A REMEDY FOR SPRING ILLS.

Science has taught the wise to look t. nature for remedy for spring ills. h. stead of the nauseating mixtures given as medicine at this season, the learned housewife will set her remedies before the family in appetizing salads, greens, etc. If one wants to escape that tired, rundown feeling that comes with the first real spring days, it is none too early to make a change in the menu from the heavy. heating foods of win ter to the lighter, blood-purifying diet of spring.
 Drop the heavy rich soups.
 In place of pork, sausage and similar energy foods, substitute eggs, veal. chicken. and the most delicate mea t2 and fish. Fish is an excellent food at this season.
 Eat plenty of salads and fruits.
 Let cress, lettuce. spinach, onions and such foods that purify the system figure every day in some form in the menu.
 Spinach and such greens-there is 9 whole host of them-cannot be inl- proved upon for medical qualities. Spinach is called the broom of the stomach. and eaten once or twice a week will wonderfully tone up the sys- tenn.

MAKING RUBIES.

A Frenchman. NJ. Verneuil. has sue ceeded in manufacturing artificial rub ies by a new process of fusing alum mum. He read a paper describing his experiments at recent meeting of the academy of sciences in Paris. The largest ruhies he made weighed more than fifteen carats. but when the pro- cess is finished these stones will be split in two. forming half spheres, which he says may be orked by lapi- diaries and cut like natural stones.
 Experts to whom he submitted the product of his laboratory pronounced them to be of the same hardness and as capable of fine polish as the real gems. The only fly in the ointment-a fortunate one. perhaps. for the mex pert purchaser of pigeon bloods-lies in the drawback of internal discolora- tions. or bubbles of air. particularly in the larger stones so produced. The in ventor. however, thinks that with time and further experimentation this diff culty will be o5viated.
 In New York the makers of artificial rubies use the "chippings" from the real stones for the purpose, grinding the bits into fine powder, then fusinS them by chemical processes into a kind of red paste, which, when hardened and treated. present so exact counter part of the real gems that even experts have been deceived. They are able to make a very clear. translucent ruby in this manner, which may be pur- chased for about $50, while Q real pig con blood of the same size would sell for upward of $500.
 These make believes are more eX- pensive and also much truer to nature than. the ordinary paste jewels which are manufactured out of kind of com position having not even the faint claim of a ruby chip to make them seem "the real thing" The paste ruby can be bought for few dollars per carat.

coRBIN's BoBlAIL FLUSH.

The bobtailed flush story that is said to have resulted in the blackballing of Adjutant General Corbin by the Metro politan club in Washington is thus told:
 "One night in a game at the home of the late General Schenck. in which several prominent men were engaged. General Corbin raked in a pot with the assertion, I'll take it: l have a flush. at the same time throwing his hand, face downward on the table. Some curious player turned the hand up, and it was shown to be bobtailed flush four hearts and a diamond"
 Now comes a gentleman who sat at the table when the alleged incident oc- cured and says it's a lie. that Adju- tant General Corbin plays a square game and that his great luck in raking In chips has made him the victim of players who are not so lucky as the adjutant general is. We give the story and the denial for what they are worth. in the interest of purity and up- rightness in the public service. for the light it all throws on club ethics and the adjutant generals favorite game Boston Herald.

weeds. and . great precaution against them is to keep things all around the fields well cleaned up and burned oyer in winter. It is hardly possible that any spray will destroy them.
 Yours very truly.
 T1EO. D. A. CCCKRELL. Consulting Entomologist, Arizona Ex-
 pertinent station.
 In discussing the subject one of our prominent farmers said:
 "The bugs that are now infesting ou- valley are undoubtedly called Green Shield bugs. They breed in the mount aims and foothills and were no doubt blown into our fields by the high winds of the past two or three weeks. Tho bugs seem to be all full grown and in some of the fields near town five to six of them can be found on a single head of grain.
 Barley is too far advanced to be in- jured much. Wheat. especially late seeding, will be seriously injured. Having the ground well irrigated win assist in keeping the sap and juices in the stalk from drying up, and will also destroy many of the bugs.
 Where there is only small area covered by the pests spraying with coal oil will quickly eXterminate them. Early in the morning they will be found in clusters on the ground near the roots of the grain where they can be easily sprayed with oil. One can drive them from the grain by brisk brushing.
 From a close examination ! cannot find that they are breeding about the fields, but seem to have come from q distance"
 The Bulletin is also in receipt of q letter from Director R. H. Forbes of the agricultural experiment station at Tucson, urging that the. advice of Pro- lessor Cockrell be compiled with as far as possible. That by all means wheat should be cut for hay in order that the farmer may derive, some bene- fit from his labor.

BLOWN TO FRAGMENTS
Two Men Killed in P. & E. Tunnel
 Beyond Florence.

Railroad Camp No. at the Buttes, about fifteen bmiles east of Florence, where the P. & E. company is driving it's tunnel, was the scene of a prema turc explosion of giant powder last Monday afternoon, which resulted in the death of two men, says the Arizona Blade. p. s. Bagwell, foreman of the roCk gang, recently from Poland. Va vapai county, and Miguel Para, Mex ican, were the victims.
 A round of holes had been drilled and the men proceeded to load them. using a steel bar for a tamping rod The supposition is that the steel com ing in contact with the rock, which is O: a flinty nature. produced a spark that ignited the powder. The men were literally blown to fragments, and the remains of the two SO mixed that no attempt, was made to separate them. A number of men working in the immedi- ate vicinity. where the explosion hap pcned. were, a few minutes previously. sent to some other point on the works. thus averting what otherwise would have been a much greater loss of life.
 Coroner Devinne went to the scene ot the accident and held an inquest. The verdict of the jury was that the men came to their death through careless ness.

 The graduating class consists of twelve boys and girls. Many friends of the school attended. The opening pray CT was by Rev. H. Tolle of Mesa. fol- lowed by hymn by the school. A solo, i"Not the Half Has Even Been Told . was beautifully rendered by Miss Smith. A solo, Fear Ye Not. O Israel, '' was sung by Miss Katharine Valen- zuela, who showed great musical talent developed by proper training. The hynn, How Firm Foundation" was sung by the school, the audience join ing. There was prayer by the Rev. L.. McA:ee and in closing the Lords pray CT by the school The Lowering of the Flag" while the band played The Star Spangled Banner" was a pretty sight.
 This evening at o'clock will occur the oratorical contest between the juniors, the efforts of the various con- testants alternating with the numbers Of an interesting musical programme. The public is invited to all the features of the commencement week, some of which will be of unusual interest.

SOM ETHING TO LEARN OF WASH
 INGTON.

Policemen at Washington are busy these days handing little cards to vari- ous visitors and other people. The per sons who get the cards are such as hav2 been seen to spit on sidewalks or in railway stations or public buildings. After a few days there will be arrests Instead of cards. Fines of g to S5 will follow the arrests. Tobacco chewing expectorators will get the limit. Confl- dence is expressed by the police that the splitting habit will rot survive thu month at the national! capital.
 Nothing succeeds like meaning busi- ness Since New York has sent a higher up" policeman to London to learn how to handle the street traffic. why not send one to Washington t0 learn how to make an anti-spitting or dinance mean what it says?

An oddly carved tombstone marks the resting place, in Ax's burylng ground, Germantown, Pa, of the re- mains of an old resident of that suburb It bears the following inscription: Tn memory of Adam Shisler, who departed this life Dec. 22d 1777, aged 969 years. Every one in Germantown, however, believes that Master Shisler was not a Methuselah. and is confident that there must have been some mistake. And so there was. The explanation IS that the stonecutter marked the mans age 96. instead of 69. by an accident that might happen to any absent mind ed person, To correct this error the "9'' was filled with cement and another figure was cut after the '6." Time and frost have loosened the cement, and now the once hidden ''9' appears as distinctly as the other numerals.

CURE FOR BLEMIsHEs
Moles Are Among Them If They Do
 Indicate Luck.

Moles may be considered to bring good luck, but they are not always re- garded as marks of beauty For all tnaI they are best left alone unless they show an inclination to grow, in which case they require surgical aid
 In the earliest stage Of growth. the application of point of lunar caustlc to the center of a mole will often cause it to disappear, or painting the surface with a solution of lunar caustic, or or iodine, is often effective.
 Lunar Caustic must be used carefully and iodine discolors the skin tempo rarily. For this reason it is best to apply it at night. Use a tiny camel's hair brush, when applying iodine. and wash the brush clean and dry it ready for use again. If the iodine is left in the brush it not only ruins it after a short time. but the effectiveness of the treatment is lessened by repeated use Of a brush with the dried iodine.
 Moles are also often successfully treated by being repeatedly injected with weak aqueous solutions of iodine, ammonia or nitric acid. This is a dan gerous experiment, however, unless taken under . doctors orders.
 TOT moles which more closely re- ~"mb ble freckles, use:
 Muriate ammonia a........1 dram
 --.ute murlauc acid. ......1 dram Tincture of benzoin. drams Rose water ....................1 cZ OlyceIlne .-......-...........1 oz

 Another recipe calls for:

 Also bathe the eyes frequently with

PLATO AND FRIENDSHIP.
The So-Called Platonic Variety Neve-
 Eentered His Head.

The name "Platonic" is not very ac- curateIy used when it is employed 10 discuss the friendship of a man and a woman into which there enters no trace of amatory sentiment. Plato, in his various treatises, especially the "Timaeus" and the Symposium. speaks in deed of a love which is free from sensuousness-being the love oi scul for soul; but Plato, whose spirit was tinged with asceticism, was not treating of woman at all. and in general what he says upon this theme refers wholly to the affection of man for man, of the binding force of high character and honor
 He goes so far as to say that the true lover is to be compared with the true philosopher, rising from the contempla- tion of the many who are beautiful to the contemplation and love of the beau ty that is abstract and absolute. In fact. when he discusses beauty" n. uses the word almost as the equivalent of goodness is, in an ethical rather than in a physical sense. There fore. "Platonic friendship" in it's mod ern conventional meaning, is something which never Sntered Plato's mind CosmoDolitan

CARIBOU BROWN DEAD.
End of the Career of the Worlds Old.
 est Faro Dealer.

B. F. Butler received a telephone message from Tucson late last night announcing the death of Henry F. Brown.
 The dead man, who was known all over the coast as Caribou" Brown, had a remarkable career in many ways, lived to a great age and was known as the oldest professional faro dealer in the world. He belonged to the famous family of Browns of Mount Brown, Limerick. Ireland, and early in life entered the English navy, being adj vanced tC the rank of captain. He ouarreled with a superior officer. chal- lenged him to fight a duel. and was dismissed from the service. He claim cd to have been born in ISIS. the year of Queen Victoria's birth. but some 1f his Phoenix friends say he was much older than that, some claiming he was over a hundred.
 Alter he was dismissed from the British navy he went to California and from there to the Caribou country in British Columbia, where he earned the sobriquet that stuck to him till death. He came to Arizona about 1875 or 1876 living first in Prescott. Since then he has lived all over Arizona making oc- casional trips to the coast. His activi- ty in Arizona has been almost entirely confined to operations over the green cloth and he lad a host of friends not only among those of similar vocation but among the pioneers all over the coast. For sometime past he has been unable to leave his room and the end was not unexpected.

There are al- ready department stores in our cities, one such in Chicago, owned by out side capital. More than one wholesale business is successful on the joint-stock basis.

 Kept His Own Calm Poise.
 In nothing was his soundness of na ture, his health of mind. more evident than in the delicacy with which he protected himself from the intimacy of some who were eager to gain some personal possession of his thought. and the gentle persistence with which he held unbalanced people at a distance and kept himself clear of all rash at tempts to bring in the millenium pre- maturely.
 Hawthorne has given us character istic report of the strange folk 10 be met in Concord in the days of its new ness" It was necessary to go but a little way beyond my threshold before meeting with stranger mortal shapes of men than might have been encountered elsewhere in q circle of a thousand miles These hobgoblns of flesh and blood were attracted thither by the widespreading inhue1ice of q great orig inal thinker. who had his earthly abode at the opposite extremity of our vil- lage. His mind acted upon other minds of a certain constitution with wonder full magnetism, and drew many men up- on long pilgrimages to speak with him face to face. Young visionaries, to whom just SO much insight had been imparted as to make life labyrinth around them, came to seek the clue that should guide them out Of their self-in- volved bewilderment. Gray haired theorisers whose systems. at first air, had finally imprisoned them in an iron frame work, travelled painfully to his door. not to ask deliverance, but to in- vite the free spirit into their own thral- dom"
 No one will ever know the annoy ances, perplexities, and dangers of Elm erson's position; what everyone does know is that he never fell victim to the countless illusions. delusions and unbalanced dreams in which reproach- ful and perhaps impertinent followers, who misread his leading. endeayored to involve him. The foremost idealist of the New World, he rendered incalcula- bic service to the cause he had at heart by holding it clean and clear above the touch of fanaticism, impracticable ex- pertinent and the bitterness of the ego tistical reformer. If he had committed the fortunes of Idealism to disastrous venture, the loss to the youth of Ameri- ca would have been irreparable.-Out- look.
