I could not attend my baby and was advised to wean him, but I hesitated about this, as he was puny and his digestion was poor. I con- cluded to try Hoods Sarsaparilla and Hoods Pills.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

The year draws to 9 close with com
 mercial and financial conditions
 throughout the country of an unpre-
 cedented favorable character. The
 circle Of prosperity is constantly widen
 ing, and one after another of the indus tries, so long impaired. are being lifted
 out of thei,. difficulties. The ease Of our money markets al cur financial centers continues unabated, and gold continues to flew into tl.e treasury and
 cur financial institutions in unabated volums
 As a matter of plain fact, our trade activity is confirmed by the largest
 bank clearings or record. Tn this connection the activity Of iron and steel industries is entitled to 2 promi- .nent place Statistics of pig fro1 pro
 duction show that the output is stili
 increasing, while furnace stocks con tinue to decrease. The t3taI capacity
 Of furnaces in blast on December l
 was 235, ,528 gross tons, as 0mparad with 228 ,935 tons on Novembec 1, and 226.024 on December 1, 1927. The :res- ent rate of production is tce greatest in the history of the traae.
 When we come toir0n ere production it will turn out that 1898 ;s far ahead Of any other year. The years ship ments from Lake Superior mines will probably be ID to 14,100, 600 tons In a retrospect of the financial situa- ton too much stress cannot be laid upon the Importance Of the vast vol ume Of trade in favor of the United States, which is constantly growing larger. It is safe to estimate that oilr exports Of domestic merchandise i'll 1898 will amount to over S1, 200, ,00O, 900, while the United Kingdom will export domestic merchandise valued at less than $1.140. .OO0,CO9. For November alone our total exports of general mer- chandise reached the enornous figure of $12o,GG0, ,300, or $13000, 900 in excess Of November, 1897, and $21,000, ,0GO larger tf-n these Of 1896, although in both years exports were considered For November excess of l exports over imports of foreign mer- chandise amounted to s78.000,O ,OO0, and for the five months Of the current fiscal i year the excess Of exports, amounts to | $2l5. 00O,0 GOO. Taking the calendar year, i however, the trade balance for. the eleven months is in favor of the United i States to the extent of s538, ,00O, ,000, so i that the opening Of 1899 should show 1 our merchandise balance well oyer | 5600, ,0oo. .0G0.
 Under favorable conditions like these it is little wonder that the world has it's eye upon US. We have become mighty factors in the worlds progress.

The shrewd advertiser selects the paper with the largest circu- lation and concentrates his ener- gies in that paper The list of shrewd advertisers in this town is growing. You may find their names in The Republican. In the old days people here advertised to help out the papers. Instead of helping them, they laid the foundation for lots Of trouble in certain newspaper offices. A pa per that has solicited business on a charity basis finds itself handi- capped in a race with a news paper that eschews sentiment in dealing with business men. The Republican seeks business on the strength of the largest circu- lation, the largest paper, the only eve-y-day-in-the-year paper in Arizona, and the paper that prints more news and misoal- laneous matter than all it's local contemporaries combined These are facts known to the successful advertisers of Phoe- nix.

THE IMPOSSIBLE sPANIARD.

Events are rapidly forcing careful ob-
 servers to the conclusion that there is
 nobody in the world who is 50 h3pa- Ilessly ridiculous as a Spaniard unless it
 is some other Spaniard Ever since the
 beginning of the recent war there has
 been a succession Of theatrical incl
 dents serving to illustrate the eccentric
 sentimentaIism of Spanish character
 Some of these have been pathetic and touching; others have possessed cer-
 tain irresistible dignity, as. for exam i pie, the removal of the dust Of Colum-
 bus from Havana to Spain, but as 3
 general thing they have been simply iudicrous and beyond the reach of serl- ous contemplation.
 In Granada the ether day, for in
 stance, the women of the city, having
 made Up their minds that Columbus
 sowed the seeds of Spain's worst mis-
 fortunes when he discovered America. assembled in the public square and stoned the monument erected there in honor Of the great explorer. Those re sertfuI creatures, if they had chance,
 would probably throw mud balls at q statue Of Adam on the ground that he was the author of the woes Of the hu- man race.
 Tn Algiers the last week the Spanish shopkeepaIs indignantly tossed back the American gold coins offered in ex- change for merchandise by members Of the crew of the United States gunb0at Helena, thsn lying in the harbor. No body but 2 Spaniard would have done anything so theatrically absurd If given the opportunity, those enterpris- ing merchants would doubtless abolish the sun to punish it for supplying illu- imitation in America.
 These are trifies, Of course. more de- serving of pity than of censGre, but, | nevertheless, they disclose certain na- tional traits which are profoundly dis aging to those who would rejoice ] in 3 rehabilitation of Spanish power { and influence. The Spanish appear to | be nation Of trif1ers and sentimental l ists. The great enterprises of modern | life fail to interest them. Their indus | try and commerce are languishing, their agriculture is furnishing, and they i live in a dead calm Of intellectual re f pose which borders closely on senility.
 Among 3 people less given to dreams and sentiment 8 disastrous war like that frc1el which Spain has just emerged : would be followed by lorg period of tremendous industrial activity and in teusctual development. Whether it will De 50 with the spanish is problematical certainly there are as yet few, if any, traces Of it. Under an intelligent, lib- srai and honestly administered policy ]. of internal development Spain might i regain much Of her ancient prosperity ard Tecreate herself into contented nd progressive nation, but the genius and energy to lead her forward along Ii hose lines have not yet appeared. She its idly by the roadway Of destiny, ex- libiting her wounds to the more ambi- .icus nations as they march past. and he cne thing that comforts her is to i rake faces at fate. n

PRESERVING FLAVOR.
Precautions to BE Taken In the
Evaporation of Fruit.

In evaporating fruit to develop fruit
sugar fruit cells must be kept whole
and for this purpose it is necessary
that the tempera ture should not be too
high at first, as excessive heat bursts
the cells, which prevents the proper
chemical change taking place, says the
Northwest Horticulturist. If circula-
tion is sufficient the heat should be
increased during the curing process.
This will develop fruit sugar while the
moisture is being carried off in the
best possible manner, and the fruit will
be sweeter, heavier and have its nat
ural flavor preserved better than if a
high heat is used at the beginning.
Fruit not properly ripened is insipid
or tasteless. The saccharine ferment
that is necessary in all fruit to change
the different properties into fruit SUI
gar has not taken place. Now if this
agent is allowed to continue certain
length of time it will carry out the
natural law in ripening up the fruit.
The value of heat, if properly applied,
is to coagulate albumen, drive out ex-
cess of moisture, to prevent fermenta-
ton. Fruit properly cured is sweet,
heavy, wholesome and will keep longer
than if cooked" by too high heat, es-
pecially at the beginning and by hav-
ing insufficient circulation of air. II
will also sell better and can be handled
at less expense than by the former i'm
proper method. The same principles
in regard to circulation of air and heat
also applies to vegetables.

placed on two by four sleepers, the
studs being fastened to the floor tim
bers at the top and to the sleepers at
the bottom. Furring strips laid one
inch apart were nailed to each side OF
the upright studs, thus forming bins
two feet six inches wide by about eight
feet deep, and the height of the cellar
Two studs formed the seat for the fur
ring to the portable bottoms of the bins,
the bottom being the size of the inside
of the bins. Built in this way, the air
can circulate under, over, behind and
on each side of the roots in each bin.
The illustration shows a cellar under
barn or other building, with the
floor of the barn removed to enable the
reader to look down into the cellar.
The cut is incomplete in all its parts
for the purpose of simple detail explain
alton. In very deep cellars, it is advis-
able to use second bottom or parti-
tion midway in height and lengthwise
of the bins.
A cellar can be fitted for very little
cost per 100 bushels Of capacity, and
will last lifetime. The portable bot
toms can be laid one side to clean the
cellar and for preservation. If the cell
lar is properly ventilated, roots can be
hurried into such cellar, and they will
keep.
To prove the value of the air spacing,
remember that one winter the men neg
lected to place the bottom in one of
the bins, and half the roots in it rotted.
This method is efficient, and can be eff
fected at but little cost above one years
storage outside. Arrange the cellar as
you will, the roots do not like light,
must have ventilation, and keep best in
a temperature just above the freezing
point. Cellars with southern exposures
are usually failures.-D. E. Howatt, in

Returned After sl1 Yearn.

years ago man who was noted for his
kindness to animals. Among his other
pets, he had large white cat, and the
day after the funeral this cat disap-
peared. The gentleman's daughter con-
tinued 10 occupy the house, and white
the cat was missed, as weeks lapsed into
months and months into years, it was
finally given up for lost and forgotten
One day recently, while the family was
seated at the dinner table, the white cal
appeared us suddenly as it left six years
before, and climbed up on chair to be
fed. Since then the most careful search
and elaborate inquiries has failed to re-
veal where the cat has been during thi:
long interval.
