ONE ON THE PRESIDENT.
Gave Prince Henry Rare Treat at the
White House, Likewise q
Little Surprise.

The clubs in Washington are hav-
ing much amusement over an incl
dent of Prince Henry's recent visit
which appears to have escaped the
notice of the "argus-eyed reporters"
As the story goes, says Harper's
Weekly. President Roosevelt wished
TO do the nations guest, in private,
compliment which the formalities
OF his public entertainment put out
OF the question-to-wit, to prove TO
him that the peoples drink of the
fatherland had won as sure a foot
hold in the new world as il had long
enjoyed in the old. To this end the
president ordered from a leading
German restaurant supply of Wurz'
burger Hofbrau for an informal sup
per which was TO be served at the
white house. As the table equipment
of our republican palace does not in
clude the covered stems necessary TO
give this beer its proper relish, the
same restaurateur was directed to
furnish several of the finest speci-
mems from his own stock. When the
prince was brought to the table he
found the beer already I'm place, each
stein being filed to the brim, and
ready for action. 1t was a most
pleasant surprise, which he attested
by proposing merry round OF
healths. As he drained the last drop
and was about TO set down his stein,
his eve was caught by something at
the bottom Of IL, and the smile on his
face relaxed. He cast a glance OF
puzzled alarm, first toward the pres
ident and then toward the door, as IL
he more than half expected a raid
from the constabulary. His compan-
ions, consumed with curiosity, tipped
their stems and peered in, too. In
rich blue capital letters, burned into
the clay, this inscription stared at
them from the depths "Stolen from

WHO Is ITf

Long clans are two distinct
sexes. The female at spawning time
throws out an enormous number of
microscopic eggs, from which, when
fortified, are Matched tiny free
swimming animals. These animals.
after a brief career of adventure,
settle down upon some solid object,
such as a stone or a front of sea-
weed, and attach themselves by
means of threads of a substance
which they secrete. When oppor-
tunity offers they proceed to burrow
into the ground. The prospect of
life for an individual clam at this
stage of its career is exceedingly
small, but the multitides of the spe-
cies are so great that there are al
ways plenty that survive.
Reckless overdigging has greatly
depleted the shore areas in Rhode
Island and Massachusetts,, but the
experiments of the fish commission
show that such areas may be rem
dered productive again at a cheap
rate. Nor is it necessary that there
should be abstention from clam
hunting for any great length of
time, inasmuch as a clam Matched
in the spring will be full-grown in a
single year. In this respect the long
clam has a great advantage over the
oyster, which requires five years to
reach marketable size

RHODE ISLAND CLAM-GARDENS
where the MoIlusISs Are sown
Broadcast

Alarm for the safety of the clam
fishery, which is an industry of no
small Importance in Rhode Island
and Massachusetts,, has been dis
PEELED by the discovery that the
Mollusk-it is the ''loDg" clam and
not the "quahaug" that is meant
can be planted and grown under cul-
tivation as easily as the potato. In
fact, the crop can be raised with
much less labor than potatoes, in
asmuch as the seed may be sown
broadcast without preliminary dig
ging.
Recent experiments by the United
States fish commission have proved
beyond a doubt the practicability of
clam culture on any scale that may
be desired, reports the Philadelphia
Saturday Evening Post. Last sum-
mer small areas of mud and sand
flats along the Rhode Island shore
were sown with the little clans
which were obtained in unlimited
quantities by seeking them in GER
tain easily found spots, where they
were so thick that as many as 300
were counted in single quart of
sand, the specimens averaging about
one-fifth of an inch in length.
The sand containing these multi
tudes of baby clans was passed
through a sieve, so as to separate
the mollusks, which were thereupon
conveyed in bags to the tidal flats
where they were to be planted. For
experiments sake they were planted
in various ways, some being simply
thrown out upon the sand or mud
exposed between the tides, while
others were sown over areas which
had been more or less dug up pre-
liminarily to make the soil loose.
Different stages of the tide and diff
ferent kinds of weather were chosen
for the paintings. In all nearly
5000, 900 clans were used
AS a result, il was found that the
best way was TO scatter the little
clans broadcast over the sand or
mud fats without disturbing the
soil, for il appears that the bivalves
at this early stage of their career
possess much greater powers of
burrowing than later on, and within
a few minutes after being thrown
out they make their way down into
the sand or mud, fastening them
selves securely by means of a rope
or "bysus" such as mussel en-
ploys for the purpose of anchoring
itself. In word they plant them
selves. If the soil is first loosened
they do not get a firm hold.

has faded with a solution of prussiate
of potash i'm water and the writing will
reappear if the surface of the paper
has not been destroyed. A wash with
strong solution of tannin will also
revive faded writing, says the Ameri-

wet with little benzine, and let it re-
main some time.
To clear and brighten jet, remove all
dust with n soft brush. touch the Jet
with bit Of cotton moistened with a
little good oil and polish gently with a
soft chamois. Jet is apt to be brittle,
so should always be carefully handled.
Dress the children Fourth of July in
old dresses or wash suits that have
been rendered uninfammable by rims
ing in alum water. This may avert a
serious accident.
To prevent cheese from molding
wrap 1t in a cloth wet with vinegar and
wrung as dry as possible, and keep in
cool, dry place.
The reason piano keys turn yellow
is that they absorb grease from the
fingers. To whiten them lay on a paste
made of whiting and a mild solution
of potash; let this remain about 4s
hours and the worries will be almost
perfectly restored.
To bleach light straw hat first
wash II with weak soda I've and rinse

Then place IL, supported on a stick, on
a table with n large glazed earthen-
ware pan covering IL. Next put one
half an ounce Of roll birthstone in a
small agate OF earthen dish and set IL
on the stove till the birthstone is melt
ed; then touch a match to il and quick
ly place il under the large dish with
the hat and wrap a wet towel around
the crack lest any of the sulphur gas
escape. In about two hours the straw
will be nicely bleached.

To restore gloss TO a silk hat that
has been wet or otherwise defaced,
cleanse IL carefully from all dust, then
with a silk handkerchief apply petrola-
tum evenly and smooth down with the
handkerchief until IL is dry, smooth
and glossy. This will make a silk hat
look as good as new.
To keep whitewash, keep the lime

affront, which would be ruinous to

|" KNOCKERS"

The WILLIAMS NEWS is kicking about knockers. We had an idea that Tucson furnished the only knockers in Arizona. Here they not only knock mining and real estate sales, but if a man don't watch closely his reputation will be knocked out from beneath him. Tucson Post.
 No place in Arizona is free from the festive "knocker." They are of various classes and various kinds, and actuated by all sorts of mo- tives. And in different parts of the territory they direct their energies in different directions. In the agri- cultural counties their cry is the lack of water for irrigation. In the mining districts the croakers affirm that mines don't go down. In the stock raising regions there are nu- merous and peculiar troubles which the pessimists ventilate. In the towns the wiseacres solemnly shake their heads and assure all listeners that ''the town is going to the dogs" as fast as it can, or words to that effect.
 But withal, those who have faith in the future and welfare of Arizona keep up the good work of develop ment of the great natural resources and the territory is forging steadily ahead. And the knockers and croakers are all dying of. Within a few years there will be none left.

BONDS MUST BE PAID.

The supreme court of the United States has decided that Yavapai county must pay the railroad bonds about which there has been much controversy and legal fighting dur ing the past five or six years. The bonds were issued in aid of the old Prescott and Arizona Central rail road. which was built and operated by Diamond Joe" Reynolds from Prescott to a connection with the Atlantic and Pacific railroad.
 When F. M. Murphy built the North and South railroad the old line was abandoned. The bond issue was without legal authority, as they were issued in the face of q United States law which prohib- ited either the territory or the counties from issuing bonds in aid of railroads or other public inn provements, but so long as the rail- road was operated the people of IavaPai county paid the interest on the bonds without a murmur. When the railroad was dismantled the authorities of Yavapai refused to further recognize the bonds as a legal or just obligation. Then Oaks Murphy was elected to congress and secured the passage of an act which legalized the bonds in ques- ton. Then the matter was taken into court and now the decision is that Iavapai must pay the bonds and interest. For several years the county has paid none of the inter est, but the payments have been met by the territorial treasury. The back payments now due the territory will pull heavy on the tax payers of the county, who have also expended large amounts in expensive Bulletin.
