the reason that the conditions Of soil, irrigation and climate combine to produce an uncommon variety and amount of marketable produce. The soil of Arizona, as is usual with the soils of arid regions, rich in tho elements Of f6rtili- ty, requiring only the ever-neeGful water, skill and industry in their management to secure abundant returns. The fertility of cultivated soils in irrigated regions is further assured by the deposite Of silt brought upon the land with irrigation water. The problems of fertilization, which become so serious in humid sections are therefore of much less importance here and not to be so carefully recl1oned with in connection with the future of our agriculture.
 The most marked advantage in connection with agriculture and horticulture, especially in to June the temperature resembles that of spring and early summer in the latitude of Ken lucky. From June to September the climate is Of subtropieal fervor, while from September to November there is a second mild season Of tenn perate weather. The winter season. from Nov ember to January, though subject to sharp frosts in southern Arizona, is not seriously or even uncomfortably cold.
 Owing to this combination Of seasons 6 re markab!e variety of crops may be found ir the same locality at different times of the year. Strawberries, which flourish in Greenland, may be found on the same land with dates and palms from Sahara. Alfa,ta, the great forage of the arid West, f1ourishes alongside with wheat, corn. and sorghum, respectively characteristic of Minnesota, Illinois, and Kansas. Oranges, lemons and olives from California may be found in the same neighoOrhood with peanuts and sweet potatoes from Virginia In brief, many of the leading crops of both temperate and sub. tropical countries, which arc not affected by too arid atmosphere or by the frosts of winter flourish in southern Arizona. In northern ArI.
 zona, where the temperatures more resemble ! those of northern Illinois, many of the more dis
 tinctively temperate region crops flourish. 'Such | as potatoes. apples, and various small fruits. When, with this diversity of products is
 coupled a healthful, and for the most Of the year
 agreeable. climate, it will be seen that agricul. 1 turaI in Arizona possesses distinct advantages

THE KING A MENTOR.

NEW YORK, May A cable to the

termination TO abolish the lax system
which grew up under his mother The
King has dug up from some forgotten

Edward has had framed and placed in
a prominent position in the castle.
Here are the rules:
"Profane no Divine ordinance.
Touch no state matters. Urge no
health. Pick no quarrel. Maintain no
ill opinion. Encourage no vice. Re-
peat no grievances. Reveal no secrets.
Make no comparisons. Keep no bad
company. Make no long meals. Lay
no wagers. These rules observed will

THE DUTY ON
LAVA ROCK
The Material il Now Coming Into
General Use on the
Mainland.

NEW YORK, May "A decision has
been made by the board of classical
ton of the United States general APP
praisers upon an important, but not
generally understood import. 1t was
relative to the status of lava rock I'm
der the present tariff. The lava rock
in question was hewn and squared, and
the collector in San Francisco assessed
duty of so per cent ad valorem I'M
der the provision for other building
stone, hewn." The importer, the Giant
Power Company, protested, claiming a
lower duty under one of four different
classifications.
The board overrules the protest, and
in rendering this decision reverses a
previous decision of its own, which had
been affirmed by the United States Cir
cult Court for the Southern District of
New York. General Appraiser Fischer,
who wrote the opinion for the board
in the present case, says that at the
| time of the previous case was heard
no evidence was submitted to show
that lava rock was used for building
stone anywhere in the United States.
In the present case, however, the tes-
timony submitted proved concIusiveIy
that lava rock is now used largely for
building purposes in this country.

CHINA MAY ASK
A YANKEE LOAN
WI Ting Fang and New York
Financiers Are Con

NEW YORK, May "a special to
the Herald from Washington says:
American capitalists may be asked by
| the Chinese government to subscribe
| to the loan it will have to negotiate to
pay the indemnity to be exacted by the
powers.
| WI Ting Fang, the Chinese minister,
and New York financiers have been In
communication on this subject. The
communications are entirely unofficial
and have therefore been kept very
| quiet. Nevertheless, it has developed
that the idea has been Iavorably re-
ceived in New York. 1t is, of course,
! impossible to say what the outcome
will be, as international politics will
! have an important influence upon the
placing of the loan, but intelligent
| Chinamen favor obtaining subscrip-
lions from the United States.
The Chinese government is we'll
| aware that provided the open door
j, be conceded the United States at this
| moment would not go beyond formal
l protest in case of the division of Chi
| ma. The situation would be changed,
however, if Chinese bonds valued at
| millions of dollars, were held by Am
erican capitalists.
All that the Chinese minister has
| done has been to make inquiries, and
| iLciiCdil udNS given Gil
dication of what they are willing to
do. The loan will be very large-Spe-
cial Commissioner Rockhill has cabled
| to the State Department that the min
| listers had agreed upon 1887 900, 900, but
he is still trying to secure reduction
of this amount--but the lower it is the
easier it will be for China and the
better the terms upon which she can
| negotiate it.
Foreign representatives in Picking
will undoubtedly bring strong pressu (
to bear in behalf of the placing of the
loan in their respective countries. Mr..
Rockhill is not expected, however, to
join in such movement. Tt is within
the range of possibilities that China,
in order to satisfy all the powers, may
decide to place in each country loan
equal to the indemnity due that par
ticular nation. In this event the share
of the United States will probably be
less than $40, 100000, and perhaps only
12,500,000 in case its proposal for each
power to reduce it's indemnity should
be adopted.

who had the remotest conception of

newspapers, with the exception of the
Chicago Tribune, agreed to syndicate
the work and put it all in this one
mans hands. The Tribune refused to
enter the combination and depended
upon the exertions of member Of its
own staff But the Tribune reporter
speedily realized his helplessness and
appealed to his brother Of the syndicate
for aid. The latter obligingly handed
over his copy, and the Tribune man set
to work to make few minor changes
so that its kinship to the original should
not be too apparent. Later In the
evening he met his generous bene-

In olden times fingers served well

and a divided gourd was an acceptable

their hair, of which they had gener-

skewers, and out OF the bamboo they
manufactured knives. The Indians,

ways, still eat without knives or forks,

Of spoons These were first made Of

handles were inserted, and, having
passed numerous stages, knives, forks

Few more wonderful adaptations are
seen in the whole round of nature
than the webs spiders spin to entrap
the wary ant. They are not high hung,
lacy affairs, caressing every breeze, but
low set, silken tubes stretched in the
grass, the crevices Of rock or about
tree roots. Ants Of every size creep
heedlessly into them. The spiders. eat
them with relish, but occasionally a
very little spider and very big ant
engage in duel to the death. If the
spider can bite, the ant can sting, and
does 1t with right good will. The
spider does not try to get rid of such an
ant as he does of a wasp or bee too
strong to be safely attacked. Such an
insect, which threatens destruction to
the web, is often cut out of it by the
web builders. The entangling cables
are not loosed, but the web rays neatly
shipped in two, first those underneath
and at the very last the highest fla

captive means destruction to half the
nest But some spiders are wiser than
some people. They know not merely
when they have enough, but when they
have too much.
