The importance sf Breakfast.

Sallie Joy White contributes to the
April Woman's Home Companion an
essentially practical article on '1The
Breakfast Hour" in the course Of
which she says. "a teacher in one of
the large city schools says that il any
of her pupils complain of headache
during the morning, or are peevish
and hard to get along with. the first
question she asks is if proper break
fast has been eaten. II she finds it
has not, she sends the pupil for
luncheon. She also advises the moth
ers of her pupils that when child
shows little disposition fer breakfast
the mother should see that it is sup
piled with q luncheon to carry to
school to eat at the recess period. I
don't know how many housekeepers
l have heard say that the meal they
most dreaded was breakfast. They
knew what to have for dinner. and
could get up a dainty tea or appetiz-
ing luncheon, but they never knew
what to get for breakfast. | always
think these housekeepeB either must
have very little originality or must be
too indolent or Indifferent to think
things out. There may be just rs
much variety in the breakfast as in
any other meal"

AN E0C.EATINC SNAKE


Now. how does it manage to get down
its throat such thing as ducks egg,
not only SO much larger than itself, but
also hard and perfectly smooth? We
know that a common snake is aided in
swallowing a toad by its hooGlike teeth,
which hold the prey while the upper
and lower jaws glide over it alternate
" and thus push it backward. Lizards,
boas, the Heterdon of Madagascar, ETC..
are said to place the egg of a canary
or other small bird, that is--against am
irregularity of the ground or within
one of their own folds, which enables
them to ram it into their mouths.
In case of our ''dasypeltis" and its
ducks egg. however, these explains
tions do not suffice. this genus being
destitute of true teeth. We can, there
fore, only suppose that a couple OF
membraneous folds. which have been
discovered, one on each side of its
mouth. lay hold of the shell like cup
ping glasses and thus work it into the
throat.
But here we meet with another diff
Guilty. After the egg has passed be-
tween the prodigiously distended jaws
and upper esophagus. it would seem as
If it's bulk and solidity. when lodged in
a comparatively inelastic part of the
digestive tubes, whose juices are un-
able to dissolve the shell. must quickly
prove fatal to the animal. 4 remark
able instance of natural adaptation il
afforded by the manner in which thix
danger is provided against. The
snodon. as already observed, has no
true teeth. So-called gular teeth, how
ever, are present, these being really the
tips of the long inferior spines of the
first eight or nine vertebrae, protrud-
ing through the esophageal wall.
When the shell is broken by the gular
teeth it is elected and the fluid passes
into the stomach.-Popular Science.

AMMUNITION wRIsTLETs.


The army ordnance officers ara
greatly interested in . new device for
carrying cartridges. The board Of
ordnance and fortifications has recon-
mended that the chief Of ordnance be
authorized to accept 5000 ammuni-
tion wristlets, invented by Thomas C.
Orndorn, Of Worcester, Mass. The
agrees to use this number
at once in packing 100000 cartridges
for immediate shipment to such
points as win bring them into actual
use. Mr.. Orndorfs offer is made
without expense to the government
for the purpose Of experimental trial.
The ammunition wristlet is fabric
to encircle the forearm and hold 20
cartridges. 1t weighs Of itself less
than one-hah an ounce. II the ammu-
milton il issued in the wristlets, two
could be placed on the arm without
Inconvenience, and, if Il were neces-
sary to take more, they will fold and
make . small package that could be
slowed in the pocket without irrita-
ton. If the soldier In ordered to ad-
vance or retreat, his ammunition goes
along the same AZ though it were in
his belt, and, IL there il . lull in the
engagement. the cartridges can be
Transferred to the belt and the wrist
let thrown away. It costs but q few
eents-not ~ much - some clips that
hold but i've cartridges.
The value Of the wristlet, however,
II not ended when It is empty. While
every precaution II taken to furnish
the soldier with material for cleaning
his rife, he il often without it in the
field. BY tearing the band apart It
can be used for this purpose. It il
strong enough to use as . temporary
bandage in case Of : slight wound, or
even as tourniquet in case of . se-
rious wound.-Baltimore Sum.

ARTISAN WATER
Progress of Its Development on the
 San Pedro.

A correspondent, writing to the Tue son Citizen, says: "St David bids fair to become one of the most profitable agricultural points in southern Arizona. The efforts made to secure artesian water have, for the most part, been successful and a large number of wells are flowing. The valley looks delightfully."- green and the drouth does not bother those who have been for tunate enough to secure an artesian flow of water. One rancher has nine wells which supply water for 160 acres of land. The water rises forty feet and overfiOws a pipe of this height which has been placed in one of the wells here. The water is stored in res ervoirs and carried to the land in ditches. Prospecting is going on now and more wells will no doubt be de- veloped.
 'There is decided artesian tendency all over the valley. There is small settlement of M0rmons at St. David, progressive and industrious ranchers, who have built up substantial homes and made a profitable occupation of ranching. The valley is settling up fast.
 This week an outfit camped at St. David which attracted considerable in- terest. There were twenty-five men and fifty horses and mules. The men were all Mormons who came overland from Utah and were on their way to South America. The party comprises professors and students of a normal educational institution who are making scientific researches. They will explore the ruins of Mexico, examine the aban- doned ruins and engage in natural re- searches. They have left here and gone down the valley to Nogales.
 "The professors spsnt several days here and were very much interested in the flowing wells. They will embody a description of the valley in their report and bring marvellous richness of this region to the eyes of the world"

ILL-REWARDED FAITH
In the Honesty of the Whole Hu-
 man Race.

Last Sunday night General C. NJ. Frazier went home and acted as if he believed that the millennium had come; that all men were at peace with each other and working under the golden rule. He turned on the electric light in a front room which was barred against the outside world only by , screen door which had no other fasten- ing than the spring that closes it auto matically against flies and mosquitos which have not yet heard of the golden rule. The general ostentatiously wound his expensive gold watch and put it back into the pocket of his vest, which he had hung on the back of a chair. About that time he was filled with curiosity regarding his cash account. He took out his pocketbook, counted it's contents, and to the best of his recollection believes there was about SEQ in gold and some silver. He has since had no opportunity to verify his calculation or to ascertain by his watch the precise time he made 1t.
 While all this was transpiring, two gentlemen, the general believes they were gentlemen, of aesthetic taste, by vidence which will be hereinafter intro duced, were watching him from under the dropping leaves of two palm trees in the front yard. Their presence there at that time is somewhat supposftious, but supported by certain circumstantiaI proof which will be adduced in due time.
 Having ended this advertisement of
 
 to worldly affairs, the general investe< himself in a nightshirt, turned out the lights and removed to a cot as far as possible from the building in order that he might not be affected by the radiation from the brick walls.
 Yesterday morning General Frazier found his trousers under one of the palm trees. He found no watch. no pocJ,etbook and no $75 Mystic Shrine badge which he had the night before. He subsequently, discovered that a trunk had been broken open and there was missing from it two boxes of cigars and a pair of gold trimmed spectacles. Most of the cigars were found scattered about on the ground under the palm trees. It is this circumstance that makes the general think his callers were persons of highly cultivated tastes. for he smokes pretty good cigars himself. It was this disdain of the ci- gars that hurt the generals feelings more than anything else.
 The robbery was probably commits d in the dark, for the plunderers over looked valuable ruby. another purse containing some more money, and Knights Templar charm. As it was, though, the haul, exclusive of the ci- gars, was worth about $500.

RED PIPKIN RELEASED
Gives a Bond of $1,000 Which Is
 Approved by Judge Doan.

On Monday Dan Pipkin, alias Red"
 Pipkin, was released from jail on a bond of $1,OOO, which was approved by Judge Doan, says the Bulletin. The
 bond was signed by Monte Slaughter
 A HI. Pratt and c. V. Peery, all of
 bond was a letter from the treasurer of Apache county testifying to the fact
 that the three men on the bond were worth over SS,O00. This is the third at
 tempt to release Pipkin on bond, but each time some flaw has been found in
 the instrument, which had to be sent back to Apache county for correction. |, Red Pipkin first made his appearance in Graham county in July, 1898. when he joined Bronco Bill and Johnson on Black river and participated in the fight with Scarborough and Milton
 when Johnson was killed and Bronco Bill wounded in the shoulder. Red" played an important part in that fight.
 After his horse was shot from under him and Johnson lay groaning on the ground, he ran back to help him to the top of the hill amid a perfect hail of bullets. Johnson was helpless and could not use his legs. Pipkin then left
 him and ran on foot to the top of tl,e hill and disappeared. This fight oc- cured during the first days of August, 1898. In September he appeared at Eampson's ranch on Eagle creek and helped himself to three horses, at
 the same time threatening the lives of Joe Terrel and E. A. Von Arnim.
 rflS a in Colorado and taken back to New Mex
 ico where he stood trial for train rob bery and beat the case. When he was ! turned loose Sheriff Clark of Graham
 county was on hand and he arrested him for stealing horses from the Hamp- son ranch. At the last term of court his bond was fixed at $1,00O which was given yesterday.
