Even those who most lament ''the
good old times" are bound to admit
that as regards sanitary science, and
especially all that concerns surgery and
the ambulance service generally, an
amazing change for: the better has
taken place even during the last 30
years. ~. ="
Thanks in q measure to the admira

societies. both the japanese and Rus

will have the highly trained aid Of a
large contingent of American nurses
and doctors; while Admiral Sir S. Cy-
prian Bridges has offered the use of
the British naval hospital at Yoko-

majesty, Harru Ko, long before there
was any thought of war, used to visit
regularly the Women and Children's
hospital in Toxic, and from time to
time the other houses of healing.
Japanese doctors are noted for their
skill in surgery, and many of those
who are now at the front studied in
the great American medical schools. as

curious and rather deplorable fact that
of the two great French Red Cross So
cieties, both admirably equipped with
every kind of ambulance requisite, only
one has consented to distribute its ia

and the Japs; the other will place it.

PARENTAL CARE OF A MOTHER
FOX FOR HER CUBS.

Readers Of my stories may remem.
Der the story Of 1.-THE Sprite," the
little red fox which q year ago l took
from its home in a burrow at Tops
field, Mass, and those who attended
some of my lectures during the past
winter will scarcely have forgotten
the brighteyed, sharpnosed. bushy-
tailed little rascal which appeared
with me on the platform, and whose
silky lead they patted at the close of
the evening 1t may also be remem-
bered that, after his mate was killed
by the dogs in the fall, another mate
was bought for him, and that both
foxes were housed in large wire cage
in the garden.
Before the cold weather came, I had
erected, on the north and east sides
of the cage, high wind-breaks, which
sheltered the foxes from the bitterest
of the storms. In the lee of these. a
wooden pen was placed, with two
compartments, one near the ground
and the other above it. The den they
used chiefly as playhouse. After
chasing one another round the cage,
seemingly in game of tag, one of
them would dart into the den, as
though that were home" and the
other would seldom pursue him into
the upper compartment, and, coming
to the door, would paw her mate play
fully as he passed underneath. At
other times they would wrestle to-
gether in fun, and the one which was
thrown down would be gently chewed,
until it changed the subject by leap
ing to his feet. and reversed the order
of things. In short, they lived hap
py, care-free lives, until a few days
ago, when family cares began to &C.

came very restless, jumping in and

times she would run up to 1.-THE

in front of him, just as some dogs
will do when they meet any one they
are pleased to see, or when they wish
to be petted. When any of us went
near, she dashed around the cage.

tail, and expressing great delight. At
times the vixen would leap into the
upper compartment of the den, and
scratch in the bedding of leaves. Once.
while she was there, piece of cloth
was held out to her She took it in
her mouth and drew it in and then
smoothed it out by poking and patting
it with her nose to take out the Jumps
Then she covered the cloth over with
the leaves which were In the box, but
for some reason the arrangement did
not suit her, and she took the cloth
in her mouth and flung out of the

At half-past six the next morning.
when we went out to see her, she
jumped out of the den, yawning and
stretching as usual, but Without recog-
~nizing US in the usual way. Then she
growled, dashed into the upper COM
partment of the cen, and soon reap
peared with a newly-born cub in her
mouth. She dropped it on the ground
pushed it with her nose, and then
picked it up again, and in great agi-
tation carried it to different parts of
the cage, as though looking for a safe
place to deposit it. When we went
away, she carried it back into the den.
where she eventually discovered the
whole family of five baby foxes. And
since then, whenever disturbed, she
would pick up one of the little ones
and carry it to new place. Finally,
she made hollow in the leaves at one
corner Of the cage, and put all the
babies into 1t. spread an awning over

den to have a look at the children,

him away. But he seemed to take it
all in good part. and when another
chance offered tried it again. Once,
when one of the cubs had been left on
the ground and the vixen had gone for
another one, "The Sprite'' saw his op-
portunity and made the most of it. He
walked up to the baby. shifted it,
pushed it gently with his nose, all the
while wagging his tail, and then he
began to- leap playfully over it, each
time landing close to it, but never up
on it. How long he would have amused
himself in this way we shall never

Prescott Is most fortunate in pos sessing excellent school buildings and corps of capable teachers. new grammar school was recently erected at a cost of $60.000. It is a two-story brick structure. occupying an imposing position on Gurley street and is one of the finest school buildings in the west. The old capitol building, which for many years gave shelter to the law makers of the territory. is now being used as high school. It was recently remodelled at a cost of 5000. An ad dition was erected at the rear of the building and the interior rearranged so as to leave five class rooms on the first floor. The second story is a large assembly hall 3sx6O feet in dimensions, with a well equipped stage. fitted with scenery and other necessary comple ments. There is also St. Josephs school and at the present time a Sis ters academy is being erected at a cost of s5O,O0O.
 All leading church denominations have their houses for worship. The Catholics have a handsome building, Congregationalists are preparing to erect a new and handsome building, and all the other churches are neat and suitable.
 Prescott has a club, the Yava 1ai club, which Is as fine as anything in the southwest. This club building cost s42. GOO and it Is handsomely furnished with stained oak. On the first floor is the dining room. grill room. library and parlors. On the second fcor is a billiard and pool hall. ladies parlor and ball room. The third story is de- voted to sleeping apartments for club members. Adjoining the main building is now being erected a bowling hall The appointments throughout are ele- gant and the service and attention shown club members by the attendants excellent. There are about 155 mem bers and the membership will include many of the most prominent men in the territory. The officers of the club are: Judge R. F. Sloan, president; F. P. Cruice, secretary; L. B. Larimer, treasurer: R. E. Fellow. manager, be- sides a directorate of eleven.
 Fraternally Prescott is well repre- scented. All the leading fFaternal or ders have lodges here, and there are several nice lodge buildings. The structure which is now being erected by the Elks will be one of the best lodge buildings in the west.

BEAUTIFUL PRESCOTT.

Much has been said of Prescott and it's business interests, and but little of its beauties, a subject in itself suffi- ciently engaging for a series of articles. Prescott is, truly. the gem city of the whole Rocky Mountain region. Its picturesque setting at once appeals to the visitor. The sur rounding hills and mountains, with their ever-changing tints in the trans lucent atmosphere which is found mo- where except in Arizona at an altitude of 5000 feet their stately pines and frowning cLffs-ever bathed in the glory of the eternal sunshine-all this goes to explain, in measure, why Prescott holds a perpetual charm for resident and visitor. One of the prom nent features among Prescott's attrac- lions is the Murphy drive'-a road way which leads out from West Pres colt and winds in and out among the trees and hills that overlook the city from the west. This beautiful drive of three miles should not be missed by anybody wishing to gain some insight into the surrounding beauties of this charming mountain town. To miss it is to miss scenery which is positively romantic, and the sylvan solitude, and the proximity of the drowning noun tains whereon the hostile Indian build ed their forts will stimulate the most jaded imagination.
 Seldom is there so much beauty and business combined. Prescott has both, it Is twice blessed and its future growth and welfare are assured. In vestments within the limits are safe ventures, life within It's shadows a pleasure, and we'll may the citizens feel proud of their city and certain of its future.

 The Prescott Electric company has had prepared plans for a s60.00O gas plant and work constructing it will be commenced within the next sixty days.
 There are many improvements which might be enumerated telling of the growth and prosperity of Prescott, but what has already been said shows that the city is indeed enjoying a great period of activity, and it is not a boom. has none of the ear marks of such a thing, but is a steady growth warrant ed by prevailing conditions.
