done pretty good work
 Tor the republicans or ArIzona today. Yesterday Gen. Sampson and myself called on Hon. Thomas A. Carter the
 chairman of the Republican National
 com mlttee and asked hlm to ae sist us in
 ugrlng the national committee to allow
 Arizona six delegates to the next con-
 vention, instead of two. This he promises to do. Today l called on him again and found three other members of the con- mlttee with him, and all assured me thet they would support the proposition, and thought 1t would be granted us. 1 have no doubt our worthy member from Arizona, Mir. Wm. M. Griffith, will be able to get the proposition through, when the committee has its meeting next winter.
 The league convention just closed was a great success. The silver sentiment was strong enough to prevent any resolu- tlons or platform being enunciated. The feeling in favor of silver is growing very rapidly, and I believe by the time the national convention meets in 1896, 1 the republican party will be ready to | settle the question ID favor of the white metal.
 Ar zon8 is being very much inquired | about among northern and eastern people. They hardly like to believe N hat we tell them about our great re- sources in fruit, agrlculture, grazing, md mining. l think we can look for many strangers visiting our territory in be next two years.

A SAD ACCIDENT.
A Young Tramp Horribly Mangled.

A Young Tramp Horribly Maneled.
 A young man aged about l9 named Charles Graham was horribly mangled last Tuesday morning while attempting to board freight train at Adonde, 34 miles east of Yuma. He had been around Yuma several days previously trying to get out on passenger train out did not succeed. He finally reached Adoude Monday and was there put off. The next morning he tired to swing on to s brake beam of q passing freight which had stopped for water. He was evidently not used to the business, a. he fell under the wheels. The train WAS stopped and the unfortunate man found to be badly injured about the head and the left hand was cut of. He was placed on west bound train to be sent to Yu- ma for medical treatment but died be- fore reaching there.
 Justice Duke held an inquest snd death was rOund to be caused by three broken ribs which were driven into the lungs.
 r.ne mother of the boy was found to be living Gt Ontario, Cal, and was nOti- fled. Word cane back to nave the body properly cared for and sent to that place which WAS done yesterday.
 Young Graham's father died about a month ago and his mother is in good cir. cumstances. Fifteen dollars in money was found on him and there seems tC be no reason for his trying to "beat" his way over the country.

 ST. JOSEPH, Mo. June 22-My last
 bulletin gave forecasts of the storm wave
 to cross the continent from 25thto 29th
 and the next will reach the Pacific coast
 about 29th, cross the west of Rockies
 country by close of 3Oth, the great cen
 tral valleys July l to 3 and the eastern
 states about 4th.
 Average rains may be expected
 through the central portions of the United States leaving deficiency ID the extreme north and south. Warm wave will cross the west of Rockies country about June 29th great central valleys July 1st and eastern etstes July Sd. Cool wave will cross the west of Rockies country about 2d, great central alleys July 4th and eastern states about 6'h.
 The cool wave will insugurate an ex- tended cool period ard what IS herein designated as the cool half of the month.
 Each month is usually divided into about two weeks of cool and two weeks of warm weather and the difference in the average temperature of these two periods IS almost universally of radical ty pc. It is of great importance to know when these warm and cool periods will occur.
 Each of these twelve to fifteen days | warm periods has two storm waves, two l warn waves and two cool waves and | each Of the twelve to fifteen days cool | period has the same.
 Most rain falls during the cool periods | and the evaporation and drouth symp- l toms arc experienced during the warm periods.
 1 challenge the world in making louR -ange forecasts of these warm and cool periods and whoever tests the accuracy 'f these bulletins Tn forecastiug these periods will find the forecasts, in that espect at least, wonderfully correct.
 The rain belt for July appears to ex- eCd from Denver to Philadelphia lesv- ng large areas of Drouth Tn the direc- ion of Charleston and Key West aud rom Chicago and Davenport toward the northwest.
 General forecasts for July and tenn 'erature forecasts for the coming writer Vlll be published in my next bulletin. bt lieve my calculations for the coming 7inter to be reliable and they are of a 1ost important character. It will be a winter as to temperature.
