 Harden's bridge across the Arizona canal is one and a half miles west of Central avenue. Now the water from any ditch that Harden made would go down the Arizona canal to the break three miles westward, and the water stopping into the laterals running south from that break in the Arizona canal. would all drift tc the southwest. I don't see how a gallon of it can get to the capitol grounds.
 Glendale is nine miles west out on Grand avenue. Take a map of Mari copa county, and draw on 1t the lines of a right-angled square whose hy- pothenuse at 91z miles hits the south west corner of the north half of the Glendale section; next draw line southwesterly 45 degrees. and then bi- sect that line with one drawn north westerly from the northwest corner of the capitol grounds.

chairman of the committee in the house told me how to accomplish the object. He said there were a number of the members of the expiring congress who had been defeated in their own dis tricts for the next term who wanted to go west and offer their political ser vices to the 'galoots and if they could be grouped and a satisfactory slate
 made they would have influence enough to carry the bill through congress. Consequently an oyster supper was organized to which the Tame ducks were invited and then and there the

So the slate was made and the bargain concluded; but toward the last it occurred to my ob- fuscated brain that my name did not appear on the slate and in the lan- guage of Daniel Webster I exclaimed.

Gold Air for Nervous People.

Cold air is most beneficial to ner-
vous people. The oxygen in the air
burns up the poisons which irritate
the nerves. and the person is relieved.
When one is tired. he gets rest quicker
by breathing fresh. cold air. Weari-
ness and exhaustion are due simply to
an accumulation of poisons and other
waste matters generated by work and
retained in the body. and these are
burned up by the oxygen taken in
through cold air. The lowered tenn
perature causes a condensation of the
air so that the amount of oxygen per
breath is increased.
This purifies the blood and stores up
energy in the nerve centers. The cold
air cure is the best of all tonics for
nervous folks. Strychnia and all the
rest of the so-called tonic drugs are
simply nerve-foolers. They do meal
culable harm by insidiously undermin-
ing the system.

stir. They fire on every unarmed
Armenian they can see. shouting 'hur.

on these come a crowd of their fellow
countrymen armed to the teeth. They

Hundreds of people lost their lives

mans are at the head of Baku's COM
mercial interests and these are con-
siderable. The city has a population
of 10000, having increased seven
fold in the last forty years. Baku is
railway center, great port on the
Caspian sea. and its petroleum indus
tries are among the greatest in the
world. The petroleum output was
more than 100000 tons in 1899.
Baku's history goes far back into the
eighth century and maybe beyond.

A Minister'S Story.

Being the son of a clergyman. l
have some remembrances of minister
al stories told in my youth. Among
them was one of divine who
preached in the city OF Portsmouth.
and who one summer, with his family,
went TO little village on the coast
of Maine to spend his vacation.
Fsnding there an unused. dilapida.-
ed church, he thought perhaps he
cou.d do some good by holding serv-
ices therein. He obtained consent.
and his meetings were fully attended.
In the fall the little vessel came for
him and his family. and just as they
were leaving he saw a delegation
coming hastily over the hill and beck
oning to him. Thinking perhaps they
had some little testimonial for him
shore. when they handed him a bill
for the use of the church. He took
the bill. paid it. and on reaching
home framed it and hung it in his
study.-Boston Herald.
