AS the nerves of our nostrils are so
little protected, they are very delicate
and sensitive. and when we take snufr
all the nerves in the body are affected
in sympathy. In consequence, snuff
taking, like smoking. has a narcotic
effect upon the brain, and naturally
acts upon the intelligence. Thus it
can easily be seen that it weakens the
memory. II we were to use it only
as q medicine or an occasional slim
ulant, there would be some advantage
in using it. II used constantly 1t in
flames the nostrils, and may produce
an incurable polypus. To those who
make blood quickly, or. are feeble, or
suffer from ulcers, nothing can be
more p%rejudicial. Snuff takers have
generally weak sight. In short, 1t is
a most pernicious habit, and one that
ought to be fought vigorously.

Inebriety Is an !.cc-ir-d. Not q Heredi-
tary, Disease.
The drunkard can nc longer lay his
inebriety to bibulous ancestors. The
man who drinks to cannot
claim public indulgence on the theory
that he inherited a taste for alcoholic
stimulants from his parents. A crav-
ing for drink, in fact, cannot be rams
mitted from parents to children.
These are the conclusions of a COM
mittee on inebriety selected by the
London Medical Society to investigate
the relation of heredity to inebriety.
The committee was composed of five
physicians, two surgeons, a professor
of b~acteriology, an army surgeon and
five general practitioners. After
eighteen months of investigation OF all
phases of drunkenness under all sorts
of conditions and environments the
committee has made a report which
completely upsets many Of the favorite
notions of temperance reformers and
sociologists.
If a man having no Unborn tendency
to excess, yet acquires drunken habits,
his progeny are no more in danger
than are those of his neighbor, says
the report. The whole question of
drunkenness Is a matter of environ
ment and an innate capacity to enjoy
the exhilaration hat comes from alco-
holic indulgence. 1t is not denied that
drunken parents who become thus
mentally and physically weak are liza
BILE to have children weak in body and
feeble in mind. But instances Of in
ebriated fathers having sons who
found no pleasure in alcoholic indul-
gence are numberless.

For the purpose of making expert

raw silk. 1t is the belief of the promo

farmers and that eventually the in
dustry will be conducted there and in
the west on extensive lines. The SCI
ence of raising silkworms is most In

of a moth and may be regarded as
truly domesticated showing no desire
to escape from confinement II kept sup
piled with food. The eggs Of the silk
worm are nearly spherical and about
the size of turnip seeds. Each female
produces on an average from 300 to 400
of them, about 20, 900 making an ounce
in weight. The eggs. when about to
hatch, are spread out on clean paper
thinly, and over them are laid small
pieces OF ordinary mosquito netting,
over which are scattered a few finely
cut mulberry leaves. The newborn
worms at once pass through the
meshes of the net in search of food.
and the whole can be easily removed
to the place where they are to pass the
first stage of their existence. When
at length the worms begin to lose ap-
petite and throw out silk, 1t is time for
the grower to construct little arches
of twigs between the shelves for the
spinning of the cocoons When this
has been done the worms promptly
mount into the branches and begin to
spin. Care has to be taken to prevent
any two or three Of them from making
a double or treble cocoon, which would
be unfit for weaving.

ASKED TO RECONSIDER

Columbia, S. c., June 1.-Governor
McSweeney has rejected the ~resigna-
lions of Senators Tillman n McLau-
rim, to give them time to reconsider
their action.
In returning the designations Cover
NJ McSweeney, in part, writes:
Il respectfully return your resigna-
tons, that you may have time for Sc
riOus consideration of the effect upon
the people of this state of this action
on your part. The commission which
you hold is the highest compliment
and testimonial which the people Of
this state can pay to one of its citi-
zens. 1t is possible that you have
taken this step hastily, in the heat Of
debate, and without due reflection on
the consequences to the people VINO
have so signally honored you.
1T was only last year hat our peo-
pie had the excitement and turmoil in
cident to a campaign, and In another
year we will be in the midst of fur
Their political strife. The people are
entitled to one year of peace and free
dom from political battles and bitter
ness. The indications are that a cam
paign such as would be precipitated
by vacancies in these two exalted po-
sitions would be a very acrimonious
one. and personal, rather than a dis
cussion OF issues. and from such n
canvass II people should be spared.
In fact, II would be n calamity to the
state to be torn asunder by Il heated
canvass in this OF year in politics.
There can be no possible good to come
of 1t.
Holding these views and looking to
the interests of the people of mis-
state-their peace, prosperity, and hap
piness, | respectfully decline to accept
your designations and beg to return
them herewith"

SENATOR CALLS AUDIENCE.
Contained No One of Lesser Rank thar
the Vice President

the Vice President.
There are two ways of looking at
anything, and the way a wit of Wash
ington explained a certain lack of au-
dience in the senate, when a southern
senator made a speech. was certainly
the most. delightful way Of defining a
somewhat chilling incident.
1t has passed into history that Hon.
Wilkinson Call of Florida, though for
three terms a United States senator
and highly honored by his state, did
not make a great impression on the
senate as a speaker, and that he thus
disappointed all those who have the
tradition in their minds that all south
ern statesmen are orators. Senator
Call, 1t is said, once arose to make a
speech when the senat chamber was
rather empty. As he spoke the few
members of the senate who were there
fled out to get luncheon. Nc one re-
manned on the floor to listen to the
speech, but the president of the senate
still sat in his place, dignifed and
calm. The galleries were also empty,
and the incident became the subject Of
Washington gossip. At a dinner party
where a southern politician was a
guest 1t was asked what he thought of
the southern senator's audience when
he made hts speech in the senate this
morning. Then anne a clever answer,
for the southern man said, with a
grave face: Il thought it a very dis
tinguished audience. There was no
person there of less rank than the vice
president Of the United States."-Sat-

ANOTHER DIsCOLORED OPTIC
The Mining Operations of the Qualeys
 in Graham County.

The following dispatch has lately been sent out from Newark, N. J., about an Arizona mining promoter:
 Charges have been made against John A. Dudley of New York, in a suit instituted in chancery by William J. Duane and Edward w. Osgood Of New York, and David s. Greenough of Boston, as directors of the Arizona Copper Smelling company. New Jer- sey corporation capitalized at $l,O0O,00O A second suit, in which the cOntesting parties and interests at issue are prac- tically identical, has been brought in the same court by the John F. Kane company of New York against the United States Carbonate company.
 'In the suit against the copper com pany, of which Dudley is president, the Complainants seek an accounting for certain funds which, they say, were di- verted by the president from their proper uses. In the bill 1t is said that Greenough paid to Dudley sl5,00O for the purpose of paying the company } debts in Arizona and developing its BlOptIly NINCA b'looiNihto llllS sum in New York bank. it is said, Qualey drew out and used the whole or large part of the money for other purposes"
 The property in which Dudley was interested and in which he succeeded in painfully interesting others, lies in Graham county. Of his operations the S1lomonville Bulletin says:
 John A. Qualey rustled money in New York for Frank and Charley Qualey, who had charge of this min ing property. Considerable develop mcnt work was done on the mines and a shelter was built at Stafford, but never put in operation. The Qualeys left here last fall ard all the property owned by the Arizona Copper Smelling company Is now in the hands of F. A. Nelson as receiver, his appointment as such having been procured by the New York creditors

SICK AND SNOW BOUND
J. J. Phelan Alone and Ill In His
 Mountain Home.

While all Arizona Iejoices at the re-
 cent heavy rain and snowstorms there
 are some results that must occasion
 sincere regret. An instance is recorded
 by the Williams News as follows:
 Thomas Wagner sent letter Tues
 day to Thomas Phelan notifying him
 that his uncle, J. J. Phelan, was sick from pneum0nia at cabin In Lone
 some canyon, about eighteen miles south of town. J. C. Phelan being in
 Washington, leaving Tom as manager, 1t was impossible for him to leave. He at once sent James Taber and Harry Crouch with q team and light delivery wagon to bring in the unfortunate
 man. It was sn-wing at the time, and showed heavily all day Wednesday. Anxious relatives and friends awaited some tid.ngs from the little party all day Wednesday. IL was not ill late Thursday night that raber and Crouch returned. They had been unable to get within eight miles of the unfor- turate man on account of the depth of the snow The presumption is that MT. Phelan is dead ere t'nls, as pneumonia is generally fatal at this altitude, eve- with the best of care. It Is cause for
 much regret to think of any one suf- fering So close to help and medical care Tom Fhe!an will today try to get to the unfortunate man some way or other. and many stand ready to help all in their power. There are many who would volunteer Co go, but it is | folly to send any but experienced | woodsman and one acquainted with the canyons in that section.

 By inducing Capt. Crawford to come here Phoenix has reaped most of the pleasure, although the poet scout de- Clarts that the visit, which is not the first one, affords him a pleasant op- portunity of renewing an acquaintance rot only with Arizona, but some of its people. The captain is unique and picturesque character, not always un- derstood upon a passing acquaintance, hut a man whose pleasant and reas- surfing ways finally inspire friendship. Major Ed Schwartz, who served with the captain during the civil war and has been intimately acquainted with him for many years, tersely expresses his opinion of the poet scout thus: "l have seen many long-haired men@ but Capt. Jack Crawford is one of the few men of long hair who ever impressed me favorably. He Is in a line of work which demands long hair for a car0'
 This man has attained distinction as a scout and strangely he has coupled with his career the name of poet and lecturer. In former years the west af- forded a field for the eastern literary man, but recent years have brought out the west not only as a field and inspiration for literary effort. but as a producer of literary men of national fame. Captain Crawford is one nf tham. He spent his earlier days in the volunteer army. subsequently ac- Quiring the title of captain by assum- ing command of the company of scouts which Bill Cody, the renowned "Buf- falo Bill" had formerly commanded. He has done scouting in New Mexico and other parts of the southwest, but his experiences were mostly confined to Nebraska and linked with those of Bill Cody. He travelled with Cody's wild western show, but early com m,nced his career as q lecturer, and his latest role is that of a playwright. He has written a play of thrilling west ern adventures which was produced successfully in San Francisco and he Is planning to organize a troupe which will tour the country reproducing scenes of the frontier.
