ARIZONA IN 1870.
PrOspectOrs and Ranchmen Carried

Their Lives i'm Their Hands.

1.-The Arizona of 1870" said William AL
pertson, of Spokane, at the Hotel Imperial
yesterday, was a country in entering
which the hardy prospector and equally
fearless ranchman literally carried their
lives in their hands. Phoenix and Tucson
were ten years away, and in that vast ex-
panse of sun-baked mountain and plains
the principal inhabitants were the yellow
rattlesnakes. white scorpions, tarantulas,
ella monsters, and, deadly as these loath-
some reptiles and insects are. more deadly
still the dread Apaches, who made the
mountain Businesses of the territory their
hiding places and retreats, from which
they made swift and murderous raids upon
outlying frontiersmen'S homes. Geronimo

tered and foul career to riot through un-

away days. Few or no army posts existed
there, and he who sought fortune in that
wilderness did so with the conviction that

OF his life. Every murderer and blackleg
who found the rest of the frontier too hot
to live in was sure of an asylum In that
desert, and between the deadly animal and
the deadlier human life it was country

Not Pleasant for the Tin Ladies.

New York Tribune.
There is horrifying suggestion that the
low, round neck and no collar corsage is
coming back. 1t is case in which woman
must be firm and unyielding. If ever. The
effect Of gown so cut can never be less
than atrocious. as it ''cuts" the neck line
in just the wrong place and destroys every
possibility of grace. The waist should be
cut as low as the shoulders in order 10
preserve symmetry or else reach the line
now customary, below the chin. The col
lar with ''ears" is, of course, monstros-
ity, but the fashion prevailing for several
years is the most tasteful that can be
devised. 1t may be that the threatened
round neck style is a tentative effort to-
ward the frankly low-necked gowns worn
by day as well as evening fifty years ago.
In that case Ii might De tolerated, but the
transition should be speedy. An ameliora-
ton, so to speak, of the round neck cut is
the transparent stock that may be worn
with it made Of lace, unlined. and with a
deep collar of the same that lies, yoke
fashion, over the shoulders.

Salad Observation-Disclosures her skiIiful

quoting Milton, on the occasion when her
hostess served this salad dressing: Beat
two eggs to yellow foam; add slowly
while still beating, half cupful Of granu-
lated sugar, two teaspoonfuls of English
mustard and one of salt previously
blended). One cupful OF vinegar is next
stirred in gradually, and a cupful of whip
ped cream added last. Cook in farina
basin until thickened. The addition of a
dash OF cayenne is often liked. Lemon
juice in place of the vinegar changes the
dressing delightfully."- for fruit salad. Far

dict of the epicure and dyspeptic alike,
upon trial. Either sweet or sour cream
may be used. Will keep well for weeks.
Dressing for Mixed Pickles.-Half pound
of English mustard, three cups of light
brown sugar, one cup of -four, moistened in
a small amount Of cold vinegar. Pour over
these ingredients three quarts of boiling
vinegar. If not thickened quite enough
leave upon the stove short time. stirring
constantly. This will be found an excellent
dressing for mixed pickles
Sauce for Meats.-If a simple sauce for
meats is desired. try this: Half cupful of
butter, beaten to a cream. add the yolks
OF two eggs, beaten separately the Juice
of half a lemon. pinch Of cayenne pepper
and half a teaspoonfUl of salt. Stir all the

New York Evening Post.
A very successful meeting was recently
held at New5uryport of the Massachusetts
State Federation of Women's Clubs, the
special subject being ARTS and Crafts and
Village Industries" The purpose was to
discover in what way the clubs could assist
the movement by organized effort. The
discussion was introduced by the chairman
of the committee, Mrs. Ada w. Tillinghast
who was followed by Prof. H. Sangford
Warren, of Harvard, with a paper on ''Arts
and Crafts" and by Mrs Mary Ware Den
nett with another on 1.-THE Relation of Art
to Manufactures" In the afternoon ses-
sion Mrs. Helen r. Albee spoke upon 'The
Abnakee. Handmade Rugs" Miss Margaret
c. Whiting on 1.-THE Deerfield Blue and
White Needlework, Rugs and Basket Max
ing and Miss Frances G. Sparhawk on
THE Indian InduStrieS-Lace, Rug and
Basket Making
The conspicuously interesting fact in con-
nection with this meeting is that women
have at last taken up the question, and
through the wide and efficient machinery
afforded by the club organizations. Women
having most to do with the character and
appearance of the homes and being for the
most part the purchasers, the solution of
the matter rests with them. Manufacture
ers are more or less obliged to follow the
indications of popular taste; they are
watching for it all the time. and 1t is MAIN
ly the lack of taste in the vast majority of
buyers that has lulled the manufacturers
into an indifference to artistic design and
ornament. Purchasers will buy anything
and everything provided it be cheap, and
the natural conclusion has been that 1t is
unnecessary to employ capital upon skilled
designers. The main thing is to make the
articles as snowy as possible, that the pur-
chaser may feel he or she is getting a great
deal for the price. On the other hand en-
terprise is the distinguishing characteristic
of American manufacturers, and it only
needs firmly announced and widely ex-
pressed demand for superior artistic quail
ties TO secure them. The matter rests with
the women.

A Mothers business.

New England Farmer.
1t is favorite idea of many good people
that woman's place is at home, and they
compliment woman by saying that she is
"such home body" or that she is $50 do
nestle" theoretically this is all right, but
the mother of growing girls and boys
should avoid being too much of home
body. Any one can wash their dishes or
make their beds. but who can tell as we'll
as mother where they ought TO spend their
time, or what company they should choose.
Fathers are too busy TO see this, and often
have not keen wit enough TO judge what is
best. 1 say this without any disrespect. 1t
is a mothers business, If she is not con-
frmed invalid, to go and come with her
young folks, be one of them and help to
guide them past dangerous places, and also
to show them how to get more enjoyment
from harmless amusements or systematic
studies. Young people naturally crave
mothers interest In their own affairs; see
that 1T is given before they become accus-
toned to do without 1t, or learn to shun it.

The Old Friends.

Where are they scattered now,
The old old friends?
One made her dwelling where the naples grow.
And mighty streams through solemn forests
flow;
Yet never from that pine crowned land of snow
A message sends.
Some meet me oft amid
Life's common ways,
And then, perchance. word or smile declares
That warm hearts throb beneath their load OF
cares,
For love grows on. like wheat among the tares
Till harvest day.
But some are fallen asleep
The words are sweet:
Oh, friends at rest beneath the blessed sod
My feet still tread the weary path We trod
Ere yet your loving souls went back to God:
When shall We meet?
Oh then. dvnest Friend,
When shall IL be
That may know them in their garments white:
And see them with new and clearer light
Mine old familiar friends-made fair and bright
Like unto Thee!

A Genius.

"Whew!' remarked the head of the

of the chief collector. "Who can the
rascal be? And all these people say that
they have paid and hold receipt ?"
Precisely. Some fellow has been 60
ing the rounds, and wherever my men
are sent they find that at least rs per
cent of the bills have been paid. He has
even collected a lot of bills that we
considered bad. He certainly must be a
villain of the deepest dye, sir, and I
have taken the liberty of notifying the
best private detective in the city"
Perfectly right. Send the detective
to me as soon as he puts in an appear
ance. We must find this villain. -
Half an hour later the head of the
firm and the detective were closeted to-
gether.
''Can you find him ?" asked the for
mer.
''Sure I'm satisfied now that know
who he is, and I'll have him inside the
bars before morning."
"Who's hiring you and who's going
to pay for your services?' %
"You, of course. .

work for me, offer him 5000. He has
