Arizona Confirmations.

The Senate on Tuesday confirmed the following among other nominations:
 B. s. Baker, of Nebraska, to be assO ciate justice of the Supreme court of New Mexico; George R. Davis, to be associate justice of the Supreme court of Arizona; James W. Reynolds, to be secretary Of the territory of New Mexi- co; I. T. St0ddard, to be secretary of the territory of Arizona: F. s. Nave, to be United States attorney for the terri tory of Arizona.
 It was expected that the nomination of B. F. Daniels, to be United States marshal for Arizona, would be taken up. But if it was considered Tuesday, no announcement has been made of the probable action Of the senate. This case is attracting great deal Of inter- est in Washington City by reason of the protests which are pouring in from all parts of the country. Some of them are addressed to the president and oth. CTS to senators. The president has not signified what course he will take in regard to the nomination.
 The appointments of three of the jus. tices for Arizona were made about the same time, but for some reason which has not been explained only that oi Judge Davis has been confirmed. It is expected that decision in the matter of Chief Justice street will be reached in g day Or two.

The letter from Cheerful Patsy Is
one full of good advice We should
indeed try always TO 9 the bright
side of everything. It sometimes
happens that we must look long and
patiently for the silver lining; but
be sure 1t is there and your reward
will repay you for the diligence of
the search.
Careless Toms Is a good letter
and we'll written. He tells the
mothers something that perhaps
they have not hitherto recognized as
true.
Will Retlaw Is with Us this week,
and we are glad. All of US would
appreciate a letter from him on
practical bee culture. Experience is
always the best teacher and he has
experience. Anything he might
say would help beginners in this line
of business.
Mrs. z. A. o. tells US a story which
teaches a valuable lesson. She is
from the State Of Texas and we
would be 80 glad to have her write
often. We have representatives in
several States, but until now none

were the homes of peace, and the

soft sunlight, the cooling and
unfailing trade-winds, the sea with
a simmer upon it's placid surface,
the mountains wrapped in the sum-

was the atmosphere through which
you saw the California of the mid

Into the tranquility of this period
burst the stormy excitement of "the
days of 49," and almost in a decade
the old had gone and a new eli viliza-
ton was founded. Gradually new
owners came into possession of the
old ranches. AS the mining inter

others than cheerfulness. A cheer.

may possess by seeking with more or

cheerful, but there are others that

nature. We should all strive to be
cheerful at all times and be contented
with los, for we can make our
lives gloomy and dark without much
effort, but it takes an amount of
watohfulness and careful training to
make our lives as happy as circum-
stances will allow. We should try
to make others happy by doing some
kind deed, if ever so small. to
tighten the load of some one. Often
a kind look or a kind word will make
some one feel happier. If we can't

WILL KETLAw's AWARD.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE At your re
quest, Mrs. Retlaw and myself have
decided, after careful consideration,
that Mrs. z. B P. is entitled to the
book 1 offered sometime since for the
best article on the subject "How to
Make Home Happy"
She strikes the key note when she
says: "The first and most essential
thing TO a happy home is love"
True. Solomon, with all his wisdom,
mover uttered a more profound truth.
No home oan be a happy home with
out love. Wealth cannot produce hap
piness of itself. But show me q home
where love forms the foundation
stone and l will show you a happy
home-be it an humble cottage or be
it the finest mansion in the land.
Sincere writes a good letter, and
we read her article with much in
terest.
Isabe'la's letter also contains food
for thought. One sentence especi-
ally struck Us quite forcibly: Live
eaohfor the other and both for God"
A volume might be written on this
subject and we hope TO hear from
her again.
While the book that l offered
amounts to a mere tri1e, it has been
the mea of establishing one fact
beyond contradiction, and that il,
that among the members of Social
Chat there are some good writer's,
and we hope they will not hide their
lights under a bushel, but let them
shine forth oftener in the future.
Mrs. q. B. P, Sincere and Isabella
are able writer's, and might add
much brightness and interest to the
columns of Social Chat if they would
only write o~ftener. No doubt you
have your household cares, duties,
etc, 10 have we all. But let US see
If we can't give Social Chat more
attention in the future and try to
make it the most readable depart
ment in the FARMER. We can if we
will. Let's try. What say you?
I was rather disappointed that so
few of the Chatterers tried for the
prize. I am sure there are many
others that could have written good
articles on the subject given, which,
no doubt, would have proven of con
siderable interest and benefit to
others.
If any Of the Chat members are
interested in bee culture, I will gladly
give them my experience along this
line and tell them how they may
succeed with them. Mrs. Retlaw
and myself have twensy-three boxes
and are trying to manage them on
the up-to-date plan. Quite a good
thing may be made out of bees if
properly managed.
Hoping Mrs. 2 B. P. NAV be pleased
with book, l will CLOSE for this time
with best wishes to all.
