COST OF ELECTIONS.
The City VIII Have to Hand Out BE-
tween 81 900 and $4,000.

The bill for the payment of the rent of
the places for the city registration has
been passed by council, and the property
owners whose places were used for this
purpose can now call on the city treas
urer for their money.
The amount of rent to be paid by the
city for these places is $2O4, or an aver
age of 5000 each. The pay of the regis
trars was $500, and what with printing
and stationery, extra clerk hire and other
expenses, the cost of registration is al
ready pretty well on towards 5000. The
election will add about $500 more.

sold out for over a million each. Fully
half the population walked hundreds
of miles to get there. No railroad ran
through Southern Arizona in those
days, and the awful Colorado and Mo
lave deserts had to be crossed in
wagons or on foot by the multitudes
of fortune seekers from California.
Desert sand storms were encountered,

through immense cactus areas, and
land of the Apache Indians. For miles
and miles the travellers were without
water, for there were no wells, rivers
or springs and many a man, with his
family and horses, died of thirst But
hardship, pain, suffering and risk of
life were all secondary to an early ar
rival in Tombstone and the location
of a mining claim. When Tombstone
was reached there were new privations
and more physical distress for the
greater number, especially for those
who had fastened from offices, stores,
shops, clerkships and the pastors
study. Over one-third of the men in
camp had very little money, or none
at all, and knew no way of earning
it except by the hardest kind Of man
ual labor to which they were unused.
1t cost 81 a night to sleep in a dirty,
rough pine bunk. Water sold at 20
cents a gallon, small dish of beans

smoked hams at $12 each, and cowhide
boots were disposed of as fast as they
could be hauled to camp across the
desert from Los Angeles and Yuma
for $35 a pair. 1t was a ground hog
case with these commodities for the
first ten months Of Tombstone-take
them at the price asked or go without.
In 1881 all the Tombstone mines that
paid we'll were in the hands Of a few
persons, and the population of the
place had gone down to 5000. In 1883
the mines, with two exceptions, began
to peter out, and the population
dropped to 5000. Since then it has
gone down slowly to less than 1000

Coal Period Trees.

The approach from the south to La
Grange, Ala, is marked by the fine
view into the valley of the Tennessee
River 300 or 400 feet below, which it
presents, and by the masses of sand
stone lying around the village. where
it has been precipitated from the cliffs
above by the wearing away Of the lime
stone under them. But the most inter
esting and remarkable feature of the
locality, says Henry McCalley in his
geological report Of the valley region,
and the one for which La Grange will
always be distinguished, notes Popular
Science Monthly, is the profusion Of
the remains of fossil plants Nowhere
can one gain better ideas of the mag
niffcence of the flora of the coal period
than at this place. Trunks of lepido-
dendrom two or three feet in dame

debris of the sandstone. These trunks
have in general preserved their form

they show that they stood erect in the

had the cub, or the cub had him, or both
held each other Some of the men seiz-
ed the snake, while others took hold of
the forelegs Of the cub and tried to pull
him out by main strength. But he
would not come. On the contrary, he
showed a tendency to slip further in.
The men saw that it was a case of the
life of the cub or the snake, and as lions
are worth more than boas they quickly
decided which should be sacrificed. One
of them got knife and cut the snake
in two With a single sweep of it. Then
the cub was eXtricated not much the
worse for spending a short season in a
snakes stomach. The boa usually
winds himself about its victims, and
crushes their bones before swallowing
them, but this one was in hurry, and
omitted this preliminary. That was
where he made a mistake. Had he done
so his life would have been spared on
the theory that live boa is better than
4 dead lion.

The operation of the postal savings
bank system of Great Britain is of
great benefit to the people of that coun-
try. Too much stress cannot be laid
on the Importance of such n system in
developing habits of thrift in the young.
Much significance attaches to the fact
that so many of the depositors are chill
dren. If the youth of the present can
be taught the value of money and in
duced to save, the number of spend
thrifts will be remarkably less in the
next generation, and poverty and want
will be far less prevalent. Postal saw
ings banks have done much to allay
discomfort in England and to render
government more stable. Why should
this country do less to promote the well
fare of it's people and increase their in
terest in the maintenance and well-be-
ing of the Government? In Great
Britain the sums standing to the credit
of depositors in the postoffice bank
amount to nearly $500,00O,000. In this
country, with its larger population, the
deposits in a few years in a postal saw
ings bank doubtless would be large
enough to absorb the entire national
debt. How much better the people of
this country would feel about it if the
interest ON the national debt were going
to the small savings depositOrs instead
of to large money holders, considera-

Trials of Pioneer Miners.

The rush of gold-hungry men to the
Yukon has revived recollections of ia =

The first great excitement, of course,
followed the discovery of gold in Cali
fornia and many stories of suffering
and death are mingled with the tales
of fabulous wealth. But there have
been other and far more thrilling
crazes. These came when the news was
brought to the almost exhausted gold
fields of California that great discOv-
cries had been made elsewhere and
the miners set out to find the new
riches.
Probably the widest stampede ever
known in the southwest was that to
the Rocky Belle camp in northern
Arizona, in the region Of the Moqui In
dian reservation, in December, 1874.
The region is 5000 feet above the sea
and lies among snow clad mountains.

Antidote Tor Snake Poisoning.

1t is very noteworthy that many ma
tions. races and castles lowest In civili-
zation have for a long time protected
themselves against poisoning from
snake bites by method which never
until the present time, the twentieth
century, has been discovered by Euro
pean scientists. The races OF Psyller
in Africa, Morser in Italy and Guner In
India ages ago possessed means to
insure themselves against poisoning
from snake bites, and to-day there are
people who are not harmed by snake
poison, if we may believe the descrip-
tions of travellers. Such are the ne
groes ON the Guinea coasts, the race Oh
Eisower in Barbary, some fak1rs ana
snake charmers in India, the inhaD-
itants of Mozambique and some kaf-
frs In South Africa. The means USED
by all these people to secure immunity
from snake venom consist In taking as
medicine the venom, either fresh or
dried, from the venom glands or
snakes. The majority eat the venom,
but in Mozambique the same result Is
gained by inoculating with 1t. That
these people really do make themselves
proof against snake bites in this way
seems to be sure beyond doubt.
Although this method was made
known long ago in Europe by travellers,
nobody seemed to take any notice of 1t
until the experiments Of Pasteur and
his school had demonstrated the posi-
bility of utilizing it. Then scholars be-
gan to study the effects on animals or
feeding snake venom and of inoculating
with it, and to convert into scientific
capital the avowals Of these fakirs,
Katfirs, etc-Chautauquan.
