AGAINST spiritous LIQUORS,

The National officers of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union have for
warded to the exposition authorities at
Omaha, Neb., an earnest protest against
the sale of spirituous liquors on the expo
sition grounds. They express the hearty
accord of the white-ribbon organization
with such movements as the Transconti-

this particular branch of so-called industry
does not deserve recognition at your hands,
and beg that you will heed our protest 'fcr

ish and Portuguese ladies, who decline to have anything at all to do with them, while the mestizos scorning the na- tives, are cast upon their own resources for companionship.
 Some of the mestizos are quite poor, and hosts of the women work in the cigar and cigarette factories of Manila, where many a sprightly Carmen has caused the hearts of the impressionable imported chivalry of Spain to flutter violently.
 The beauty of the native half caste women is in their great, 1ustrous. long dashed eyes, their pearly teeth, graceful figures and masses of silky blue black hair. They are, with the exception of the Negritos, who occupy the fastnesses of the mountains, of Malaysian blood, but of different tribes.
 The native women array themselves in the most gorgeous colors. The upper part of the body is clad in a white loose sleeved garment. A gayly striped cloth called the saya falls in folds from the waist. Over this is swathed a dark shawl called the tapis, which falls about as far as the knees. The poorer the fam- fly, of course, the simpler the garments, that of many being merely a short skirt and a very abbreviated bodice. It is only the very well to do that can afford the soft homemade material woven from the fibers of the pineapple and. the Asnana- and which is much prettier and

I quite urie derstand now what is meant when peps pie say ''as sick as dog," for the ex- pression on a dogs face when he is sick is heartbreaking. He looks at you and makes a great effort to tell you where the pain is placed, while he sends forth howls that signify the kind of medicines he deserves. Generalizing, he doesn't care much for castor oil. It re- quires three persons of great strength to administer a dose of this oily mixa ture to him. One holds his head back and his mouth open, the other holds his nose so that he cannot sniff it out, while the third person, brave creature, pokes in the spoon which contains the limpid liquid and then quickly shuts his mouth, so that to get his breath 1t becomes necessary for him to swallow the healthy stuff or die. Usually he takes the medicine, but afterward he looks.at you with an aggrieved air and all day long he walks around saying In his own dog fashion, 'I wouldn't have thought this of you" until you are ashamed.
 There are some things to be ashamed of, but giving dog nice, healthy, smooth dose of oil isn't one of them ;

I would be ashamed to kick a dog who was guiltless of crime. would be ashamed to kick a dog whose only de- sire was to offer me his paw, meaning to be friendly and showing it by a greeting like that.
 I would be ashamed to kick a dog at all or under any circumstances. He cant kick back, though sometimes when I look straight in his eyes it seems to me that dogs remember, and I am specially made to think of this when there comes to me the story of the healthy man who had been a con vict and who had a mark on his leg where the chain had been. One day he beat a dog. The dog bit him on the leg and saw the mark, and from that day the brute had mastered him, the inno- cent beast that he had beaten simply because it gave him pleasure to do so.
 A dog is nice thing around a house. He has a pleasant way, although when he meets cat it may be said that his manners are not after the style of the creme de la creme. He dislikes a mon- key and is not altogether on good terms with the parrot, but if there is any good quality in me the dogs have recognized it long ago, for there never was a dog, big or little, who did not have a friendly expression and a prof. fered paw for

 As the steerage is close to the butcher shop I could not resist paying visit to Alexander. Like many another woman, timed my visit badly. The meat given them had had its effect. A lively fight was going on, and Alexander had his small remnant of tail standing straight up in the air, while the brindle pup and he were glaring at each other. I tried persuasion, but 1t was no good. The butcher appeared with a broom and in a way swept up the whole lot, so that for a short time a wait was called and the four dogs sat glaring at each other, earnestly praying in dog language that the butcher and I would soon depart and thus permit hostilities to begin again. Any human being would think that four dogs going across the ocean together would be good friends, but not these fystes. All three of them hate the brindle pup because he had the honor of being sick, the brindle pup hates all the rest of them for not being sick, while they hate each 0fher for any special courtesy whoevHA owns

I don't know whether it is the butchers influence, the meat or the original sin that exists in dogs, but the result is at once curious and undesirable. When Queenstown was sighted, I caught up Alexander, hid him under my old travelling cloak and took him on the deck to see old Ireland and to appreciate his liking for it. He had a blase air that would have been the joy of parvenu. Evidently he doesn't hope to have a pleasant time while he is there, for series of pro- longed walls makes it necessary for me to take him back to his friend the butcher. I was so provoked that of fered extra ducats to that butcher if he would give Alexander the soundest thrashing he ever had in his life. At this all the other dogs grinned, and the butcher looked happy.
 I quite envied my friend her experi- ence with her dog, since I fully believe a dog knows great deal more than he is credited with knowing. You mayn't believe it, but know a dog who would rather eat black headed pins than the liver wing of the finest chicken that ever grew. I know another dog who be- hayes in a naughty fashion simply to get a whipping. He likes it.

Settling the Bridegroom

It takes a bright woman to rebuke an- other women's rudeness, a general statement borne out by the following story: A lady entered a railway train and took a seat in front of a newly married couple. She was scarcely seat ed before they began to pass remarks about her. Her last years bonnet and cloak were fully criticised, with more or less giggling on the brides part, and there is no telling what might have come next if the lady had not put a sudden stop to the conversation by a bit of strategy. She turned her head, noticed that the bride was considerably older than the groom and in the smooth est of tones said:
 Madam, will you please ask your son to close the window behind you?"
 The "son" closed his mouth, and the bride no longer giggled.

 These have a most picturesque garb, consisting of long silk skirt with bodice woven of the fibers of the pine apple plant and beautifully embroidered with white silk.

 Soon after the brindle pup was sick word came that baby had been born in the steerage, and we all went down to see it. It was a funny looking little baby, with its big, black eyes wide open and mop of curly hair. Its nationality was doubtful. Its mother was French, it's father Italian.

Phenix Herald The Mexican peo- pie held a meeting at the court house yesterday afternoon for the further organizing and enthusing of their political union society recently pro mulgated One or two of their more fiery members attempted to air the matter of the shooting of Gonzales, semingly with the purpose in view Of stirring up the feeling already existing against Porterie, but they were discountenanced. Another meeting was held in the evening and while it was enthusiastic it was order ly and respectful. 1t appears there are two factions among the MexicaDs and the meetings while perhaps prompted by recent events seemed to be a struggle among the leaders for political supremacy.
 Tucson Star: Last Saturday night terrible tragedy occurred at Clarks ranch on the San Pedro river about six miles above the Mammoth A Mexican chopped his wife's head nearly off, then came down to Man. moth and gave himself up to the authorities. The facts as far as learn ed appear to be: The Mexican who is about forty years of age, had a ooung wife about eighteen years old. She was talking about going to a party next evening and he objected, but finally consented, but told her not to be making fool of herself by showing herself in another young mans company, which resulted in some words, when his wife told him she would never have anything more to do with him and he picked up an axe and brained her aud then came and gave himself up. acknowledging his crime. The body of his victim was sent for and before the coroners inquest her murderer was brought face to face with the corpse and he acknowledged the deed and said he had cut the gashes in her head The vic tim was buried and her murderer is in jail The case seems Co be une of insane jealousy.

Corn From Prehistoric Seed

George Barnum, a Nebraska farmer, is
raising few acres of what Is called out
there prehistoric corn" About five years
ago handful Of this corn was found in a
cave In Arkansas in q large clam shell,
which time and weather had hermeticaly
sealed. The seed was taken and planted es-
pecially for the seed, and this is Mr.. Bar
NUNS first experience with It, With only
ordinary attention and without any irri-
cation this corn grows to an average
height of fifteen feet. and runs from two to
twelve ears on stalk. Biologists agree
that the original seed found in the cave was
from 5000 to 1000 years old, and was no
doubt placed there by a pre- historic race.
AS rule the corn commences to appear on
the stalk about ten feet from the ground.

Arizona Stock Notes

The cattle industry in Arizona the
past year has been exceedingly prosper
ous Not only\have. cattle brought good
prices, but the ranges are, now in fine
condition and the grade of cattle is
better than it ever has been. A few
years ago, when cattle, owing to the
overstocking of the ranges, were dying
in large numbers or were being shipped
out at starvation rates of transportation
on the railroad, and large sums paid for
pasture to carry them over. or sold at
starvation prices, 1t made the cattle busi-
ness look very gloomy. But the result
has been three-fold, and not an unmixed
misfortune. First, the cattle have de-
creased in number to such an extent that
the ranges have been improved and the
grass had chance to grow, when it did
rain; second, the cattle being fewer, the
price has risen; third, cattlemen have
studied their business mope, and, as the
price has risen, it has paid to take better
care of the stock, and save more calves,
and improve the grade, as a fine, large,
partly Durham or Hereford steer is
worth three or four head of Mexican
trash, and eats no more grass and re-
quires no more expense to handle, nor

If local conditions in one place inI the
territory may not be good, why there is

ten the animal. AS population grows in
the United States the demand for cattle
increases, while the available space for
raising cattle decreases. AS the popu-
latioM of Europe increases, the demand
for American cattle is increasing. The
principal drawback in Arizoan is lack
.of water, running water. for the cattle
to drink in portions Of the territory
where grass may be plenty. This we be-
lieve can be corrected by the driving of
artesian wells, prospective signs for
which are seen in many places, or water
storage. Again. the various diseases so
prevalent in other localities have no lodg-
ment here. 1t is estimated that there are
about 10000 square miles of available
land for cattle to range over in the ter
ritory. There are said to be now about
5000, 900 head of cattle in Arizona. The
building of new railroads has cheap
ened transportation charges. In the
winter season, when blizzards are devas-
tating the ranges of Dakota and Mon
tana, the cattle of Arizona are waxing
fat and ready for market. while in the
