results Of Prince Blsmarcl1s policy had
still further raised the position of Ger
mans throughout the world. But when
Count Won Bulow inslnuated that unless
they got a big navy they We're in peril
of being treated like domestic tutors he
was belittling the whole results of the
great epoch of German history. More
over he proceeded to argue, policy of
colonial adventure meant not only big
fleet, but a big colonial army, as was
demonstrated by present events in the
Transvaal. With universal military
service, which existed already in Ger
many, the creation OF q colonial army
would be found impossible. He protest
ed with especial vehemence against the
theory of Count Won Bulow that Germa-
ny must be either a hammer or an anvil
She had no right to fall on any other
nation for the sake of imposing upon 1t
her own political ideas.

Though fringe trimming of one sort
or another is a rage, there still is de-
mand for band trimmings of a novel
nature. One that served a fine orna-
mental purpose appeared on the gown
shown here. 1t was white and gilt es
curiel silk edged top and bottom with
quilted black chiffon. The only other
trimming was band OF black velvet
that was novel for its width and for APP
pearing only at the lower edge of the
bolero. The dress goods thus finished
was biscuit broadcloth.
Sandle wood Is the new perfume.
Some stores keep sandle wood incense
that costs a lot. A little of it burned
in ones clothes close will impregnate
all ones wear with this pungent odor.
Bits of the wood can be bought, with a
little panel of carving to show that 1t Is
not a mere kindling stick. The odor
from this is everlasting and more deli
cate than the incense. Sandal sachet Is
also used, but 1t should be taken from
the little envelope in which 1t comes
and smothered in cotton, or 1t will give
too strong an odor. One of the sticks
scraped into little shavlngs and fasten-
ed in a China silk bag gives still an
other grade Of this scent A sande
wood fan laid away among laces and
fine handkerchiefs will serve as well as
anything. Sandle scented soap is said
to give the required fragrance to the
hair, but you must be sure that 1t Is
good shampoo soap as well.

DATES IN ARIZONA.

Best Variety of Fruit Not Supplied
United States Markets,
The dates imported into the United
States are all Of inferior varieties the
largest shipments of them coming from
Vassora, on the Persian Gulf and from
the banks of the Euphrates The great
date of all the date palm family Is not
brought here at all. 1t is called deglet
noir, is date of light" the words be-
ing Arabic and not French. This fruit
is about two inches long, light brown
in color of the most delicious flavor,
and contains about SO per cent of sugar,
The sugar does not run into strip, so
that it must be drained out of pack
age of the dates, as is the case with
the common fruit, but it maintains a
consistent moisture and holds the in
tegrity of the pulp when dried and pack
ed Further than drying and packing,
the dates require no preparation. They
do not have to be dipped in solutions
of caustic soda as do prunes, or into
glycerine and sugar as do figs. In fact,
the drying is not a process in the sense
of the drying of fruit in California: for
the dates are really dried upon the trees;
allowing them to lay for a day or two
upon canvas spread beneath the trees
after they are picked and before pack
ing.
The deglet nor grows in the hottest
regions of the earth. 1t hourishes best
in the sinks of the Sahara desert and
the hot winds which destroy men and
animals are sweet zephyrs to it. 1t has
one requirement, however-that its
roots shall be close to water. The Arabs
dig down through 10 feet of sand and
plant the suckers No more attention is
required, and the tree will grow to a
hight of 12O feet. 1t bears an everage
of about 500 pounds of fruit to tree,
and this sells in Paris and London at
wholesale, in one-pound packages, at IL
cents pound.
The deglet, also, is not afraid of alkali
soil. Alkali water is as good for it as
pure water. 1t is necessary that the
summer should be short, hot and dry,
in order to mature and flavor the fruit;
but. this done, it can stand consider
able degree of cold, enduring without
damage temperature from to 10 de-
grees below the freezing point.
Undoubtedly deglet noir dates would
bring in the United States at wholesale
10 cents a pound, A tree bearing 500
pounds would thus yield its owner $50

states a large truth when he says that
all the gold and silver mines in the

forever. No possible supply of money
can prevent stock exchange panics or
periods of monetary stringency, be-
cause speculation and rising prices will
absorb any possible increase until the
pressure for ready cash is just as great
upon the new plane as it was upon the
old. The cry for more money is as UNI
appeasable as the demand for more
wealth A new supply instead of sat
isfying the demand stimulates it, Men
want money to buy things with--good
things that they think are going high
er. Given easy money in the banks and
we have bankers encouraging borrow
ers. AS result, stocks go up, and as
they go up more people want to buy,
and SO the demand for money increas-
es. You can't furnish money fast
enough to meet the demand of all who
would like to borrow, while prices are
going up.
There will never be money enough to
speculate with, but there is often
enough to do legitimate business with
if it could be used that way
