The oldest Force storage.

The water wheel is probably the old.
est method Of obtaining mechanical
force apart from the employment OF
animal force. These wheels We're no
doubt at first worked by flowing river
and then by a falling stream, and il
would not be very great advance on
this method TO dam back the stream
so as to obtain continuous supply of
force even in times of drought Such
storing of water at sufficiently high
level is the simplest and even at ths
present time the most successful meth
od Of storing force. If carefully ar
ranged, the loss by evaporation and
leakage is small and may be partly or
wholly replaced by rain, so the force 10
always available, and but little labor is
needed to keep such works in repair.
The water clock of the Romans was
an elaboration Of this method of stor.
ing force and was for them the only
form Of motor

smokeless article. This same powder
is sold by the American manufacturer
to the foreigner for 81 1-2 cents, "a 3-5,

The Phoenix Republican will not at
tempt to explain this unjust discrim-
ination in favor of the foreigner in
these commodities, for the reason that
this imposition on the home consumer
is made possible by trust-breeding
tariff, maintained by the Republican
party, whose campaign funds are de-
rived from the trusts.
Why should any American citizen,
other than a trust magnate or Re-
publican office holder, vote with a par
ty that is not only responsible for this
imposition, but promises that it will
perpetuate impositions of this charac-
ter indefinitely.

Diet and Character.

An exclusively pork diet tends in
Sallihly to pessimism. Beef, if perse-
vered in for months, makes a man
strong, energetic and audacious. A
mutton diet continued for any length
of time tends to melancholia. while
veal eaters gradually lose energy and
gayety. The free use of eggs and milk
tends to make women healthy and Vi.
vacious. Butter used in excess rem.
ders its users phlegmatic and lazy.
Apples are excellent for brain work
ers. and everybody who has much in
fellectual work to do should eat them
freely. Potatoes. on the contrary, rem
der one dull. invidious and lazy when
eaten constantly and in excess. To
preserve the memory. even to an ad-
vaneed age. nothing is better than
mustard.-L London Chronicle.

The Democrats of Pinal county have
an excellent candidate for the legisla-
ture in the person of Charles D. Rep
py. He is man of character and in
telligence, and few men in the Terri
tory are better acquainted with the
wants of Arizona in the law-making
line. Mr.. Reppy, although a Demo-
crat of new growth, is sound to the
core. He entered the Democratic par
ty from conviction and the force of
reason and intelligence. The people
of Pinal county could not do better
than elect him. He would be a use
full and influential member of the
legislature, valuable not only to his
immediate constituents, but to all the
people of the Territory.

Tha English Navx.

In the earliest times Of the British
navy there was practically no distinc-
ton between the merchantmen and the
man-of-war. In the rare times Of peace
men-of-war traded as merchantmen,
while merchantmen always went arm
ed. Thus in tirle of war the trader be-
came the warship and vice versa.
From the time of the conquest and
probably earlier down to the days OF
Elizabeth this was the ordinary prac-
tice. Elizabeth hired out ships of the
navy for all sorts of purposes from
piracy 10 slave trading, taking her
share of the profits when the venture
was successful and disclaiming all re-
Sponsibility when it wasn't.
Henry Ill, who may be described as
the originator of the navy as a special
fighting force, hired out the ships spe-
cially built for the navy in times Of
peace and even allowed them to be
taken away from their appointed sta
tons provided that the hirers deposited
due security for the return of the ships
with their tackle and all equipment in
proper state of efficiency. The prac-
dce ceased after the repulse of the
Spanish armada, when the fighting
ship, as such, became distinct from the
trader.-LondOn Globe.

Pickpockets and Pins.

Artful as the ways of the "Heathen
Chinee" are the lodges of the expert
picker of pockets. The other night a
young lady who had been to the thea
ter was getting on to a tram car, and,
knowing the possibilities opened up TO
the light fingered gentry by crowd,
she kept her hand in her pocket and
grasped her purse firmly. Suddenly
she felt sharp prick as from a pin on
her hand and, acting on the impulse,
let go her hold of the purse and
snatched her hand out, almost as quick
ly returning it, but she was too late.
In the few seconds that had elapsed
another hand had been there, and the
purse was gone.

Meanings of the word "stove."

i"W<HptAh&~S "a the w ora "SfOVE."
The word stove as applied to a
heater for room, seems to be of about
the same age as the article to which the
name, is now applied, for while the
word as name had an existence In
early English it was used in a different
sense.
Both Lord Bacon and Woodward
used it as referring to house or room
artiicially warmed and particularly
hothouse for plants. Bacon also used
the word as verb in the way of keep
Ing warm In a house or room, as "to
stove orange trees and myrtles,' to
quote from his writings. Pepys used
the verb in nautical sense, as heating
for the purpose of making pliable. as
''stove bolt ropes"
But all these definitions are obsolete
now, such disuse dating from the time
when DR.. Franklin made his discover
les and applications. The French word
"etuye," it may be added, describes a
hothouse or bathing room, and hence is
parallel in meaning with the early Eng
Gsh word.

ENJOYMENT OF MUSIC.

! The congregation of the First Meth
odist church at Alton, Illinois, which
is close enough to st. Louis to be a
suburb, have just had a remarkable
experience in connection with Wag-
merriam music and new pipe organ,
We are indebted to our old friend. the

count of the affair. 1t seems that the

the congregation in their new organ

good, big whack at Wagner. And
there is where they blundered.

MARX SMITHS SHOES.

The Phoenix Republican attempts to
be merry with the Hon. Marcus A.
Smith because he stated on his return
from Europe recently that he pur-
chased a pair of American shoes in
Germany at from 35 to so per cent less
than he could have bought them at
home. The Republican, which is a
faithful but not fanatical defender
OF the trusts, attempts to divert the
force of Mr.. Smiths illustration of
the benefits the foreigner receives from
the trusts at the expense of the home
consumer by saying he doesn't know
anything about the value of shoes, that
he could not tell the difference be-
tween pair of $3.50 shoes and pair
OF Sc shoes" Perhaps not; but we
doubt it very much. Mark Smith has
been wearing shoes for a good long
time, and has been somewhat noted
for the care with which he encases his
shapely extremities.
But Mr.. Smith only used the shoe
as an illustration of big question
There is no necessity Of confining the
argument to shoes, and attempting to
wiggle out by saying that one shoe
might be better than another without
the difference being visible to the ma
ked eye.
Perhaps the Republican, which
seems to be very wise, can tell us why
an American citizen is required to pay
"a cents per foot for PIP inch gauge
saws, and $1.54 per foot for 10 inch
gauge? These same saws are sold by
the American manufacturers to the
foreigner for q cents and $125 per
foot respectively. Here is a differ
enc of 62 and % per cent in favor
of the foreigner. Can the Phoenix Re
publican explain it? Perhaps the Re-
publican will plead that it knows
nothing about saws. In that event
let us come close to home and invite
attention to a commodity that there is
no manner of doubt the Republican is
familiar with

posed by Wagner. The tremendous
groaning, screaming, tearing sound
which had filled them with such de-
light and wonder was, in fact, the
noise of the plaster wrenched from the
laths all over the ceiling. They
knew this, for during the afternoon
the plaster fell, with almost as great
an uproar as Tannhauser had made the
previous evening in his very finest mo-
ments. Now the congregation are
considering whether they will give up
Wagner or build a new church for the
organ. We await the final decision
with an anxiety too great for words.
