There are so many things which may
be done in any year for the good OF
the community by a city in it's cor
porate capacity, or by the majority of
its citizens, that it is hard to decide
what is the necessary thing for St.
Paul to do in 1896. The views of each
citizen are naturally biased, more or
less, by his own business or interests.
Nevertheless, it is entirely fair that
every interest should be represented

PROCLAMATION.
Territory of Arizona, Executive Of

Territory of Arizona, Executive Of flee. To the People of Arizona, Greeting:
 AS people we should be devoutly thankful for the blessings and benefac- tions that have been vouchsafed to us during the current year. States, like persons, have their epochs of activity and depression; after hours of suffer- ing there usually come periods of con- parative ease. We should not be un- mindful of the gratitude we owe AL mighty God for His divine favor, and should rejoice over the events of the past year which promise so much for the future of our territory and Ma tion. Arizona has been favored with plentiful rains and bountiful harvests which insure good returns to the hus- | bandman and renewal of industrial activity. We have been in the full en- 1 joyment of civil and religious liberty, and our advancement in the arts and sciences, and the development of intel 1 lectual and moral power has made con- tinued progress.
 In accordance with the time-honOred custom, and in compliance with the proclamation of the president of the United States, I, Benjamin J. Franklin, governor of the territory of Arizona, by virtue of the power conferred upon me by law, do hereby designate and set apart Thursday, the 26th day of the present month of November, to be kept and observed by the people of Ar izona as day of thanksgiving and praise; and I do hereby recommend that on that day the people abstain so far as possible from their ordinary pursuits and occupations, and assem- ble in their usual places of worship to offer thanks to God in spirit and in truth
 It is day especially appropriate fol the works of charity and mercy. Re membering that all our doings without charity are nothing worth, we trust this very bond of peace and all virtues will be exemplified in. the observance of the day. That those who have beer
 blessed with prosperity and plenty
 should remember with sympathy tht
 unfortunate and needy, and by gen erous contributions from their bounty to the poor, enable all to share in tn,
 general thanksgiving.
 In witness whereof I have hereuntt set my hand and caused II (seaD the great Seal of the Ter ritory to be affixed , Done at Phoenix, the Capital, 1thi , 16th day of November, A. D., 1896.

EFFECTIVE METCnmiAkiiIG.

Simple and Direct Method Employed by
 the Neg Perces Indians.
 An old custom was revived by the Nez Perces Indians and their visitors during the celebration on the last Fourth of July, says the Morning Ore gonian. The natives of the local tribe are very wealthy people, and there are designing mothers among the aborig- ines as well as in the different classes of civilized society. The young bucks of the Neg Perces tribe ere regarded somewhat like the scions of royalty in matrimonial circles. The maidens from all visiting tribes were brought to Lap wal to find husbands. The customs of the tribes, which were revived for the occasion, were more effective than the Boston mans way.
 The maria geahle maidens were by common accord oEartercd in a selected spot in the valley Of the Lapwai. At an appointed hour the yorHr Ecn who wanted wives to share thei~ H-ru;ties, their horcstca3s arG tho affections of their hearts "Nreared in rrcc ssion on the halloVed sarp ground I'he hour was midn cit ari the SC ne was in a grove of tl7cs I rade fragrant by the wild flowers. ard every heart danced to the music of the rippling waters. The young men marched forth, and none but candidates for matrimony joined the march. They were dressed in thei1 brightest colors, and each carried a white willow cane. AS they approached the tents they chanted an Indian chorus that was as doleful as the song of the owl, and kept time by beating upon the tents with their canes. The drumming was deafening to the distant spectator and must have been distracting to the waiting maidens in the tents. At last the singing and the drumming had tho desired effect.
 The maidens came forth, after delay just long enough to satisfy that uni versal passion of the mind of wom an to drive lover mad with doubt There were more men than maidens The former kept up the march and th' music without. The maidens counter marched on the line of the same circle each selecting husband from the line The chosen ones hastened to follow tEeir brides away into the darkness , The unfortunate suitors were left to de | spair.

MEDICINE AND ADVERTISING.

The medical fraternity has long held to the proposition that it is violation of the ethics of the profession to ad- vertise in newspaper. There are many other equally absurd traditions to which the profession clings, such as writing the prescription in Latin. We believe that physicians who don't ad- vertise are conscientious in observing rule of their profession, but we also believe that the time will come when physicians will no longer be slaves to the musty traditions of the past. There is no reason why the sick should not be allowed to find out through the me- dium of the press where they can go and receive scientific treatment All over the world the specialist is coming to the front, for he is the man who makes himself proficient by handling few diseases instead of endeavoring to cure all. It stands to reason that it is necessary for such man to let the public know the diseases to which he gives special attention, and he must do so by advertising. The answer to this is that quacks will get in their deadly work. The laws against med ical quackery are quite severe all over the country, and when a quack comes in contact with superior medical skill he must go down.
 There are physicians now located in their big tent. They have liberally advertised themselves and as a result their offices are crowded. The old line physicians will doubtless object to the De Monto show as beneath the dignity of the profession, but any method by which the public can be brought together and made to take an interest in themselves is correct when ''the end justifies the means
 There are many people who have dis eases slowly taking possession of theil systems, who, from motives of delicacy delay the time of consulting a physi. clan, but when their attention is called to their condition by public lecture they are aroused to sense of the ne cessity of immediate action. Others especially ladies afflicted with ail- ments peculiar to their sex, oft-times hesitate when it comes to visiting the local physician and much prefer con. sulting a stranger if assured of his ability.

KIPLING'S SNAKE.
Showing the Force of an nl-Ordered I'm.
 agination.

A writer in McClure's Magazine tells how he edited paper in India with the help of Rudyard Kipling, and he men tions as . side issue peril from snakes which Kipling once underwent. The danger of snakes in Lahore was real enough, and the place was rich in SCOT pions. The person who tells the story had been stung by a scorpion in bed one morning, and Kipling aided him in the afternoon in a scorpion hunt. They found 26 under the mating in the yer anda outside the bedroom door, beside few centipedes, and put the lot into large tumbler, and filled it up with whisky.
 One day, when we were dressing in the morning, I heard Kipl.rg Ghouting, and went into his room. His face was pale with horror, and he was tightly clasping one leg above the knee.
 ''There's a snake," he gasped, ''inside my trousers, and I think I've got him by the head. Put your hand up from be- low and drag him out"
 Iobserved that Kipling only thought he had it by the head, and that really it's head might be at the other end, in which case-but before I had finished, I saw the horror in his face relax and give place to puzzled look succeeded by fits of laughter. Endeayoring to as- certain by the sense of touch whether t was the head he was grasping, he had discovered that it did not really feel like any part of snal1e tall h fact it had a buckle, and he rt..l..3ed ,...., his braces i had been dangling inside the garment ] when he put it on.
