MAGNIFICENT MENAGERlE WITH
 THE GREAT FLOTO SHOWS.

One of the pleasantest and most profitable hours that can be spent any where may be found in the enormous menagerie department of these vast shows. There is not a great deal of opportunity offered elsewhere for practical study of animal life. The re- lations of the wild animals of the world to mankind are but little understood. The marvels of creation are nowhere greater than in the strange and diversi- fled forms of animate existence, as exemplified in wild and untamed and untamable beasts. Scarcely any idea of the great cardinal principle of pro- gress in animal life evolution may oe had without a knowledge of wild 2ni- mals. The wise men of the world know this fact, and in order to make such knowledge available, as well as to en- certain and amuse, have established in the larger cities of the world geological gardens. But they are enormously ex- pensive institutions and only the wealthiest communities can afford them.
 It is because these great shows make one of the many features of their eX- hibitions a menagerie that is complete in every particular that they are of in calculable practical benefit to any and every community they visit. Years of study of zoology in books is not so ef- fective as an hour spent in this me nagerie. And when during this hour one may be amused by the antics of the monkeys, marvel at the strange creatures of odd shape and savage dis position, and at the same time be en- tertained by the music of a magnifi- cent military band, an hour of diver sion and study is supplied that can be had nowhere else.
 It is for this reason that the doors

The common council of Mesa met in regular session Tuesday night and af- ter disposing of the unfinished business turned the keys of the city over to the new council, which at once organized and elected J. L. Waring mayor of Me sa.

letter Of congratulations to the manu-
facturers of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy as follows: Sixteen years
ago when our first child was baby
he was subject to croupy spells and
we would be very uneasy about him.
We began using Chamberlain Cough
Remedy in 1887, and finding it such n
reliable remedy for colds and Group,
we have never been without 1t in the
house since that time. We have five
children and have given it to all of
them with good results. One good
feature of this remedy is that it is
not djsagreeable to take and our
babies really like it. Another is that
it lie not dangerous, and there is no
risk from giving an overdose. l con-

COUNTRY LIFE.

The great papers OF tne COUNTY, az"
many of the smaller ones. are having
much TO say about making life easier
for the poorer sections of the large
citias. Ard the movement is well
worthy of commendation. But ap-
parently they have overlooked the
farmer and his wife and sons and
daughters entirely.
And yet thu farmer and those de-
pendent upon him are entitled to just
as much consideration as his city
cousins.
The lack OF opportunities for men
tai advancement and physical enjoy
ment is the bane of the present day
farmers existence, and it is becoming
a seriCus problen AS to what will be-
come OF the farms in a few years If
the present exodus continues.
In an address he. recently delivered.

of the method to keep the bright
youth of the country on the farm Is
to furnish good roads. The extension

direction of anne eliorating country life
and making it more attractive to

sion of good road system will do
more than all other things COM

According to this view, which
seems sound, bad roads do more than
anything else to promote ignorance,
isolation. discouragenent and disgust
among country people. Good roads

ipgs possible during the winter
months. In the absence of good
roads, the farm family has to hiber-
nate three or four months in the year,
NJ far as social life is concerned.
With good roads, the same months
could readily be made the most pleas
ant and intellectually the most profit
able Of the year.
The arguments in favor of good
roads are >snany. The commercial
aspect has naturally been the one to
which the largest attention has been
paid, because after all the bread and
butter question absorbs the largest
share of the time of the average
human being. There are many
others. Not the least important Of
them is that to which Mr.. Austin
directs attention, the added attractions
which country life will have when
communication ia so easy az it will be
when fine roads are intersecting every

Leap Year PrOpOaals.

The origin OF the peculiar womans
right Of leap year is said to date back
to the fifth century. st. Bridget, so the
story goes, was troubled because the
women under her charge insisted on
their right Of proposing to the men
Accordingly she went to ST Patrick
and begged him to settle the matter by
fixing certain seasons in which women
might take the initiative st Patrick
promised them every seventh year, but
then, pleased by the persuasive elo-
quence Of st. Bridget, he said they
should have the longest year in the
calendar and that was every fourth
year, when February had an extra day.
