A MONSTER.
The. Largest Potato Ever Produced
 in the County.

Stafford Guardian: The largest sweet potato ever produced in his section is now to be seen at the post office in Stafford. There are two po- tatoes on exhibition, the smaller one being an unusually large "spud," bit it dwindles into insignifcance when placed by the side of the larger one.
 They were both raised on the farm of I. E. D. Zundel, at Thatcher, by MT. Angel. The largest potato weighs thirty-six and one half pounds and measures foll-y-fve inches tin circum- ference, while the smaller one weighs seventeen pounds and measures thirty two inchs in circumference. BH-h po- tatoes are well formed and solid, and it would be well to remark that a seven pound potato grew on the same stem with the 36-pounder
 This story, we admit, sounds rather "fishy" bu: it is nevertheless true, to which hundreds of people can make affidavit. The big potato will be taken to San Francisco by A. A. Whitney, special agent for i.he Osborne Machine company.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-A. dispai ch from London says that large Anglo American banking house has placed in Glasgow, Scotland, the entire issue of first mortgage bonds of the Arizona Water Storage company, amounting to G400,000.
 This is the largest irrigation enter prise in Arizona. It will construct great reservoirs on the Salt river at a gorge in that stream some bWen y miles above the head of that splendid stretch of country known as the Salt River valley in central Arizona, and it is not improbable that other great res ervoirs will be constructed at the head of the valley and also on the Verde river, stream rhat enters the Salt river just at the head of the Salt River valley.

LODGES IMMIGRATION BILL.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Some mis- apprehension exists as to the exact features of the bill introduced by Sena- tor Lodge for restricting immigration. The bill provides for keeping out such immigrants as cannot read and write in some language, while the impression has been obtained that it means immi- grants who can not read and write English are prohibited Senator Lodge says the latter provision would be absurd, as many desirable immi- grants come to This country who are highly educated in their own language and who do not understand English.

BITTER TASTE
It Aids in the Detection of Unwhole-
 some Food.

Daniel Webster in the famous White Erial in Salem, Mass, years ago de clared that murder will out" This maxim has been found applicable to many other things beside murder. Housewives know it to be true when there is alum in baking powder. A bitterness in the bread at once hetrays the alum's presence. II can't conceal it's true nature. The alum bitterness Twill out" and because it will, phys clans, who understand the harmful effect of alum on the system, are at loss to know why people continue 10 buy baking powders containing it. All baking powders sold for twenty-five cents pound and less contain alum. There is surely no economy in using these cheap powders. Fer pure cream of tartar powder, as Dr. Prices was shown to be at the Worlds Fair, goes so much farther and gives 50 much better results, there is no douSt of is being more economical in the long run.

IN MONTHS OF DARKNESS.
Tho Dreary Life of Explorers Who Visit
the Arctic Regions.

A wild goose chase after the north pole
surely seems on the very face, to be a fool S
GRAND. Perhaps it is, for l doubt if any
very startling fact win be added to science,
even If tho north pole is indeed reached.
OF course there is or would be huge
amount of satisfaction and glory to have
been the discoverer Of the pole, but
whether science will be enriched thereby
or simply satisfied with the fact of our
having got there all the same is an open
question.
The life led by explorers in these dreary
regions, especially during the long win
ter's night, is so intensely monotonous as
to scarcely warrant description, and yet
no better idea of the hardships, sufferings
and misery endured for the sake of science
can DO gained, than by il glimpse of the
daily life of the arctic traveller.
CHANGED to be one of tho members of
a recent expedition and was in charge OF
tho winter quarters at the northernmost
portion of Nova Zembla, or Novia Zemlia
as the islands arc called by tho natives.
Imagine a night that settles down like
pail and an interminable darkness that
is only relieved by dull gray twilight for
few hours out of the %; then, added to
tnlS, q thermometer SO lar GOWN DGlOW
zero that the mercury often freezes, mis-
cradle quarters, poor food, and the monot-
onous existence, and you will scarcely
wonder why SO many intrepid investiga-
tors have given up the unequal battle and
laid down to perish in the darkness of
hopeless despair. You will also scarcely
wonder that the most ardent enthusiasm
is likely to be considerably cooled, moral
ly as well as physically, under the circum-
stances.
What matters it if the whole world is
watching the outcome of your investiga-
lions with keenest interest when you are
so far removed from earthly comforts and
earthly aid?
And yet, in spite of all the bitter knowl-
edge gained by the hardest kind of expo
rience, the same explorers will attempt ex-
petition after expedition.
may woefully lack the proper enthusi-
asm, yet l cannot but admit that even
the delightful prospect of discovering doz-
ems of north poles would not tempt INC to
again undergo the hardships of that arctic
night, even the memory of which would
gladly dispel as a fearful drcam.-Home

The Tongue.

The perfectly healthy tongue is clean
moist, lies loosely in the mouth, is round
at the edge and has no prominent paplll1
The tongue may be furred from local
causes or from sympathy with the stom-
ach, intestines or liver.
The dry tongue occurs most frequently
in fever and indicates a nervous prostra-
ton or depression. A white tongue is
diagnostic simply of the feverish condi-
ton, with perhaps disordered stomach.
When 1t is moist and yellowish Drown' IL
shows disordered digestion. Dry and
brown indicates low state of the system
When the tongue is dry and red and
smooth, look out for inflammation, gastric
or intestinal. When the papill1 on the
end of the tongue are raised and very red,
we call it a strawberry tongue, ana that
NAV mean scarlet fever. A sharp, pointed
red tongue will point to brain irritation or
inflammation, and yellow coating indi-
