Wished She Hadn't.

A yonng lady attending church
Sunday evening sat directly behind a
tall, handsomely dressed gentleman
with a piece of rayeling hanging
over his collar. Being one of those
generous hearted, whole souled girls
who grow to motherly old ladies, a
friend to rybody in town she
thought how glad she would be if she
could do SO much for her father if he
should come to church with ravel-
ing hanging down his back, SO when
the audience arose for prayer she con-
cluded to pick ii off. Carefully rails
ing her hand she gave it a little
twitch, but there was more than she
supposed and foot or two of it APP
peared. Setting her teeth she gave
another yank and about yard of that
horrid string hung down his back.
This was embarrassing, but being de-
termined she gave it another yank
and found that she was unraveling
his undershirt. The gentleman turn
ed around to see what tickled his
neck and the girl looked like thirty
cents.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro
nounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure it with local
treatment pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be "A
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.

 that distinguish other towns. For example, the damage done every year in such cities as Chicago Cincinnati. Pittsburg. Cleveland and St. Louis by the soot and smut from h- luminous coal must be reckOned by the hundreds of thousands of dollars. and 1t all must come out of the inhabitants of those places. The smoke cf mes- quite Is damaging only to the nostrils and involves no dollars, only some scents. A London fog. too, is an ex- pensve as well as unpleasant luxury. This winter the fogs have been un- usually frequent and dense and sta- tisticians are again figuring cut what they cost the city. Estimates of the cost of q fog of eight hours run from s2j0. 900 to $500. .0c0. the greater part of which is caused by the extra use of gas and ele strictly.

ellss constant reliance: "A Hazard of New Fortunes" "A Modern Instance" " Aforc gone conclusion," The Quality of Mercy"--these are apt titles. well found. 'The Lady of the AroostOok" and ''The Rise of Silas Lapham" belong in the category of names whose appro- priateness becomes apparent only in the light of the story itself Maarten Martens, too. has not applied in vain to the worlds poet. "The Greater Glory" was the only title for his book of that name.
 At the present moment the inventive ness of authors and publishers in the matter of titles seems to be at low ebb A minor English novelist. Mir. Er- nest William Hornung, is remarkably buslness-like in his methods: "A Bride from the Rush." "Irralie's Bushranger" 'The Boss of Taroomba"-these are unmistakab.e titles for Australian nov els: Dead Men Tell No Tales" is alike explicit and suggestive of endless pos- abilities and the work of which he promises to become best known Is des- ignated "The Amateur Cracksman." Mir James M. Barrie has been felicltous with My Lady Nicotine." Tommy and Grizer' was. of course, the best ti- tie, commercially, that could be found for the sequel to sentimental Tommy" but it was obvious, and, therefore, de- serves no praise. MT. Zangwi,l has a good title in "The Mantle of Elijah:" Mrs. Dudeney's The Maternity of Har- riet Wicken." and Mrs. Voynich's "The Gadfly" have something in them to attract attention; MT. Eden Phillpots titles are not particularly felicitous; MT. Anthony Hopes are adequate, but no more, and Mir Stanley J. Weyman evidently gives but scant attention to the names of his masterly historical novcCs. They, with the possible excep- ton of Under the Red Robe." give no intimation of the nature of the stories that bear them.
 Mrs. Humphrey Wards titles are buiit after the old. unassuming method of Scott, and Dickens and Thackery; and several of our recent successes carry on the tradition; David Harum" "Rl,hard Carvel," Janice Meredith" "Eben Holden" To offset these, how ever, we have, "To Have and to Hold" "Prisoners of Hope" When Knight hood Was in Flower" and "The Re demption of David Corson," of which the last was the best. so far as the in formation given by it Is concerned. while Miss Johnson's Is the most at tractive.

official statistics of the production of the precious metals are always a year
 behind. but the Wells THE Fargo company keeps q PRECIOUS record of the production METALS. in the area of North
 America west of the Mis- and the results for 1900 have been published. We hardly appreciate the wealth that Ccnes annually from the mines Of this region. Last year 1t amounted to almost s230. 900. 900, an in- crease Of more than s100, 900, 900 over that of 1890. This includes over $1S.- 900 of copper. the rest being gold and silver. Of the total about s30. 900, 900 was produced in British Columbia and the Yukon territory, S.00O.0o0 in Alaska. and the rest in our Rocky mountain and Pacific coast states. The total yield of gold in the whole region was s99, ,1O07S3, out of an output for the entire world calculated to be about s236. 900. 900. or s6s.OOO, ,O0O less than in 1899. There was a decrease of $6,00O,- 900 in Australasia. and the rest of the loss was Chiefly due to the Beer war in South Africa. On this continent there was a gain of s9,OOO.OOO. The value of the silver product in the same American area was s42. .4O2, ,5O2 and that has become a less important product than copper. With reference to the annual production of gold, 1t is always to be remembered that it Is cumulative as that article is nct destroyed by use, but Is constantly changing Its form. How old some of 1t may be no man can reckon.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA, FEBRUARY 1, 1901.

The assembly yesterday was on the point of adjourning for arbor day and
 but for the timely in ARBOR reference of Mir. Fow- DAY. Ter. that body would be
 engaged this morning in planting trees. believing that the fiscal arboricultural year had begun. Next Friday. though. is the official time for setting out vines and fig trees. It was designated some years ago by an inspired Arizona legislature to whom the impossibiHty of fixing a day which could be observed throughout the whole territory whose simultaneous seasons are as widely divergent in character as possible does not seem to have been apparent. The legislators who agreed upon the first Friday after the first day of February" were then sitting in Phoenix, and were probably lulled by the balmy and forward sea- son of the Salt River valley into a forgetfulness of Arctic Arizona.
 
 Perhaps, on the other hand, they were aware that trees could be planted only in Maricopa and Yuma counties at this period. but in the face of the organic act they dared not establish one day for one county and another for another. So they cloaked special leg islation on that subject, as it Is done on others They fixed an Arbor day appli- cable to Yuma and Maricopa alone and left the observance of it in other coun- ties to the will of the people. The law establishing Arbor day requires that trees shall be planted in Flagstaff carly in February under the alternative pen- alty that they must be planted there at some other time. else the recalcitrant Fiagstafiians shall be deprived of the shade and fruit of them.

NAMING OF BOOKS

In these days of the making of many books, notably novels. the increasing difficulty of finding good, strong, at tractive titles is preoccupying the minds of busy authors ,and still more, perhaps. those of the hard-worked lit erary advisers of the publishing houses.
 The title must fit the book. of course; but when . title Is found that, while appropriate. arouses curiosity or inter- est on it's own account, perfection is reached in a difficult field. It Is not perhaps too much to say that one-half of the English and American novelists of the past and present have lacked this form of inventiveness. George Eliot did not possess the gift, neither did Dickens nor Thackery. Vanity Fair" being the exception that proves the rule in the latter case. as "A Ta'e of Two Cities, and perhaps Hard Times and Barnaby Rudge" on ac- count of it's ruggedness in that of Dick ems. George Eliot made one deliberate attempt. 1t would appear, and failed--in ''The Impre ssions of Theophrastus Such"
 Successful titles may be roughly di- vided into two classes-the absolutely and the relatively good. The former arrest attention even before the book is read: they give full promise of what the prospective reader is to expect. but the book must fufil the promise thus made. The appropriateness of the rel ativcly good title Is only recognized after the book has been read "A Win, dow in Thrums" is an example of this relative merit of titles, and so is "Un- leavened Bread"
 Thesc titles are excellent because they at once arrest attention and arouse curiosity. Charles Reade, too. had this knack. apparently so simple, Foul Play" A Terribee Temptation" White Lies" "A Woman Hater," and Hard Cash" were titles well calculated to extract the sfllings from the pockets of a public avid for entertainment.
 James Fenimore Cooper is another author who must not be overlooked in the honor list of novelists with tl- ent for titles, his having the added ad- vantage of being admirably simple. 'The Last of the Mohicans." Path finders" Leather Stocking Deer sayer," "The' Spy,"-how directly these titles must have spoken to the readers of his day and generation. There was no mistaking their meaning and the promise they gave was conscientiously kept.
 There are fashions in titles and some of them persist. Greenes' "Phi,omela' "The Lady Fitz Waters Nightingale" and "Morando, the Tritameron or Love-" of Elizabethan days. find their successors in Miss Rosa Broughton's Red as Rose is She" Alas! Not Wisely. Br. Too Well!' and In that undercurrcnt of minor fiction in which shone The Duchess with "Beauty's Daughters. Molly Bawn" and Airy. Fairy Li.ian." which reaches low water mark in such inventions as Sweet Sin" "Oh, What Plague Is Love-" and all thelr kind

An Unexpected Retort.

An eminent Americn lawyer,
now deceased, was sadly given
to intoxication. On one occasion
he entered a church whilst a
minister was holding forth on
the future punishment of the
wicked.
Fixing his eys upon the law
yer, who was reeling near the
door, the preacher exclaimed
There stands sinner against
whom l will bear witness IN the
day of judgemedt."
At this the lawyer folded his
arms, planted himself as firmly
as he could, and addressing the
man in the pulpit, he electro
fed the whole congregation
after this fashion:
"Sir, l have been practicing in
the criminal courts for twenty
ears, and l have always found
that the greatest rascal is the
first to give States evidence. y
