BEDS OF MANY NATIONS.
Short German Beds, Indian Hammoctss
 Negro Sleeping Places.

Considering that we all spend on an average one-third of OUT whole lives in bed. it is not wonderful. that a good deal of care, expense and trouble is ex- pended on our sleeping places. Tn Eng land the unhealthful feather bed is be ing driven out by the more healthful mattress, which .llso rules in America French beds are noted for their hard ness and German beds are SO ridicu- lOusly short that foreign visitors are Cf- ten much too big for them. Many Nor wegian beds are made to pull out from recesses. The hammock rules in Cent ral and South America The Indians of Guiana pIait most beautiful hammCcks out of grass, which they dye prettily. Japanese lie upon mating laid out on the floor, with a stiff, uncomfortable wooden head rest. The Chinese use low bcdsteads, often elahOrate!y carved. But their only mattresses and cove ings are made of mating. Tn winter they put on heavy clothes wadded with cot ton. in which they sleep. Of all peo- the easiest to suit in the way of sleep ing quarters are negroes. An African negro like wild animal, can curl ur anywhere.

SEAATE'S SNUFF BOXES.
Still Kept Filled, Though no Snuff
 takers Are Left.

While the art and practice of snuff taking are obsolete in the United States senate. the tradition is still cherished and the official snuffboxes are main tained and kept carefully filled with fresh material for producing sneezes.
 These boxes are two in number. little lacquer affairs about four inches long, two and one-half inches wide ard an inch deep, and are fastened by screws to the top of the projecting ledge. one on each side of the vice presidents Ga- is.
 The snuff is purchased by the ser geant-at-arms of the senate in four eight-nOund jars, at a cost of f-eventy- five cents per pound. It takes an av- craze Of about five pounds a year to :eplenish the boxes twice a week during the sessions. The work of refilling the boxes was for years one of the duties tremendously performed by the late Captain Rassett. the venerable assist ant doorkeeper of. the senate. and an inveterate user Of the powdered weed. But since .1is death. five years ago. the task has fallen to the lot of ope of the pages, who. naturally does not bestow upon it the loving care of his aged pre- decessor.
 Captain Bassett had. when he died. completed nearly sixty years of con tinuous service in the senate and was almost the sole relic of the days when the use of snuff was general in that body. For many years before his death his dignified, almost ceremonious, man. ner of indulging in the habit excited the wonder and awe of the modern page.
 He was very proud Of the gold snuff box presented to him by the senators upon the fortieth anniversary of his entry into their service, and he kept it filled with a choice brand of powder He carried it in a tail pocket of the frocll coat. in which he always appear ed. and the force of his habit of reach ing for it oIce caused a laugh ct his eXpense.-New York Sun.

SPANGLES STILL POPULAR.
Color Contrasts Seen in Blue, Pink,
 Black and Brown.

Spangles have lost none of their pop ulaTity, but this year they seem to have surpassed even their former brillianCy. The latest caprice Of Dame Fashion
 calls for many uses of spangles, and not the least fascinating of these is to have the outer robe sDangled in some set and conventional design, the spangles
 appearing in well defined groups The color contrasts are strong-iridiscent pear shaped and tear drop spangles of steel blue, petpnia pink brown or black being used on white net, and this in
 turn, draped over a chiffon, which is thickly covered with tiny gilt paillettes,
 the foundation silk being of the same color as the spa nSles of the outer robe. or else in plain white. Of course, the clever dressrn. ,ker can have color schemes galore and original with these
 colored paillette effects and an unusu- ally smart one is brown pailletted net. mounted with gilt spangled brown chif- ion and worn over a peau de cygne foundation of tangerine, a soft shade of burnt orange, the two thicknesses of fiimy brown material yelling the rather garish tint of the silk. lattice of in terwoven strands of a dull blue velvet ribbon forms the corsa ge yoke and is introduced in the laceappliques on tte skirt, and the blending of what m mght

A RELIABLE SPORTING ANNUAL

One of the most complete and re- liable books of the year is the Police Gazette Sporting Annual" for 1904, which is a veritable mine of informa- tion, so far as sporting matters are concerned. It contains within small space, all the important boxing records, as well as the records of the athletic world, and as a pocket encyclopedia is in valuable. It is illustrated with fine halftone champions of the ring, the turf and the field, while the civer is particularly handsome one, printed in four colors. The price is only ten cents.

IN A DEEP HOLE
Phoenix High School Dis
 triCt Finds Itself
There Is Now Less Than One ThouS- and Dollars to Pay Expenses for the Rest of the Year.

The Phoenix high school seems to be in a sort of a hole and a somewhat serious one. There is only about $500 available for the payment of the salar- ies for the rest of the year which is yet long way off. There is abundant money in Naricopa county for the support of all it's schools. for there is nowhere in, the United States a region in which there is greater liberality for educational purposes. But a mistake, or rather a miscalculation has been made.
 At the beginning Superintendent Fulton furnished an estimate in which it appeared that something more than $19.0OO would be required. Some of the items of the estimate were sealed down .by the supervisors so that the amount was made ao little more than $10.0O0. That was regarded as a lib- eral provision but something was done on behalf of the high school that had not been expected. 4 block lying i'm mediately north of tie high school building was bought at, a cost of S3,60O.
 The purchase was undoubtedly nec- essary for the extension of the build ing for the high school is growing in popularity and attendance.
 But the DuGchase price must come out of the money which has been set aside for the high school and that leaves only about $500 for the pay ment of the salaries of teachers for the rest of the year.
 When this fact becomes known there is almost certain to be a howl but there is no body in the present status with power to immediately quiet it.
 In consequence of this embarrassing situation the qualified voters of the Union High School district are called into what may be called an extra ordinary session at the High school building next Monday night at half past seven. The object of this meeting is to provide for an issue of bonds. That will no doubt be done for there is no other way out of the hole.

tube lighting. The system is based on the projection of a converted current of electricity through a length of glass tubing which has been exhausted. The current in flowing through the ultra gaseous matter in the tube, gives off a brilliant phosphorescent light all along its path This light is hardly distin- guishable from daylight in color and quality; it is said to be at least twenty five per cent cheaper than inoandes- cent light: it has no disagreeable or injurious effect on the eyes; and it is perfectly safe.-Harper Weekly.
