AN INTERNATIONAL TOWN.
Nogales Lies in Both Arizona and
Mexico.

1t would be incorrect to date letter
from either Nogales, Arizona, or No
gales, Mexico, alone, for the town be-
longs so thoroughly and completely to
botn that neither half is a town at ALL
1t is the most completely and curiously
international place than can be con-
ceived of. There is no separation of
the two parts visible as you look down
on the town from the hills, and the
life and the ordinary traffic of the
place flow back and forth with no one,
apparently, to say them nay. How
ever, it must not be supposed that there
is free trade across the thoroughfare,
which on one side is called Interna'
tional street and on the other Gale
International.
In the middle of the street, where
the Gale Elias, or main business street,
crosses the international avenue,
stands a stone obelisk about twelve
feet high, and in the vicinity of this
are always one or two guards in civil
ian dress, who pay no attention TO
empty handed passers-by, but will stop
any carriage or any person who offers
to cross with a burden that might con-
tain dutiable material. Occasionally,
on the Mexican side, one sees a Mext-
can soldier in uniform, but the cuartel
near by is too small to hold more than
a small detachment, and neither sol
diers nor uniformed guards are ever
in evidence along the border.
The Americans live apart from one
another in individual houses of all
grades, most of which are very neat,
and some of which are quite fine and
must have been costly. Their streets
run UP the sides of the mountain glen
in which the town is situated. They
have, of course. one large and fine pub
| lie school building and one or two
smaller ones; churches they seem to
have little use for. In among their
houses are the adobe cabins of the
Mexicans, who are their hewers of
wood and drawers of water Ohese
terms being literally correct here, for
| the fuel of the country is knotted and
gnarled wood brought from the hills
on donkeys' backs, and the town wa
| ter won't run up to the higher eleva-
| tionsl.
The air, either with the scent of the
burning wood or without it, is delicious
and eXhilarating. The sunlight gilds
the Santa Rita peaks, the outpost of
Arizona facing toward Mexico. The
climate in early spring is perfection it.

BOOKER wAsHINeToN's HOME.
Great CoIored Educator Buys Boston
Residence.

The estate on Main street, near Co
lumbar, known as the Quincy Loud es-
tate, at South Weymouth. Massa-
chusetts, has been purchased by Book
er T. Washington, the well-known col
ored educator, says the Boston Globe.
The property comprises about two
acres of land a modest two and one
half story structure, with large stable
adjoining. The house is quite old and
will be thoroughly remodeled before
Mr.. Washington takes possession. The
land is adapted for farming, having
been used for that purpose for Il num-
ber of years.
The estate is situated in the resi-
Dental part of the village and is pear
the spacious residence of H. B. Reed
and the Minot Tirrell place on Nam
street.
President w. HI. Baldwin. Jr., of the
Long Island railroad is understood to
have been the agent acting for Mr.
Washington, and the transaction was
consummated before the residents of
the village realized that they were to
have such a distinguished neighbor.
Mr.. Washington has two children at
tending schools in the vicinity of Bos-
ton, and from what could be learned
from various sources in the village it
is the intention of Mr. Washington to
pass only the summer months there.

HOW CHEAP BAKING POWDER rs
MADE

The Health Department of New
York has seized quantity of so-called
cheap baking powder, which it found
in that city. Attention was attracted
to it by the low price at which it was
being sold in the department stores
Samples were taken and the chemist
of the Health Department reported
the stuff to be "an alum powder"
which analysis showed to be compos-
ed chiefly of alum and pulverized
rock.
The powder was declared to be dan
gerous to health. and several thou
sand pounds were earted to the offal
dock and destroyed. 1t is unsafe to
experiment with these so-called
''eheap" articles of food. They are
sure to be made from alum, rock, or
other injurious matter. In baking
powders, the high class, cream of tar
tar brands are the most economical.
because they go farther in use and are
healthful beyond question.

Josiah Lynn.

siah Lynn, who fifty years ago con
Quoted with Gould a number of sue
cessful business enterprises and who
then located in Washington, n. j., to
enjoy his wealth, is now a public
charge, old and blind but cheerful and
philosophical withal
Mr.. Lynn is 73 years old, has snow
white hair and fine intellectual face.
He was when young a good business
man and made money fast. Then came
reverses and his fortune dwindled. His
wife died, friends deserted him and
his eyesight failed. Still he was happy
and even when it became necessary to
remove him to the poorhouse at Kars-
vile, N. j., his courage did not fail.

mons hopefully but is content with
prevailing conditions while they must

Thrift of Foreirners.

Nothing more beautifully illustrates
the small thrift OF foreigners than the
mails. For instance: While we write
for transmission abroad over 10000
900 letter a year, We receive only So
100000. While of unpaid and short
paid letters we send 1853, ,752, the for
eigners affiict us with 2,165,552, on
which we are obliged to pay postage.
While we send abroad 49,157 postal
cards with paid reply, they send as
only 27,713. We write more single
cards than they do. beating them near
ly three quarters of a million in
total of 100000. In short postage
they impose on us annually to the
sum of about 100000 For sending
and receiving this mail the govern
ment pays $2.250, coo a year.

Now, had the good deacon known as
much about poker as the unregenerate
man presumed to know about church
