CARPETS WERE UNKNOWN.
How the Fourteenth Century Mansions
 Were Furnished.

How the Fourteenth Century Mansions
 Were Furnished.
 Carpets in the fourteenth century were unknown luXuries, says Good Words. but the fashion of strewing the apart ments with rushes was being gradually abandoned. Bushes were still used in the retainers' hall, but for the better rooms sweet-scented herbs and fragrant twigs were usually employed.
 In the fourteenth century windows were apertures filled with glass so as to admit light, but to exclude wind. The walls also were frequently hung with cloth or tapestry to protect the inmates of the room from the many currents of air that penetrated the strong but bad ly built walls. We learn from various ancient documents that it was the duty of the serving men and pages to sweep out the principal apartments, but as the use of water is rarely mentioned, damp and fragrant leaves and twigs must have aided not only in collecting the dust, but also toward refreshing the at- mosphere in such costantly closed rooms, fresh air being only admitted through the doors opening on to the battlements or balconies.
 From old inventories at Thurleigh and elsewhere we ascertain how scant- fly furnished were these ancient man. sions, although they seem to have been abundantly supplied with flagons and drinking cups in gold, silver and finely engraved pewter, besides an infinite number of black jacks or cups made Of leather.

the niggardly salaries of the present We should not be satisfied with a sal
 ary alone. We should not mortgage the possibilities of our future, more particularly after having the opportu- mites so apparent as are those in Phoenix today, called to our attention
 No! We should, while opportunity is ours, have the courage to take life as it comes-feast or famine. The read CTS of this article and their friends throughout the United States and Can ada can remit to our credit $100 to the Phoenix National bank, with an addi- tional $250 registry fee, when the bank will return them warranty deed and abstract of title. Should they so de- sire the property can be taken care of by our agency. Parties, and we invite every deserving person while the lots remain, living throughout Arizona that desire to purchase on the installment plan can remit as above one-third of the lot purchase, when we will place in the bank a warranty deed in escrow which will be returned when balance of purchase money is paid. The low est priced lots now offered is $100. In making this offer, Kilroy's New Pal estine agency is giving to it's patrons at least an aggregate sum of $35, ,000 in values, viz: $50 on each lot so sold Besides a lovely home in lovely city and valley. Speaking of this property we wish to be distinctly understood, over our own signature, that it stands today without an equal either in loca- tion, proximity to business center lcsNi iro liness in the Salt River valley. It's phenominal beauty with it's streets and avenues, from 60, 80 to 100 feet wide; its every lot covered with a perfect growth of alfalfa (meadow), it being the only addition to Phoenix having a sanitary sewer, is now, and has been, the talk, admiration and at traction of thousands and thousands of refined visitors from the many states of our Union, as we'll as Canada and Europe during the past winter very flying the old adage, ''That you can drive 6 stone upward for a moment into the air, but it is true that all stones will forever fall; and whatever instances can be quoted of unpunished theft, or of deception, Tor lie that's worse-which somebody credited, jus tice must prevail, and it is the privi-

THE FORMIDABLE UMBRELLA.
A French Tragedian Finds It Mightier
 Than the Sword.

A French Tragedian Finds It Mightier
 Than the Sword.
 The affection of the collector for the objects of his zeal has been amusingly illustrated by story told of Melingue, French tragedian who had a mania for gathering together great quantities of old vestments, arms and similar an- tique apparatus. Among his treasures was beautiful and keen-edged sword which had belonged to Philip H., son of Emperor Charles V.
 Having worn this sword in piece in which he was performing, Melingue was making his way homeward in Paris one night. The weather was rainy, and he carried an umbrella. Under his cloak he bore the precious sword of Philip II.
 Coming around a corner, Melingue was suddenly menaced by two sneak thieves. He was an expert fencer, and knew that with the sword he could quickly beat the rascals off. But he said to himself:
 What! Betray to these rascals that l have such a precious possession? No! They might be too much for me, after all, and then they would get it. I will keep it out of sight"
 So saying, he placed his left hand on the hilt of the sword inside his cloak, and with the other hand let down his umbrella. With this as weapon, he assaulted the footpads with such force and spirit that he put them to flight.
 In this case the umbrella turned out to be mightier than the sword,

Louis Napoleon's Prediction.

A correspondent of the New York Sun calls attention 10 the fact that in his "Recollections of a Minister to France" MT. Washburne says; "I was somewhat surprised to hear him (Na- poleon III.) remark that he thought Spain could not hold Cuba, and that the result would be that she would sacrifice all her soldiers and spend all her money and then lose the island in the end.''

"If we have got to give it up," he said, i've may as well begin now" He never smoked again.

Every lot elegantly situated and perfect, no ravines or broken lands, and each covered with a luxuriant growth of alfalfa.

No interest charged on deferred pay ments. We address ourselves particularly to people paying rept exhorbitant rents, for poor Accommodations both in houses and rooms, every dollar of which is that of practical waste when paid by the permanent settler. This offer cannot last long. Hence, to the renter of houses and rooms we say-COME AND SEE US, you are now wasting from SIP to s2O per month in rent, buy family tent and live on your own property until you decide later on to build or sell your lot st big ad- vance, thus saving not only money, but owning lovely home for what, otherwise would ge to landlord.

see the present danger and we see the
threat and menace of the future. But
there Is one strange thing about their
reports-neither Minister Ransom nor
any OF our consuls, with enc exception
seems TO understand what is the cansn
OF TINS great danger and future men
ace TO our trade. Either they have not
studied the question deep enouoh or
they DO not feel at liberty to tell the
real cause. TIC
what remedy Is offWed:by our Re-
publican friends for this condition that
confronts us? They offer the cold
standard and high protection. When
tney offer the gold standard as a rem.
coy they offer us cure which ia the
very poison that has caused the dis.
ease. When they offer US higher nro-
lection as remedy they offer that
which can not protect the mannf.c.
turer or the farmer against the over.
shad0wing evils caused by the sinoio
gold standard. "s'e

conscious tool of British gold and or
gained monopoly. 1t can never he
settled until the people elect a Presi-
dent-until the people elect man for
President who is broad enough to see
the needs of the whole country and
who has the desire to do right with the
same high patriotic unselffshness and
devotion to duty as was exhibited bv
Jefferson, Jackson, and Abraham Lin
coin.
There is no hope for relief, there ia
no hope for better times in the future
there is nothing ahead for US but de,
spalr and poverty as long as we con-
tinue to place at the helm of state such
aliens, such enemies to American pros
perity and liberty as Grover Cleye-
land and some of his predecessors. We
must put in that high place a man whS
is an American, who is a patriot. How
can it be done? Are not ninety-nine
people out of a hundred in this country
to-day suffering from the present evil
conditions brought on US by bad legis-
latlon and mismanagement of Govern
ment affairs? Who brought about
these evil conditions? 1t is not Gods
fault that this country is in distress.
he has not visited US with plaques.
famines, or pestilence, but has He not
blessed us with sunshine and showers?
Has He not blessed the American
freeman with health and strength to
make two blades of grass grow where
one grew before? It is not the fault
OF the people, for have they not used
In an extraordinary degree the op-
portunities that have been placed be-
fore them? Each year they have
worked harder than the year before.
Each year they have created more
wealth per head. In fact, they have
created SO much wealth that the gold
bugs and the mOnOpolists have raised
the cry that the people are running the
country by creating too much wealth
by making an Overproduction Of
wealth. In short heaven has given us
the opportunity to make ourselves
rich and prosperous; We have used
that opportunity, and created enough
wealth to make this country blossom
like rose and to surround every man
