Capitol Notes.

Manager Beebe of the Silver King mine. was guest on the council floor.

 MT. Jones says Councilman Rabbit is the best looking of the dozen and tinction.
 Editor Darlington of Yuma, who has sat in several Arizona legislatures, is making one of his angels visits in town.
 For next Tuesday evening many memb bers have received invitations both to the asylum party and that at Gov Murphy's residence.
 Morris Goldwater of Prescott, whose name was mentioned in connection with the chief clerkship of the council, was legislative visitor.
 Gus Hirshfeld paid the upper house visit and frightened his pockets of some choice Havanas. He is popular with nearly all the members.
 A handsome large size portrait of Councilman Aspinwall, Apache county's able representative, reposes ip the show window of Cook & Bell, the new jewellers.
 A couple of Graham county gentle nen si.o sat within the rail of the council chamber were Sheriff Arthur Wight and Clerk Harry Smith of the board of supervisors.
 President Doran, who has served in seen so much good work accomplished in so short time and with so little function as up to date in the council.
 Representative Finley has gotten over being surprised at what local option and Sunday closing laws the house will pass. He goes in strong for law and order but differs with majority of his colleagues upon the practica bility of certain measures.

 An attempt was made by Photog- rapher MessInger to secure view of the house, standing on the front steps of the building. An unusually high wind which caused his large camera to con- siderably vibrate and an accident to the hard rubber slide, made postpone ment necessary.
 Messrs. Dunlap, Hunt, Packard and Crosby were the recipients of comic valentines. Representative Crosby was depicted as whitening beneath the fierce glance and uplifted club of g monumental female, the outcome doubtless, of his having said iokingly in debate that his wife was large woman and that he would never dare to go home after voting against woman suffrage.
 Printed reports of the different terri torial commissions and superintend ents of institutions were laid upon the desks of mem bers of both houses They are very neatly gotten up typo. graphically and are uniform in size Appearing early in the session they can be consulted and are of much greater ser vice to members than if postponed, as

PERlLs or A MEsMERlC EYE.


They Drove n Respectable, Clean Shaved
Lawyer Into Whiskers.
A we'll known lawyer who has always
taken considerable pride in the classic
mold of his clean shaven face appeared
in the county court rooms recently with
well developed growth of very unbe-
coming beard Every friend that he met
wanted to know why he didn't get
shaved, and finally he Corralled half a
dozen of them i'll "A corner and told them
the reason.
He had never learned the art of shay
ing himself and had always patronized
one barber Not long ago the barber
dropped into the habit of telling him
that he (tho lawyer) had mesmeric
eye. The lawyer didn mind much what
his barber thought of his eye so long as
he shaved him satisfactorily. But hav-
ing discovered that the lawyers eye
was mesmeric the barber went step
further and once in awhile, after max
ing slip with the razor, would explain
that it was because he was mesmerized,
SO that he did not know what he was
about Matters went on this way for a
week or so, the barber insisting that he
was mesmerized every time the lawyer
looked squarely at him, and the lawyer
took it for granted that the mesmerism
business was dodge to excuse the &C.
casional cuts from the razor.
| a different aspect was put to the case,
| however, the last time the barber shaved
| his lawyer customer. Leaning over him
after he had finished, he asked if the
lawyer thought a man would be eXcusa-
BILE for cutting the throat of one who
mesmerized him. The lawyer said he
certainly would not be eXcusable and
got out of the chair as quickly as pos
sible. He learned afterward that the
barber had developed into perfect
crank on the subject of mesmerism, and
nothing will persuade him that he did
not have very narrow escape. He will
probably 90 to another barber some
time, but at present his nerves are SC
shaken by the occurrence that he pre-
fers to wear an unbecoming beard to
sitting down in any barber chair. Chi

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light Safe; nothing could
be safer. a few days ago a prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down TO
the office of the Electric Company and said:
give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
SO near setting fire to the house and burning
my children aud | take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

At length Alba stood before him.
reverse of reality, for she struck her
face and exclaimed: "How ugly l am |
How terribly ugly! Perhaps because of
this my mother hides me from the sight
of men and gives me such handsome
dresses and splendid jewels, which are
only fit for queen to wear. Perhaps
she does this in order to console me for
my want of beauty"
Precisely at this moment came the
sound of horses hoofs along the stony
crags, and her eyes, transfxed with ter
ror, perceived the beautiful stranger
whose life was to be the price of his
mad venture advancing toward the por-
tails of the citadel.
At all risks she must warn him of his
danger. Springing from rock to rock
nimbly as young chamois, her bright
hair and green mantle streaming in the
wind, she sped toward the young stran-
ger, her tiny feet scarcely skimming the
earth as she went. Struck with admira-
ton on perceiving her, the prince refined
in his steed, asking himself what kings
daughter, what mountain fairy, was this
speeding toward him. Now she cried,
quite out of breath and waving her
lovely arms toward him:
go baokl Go back Do not come up
higher on the mountain, as you value
your life. "
Were death to be the forfeit" said
he, 81 should die quite happy after
having been blessed with the vision of
the most beauteous maiden ever seen on
Gods earth"
At length Alba stood before him. A
faint blush tinged her maiden cheek as.
looking at him in wonder with her
splendid large eyes, she said, "Am |,
then, really beautiful?'
"Oh, yes, so marvelously beautiful
and so altogether enchanting with thy
rich golden hair, that from this very
moment | love thee dearly"
81 love thee also" said the innocent
maid, for she was not aware that in the
society of mortals one must not SO read
lily reveal ones secret thoughts, "but
do not say that my hair is golden, for
gold is so ugly"

THE EARTH is RUNNING SLOW.


But the Scientists Need Not Alarm One
Seriously Yet.
Lord Kelvin estimates that the run
ming slow of the earth in its daily 70.
tation round its axis amounts to 22 sec
onds per century.
The main cause of this retardation is
the friction caused by the tides, which
act as brake, the action of which has
been calculated by this eminent physi-
cist to be equal to a weight of 4, 900, 900
tons applied on the equator.
Other causes have also to be taken in
to account-as, for example, the increase
in the size Of She earth, due to the fall
ing on it of meteoric dust, which, if de-
posted at the rate Of one foot i'll 1000
wears, would produce the observed re-
tardation by itself.
Such a phenomenon as the annual
| growth and melting of snow and ice at
the poles is introducing irregularities
into the problem, the growth at the
poles, by abstracting water from the
| other parts of the ocean, accelerating
the earth's motion, and the melting, by
restoring the water, retarding it.
Against the retarding forces there has
to be taken into account a probable ac-
celeration, due to the gradual sinking
of the earth by cooling, but this Lord
Kelvin believes to be very small-per.
haps not more than one six-thousandth
part of the retardation due to tidal fric
ton.
Professor Newcomb has declared from
astronomical considerations that the
earth went slow and lost seven seconds
between 1850 and 1862, and then wen
fast and gained eight seconds between
T 1862 and 1872, changes of rate explica
BILE by possible changes in the earth Z
! shape, so slight as TO bequite undisoov
cradle in astronomical observations. -

CONFEDERATE STAMPS.

Persons who have kept any OF
the old letters they received in the
South during the war might do well
to look them over.
The Confederate Government
authorized the issue and use Of
local postage stamps and nearly
every city in the South at one time
had its own stamp. Many thous-
ands Of these were used, but so
rare are they now that they bring
very high prices. There is among
collectors . keen demand for them,
and m idea Of what they will bring
may be gathered from the report Of
. sale which occurred recently at
the rooms Of the PhiIatelic Society,
New York. LEGAL Confederate
stamps sold - follows:
Athens, Ga. $40; four varieties
Of the Baton Rouge. La, five-cent,
$4l. ST. and $50 respectively;
Macon, Ga, two varieties, for
&63 so and Sill; Lenior, N. c..
