shrugged her shoulders and got ND,
shaking out her skirts as one who dis
missed the matter from her mind.
In the garden they saw Miss Gregori-
as and Will walking together. She wore
u white gown and no hat, but the sun
could search out no flaw in her skin,
while the ripping masses of her hair,
growing low ON her brow like Clytie's,
and untouched by scissors, started that
famous line Of beauty which flowed I'M
broken from head to foot and made her
every movement a joy to the beholder.
She was laughing, she was happy, she
had that peculiar radiance and warmth

Mamie, locking ont from distant win

A Small Land Grant,

What beyond doubt is the smallest body of land ever granted by the United States as homestead is in Dade, the extreme southeastern county of the state of Florida. It consists of small island in the north end of Lake Worth, and it is less than one-fourth of an acre in extent. Yet the claim for it was en- tered in the land office at Gainesville, and the owner paid five dollars for the fee and 37 cents for the land He makes about $50 a month from his investment, as the island is right in the path of green and loggerhead turtles coming into the lake from the ocean to feed, and there he catches them.

EXCURSIONS TO PRESCOTT.

Since the inauguration of the new and unexcelled passenger train service on the s. F., P. & P. railway, you can go to Prescott on Saturdays, leaving here at 9:15 a. m. and return on Mon day at 6:3O a. m. or 4:10 p. m., mount ain time. The fare is only $S:20 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, wh:cn makes the expense of living very small. Desirable camping grounds can be found within a radius of one mile from Prescott.

New Scheme for Making Plants Bloom
 Out of Season.
 Quite a revelation in horticulture has been in progress during the past decade, although, owing to the secret manner in which the experiments leading up to it have been conducted, comparatively few persons have been aware of the new de parture, says Chambers Journal. Everyone knows that flowers, as well as fruits and vegetables, are forced, so that those who are rich shall have the use of them before unaided nature brings them to maturity. The forcing business is an expensive one, requir- ing constant attention and skilled la- Dor. Many attempts, therefore, have been made to get at the golden eggs by cheaper means, and as result of many trials the opposite process to forcing has been adopted with sue cess.
 The system consists in retarding the Towering of the plant by refrigeration, and is,of course. only applicable to those which are hardy in this country, by which we mean those which will stand several degrees of frost. The lily of the valley is one of them, and it is much in request for purposes of decoration. Under the old forcing conditions only about 50 per cent. of the buds treated could be induced to flower, but by the freezing process an average of 95 per cent. can be secured from the end of summer up to Christmas. It will be noted that the process cannot be ap- piled to evergreens of any kind and it would certainly be the death of camel lias and probably hyacinths and tulips. It is said that near Berlin three grow CTS alone have nearly 300 acres of lily of the valley under cultivation and that they have adopted the refrigerating method with great success. It has long ago been proved that the plant can be cultivated in England with equal success, and we trust that the new meth cd will soon be tried on an extensive scale in this country.

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 E. w. Gillett, general agent, Phoenix
