There is a curious snake (Hydraci

upon birds eggs. 1t has no teeth or
signs of teeth In the mouth, its whole
dental array being locat in the stom-
ach. Buckland says ~ they are not
true teeth. but that ey serve all pur-
poses. They grow from the center Of
each vertebra. They pass through the
walls of the stomach and are covered
with enamel. just like true teeth. This
Is natures provision for breaking eggs
without running the risk of losing the
precious contents. us would be the case
If this egg eating serpent had Its teeth
in the proper place. When the egg is
safely inside, the abdominal walls con-
tract and crush 1t against that long
row Of vertebral teeth.

Bismnrck,s Feed Of oysters.

Bismarck on one occasion told Sid
ney Whitman of his well known feat
in oyster eating. He was once In
Liege. where he ordered some oysters
in restaurant-fifty to begin with.
He saw the lady behind the counter
look up in surprise: SO. when he had
eaten them. wishing to see what effect
it might have on her, he ordered an
other fifty, and so on until he had
eaten ITO oysters. Mr.. Whitman adds
that at is only fair to remember that
in ail probability they were the small
Ostend variety"

Dairy Pointers.

if you do they will show it at the
milk pail and in the butter fat.
In selectinga dairy COW, see that
the teats are set well apart, and are
of good size. A short, small teated
COW is nuisance to milk.
Cream should always be churned
colder in the summer than in the
winter, if satisfactory results are OBJ
tanned.
Don't mix fresh skinned cream
and old cream together and then
chuln Immediately, asthe fresh cream
will not churn as rapidly as'the old
er cream that has been ripened
Always stir the cream thoroughly
after putting fresh cream w, older
cream; then it will ripen together.
There are many important lessons
to be learned by the dairyman, but
the one who has learned how to feed
and care for his cows, has learned
two of them.
Over half the milk produced is
sold by weight or measure without
regard to it's composition or food
value. Milk containing a high per
cent of fat isz not only worth more
for food, but it costs more to pro-
iduce it than milk containing low
percentage Of fat, and its price
should be governed by the amount
of fat and food value it contains, and
and not by its bulk.
II has been ascertained by tests,
that often one quart of milk contains
twice the butter fat and food value
of another, and yet both sell at the
same price.
Milk being an excellent medium
for the growth of bacteria, it is
very important that it be keptas free
from germs as possible. No other
food is produced under conditions
where it is so difficult to prevent
contamination.
From sanitary standpoint, there
is room for much improvement in
many diaries.
No other food will absorb bad
odors SO quickly, as will dairy pro-
ducts, and none other will deteriorate
more rapidly under unfavorable CON
ditions.
/ All dairy utensils and everything
with which the milk comes in contact
should be rinsed, thoroughly wash
ed and sterilized by scalding with
boiling water, and placed in the sun
when it can be done.
Bottles used in delivering milk
for direct consumption must be thor
oughly washed and sterilized with
boiling water after each using, tc
avoid the danger Of carrying disease
from one house to. another.
There is much talk about the con
tamination of milk, but the larger
part of this contamination comes
from the udders during milking. tt
avoid this, all udders should be
washed before milking. 1t is much
more necessary that this be done
where the milk goes direct to tn.
consumer, than if it went to the sep
arator
Where deep setting is used, goot
results are obtained where the can,
are placed in water which is held a
a temperature Of about forty or evel
fifty degrees. If flowing water il
available, a somewhat higher TEN
lperature will prove effective. In thi

South African "wafels" vastly differ
from our waffies merely in being made
with Wine as a "moistener' rather
than with milk for the principal liquid
ingredient. In South Africa when they

Sail among the swiftest fleet,
Rocking on the highest pillows.
Laughing at the storms y0n meet,
You can stand among the sailors,
Anchored yet within the bay,
You can lend o nand to help them
As they launch their boats away.
If you are too weak to journey
Up the mountain. steep and high,
You can stand within the valley
While the mullitudes go by;
You can chant In happy measure
AS they slowly pass along
Though they may forget the singer,
They will Otfcrget the song.
Ifyou have not gold and silver
Ever ready at command;

Reach an ever-helpillg hand,
You can succor the afflicted.

Prove yourself soldier true.

The Fl Paso carnival closed this week after a nine days run. While the weather during the first week was enough to drive the visitors home. still the great majority remained over and enjoyed the attractions to the end. The contests pulled off were the best ever seen in the west. Especially was this so in the drilling contest and the steer-tying. Not referring to the bad
 weather that prevailed for three days. the carnival was a success and the Fl Paso people went out of their way 10 make the visitor feel at home.

 Certain statesmen at Washington professed to be greatly mortified by disclosure of the fact that gaming is recognized and regulated by law in Arizona, and it was at once concluded that this territory was unfit for state hood And yet, in all the history of the territory no man paying the reg ular license has dared to set up a crooked" game.

EASTERN AND WESTERN GAMBLERS

For years one Garfield of New York has been described as the worlds gentleman gambler His establishments at Saratoga and in the metropolis outclassed anything to be seen elsewhere. He courted the pat ronage of millionaires only, and per sonally affected a turn for literature and fine art. A short time ago Dis trict Attorney Jerome made a raid on the Garfield place in New York, and secured such evidence that the proprietor fled to Europe Garfield, the crony of Tammany hall leaders, was represented as the soul of hon. or" His. games were as square" as square could be. But now that the idol has been attacked by law, an other well known" gambler thus dis. cusses the painful subject:
 "Of course they used a brace box in Canfeld's faro game. Likewise they used a crooked roulette wheel These things are used in every gam bling house in New York. The man who goes up. against the game in New York has about as sSRauch chance as 2 man with, talIow legs in the lower re gions. Proprietors of gambling houses are out to make money, and they don't care much how they make it or, they'd be in some other pus'ress There are simply different methods ot robbing their patrons" said wei known gambler here tonight.

uNcRATEFuL CALIFORNIA

Press dispatches last night bring the news of a resolution that was in- troduced in the state senate of Cali fornia endorsing statehood for Ari- zona To our surprise the resolution was defeated by vote of 26 to and California has turned up her nose at Arizona in a decided manner and Tn such a way that it will not soon be forgotten.
 The people of Arizona were inclined to make excuses for the untenable DO sition of Senator Bard. They made allowances for one mans ignorance and his distortion of facts, believing that his expressed sentiment was not endorsed by his constituents, but the elected representatives of the people of California, in senate assembled, have by their action o2 the senate res olution, shown that their professed friendship for Arizona has been a sham. Senator Bard has expressed the true sentiment as it exists and il is well that Arizonans bear it in mind. The trade of Arizona or our friendship is not appreciated. Year after year our merchants have been heavy buy CTS from the sleek Angeleno and in the summer have vied with each other in dumping their ready money into the California coffers. For this privilege we have asked no favors, but when Arizona stands with barred head before the highest tribunal in the United States and asks-nay, de mands, that which is justly hers, our seeming friends on the Pacific have taken it upon themselves to intro duce a resolution in the California senate, in order that it might be tele- graphed to Washington with the fol- lowing inscription. Defeated in the California senate January goth, by a vote of 26 to 7' This is the thanks California has voted Arizona on the converting of it's legis, ature. The in- suit should not be allowed to go un- challenged and by this act the com mon interests heretofore existing, or until this time, supposed to exist, be tween California and Arizona, has been severed. Arizona will owe Cali fornia nothing in the future. Our friends lay to the east of us and not to the west. Fl Paso deserves our favors and not Los Angeles.

DOCTOR IS "MIFFED"

Over at Tombstone there is a learn ed physician in charge of the county hospital We make this assertion upon the testimony of the residents of the county seat who have watched his administration of the hospital depart ment of COchise county for the past two years. All of the latest devices known to the medical world are to be found at Tombstone and the coun- ty patients receive the benefit of them. This is well and probably no county hospital patient in the ter ritory enjoys more expert medical at tention that those confined in the hos pital et Tombstone.
 As the popu atioD of Cochise county has increased, so has the number of indigents in like proportion, until the hospital expenses have really become 9 burden. A large number of the so- called patients" confined at the Tombstone hospital require no medi- cal attention whatever from one month to the other, They are indi- gents and if confined on a poor farm, where they could be employed with light labor, it is evident that the ex- pense of their keeping could be re duced and in small way they would be self-sustaining
 Anent this subject of caring for the indigent sick and the discussion of proposed poor farm, the county phy sician, John E. Bacon, NJ. D.. has written the following letter to the Tombstone Prospector:
 Tombstone, Jan. 9th, 1903.
 Ed Prospector: Your oft repeated squib concerning the estsblishment of poor farm on the San Pedro river having been taken up by the Range News and the Bisbee Review has evi- dently had it's effect on the board of supervisors and an earnest attempt to cut down the number of patients in the hospital and to curtail the number of admissions is evident. "A grateful constituency will no doubt rise up and call you blessed and a reduction in your tax rate will no doubt be made after a lapse of some years, but in the meantime it will be necessary to cut expenses at | the hospital proportionately and therefore one copy of the Prospector is all that will be required from this date Kindly revise my subscription to that extent, and have the paper delivered at my house as heretofore. Very respectfully,
 John E. Bacon, NJ. D." i Just the exact object the learned doctor had in view when he dictated the above communication to the Prospector is not evident. If the
 board of supervisors have determined to reduce the expenses of this county
 in the direction of the hospital, they
 are to be congratulated, the views oi
 the doctor in charge to the contrary
 notwithstanding. It is a simple mat
 ter of economy to the taxpayers ot
 this county and as we said before tho
 board of supervisors are to be con . graduated on the steps they hay, taEen

SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK.
what Is Being Done by the American
Union.

The greatest missionary society in tn,
waald along Sunday school lines is tn,
American Sunday School Union, organi
zed seyenty:nine years ago in the city OF
Philadelphia and having for its board OF
managers thirty=six Christian gentlemen
selected from every evangelical demon
nation or nearly so. This society now
employs nearly 300 missionaries, work
ing in every state and territory in the
United states. Fourteen of these men
are working in our own state and one OF
them is now in the county of Blue Earth
viz: Mr.. j. E. Robinson, who called upon
The Free Press day or two ago and
gave the information contained herein
In travelling over this county he finds
whole townships without church OF
Sunday School privileges of any kind
Already he has located fourteen central
points where Sunday schools may and
should be organized. This work he in
tends to push without delay as far as
possible.
Some of the distinguishing features of
the work Of the American Sunday School
Union are:
1t is a work of outlying rural dis
tricts.-The churches themselves are busy
in the work OF city evangelizing and in
caring for the villages. Home missionary
work, as ordinarily understood, means
work in localities where the population
is large enough to give speedy promise
of a church The American Sunday
School Union presses beyond these lines
and works among the needy outlying
rural populations otherwise unreaehed.
Sunday schools can be organized i'll the
remotest hamlets, and thus the gospel
among them is placed upon a permanent
basis.
The year closing February 2S, 1902, in
the missionary work of the Arlericarn
Sunday Scohol Union was marked with
evidence of very successful results. Its
chief feature was large increase OF
careful aid given to Sunday schools al
ready in existence, for the purpose of
strengthening them and securing their
permanence. Two Thousand three hun
bred and sevepiy-five schools were or
ganized. bringing nnder systematic re-
ligious instruction over 5000 boys and
girls who would otherwise mostly, be
unreached, More than 5000 conversions
were recorded during the year, ia
churches have been the outgrowth OF one
years work. In the last few years over
400 churches have deveioned from the
work in this state. Where there Is no
need for a new church-and this Is tr,@
fact in nine cases out of ten, especially
in the older settled counties the httle
Sunday school started in the back dis
trict acts as feeder to the church at
the center. The Sunday school interests
the people in the gospel; they begin to
90 to church, and the little country
church, which before was ready to per-
ish, grows strong. Thus the American
Sunday School Union, in starting rural
Sunday schools, is continually helping
the churches.
