For Bare Floors.

A simple home made preparation for bare floors has been found to be the easiest and the best. Use a pint of turpentine and not more than an ounce of beeswax. Cut the wax in small pieces. about the size of cheese for a welsh rabbit, and soak the bees wax over night in the turpentine. Nev- CT put the mixture close to the stove for the over night soaking will ac- complish more than the risk is worth.
 After your floor has been thorough ly cleaned and well dried, apply the home made mixture with a sponge It will dry very quickly and should then be well polished with a brush made for the purpose. It will not taKe much labor, altough the harder the much labor, although the harder the polish the brighter the do for several rooms. and floor well treated will keep it's polish for two months.

 Your neighbor may post a fo,r- round package to, San Francisco Tor sixty-four cents. It would cost him the same to send it to you next door. A German might mail a ten pound package from Germany to Sau Lake City. you could not without pay ing prohibitory letter-postage rates. Mir. James l.. Cowles sent a suit caso from New York directly to New Ha- ven. The stamps cost s3.6S. He could have sent it via Germany for sl.S5 Offered at any postoffice as , fourthrclass matter. it would not nave been accepted at all. It weigh ed eleven pounds. Practically. then. the United States rostoffice says: Send all but your cmaller packages by slow and uncertain private ex- press and send all your urgent mes- sages by expensive private telegraph or put in telephone" | In London the pneumatic-tube sys- tenn is so perfected that within the ra- dius of London one may send an or i dinary letter, receive an answer, send another and receive an answer to that, in the course of day. Deliv- cries run until 9 and 70 o'clock in the evening
 The English postofice maintains a telegraph systsem, conveying twelve word messages all over Great Britain and Ireland for twelve cents and a parcels post system comparable to the German, and furthermore main tains savings bank. All this pays. An official at the head of a post office division told me he had seen rail way mail clerks heave sacks of the stuff to the coyotes Cf Montana des- erts to save the trouble of handling it. Publishers send newspapers and periodicals at cent a pound to aG- dresses outside the postal district of

 The inference is plain that under strictly business and lon-political man. agement the postal service could be made much better and also made tC pay.
 In successive reports to the Pos tai committee of the house of repre- sentatives, written indubitably by Mr E. F. Loud, the chairman. occur red passage: There is not sane business man in the country who has given the matter any thought but that knows that the pOstoffice depart ment could be operated by private in dividuals on our present appropriation and show a net profit of s30.100, ,00G or $40,000,0OO per year"

WILD GAME IN ARIZONA.
Large and Small and Seasons it Ma,
 Be Killed.

w. l.. PinneN member of the terri torial fish and game commission, submits in Governor Brodie's annual report the following statement which will show the condition of wild game, large and small. in Arizona and the seasons when they may be killed.
 The open game season in AriZo- na for the years 1903. 1904. and 1905. is as follows; Antelope-killing prohibited until January l. 1905; quail. bow white. partridge, pheasant, snipe. rail grouse-October 18th to open ali the year; trout, not less than six inches longtime 1st to Septem- Der 1st; black bass. strawberry bass. crappie-September 1st to Decem- Der 1st.
 Limit-three male deer in one sea son. twenty-five ducks and twenty-five quail in one day Fishing witht hook and line only permitted. Sale of any of the above game prohibited.
 At the solicitation of the sportsmen of the territory the legislature of 1903 made some changes in the game laws, making the deer season earlier in the fall and two weeks longer, and mak- ing the season for killing ducks, geese and brant open all the year. It was formerly tthe same as the quail season. Ducks do not breed in the territory, are never here late in the spring. but are sometimes found in great num- bers late in the summer or early in the fall. before the season opene . under the old law.
 The killing of ante.ope has been prohibited since 1901, and the small scattered bands then in the territory are reported to have multiplied rap idly. Very few have been killed except by the Indians, and prosecutions have been made for violations of the antelope law wherever found. The several varieties of deer in the Terri tory are becoming mo-e numerous. and they may easily be found in any of the mountainous sections.
 Quail are abundant all over Arizona and il is not difficult to Ri the limit any Gay of the open season. Doves in the winter and white-winged pig cons in the summer are more numer- ous than any other game birds we have, and are hunted extensively. The building of the Tonto reservoir and other irrigation works for Stor- ing water will bring large numbers of water fowl here to winter. and it is believed will make Arizona one of the best shooting grounds for ducks and geese in the country.
 h the mountain regions bear and mountain lion are still quite plentiful. The boards of supervisors of the diff ferent counties offer liberal rewards for scalps of wild animals (s2O for lion. s1O for bear. and s1 for wildcat or coyotel. which results in several hundred being killed each year. Several Of the mountain streams abount in trout and bass. Blacn bass, crappie and catfish have been placed in the rivers of Central Ari- zona and are doing well. Carp. suck CTS and other fish peculiar to this sec ton are very plentiful.

THE CITY BEAUTIFUL

Considerable has already been said about the model street at St. Louis Worlds fair.
 Midway of its length. almost direct entrance to the exposition, where rhe railways discharge their passengers. will be spacious quare. This is tc be large enough to provide for the traffic which is always attracted to such central point. In the center Of the square will stand the civic pride monument, designed by J. Massey Rhind, the New York sculptor. who is now engaged upon fountain for the German emperor. The monument will be reflected in a basin Of water, sur rounding il. In the pool may be seen beautiful aquatic plants. The monu- ment and its accessories represent order out of chaos and the civic vir- tue.
 On the south side ot the square vii! stand the city hail of the ideal city This structure, built ty the exposition and designed by Mir. Kelsey. will be a noble composition.
 On the north side of the square, and what is really the Lain gateway to the model street, will stand the model railway station. This will be the ex- hibit of Atlanta, Ga. That metropolis Of the southeast is building a railway station at a cost of s1.000,000. This structure will not be C miniature, nor aa exact reproduction of Atlanta's de- pot. It will, howeve", reproduce the most striking features of the origin al The station is characteristic of Dixieland in that iJ savers of those first architectural efforts of the early Florida fathers. The tall twin towers that grace the main facade are remin- ders of the Moorish architecture that preceded ther enaissarce The build ing united the romance of the Aiham- bra with the modern appointments of New York's 42nd street depot.
 Leading of from the square, to the east and tc the west, following a gen. tie curve, is the main street, to be not less than four blocks long. The vest e-n end is closed with the day nur- sery. This will be a large ornate structure and in it the mother may leave her child, secure in the knowl- edge that it will be we'll looked after b. a corps of trained nurses who will entertain baby while mamma enjoys herself by reviewing exposition won- ders untrammeled.

THE POST-OFFICE AND THE PEOPLE
Political Service Post-why the Immense lume Of Does
 

The recent postal frauds investiga- tion and the numefous indictments growing out of it have shown that the United States postal service is handi- capped and to large extent demor- alized by a political system. Instead Of working on business principles, the postoffice organization is really con- trolled by political officials and con- mittee of congress whose action is also guided primarily by political con- alterations. Writing in the current Worlds Work M. c. Cunniff points cut that our big postal business is carried on under laws passed in 1794 and added to piecemeal by each sue cessive congress.
 The postmaster-geaeral and his four assistants are political heads of the service only. The real machine be- gins With the chief clerks and super intendents and their army of civil-ser | vice subordinates. The political heads sign executive documents in piles. without knowing what they contain, just as they are brought to them by the permanent heads of departments the Beavers and Machens.
 The house postofficc committee de- cides from session to session what the postoffice shall do and shall not do. That means that every proposition to improve the service mas 10 run the gantlet of the interests. A high post office authority is quoted as saying: | Do you suppose We can have a revis- | ion changing the present rates of pay. ing the railroads so -ong as some of the most prominent senators and con- gressmen are identified with transpor- tation interests, or establish a parcels
 post while T. C. Platt, President oi the United States Express company
 is United States senator?"

 ness are tremendous. Through 75,924 postoffices, and in such mass as tc

NEW LIGHT ON OLD MIRACLE.
The Burning Bush" Seen by Moses Recently Discovered and It May Be Exhibited at the Worlds
 Fair

And the Angel of the ":'. appear ed unto him in flame If fir ''ii' CT the midst of bush, and he iookei and behold, the bush burned wi fire, and the bush was not consumed. Ard Moses said. I will now turn as'1e, and see this great sight. why ;he bush is not burnt. And when the Lori saw that he turned aside to see, God called urto him out of the midst Jf the brsh and said. Moses. Moses. And he said. here am l. AnG he said, draw hot righ hither; put of thy shoes from off thy feet; for the place where)n thou stan Jest is hoy ground.-Exodus III z-5.''
 It probably will not be the identical burning bush" that Moses saw that pay be exhibited at the World's Fair. But there is little doubt tnta it is iden- ucal with the species spoken cf il Holy Writ. and so far as Known it is The only one in existance.
 Authentic reports from London state that an English botanist discov- cred in ,he hot and arid plains of Ara bia a remarkable shrub that can ne none other than the burning bush described by Moses. The Englishman procured the wonderful shrub and caused it to be conveyed to the famed Kew gardens on the Thames at Lon- don.

In the event that lie is sue cessful. Mir Hadkinson will plGt. he shrub on the north side of agriclltIre hiil. near the great floral clock.
 Numerous English and French cci- entists who have seen the shrub. de- clare it to be identical wirl, the "hurn- ing bush" which Moses saw burs into flame at his approach sni blaze for some time without beipg consumed. The discovery of the remarkable spec imen is accepted by biblical students as confirming Moses account, and throwing light on one of the most ia nous of the Old Testament miracles.
 The plant at Kew has attained a height of about six feet. It possesses tie remarkable property of exhaling an infammable gas from its flowers, which. on being approached by iisbt, takes fire and burns brightly fer a few moments. The foliage and ilow- CTS remain uninjured while the gas is blazing because of the sap in the piant
 In the hot deserts of Arabia, where the plant naturally grew more vigor- ously than at Kew, a larger Granti'y of gas was exhaled, and the fierce rays of the sun, it is said, often set fire to the gas.
 In appearance the "3urrire bush plant suggests an arid stef'ie habitst Its leaves are of dull, Sas e-sreen col CT. the foliage dense. and small pele pink tinted blossom appeGrs on lhe end of long and slenGor h.ocmins stalk.

 And there are really such mines perhaps six or eight al present known sver the whole wide area of the world. There are three of these about which l know and, their un- doubted great possibilities have fired my imagination.

These names are hardly known to the vulgar throng, aud the mines do not yet rank with theg reat producers; but the Dos Els trellas is valued by its Mexican own CTS at millions of pounds. The Santo Domingo was last year producing 5000 oz a month with five stamps; the Red i jang Lebong has an ore chute 2,OOO 1 feet long 12 feet thick, worth s30 a ton: the Tasmania. now wrestling with an immense flow of water. has at 1,lv0 feet lode of almost similar value and | size: and the Oriental has 200 stamps a. work in the Korean forests, ana over a million tons of ore blocked out, Has mt the Waihi Grand Junction. | too. the makings of fabulous mine ?
