LAW BEING ENFORCED TO THE STRICT LETTER IN FL
 PASO

The law governing importations or cattle through the Fl Paso port of en- try is now being more strictly en- forced and interpreted than hereto fore. Because of the lax manner in which this law was formerly enforced many importers, practicing their form
 CT slipshod ways of making out papers of entry, are meeting up with trouble
 Last Friday, says the Times. Jose de la Luz Garcia, a butcher of Ysleta, imported thirty-four head of butcher stuff. employing well known broker, who should be informed upon custom house regulations, to transact his business through the custom house. The entry was made, either through careIessness or ignorance of the law in such a manner as to impose an in crease of duty and a fine amounting to s225.1 and entailing the seizure Of twenty-four head of the importation, which were undervalued at over 50 per cent.
 The collector of customs communi- cafed with the secretary of the treas ury by wire, requesting that the cat tle be released upon the payment Of the duty upon the value as found after

appraisement by the customs inspec- tor, as he did not think there was any willful intent upon the part of the importer to defraud the revenue. But answer was received that under the law he was powerless to act, and that the said twenty-four head of cat tie must be seized and the increased duty paid, leaving Mir. Garcia only one course to pursue. through the courts, which will cause him great trouble and annoyance as well as considera- ble money.
 The law strictly defines that in ap- praisements the appraisement must be at the market price of the cattle in the section in which they are bought. If. for instance, cattle are bought at s5 per head, across the river and the market value of those cattle is s10, then in making entry you are obliged to appraise them at s10 and not at s5.
 It seems that in the case of Mir. Garcia the broker to whom he entrust- ed the importation appraised the cat tie ata valuation of ss.30 a head which, according to the market price of cattle in the section from which
 
 than 50 per cent below the price, and when they entered at such a valuation the customs authorities had no other recourse than to seize. The duty on the cattle was but s3.75 per head and had the appraisement been at s14 per head. a figure that would have been more nearly correct, the duty would have been the same. In this instance the carelessness of the brok- CT or his ignorance of law, has caused an importer. who had no intention whatever to in any way avoid the law, great deal of loss and annoyance. It seems that the broker is the one at fault and no doubt he was only doing as he had often done before in the early days when business matters were conducted in a more careless way than at present.

JUST A YEAR OFF
The Date of the Phoenix Meeting of
 Federation of Labor

Whatever alarm was aroused among politicians by the story that the Arizona Federation of Labor would meet here on August 19 of this year was unnecessary. The meeting will not be held until August 19 of next year. and by that time the mis- understanding between Colonel Will son and Mir Shannon will have been forgotten. The mistake as to the date of the meeting came about by the misreading of a telegram from Prescott relating to the proceedings of the late convention there. At any other time the telegram would have been clearly understood. but in the ex- citement which prevailed in demo cratic circles about that time it was an easy thing to mistake one year for another.
 The meeting to be held in Phoenix is to be the annual meeting of the federation This town has not been chosen because it is great labor center. but because it is a geosraph- ical center.

The work of installing the new boilers will rot interfere with the running of the furnace now in commission.
 Willie Crampton while returning from the O. D. mine early last Friday morning was hurt by falling from his horse. At the railroad crossing near the Mountain View hotel, the forward cinch broke and the horse bucked vigorously. throwing Willie. onto the track. His forehead and chin were badly confused and other portions of the body bruised He was fortunate in escaping more serious injury.

 A c. Sieboth returned on Monday from Queen creek. where he started development work with a good force of miners. on the Golden Eagle mine, bonded from George Loeb. The Golden Eagle is. one of the old mines of the Silver King district and was a large producer twenty years ago, having supplied two mills with ore. The mine is opened up by about 2.000 feet of tunnels, winZes, etc, and there is considerable ore in sight, which will be blocked out as rapidly as pos sible. The ore which carries good values in gold and copper. is base. and the cyanide or chlorination pro- cess will probably be employed for its reduction.
 From Thos. Kavanaugh, foreman of the Troy-Manhattan Copper company, we learned that development of the properties at Troy is being actively carried on with force of seventy miners. The Alice shaft is going down in good ore. At the Sisson the 400-foot station is being cut; the sec ond level is looking extremely well. Week before last the work of sinking a shaft on the Copper Queen mine Of the Manhattan group was begun. This shaft is being put down between two strong lodges which have been prospected by tunnels and winzes to a moderate depth and which have open ed good ore. The smelter is idle at present. and owing to the shortage of water it will probably not be started up again for some time. Manager Charles H. Cutting is still in the east

Grinding Food for Stock.

OOu 1OT 0tOChs
While there are differences of opin-
ion as to whether or not food for stock
ought to be ground, there is no doubt
but what young stock of all kinds
thrive best on the ground food. This Is
but natural, for the Immature stomach
is much better able to digest the ground
food than the whole grain. That ground
food is also beneficial for mature stock
no one will deny, and yet how benef-
cial depends both on the food used and
upon the animal.
Wheat fed to hogs must of course be
ground Or the hard portions will pass
through the animal undigested; so with
other foods fed to different animals.
and the feeder should use common
sense in determining whether it will
or will not pay to grind the food he has
to give. Many cows of considerable
age would still be profitable if more
care was taken in the preparation of
the food given them. While the sub
ject is one that must be largely worked
out by the feeder. it will pay every time
to follow the suggestion that food for
young stock be ground.

Ruay With a HISTORY.

The kings coronation crown is to be
adorned with what is termed "the
Black Prince ruby" 1t is not gener-
ally known that this stone, which now
forms the center of the Maltese cross
on the late Queen Victoria's crown, is
not ruby at all, but simply a red
spinel. 1t is of large size, and if it
were a, true ruby would far surpass in
value the koh-i-noor itself, for rubies
never run to the same size as diamonds,
and being also far rarer are consider
ably more valuable in price per carat.
A four carat ruby, for instance, would
be worth about $40, ,0C0, probably even
more if it we're flawless stone; four
carat diamond would not be worth the
half of that sum.
The so-called "Black Prince ruby"
derived its name from the fact that it
was given to Edward, the Black Prince,
by Don Pedro of CASTLE in gratitude
for the victory of Longoro in April,
1867, which restored the throne of
Spain to Don Fedro. Henry V wore it
in his helmet at the battle of Agin-
court, and it has ever since fo-med Iart
of the crown jewels of England. In
spite of its having been proved to be
nothing but spinel it still figures in
the description of the regailia as a
"ruby," and as such was shown at the
famous exhibition of 1862, when the
royal jewels were one of the most in
teresting exhibits.

Green Food for Swine,


Those who have had experience; in
feeding swine during the early days of
spring before there is any pasture fit to
eat realize that the expense. for grain
is very heavy without any correspond
ing increase in the weight of the ami.
mails. Such results are discoura ging,
but the remedies are to provide such
crops as clover alfalfa and an abund.
ance of root crops to feed at intervals
during the winter. but mainly at this
time, between seasons.
Then if it is still possible to get in
an early pasture composed of wheat or
rye sown early, following this with
rape at the proper season. and as the
ground becomes warm using sweet
corn or sorghum sown so as to cut
when needed. the want will be sup
piled. = =,
There is some objections to feeding
heavily of grain food early : iii the
spring, but this comes mainly because
a supply of salt and ashes is. not sup
piled as an aid to digestion and to off
set any tendency to dysentery. This
question is worth looking into by those
who raise swine in large numbers,

While lime is generally used in the
preparation of bordeaux mixture, in the
best known and most reliable of the
insecticides or remedies for fungus
diseases, other neutralizers may be
used with the copper sulphate, such as
concentrated lyes. For the beginner
in the use of the spraying tools the lime
is, however, the best to use, although
there is much complaint regarding it
because of the injury to sprayers. This
is due, without doubht to the fact that
poor lime is used; that it is used too soon
after shaking, and that it is not prop
erly strained. The lime should be of
the first quality, such as is used by
builders, and it should be slaked for
two or three weeks before being used,
so that all possible of the gritty ma
terial that is apt to clog or injure the
nozzle of the sprayer may be dissolved.
Then the lime should be strained
through cheesecloth, to keep out the
grit that was not dissolved.

CHAPTER VI.

I had tacitly assented to Freeman S
suggestion, that no more was to be
thought or said of Dick $ horrible pam
tomimic confession; but it impressed
me as being too vivid to be lightly dis
carded as without any basis of fact. I
continued to think of it very much: l
thought of it more because, in spite OF
the unreasona bleness of such coniunc-
tion, and its manifest "waste of detec-
tive speculation" (as Freeman would
have saidl, the vapors, so to say, of

But discovery l made about this
time-trivial, apparently, yet to me

in my imagination. One night while
I sat thinking of my return to London
took up my Bradshaw, and carelessly
began noting the times of trains from
the neighboring large town to the me-
tropolis. The lines of three companies
passed through it, and l became inter-
ested in noting how the rivals ran fast
and still faster trains against each
other. In this survey my attention
was fixed by a very small fact: one

chestnutting inaThessa1y.


1t is said that the chestnut was dis
covered by the old Romans at a place
called Castanea, In Thessaly. They
called z1tr the Castanea nut, whence
comes our name of chestnut. Strange
to say, they held it in light esteem, and
the patrieians would not eat it. leaving
1t to the common people. And the COM
mon people soon found out how good
and nutritious it was, and it became a
regular article Of food with them.
In Italy to-day the nutting time Is
one of the important seasons of the
year,4for many of the people almost
depend on the chestnuts for their food
So important is-it that the schools are
required by law to have a vacation at
that time, so that the children may go
sout and shelp the older people gather
the nuts 1t is by no means a pleasure
excursion, but irregular industry.
Whole families go out into the hills
and camp there for a; month. During
this. time they scour the. woods every
day-men, women and children-each
person having canvas bag suspended
from the waist, into which are put the
nuts as. they are picked up from the
ground They do not throw sticks and
stones into the trees to knock the nuts
down, as the boys in this country do,
but gather only those that have fallen
out of the burTs. The nuts .ripen under
the combined action of the sun and the
frost, and the burrs then open and the
nuts drop to the ground. The crop is so
abundant that the gatherers always
find enough to keep them busy.
Some of the nuts are saved to be
eaten as nuts, but most of them are
dried and ground into flour, from which
a kind of porridge called polenta is
made. Little cakes, called necci; are
also made out of it.
The drying is done in huts built out
on the hills specially for that purpose
The nuts are spread out on the floor
and low fire Is kept in the hut to give
a certain degree of heat, which soon
dries them. The drying is merely the
evaporation of some of the water from
the nut by means of the warmth.

Boys on the Farm.

Boys on the Farm.
The boy who Is in love with machin-
cry ought not to be compelled to give
up that love to remain on the farm.
So. too. there may be the boy whose
whole soul is full of music and who
ought to think of no other profession.
or the one to whom questions Of law
appeal with supreme force, or the one
to whom the practice of medicine seems
especially enticfng. So. too, there may
be the man especially adapted for sue
cess in business. The boy who lacks
energy, who Is willing to be led. who
finds 1t too hard work to think, who is
willing to be directed may pass life
of more composure working under the
direction OF another in some city call
ing.
The young men who ought to consid-
er whether they may not better remain
on the farm also fall into two classes.
In the first class comes the boy who
loves the farm. There are such boys;
there would be far more but for the
parents. 1t is surprising how many
young men the teacher meets whose
parents urge. If not insist, that they
shall follow some other calling than
farming.
The second type of young men who
may well consider farm opportunities
is the bright, all round boy who may
easily become interested in anything.
This embraces the largest class of all.
wish l might impress upon the
young men belonging to these two
classes the fact that the farm offers
opportunities second to those extended
by no other calling. The chances for
the majority are better in agriculture
than in other lines. These chances do
not include the opportunity to amass
fortune, but one need only consider
the large percentage of business fall
ures to realize that the chances in such
lines are not so great as they seem.

of success, though this is hard lesson
for humanity to learn. I can imagine

the term draft On horses of specified
weight and size, but there are other
classes on the market whose confor-

as the draft form,' but which differ
from the drafter in the matter of size
and weight and the manner of per-
forming their work. The drafter prop
er works always at a walk. while other

When David Livingston was a boy he
showed that the words fail and dscour-
agement were not to be found in his
books. At the age of 10 years he was
put to work in a factory. Long hours
and hard labor did not move him from
his purpose. Early in the morning and
late at night he continued his education
so that he was able to read both Horace
and Virgil with ease on his sixteenth
birthday. He felt that 1t was his duty
to be missionary, yet his tastes turn
ed in the direction of medicine.
In the early days of his African work
he spent much of his time relieving dis
tress among the natives and visiting
the sick. Writing to friend he said:

to medicine and medical studies some

Where Nature doth her charms display.
