Savings Banks for Schools.

Plttsburg Times: The Pittsburg
Bank for Savings has issued u little
ieafiet on the subject Of savings banks
In schools, and the matter presented is
worthy OF reading. One great fault
with the American people is the want
OF economy. Money received on pay
day is parted with unsystematically,
but completely, before the next sum is
due, and in a large number of Amer
lean homes where thrift should reign
aud "a tidy sum should always be on
hand there is a continual and needless
struggle To pay the bills that are reg
ularly coming due. The chief idea Of
"a school savings bank is not the az
cumulation Of money by the childish
patron, but TO acquire the habits OF
economy that are thus taught.
in matters OF money the average
man and wofnan are children. They
have a dollar, and they see something
that it will buy. The dollar goes. The
prudent way Of getting value for that
dollar would he 10 weigh the adyau-
tages Of the many things that dollar
would buy and to select the most vaiu-
able one. Money is worth what it Will
bring. If next week il viii bring
something of more value than what il
will bring today there is profit IN wait
ing until next week before parting
with il. II the school savings bank can
impress this upon the mind of the
child n benefit greater than imagined
will be conferred. The child who learns
the use Of money and 10 keep his mon
ey until he gets value for il is the most
useful citizen, other things being
equal. He is always a reserve force.
and when panic comes il is he who
supplies the power hat tides over.
We're all people thrifty there would be
no serious pauics and no great amount
of destitution.

Her Subscription.

At the time of a passing rebellion in
Ireland, known as Smith O'Brien's, the
region where Frances Power Cobbe
lived and worked among the poor was
transformed, as she says, into a little
Hecla; not under snow but mud. Cluls
were formed for the purpose OF buying
pixies, To be used whenever the leaders
al Dublin should call for an insurrec-
ton. The result was as harmless as
the bursting of a bubble. bat meantime
there had been real danger for all land
ed proprietors. whose DOWNFALL had
been determined upon. One incident
related by Miss Cobbe shows her inno-
cent participation in the rebellion. She
says:

Arizonans can well feel proud of the achievement of companies A. B. and C., rough riders, at the bat tie of La Quasina. Although ann pushed by superior force of en- trenched Spaniards they won a glorious victory. The boys fought like tigers. Their impetoous charge was irri ,istable, the Spanish being driven back to the gates of Santi. ago. The loss in the two cavalry companies was about fifteen killed and fifty wounded. Spanish loss seventy-seven killed and eighty wounded.

The miners of the districts to

The miners of the districts to the north of Kingman offer strong ob- jections to the operation of the road tax law. They claim that hundreds of dollars has been collected with no corresponding benefit. Although the mining interest has used every indeavor to have the road over Coyote mountain remodeled noth- ing whatever has been done. No objection would be made to the pay ment of tax if any return whatever was given in roadwork on the mountain or elsewhere. For dis. tance of nearly two miles over the mountain only two turnouts for big teams have been made. The old bridge is still in the same danger ous condition and no effort what eyer has been made to remedy it. Taken all in all the kick of the miners and mine owners is a sub- stantial one.

It appears to us that the state ment that the sugar trust is op. posed to the annexation of Hawaii is all bosh. The sugar trust has under control the total saccharine product of the islands and ought to be as fully in control of the market as at present. It should also be taken into account that a duty has to be paid on imported sugar, which will be obviated in the case of Ha- waii by the annexation of the is- lands. Sugar trust attorneys ap- pear to be opposing annexation, but for what reason we fail to compre. hend.

Mohave shows more mining {

Mohave shows more mining ac- tivity at present than any other county in Arizona. Mining com panies are pushing development work with vigor and big bodies of shipping ore is being blocked out. The White Hills Company will soon be running the full capacity of forty stamps. Several ten stamp gold mills will also be running within a month. The Tennessee company are preparing to put in a one-hundred ton concentrating plant to clean Tennessee ores of gangue and other extraneous mat ter. More mines are being worked below ground than ever before in the county's history and excellent grades of ore is being sent to mar ket. Mohave county is wonderfully rich in ali the minerals and ought to be working ten men where only one is working now.

Trees and Men.

A single tree, according to compu-
tation in knowledge, is able, through
its leaves, to purify the air from the
carbonic acid arising from the respira-
ton Of considerable number of men,
perhaps dozen or even score. The
volume of carbonic acid exhaled by a
human being in twenty-four hours is
put at about 100 gallons; but by
Boussingault's estimate, single
square yard of leaf-surface, counting
both the upper and under sides of the
leaves, can, under favorable circum-
stances, decompose at least a gallon
Of carbonic acid in day. One hun
drcd square yards of leaf-surface then
would suffice to keep the air pure for
one man, but the leaves of tree of
moderate size present surface of
many hundred square yards.

Insisted on Her Rights.

The Duchess of Aosta, who is close
ly related to the King Of Italy, is a
woman with distinct mind of her
own. When she first began to cycle
the king gave orders that she should
not be saluted by sentry as she rode
by on her wheel. Obedient to the
royal command, the first sentry ig.
nored her presence, whereupon the
duchess quietly dismeunted and boxed
the mans ears. Now, however, the
omnipotent cycle rules the court of
Italy, just as it does all the other
courts in the world, and the sentry
salutes the royal family as it goes
wheeling by.
