Bill Nye's Advice.

Bill Nye i'll his advice to 2
young lady, says at is quite
proper to take young mans
arm after dark, but you should
return it to him afterwards
Never let a young man take your
arm however. He might crit,
else your muscles afterward
and 1t IS no way to live. Should
he attempt it, do not brain him
on the spot, for the odor of es-
Gaping gas would be disagree
able, but tell him to try and be
self-supporting, rather than to
lean upon the arm of a timid
girl. Should he be afraid OF the
dark, and again clutch wildly at
your arm, call a cab and send
him home. The cost will he
slight, and you never will regret
it."

the Humane Society against the

CORN CELLULOSE
FOR WARSH[PS
SEC. HERBERT FINDS IT SUPERIOR
TO THE COCOA PRODUCT.

Corn is king in new realm.
He was invested with the badge
of superiority by the order OF
Secretary Herbert, acting upon
the recommendations Of a board
OF naval experts, that cellulose,
from the pith of corn stalks, be
substituted for that from cocoa
hbre for use On Warships to pre-
vent leakage through apertures
made by shots from the enelny's
guns. It will be first used in
battleships Nos. 5 and 6.
Cellulose is q glucose of lnucil~
aglnous substance, obtained
from various piths, which vastly
increases its bulk when saturated
with water. Some preparations
OF it have been placed i'll naval
vessels to ilnize the chances
of sinking. from collision or iniu-
rles received il battle, by wholly
or partly preventing subsequent
leakage.
Secretary Herbert determined
to make the change directed in
his order for numerous reasons.
He Was convinced by the recent
tests made by the experts at III
dian Head that the foreign arti-
Gle was not only more expensive
than the corn stalk cellulOse, but
was inha,nmable, deteriorated
rapidly, and become decomposed
when wet for any length of time.
The newly adopted cellulose is
cheaper, keeps out the water
from the cofferdans, does not
corrode, is not DESTROYED bv
water and more than all these
reasons, is of American growth
and manufacture.

EXEMPT FROM FROST.
ecape.

Apparently the exemption which the
farmers and fruit growers of the Salt
River valley enjoy from damage from
late frost is not fully known and appre-
ciated at its real value. Recent ex-
perience of this and other localities
should serve to again call attention to
this important advantage. For some
reason not yet fully understood there is
less damage by frost in this sectional
least Oil the vast area lying between
Florence and Yuma-than in any other
portion of Arizona or California, ex-
excepting, of course, the small valleys
and coves of the foothills, where frost
is practically unknown. Even in the
most favored portions of the far
famed southern Califoria citrus belt,
there has been far more damage from
frost within period of ten years than
there has been in the Salt River valley.
The records will prove the statement.
The past thirty days has furnished
recent proof of the fact that the Salt
River valley is In belt where frost is
comparatively harmless. During that
period the late frosts have been un.
usually severe. Three weeks ago cher
ries, apricots and all early fruits and
vegetab les in California were so badly
damaged that in some localities moth

A Practical Idea.

Two young Buffalo schoolgirls were
talking about their future, says the
Courier of that city, when one of them
said that she did not care to be school
teacher, as she preferred to teach mu-
sic. 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.

fountain head it becomes the duty OF
Republicans to select good men as del

to be nominated. There is excellent

if there is general attendance at the

that the preliminary steps will be taken

Secretary Carlisle, have made whisky
the bond of eternal friendship between
you; you two have punished enough
whisky to have preserved the carcasses

G. Cleveland that he did not tell the

this is total failure, 1t is the first one. We
have had one or two light crops, but usually
the frosts have scarcely done so much as to
thin crops sufficiently, but very little artificial
thinning will have to be done this year. The
prune crop was also hurt very badly, and the
general outlook for fruit is, at this time, most
discouraging.
We have been unable to learn that
any appreciate damage was done by
this frost IN the Salt River valley. Ger
tain it is that vegetation in this city
was untouched by it, and no complaint
has been heard from any outside local
ity. Just what causes this immunity
from damaging frost, when other Sec
tions suffer severely, is not fully under
stood, but as to its advantage and the
Importance of that advantage there

BEAUTIFY THE CITY.


About the only difference between
Phoenix and the cities of southern CAL
ifornia is that in the latter more at
tention is paid to making the lawns
and yards attractive with shrubs, flow
ers, trees and grass. This is differ
ence that our people should not permit.
Let us make Phoenix the peer of any
city in the citrus belt, and this is the
season of the year when the work
should be commenced.
1t is now the time for general
brushing up for the summer season.
The tidy housekeeper has either en-
tered upon the annual crusade of reno
walton or has made plans for begin
ming; the gardener is clearing away
the rubbish of last years growth and
is placing plants for the season to come !;
the paintbrush is industriously piled,
and on all hands are seen efforts to
i'm prove the aspect of mans surround
ings.
1t is the time for planting trees and
shrubs and the sodding of lawns, and
it should be kept in remem brance that
the seasons for these things is extremely
short. House cleaning and it's kindred
duties can, if need, be done at any
time, but there is a time for beautify-
ing the surroundings with the verdure
of spreading branches and an emerald
carpeting, and that time is here. Every
owner of strip of ground which is his
home-or ii it be home for anybody
else-should Destir himself right now to
make it more attractive. Let him plant
the trees, the shrubs, the flowers, and
the grass-nature will do the rest.
This is the duty of not only the man
In town but it is doubly go that of the
rancher. To the rancher, especially,
trees are the most profitable crop he
can plant. They are permanent in
vestment, costing less than any other
plant he can put in the ground, causing
less labor for their care, and producing
a profit in the ultimate value of the
farm beyond all comparison with the
expense entailed.
Why is it that the average farmer can
be content to leave his dwelling ex-
posed to the scorching rays of summer
suns when at so little cost he could
provide shelter and enhance the value
OF his property so greatly, we could
never understand.
1t is cheering sign of awakening in
terest in this subject that every year
the number OF trees planted, both in
town and country, is rapidly increasing.
And there Is still great room for it.
Now let every man in Phoenix and
the valley, get to work IN this line and
we will not only have better climate
than California but handsomer land
ecape.
