money which the company was investing in the enterprise. If it should fail the company would lose everything and if the work should be abandoned half or partial y completed whatever might be done would become the property of the Territory, and would be good basis upon which the Territory or some one in it's interest might finish the enterprise.
 The argument was closed by General Wilson, who renewed his contention that the action was i'm proper. A mandatory writ, he said, could be issued only against an official to compel the perform ance of his duties under the law. The law Tn this case, he said, had not made the unlocking of the prison gates an. official duty. It was to be inferred from the line of the attorney generals argument that the only relief of the State of Arizona Improvement Company lay in an action againt the Terri tory for a breach of contract.
 He renewed his argument on the unauthorized imposition of hard labor upon convicts who had been sentenced only to confinement.
 The attorney generals view was plainly antagonized by the three associate justices, who met one proposition after another with queries which practically destroyed them. Associate Justice Hawkins called his attention to section 1882 of the compiled laws in which it was provided that the prison com missioners might regulate the dis cipline of the prison and order the conyicts to be put at faithful labor.
 Faithful" labor might be hard labor. It was true that the penal code did not empower courts to sentence convicts to hard labor, but the same authority which guided the courts, directed the prison commissioners. When the courts had passed sentence the convict entered the domain of tRe board of prison commissioners or it's successor, the board of control. The case being submitted court adjourned.-Phoe'sia Republican.

THE Algodones Grant, which has been assessed and carried on our tax rolls for years and became de- linquent by the Company refusing to pay its taxes, claiming the Com pany was exempt from taxation on account of it being a grant, the foi- lowing decision rendered by the Supreme Court of the United States and taken from the Tucson Citizen will prove instructive and interesting:
 On the 26th of last month the Supreme court of the United States handed down & decision in the case of Maish & Driscoll vs. The Terri tory of Arizona, which settles a num- Der of suits of similar nature, and is of much importance throughout the Territory.
 Under the terms of a Mexican grant Maish & Driscoll held large body of land which, in 1892 was placed on the tax roll of the country, and the owners objected to the assessment and refused to pay the taxes. In the district court decision was rendered against the owners. An appeal was taken to the supreme court of the Territory, where the judgement of the lower court was affirmed. The case then went to the U. 5. supreme court, where the orig inal decision was sustained. on the date above mentioned.
 These lands will be re-assessed from the time original action was begun, and will add quite little to the funds in Pima county's treasury The question of the liability of grant owners to taxation is thus settled and hereafter their lands will appear as sessed on the county taxrolls.

Directing Hired HeID,


LaborerS earn more when they are
kept at one kind of business through
out the day. If they are directed or
permitted to go from field to field, or
from one kind of business to another,
they will not always give a good ac-
count of their days work. 1t is a good
practice to let our work by the job
when it can be done. Then the man
feels that he is at work for himself
and, of course, he will do more work
than he would for another man.
Ditching, wood cutting and other
business may be jobbed out. And this
when the employer is not at home to
direct the work. But the business of
plowing, narrowing and tilling among
the corn and potatoes should be done
in the presence of the owner. When
the ground has been well prepared. and
no weeds interfere, good man. who is
used to handling a hoe, will dress an
acre in a day.
1t is fortunate that men of large cap
ital cannot invest in farms, and realize
as much as in bank and railroad stocks.
If they could they would soon own
most of the farms in the country. And
farmers would become tenants. in
stead of owners, of the soil.-Farm and

The bicycle seems to be making too
rapid strides into the field Of utility.
1t invaded avenues Of trade very soon
after its use became general, and it has
proved a valuable factor in many lines
of business, but there Is danger that its
enthusiastic advocates will push its
claims for availability too far. This
menace Is obvious in an incident re-
ported from EliZabethport, n. j., where
a funeral procession consisted OF two
carriages and fifteen bicycles. The
properly solemn aspect Of this occasion
could not fail to be marred by a sue
cession Of mOurners ON wheels. Such
a cortege requires all elements of mis-
chance to be eliminated as far as poSsi
BILE, and bicycles are so prone to have
various things happen to them at inop-
perfume moments that they are decid
edly out of place at funeral. One
punctured tire at such a time would be
sure to create the greatest confusion,
where all things should be staid and
calm, and the Imagination can picture
many other typical bicycle calamities
any one of which would be fatal to
funeral decorum. Surely line must
be drawn for bicycles, and let it be
drawn at funerals

Rhubarb Plants.

About almost every farmhouse can
be found an old, neglected row of rhu-
barb plants from which a few cuttings
are made in spring for sauce or pies
The sourness and oftentimes rank fla
yor of these old rows of pieplant, as it
is otherwise called, make little go a
good way in most households, for after
two or three cuttings the plants are
usually abandoned and allowed to go
to seed. This is all wrong. A good
variety Of rhubarb is worthy of being
eaten the year around. Instead OF
keeping on with the poor kind, send
for a package of rhubarb seed of one
Of the improved sorts, such as Myatt's
Victoria, and SOW 1t in garden row.
The plants will come from seed as read
lily as carrots or beets and mostly true
to their kind, and the second season
cuttings can be made freely. Cut off
seed stalks as they appear and keep
the ground free from weeds and well
cultivated. If the rhubarb is given a
garden row. this cultivation will come
in with the regular garden cultivation
and will give no trouble. Many farm
ers' families do not appear to realize
that rhubarb can be had in winter as
wei. as summer Cooked, as for sauce
either Sweetened or unsweetened, and
sealed in glass jars, it will keep per-
fectly. and will be greatly relished in
the middle of Observation-Disclosures.

A Color Test on a Large Scale.


A color test on a large scale occurred
recently near Geseke, Germany. The
Volmede, the Waid, and the Heder are
three brooks which have their source
near Geseke, and according to tradition
their waters had subterraneous connec-
tions with the Alme, a mountain stream
whose bed is some five miles distant.
Millers located on the lower Alme
dumped refuse in certain eddies of the
upper stream, and the millers on the
Volmede, the Waid. and the Heder
claimed that by doing this the water
supply of the latter streams was ma
terially diminished To determine this
connection, about four pounds of pot
assium fuorescinate was dumped into
one of the eddies five miles from the
source Of the Heder. This substance
is marvelously powerful, and solu-
ton containing one part in ten million
shows a distinct fuorescence in trans
mitted light. twenty-five hours later
the Heder took on a beautiful dark
green color, showing conclusively the
connection between the two streams.
An experiment at another point show
ed with equal clearness that there was
a subterraneous connection between
Alme and the Waid and the Volmede,
though in this case forty-four hours
had elapsed between the depositing Of
the dye-stuff in the Alme and the ap-
pearance of the coloration in the other
streams.

Leghorns for Eggs.

For eggs nothing will equal Leg
horn, so it would be best to select Il
White Leghorn cockerel for the year
lings and White Leghorn cock for the
pullets. When the chicks are two days
old, take pair of scissors and snip off
their wing on one side at the first joint.
so as to remove all flight feathers, and
they will never bother you by flying
and can be kept within two and a-half
foot fence. This must be done at night
by lamplight, so that the other chicks
will not pick at the single drop of blood
that forms. By morning these are heal
ed and the chicks as lively as crickets
No bad effect is noticeable, and in the
future the Leghorns are no more trou-
bic than any Brahmas. Leghorns can
be put in pens of fifteen to twenty hens
to one cock, according to the yigor of
the cock. The best capons are made
from any of the heavy breeds. None
Of the smaller breeds is worth bother
ing with.-Germantown Telegraph.

Prince Constantine must be having a
hard time of it If he cannot even set
out to take his own life without being
forced to beat a retreat. 1t is reported
that "he wanted to blow out his brains,
but his officers refused to permit him. >
Apparently he consulted his officers
on the important question first. The
Prince is literally supplied with death
dealing instruments, and it was posi-
BILE for him to take a mean advantage
of his suite and destroy himself before
his officers could know of his purpose.
But being a confiding Prince he seems
to have broached the matter as an af-,
fair of state, and he must have been
deeply humiliated to find that his Off
GERS differed with him radically as to
the wisdom Of his policy. But fortu-
nately the Prince is not an obstinate
son of the monarch and gave way to
the persuasive eloquence of his attend
ants. He is thus able to 'live to fight
another day."
