A WORD IN SEASON.
1t Was Spoken by DR.. James Me-
Gosh to Lord DUfYerin in Their
Younger Days.

Rev. Dr. James McCosh, lately the
president of Princeton college, was n
man who dared always to speak word
lin season" or out of season; for the
result, he would trust the good chances
CT life. Before DR.. McCosh came TO
this country Lord Datferin frequently
invited him to his mansion, Claude-
boy, near Dublin, where he was max
ing improvements upon his estate and
entertaining much company; but this
was not enough to satisfy the doctor.
One day as the two were riding in
the park, they loosened rein and went
slowly, and the clergyman mustered
what he afterward called either 1.-The
courage or the inpertinence" 10 say
10 his host:
My icrd, fear you are not fulfilling
the end of your life"
Lord Dufferin turned to him some
what imperious4y and asked: What
10 you mean?"
IL mean that you have talents and
accomplishments. You have great in
iluence both in your descent and your
property, and something good and
great is expected of YOU"
"Eut what" said his lordship, ''do
you expect me to do?"
Il expect you to devote yourself to
craftsmanship" WAS the reply.
do you think" said Dufferin.
thoughtfully and earnestly, "that l
have the talent for this work 2"
DIR. McCosh assured him that he did
think SO, and the conversation con-
tinued as they rode slowly homeward
No one can now say whether this
talk had any influence on Lord Dutfer-
ms conduct, but ii WAS not long I've
fore he was deep in political 'nnt,srs,
where he succeeded in qut!!i-y. a as
turbance. or as he afterward said, "pac-
flying Syria as the sand of the desert
is pacitied, till the next breeze"
But his public career did not end
there, for since then he has been gov
ernor general of Canada. yiceroy OF In
dia and ambassador to France. II may
be that DR.. McCosh's little word was
the influence that led him to begin
his long and brilliant public service

ARRANGING THE VEIL.
To Judge by the Appearance of
Many Women This Is Not Such a
Very Easy Task.

The art of arranging veil success
fully, and at the same time fashion
ably, cannot be so simple as it seems,
since so many women fail to accom-
plish the desired result. They put
their wells on so tight that they wrin-
kle across the face and fiatten the end
of the nose, and the unneeded length is
left to hang in untidy ends at the back.
All wells should be gathered a few
inches from the middle of the upper
edge to make them fit. Fashion va
ries in the disposition of this little ar
ticle of dress which, if not properly ar
ranged, can make a woman look as if
everything she has on had been thrown
at her. Just at present wells are made
crescent shape with applique lace bor-
ders, and are worn very loose, leav-
ing the chin entirely free. Afternoon
teas are responsible for this fashion,
as loose wells are more easily managed
than tight ones. The latest novelty in
yelling has a blue chenille dot, and
Russian net mounted over white tulle.

Following an idea first developed in
Germany, pictures have recently been
printed in this country which, when
viewed through spectacles, appear in
stereoscopic relief. The object pictured
is first photographed from two points
like an ordinary stereoscopic view.
Then the two pictures are printed in two
complementary colors, nearly but not
quite overlapping. The glasses of the
viewing spectacles are also of compile
mentary colors corresponding to those
used in the printing, and when the pic
ture is seen through these glasses, it
stands forth with startling appear
ance of solidity.-Youth's Companion

feet deep and the water in the we'll is
about three feet deep. a tank made of
any suitable material is put in connec-
ton with the city main or the supply
from tank. The outlet pipe ends near
the bottom of the tank, insuring the
coolest part of the supply being deliv-
cred in the house. The device is simple
and can be made by any plumber or
steam filter. Often wells have been
abandoned when the town or city has
pat in a system of water supply, and
they can be utilized to cool the water
from the mains. After wells have be-
come somewhat contaminated, making
the use of such water questionable from
sanitary point of view, they can be
fitted with the device we have described
with perfect safety, provided all the
connections are tight. In winter the
tank takes off the icy chill from the wa
ter, and in Mr.. Young's plant the water
is drawn at a temperature of about so
degrees.

precipices, took, to burrowing in, the
earth they would be considered to be
making an intelligent effort at self
preservation. But the burrowing birds
are mainly species remarkable for their
power of flight, and could choose any
site they preferred to nest on. Even
the puffins can fly away to the Med
iterranean every year, and the king
fisher and sheldrake are both remark
able, the one for the velocity, fine other
for the sustained power, of it's travel
through the air. Sand martins, the
smallest of our swallows, and the
stormy petrels, the tiniest of web
footed birds, both choose to toll at
mining the earth for nesting place,
though both belong to families famous
for fight both over land and sea, and
neither has the slightest especial equip
ment for such arduous labor. Other
petrels, true ocean birds, and independ-
ent except at nesting time, of any ele-
ment but air and sea, burrow in the
earth by choice when the single egg is
to be laid. 1t is not even a successful
device. The capped petrol, now be-
lieved to be extinct, was killed off in
IT'S only breeding places, the islands of
Guadalupe and Dominica, largely be-
cause it did burrow, and so was easily
caught both by men and small carniv-
orous animals. Yet the zeal with which
such tiny birds as the petrels or sand
martins work at their tunnels shows
that they believe them to be a necessity
for success in life.
Early last spring freshly arrived
party of sand martins reached the
mouth of the river Otter, in Devon
shire, almost at the beginning of April!
and at once selected a bank just over he

The little birds were almost as tame
as bees; possibly they were ali young

tudes of Libya had not yet learned any
fear of man between the days of their
leaving and returning to the banks of
the Otter. They clustered and tiuttered
like brown moths against the red earth,
and competed for ''c.aims" with gentle
rivalry. Though they could hardly have
recovered from the fatigue of their
flight from Africa, their first thought
was to select q site for this abnormal
and unnecessary labor of excavation

A Former Kansas Mans Trick.

Jacob Spidell, who was killed few
days ago at Manchester, Oklahoma,
once lived in little town near Ness
City, Kan, and was one of the leaders
in the county seat fight. He thought
his town was going to win, and placed a
good-sized mortgage on property he
had. One of his children died, and
Spidell buried the child in the plot, and
prevented the mortgage company from
foreclosing it on the ground that it was
a burying ground. The company lost
the interest it had in the tract by Spid-
ellis shrewd trick.-Kansas City Star.

The accompanying model is spe-

bodice, and an elegant one. The yoke
is made of renaissance lace set over a
foundation of white silk, and the
sleeves are of the same material. At the
sides a short corsage of the lace fits
close into the figure and extends below
the belt line at the front.
The bodice proper is made of dark

The Care of Oak Furniture.

Oak furniture is better for being
rubbed with linseed oil, in which some
alkanet root has beer stepped, and then
brushed with brush stiff enough to get
into every creyice of the carving. Or
dinarily an application of beeswaN and
polishing cloths is sufficient, but the oil
and the root preserve the wood and keep
the furniture in excellent color and APP
pearance. The time-honored beeswax
and turpentine, used by our grandmoth-
ers for polishing furniture, is still as
good polisher as can be found.

PeDelli Brothers are arranging to resume sinking upon one of the prop critics of the Union Minera company at Prietas. The shaft close to the roaster, now down about POO feet, will be sunk to a depth of 600 feet, ex- pecting to cut the Creston vein, which pitches into this ground.
 By the best authority TIE OASIS is informed that arrangements have been completed to install at San Jose de Pimas powerful pumping plant and Jay a pipe line to Prietas and La Colorado. It is expected that the work will be completed by the New Year It will settle the water prob lem and be of great benefit to the camp.
 Last week Mir. J. H. Miller, the druggist at La Colorado, received a large shipment of the Lanphear mes- cal from Sinaloa, of which mention UdS bclOlt Dccu induC lu buCSC COi- umns. The mescal is made by an American by the most improved pro- cesses of distillatiou, and is stored several years before being put upon the market, It is p re and exquisite in bouquet, taste and flavor.
 Thursday evening of last week a very pleasant house party was given at the residence of Mir. and Mrs J. D. Murphy, at Minas Prietas, in honor of Mrs. Murphy, who was about eav- ing the camp for the summer. About thirty couples were present, compris- ing many of the most prominent young gentlemen in the camp and their fair seflortas. With fond recollection of the jolly times they have had in the Murphy mansion during the past winter-notably the St. Patrick's day ball and others--they all assembled with hearty good will to do the fare well honors t1 their good natured and warm hearted hostess The music was fine, everybody was in the best of spirits, and joy and merriment pre- vailed.

The Municipality of SogaIes. sonora.

The Municipality of Nogales, sonora.
 From one of the prominent citizens aud officials of NogaleS, Sonora, THE OASIS has recently learned some very interesting facts with reference to the "ayuntamento, or municipal government, of that place. The bulk of the revenues of the municipality come from large percentage of the GUS toms duties collected by the Mexican custom house, provision in the law giving the municipality II per cent of all collections. As the monthly collections are above 1000 the reve- nue of the town from that source amounts to more than Sl,00G per month between Sl2,OO0 and Sl5,0O0 per annum. Beside this there is a small property tax which yields about Sl ,000 per year Out of these revenues S6,000 are annually expended in sup port of the municipal schools, which are in excellent condition and care fully and effectively managed No gales is said to be the only munich pality in Sonora whose schools do net require and receive aid from the state treasury. The balance of the muni- cipal revenues are devoted to support ing the police force, lighting and cleaning the streets and general i'm provements of the town, each year seeing something substantial done. In this way the munic pal palace, the jail and two fine steel bridges have been constructed and. paid for, the streets partly graded, the park fenced and beautified, trees planted along some of the streets, and the arroyo partly walled. Other streets are yet to be graded, the arroyo entirely walled, and many other improvements are in contemplation which will be developed as the current expenses leave funds to be sp applied. Under the administration of the progressive and energetic gentlemen who are con ducting municipal affairs the city of Nogales, Sonora, is rapidly becoming one of the handsomest towns iu the entire state of sonora.
