ACTUAL HUMIDITY.

This is extremely slight, everywhere in Arizona, as compared with any eastern climate in the United States. The air is driest on the high mesas, remote from snowclad mountains or forests, and in the desert valleys, where no considerable irri- gation has been begun. Wherever irrlca- 5ion is carried on on large scale, the percentage of humidity in the atmosphere must be somewhat increased, although to an eastern visitor it is scarcely perceptibls. The same Government observations al ready cited show relative humidity. at Phoenix or Tucson, averaged for weeks, from morning and evening readings, at less than half the usual humidity on dry days in New York. General Greedy, in a pub Iication from the Weather Bureau, gave the normal weight of aqueous vapor in the Arizona air at from I1a to grains per cubic foot.

ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of a1 era of wonderful social and industrial de ] velopment. There can't be . doubt about ] the fact. The dawn for which she has waited so long is breaking at last. There is every promise of a day of great pros perity and permanent upbuildiDg just be- fore her. The impulse of new and ener giziug hope is visible everywhere among her people while the cumulative effect of many things, which made but small i'm pression as they transpired singly, is now commanding for her fall share of atten- ton and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists
 4 lively competition has sprung up fer the possession of things which have hereto fore gone a-beggiug for ownership. There is a scramble for franchises, Nothing more surely indicates a great industrial awaken ing than this. The rates of interest are falling to moderate figures. Nothing more surely indicates confidence and competition among the money lenders than this.
 Arizona has reached that climacticer period which every westetn state has ex- perieneed sometime in its history when, after long aud weary struggle and doubt, with each side of the balance first up and then down, the clouds of despondency have suddenly rolled away, and a sunhurst of onergiziug hope has thrilled the dfoop- ing spirits of the people to greater and brayer eudoavor than before.
 For the last twelve years the subsistence of the great Tombstone boom and the com pletiou of two transcontinent8l lines of railroad across her tcrritorf-Arizoua has rather dropped out of public attention, but in that time she has been quietly ac- cumulatine fund of substantial wealth and a force of moral character which qualify her now to rise up and take her destiny in her own hands.
 The population of Arizona is Mexican. This is mistake of great importance fro,I the moral point Of view. There is but one considerable center of Mexican population in th- territory, the city Of Tucson, and even -fele u iz not hy any means at pres eut tie nre@cNioating element.

TEAS AND TEAS.

Things Once Used or Now Used as Substi-
tLtes For the Chinese herb.
OF course every one knows that we
drink good deal that isn't tea when
we drink cup Of tea. We drink-or
are supposed to drink-some tea, some
lead and some straw. But there are sew
eraI ''teas" that the drinkers know are
not made Of tea leaves and yet are not
adulterated.
IN Peru they drink mate, tea made
from the lex paraguensis, species of
holly. This is the only mate tea, but
there is Brazilian tea, gorgonha, call
ed mate there; another tea used in Aus
tria, called Brazilian tea, and several
other so called mate teas are made from
different varieties of the lick In Lab
rador they make a tea from two species
Of ledum. Oswego tea was made from
the scarlet mouarda, and mountain tea
from the dwarf evergreen, Gaultheria
procumbens. Then clover tea and tansy
tea and catnip tea and mint tea are
used, though not as beverages. q
Z In Sumatra they use coffee leaves to
make tea out of, and the beverage is
said to be very refreshing. In Mauritius
the leaves of an orchid, Angroecum
fragrans, are used. The Tonquinese
have teas of their own, made of leaves,
berries, barks and woods. The Abys-
sinians make tea out of the leaves of
the Catha edulis. When a sentinel can't
leave his post to get cup of tea he
can chew leaf or two of this n1ant
and he won't feel like going to sleep
all night. In Tasmania there are said
to be more than 200 substitutes for tea;
in England they used to make a tea of
sage, betony or rosemary and of rasp-
berry leaves; in France they use black
currant leaves and borage to mako tea,
and century or so ago they gathered
in English gardens and fields ash, elder
and sloe leaves, and the leaves of white
thorn and blackthorn, out of which to
make tea. So it is evident that there
are teas and teas.-New York Sun.

Animals, Fright Is Short.

A question that has often been asked
is, How long does fright last in wild
creature? The close observer will be
surprised at it's brief duration. They
are not subject to nerves. like human
beings. A partridge after running Cor
rather flying the gantlet of half dozen
guns-if we may be allowed a mixed
metaphor-drops on the other side of a
hedge and begins calmly to peck as if
nothing had happened. You would
think rabbit after hearing charge of
shot whistling about its launches and
just managing to escape from yelp-
ing spaniel would keep indoors for a
week, but out it pops quite merrily as
soon as the coast is clear. A fox pur-
sued by hounds has been known to halt
and kill fowl in it's flight, though we
may assume that his enemies were not
close to Reynard at the time. We have
been led into thinking about the matter
by noting what took place at cover
after being shot over.-Pall Mall Ca

A GEORGIA HEN COOP.

1t Was Sure Proof Against the InrOads of
Outsiders.
"There isn't more faithful being on
earth, said Georgia business man to
a reporter, ethan one of our Georgia
darkies. Neither is there one more su,
perstitious, nor yet again is there one
who loves better the products of the
hen coop. And Gainesville isn't any diff
ferent from any one of hundred south
ern towns. When I was down there
some time ago, customer of mine who
had fancy for chickens and who had
always had more or less trouble in
maintaining ownership of them told me
he had remedy and asked me to go
around with him and see it. l wanted
him to tell me what it was, but he in
sisted on my seeing it first, so l went
along with him. and in few minutes
was standing in his back yard before
what was to me the oldest chicken
coop l ever saw. 1t was constructed Of
large timbers and there were a dozen
places in it's walls where a hand could
be run in and everything cleaned out
within reach. Then there was no fas-
tening on the door, nor was there any
kind of protection to the fowls. I
couldn't understand how such an in
wiling snap could be of any use to the
owner and said as much.

he.

"'Fact, just the same, said he. 'You
don't see it on the outside and you don't
know it, but the darkies around here
do, and they won't come within 100
yards of that coop If they can help it.

cause why? 1t is built Of the timbers
of gallows on which man was hung
about three months ago in another coun-
ty. 1t cost me something extra to get it,
but it has more than paid for itself

market now to buy all the secondhand

me know by next mail, WON'T you,

Drying Clothes.

The drying of clothes in frosty
weather is sometimes, in the case OF
delicate fabrics, attended with tearing
because of the quick stiffening in the
very GOLD air. A simple precaution
which will prevent any such trouble is
to dissolve three or four handfuls of
coarse salt in the last rinsing water,
thus making it, in fact, weak brine.
Articles SO rinsed will not suffer from
or stiffen with the cold.

New Years day is the Oldest holiday
that we know anything about 1t has
been celebrated by the Jews,th Egyptians
the Chinese and the ancient Romans in
different ways, of course, but it has always
been festal day. Concentrating what
was supposed to be the first day of the
year it has varied as to date, Xmas day,
the Annunciation, Easter day and March
] having been observed at different times.
1t was not until after the middle of the
fourteenth century that January / was
generally accepted as the opening of the
year. The celebration of New Years has
been observed by all religions from time
immemorial, long antedating history. As
holiday it is thought to be eight to ten
thousand years old. What first gave rise
to it is conjeotured to have had its origin
in superstition connected with the sense
OF newness, which has appealed to the
mind in all ages as emblematic of hope,
expectancy and desirableness The Gus
tom SO common in this country of making
good resolutions on New Years day, only
to break them later on. is by no means PEI
ouliar to Americans; it is characteristic of
human weakness.
Our New Year dawned bright upon us,
and we all had clear light by which to
record our resolutions, May the year to
US all be happier than the last, and may
some of our good intentions bear fruit
