A n1lsnt Quotation.

Granger Gravelscratcher was O meek
little man, with wife who was his
diametrical opposite in every respect.
If she opposed him in anything, her CD
position went. So did he One evening
he was powerfully perusing the family
almanac proverbs, when his Joey Bag
stock eye fell on this soupcon of falla-
cious philosophy:
Woman is the Sunday Of man."
By gosh that's great" shouted he.
His helpmeet laid down her knitting
needles and looked OF him in amaze
ment.
whats great?' she asked after q
long pause.
"Say, Susan, did you know you were
my Sunday" he chuckled.
Susan sized him up as if she supposed
he were daft; then, nodding her head
emphatically and accentuating each
word with blow Of her fist on the ia
BILE, said:
Granger Gravelscratcher, may be
your Sunday, but I'll not let you have
day of rest until you buy me bonnet
that's fit to wear to church ~
Next morning when the meek little
man kindled the kitchen fire with the
almanac containing the fatal quotation,
he sadly remarked:

Relative brightness of the stars.

Tho dream of Joseph is tho oldest docu-
ment known in which tho brightness of
the stars is referred to. In 1t are mon
toned tho sun, moon and 12 stars, which
exceed all the other heavenly bodies In
splendor. NJ. Fizeau, q French astrono-
mer, has recently pointed out that, IL we
count the stars of tho first magnitude seen
In Egypt today, we shall find just 12, for
thirteenth is of somewhat doubtful bril-
liancy. These ~ stars are also mentioned
In an cvangel of ST. John; hence M. Fizeau
concludes that tho relative brightness of
tho stars has not appreciably altered since
tho times Of the pharaohs. Globe.

A LASH FROM THE WEST.
An Arizona Man Says Real "Woolincss'
Exists Only In tho East.


Tho eastern press and people never al.
low an opportunity to pass to cast slu1
upon the sturdy mon of Arizona. Ou1
people arc held up rs tho quintcssenco of
Ignorance, vulgarism, etc. Arizona is not
alono in this connection, tho ontiro west
and southwest aro included in thoir cate
CORY of simplicity. Every joke published
by the eastern press having for It's body
an exhibition of Ignorance or uncouth-
ness is shouldcred upon western men.
Tho remarkable primitiveness of the
western editor, tho simplicity and swag-
ger of western men, tho double listed, big
footed western maiden-all constitute
themes Of undying mirth for tho para
graphcrs of the eastern press. Western
people do not permit such plcasantries to
disturb Thorn, realizing that such liberties
arc duo to egotism arrayed in ignorance.
1t is perhaps impossible to find, outside
Of tho Virginia and North Carolina
mountain districts, moro rustic simplicity
and deeper shade of mental green than
il tho rural sections of New England
Compared with tho rural sections of tho
cast, tho western farmer brstlcs with
knowledge Tho average wcstcrner Is n
man of spirit, snap and enterprise; did he
lack these qualities no would havo re-
inained In tho antediluvian ruts of his an
ccstors and laughed at western Ignorance,
instead of carving famo and fortune from
tho undevclopcd opportunities of tho land
of tho setting sun.
Time is on tho wane, and in few short
years tho seat of political power will fol-
low commerce and tho hum of industry to
the west. Then will our brethren who live
OH tho borders of tho Goldfish reservation
wax humble in their pridc and doff their
hats to tho hurrah of Arizona and tho
