 While We fully realize the sorry spectacle of a father or brother wandering along the public highway in a drunken condition, yet no one can tell what caused the old man to resort to this condition to drown his sorrows, hence We think ir is no laughing matter to witness a auman being in such a terrible condition. Then do not laugh at a drunken man walking through the streets, however ludicrous the sight may be; just stop to think. He is going home to some tender heart that will throb with intense agony; some dot ing mother will grieve over the downfall of her once sinless boy; or it may be a fond wife, whose heart will almost break with grief as she views the destruction of her idol; or 1t may be loving sister, who will shed bitter tears at the degradation of her brother, shorn of his lnanli- ness and self respect. Rather drop a tear in silent sympathy with those hearts so keenly sensitive and tender, yet so proud and loyal that they cannot accept sympathy rendered them either in word or look, al- though it may fall upon their wounded hearts as refreshingly as the summer dew Un the withered plants.-Gazette.

On the Prouupstas.o, of P.Uv.

The Hon Walter Pepys has collected
 IT varieties of the spelling of the Hane
 and be lays some stress upon the French form Pepy as authority for the pronRn- citation favored by him Peeps seems to follow the usual practice, as Weems for Wemys, and, moreover, it is that adopt ed by the descendants of the diarist's sister Paulina. the family of Pepys Cockerell Peeps is also the traditional pronunciation adopted at Cambridge
 Here is. l think. strong evidence in ia yor of Peeps At the same time 1 believe that in this name. as in other words, the pronunciation of the vowel has changed since the seventeenth century, and that the name in Pepys' own day was actually pronounced Papes This opinion is grounded on the phonetic spelling Peaps and Peyps which have come down to us, and both these would Papes; ea-a. as in yea break, great; ey-a. as in obey and they.

The White Whale. Tail.

Looking at the white whale at tn. aquarium a person not familiar witt water animals might be mildly aston ished to see that creature lean outward when swimming around in a circle, instead of inward. Seeking the cause of this, the observer unfamiliar with whales would discover that the whales tail is set not in a vertical plane as is the case of fishes, but in a horizontal plane.
 Set horizontally instead of vertically, the whales tail is of the very greatest assistance to it in diving, and especially in rising promptly to the surface. which it is necessary for it to do at intervals to i'll its lungs with air.
 Going over again to the wall tanks, the observer may note again, aud this time with a new interest. that all the fishes there have tails up and down, in line with the body, in a vertical plane, and he learns upon inquiry that all fishes have tails in vertical plane, and that all aquatic mammals, of which the whale is one, have tails set exactly ii. other way, in horizontal plano.

The colored preacher who visited friends in Nashville, Tennesse, du- ring the recent centennial, beng asked at dinner what part of the fowl he preferred, replied very sig ni6cantly: "I nebber has my chicken cut up in parts, Mr. Jobnsing" voiced the sentiments of many people who go to the theater to witness a play that IS advertised as "The Original" They want the whole thing. No cuts. 10 omissions, no parts, but the entire original play. Such is the idea in the coming revival of the original Swedish-American comedy, "Oie Olson" It comes not only in its entire original text, but has near ly all the original cast and the orig inal feature that has been the talk of the country, the great bicycle race, an event which for originality of conception, completeness in con struction and effectiveness in preser- yation has no equal today before tue public.

Curlou. Frral.. of Ra.or..

The finest grades of razors are so del icate that even the famous Damascus sword blades cannot equal them in tex tare. It is not generally known that the grain of a Swedish razor Is % sensitive that its general direction is changed after a short service.
 When you buy fine razor, the grains run from the upper end of the outer point in diagonal direction toward the handle Constant stropping will twist the steel until lhe grain appears to be straight up and down. Subsequent use will drag the grain outward from the edge, so that after steady use for several months the fiber of the steel occupies a position exactly the reverte of that which it did on the day of purchase.
 The process also affects the temper of the blade. and when the grain sets from the lower outer points toward the back you have a razor which cannot be kept in condition even by the most conscien- tious barber.
 But bere's another curious freak that will take place in the same tool:
 If you leave the raEor alone for month or two and take it up. you will find that the grain has assumed its first position. The operation can be repeated until the steel is worn through to the back.-Strand Magazine.

 These officers are to have the same powers as such officers now hold. All other territorial officers are 10 be appointed by the governor by and with the consent of the teI- ritorial council. The salaries and compensation of these officers shall be paid at the time and in .he man ner prescribed by law. At present the governor and secretary are ap- pointed by the president of the United States and confirmed by the senate.

hIYron H. MeCorti.

The recen public utterances of the Hon M. H. McCord serve to to place the governor in an enviable light as au orator and one of tbe few men in public life who has the happy faculty of fuently displaying a comprehensive grasp of the social, economic, educational and indus trial problems of the times.
 His recent address at the uuiver- rity upon the installation of Presi- dent Parker, was the spontaneous effort of a cultured, clever, and penetrating student of conditions. Ibe remark
 Nine times out of ten a person lacking energy, integrity of purpose and character, and industry, is bet ter of without an education"
 Strikes vital spot in our system of public schools and compulsory education, and marks Myron H. McCord a man with hardihood enough to voice his convictions.
 In these these days of practical politics" professional politicians ana political thrift, 1t is refreshing to find a man in office sufficiently courageous to utter self evident truths even at the peril of antagoniz- ing the fsidists.
 The News merely makes these re- marks in jastics to Gov. MeCord who has been held up to the scorn and deri,ion of the public by cer- tain partisan newspapers. He has been represented as illiterate, un- empty headed, vicious and totally unfit for the place. His re- cent speeches refute the first three charges, and 1t remains with the governor himself to so conduct his term of office as to show the false hood of the latter.
 Mr. McCOrd IS a republican, and as such represents a party and a system at variance with the views oI the NsGs, We never can endorse him But the republicans were the vIctors at the polls last and our governor is ope of the results of that victory. Per soDaily the News has no complaint agalnst him. We believe he is con- 'cientiously doing his little republi- ,an best for Anzona, and while We believe a democrat at Phenix as well IS at Washington is necessary for he salvation of Arizona, still We 'aY, strong power to any arm that 5 pushing us ahead" - Jerome News.
