Biushing May BE Hereditary.

ly hereditary, and in cases where pc.
culiar kinds Of blushing are observed
a family history of the same habit may
be obtained.
All voluntary actions are controlled
by the brain. If u mar drinks one
glass too much, or smokes one cigar
too much. the brain is responsible,
but blushing is involuntary. 1t is
not even affected by the spinal cord.
1t is part of the work of the sympa-

are huge masses OF nerve cells in front
of the spine. These centers control

such I scarcity of farm hands in Ger

porting Chinese coolies in hordes for
field work in Silesia, East Prussia,
Posen and Pomerania, says the Chi
cago News. The coolies work for
twenty cents a day, and the land own
ers are enthusiastic, with the result
that many Germans who have hitherto
refused to emigrate are being forced
to do so through lack of work. When

Physicians and scientists agree that
hot or fresh bread is much more midi
gestlble than old bread, declares the
American Farmer. In Germany there
is a law that no bread must be sold be.
fore it is a day old. The Americans
are credited with making the worst
bread in all the world, anyway, and,
besides, they consume an inordinate
quantity Of hot bread, and on the
bread question generally, seem to be
below the average in civilization. The
American bread is soggy and heavy,
and has too little crust to be truly
h%ygienic, and, furthermore, the fine
white flour has lost much of its nutri.
tive value. All that goes to make
teeth and bone aud to build up u fine
system is bolted from the

tails of the census Of 1895, Just made
public, 5i7,3S5 families, OF $500, 1873

is no recollection of the past involved
in the process. Spencer is one more

In his letter to the Secretary of the
university Spencer said that he had
been informed that he had once been
q member of the freshmen class and
he wished to know if he could re.enter

came that he could, and two weeks

But the most ridiculous thing is arresting me for not paying city license. I went into business in October, and you know the license quarter begins in August. They came around and wanted me to pay for the whole quarter when there was onl y about two weeks more of it left. If they had their way about it they'd get the whole calendar mixed up and wouldn't know August from October. Then the collector, he came around again after the beginning of the new quar- ter, November 1, but I wasn't in business no longer. l says, 'Why, my goodness, man, l hain't sold no goods for a week. Can't you see there hain't nothing here to selli' But he says, says he, What are you doin' with your sign out thereP Says I, I don't have to pay no license on a sign. There's nothing in your license ordinance about signs. That signs out there for sp- pearance.' Well, says he, I'll just pull you for appearance
 And, by jolly, he did. He took me down to the city hall and they fined me Sl5. I've lived in a good many places, but Phenix is the first place I eyer saw where they make a man pay 8 license for doing busi ness and fine him for going out of it.

One Hundrod COnEIcts Co Dc Set to Work
 Monday.
 Governor McCord and wife re- turned this morning from Yuma. The governor said that the citizens of Yuma are looking forward to a bright future upon the completion of the big canal. He said that a force of forty convicts are now en- ployed on the canal, and that he has made arrangements to put 100 more to work next Monday.
 A large tent has been provided, which will be used to house the men at night. Only two guides will be necessary, one at each end of the tent.
 You would be surprised" said the Governor, "to know how eager the convicts are to work. When called at the prison they begged me to let them work on the canal. Those who are at present employed on the canal work with a vim. They are used kindlyhave plenty to eat and while employed are in a more con- tented spirit than when penned up in the prison. Another inducement for the convicts to work on the ca nal is that for every three days they are employed on the canal they are allowed four days time on their sen tence.
 "One mile of the canal is com pleted and there are yet twelve miles more of the smaller canal to com plete. When this is done work will at once commence on the large or main canal."-Pheni1 Herald.

Ss TidinEs from Geo. herwfn ard nEs Party Causes Insasinss. among
 ThetF Frienda.

ThetF FFisBdS. Considerable uneasiness Is being manifested oveL the failure to hearof Geo. MerwiD, Gus kreiizbaunn and Tom Turner, who left Prescott on July l6 for the Klondike country. The last news received from them was letter dated August D when they were about four or five miles out from Dyea, oR the Chilcoot pass trail. They had engaged to have their supplies packed over Chilcoot pass and expected so make the trip over the summit the fol- lowing day. At this time the party was all we'll and in good spirits and expected to reach Dawson not later than September 1. They stated that they would write immediately on their arrival there, but not a word has been received. A mail carrier, who left Dawson in Oct o5er. arrived at Dyea last week, The mail reaching Seattle on Sunday, November 2s. Had there been auy letters from them out by that mail, they should have rescked Prescott not later than last night. The party had an excellent outfit, aud were we'll supplied with provisions and, unless some mishsp occurred to them, should have made the trip in safety, and would certainly have written on their arrival there. The only possible explanation of the failure to hear from them, aside from the possibility of an accident having befallen them, is, that they may not have gone direct to Daw son, but may have been diverted to some other place while enroute.
