TWO CENTS ENOUGH.
In 900 YearH, mt Compound Interest,
1t Would Pay Off the
Debt.

An instance of the danger of little
arithmetic has occurred at Birning-
ham. a far-seeing alderman objected
to building the council house upon
ground held only upon 800 years lease
ut the end of which land and buildings
birmingham buildings are, of course,
durable) would belong to the ground
landlord, says Madame.
A learned mathematician thereupon
presented $50 to be accumulated at
compound interest to buy them back
again. 1t seems, however. that SIS. %
could safely be devoted to the present
purchase of turtle soup for nc corpora
ton; two cents would be sufficient, sup
posing the interest, rent and money
had not been abolished meanwhile. and
that the end of the world had not come!
Figures, we know, will prove any
thing. The ancient Greeks showed
automatically that hare could never
pass tortoise. Suppose, they said. the
hare was ten times as fast. but the tor
toise had hundred yards start.
While the hare run the 100 yards the
tortoise would gain fresh start of ten
yards. While the hare cleared this off.
his slower competitor would make a
yard. When pussy had passed the yard
the start would be one-lenth yard;
similarly it would be reduced to one
hundredth, one thousandth, and so on,
but 1T never vanishes. l wonder how
many of my readers can show where
the fallacy lies?

No NOXiOuS Doses. A Pleasant
and Positive Cure for the
Liquor Habit.

1t is now generally known and
understood that Drunkenness is
a disease and not weakness. A
body filed with poison, and
nerves completely shattered by
periodical or constant use of in
toxicating liquors, requires an
antidote capable of neutralizing
and graduating this poison, and
destroying the craving for in
toxicants. Sufferers may now
cure themselves athome without
publicity or loss of time from
business by this wonderful
"Home Gold Cure" which has
been perfected after many years
Of close study and treatment Of
inebriates. The faithful use
according to directions of this
wonderful discovery is positively
guaranteed to cure the most
obstinate case, no matter how
hard a drinker. Our records
shows the marvellous transfer
nation of thousands of Drunk
ards into sober, industrious and
upright men.
Wives cure your husbands!
Children cure your fathers! This
remedy is in no sense nostrum
but is a specific for this disease
only, and is so skillfully devised
and prepared that it is thorough
1y solubly and pleasant to the
taste, so that it can be given in
a cup of tea or coffee without the
knowledge of the person taking
it. Thousands of Drunkards
have cured themselves with this
| priceless remedy, and so many
more have been cured and made
temperate men by having the

friends and relatives without
their knowledge in coffee or tea,

INDIAN SCHOOLS.

The Indian office has conplet-
ed the plans and specifications
for a new school building at
Truxton Canyon, Ariz., to cost
$4,000, and for a new dor1nito-
~ to cost $4,000 at Fort Mo-
have, Ariz., and bids will be adj
vertised for within a few days.
1t is also proposed, and plans
have been formulated, to erect a
new school plant at Keams Can
yon, Ariz., for the accOmmoda-
of 200 pupils on the Moqui In
dian reservation. Plans and
specifications have also been pre-
pared for the erection of a new
stone dorrnitory, with a capacity
of 100 pupils, and a water sys-
tsm, to increase the capacity OF
the the Indian school at Fort
Apache to 200 pupils. The total
expenditures for buildings, water
system, etc, will aggregate
$15O,OOO
The Moqui schools are the
most interesting with which the
Indian Office has to deal. There
are about 2,0CO Moquis. They
are practically the only Indians
who are house jewellers and
builders. They build their houses
on rocks, which rise from the
desert like islands, and which
are called mesas. The Moqui
villages have historic records
running back to the sixteenth
century. There are three pril1
cipal villages, at one of which is
held annually a wonderful In
dian ceremonial known as the
Moqui snake dance.
The new school will be located
in a fertile canyon, where there
is an abundance OF water, wher
compared with the arid regior
surrounding it. There is no ap
prehension about the pupils at
tending the school, as the gov

IN response to an inquiry from
District Attorney ]. E. O'Connor
Attorney General Ainsworth
states that he is of the opinion
that assessors appointed by the
boards of supervisors last JAN
uary to hold Office until the 31st
day of December, 1901, are en-
titled to continue in Office until
rhat date, notwithstanding the
law making sheriffs assessors
went into effect on Sept. list. He
reasons that the law fixed the
assessors salary at 100000 per
annum as compensation for the
work of making the assessment
and that all this work had been
completed before the first day of
September, and therefore the
assessor is entitled to the full
compensation. There is no work
for the new assessor to do be-
tween now and the first day of
January next, consequently he
could not be entitled to any pay.
District Attorney O'Connor will
ask the attorney general for a
full written opinion on the sub
iect.-Florence Blade.

An UnparIiamentaryM Motion.
At laGt the din became so great that the
| Chair yielded, and for moment the Clerk
paused as Mr. Hemenway enquired. For
what purpose does the gentleman rise?"
| Mr.. McDermott-I arise to enquire in
what manner am l out of order?
The Chairman-The gentleman is out of
orGer in interrupting the reading of the
section.
Mr.. McDernott-Mr Chairman. desire
to make motion to adjourn. Cheers and
| laughter on the Republican side, and many
cries of I'VE are in Committee of the
WholerD
Some Democratic mem bers were prompt
ing Mr.. McDermott that he might move
that the committee rise, but that mo-
ton in Committee of the Whole to ad-
journ was not exactly the parliamentary
thing.
At the instant when the Clerk rounded
out the last word of the bill Mr. Robb,
Mr.. Gaines. Mr.. Bartlett, and others were
calling upon the Chairman for recognition,
and above the babble might be heard these
words; 81 desire to offer an amendment"

Mr. Robb was recognized, and he sub
mitted an amendment, which the Clerk
read. and which the gentleman from Mis-
souri, discussed to the limit of his time
Mr.. Grosvenor was eager to close debate
Chairman Hemenway ruled that while
gentlemen desired to amend the bill'' de-
bate could not be closed. This ruling
was vigorously combatted by Mr.. Gros-
venor, who said if enforced it would do
away with cloture in the House; that all
that would be necessary to kill a bill
would be to go into Committee of the
Whole.
Chairman Eemenway asked Mr.. Gros-
venor if he thought 1t would fulfill the
rules If the committee should order the bill
read by sections for amendment, and then
prevent any amendment by voting to re-
port the bill Democratic applause.l Mr.
Grosvenor thought 1t would IL the COM
mittee so elected.
Chairman Hemenway said that unless an
amendment was dlatory in its nature or
purpose it must be entertained.

Mr. McDermott called for a division and
then secured tellers, the vote by the latter
method resulting, IS ayes. As noes. The
