, sMr. c ". Grouse left Monday for as visit to Sacaton, Casa Grande and adjacent points. He returned home last night and reports a most pleasant outing. It was his first visit to Saca- ton since he turned over the office of Indian agent some six years ago. He speaks very highly of Agent Hadley, and appreciates the hospitality shown, him while there. The buildings have been recently painted, and other im- provments made, which gave the agen- cy an air of progress and good order. He also visited the post trader, an old friend, and was pleased to note his prosperity. When asked about the crops of the Indians. and their out look for the coming winter, Mir. Grouse gave it as his opinion that this years crop would not be over a third of what is usually expected and that the In- dians who sowed their whsat late, will get scarcely anything at all. The government will find it necessary to furnish seed wheat to great many for the coming season and perhaps will have to issue ratinns dnring the winter Phoenix Herald.

About fifty com panies are expected to qualify for busi- ness. Last year the companies col lected in Arizona $548, 100 in prem iums,. business which, if maintained, will give the general fund about $1E,- 900 in 1899. The municipalities will suffer to degree through the law, which specifics that the tax on pre- mium receipts shall be considered "pay- ment in full of all demands of any tax on said company, or license for con- ducting such business of insurance in the Territory of Arizona" The tax will mainly be paid by the mutual life insurance companies. One of them, that carries the greatest amount with in the Territory, furnishes figures through its Territorial agent that show Arizona comparatively severe on insurance corporations. The company will pay in Arizona this year about s1 1920 on about $2,0O0,000 of business in force; for 1897, in New Mexico, on $3, 100000 of policies. it paid only $226 ; In California, on $2O,000, 900, it paid $729.

 The late Arizona legislature did a fitting thing when it conferred a pen sion of $35a month on Colonel Charles D. Poston, who is known as the "Father of Arizona" To ofdstinaers Colonel Poston is undoubtedly the best known man in the territory, where he has long resided md of which he was, m measure, the creator. He first went to what is now Arizona Territory in 1854, going through the Apache country. with band of California peospectors. Some rich deposits oi silver were discovered and work com menced, but the mines had to be abandoned when the United States troops were withdrawn at the out break of the civil war.
 Colonel Poston wasstos time Super. iptendent of Indian affairs in the southwest, and recorder of Dona Ana county, which then included all oi what is now Arizona, which territory Colonel Poston named, and secured the signature of the President Lincoln tc the act giving the territory separate government. In 1861 Colonel Postor was elected Arizona's first delegate tt congress. He made a trip around the world as an inspector of consulates and filled several other government positions. For some years past the ole gentleman has been destitute. living l at Phoenix in an old battered adob, shanty. The pension which he nov receives will at'least keep him from want.
 Poston is most interesting conver sationalist and writer, and is in man.

He has been in the thick of the fighting ever since he landed in the Philippines. At the time of writing letter just received in Phoenix, he was in Manila, suffering from a ballet wound. He writes: 'tI was too anxious to get shot at one of the niggers and leaned too far out of the trench. The consequence was disastrous, for I got bullet through the point of the left shoulder. l thought l had been struck with a club" The insurgents he considers devils without fear" and he believes it will be some time before they are brought under controh "The sit1a- Sfon here is more serious than is be- lieveu in the States, for the rebels fire with determination and persistence that cannot but be admired.

When papa'sslc ma has to stand Right side the bed and hold his hand. While Sis she has to fan an fan, For hesssays he's "a dyin' man."

When papa's sick he acts that way, Until he hears the doctor say, You've only got a cold. you know. You'ilbe all right n B deyor so.s And then well say you ought to see.

 In the older copper districts of the country, such as Lake Superior and Montana, the present cost of producing copper is cents per pound. This is traced to two reasons-operating with deep and expensive shafts, and the absence of profitable by-ducts: In Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, New Mexi- co and Arizona-the copper region of the future-2, 900 foot shafts are as yet unknown, as the paying ores are found near the surface. The presence of gold or silver-and often both metals-in the copper ores is another advantage. Taking two points together, the lead ing Arizona producers are now yielding copper at less than cents per pound which explains the rapid drift of Lake Superior and Montana capital to the newer fields, with incursions into New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and

APPLE MERINGUE.
THIS Is nm inexpensive Dessert That
Is Good Amy Season of the

This is a delicious and inexpensive
dessert. Simmer until tender six firm,
tart apples which have been corcd and
peeled. Put them in a porce,ain-lined
saucepan with a sirup made of half
cupfu. OF water and half cupful of
sugar. Cover them closely and let them
cook on the top of the stove or in the
oven. Remove the cover in either case
two or three times TO haste the top of
the apples with the strip in which they
are cooking. They should be tender
CROUCH TO be easily pierced with a
straw. Lift them up one by one on
plate and set them away to cool. While
they are cooking boil down the peelings
and cores OF the apples in water with
half a dozen other apples cut in bits
withou; removing the pee,ing and cores.
Strain the juice OF the apples after they
are boiled tender, pressing ii through
a bag. Boil it down 20 minutes, add a
cupful of sugar for every cupful of
juice, and boi. it to jelly. After filing
the cores of the apples with this jelly
and glazing them with ii let them cool
again, when the jelly should be firm.
They are very nice for supper, as they
are served with whipped cream. They
may be made into meringue by covering
them with n meringue made Of the
whites of three eggs beaten to a stiff
froth with three tab,espoonfuls of pow
dcred sugar. Let the meringue that
covers the apples also cover the edge of
the plate they rest on. Set the plate
nlso on n block of wood. Dredge the
meringue over the apples thickly with
powdered sugar. and let II brown deli
cately for ten minutes. If this work Is
properly done the jelly in the apples
will not be melted. The plate should be
very thoroughly covered with the

Crusade Against Cradles.

'"The hand that rocks the cradle Is the
hand that rules the world" was a very
pretty sentiment in its day. Even now
orators who are not quite up to date on
the ethics OF "child culture" do little
soaring along this line. They don's
know that well-regulated mothers have
started a crusade against cradle rock
ing. and that there is a stigma on the
hand which persists in jogging the
baby. Apparently the electricians did
not know this. either, for they have in
vented a cradle which can be rocked by
electricity. All the fond mother has 10
do is TO put the pug in the switchboard.
and the cradle will rock until the baby
grows up and pulls the plug out him
self. II some one doesn't do II before
that. consequently, the prospects are
that II the cradles Of the world do go on
swinging the hand that rocls them will
be that Of the electrician. In that case,
maybe the hand that rocks the cradle
will continue 10 be the one that rules
the world. but there will scarcely be 81
much sentiment about ii.--N. Y. Sun.
