lawn making by F. Lamson Scribner,
agrostologist, which is of special in
terest to jewellers in the Salt River
valley.
The lawn is one Of the mcst attract

particularly in the arid and sem;-arid
regions, where huge stretches of desert

says:

1881, and General JOub9rt has several
times come w-thin a few votes of beat

will probably be the next to assume
that position, as ha holds different

the way tC solve the problem. At the

An anecdote is told CT the general in
this connection which SHOWS DOM
FauI's diplomatic powers. They stand
out in distinct contrast to Joubert,
who IL essentially lover CT power.
Ten thousand Beers vera gathered
at1ut the Jail, specializing as to the
fate of the prisoners. Some were for

! Joke. suggested cutting eff their ears.
This was taken UP by the press lmme-

tbs was his speech: Fellow burgh-

lay hold on these dogs and carry them
to your nsighbor, saying, Now. here's

Pay me and they shall be returned.
The general waited 2 minute for the
words to take effect, and then added:
1--WE have the rsighbor's dogs in gail.
What shall we do with them?" There
was hardly a vC.ce Cisse1ted against

FOOLS FOR PARTY LEADERS.

! 1t is becoming very plain that on the
tive sides of the national political fight
of next year will be arrayed the friends
and the enemies of the American army
in the Philippines; those who are in
favor of lowering the flag before the
assault of treacherous savages and
those who insist upon pushing the flag
onward to a victorious peace. The re-
pert of a recent great mass meeting of
democrats in Cooper Union, New
York, which was addressed by such
leaders as Ex-Governor Altgeld and
Congressman Lentz, says that the rally
was turned into ratification meeting
for Aguinaldo before it came to an end.
Each speaker referred t. the war in
the Philippines as "the murder of in
nocent savages." lie resolution de-
nounced President Mckinley and the
American campaign in the Philippines

burning of Manila and massacre of all

and elects 20 take it's stand en- the side

THE COLOR OF GOLD,

Many people regard gold as of one color
this is n mistake, as pure gold varies con
siderably in hue. An expert can tell the
locality from whence it was derived by its
color. Australian gold is very much red
der than Californian. Nugget gold Klon-
dixie, for instance is yellow, whereas that
from the quartz is of a deeper golden
tint. The reddest gold comes from the
l'ral Mountains. OF course few people
see pure gold, for the metal of commerce
and even our coin is alleged Native metal
is much too soft to be used alone, and re-
quires an alloy to enable it to withstand
rough wear and tear.
