HETTY GREEN AT HOME.
Two Little Flats Shelter Americas
Richest Woman and Her
Husband.

"Hetty Green, The Richest Woman
in America" writes Leigh Mitchell
Hodges, in Ladies' Home Journal,
Elves modestly in two small fats in Il
brick block in Hoboken, \. j, There
are two electric push bells at the door,
under which one finds the name &C..
Dewey Mrs, Green prefers that the
public should not know where her
home is situated, and she uses this
name because her pet dogs name is
Dewey, and she commonly calls it
Cutie The parlor is in the lower
suite, and is little larger than a
good-sized closet. A couch, small
table and three chairs are the. fur
nishings, and the augmentation is
quite simple.
Mrs. Green is rapid ta1ter. Words
seem to come to her as easily as dol
lars. She is witty, too, and these
gifts, with her remarkable memory
and pleasant voice, make her an eX-
cellent conyersationalist. Her daily
routine is more severe than that of
any other living millionaire, perhaps.
She rises early, eats light breakfast
in the little dining-room of the Ho-
boken fiat, and hurries off to the ferry.
1t is only short distance from her
home to the slip, and she always
walks, be the weather what it may.
Her husband, Z. II. Green, who is sell
dom seen or heard of, is an old man,
almost On and snynaUhat of an in-
valid. The upper one of the two flats
is called his, and there, in plainly
furnished sitting-room, he sits day in
and day out while his wife is In New
York looking after her financial of
fairs. When she comes home in the
evening-it is always late-she some
times reads to him"

DESTROYING PESTS.
Growers in This Vicinity Disturbed
Over the Appearance of De-
atructiVe Insect.

Violet growers in this vicinity are dis
turbed over the appearance in consid-
cradle numbers of gall fly which at
tacks the fragrant viole: aud destroys
the plant if its ravages are not quickly
checked, says the New York Sun. Eu-
ropean florists have for many years
had war on their hands against vio-
let pests, but il is only within three
years or so that the American grower
has been trouble in this way. The
American violet destroyer is of the
same family as the European, but of a
different genus. 1t works in the same
way, secreting itself in the crown of
the plant. When the leaves come up
they are slightly curled and half
dozen or more OF the larvae are found
in each leaf, They seldom appear On
the side crowns, and these may be
used for plants, but their flowers will
not be as large as those from the CEN
ter crown. The insect has been re-
Gently classified by the chronological
bureau at Washington as Diplosis vio'
licola. 1t is about six-one-hundredth
OF an inch in length. Because OF the
difficulty Of destroying it without in
jury to the plant it is one Of the worst
Of the flower pests. The best remedy
is to pick off the leaves infected, al
though the larvae are also susceptible
to the hydrocyanic gas treatment.

DON'T KNOW HOW TO EAT.
nOth BeAuty and Health Are Lost TO
Women by Ignorance In
This Respect.

II women realized how important to
beauty is the food they eat they
would not be so careless as they noto-
riously are as to what they consume
and the manner in which they dine,
lunch and sup. A physician of large
practice declares that drink and hurry
and worry send most men TO the in
sane asylums, but love affairs, COM
bined with lack of food, throws most
Of the women off their balance. The
love affairs would have but little in
tiuence over them if they were prop
erly fed, but among the Illusions in
which girls and women indulge in is
that, as they care very little about
their food, so the lack of it cannot
have much effect upon them. They
rather despise men for being careful
TO have regular meals, whether busi-
ness presses or not, and are inclined
to vaunt their own superiority in such
respects. But il this disregard of the
natural instincts of hunger leads wom-
en- in the same path as drink and hur-
ry and worry" lead men, and II they
are to be humiliated and hypersensi-
tiveness in love affairs, how preemi-
nently does male common sense stand
out in the matter.

PROFITS IN MARITIME TRADE.
TYamp steamers Make More Money
Than the Finely Appointed
Ocean Liners.

II is a fact worthy OF note in Eng
lish maritime experience that the
great passenger steamship companies
are not those which are the most prof
table sea-goinB enterprises. The Lon
don Economist has recently given the
net profits for several OF these lines
for last year and the year preceding.
Thus the Cunard company paid in
dividends to its stockholders in the
year 1895 three and one-half per cent.
and in 1899 five per cent. The Royal
Mail paid in each of these two years
five per cent, and we imagine that, if
they had been given, the dividend
showings of the p. and 0. would not
have been greatly better than this.
The intimation is given that during
the present year PROFITS will be less,
for the reason that there has been n
great advance in the price of fuel suf-
tieient in a large company to almost
eat up low rate of dividend.
The tonnage that has proved most
profitable to British shipowners has
been that of the tramp variety, where
high speed is not an object, and where
it is not necessary to employ and pay
wages to those whose main duty il is
to tidy up the ship and polish the
brass work. There We're quite a mum.
her of these English tramp steamers
that paid last year to their owners 20
or 30 per cent dividend on the cost OF

income in shipping property has to be
set aside for depreciation and repairs,
but in the cases we have reference to
these dividends were earned and paid
after a seasonable amount had been
deducted to make good these two

lines. Stafford has developed an

miles from town the Lee boys
have three wells throwing a stream
two feet high from a four inch

near Pima has three good flowing
wells on his ranch. There are a
number of others making twelve
wells in all and the question of
artesian water near Stafford is set
tied for good and all.
The water found is generally st
depth OF 800 feet. At a depth
of thirty feet the clay bed IS 50
tenacious that casing is not needed
below that depth. The cost of
drilling is light and the results too
big with promise to dwell upon.
There is talk now of supplying
the town with artesiau water. A
well is being bored at Lindsay's
ranch, four miles from town and
the piping has been secured. Jack
Farrell IS promoting the scheme

The ice plant which supplies the

made are inadequate to supply the
demand. Some ice is sent to Globe

of the prosperous and solid apper
ance Of the town. Brick, to b'
sure lends itself grudglngly to ar
chitectual ends yet even the plain
est gable building set down in a
yard of luxuriant green grass sha
ed by beautiful trees, its Windows
trellised with climbing vines and
its white porch overrun witt
tangled creepers takes on an air
of prosperity and an appearance OF
humeincss dear to the human
heart. That is what constitutes
charm Of Stafford.
Nature has been most kind 4"
the dwellers Of the ella valley
While all over arizona there hN
been u disasteronS pinchng Of
water here the valley has been
kept green aud lovely, They wi
tell you of shortuess of water and
consequent hard ines bu the
land does not show it and the
crops are far above the average
Of an eastern farm.
To that same statement the busy
brick layers and carpenters give a
suitable answer. Within the towns
borders a half a dozen buildings
are under construction or nearly
finished. S. w. Price is building
three one story brick stores with
foundation laid for a big two
story building next season. Deel,
Johnson and Barry are putting up
a two story saloon and WIN. Klrt-
land has about finished q new up
to-date blacksmith shop. John
Sparks is building new brick
store. The Jones hotel, three
stories and of brick is now nearly
finished. In three weeks it will
be ready and then Stafford will
have the finest hotel in the valley.
