AN ARIZONA COPPER TRUST.

The disposition of the times seems to trend unaltersbly to that of the association of the industries of var iOus localities into strong snd infu- ential combinations and in c0nnec- ton with the spirit of other Iocali- ties and the industries they harbor, together with the fact that Arizona today is rated third, if not second, ID the production of copper, and has not as yet been included in the trust of that character formed, nego- tistions are pending to enter the long list of combines as a matter of corporate protection. The United Verde, the Copper Queen, the Clif- ton and Globe mines, with many other producers likewise, are said to form the new enterprise projected, aud the capital stock of which will he up in the hundreds of millions

In addition. there are as many more camps rapidly being de- yeloped, which will undoubtedly take rank perhaps before the sum- mer Is over, as producers, and will materially swell the output of the territory.

Practically all the packages that go through the New York postofhce are examined Many persons seem utterly unable to resist the temptation to scrib- ole a message upon the back of photo graph CT the lid of a box A written dedication in a book or a written greet ing. such as the conventional Merry Christmas is allowable. but with these exceptions, any written word makes a package liable to letter postage The whole fly leaf of a book may be filled with a dedicatOry note. but any other words. as. for instance, See Page 4, would cause the package tO be chased as written matter
 Another commDn error IS 10 put seal ing wax on the knot of the string around the package Such a package is chased as ''sealed against inspection" and must pay letter rates The same rule applies Co boxes that have their lids nailed or tackled on The amount of money collected for insufficient postage is surprising The average receipts in this department of the postofice are S20O a day -Leslie's Weekly

The Market CauI..

We believe that there is still some market for cauls among sailors, who re- tain their belief in the efficacy Of he membranes as a protection against ship. wreck and drowning. Notices of 'CaUls For Sale Within" were to be seen recent ly in windows in the vicinity of the docks of both London and Liverpool but it is some time since we have no ticed an advertisement of 6 caul for sale in the daily press It may be re marked that the sale of cauls, so far from being a very ancient custom. is a compara lively modern innovation. The witcbcrIft of the middle ages declared against the caul retaining any virtue whatev,r if parted with by gift or sale 10 any but a member of the child's kin fred. .-Loudon Lancet

 The boundaries of the lawn were marked with lines of Japanese Ian terms, and the house roof was bril- liant with incandescent lights in red, white and blue. The walk leading to the house entrance was carpeted, and the flight of steps covered with Navajo blankets. The hall and re- ception rooms were decorated with olesader and pomegrsuste, honey- suckle and asparagus. Refresh meuts of creams, cake and fruit punch were laid in the dining room, which was decoroted with two great aags and clusters of those amazing American beauty roses, which bloom nowhere in the world as they do in Arizona. The orchestra occupied the library, and the hall and wide veraud s gave ample room for the daucers.-Phenix Gazette.
