Bankruptcx to q savage.

A correspondent of the London Times at Wanganui. New Zealand. sends us this amusing extract from local newspaper: "A Maori chief who lost { 70 through Q white storekeeper going through the bankruptcy court has given the following lucid exposi- ton of this particular branch of Brit ish jurisprudence: The pakehs (whitc man) who wants to become pakalapu (insolvent) goes into business. and gets lots of goods, and does not pay for them. He then gets all the money he can together, say. s2,oOO, and puts all of it, except e5. away where no one can find it. With the 5 he goes 10 a judge of the court and tells him he wants to become pakarapu. The judge then calls all the lawyers together, likewise all the men to whom the pakeha owes money, and he says: This man is pakarapu. but he wishes to give you all that he has got. and so he has asked me to divide this z s among you all The judge thereupon gives the lawyers s4, and the remaining z to the other men. Then the pakeha goes home"

Woman. Rights in Australia.

in western Australia shey push the equality Of the sexes to a conclusion that would satisfy even very ardent equal fighters There the men folks act on the principle that if women de- mand men's privileges they must take with them mens responsibilities. Ac- aordingly, bench of magistrates have charged woman with deserting her husband, and what is more, they have sent her to prison for a month because she steadfastly refused to contribute to the domestic comfort of her life part ner. A philosopher once remarked that human beings should have care for what they wished, for that thing would surely come to them. The equal rights sisterhood had better take warning from their Australian cousins plight or they may get more than they desire in the way of equality.-N. Y Sun.

THE CATTLE MARKET.
The Outlook as Sized up by Mir. Brady,
 the Cattle Broker.
lFrom the Iueson Citizen. ]

lFrom the Tucson Citizen.I
 |. G. Brady, the cattle broker, has inst returned from Denver, where he attended the national eattlemen's con vention, and reports having had plea sant trip, barring the excessive cold at Denver. It was so cold up there Chat his moustache was frozen off, and peo- pie now take him for a Philadelphia lawyer. MT. Brady met all the big cattle buyers of the United States at Denver, Omaha and Kansas City, where he went, and they all say they will come to Arizona for cattle for this spring, provided prices are low enough for them to come out even. Nearly all of them lost money on the Arizona cattle they purchased last year at the high prices paid by them, and they have given out that they will not pay last years prices.
 Nearly all of these buyers have cattle on hand, and as they can buy cheaper in the north they will not come south, unless our cattlemen regulate prices for them.
 Texas will regulate the prices this year, as she listed over 300, 010 head for sale at Denver, while not more than 25, : 900 head were listed from Arizona and the prices are going to be from four to five dollars lower than they were last year.

AN UNHEALTHY JOB.
Door Openers in Big stoxes Dc Thsis Work Between Hot and
 Cold Air.

Door openers have the most un- healthy job on the list of occupations. During the holiday rush all the big stores have from two to dozen such employees. They run principally to boys. In the great office buildings men do the work. Door openers are on their feet from seven o'clock in the morning till business closes at six in the evening, and it is pull and push on the heavy doors all day long, al- lowing persons to enter or leave the stores and buildings, without physical effort or without coming into contact with the cold latch handles. The work is poorly paid for. The wages are lower than those given 10 the ordi- nary laborer, and the men and boys engaged in it are supposed to Keep themselves neatly clad and immaculate in linen h some plaees uniforms are provided for them.
 Door openers are frequently miss ing from their posts. New faces smile on the regular frequenters or tenants of buildings. who, passing in, inquire: Where's John," or 'Tim?" or what ever the missing door openers name may have been.
 Pneumonia" is the general an swer, and sufficient explanation. =
 For the door opener is exposed to the coldest blasts of winter and the com fortable heat that comes from within. His temperature is subject to such constant changes that he cannot dress against" his conditions and sickness comes inevitably.

Mystery of a Disappearing Cargo.

The mystery of the disappearance of part of the cargo of the schooner Chal- mer two years ago, while bound from Baltimore to Savannah, has been solved by an examination of the vessel at Philadelphia, where she has been undergoing repairs Ten tons of phos- phate, the missing merchandise, were located between the inner ceiling and the outward planking, where it had worked two years ago while the vessel was storm-tossed at sea. It was neces sary to cut away part of the plankng on the inside and outside of the vessel to remove the phosphate, the work oc- cupying over week. The vessel had lost her insurable interest, and it was while the trouble was being inquired into that the missing cargo was discov- cred

Washington, Feb. 7.-It may be that 1t was Admiral Dewey's act in seizing a vessel loaded with arms and ammuni- tion melted the Filipino insurgents to bring attack on the American soldiers for it is understood one of the bitterest of their grievances was what they de- clared to be the unwarrantable inter- ference with their shipping. About a week ago the admiral caused the seiz- ure of the schooner Taning with a full supply of arms for the insur- gents.

The controlling idea of ancient art was to beautify the earth. The entire world WAS conceived iD eastern imagi- nation as 8 garden, saye Eppincott's. The great monntains and broad val leys, with their TiseSs i.d wooded plains. were but the modern park rem dened colossal.

IEe first garden of the world Eden-wGs the greatest, and the ornamental lands of the infant races were eo-extensiye with the world. All Syria glittered in the sun with sparkling cities that dotted it's warm plains like the white dwellings scattered on the hills of southern France. It was a garden in which cities were the flowers and mountain ranges the retreats, where the valley of Rasselas and the vale of Cashmere would be but sunny spots About the earliest work of art pro- jected in that countrywide tower Of Babel-was designed to be a monr- ment so high that all the world could see it. Like Pikes peak to the emf grants of the plains, it was 10 be uni versal guide, which, like compass or landmark, should prevent the people, wherever wandering, from scattering beyond recall.
