Revival if spiritual harvest time.
Grain for the heavenly garner, under
the sunshine of divine truth, and
sheaves Of the Spirit, ripen and are

Spirit-baptized laborers, with sharp,

They that go forth reaping, bearing
precious seed, return again with joy,
bringing their sheaves with them.
One hour of joy of genuineRevival

fuence than any other Influence. Ten
minutes spent in His society every day,
ay, two minutes, if it be face to face
and heart to heart, will make the
whole day different. Every character
has an inward spring; let Christ be it.
Every action has a keynote; let Christ
set it. Yesterday you got a certain let
ter. You sat down and wrote a reply
which almost scorched the paper.
You picked the cruelest adjectives you
knew and sent it forth, without a pang,
to do its ruthless work. You did that
because your life was set in the wrong
key. You began today with the mir
ror placed at the wrong angle. To
morrow, at daybreak, turn it toward
Him, and ven to your enemy the
fashion of your countenance will be
changed. Whatever you then do, one
thing you will find you could not do

judgment may be unchanged; but if
you try it the ink will dry on your
pen, and you will rise from your desk

HIGHLY ENDORSED.
nan ,

With possibly one exception, there
is no domestic" magazine more widely
Or favorably known than The House
keeper of Minneapolis, Mimi. From
the standpoint of practical helpfulness
to the housewife it is without a peer.
1t is published twice a month, each
issue comprising twenty or more large
pages. The subscription price is only
fifty cents a year.
Here is what the Syracuse, N. Y,
Herald has to say about it:
mo better woman's magazine reaches
The Herald's table than The House
keeper, published at Minneapolis. It
is astonishing that the publishers of
this excellent semi-monthly can give
such good material for the price (ffty
cents a year,. A woman understands
woman's needs better than q man. The
Housekeeper is edited by women, and
the material given within its columns
twice a month is just the quality and
quantity the housewife and home
maker desires. Women are interested
in their sister housekee pers and The
Housekeeper is filed with ideas con-
tributed by it's readers-ideas that will
smooth the rough and ragged path of
housekeeping. Covering every branch
of home life as it does. The House
keeper is an ideal women's paper. It
is ably edited and is easily the best
houeekeeper's magazine of the present
day"

rendered homeless by the burning of
their houses. The district over which
the confagration swept was 81 miles in
length by more than a mile wide, Gov
ering the most densely peopled portion
of the city. 1t is said that $50 lives
were lost by accidents during the prog

at 1872 900, 900, this estimate not includ-

fire insurance companies were forced
to the wall by this terrible calamity,
their losses being so great as to drive
the companies into bankruptcy. The
cash contributions for the benefit of

amounted, within a month after the

DE-. Clerihew was asked if this proved
that a common blood was circulating
IN their veins and if a free interchange
OF the life current was taking place
between them. He said the fact of the
identity OF the temperatures was in
teresting, but not convincing, and that
IN the only previous operation of the
kind which he performed there had
been for two days a difference in the
temperature of the subjects.
The doctor added that the best re-
suits of the operation vera achieved
through the formation of capillaries
between the two surfaces. These ca
plllarles are minute hair like veins
which come out from the arteries and
terminate on the surface of the body.
They are the vessels which intervene
between the minute arteries and the
veins. The arterial blood is from the
heart. It is difused over the surface
OF the body by the hair like capilIiaries
before coming back to the veins to be
returned to the heart and lungs. The
formation of ca~piliaries in the two
wounded surfaces of the arm thus
effects an exchange of arterial blood
between the systems of the subjects.
Fresh blood direct from the heart
is pumped into the system of the weak
er patient by the greater physical
strength of his companion. Dr.. Cleri-
hew seemed to attach fully as much
importance, however, to the passage Of
magnetism between the two men as to
the exchange of arterial blood. It is
we'll known in this connection that
where an aged and robust person sleep
together the weaker draws magnetism
and vigor from the stronger. The Dur-
sing child is thus supposed to receive
not only physical nutriment from it's
mother, but magnetic strength as we'll.
The phenomena of kissing has also
been explained by a similar process of
reasoning.
For five days and nights Ingerslew
and Ruesch we're kept bound together.
The could freely move the fingers of the
arms that yer bound and the young
man experienced no unpleasant results,
aside from the close confinement, while
the older man steadily improved in
health. The removal of the bandages
was effected Thursday night. Then it
was found that a ibrous substance had
formed between the two wounds, and
that the capillaries appeared to have
grown together. The arm were di-
vided with the knife and the wounds
dressed.

observation Of DR.. Clerihew some days

If we've got a hobby it to make our $5 grade Of suits and oVercoatg

Monday morning J. II. Frazier, a
 car repairer in the employ of the
 Southern Pacific company was ruu
 over and killed in the Tucson yard.
 He was formerly employed in the same
 capacity by the N. M. X A. railway at
 Benson.
 A rumor is in circulation to the
 effect that the Tncson Mining and
 Smelling company have extensive i'm
 proyements in contemplation, one be-
 ing the purchase and erection of fifty
 ton water jacket, and another the
 building of canal and the irrigation
 of large area of alluvial lands on the
 Santa Cruz. The company is tinan- cially strong enough to do almost any thing it wishes.

He claims we are mis- taken in the fact that the horse has not been part of the menu in Ari- zona until the Prescott case was re- ported, but to the contrary, says that the Crittenden and Harshaw butcher bought lot of fat horses and is killing them. What becomes of the product we are not informed, but leave our readers guess what would naturally be the result, where fat horses are slaughtered by village butcher

 At Tucson, Friday of last week there died Jesus Maria Elias, one of the oldest and noted of Arizona frontiers. men, daring Indian fighter and gov ernment scout. He came of family of famous fighters. Originally there were four brothers in the family, all born and raised in Tucson, now there are but two, Cornelius was killed in an Indian fight and today Jesus crossed the great divide. He was captain of the expedition that wiped out the renegades at old Fort Grant. His brother Juan was also in that cele- brated conflict. In days ago he was well to do but misfortune came and he died a poor man. He leaves, besides his widow, two daughters and one son.
