If you are thinking of going into the menagerie business you must take into consid deraticn the fact that the yearly cost of maintaining menagerie is near. ly equal to the value of the show. A good menagerie does not cost great sum, but it is an expe nsive luxury

LATTE CALIFORNIA NOTES.

The fact that South African, Eng fish, French and Belgian syndicates have all made large purchases of mines in California in the last few months has greatly stimulated the interest in prospecting and development on what is known as the Mother Lode" of the Sierra Nevada mountains. This lode has already yielded millions and is the source of the largest bullion pro- ducers today. The South African syn dicate, represented by Thomas Mein, and the French syndicate, headed by Count Poniatowski, are preparing to do extensive development work and utilize new electric plants in reducing ore. The new placer diggings on the Mojave desert are also attracting much attention.
 The entire crop of English walnuts held by the Walnut Growers associa- tion at Santa Barbara has been sold to a Chicago firm at trifle less than last years prices. The association held about half the county crop. The mar ket for walnuts has been injured by the financial stringency.

Do you know that ,Alkire's are sole agents for the soft finished German table damask and napkins? Well, they are, and beside that they are the first to show these goods in this city. Every lady brides herself on the table linen, and no household can be com- plete or happy now without the linen sold by Alkire's. Remember that they are the sole agents and you cannot buy these goods elsewhere in Phoenix. All housekeepers should certainly look them over before buying.

MONARCHS or EUROPE.
Few Of the SAME Nationality as
Their Subjects.

Their Subjects.
1t is a curious fact that there is
hardly a reigning monarch in
Europe whose family is of the
same nationality, absolutely, as
the people governed. The house
Of Austria is really the house of
Lorraine, and even in their origin
the Hapsburgs were Swiss. And
if the Emperor Francis be not,
strictly speaking, an Austrian,
still less is he a Hungarian, al
though he is King of Hungary.
The King Of Belgium is a Sake
Coburger; the King Of Denmark
a Holsteiner; the infant monarch
of Spain is n Bourbon; the King
of Italy Savoyard; the King of
Roumania and Prince Ferdinand
of Bulgaria are both foreigners;
the founder of the Bernadotte
dynasty in Sweden was born at
Pau less than a century and a
quarter ago; the Car is a Hols-
tein Gottorp, and the King of the
Hellenes is likewise a Hols-
teiner.
Even in England's royal family
there is very little English blood
left. The Hohenzollerns were
originally Suabians and, there
fore, partly Bavarians and partly
Swiss. Neither was the historic
house Of Orange, in which part
riotism has nearly always been
the first instinct, Dutch to begin
with.

SCiiatic
Rheumatism

For real blood diseases relief can only
be obtained by using real blood RENE
dy. So many people who are sufferers
from an obstinate or deep-seated blood

cannot possibly reach their trouble. 1t

blood remedies cannot reach that
SIS. has made some OF the most won
derfuI cures. Rheumatism is one of
the most obstinate diseases Of the blood,
and there are few remedies which have
any effect whatever upon it,
Mr.. Asa Smith, who resides at Green

writes:
''For many years have suffered from
That terrible disease known as Sciatic
