A shock For Carlyle.

Thackeray once told Sir John Millais
this amusing story Of Carlyle:
He had spent a day in the reading
room of the British museum and had
given great deal of trouble to one OF
the officials, sending him up and down
ladders in search of books to satisfy
his literary tastes, and on leaving the
room he had gone up to the man and
told him that it might be some salts
faction to him to know that he had
obliged Thomas Carlyle The official
hesitatingly answered him, with o
bland smile and the usual washing OF
hands in the air, that the gentleman
had the advantage of him, but that
probably they might have met at some
mutual friends house. He had never
heard of Thomas Carlyle.

The first case Of black rain which
comes under review occurred at Ora
Jamestown and the surrounding dis
trict In August, 1883, and 1t extended
over an area of no less than $50 square

then there have happened several
showers Of similar description, but
less pronounced in their sable charac-
ter. Other showers of black rain have
been recorded In Ireland. one OF which
was felt over an area OF 400 square
miles.

Water.

The body needs internal as well as
external baths to keep it healthy. To
give the body an internal bath drink
plenty of water. Two quarts should
be taken each day.. beginning with a
glass just after rising and ending with
a glass just before retiring. If you
are inclined to stoutness, do not drink
during meals or within half hour be-
fore or after them. If your complexion
is bad, nothing is more conducive to a
cure than drinking water either hot or
cold, but preferably the latter.-New

In the bucket were two pieces of slag to give it the desired weight. Paul was pround of h!s present and intended to take il to Pres rott and have lots of fun with it, but unfortunately left the thing in the car at Jerome junction. Our delegates Were a good lot of oitizens ani made good impression at the convention.
 W. C. Miller Manager of the T. F. Miller company store returned from Los Angeles this morning. Mrs. Miller re- mained there with Mr, MIllar's parents. She was not very well in Jerome. and will try the climate of Los Angeles for . month OF two.

The members "f the Jerome club are sparing no effort to make the event the most successful ever held in Arizona. The boys say they have ordered live birds by the train load from Kansas.

She Is the envy of the neighbors and delights in the fact. When old "Bossy' raises her head and bawls out her dis approval of being forced into her pres ent position, the children all run out to zee the novel sight. The milkman looks at the COW in disgust every time he passes, and has already offered Mrs Brown twice the value of the COW just to get the bad example cut of sight of the balance of his customers When Mra. Browns little son goes out amohg his acquaintances with genuine cream sticking tO his face. and tells the children what he had in his mush. there Is always a howl set up by the Otlia: children to persuade their mothers l. buy them q COW. The mlkmen h&t better buy that COW and take her out ot town or thsy are ruined.
