Naeo Pumping Plant

Naeo Pumping Plant
 The pumping plant at Naco is prov ing a great success. During the en- tire month the machinery has been closed down but one hour. The plant is lifting 250 gallons per minute into Bisbee, making 15,000 gallons per hour. The supply of water seems in- exhaustible. The company is arrang- ing to burn oil. There is a great gain in using oil as it gives an even heat and is much more economical. The plant is entirely new and is under the management of the Walker brothers.

A knights Way of Marrying.

Of all the matrimonial trafficking-
in the age Of chivalry-the ways of
widows are at once the bOldest and
most comprehensive. AS rule their
methods seldom resort to blandish-
ment; it is remarkable when tender
ness is an item in their bargain. Speed
was their maxim; it was one King
John honored, for he profited by it.
Yet one of the rarest exceptions in
the way Of delicacy to these CONNER
prompted by a widow who had quite
an exceptional lover. In 1906 William
de Landa-either one of the most ia
nous of the crusaders or his son-offers
so marks and a palfrey for having
to wife Joan, who was the wife of
Thomas de Aresey, ''if he may be
pleasing to the said JOAN" the sheriff
is instructed to ascertain the widows
wishes, "and if the said Joan shall
be pleased to have him for husband
then the sheriff shall cause William
to have seizin Of Joan and her land"
both of which he obtained in the name
Of gentle love and the faith Of true
soldier. 1t is fitting that the name
of one of the men who led the assault
Of Acre should be preserved in such
record as the above. He was in truth
a very perfect knight.-GentlemGn's
Magazine.

The newfoundland Dog.

Much as we may regret it. the fact is
that the Newfoundland dog, the en-
bodiment of courage, intelligence and
kindness, the highest type of canine
excellence, the animal that formed the
subject of Landseer's famous painting,
"The Child's Best Friend" is today al
most extinct. In the, United States the
animals have vanished completely,:a and
had it hot been for Mr.. Edwin Nichols
of South Kensington they would have
died out in England as well. Mr.. Mich
OILS is now, we believe, the sole breeder
of Newfoundlands in the world. Even
in the land of it's origin there are very
few fine specimens of the Newfound-
land dog now to be found. The dogs
most common and numerous in New
foundland are wretched mongrel
race, cowardly, thievish and given to
sheep killing. Starvation and neglect
have killed out the old Newfoundland
breed, which thrives better anywhere
except on this island, the place Of its
origin.-London Times.

Fall Cured .Madman.

In London a gentleman of high rank,
whose name has not been revealed, re-
Gently became insane on the subject of
religion. He saw gods and goddesses
in all sorts of inanimate things and
spent hours on his knees adoring them.
Eminent physicians regarded his case
as hopeless, and he was placed in the
charge of two attendants, who were
instructed to take him to lunatic asy-
lum.
Just as they were about to start,
however, the unfortunate man jumped
from a high window, ana fell with a
crash on the pavement. He was severe
ly bruised, but in a few weeks not only
were his wounds healed, but his reli-
gious mania also entirely disappeared
The physicians say that his reason
was restored to him by the violent
shock, and they assert that such an oc-
currence is unprecedented in the an
nails Of medicine.

How to Bask Properly.

"Basking in the sun" is in itself Of
real and considerable benefit, and it
is no compliment to our human INTEL
ligence to find that cats and dogs un-
derstand that fact better than we do
The love of sunshine is naturally one
of our strongest instincts, and we
should be far healthier and happier if
we followed and developed it instead
Of practically ignoring and repress-
ing 1t.
How sparkling sunny morning ex-
hilarates us and makes us feel that
cts too fine day to spend indoors"
and yet how few holidays are taken
for that reason! The wealth of the
sunbeams is poured out lavishly all
around us, and we turn from it to
struggle for few pitiful handfuls of
something else that is yellow and
shining, but not half SO likely to
bring us happiness and often has
strange. red spots upon it. Give ma
ture chance. and we will find that
there is more than mere fanciful
connection between natural sunlight
and that sunny" disposition which.
after ALL, is the true philosophers
stone. Exchange.

POULTRY POINTERS.

Pure water is more essential than
clean grass.
Even though turkeys are good TOT
ayers it will not pay to let them go
without proper feeding.
Everything in the rearing of young
poultry depends upon their care and
management at least until well feath-
cred.
Fowls inclined to fatten too easily
are not good layers. The flesh they
carry makes them lazy, and this never
promotes laying.
Middlings make good food for poul-
try. but if wet up alone it is too sticky.
The better plan is to mix with bran
or corn and wet with milk or scalding
water.
Whitewash is better than paint ON
the poultry houses, for the reason that
it costs less and has a purifying inhu-
ence. 1t may be applied as often as
once a month to advantage.
The properties of sunfower seed are
peculiar, and a small quantity fed at
the proper time will essentially aid in
imparting to the plumage OF adult
fowls a gloss that no other grain Will
produce.

Wonderful Medical Feat.

At Bellevue hospital, New York, a
man named Smith, who. had endeav-
ored to commit suicide by cutting his
throat, was recently cured in a most
remarkable fashion. A tube was in
serted into the windpipe, so that the
man could breathe, but symptoms Of
pneumonia appeared. So the doctors
placed kettle of boiling water beside
the bed, a pipe from which conducted
hot vapor into the artificial windpipe,
so that as he breathed a steady jet Of
hot vapor passed into the injured mans
lungs. A tent was also placed over his
cot so that no chilling draft might play
upon him. This saved him from the
threatened pneumonia, and the man
was we'll again within three weeks.

Japan,s Democratic EMPEROR,

There is no barbaric splendor about
the court of Japan, nor does the en-
peror insist on fantastic forms Of HON.
age. He is just plain individual. His
guests he receives standing, and he en-
tiers freely. into conversation with all.
There is scarcely a subject that does
not interest him or one on which he is
not well Informed. A delightful host,
it is his custom to surround himself
with clever men, men who are the
shining lights of their professions. En-
gineers, artists, musicians, writer's,
soldiers, scientists-every class of per-
son who has won distinction is well
come at the royal table, for it is one
of the chara cteristics of his majesty
that in the distributions of his favors
he is thoroughly impartial.-Indianap-

FEAR OF A CAVIARE FAMINE
America Now Supplies the World
With Sturgeon.

"A
With Sturgeon.
The time is said to be not far off
when caviare will be as expensive as
canvasback duck or diamondback ter
rapin. Though supposed to be a for
eign delicacy, it is almost exclusively
American At one time all the caviare
in the market was of European origin.
European waters have been nearly
fished out of sturgeon, however, and
today the German and Russian manu-
facturers, who have practical monop-
oily of the finished product, rely upon
the United, States for the sturgeon eggs
out of which the finished delicacy is
made. The same process of extinction
is going on in this country at very
rapid rate, and thus far no steps have
been taken by either the national or
the state governments to regulate the
industry. At the present time the three
centers of sturgeon catching are the
Delaware river, the great lakes and
the Columbia river. A limited number
are caught in Puget sound, and, &C.
cording to ship captains, there is still
a vast and untouched supply in the
waters Of southern Alaska. The water
ways which run from Vancouver
northward along British Columbia are
another field of considerable promise.
But the first quality and the one
which all epicures prefer comes from
the Delaware. That of the great lakes
is inferior in flavor. while the Pacific
article is altogether too rank and
coarse for the most refined palate. 1t
was the latter which was described by
an Irishman as a shad roe dressed in
cod liver oil. Up to the present century
there were many sturgeon in the Hud-
son and Connecticut, in New London
and Narragansett bays, as well as
Long Island sound, but the number
has grown. steadily smaller and today
is scarcely worthy of consideration

GainsborOugh and His Carrier.

One of the earliest members of the
Royal academy, it was Gainsborough's
custom to have his pictures conveyed
to the metropolis by prosperous Lon
don carrier, a Mr.. Wiltshire of Shock
erwick, near Bath. This man refused
to accept payment on the ground that
he loved pictures too well. He was
not, however, allowed to go unreward-
ed, for Gainsborough presented him
with six of his best works, and some
idea of their ultimate value may be
gained from the fact that when at
length they were sold the National gal
lery secured two. "TlIe Parish Clerk Of

PENNY POSTAGE.
The Incident That Led to Its Estab.
lishment In England.

The Incident That Led to Its Estab-
lishment In England.
Many years ago, when Queen Vic
tOria first began to reign, it cost nine
pence to send a letter from one Eng
liSh city to another. In those days the
postage was mot paid by the sender
of the letter, as is now, customary, but
by the receiver. So, of course, there
were many poor people who could not
afford to pay ninepence when their
mail arrived, and it often happened
that they were obliged to forfeit the
letters.
One day a man named Rowland Hill
was riding on the outskirts of a city,
and he saw postmaE bring q letter to
a young girl and demand ninepence
for it. The girl took the letter, scru-
tinized it carefully and then handed it
back to the man, saying she could not
afford to pay the postage. Thereupen
Rowland Hill, being a kind hearted
man, rode up and insisted upon paying
it himself. When the postman had
gone, the girl confessed to her bene-
factor that the letter was from her
lover, and to avoid paying ninepence
on every letter he made certain marks
on the envelope which she alone could
decipher.
"But,' said Rowland Hill, don't
you know you are doing something
very dishonest in thus cheating the
government
The girl admitted she did, but there
was no other way to do.
Hill rode away and meditated over
this little incident, and his farfamed
idea Of penny postage" was the re-
suit. At first he was laughed at by
every one, but he fought bravely and
finally was rewarded by seeing his
idea in practice all over the land.-New

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL.
How 1t Might BE Made an Important
Social Factor.

Social Factor.
The American public school is the
soul center of every community, the
bulwark of the nation. The public
use and the public ownership of the
public school lis the best example of
pure democracy even in this country
The public schools were builded bet
ter than we knew, welded for larger
purpose than that to which we are
putting them. We are neglecting our OPP
portunities. The public school should
be social as well as an educational
center. SchOplhouses and churches, too,
for that matter, should be open at all
times instead Of only a few bours a
week for the social reception Of all the
people who desire to take advantage of
such opportunities.
The public school could do no high
er service to the community in which
it is located than by making itself a
social center, social settlement, such
as we have in the large cities. This is
being done in New York, Chicago and
other cities.
The common people are the only
people in this country. Don't let us
neglect them. 1t is the business of
the public school to enlighten the par
ents as we'll as their children. The
public schools should be made civic
centers, places where the fathers and
mothers may congregate. People are
as good as they know. 1t is the bust
ness of the common school to teach
them what they should know. l know
no better place to counterfeit public
abuses than in the public school. 1t is
not in the interest Of our finer element
that l plead. 1t is for the whole peo-
ple Some of our otherwise ccmpara-
lively we'll Informed native born citi-
zens have little or no idea of. the essen
'tial principles of a democratic form Of
government.
The making of eur public schools a
social center would not increase the
school tax levy. 1t could be done al
most without expense. The public
school has on it's hands the possibility
of making an ethical center, regardless
of theological differences. The public
school is the soul of the great religion
of democratic ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
