TEMPE
DATES DOING WELL.
A Pumping Plant May be Put in at the
Orchard This summer.

]. E. Price. superintendent OF the
government date orchard south Of town
says that the prospect for a large crop
of dates this year is exceptionally good.
Last year at this time there were but
% blooms while this year at the pres
ent time there are about $50. This
large gain over last years record is 40
counted for by the fact that the trees
have received better attention tbs
spring. The land has been we'll cul-
tivated and the water has been put Ia
the very best advantage.
1t may be necessary. however, If the
dry weather continues to put in n
pumping plant al the ranch. II has
been decided by Prof. Forbes and
others that all that is required to fully
mature the dates is plenty of wate-.
AS was mentioned some time ago II
was thought best to remove some OF
the trees to other places in search OF
climate in which, they would mature
earlier. Since then they have come to
the conclusion that with a sufficient
supply of water any variety of dates
can be fully matured in the Salt River
valley.

TAKING DESPERATE CHANCES.

1t is true that many contract colds
and recover from them without taking
any precaution or treatment. and a
knowledge of this fact leads others TO
take their chances instead of giving
their colds the needed attention. It
should be borne in mind that every
cold weakens the lungs. lowers the vi
tally. makes the system less able to
Withstand each succeeding cold and
paves the way for more serious dis
eases. Can you AFFORD to take such
desperate chances when Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, famous for its cures Of
colds, can be had for a trine? For

HEALTH FADs on THE BRAIN.

To get all sortsof health fads on tho
brain is a disease in itself. 1t is Il
very prevalent disease, too. With d
few foolish rules to observe. a whole
lot of hygienic quirks to adjust TO and
n schedule of superstitious sanitary
notions diligently followed by day AMI
dreamed of by night, is a malady which
begins 81 3 mental arrangement and
ends in a complete physical fizzle. No
room left for a spontaneous life. m
place for free, joyous liberty. Not u
minutes space for rollicking disregard.
Everything fixed, every minute dis
posed of, introspections without num-
Der. Forebodings. misgiv;ngs., hover
ing vaguely about the mind. like fiOcks
of carrion crows. Such a life is not
worth living. One might a thousand
times better go back to the reckless
regime OF a rough rider.

to the result of feverish condition of

the dandruff and for so many bald

Wondrous Ways Of Ants.

Lieut. Col. Sykes saw at Poonan
ants carrying out grain to dry in the
sun. DR.. Lincecum, in Texas, found
ants who planted a certain sesd-bear'
ing grass, reaped it, and carried the
grain into their cells, where they
stripped it of chaf and packed it
away. The paper relating this was
read by Darwin before The Linn@an
Society. Another observer has told
US Of ants that grow mushrooms.
The foraging ants of Brazil and
Western Equatorial Africa are terri
bic creatures. Elephants and gorillas
fly before them; the python takes care
not to indulge in 4 meal till he has
satisfied himself that there are none
of them about. They have "leis-
ured class, much larger creatured,
who accompany their march, "like
subaltern officers in a marching regi-
ment;" they are not lighters, how
ever. One curious conjecture as to
their function has been made. They
are indigestible, and birds spare the
whole army lest they should get hold
of one Of these tough morsels. This,
it must be allowed, looks a little too
strange.
Slaves the ants certainly have, but
they do not make slave raids; the
laIvg of the inferior race are carried
off and Matched out. The browning
marvel, however, is that the British
slave-owning ant, and he acne, makes
his slaves fight for him.
