According to Formula.

Judge Pennypacker was once asked
by his brother Harry during a session
of court for the loan of So. Harry
walked to the desk and whispered the
request in the judges ear. The latter,
looking down over the top of his
glasses without the suggestion of d
smile, said loud enough to be heard
throughout the room:
Put your application in writing and
present it to the court in a proper man
ner."
Mr.. Pennypacker, thinking the judges
insistence upon regularity to be merely
regard for the dignity of the court,
wrote out the request and handed it to
the clerk Of the court, who in turn
passed it to the bench. The judge read
it quietly and seriously and then in
terrupted the pending trial long enough
to say:
application for loan of S. made.
to this court is received and refused"

THE COOKBOOK

If the pastry be slow in browning
throw little sugar on the oven shelf
This will expedite matters greatly.
If the skin of beet root has got bro
ken, scar the part with a redhot iroI
before cooking it. This will prevent
the beet from bleeding.
The next time tomato soup is plan
ned for the family dinner try adding
a few slices of orange just before serv
ing and enjoy the pleasant favor which
they impart.
Eggplant is most palatable when
broiled. Cut into thick slices, with the
skin on; dip in olive oil seasoned with
salt and pepper and cook on wire broil-
er over clear fire five or ten minutes
When q cake contains too much -four
or has baked too fast. it will sink from
the edges or rise up sharply, with a
crack in the middle. If cake has q
coarse grain, IL was not beaten enough
or the oven was too slow.
If you like cocoanut pyramids, beat
the whites of two eggs till light and
stiff; mix with two cupfuls of grated
cocoanut, one cupful of powdered sug-
ar and two tablespoOnfuls of -four;
make into pyramids and bake brown.

Sailors, Curious Pets.

1t has been said of the jackie sailor
boy that he is SO passionately fond of
pets he must have something to love,
II it is only cockroach in a 'baccy
box" This statement was founded on
fact, for one of the most remarkable
pets of an English ship was a mon
strous cockroach. He was four inches
long and one inch broad.
One of the sailors had tanned him
and built for him cage with a little
kennel in the corner of it. This in
sect prodigy learned to recognize his
masters voice, and when he heard
him call would hurry out from his
kennel in response.
Among other odd pets that have been
beloved by English sailors was a seal,
who had tank residence on boGSd
and a daily round of pleasure and
duty, his pleasure seven meals day,
his duty bath after each meal. An
other was a deer, who would take a
Quid of tobacco with so much delight
that the fellow feeling aroused by his
appreciative taste made him a general
favorite.

THE HIGH LICENSE ORDINANCE.

When the Tucson city council took
action regarding the Buchanan high IL
cense ordinance, it was to this effect:
That an ordinance embodying all the
provisions of the Buehman high IL
cense proposal be prepared, and in
addition a clause abolishing the wine
rooms and the side and rear entrances
to saloons; then submit the ordinance
to the voters of the city for approval
or rejection.
The adoption of this resolution re-
moved the matter for the time being
from the jurisdiction of the city coun-
ell. 1t is now in the hands of the ex-
ecutive Mayor Schumacher is pri-
marily responsible. 1t is the duty of
the mayor to direct the city attorney
to prepare the ordinance and submit it
to the people in accordance with the
resolution of the council. Will Mayor
Schumacher do his duty?
The city attorney, it is understood,
is ambitious to be made district attor-
ney of Pima county. Will he dem
onstrate his fitness for the wider field
by neglecting his duty as city attor-
ney? The people of Tucson are pro-
foundly interested in the proper regu-
1ation of the saloons. They want the
dives exterminated. They exepect the
mayor to do his duty, and will hold
him to strict responsibility for the
actions of the city attorney.

work That the Heart Doe..A

The work Of the heart is the circu-
latlon of the life giving blood through
out the body. With each stroke or
peat Of the heart it projects something
ike six ounces of blood into the bod
Ay conduits throwing it for a distance
OF nine feet. That it does sixty-nine
Jmes minute, 4,140 times each hour,
99,36O times in a day, 36,266, 400 times
IN year and 2,540, ,337, 100 times in a
ntetlme of seventy years. The blood
is propelled by the heart nine feet each
peat, 2O7 yards each minute. seven
miles an hour, 169 miles in day. 61.Sl7
miles in year and 1880, 120 miles in
the seventy years.
Inc total force exerted by the heart
every tWenty-four hours has been cal
culated to be equal to 124 foot tons
that is, If the whole force expended
by the heart in twenty four hours were
gathered into one huge stroke such a
power would lift 124 tons one foot off
the ground. This being the daily
force, that exerted in a year would be
equal to 45,260 foot tons and that in a
lifetime of seventy years 3.1T0,303.
Such is the enormous amount of work
performed by the human heart, which
only weighs eleven ounces and is about
the size of the closed fist.

WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE?

We have seen no denial of the re-
port telgraphed from Philadelphia
more than week ago, that President
Roosevelt stated that "the men at the
head of the Republican party, who are
in control of affairs in the State nf
Pennsylvania" could and would nut
an end to the anthracite coal strike.
There is little reason to doubt the
accuracy of this statement. for tho
men who are really "in control" of the
Republican party in Pennsylvania are
the men who operate these coal mines
The Senators of that State are mere
ly their puppets--or perhaps that IS
too strong word-say their political
representatives. The connection ba-
tween the great corporations Of Penn
sylvania and the Republican party is So
close that it is as hard to distinguish
them as it would be to tell the differ
ence between trust and a combine.

UNCLE SANS FREAK MONEY
Bills That Are Twenty Dollars on
One side and Ten ON the Reverse.

Bills That Are Twenty Dollars ox
One side and Ten ON the Reverse,
Scattered throughout the country are
q few pieces of paper money that are
known as freak bills" by the officials
of the treasury department. One of
them turned up in this city not long
ago-it had the imprint of a twenty
dollar note on one side and q ten on
the other. AS the face showed the
twenty, that was it's legal value.
The deputy assistant treasurer of
the United States, who is stationed in
the New York subtreasury, was speak
ing of these freaks the other day and
said he had only seen one of them in
his life, although he had heard of sew
eral. Very rarely they have slipped
through the bureau of engraving and
printing despite careful scrutiny by
three or four sets of inspectors. In
most cases they have been national
banknotes, which, like regular treasury
notes, are printed at the bureau in
Washington. The face value always
is recognized when the freaks come to
be cashed in at any branch of the
treasury, and the imprint OH the back
has no lawful status whatever
"The notes are printed in sheets at
the bureau" said the official. Usual
ly there will be one twenty and two
tens on a sheet. They are printed one
side at a time, so it can be seen that
the printer in turning over the sheet
might get it upside down and thus put
a ten dollar back on the twenty dollar
note or twenty ON the back of one of
the tens"
In the bureau are women who are
supposed to examine all the bills care
fully, but occasionally they neglect
to look at both sides as scrutiniZingly
as they should, and so the money goes
out into circulation. When errors are
discovered, the misprinted sheet is laid
aside to be destroyed. 1t cannot be
torn up at once, for every sheet has to
be accounted for. After good deal
of red tape, it is ground up into pulp.
Most of the freak bills which have
been issued in the past have found
their way back to the treasury, there
10 De ueSTOEeu. II is THOUGHT llldt less
than a dozen are now scattered about,
most of them in the hands of curio
hunters. The official said that no eff
fort to collect them had been made by
the government and that the treasury
department did not consider the circu-
lation of the few notes a matter of
any consequence, inasmuch as there
was no doubt about the values as in
dicated on the face.-New York Times.
The Tucson citizen., 1902-09-13

Of course it never occurred to Pres
ident Roosevelt in his advocacy of a
constitutional amendment to suppress
the trust evil, that it would take years
to get such an amendment, if, indeed,
it could be obtained at all. 1t is hard
ly probable that three-fourths of the
States would surrender their control
of corporations to the federal govern
ment on the chance that Congress
would control them in the interest of
the people.

STONED For Once.

was visiting a friend in the nations
capital and was taken one day to the
gallery of the senate while an impor-
tant measure was under discussion.
A senator was delivering long.
prosy and apparently aimless speech,
and the visitor soon grew tired of it.
"Why doesn't he say something
worth listening to?" he whispered to
his friend.
'Oh. he's merely talking against
time"
What's the good of that?'' asked the
other, aghast. Time goes on just the
same, doesn't it,"

CORRUPTION IN ST. LOUIS.

The arrest in ST. Louis of eighteen
members of the municipal council of
that city indicates that che people or
the Missouri metropolis are determined
to have honest government and to
punish official evil-doers.
The recent revelations in st. Louis
IN regard to the sale of public fran
chises, and the sweeping indictments
presented by the grand Jury disclosed
an extraordinary state of corruption
in the municipal government of the
principal city of the southwest. In
this scandal, disgusting as it is, there
is cause for encouragement.
The doodle alderman" can no longer
carry on his trade of selling legislation
with impunity. Corporations which
engage in bribing councilmen have no
assurance that they will escape the
punishment they so richly deserve. In
ST Louis the venal councilmen fell out
over the division of the bribe money
and then the scandal was revealed in
all it's hideousness. Good citizens of
every party hope that the corrupt men
who have brought disgrace on Missou-
ri's chief city will be punished accord
ing to their deserts.
In the meantime the exposure will
have wholesome effect in every com.
munity, great and small.

HEAT and REASON.

Students of political and economic
affairs on the western continent are
wondering what is to become of that
large population in and around the
Caribbean Sea. Always turbulent,
these denizens of the equatorial re-
gions appear to be getting further and
further away from any attempt at the
observance of law. Everybody seems
to work on the theory that he is right
and everybody else is wrong. So it is
that whenever an. Individual thinks he
has been injured in property, person
or dignity particularly the latter-he
does not, like the Arizonian, apply to
the courts for redress, but secures a ri
fie, supply of bullets and a dagger or
two, and goes forth to square accounts
with those whom he believes to have
trod upon his corns.
AT this time there are revolutions in
venezuela, Nicaragua, Colombia and
Hayti, and nearly all the other little
republics are in constant state Of
turmoil, nobody knowing on going to
bed at night whether or not there will
be revolt against the government be-
fore the rising of the sun. Cuba, too.
although but recently endowed with
the conduct of her own affairs, is
overflowing with a spirit of restless
ness indicative of firearms and re-
bellion against the constituted author
tiles.
There are varying views as to the
cause of this perennial turbulence
among the peoples of this section of
the world. Not a few ascribe the
troubles to race, and yet others to a
general laxity Of morals and stamina.
In measure either OF these probably
has a bearing, but temperament is fire.
quently matter of temperature. The
Central Americans and the West In
dfans live In the neighborhood of the
equator. 1t is difficult to have cool
headed men in climate which is ex-
cessively hot during most Of the
twelve months Of each year. Heat

THE STUDY OF TIE BIBLE.

In his recent speeches in New Eng
land the President illustrated several
of the points he made by quotations
from or references to the Bible. This
has given occasion for a cunious dis
cussion in the newspapers. The
question discussed is whether at the
present time the habit of Bible reading
has not so far died out that allusions
to that book, upon which the religion
of the civilized world is based, are no
longer understood or comprehended
by the people.
The members of the Jewish church
have always made profound study of
that portion of the sacred book which
Christians designate as the Old Testa-
ment, and there is no reason to believe
that they read it less attentively now
than formerly. Among members of
some of the Christian churches how
ever. it may be that there is less Bible
study than there was In the early
days of New England, in the times of
Cromwell and later on Of the Scotch
Covenanters.
Among the Puritans Of those early
days the Bible and the metrical YER
sion OF the Psalms were the only
books in general use. It is true, per-
haps, as the Los Angeles Express de-
clares, that nowadays it is hardly safe

The shortest Lived city.

Which of the large cities of the world
had the shortest life?
In the ancient world the answer is
Palmyra. The period of its prosperity
extended only from lit to 273 A. D..
1856 years. In the fifth century r. c.
Persopolis, was the capital of the Per-
sian empire for thirty years only, but
this was merely an accident of war
and politics. Carthage was the shortest
lived seat of empire, for it only en-
dured about 500 years. In modern times
the answer would be Amarapura, the
former capital of Burma. Founded in
1888, it had in 1900 a population OF
175,000 Sixty years later the seat OF
government was transferred to Man
dalay. and Amarapura Is now repre-
sented only by few ruined temples
and bamboo huts.-London Answers.
