Horv 70 Keen Young.

One of the secrets of keeping young,
vigorous and supple jointed is to con-
tinue to practice the activities of youth
and to refuse to allow the mind to
stiffen the muscles by its suggestion
OF age limitations If men like Peter
Cooper and William e. Gladstone. who
kept up the vitalizing exercises of ro-
bust manhood when far into the
eighties. had succumbed at forty to the
thought of approaching age, how much
OF their valuable life work would have
remained undone!-Success.

THE COOKBOOK.

Put pinch Of bicarbonate of soda
iii the water when boiling salmon.
This makes it a beautiful red color.
When roasting fowls, put them into
an intensely hot oven until carefully
Drowned; after that cook slowly, bast-
ing frequently.
When gravy is being made from
roast veal, lamb, beef or chicken, use
milk instead of water added to the
brown drippings left in the pan after
the fat has been poured Off.
Before baking bluefish the creole
cooks pour over it sauce made from
fresh or canned tomatoes In which
garlic is chopped. 1t is then baked un-
til the flesh of the fish fakes, admitting
the sauce.
For a quick cake beat until thick
four eggs; add four tablespoonfuls Of
sugar, half cupful of flour, a little
cinnamon and lemon rind; beat well
and spread on baking pan; bake In
quick oven and cut at once.
Cooking teachers say that the ingre-
dents for pancakes. fritters and the
like should be mixed fully two hours
before the batter is needed. This, they
explain, gives the -four a chance to
swell, and the batter is better and
more wholesome.

YANKEE INGENUITY.

Yankee ingenuity and inventiveness
are still potent factors in New Eng
land civilization. According to a dis
patch from Boston, printed in the San
Francisco Call, tobacco planter in
the Old Bay State has trained flock
of turkeys to hunt grasshoppers. 1t
seems that grasshoppers are plentiful
in Massachusetts, and that they dearly
love a chew of the weed when it's
green. planters from far and near,''
adds the dispatch, hire the flock to
clear their fields of grasshoppers, and
the owner is coming money"
This enterprising Massachusetts man
is destined to become rich and
famous. If he can train turkeys to
catch grasshoppers as a matter of
business he is phenomenally gifted
teacher. Perhaps in time he will
teach his cows to milk themselves,
while his horses will do days plow-
ing without the guiding hand of the
hired man. The sheep on his farm
may be trained to shear themselves,
while the chickens may be expected to
accomodatingly prepare themselves for
market.
Verify there is no limit to the in
genuity of the New England brethren.
Not many years ago the State of Col
orado, like other western States and
Territories, offered a bounty for the
scalps of wolves. An enterprising and
thrifty citizen with one lung, who had
recently moved west from Massachu-
setts, turned in hundreds of scalps
every year, when there was appar-
emily not a wolf in the county in
which he lived. Investigation dis
closed the fact that he had wolf
farm and bred hundreds of the animals
every year for the purpose of selling
their scalps to the State.
Perhaps the Massachusetts farmer
may now breed grasshoppers to prey
on his neighbors' tobacco patches and
give steady employment to his flock
of trained turkeys. Or perhaps the
whole business may be settled by
working out the problem of Whitcomb
Riley's "Squdgecum Squees that swal-
lers therselves"

WOMEN AND MICE.

Woman's strange fear of mice is ex-
planned by Professor MCGEE, of the
bureau of ethnology at Washington,
as an inheritance from the women of
the monkey stage of human develop
ment. Professor McGee spent many
years among the abodigina1 inhabitants
of Arizona, New Mexico and northern
Mexico, and presumably knows what
he is talking about.
The monkey-woman was of arborea1
habits, and always sought the highest
branches of trees when she saw ro-
dents about, whence it comes that
petticoated woman of today now takes
to chair or other elevation within
reach, at sight of mouse. The act
or climbing when mouse appears is
instructive, and woman can't help it. A
special reason for woman's antipathy
Is suggested. Her primeva1 ancestors,
it is stated, were vegetarians, living.
on the nuts and fruits which the mice
stole from the family store, thus win
ming woman's perennial hate.
DR.. Salmon, of the United States
Bureau of Animal Industry, refers the
origin of the antipathy to the mouse
to later period, when woman had be-
come troglodyte Caves are much
frequented by mice, and these animals
annoyed woman greatly by scamper-
ing over her at night, through the dry
leaves that served her for cover
Mice move with startling rapidity. and
naturally the noise they produced
made cave-dwelling woman nervous, to
say nothing of the effect of their
clawed feet on her sensitive cuticle.
This nervousness is inherited, and
shows itself as panic.
Other scientific experts hold, how
ever, that it is all matter of clothes.
Professor Otis Mason, of the Smith
sonian Institution, and the learned DR..
Stejnegar of the National Museum.
agree in declaring that women would
be as bold as their husbands in the
presence of mice if they only wore
trousers. But this seems a rather SUI
perficial view Of the matter, seeing
that old-maidish or feminine men are
just as susceptible to mice as women,
Notwithstanding their trousers. What
needs explanation is the panicky fear
of perfectly harmless beast which is
anxious to get away, and which was

rants and all the ordinary table vege-
tables.

OUR NATIONAL DEBT.

In 1860 the interest bearing debt o
the country stood at $65,OO0,OO0; In
1866 it had reached the enormous sum
of s2.6S0. .647, 1863, and not little OF 1t
bore a high rate of interest. Wars
mean national debts, and between 1860
and 1866 we had very foolishly in
dulged in civil war of unprecedented
magnitude. 1t brought us an almost
unprecented debt.
But O. P. Austin, an old Washington
newspaper correspondent, now chief
of the bureau of statistics, in the cur
rent number of the North American
Review, shows that our interest bear
ing debt has been reduced to 1869 ,457,-
241, and the annual interest charge to
$27,542,945. The per capita Of debt is
now $12.27, and the annual per capita
interest on account of the civil war is
now 35 cents, or one-twelfth of that
of 1866. The per capita interest
charge of France is sixteen times
and that of Great Britain six times
greater.
This is the only country in the world
that is able to float per cent bond,
and it is nearly the only country that
has no permanent debt. In other
countries, public debt are not re-

ter of fact they are not as rule re-
deemed at all. They are carried as a
permanent incubus. Not SO in this
country. All of our interest-bearing
debt is met at maturity, .and there is
fixed intention to cancel it as soon
as it can be conveniently done. This
is one reason why we are able to float
2 per cent bonds.

A Clever H0rxe.

A great many horses are fed on the
streets from "catbags" drawn up over
their noses and wabbling about in a
manner which must make it very un-
comfortable to eat ones dinner in that
way. The Boston Herald tells OF q
bright horse down in "Pie Alley"
which had nearly reached the bottom
of his bag. 1t wabbled awfully. but
the oats were sweet and he was hum
CRY. In front of him stood wagon,
and the wagon had wheel. Happy
thought! He walked up to the wheel,
rested his canvas bag on the top of it
and finished his dinner to the last oat
in a comfortable, leisurely fashion and
with twinkle in his eye. II that was
not a triumph of mind over matter,
what was it?

jUDICIRL ARROGANCE.

A case of interest to all newspapers
has arisen at Houston, Texas. Judge
Gillespie, of the local criminal court,
has given orders that none of the pro-
ceedings in murder case before him
should be printed. The Houston
Chronicle obtained a report of the pro-
ceedings and printed it. The propri-
etors were at once cited for contempt.
and the cause is now under considera-
ton.
II Judge Gillespie is wise he will
consider for long time before he de-
cides to punish the Chronicle for it's
publication. Of course, a court can
make any sort of an order it wants to.
but it's power to enforce the order Is a
very different question. Surely no
court has any power to enforce any
such order as this. The Constitution
of the United States provides:
Congress shall make no law respect
ing an establishment of religion. or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof:
or abrfdging the freedom of speech
or OF the press; or the right Of the
people peaceably to assemble and to
petition the government for redress
of grievances.
1t would be strange if small Judge
had a power that is expressly denied
to Congress- And furthermore, there
is no good reason for such an order,
because the people are entitled to know
what is going on in the courts. This
is recognized by all the State constitu-
tiens in the provision that courts shall
be open. Courts have exercised the
power of closing their doors during
the progress of trials that were con-
sidered indecent, but even in such
cases there could be no prohibition of
the publication of what was learned
outside. In recent case in the Cali
fornia supreme court, although the
The Tucson citizen., 1902-11-13

lower court had ordered that all per-
sons be excluded from the court room
except the counsel, officers and parties,
and that no public report or publication
of any nature of the testimony in the
case be made, still, Notwithstanding
these orders, verbatim report was
published by reporter, who entered
''per Wis., or in secret, and the same
was held not to be contempt, the
court saying: "The constitution guar
anteeS to every citizen the right to
freely speak, write, ETC., and prohibits
the passage of any law to restrain or
abridge the liberty of speech or of the
press" The learned judge in this case
further says: 1--WE are aware that
there are English precedents for hold
ing that the court possesses power to
prohibit publication of their proceed
ings, but we know of no decision of
this country upholding this, except
where the publication tended to influ-
ence the proceedings before the court"
This is the law, and it ought to be
the law. A court is public servant,
not public master, and the arrogation
OF any such powers as this Texas court
has taken ought to receive general con-
demnation.
