to looking after the patients. He wrote

them information as to his condition.
This course was one of great satisfac-

friends. He said that the soldiers had
spoken in the highest terms OF their
treatment at the hospital. Being asked
what complaints if any he had heard
from patients about their treatment he
said that he had heard none whatever
from soldiers of the regular army, but
that a number Of the volunteer soldiers
had told him Of disagreeable expert
ences which were often answered by u
soldier or the next cot by the question:
Did you think you were going to a

Drunk on Smoking.

Moslems arc forbidden to drink wines
or spirits, but in Tunis they contrive TO
reach the same ends by smoking prepa-
rations of hemp flowers The milder
kind is called kif, and if used in modcr-
alton has no more effect than wine, but
the concentrated essence, known as
chira, produces intoxication as quickly
us raw spirits and leads to delirium
tremens.

GENERAL TRADE IS QUIET.
Staple Articles Are Steady in Price and
Distribution Is Larger.

New York. Nov. 5.-Bradstreet's says:
Further quietins down of new business
in iron and steel; the relapse into dull
ness, though at steady prices, of wheat
consequent upon the withdrawal of the
excited foreign demand, and some slight
increase of quiet in general trade as 4
result of the approach of the elections,
are all features calling for special men
ton this week Among the more &C
lively Favorable features are the price
steadiness displayed by most staple ar
ticles and the enlarged distribution of
staple goods at many western and
southern markets.
Confirmatory of the quite favorable
reports as to general trade during Oc-
toEcr are the returns of bank clearings
for that month, end scattered reports
as 20 the increased business doing at
mary Centers in that month as CON-
pared with one year ago. New business
in iron and steel has been lighter than
for weeks past. Export trade, however,
is large and increasing. Important
negotiations touching future prices OF
steel rails are now In progress, and
some reports are that an important
consolidation. or at least control of
prices and output, has been practically
agreed upon.

NEW WEATHER STATION.
Flagstaff Has Local Observer, Who Will
 Make Daily Record of the Weather.

Mdke q Ddhy Neeoro oI tne Wedtner
 w. T. Blythe, recently director of the Arizona Weather Service. has com pleted the installing of Mrs. E. l.. Renoe as weather observer at the new station at this place.
 The instruments have all been placed in position and tested and are all in working order, and the weather report from Flagstaff will shortly appear in all the daily papers in the Union.
 The weather station is located in the Milligan brick cOtta ,e. corner of Aspen street and Park avenue. All the Ob- servatiOns taken at other stations will be taken here, that is, temperature, humidity. atmospheric pressure. rela- tive sunshine, direction and velocity of the wind, etc. Reports will be tel | egraphed 10 San Francisco twice daily and all data will be sent to the central office at Washington.
 Mrs. Renoe is the widow Of Milton Rehoe who was for years engaged in the service of the weather bureau. He died in Cheyenne, Wyo., last Decem- Der. Mr. Blytha who has been in Ar. izona for q number of years and has spent his lifetime in the weather ser- vice, leaves in few days for Vicks- burg, Miss. where he will have charge of the Weather Bureau of that state. Mrs. Blythe, who is here with him, will accompany him.
 The establishment of the Flagstaff office is a step forward in the Arizona weather service and it will be only matter of time until a forecast of the weather will be issued each day for Arizona as it is issued in nearly every state and territory. Every weather ! observer on the Pacific coast is inter- Ns,ted in the work of the Flagstaff sta tion, as it is one of the highest stations

TWO LIVES LOST.
At Fire in Prescott on Last Wednesday
 Morning.

Prescott, Ariz.. Sept. "A disastrous fire occurred this morning which cost he lives of Mrs. Judge H. T. Andrews aud servant girl named Celia Nysen. About three o'clock F. $. Davis, occu- pying the house owned by J. M. Ait zen, was awakened by dog and found he house enveloped in flames and es- capped partly dressed in his bare feet. He gave the alarm and awakened the family of Judge Andrews in the next. house. The fire department responded promptly, but the water lacked force and the fire gained rapidly. Nearly all he household effects in the Andrews house were saved but the house. also he house and contents in which Davis lived were totally destroyed. Dr. F.. w. Butcher and James Austin, who were assisting in moving the goods from the Andrews house. were both se- verely burned about the head and face Dr. Butcher sustained fracture of the
 
 ipstep and dislocatiOn of the ankle. ID, A. Burke. one of the proprietors ot the hotel Burke. nearly lost his life endeav- bring to rescue Mrs. Andrews and the servant whom he discovered as he was leaving the building, but finally lost them and was compelled to jump for his life. Those in front were unwilling to believe any one was left in the house, as both Mrs. Andrews and the servant had been seen outside the house, but apparently both went in unobserved for something forgotten. Mrs. Andrews leaves a husband and two children, girl aged and a baby. Both bodies were found ip the front stairway terri bly burned.

Tares of the Bible.

A circular just issued by the United
States department of agriculture is de-
voted to "The Cultivated Vetches."
Perhaps every one doesn't know what
a vetch is. The plants described in the
departments circular are all natives OF
the old world, and among them are the
"hairy vetch," or sand vetch,' the
spring vetch," or 'tares," the winter
vetch," and the kidney vetch."
Tares have been cultivated in Europe
for upward Of twenty centuries. They
were cultivated by the Romans and es-
teemed by them as a valuable fodder
crop. The result of their introduction
into the United States, however, mas
been satisfactory. and it has been found
that covers and field peas render better
results.
The kidney vetch has not given good
results. The winter vetch mas proved
of value In the Southern States, but the
hairy vetch has given the best results Of
all, and the circular says that it is lone
of the most promising fodder crops
which have been brought into the Uni
ted States in recent years, and by some
is considered especially valuable for
light, sandy soils. New York Sun.

Scientific Sport with Kittens.

At recent meeting Of the New York
Academy of Sciences, Mr.. Thorndike,
Of Columbia University. described his
experiments on comparative psycbol-
ogy, in which kittens, dogs, chickens
and monkeys played part. One object
was to ascertain in what manner and
how rapidly animals learned tricks. A
box was provided with a door that
could be opened from the inside by
means of a latch, or by pulling cord,
or turning a button. Kittens were
placed inside the box, and t0othsome
fish outside. The time taken to get out
became gradually shorter, but MIR.
Thorndike said the trick was always
learned by accident. One lucky hit
would prepare the way for another. He
could see no trace of rational inference
on the animals part. 1t was not possi-
BILE to teach the trick by taking the kit
tens paw and pushing the latch, and
seeing another animal do the trick
a hundred times was no help to the one
that had not already learned it.

u,.v s,oru. or M.nv Co,or.

Colored snow storms were recorded
as long ago as the sixth century, and a
shower Of red hail is said by Humboldt
to have once occurred in Palermo. In
Tuscany, on March IA, 1913, there fell
hail Of an orange color. In 1903 red
snow fell to a depth of over five feet in
Carniola, Germany. The storm Of col
ored snow was followed by one Of the
regulation color, and the effect pro-
duced by the separate layers Of red
and white, which were perfectly dis
tinct, was very peculiar. A portion OF
the scarlet snow was melted in vessel
and the water evaporated, when fine,
rose-colored, earthly sediment was
found at the bottom. Snow of brick
red hue fell in Italy in 1916, and in the
Tyrol in 1917. In the first volume OF
Kane's Arctic Exploration it is stated
that when the ship passed the Grim
son Cliffs of Sir John Ross" the patches
Of red snow, from which they derive
their name. could be seen at distance
of fully ten miles-Saturday Evening

Let the PcOD1e Buy Bonds.

A New York bank president is quoted
as saying that the government could
readily obtain from the great financial
interests of the country all the funds
1t needed if bonds were issued. This is
true, no doubt. But the biggest finan-
cial interests Of this continent are the
interests of the masses of American
citizens who create the wealth of the
nation. They are the ones who should
first be considered if bonds are put on
the market. If these Government Sc
curities, backed by the superb credit
of the United States, are excellent in
vestments for the bankers, they are
equally good investments for the wage
earners and the farmers. 1t is the peo-
pie who fight the battles and pay the
taxes of the Government. They are
entitled to the foremost chance when
bonds are to be sold.-Philadelphia Bull
letin.

DemOcratiC Gains.

The spring elections continue to re
suit favorably. The disreputable per-
formances of the Republican Congress
men at Washington, the vacillation OF
President Mckinley, and the prospect
that Banker Gage, with Grosyenor,
Dingley, and the rest, will hatch up
some national bank finance schedule
which will rob the people by means OF
taxes and bank issues to pay interest
on large sums of borrowed money,
have diSheartened the Republican
masses. Everywhere there is Demo-
cratic gain. Chicago has been swept
as by a tornado, and the reform ele-
ment there has encountered a defeat
similar to that which it experienced
here in New York. The group of Ohio
cities has gone back on the Republi-
cans. Cincinnati, which gave nearly
10000 majority for Mckinley, has been
carried by the Democrats by 1000 ma
jority. The same change is to be found
in the returns from Columbus, Cleve-
land, Dayton and Toledo. Milwaukee
is to have a silver Democratic Mayor.
The general disappointment at the
non-arrival Of the promised Mckinley
era of prosperity has disgusted the peo-
pie, and has started them upon the
road Of reversing the fraud Of 1896

QUEER PEOPLE IN AUSTRALIA.
Race Little Superior to Animals Fohnd
in the Interior.

Race Little Superior to Animate Fosnd
in the Interior.
David W. Carnegie, son of the eall OF
Southesk, has returned to England,
after thirteen months journey across
the Great Victoria and Great Sandy des-
erts of Western Australia. During his
travels, which were from the south to
the north Of the colony, Mr.. Carnegie
traversed nearly 5000 miles of I'M
mapped and unexplored desert in the
interior of Western Australia. Speak
ing of his journey, Mr.. Carnegie said:
"In the interior we met very small
tribes of wandering blacks. They are
nomadic. and this may be explained by
the fact that their wells soon became
exhausted, and they have always to be
on the move in order to obtain water.
Their method of hunting, too, causes
them to be always moving. They set
light to a tract Of spinifex and then sur
round the burning bush and throw
sticks and spears at the lizards and rats
that try to escape. Naturally In very
short time the country gets burnt up.
1.-The people are very dark, and add
to their blackness by smearing them
selves with grease and ashes, fact
which makes their presence known at
a considerable distance. They are very
ugly-more like monkeys than anything
else. with their fiat foreheads and pro-
truding lips. AS rule they are very
thin and of small stature-on two oc-
casions only l saw men upward OF six
feet in height. Men. women and chill
dren are all stark naked. They make
no houses and have no villages. They
simply SCOOP out hole in the sand and
squat in it. When they first saw our
camels and caravan they were greatly
excited, never having seen white man
before. We never suffered any hurt
from them. but when any of them got
us alone they tried to be nasty, and no
doubt would have proved troublesome
if they had been given much oppor-
tunity. They are only one degree re-
moved from animals.
at was only from the smoke caused
by their hunting fires that we were able
to track them, and so find water. After
following their smoke we would sud
denly come upon an encampment OF
them crouching in their holes, with
their their spare weapons hung up In
the few surrounding parched-up trees.
