A TIMELY SUGGESTION.

This is the season of the year when the prudent and careful housewife re- plenishes her supply of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It is certain to be needed before the winter is over, and results are much more prompt and sat isfactory when it is kept at hand and given as soon as the cold is contracted and before it has become settled in the system In almost every instance a se- we're cold may be waIded off by talk ing this remedy freely as soon as the first indication of the cold appears. There is no danger in giving it to chil- dren for it contains no harmful sub stance. It is pleasant to take-both adults and children like it. Buy it and you will get the best. It always cures.

TERRITORIAL TEACHERS
The Opening of the Institute at Tempe
 Yesterday.

Tempe. Arizona, December 20.
 The Territorial Teachers assoc;a- ton assembled at the Normal audi torium one hundred and siXty-two strong at 10 a. m., the appointed time and proceeded at once to carry out the carefully arranged programme.
 Miss Strange was elected secretary and MT. Hendrix assistant
 Professor Matthews of the Tempe Normal gave an address of welcome In which he cheerfully and enthusiasttcai- ly set forth the pleasure the citizens of Tempe derive from having the teachers meet with them. He told the teachers that homes. conveyances and the Nor maj school all were open for them Tor the'r use and comfort. He spoke or the duties and responsibilities of teach CTS. Everybody felt that the welcome was cordially extended.
 In the absence of Professor Taylor of the Flagstaff Normal school Presl- dent F. Yale Adams of the University of Arizona responded with appropriate remarks.
 Miss Drew rendered Q recitation foi the first number on the programme.
 MT. Peterson took up the system of NllllnS WnlGn lS d lilluNlt SfOuilu Dt- tween the old slant system and the vertical system. A number or the teachers objected to the vertical sys- tenn for various reasons. Some be- cause they could not write it them selves, some because they thought it not a success and results are not being obtained.
 Professor Lee and Supt. Fulton en- gagged in a discussion of the relative merits of the system on the ground Of what people think of it. Prof. Scud- der thought the vertical the best fOT children as il is the easiest way of eX- precision and besides it meets the de- mands of what writing is for. Miss Kester agreed with the latter view. MT Alexander asked that the discussion be held closer to the work of the first speaker.
 Dr. Blome took up pedagogy as it shows itself in geography. He em- phasized the principle that the proper mode of procedure is from the near tl the more remote, so from the known to the nearest related unknown. He illustrated how geography of Arizona is the fit place to start. River basins farming, climate, etc.. are the factors of this home geography and they should be mastered and used as tools in quest of farther knowledge. Miss Wingar followed immediately with a paper on the "Georgraphy of Arizona" and mol- particularly the Salt River valley. Her recommendations as to the subjec; matter of geography were in accord with the principles laid down by Dr Blome.
 The programme was then abandoned and the Liquid Air eXperimenter took the floor. over four hundred peopie witnessed the experiments. The peo- pie felt well paid for their time and money and hour or more in the wonder land of science. A still larger attend ance is expected tomorrow at the as sociation. An informal reception will: be given to the teachers at the Casa Loma tonight.

A GOOD RECOMMENDATION.

'I have noticed that the sale on Chamberlain's Stomach & Liver Tab lets Is almost invariably to those who have once used them." says Mir. J. H. Weber. prominent druggist of Cas- cade, Iowa. What better recommenda- ton could any medicine have than for people to call for it when again in need of such a remedy? Try them them when you feel dull after eating. when you have bad taste in your mouth. feel bilious. have no appetite or when troubled with constipa tion, you are certain to be delighted with the promptthe prompt relief which they afford.

Railroads Help Temperance.

Confirming with new evidence of q novel sort, our frequent assertions that the railways of the country are doing more and more practical temperance work than any other agency or organ ization-perhaps than all other agencies or organizations-in it, comes the re- port that the Lake Shore road has in formed the town of Collinwood. Ohio. that $1,0000O0 will be spent there in enlarging the machine shops if the town goes dry" at the approaching election. and that the money will be taken elsewhere if the town goes wet. = The reason given for assuming this po- sition involves no judgment on the morality. or even on the propriety, of drinking, either in modera tion or in excess; the railway officials simply state that indulgence in intoxlcants de creases the skill of workmen, and pre- vents getting a desired and possible return for wages paid. That is an ar gument which cannot be met except by a denial of its truth-and nobody de- nies it. Collinwood may or may not "go dry but if it does the prosperity of all its business men not engaged in the liquor traffic obviously will be advanced. and if it does not they vii. know exactly why they are not 10 have a lot of new customers and a larger popula tion among whom to share the burden of taxation. Most towns like machine shops. and those that have them like to see the shops made bigger and employing more machinists. No doubt Collinwood is in this class. and it will be interesting to see what effect the effort of the Lake Shore 10 infiu- ence its electors on the temperance question will have.-New York Times.

Crowns by Wholesale,

1t is told of one of the ancient kings
of Egypt that his coronation process
sion occupied whole day in passing
through the city of Alexandria and
that 5000 crowns of gold We're carried
by the servants. One crown was three
feet in height and twenty-four feet in
circumference. There were also car
red in the procession siXty-four suits
of golden armor, two boots of gold
four and half feet in length, twelve
golden basins, ten large vases Of per-
fumes for the baths, twelve ewers,
fifty dishes and large number of
tables-all of gold. Twenty-three of
the 5000 crowns were valued at 1884,
400, and it is not surprising that the
procession was guarded by 10000 SOL
diers.-St. James Gazette.

The iron maiden is terror inspir-
ing torture instrument made of strong
wood coated with iron. 1t opens with
two doors to allow the prisoner to be
placed inside. The entire interior is
fitted with long, sharp iron spikes, so
that when the doors are pressed to
these sharp prongs force their way
into various portions of the victims
body. Two enter his eyes. others pierce
his chest and, in fact, impale him alive
In such manner that he dies in the
most agonizing torture. Persons were
condemned to death by the embraces
of the iron maiden for plots against the
governing powers, parricide, religious
unbelef and murder.
The date of this instrument Is the
fifteenth century. 1t is believed that
the iron maiden Is purely and peculiar
ly relic of old Nuremberg, as at that
date we do not read Of it anywhere
else, while the annals Of that town con-
tain many illusions to its terrors.

His First Taste of Discipline.

Admiral Jouett, probably one of the
jolliest seadogs our navy ever knew,
once told this amusing story of his
early days as cadet:
II was sociable youngster," he
says, "and when went to my first as
signment, the Independence, and saw
the stars and stripes floating over it
remembered my mother had taught
me that my first duty was to the flag,
SO l attempted some conversation on
this line with the executive officer who
had received me when came on board
and who was one of the strictest disci-
plinarians in the navy of that day.
Silence, sir! he roared at my first
question, his face red with anger. Isl
lence. sir Who gave you permission
to speak2 Let me hear only six words
from you, sir, while you are on this
ship-"port," "starboard," ''yes, SIR"
and mo, sir"'
"And this was my first discipline in
the navy"

PRECOCIOUS AUTHORS.

Successful Plays That Were Written
by Boys In Their Teens.
Was a successful play ever written
by boy of fourteen? asks corre-
spondent Yes. This seeming miracle
has happened at least three times. The
best known example Of the precocious
playwright Is the celebrated Lope de
la Vega, the most prolific dramatist
known to history. He produced his
first play, comedy, entitled LA Pas
toral de Jacinto," before he had COM
pleted his fourteenth year, and this
was considered such marvellous per-
formance that he Is known to this day
In Spanish literature as "the Prodigy
Of Nature" Another Spaniard and con-
temporary of La Vega, Pedro, Calde-
ron, wrote his first play when he was
thirteen. Metastasio wrote his tragedy
"Giustino" and had 1t produced when
he was fourteen on the stage at Bo-
logna.
OF English playwrights Douglas Jer-
rold, the famous author Of "Black
Eyed Susan," also furnishes an answer
" tue lueotloii. LII 1910, DeloIe ne udu
completed his fifteenth year, he wrote
very well known farce entitled
More Frightened Than Hurt" 1t was
very successful on the English stage,
and the French considered 1t good
enough to steal. Curiously enough,
this French translation was retrans-
lated into English and again produced
on the English boards under the title
Of Fighting by Proxy" Another very
remarkable instance of different sort
of precocity was that of William Hen
ry Ireland, who when he was about
fifteen actually produced some plays
which he attributed to Shakespeare
and which, although afterward proved
to be forgeries, were accepted by the
experts Of the time as genuine.-Pear-
sons Weekly.

What New Zealand Has Done.


From the Church Review.
New Zealand has done the most dar-
ing things ever attempted by any
modern government. The New Zea-
landers claim that New Zealand is a
country without strikes. Laborers and
employers have their disputes there as
elsewhere, but the one cannot quit
work, or the other lock out workmen,
pending settlement OF the dispute in
courts. 1t is also country without
paupers or poorhouses, for injured work.
men are cared for by their employers.
The aged workman is pensioned by the
government as soldier OF industry
worn out In the ranks.
The government owns not only the
postal system, but the express service,
the telegraph lines and the railroads.
Recently it has purchased a coal mine
to supply its locomotives with fuel, and
it intends to compete with private mines
in the sale of coal to the public far
enough to keep the price OF coal down
to a reasonable figure.

The bluejay is a practical joker. 1t
is his habit to conceal himself in Il
mass of leaves near the spot where
small birds are accustomed to gather
and when they are enjoying them
selves in their own fashion to sud-
denly frighten them almost to death
by screaming out like a hawk. OF
course they scatter in every direction,
and when they do so the mischievous
rascal gives vent to cackle that
sounds very much like laugh.
