WATER MAP.

F. P. Trott~ water commissioner,
has prepared a map which shows the
daily and monthly average volume of
water in miners inches received by
the canals of the Salt River valley
for the years 1895 6789. 1t shows
that the highest number of inches
was 87,074. March 20, 1896, and the
lowest 8,027.
Mr.. Trott says that this valley has
the greatest need for reservoir
regulator whereby canals might have
uniform volume, and flow, and par
ticularly at needed seasons.
The map is the first of its kind
ever made and the idea Of it came to
Mr.. Trott from a study of maps il
lustrating money values. Every
rancher in the valley should be pro-
vided with one of these maps as it
would assist him very materially i'll
determining whether he was getting
all of his share of the waters of the
canal from which he is entitled. =

between the Mexican troops under

Vicam where they we're entrenched
General Torres carried the position of
the rebels by brilliant and effective
assault, a,' in which he suffered the loss
of two men and twenty wounded, but
killing forty-two Yaquis. Much Of
the fighting was hand to hand. The
Yaquis were at disadvantage, as many
of them were without firearms, having
bows and arrows only. Inside the
entren chments were found three large
underground repositories Of provisions
in which were about twenty tons OF

the high school district, Is $2.S5, ex-
oeeded only by the rate on the newly
formed district No. As, which is $3.50.
The general fund levy last year was
80, but it left a deficit of nearly
$32, 900, so that it is estimated now
that it will require a general fund
rate sufficient to raise $9l 900 to meet
the expenses of the coming year and
the deficit of the present one. Or
rather the estimate is $lc7,000, but
$l6, 900 will be raised from licenses
and other soures than taxstion on
property. The estimate includes the
school fund, $55,760; bonds to be
paid $500; interest on the same,

Though he was cut down $4,000, he
will have really larger sum than his
estimate at his disposal. There is
usually paid direct irto the school
fund nearly $4,000 derived from
fines. gambling licenses and other
sources. This year there is an addi-
tional source of revenue, the compul-
sorry payment of poll tas as quali6-
cation of voters. How much that will
add to the fund beyond the amount Of
poll tax ordinarily paid is a matter of
conjecture, bat as the pext is an elec-
ton year it Is assumed that the tax
will be pretty generally paid.-Re-

s.The episode was erushet for

the Pasadena correspondence relative
to young girl, daughter of religious
parents, who was proven to be thief,
and the parents grief when informed
of that fact. This incident is very
frequently duplicated, but is seldom
seen in print. It is common cause
of heartache to observant men, that
some men, and women, too, full of q
certain religious fervor, born of the
emotions, rise so high in an assumed
holy atmosphere, that they ia to

morality from the carnAl stand point
is bad, but sneaking, lying, tbieving

the groundwork for play and some
characters that never cease to be anus

Secret of Going Upstairs.
the New York Sun.

t Iotii TIC 4NS" ouH'
A physician, who declared that few
people knew how to walk upstairs
properly, was asked to describe how it
should be done. He said: "Ususally
a person will tread on the ball of the
foot in taking each step. This is very
tiresome and wearing on the muscles,
as it throws the entire suspended
weight of the body on the muscles of
the legs and feet. You should in walk
ing or climbing stairs seek for the
most equal distribution of the body's
weight possible. In walking upstairs
your feet should be placed squarely
down on the step, heel and all, and
then the work should be performed
slowly and deliberately. In this way
there is no strain upon any particular
muscle, but each one is doing it's duty
in a natural manner The woman who
goes upstairs with a spring is no phil
osopher, or at least she is not making
a proper use of her reasoning faculties
The habit, too, of bending over half
double when ascending a fight of
stairs is exceedingly reprehensible In
any exertion of this kind when the
heart is naturally excited to a more
rapid action, 1t is desirable that the
lungs should have full play. The
crouching position interferes with their
action, the blood is imperfectly aerated,
and there is trouble at once. Give the
lungs a chance to do their work every
where and at all times"

Raisin Making in California.

From the Land of Sunshine.
The gang moves in a bunch, clipping
off the translucent clusters of musca-
tells, arranging them upon the trays
to shrink and shrivel under the rays of
the sun into the concentrated delicacy
We know. Behind them in lines of
trays lie, basking array of simmer
ing fruit, and some one interested is
showing the clusters together, that the
tray shall be honestly filled, for the
workers are paid by the tray.
After two weeks exposure to the dry
heat the filled trays are ready to be
turned so that the grape may be cured
evenly. This is accomplished by two
men, one on either side, placing an
empty tray over the full one, dexter
ously reversing it, then, carrying the
upper one with them, repeating the
process on down the row. 1t is at this
stage in the curing that the grape is
NEST delectable.
The amber is changing through rud-
dy stages to amethyst, and the sun
warmed balls are drops of honey-dou-
BILE distilled, so sweet they make you

40 acres away; but you must eat and
eat, and go on eating even while your
palate is cloying with the sweetness
In another week the dried grapes are
ready for the sweat boxes. These wide,
open boxes contain from $50 to 100
pounds, and as the raisins become
sufficiently cured they are sorted from
the others and placed therein, the
large, perfect clusters, and the inferior.
broken pieces in separate boxes. These
are usually carried to a sweating
house. a closed structure, in which
they soften and moisten evenly, the
drying having made the stems exceed
ingly brittle; or simply stacked in one
corner of the packing house to await
the grading and packing.

at is a curious fact, said an expert
enced New Orleans photographer, that
it isn't the haudsomest women who
make the handsomest pictures. Why Is
it? Well, a beauty nearly always owes
her charm to something beyond the
reach of the lens-to her complexion,
her hair or the v~ivacity of her express
sion. Very few such women have regu
lar features, and when they are repro
duced in plain black and white they are
at a great disadvantage. Their photo
graphs are generally unsatisfactory and
are really not correct as ~likenesses. On
the other hand, "A woman who is re-
garded as homely may have singularly
perfect lines, but attracts no attention
through lack of color and animation.

When a new ran goes into the SEN

back seat for four years. This time is
supposed to be necessary to enable the

been few exceptions to this unwritten
rule. One notable exception. however,
has been recorded-Senator Francis E.

came into the senate in 1890. has serv-
ed continuously, and for more than six
years has been conspicuous as one of
the republican leaders. Before his cleo
ton to the senate he was prominent in
his state. having served as treasurer
and later as governor for two terms.
The old and dignifed senator's soon
saw that he was a man of ability and
legislative training and that he could
not easily be ignored. Warren came
rapidly to the front. With Elkins, Aid
rich and Allison he has much T. do
with shaping the course of legislation.
