GOOD LEGISLATION.
Austin Statesman.

Austin Statesman.
The governor has signed the bill
providing that notice of all sales Of
real estate under execution shall
hearafter be published in some
! newspaper. While this bill is pee
uliarly beneficial to newspapers, it
is in the interest of the public, in
that it will prevent in a large meas
ure the purchase of such lands by
sharks who do little but watch for
just such opportunities to quietly
possess themselves of lands forced
to sale and which the general pub
lie has no means of knowing about.
Whatever legislation tends to
keep the public informed of the
transfer of real estate is good legis-
lation, and the Statesman approves
it, regardless Of interest. That this
is beneficial to the newspapers
makes it that much more meritor-
ious. 1t is no operous burden to the
litigant, and will in most cases
bring back far more than the add
ed expense.
Representatives Talbot of Wise
and Napier of Wood have rendered
especial service in the passage of
this bill, and Representative Davis
of San Augustine came to the rescue
of the measure at a most opportune
time, for which the newspaper men
and the public owe him thanks.

UPPER TOMBSTONE CANYON.

Just above Castle Rock, residences are going up in fiocks. The new res idence of Emil Marks looms up like a synagogue. The Morris res idence, recently destroyed by fire will soon be replaced by an elegant cottage on the same identical site.
 Dr. Lindstrand, besides his first residence which is rented out. has built bachelors den further up the hill. You climb stairs till you are giddy, and imagine that the doctor has nailed cleats on a rain bow. and ex- pects you to climb it, but you enjoy magnificent view of the Higgins and the whole camp after you get up there. Besides that the doctor has already completed a retaining wall lower down, on which he is proceed ing to build a six room residence. That part of the Canyon is springing up like a mushroom.
 Further up. some five or six fine residences are in course of construc- tion. One of these days some trade establishments will put in their ap- pearance up there, and the popula- tion will not drift down town quite so often. .r,-.s~.
 The elegant Knights of Pythias hall is assuming handsome proportions. Several other new buildings in Bisbee are nearing completion, which if they were out on level ground such as Phoenix or Tucson would excite mr. iversal admiration. Tn view of her typographical situation, Bisbee never did and never will get credit for the variety and elegance of her architec- ture. but she will co the business just the same.

The Hunters Return.

On Saturday evening last Supervis- or J. J. Bowen. Mir. Cunningham and John Twoomey took their departure for Hachita on a duck hunting trip. They returned last night with ducks galore. and claim3 that they killed them all. This may be true. but the conductor of the train says that pro- fessional hunters are selling ducks at the train each day. and he thinks that the hunting party above referred to shot their Gucks with silver car tridges. The hunters will tell their Twoomey was in charge of the game, and would not divide until Bowen and Cunningham made a settlement.

In a city such as ours, where stoping is in full pro- gress near the surface. our nine story buildings are in danger.

EARLY Time Systems.

The gnomon, the predecessor Of the
sundial, was probably one of the earli
est devices for the reckoning Of time.
and 1t may reasonably be concluded
that the Egyptian pyramids, with
their great altitude, formed part of
design for timekeeping by the shadow
thrown on the desert sands. The obe-
lisk, too, in all probability served the
purpose for as n matter Of history an
obelisk at Rome was actually used for
a sundial in the time of Emperor Au-
gustus.
II we could step on board Of a Malay
prao, we should see floating In a bucket
of water cocOanut shell having a
small hole in the bottom through which
the water by slow degrees finds its way
into the interior. The hole In the shell
is so proportioned that the shell will
sink in an hour, when the man on
watch calls the time and sets 1t afoat
again.
The Chinese have a water clock in
use at the present time, which inven-
ton they ascribe to Hwangti, who
lived according to their chronology,
more than twenty-five centuries before
Christ.
The time system of early Rome was
Of the rudest character. The day and
night each were divided into four
watches, the periods of which were
roughly determined by observations of
the course of the sun and stars.

The First Almanac cs.

The almanac, properly so called in its
origin, is not merely device for keep
ing people in mind Of the progress OF
the year. 1t is an attempt to show
what destiny has in store for us as in
dicated by the position of the stars in
any particular year, and as, according
to astrological lore, the destinies of
men are ruled by the different aspects
of the planets, so also the human body
is subject to the influence of the con-
stellations through which the sun ap-
pears to pass in his yearly course. A
French almanac of 1910 gives dia-
gram of the human body surrounded
by all the signs of the zodiac and indi-
Gates the various organs and members
over which these signs have power
and this for guide pour les saignees,
or to show at what periods blood may
be let with safety. But the same al
manac also gives directions sensible
enough for the avoidance of the plague
which would not be found fault with
by modern fashionable physician:
Who would keep his body in health
And resist the infection Of the plague,
Let him seek JOY and sadness fly,
Avoid places where infections abound
And cherish Joyous company.
A few examples exist of almanacs of
this character before the invention Of
printing, although none, 1t is believed,
earlier than the twelfth century. But
some of the earliest specimens Of print
ing are black printed German sheet al
manacs, which are chiefly concerned
about blood letting. "A the Year

Lincoln. Strongest Attribute.

The strongest attribute Of Lincoln
was his power Of self control. Senti-
ment might sway him, but mob never
moved him. When jealousies in the
army bred n popular clamor against
General Grant, while the latter was
winning famous victories In the south
west, Lincoln listened to no word Of
scandal and by his silence rebuked the
defamers of the general who afterward
became the admiration of the world
When In the fevered tumult of passion
an angry north seemed to voice a gen.
eral demand for the infiction of the
death penalty upon Jefferson Davis,
Lincoln listened In silence and waited
for reason to resume its sway. He was
always looking over the heads Of the
crowd. He was always listening to the
still small voice that echoed In the dis
tance, far away from the roar Of vehe-
ment denunciation. The majesty of
the law constantly appealed to his fine
judicial sense.-Leslie's Weekly.

IN BORROWED PLUMAGE.
Well Dressed wsmen who Wear
Goods Sent on Approval.

Well Dressed wsmen Who Wear
Goods Sent on Approval.
When the ways Of some women are
considered. it is less remarkable that
such numbers Of women dwelling in
the large cities dress eXtravagantly
than before their methods of securing
rich costumes for all occasions have
been scrutinized.
There are women, and many Of them
very wealthy, who make regular
practice of having elegant garments
sent to their homes on approval, wear
ing them once and then returning them
to stores or costumers. Some women
will wear dress or cloak to the
opera and send 1t back next morning.
Or they will get hat or wrap and go
driving or visiting in it. The average
person would be astonished to know all
the things, from handsome umbrellas
and fans of great beauty to 1ewelry
and clothes, that some women bor-
row from the shops.
OF course all of these women are not
well Off but they all dress we'll and
20 out a great deal, and although the
shopkeepers often discover TIE manner
in which they are being deceived. they
do not always like to make fuss for
fear Of losing a good customer. Besides
they know that if they incur the enmf-
ty Of such impostors the women are
quite capable Of abusing their goods
and robbing them of ether and mop8
honest customers. Strange as II may
seem, these women generally nlnSle tn
pretty good society, or the fringes Of II
and have some influence in tho matter
Of dress, since they have won the repu-
tation Of always dressing elegantly and
in the newest things.
This sort of imposition had been car
ried on SO often by customer Of Ger.
tain large firm that it's members deter
mined to put a stop to her Haunting
about in borrowed plumage, at least
when the plumage belonged to them.
One Saturday this woman had a splen.

the firm who knew Mrs. Blank as the
offender stationed himself near her

she attended When she sailed down
the aisle after service, resplendent Ia
the borrowed cloak, this man stepped
up to her and said:
How do you do, Mrs. Blank? I am
delighted to see that you like our cloak
well enough to keep it,"
OF course after that she could not re-
turn the cloak.
Still, with all the efforts put forward
by shops and costumers to break up
the pernicious habit of forcible borrow
ing on the part of sundry feminine Gus
toners, the practice goes merrily on.
and many a fair dame with an envi-
able reputation for exquisite dressing
appears but once in garments and hats
that when next seen are bedecking an
other woman or hanging in the show
room of some smart shop.-Washlngto
