Angels Could Never Fly with the Wings
 Where Artists Place Them.

Angels Could Never Fly with the Wings
 Where Artists Place Them.
 Did you ever notice flying angel? do not mean the animated article, but the winged and rObed creatures you see occasionally in frescos and friezes.
 If so. you have doubtless marked the horizontal and unearthly position of the body.
 The hands are gracefully disposed along the sides. just as if nying were To particular effort, and the feet are trailed straight behind. though no man has ever found out just what holds them there
 It has been so since the time of Michael Angelo and Raphael, says the New York World. Those old masters were probably among the first offenders against physical possibilities. They frescOed the wall and ceilings of an cieHt eathedrals with ethereal beings with enormous wings spyoutilg from their shoulder blades and their feet trailing straight out behind.
 Since then every artistic Tom. Dick and Harry in the wOrld has followed the impossible lines laid down by the old painters. and although science has Eean developed and human ideas have changed gro.s;y since Athens " as in it's prime. the absurd form of thc ideal an gel has not changed particle.
 Anybody can see at a glance at the pictures that this position in light is an imccssibility. Possibly g sgced of a mlIc a second. and yvith thc v c~s beat ing 1t the rate of one hundred thou sand times a minute, the position might be maintained
 The point of support is the shoulder blades. The center of gravity is no- where, apparently.
 IL may be possible that painters de- sire to represent an angel dOTg some thing that human being would find impossible to do. At any rate, they have done so.
 With the wings at the shoulder blades the center of gravity would ex- tend directly downward from the points of support. It is not very graceful, but it is true to science and the law of gray itation. It will be long time. howev- CT, before painters consent to paint angels in other than impossible posi- tiOns.
 Everybody remembers how reluctant artists were to accept the positions of running horses developed by the cam era. They were so absurd that it was with difficulty that the negatives could be believed.
 In order to carry the body in a hori- zOItai position the wings of an angel should be placed Tn the small Of the back and the vertc5r,e stifscned with & board. Then. perhaps. there would be some sort of an agreement between art ar1 nhvsical possibility.

TAXATION OF CHURCH PROP
 ERTY,

We publish elsewhere the copy of @ | petition which has been quite numer-
 ously signed in thIs city praying the legislature to pass law imposing tax
 on church property. The suggestion we think, Is an excellent one and 1t is probable that something will be done in ! that direction. The question of the
 taxation of church property has been
 before the people of the states many
 times and like all important reforms has
 many prejudices to combat, but the end sooner or later IS ever destined to be ! reached.
 At a meeting held in Milwaukee the
 other day City Clerk Anderson deliver ed himself vf moving address, ID which he sad:
 "It was sad sight to see conRre- cation whose combined wealth was mil- lions demanding exemptlon from tax on
 .heir princely cathedral, while the wid-
 with three or four children IS taxed
 remorselessly to meet every fund tte
 city or county raises, the fund to pay
 the church for conducting it's orphan
 ssylums included. But the widow was
 weak and the church strong and
 wealthy"
 There is no equality in such taxation and equality before the law IS the pre-. rogative and right of every American citizen, and neither privileges nor rights should be granted to one that IS for- tiddeu enjoyment to another. We say tbis with all due respect and reverence to churches and church organizations, but there is no justice in taxing any one man for the support of his neigh bors religion.
 President James A. Garfield, who bore one of the names moss revered in Amer i ;an history, God fearing christian once said:
 "Ths divorce between church and state ought to be absolute. It ought to be so absolute that no church property any where, in any state, or m the nation, should be exempt from equal taxation; { if you exempt the property of any church organization, to that extent you impose tsx on the whole community"
 There is ID the United States IS de- termined by the census of 1890 total value of church property amounting to 5679, ,69i. .439 of which the Methodist own and control S132, l40,- I79; the Roman Catholic SIS, ,371, ,366; S94, ,S69, ,O97; Episcopal, S82, ,S35, 4ls; Baptist, sS2, ,392, ,423; Copgre- S43, ,335, a37; Lutheran, s35,- .6O,354; Reformed, sls,744, PAP; DIciples of Christ, SIP, 2O6, ,O3S; Unitarian, Sl0,- 335, 100; Jewish congregations, s9,754,- 275; sUDiversalist, sS,054 ,333, and so on down the long list of the Az religious bodies professing faith of one kind or another n the United States. Now as all tbis great aggregation of temporal wealth G-r."rds and receives the pro- tection of lsw, It is manifestly fair that it should besr ils j1st proportion of tue state expens,s.
 It is, however, 70 far as Arizona is matter for the conscience and consideration of our law makers. For our part We behave m squal rights before the law in suffrage anO taxation.

A Noraeio.s Animal

Some time ago the mOngOOse was in- troduced into the island of Jamaica to destroy the rats, which were doing much damage to the sugar cane. But the Kingston papers say it's activity did not stop there. It destroyed snakes, tOads, insectivorous birds and other en- emies of the insect race, and as result there been a great increase in the num- Der of ticks, grass lice, beetles, flies and other small pests. Horses suffer se- verely, and sometimes die, from the att tacls of the ticks, which get into their ears. nostrilS and threats. As the mon goose finds the rats, snakes, tOads and crabs disappearing it attacks sitting fowls and carries off their eggs, and kills young pigs. kids, lambs. calves, pups, kittens, poultry and game birds, destroys fruits and vegetables and is suspected of sucking sugar cane, eats meat and salt provisions and catches fish.

Two YEARS ago the states of Wash ington and Wyoming were deprived of proper senatorial representati, because of the inability of their respective lesis- istures to agree on any one individual. It now looks as if Oregon would be simi- liarly situated. Here is another big ar gument making the election of senators by direct vote of the people instead Of by the stats legislatures as now. Thls would do away with lobbying and the purchase of senatorial seats as vel. as save thousands of dollars to the states whose legislatures fritter away half theli time in a senseleSs struggle.

 one of those birdhOuseS you see perched

 All around the bare little chapel are, shelves from floor to ceiling with these

A great many of the relatives live at a distance, and so have no time to come and say prayer over the grave. or else are rheumatic and lind l1neeling on the damp, chilly ground not conducive to comfort, so they hire small boy for so much quarter of an hour to say their prayers for them. In consequence all over the cemetery you may see small boys devoutly digging their little bare toes into the ground and repeating the prayers in a businesslike manner, that must give the powers above a curious impression of human love and remem- brance
 In Paris they have the same custom, of exhuming the bones after a certain time, but there they throw them all in the common trench, where the poor are crowded together in death, as they are crushed together in life. There is also a curious survival of French feeling in our own eountry-in New Orleans-on this very subject. There they have catacombs above the ground, and the coffin is put in one of the inches, which is then filled with quiclxlime and sealed up.

Mothers.

"One good mother is worth hun dred schoolmssters, said George Her. bert. Men are what their mothers are peevish and irritable, through irregul- srlties' "female weakness" and kindred ailments, they find no pleasure, no beauty in the care of their babes.

BOARD IMMIGRATION.

One of the important measures tc come before this session of the leglsla
 ture is the bll providing for a board oi immigration. :,nch a board IS one of
 ;he necessities of the territory at this
 time. We have here in Arizona the
 very Eden of America. Our fertile
 valleys, where all kinds of semltrop- lcal fruits can be rnised without fear of loss from frost; where we have small fruits and frerh vegetables every day ID the year; where we have 35O days of sunshine out of every 365, making 1t the greatest senitarium in the world ; where W. have vast mountain store houses of precious metals, only await ing the necessary capital for develop ment; where We have the finest stock grazing ranges in America, with DO fear of loss from severe winter weather; with the largest uher belt on the con- tinent, sli scrhery ina; i not equalled by the Rocky Mjua;srs, YellewstoDt park UT tue DS- tlitG- SOECi.s any Ohc can fiud what he wants in ArIzona.
 All that is necessary Is to let those who are seeking homes, or seeking profitable investment for capital, know of the advantages of our territory and 1t will be built up, our resources de veloped, and our population increased by the best brain end brawn of the na- tioD until the new state of Arizona wi T stand fcrGh as the foremost state in ths union.
 But what IS everybody's business is business, and there should, by all means, be board of Immlgra- ton, whose business 1t will be to ad- vertise our territory The bill should pass both hous ses without a dissenting voice. e.-Arizona Populist.

Great Sum of Foreign Securities Held in
 England and France.
 The reported valuation of all proper ty in the United States by the cens-s of 1890 was sG5. .O37 .O9f, ,1g7 OF $I.056 DIT capita for the entire population. Tins enumeration. however. dealt WitA prop erty in the United States and cid not go into the question where 1t Is owned. If the estimate of Mir. Robert Giffen is correct that S5.OOO.OO0,O coo in foreign capital was invested in this country in 1880, probably an even larger amount IS so invested at the present time. De duction should also be made for the high value put upon waste public lands in the census. with the net re suit that the per capita valuation of the United States would be reduced to about S950, or S4,750 for a family of five. Estimates made by careful econ Omists, who come pretty near agree ment among themselves, put the valua ton of Great Britain about nine years ago at $50. COG. .O00. .O00and that of France at SiO. .OO0. .OOO. GOO. This, says the United States Investor, would afford a per capita valuation of $l,S3S for Great Britain and S1 .OSl for France, making the valuation for a family of five S6,69O in Great Britain and S5,l0j in Trance. The figures of France are placed some what higher by some authors. and the total in both countries includes careful estimates Of the large holdings of for eign securities. some of them covering property located in the United States.
 The great holdings of foreign securi- ties. estimated to amount in Great Brit ain to about SSOOO, ,00O 0OO explain to a large extent the adverse bal ancc of foreign trade constantly shown by the British statistics. Great Britain would long apO have been denuded of her gold and become bankrupt if the excess of imports over exports shown by her trade statistics were true measure of her financial condition The fact that about S400,CO0,OO0 i, due her annually in interest charges upon British capital placed abroad ex plains how she can afford to import several hundred million pounds sterling of foreign merch andise in excess of the domestic merchandise which she ex- ports. France is estimated to hold S4,- 0OO.

She said that her sisters, though, were going to be SchOol-teachers. They can be teachers just as easy as can be, {" said she, because my papa and my grandpa know all the politics" The little girl probably meant politicians. when she said politics. but her idea was practical one.
