EXCURSIONS TO PRESCOTT.

Since the inauguration of the new and unexcelled passenger train service on the s. F., P. 6 P. railway, you can go to Prescott on Saturdays, leaving here at 9:15 a. m. and return on Mon day at 6:90 a. m. or 4:10 p. m., mount ain time. The fare is only $S:2O for the round trip, on excursion days, which will be every Saturday during the summer. Here is an opportunity for Phoenix business men to send their families to Prescott where they will escape the heat in the valley, then visit them every Sunday.
 Prescott climate during the summer is delightful, the nights being always cool enough to enable one to secure re- freshing sleep. Many people rent tents and camp out among the pines, which makes the expense of living very small. Desirable camping grounds can be found within radius of one mile from Prescott. For fur ther information write or call on B. W. Gillett, acting general agent, Phoe- nix, Ariz.

ONE HUNDRED MILLION STARS
How Astronomers Compute the Number
 Tn the Heavens.

How Astronomers Compute the Number
 fn the Heavens.
 Let us see what richness of stallar distribution is implied by this number of 100, 100000 of visible stars, says the Gentleman's Magazine It may be easily shown that the area Of the whole sky in both hemispheres is fl, ,s55 square degrees. This gives 2,424 stars to the square degree.
 The moons apparent diameter being slightly over half a degree (31 deg. 5 min.). the area of it's disk is about one fifth of a square degree.
 The area of the whole star sphere is consequently about 100000 times the area of the full moon. A total of 10O,- 100000 of stars gives therefore 50O stars to each space of sky in area to the full moon. This seems large number. but stars scattered over as thiclzly as this would appear at a considerable dis tance apart when viewed with a tele- scope of high power As the area of the moons disk contains about 7S0 square minutes of arc, there would not be an average of even one star to each square minute. A pair of stars half a minute, CT thirty seconds, apart would form very wide double star, and with stars placed at even this distance the moons disk would cover about 3 600, or six times the actual number visible in the largest telescope.

EXCURSIONS TO THE GRAND
 CANYON.

On July 16 and every alternate Thursday to and including September 10, 1896, the S. F., P. & P. railway will place on sale round trip tickets from Phoenix to Flagstaff at one fare for the round trip. The limit will be for thirty days, enabling parties to take advantage of long trips to the Grand canyon of the Colorado river. First class stage accommodations, includ- ing meals and guides, can be secured at Flagstaff. This will afford an oppor- tunity to people of Arizona to visit one of the grandest wonders of the world. It is claimed that people from other states and territories take more interest in this trip than our own resi- dents. Arizona people should know more of their own territory. Here is their chance and at less expense than ever before. For particulars call on or write B. w. Gillett, general agent, Phoenix

BARRIERS IN AUSTRIA.
They Must Serve in All Cases a Three
 Years' Apprenticeship

They Must Serve in All Cases a Three Years Apprenticeship. | The Austrians take no chances with l their barbers, says the New York World | They must be good, and the Barbers' and Wignakers' union of Vienna sees to it that they are. Provision is also made in their code for women barbers who desire to carry oI the business Of of their husbands in case of the Iatter's death or illness.
 But in order to do this the wife must have been enrolled in the union as an ap- prentice for three years. Apprentices, by the rules of the union, must appear in Vienna in the presence of judges of the union and show their skill before they are allowed to open shops of their own.
 A properly certified barber must have knowledge of and pass an examination in shaving, hair-cutting, hair-curling and wig-making, and during the period before the issuance of certificate the poor and others who are frugal serve as subjects for experiment..
 At the examination the young men have their razors dulled by four strokes in a pine plank, and they must then sharpen them. A subject is assigned to each, who must be tonsorially perfect, iii the opinion of the judges, when the apprentice has released him.
 After this a certificate is issued and the apprentice serves two years as journeyman before he may open shop as an employer. The average age of ap- prentices when they begin to learn their trade is 13 years.

The Scottish Monarchy.

Malcom, the first king of Scotland, who lived in the eleventh century, was put to death by Macbeth, perhaps not exactly as described by Shakespeare, but at all events the plot of the great dramatist's play is strictly true to his tory. The Scottish monarchy is of much antiquity, Malcom having been the 5sth reigning sovereign after Fergus l., founder of the kinpdom.

"The frequency with which wheelmen
are being run down by teams leads ms to
the conclusion that an ordinance must
be passed compelling teams to carry
lights. said a prominent vheelmAn to
an EVENING JOURNAL reporter this
morning.
There is no good reason why We
should be Disseminated sgslnst In the
matter. Il is true that carriages and
wagons make mora noise than the wheel
but the Academia which happen on our
dark streets and roads are nearly always
due to the disregard of drivers for the
wheel lights and the inability of wheel
men TO see the horses and vehicles until
1t Is too late for them to be avoided"
