During the last year there were land
entries filed in Arizona embracing Al =
422 acres, while in the some time en-
tries we're cancelled to the amount OF
81, 1862 acres. According to this there
are about 10000 more acres of public
land than one year ago, The large
amount cancelled, however, is the re-
suit of large acreage of desert land
being filed upon for speculative pur-
poses and then afterward relinquished.

HIGH TONED BOOK AGENTS.
Men Who Only Sell Volumes Worth
FB-s.n $50 to

There Is a distinct upper class of
book agents who never come in contact
with the general public" remarked
interested in art publications for a
number of years and know most of the
tiptop statesmen in TIE country. They
handle books that range from $50 to
5000 in price and only call on people
who figure on certain select lists. These
lists are the result of the cuttings of
years, and, combined. they represent
nearly all Of the high class hook buyers
Of the United States. Each publishing
house has its own collection Of names.
and they are valued highly.
Il call t. mind one firm that failed
and went out Of business several years

cred its very best asset. 1t was pur-
chased for something like s., 900. The

are printed in very limited editions,
and every refinement Of mechanical art
Is lavished on their preparation. Some
times the edition numbers only p or
80, and as scon as it is off the press the
type IS taken down and distributed.
The illustrations are frequently water
color paintings or artists proofs of
etchings, and it is quite common for

CLEVER MILITARY TRICK.
The StrataEem by Which Sir Francis
We're Defeated the Spanish.

When Philip II debated the question
of coercing with fire and sword the
Dutchman. who did not like the taxes
which they themselves did not vote, the
Duke Of Alva counseled violent meas
ures, for in his eyes the rebels were
only linen Of butter" Nevertheless be
found that these men, so fond Of cows
and hens, could hold his veterans at
bay, finally overcome them in the field,
and after 80 years leave poor Spain "a
broken backed tiger"
Indeed in time Of war country folk
with baskets of eggs and butter excited
no suspicion ~ to alert sentinels.
Taking advantage Of this fact, Sir
Francis We're determined to %recapture
from the Spaniards the Zutphen sconces,
or forts, by a stratagem. In 1891 he
picked out some lusty and handsome
young soldiers and dressed most OF them
like the Gelderland egg women and the
rest as Beers. With bundles of vegeta-
bles, baskets Of eggs and butter, but
also with daggeIs and pistols inside
their clothes, they were ferried across
the river by twos and threes. They sat
near the gate Of the fort. being already,
at the break Of day, chatting and ges-
ticulating, as II In some tremendous
argument about the rise or fall Of mar

Then, according to arrangement, We're
sent some cavalry forward, as II ap-

people ran In feigned terror toward the
fort. The gates were at once thrown
open to receive them. They all streamed
in, threw of their DISCUSSES, and In q
few minutes were in possession Of the
forts Of the town, where the gallant Sir
Philip Sidney afterward lost his life BY
being more rash and less sbrewd than

The old saying that a man may be a
hero to every one but his valet is called
to mind by an article in The Illustrated
London News on Famous Masters Of
the Ton>oriai Art" in which stories are
told of Duplan. the hairdresser to Napo-
leon. This astute ma made himself so
indispensable to the unfortunate Jose
phine and became st intimately ac-
quainted with the emperor's affairs that
he vas retained in the service Of the
imperial family when Josephine was
superseded by Marie Louise. He cared
for the hair of both the emperor and
empress. being paid 4. 900 francs a year
for service to the former and 5000 for

to write to a woman about disease unless

There is no qualltled woman physician

Even the "bearded woman" the mar
who advertises "write to a woman" is
not a qualified physician and stands too

Torpedo Boats.

The average distance of discovery Of
a torpedo boat by the searchlight from
a battleship has been calculated to be
ISL yards and the greatest distance
, 1000 yards. Thus. taking the distance
at which the torpedo can be fired with
effect at 500 yards it will be generally
found that a torpedo boat will have to
cross about 800 yards under fire from
the ship she is attacking, and it will
take the little craft about half a minute

To Increase Respect Tor the Flag.

The announcement that the navy
department is to send half dozen of
the smaller warships to the coast OF
Central America to establish a patrol
for the protection of the interests of
the citizens of the United States in that
part of the continent, is important and
gratifying The establishment of this
patrol is not meant as threat or a
menace to the Central American gov
ernments, but as a much needed re-
minder that the United States is a
great nation, possessing the disposition
and the power to protect it's Gown
rights and those of it's people. There
is TO part of the world where our flag
is not more respected and honored
than it is in these little republics. Too
long have outrages upon American
citizens been tolerated there without
any more action than mild protest
from this government. until some of
these petty states have evidently
reached the conclusion that they can
go safely to almost any lengths.
OF course, it is not possible, even
with warships to bring the Latin peo-
pie of the Central American states into
touch with the spirit of this govern
ment Their efforts in the direction of
Republicanism have not. so far, met
with great success, and revolutions

whose circumstances make change of
climate impossible. How many a suf-
