corson Clarke Failed to Appear.

Manager Wagoner, of Dake's opera
 house, as well as the people of Pres. colt, had a sort of confidence game played on them last night by the Harry Corson Clarke company.
 Mir. Wagoner had arranged for the appearance of Mir. Clarke and his full company and had advertised their ap- pearance extensively and the public purchased tickets expecting to see him and his company. It seems how ever, that Mir. Clarke came to the con clusion that he was too big an actor to play in Arizona and so left NIT. Wag- ner in the lurch, as well as disappoint- ing the audience, many of whom paid Sl.5O per seat expecting to see the star actor in "What Did Tomkins Do? Clarke's part was taken by Eli Blue, Yale '99," while the part Mir. Blue has in the play was cut out com pletely. Miss Truax also failed to ap- pear with the company, and her part in the Gilt Dog" play was also cut. The play was cut fully an hour in length.
 Neither Manager Wagner or the local manager of the opera house, of course, was responsible for this fraud perpetrated on the theater going peo- pie of Prescott and probably have no redress in the matter. The house was well filled with people who expected to see the play in full as well as to see Actor Clarke in his character of Colonel Tomkins. The curtain did not rise until S:30 o'clock and at 10 o'clock it fell in the last act.
 The Phenix Republican speaking of the production of the play in that city intimates that Clarke has become ashamed of the play, and assigns that as the probable reason for not appear ing before Arizona audiences, which are very critical.

Sunday Afternoon.

I perched myself within the forks or giant cottonwood That leaned far out above the strean By the side of which it stood. I let my book slide from my hands, A delicious quiet creeping Way down into the soul of me, Where the good of me was sleeping It was November, and the air Of fair Arizona $ cline Gave to my cheek its mothers kiss. And caressed this heart of mine. The spirit of God descending. From His kingdom high above, Had laid hand upon my leaves With wondrous touch of love. And my myriad little friends Donned their gorgeous fun'ra
 dress, And whisp'ring Goodbye" to my
 tree
 Dropped down willingly to rest. Now they are rustling on the sand As the breezes come along, Singing softly to themselves Natures saddest season song. Will, ger Gods hand upon me rest, Turn my hair from black to gray? Oh. show me some good work to do While on earth have to stayl

CONCERNING THE HAIR.

The encyclopedias regard hair fall. ing below the feet of women as extraor- dinary.
 Several years ago Miss E. J. Whitteni Topshsm, Me, was said to have hair eight feet in length.
 Marie Antoinette wore pompadour and rolls thrown back past her ears. Queen Anne wore side curls.
 A hair is a succession of cylindrical or elliptical horny cells. Curly or kinky hair is due to sudden breaks" in the regularity of the cellular success sion.
 samson's strength was attributed to his long hair. and his fate is charged up to Delilsh's shears. Absalom's wealth of tresses was the cause of his own death.
 In Egypt long hair was considered an encumbrance. It was feature of beauty among the Hebrews and Greeks. Roman ladies used artificial hair and set the pace for future coif- feurs.
 Peasant girls in the south of France cultivate and sell their hair as 8 regulaf business practice. Traders who at tend the fairs purposely to traffic in tresses frequently find hair five feet in length, but hair six feet long is very scarce.-San Francisco Examiner.

THE ANIMAL KINGDOM.

Canaries have been known to live 21 years.
 There are 10000 different kinds ot butterflies.
 Spiders are a serious plague in Ja. pan. They spin their webs on the tel; egraph wires, and are so numerous as to cause a serious loss of insulation. Sweeping the wires does little good, as the spiders begin all over again.
 Birds are great mimics. The song of the marsh wren bears the resem- blance to the gurgle of ripping water. The red-headed woodpecker repro duces the noise of the wood toad. In South America one bird initiates ex- actly the crackle of the limbs of the forest in which it lives.
 The Berlin museum of natural his tory contains 1,s0O,OO0 animal speci- mems, representing 100000 species. It is estimated that a total of more than 100000 living species has now been de- scribed, of which the insects number 2sO,OOO; birds, 13,OOO; fishes, 12,OOO; reptiles, $500; amphibians, 1900; arachnoids, 10000; mollusks, 5o,O00; worms, 5000.
 The possibility of the ostrich being used for a kind of two-legged saddle horse, as the natives of Abyssinia are said to have employed it, was demon strated at Pasadena, Cal, recently. A man not only mounted a full-sized male ostrich and rode 100 yards on its back, but also had a photographer take picture of him on his feathered steed
 At the recent scientific conference at Munich, Prof Chun exhibited the results of the German deep-sea expe- dition. Some of the fish found at a depth of about 10000 feet resembled, he said, the fossil species in the rocks of the Mesozoic era, when the earth's atmosphere was dense with carbon. These fish in many cases had special means of collecting light. Some pos sessed enormous eyes, occupying near ly the whole side of the head, and some were supplied with telescopic organs. Others carried their light on their heads in a manner similar to that of the glowworm.

A Welcome Rain Storm.

A very welcome rain storm put in an appearance last evening. Rain commenced falling very gently about half past nine. It was only a sprinkle but each drop, as it fell, seemed like a drop of gold, so long has been the drouth. It continued falling nearly all night, increasing to a gentle shower, and every drop that fell was eagerly taken up by the parched and thirsty soil. It has continued to fall at intervals during the day. While the total precipitation has not been heavy it has all gone into the ground, and coming just at this time, when the rainy season is supposed to set in, it has given hope and encouragement that we may be blessed with a wet winter

Human Race Depenerafing.

Dr. J. H. Kellogg, surgeon ii charge, and chief of the Battle Greek sanitarium, lectured at Stanford uni versity recently on college athletics Dr. Kellogg introduced statistics showing that the human race is de generating at a rapid rate physically
 Lmacy, he said, had increased 300 per cent. Modern civilization" he said, ''does much to increase the phy- sical degeneration of people, who are getting wiser, but weaker 4 great majority of people, and especially students, have curvature of the spine"
 Continuing. he said that many foot ball men were not physically strong because they broke of training so suddenly at Thanksgiving. Study does not hurt anyone, he said, but it is sitting so long in one position.
