The manufacture and sale OF intoXi-
cnnts has long since been universally
recognized as a legitimate subject Of gov
ernmental concern. because the evils
growing out of their Use are universally
recognized The growth OF temperance
sentiment has been marvellous. but among
the most hopeful signs in this direction
is the attitude toward the drink habit
now sustained by the great corporations.

Soldiers Home.

Kansas patriotism and gratitude have
found beautiful expression in the Sol

cozy cottages, several hundred battle
SCARED veterans, upon whose heads have
fallen the SHOWS which melt not away
many of them with their wives and
children, patiently await the bugle call
across the river. The state has made
many contributions 20 their comfort and
should make many more.

At the last election an amendment to
the constitution was adopted authorizing
the governor to strike out any appropria-
ton without invali1ating the whole bill
in which e, was included. For obvious
reasons the legislature should pass what
is known as the Miscellaneous Appropria-
ton bill early I'm the session to give the
governor time to scrutinize its various
items. IL the necessity for other mlscel-
laneous appropriations develops they can
be included In a supplemental bill near
the close Of the session.
A great opportunity Is yours, gentle
men. an opportunity to initiate needed re-
forms; to set an example OF the most
rigid economy consistent with the proper
care Of the state institutions; to relieve,
as far as possible. the tax payers Of the
state; to prove that political promises
are as sacred as personal contracts, and
in every possible way to honor the peo-
pie who have honored you. Your posi-
ton is a peculiar one: OF no legislature
have the people exacted more than they
expect OF you. and assume that you Will
not disappoint them. Wishing you a
pleasant and profitable session, l prom
Use you cordial cooperation.

Mining rrsde sIoeked by Arrsst.

Inc following, Jaken rom the New York Herald of Febr uary 18th, is of interest in Arizona, as affect- ing Arizona mining property. It is of further interest from the fact that there is evidence in the hands of THE OASIS that others in the east have been working a similar scheme to swindle with properties in Santa Cruz county, in which the consplr- ators had no right, claim or owner ship, as pretended basis for their operations. As yet the details of the story hinted at herein are not ripe for publication; but when they are, the public will be apprised;
 Caught just as he was about to close deal whereby wealthy Penn svlvanians were to be swindled out of $5OO00 in bogus mining trans action, the police allege, Henry Silverberg international swindler, who gained his greatest notoriety while posing as J. Coleman Dray- ton, was a prisoner last night at Police headquarters.
 He was taken into custody yes- terday afternoon at Seventieth street and Broadway by Detective Sergeants McCafferty and Me Cauley. He is held now only on 'suspicion,' because of his record. The assertion that he has been en- deavorfng to induce Pennsylvanian millionaires to buy an Arizonan gold mine is founded on private advices received by Captain O'Brien. Silverberg, faultlessly dressed. lost none of the famous composure that has stood by him in his many years of swindling, when the detectives approached him.
 Hello, Silverberg,' said Me- Cauley, laying his hand familiarly on Silverberg's arm, Haven't seen you for a long time.
 "'Pardon me, sir, came the naughty response. I fear you have made mistake. My name is Young-J. c. Young. I-'
 "All right was the cheerful comment. Come on down town anyhow
 Immediately afterward, the de- tectives declare, the mans mask fell. We'll, I'm Silverberg, all right he said, but l don't know what you want me for, I've been straight for nine years
 "The exact nature of the swindle was not divulged by Captain O'Brien. He said, however, that Monday would have seen every thing consummated aud the man in flight. However, he consented to let the reporters see two tele- grams and a newspaper clipping found in the prisoners pocket
 All these mentioned a J C. Young. Whether it was Silverberg posing as that individual ol whether he had found the cor respondence of J. 0. Young is mol known.
 "The newspaper clipping is a re port of the arrival of the director; of the Arizona Mining Company at some Pennsylvanian city in the private car Etruria, and of the banquet which followed immedi- ately afterward.
 "A list of some of the guests pres ent contained the names ofJ. Frank Pardee, member of one oi the wealthiest of anthracite mining families; J. H. Linderman, R. P Brodhead, John H. Davis, all oi them wealthy; H. c. Prick. W. P

A Sensible Marriage.

Mr.. Henry Page and Miss Annie Grouse
were married last Thursday. 1t was a
marriage restful and unique. There was
nothing of the same-old-thingness about
it. The bride was not dressed in hand
some going-away gown and did not carry
alovely boquet of maiden hair ferns. The
color scheme was not pink and white,
neither was Mendelssohn's rendered by
the accomplished Miss Anybody at all. 1t
was all primitive, simple sincerity. Good
old Father Wyatte performed the cere'
mony. He had known them all their lives.
BE just talked to them sensibly, soothing
ly, as to petted child. They had never
been married before and were bashful and
timid. Henry, do you take Annies Annie,
do you take Henry? to live together and
love one another so long as ye both shall
live, world without end, Amen. Two
sensible people were married at sensible
age and everybody is glad.-statesville

Pure Drugs.

We find in the New Bedford Standard
the following:

undertaken to test the druggists of Chica-

called for, while but 80 were pure,
which would seem to indicate that it IS
necessary not only to have skilful drug
gist, but also that he be an honest man.

years ago we were carrying prescriptions

tracted from our sixty-one days address

The Reason That Some Of 1t II Blue

Smoke consists Of minute particles
of solid or liquid matter suspended IN
the air, and it's color depends partly
upon the chemical constitution OF such
particles, but also largely upon their
size. Exact experiment has shown
that, as the size Of minute particles
suspended In air is gradually increased,
they give rise to colors varying from
sky blue down through the whole
range Of the spectral scale. This Is the
cause of sunset and sunrise colors IN
the sky. It's effects can also be traced
in the case Of the two kinds OF tobacco
smoke, modified by the murky tints OF
the carbonaceous products. The smoke
given of from the heated surface OF
the burning tobacco in the bowl OF the
pipe consists Of matter all Of which
has been highly heated and very fully

mainly Of exceedingly small solid par

smallness a btuish color. On the Other

Sod-Bound Trees.

Sod bound trees are not very COM
mon, but they are to be met with.
When tree has made a good growth
and has spread out its top to cover it's
feet there is little danger of it's be-
coming sod bound, for the branches OF
the tree catch most of the sunshine
and the grass growth below is meager.
The sod bound condition comes when
the tree is either very young or so old
that the leaves are thin and few. The
young tree that is set in grass ground
and has never obtained very good
hold of the ground is the one most
likely to become sod bound, which
means that the roots of the grass have
taken POSSESSION of the soil and are
taking most of the plant food and
moisture. Such tree can be relieved
only by digging out the grass and Civ
ing its roots the entire use of the
ground.-Farmers' Review.

THE ORCHARD.

The wise orchardist will look care

the quick use of torch is an excellent
remedy.
Cultivate the orchard every ten days.
this month; thus conserving the mois-

during dry time is almost as good as
irrigation.
Again we say: Be sure to muzzle the
horses-yes, and the whifletrees, too
when narrowing the orchard. Barked
trees are as disagreeable on the farm
as barking dogs.
The time to cut out blighted pear
wood is to-day, to-morrow-any time

ease, and, when found, be sure to cut

There is a temptation to make sauce
of the early apples before they are

it. Better wait a few days longer, than
to run the risk of an attack of bowel
trouble.
The pigs get hungry for something

pies which drop off are just the thing
for them; but begin carefully. Not too
many at time: Pigs are quite likely

COOL THE FRUIT.
Successful Shipment of Fruit De-
mands That It Should Be Freed
from Latent Heat.

Fruit should not be picked on a
warm day and put Immediately into
cold storage or into cars for shipment.
1t should be put into some place where
it will have a chance to cool OF and
permit the latent heat to work out,
says the Farmers Review. Putting
fruit into close cars where no refriger-
alton is provided is a fruitful source
of trouble in the shipping of fruit. The
heat in the fruit causes rapid spelling,
especially with fruit that is of short
keeping quality, like some Of the ap-
pies that ripen in. the summer. If the
nights are cool, fruit can be cooled OFF
by simply leaving it over night ex-
posed to the air, but not to the dew.
In other cases cellars are found deep
enough to have temperature of under
so degrees. These can be used in such
cases. In some parts of the territory
over which this paper circulates stor-
age pits have been dug into the side
hills and these may be used as storage
places.

THE PACKING SHED.
It Should Be Kept Free from Rubbish
of All Kinds During the
Fruit Season.

Did the thought ever occur to you
that you probably allowed too much
filth to accumulate about your pack
ing-shed? People who eat fruit are
just as exacting on points of cleanli-
ness as are other food-eaters No one
would think of offering for sale piece
Of meat with unWholesome looking
stains on it such as spots of decay.
mildew. red spotches. etc. Neither
should man with a crate Of peache
bearing stains on the wood ask GUS
toner to purchase. 1t is very wrong,
declares the Midland Farmer, to offer
unwhOlesOme fruit for sale, and all
unclean fruit is upwholesome Germs
of decay are germs of disease, and peO-
pie are beginning to realize that it is
not safe to eat that kind of fruit.
Therefore never allow waste fruit to be
heaped about near your packing-shed:
have it carted away some distance.
Piles of decaying fruit draw flies, in
sects and other EMBELLISHMENTS.

Sheep in the Orchard.

II the trees are protected by some
means, sheep are as useful for picking
up fallen fruit as pigs are, perhaps
more so. They are On hand when an
apple falls, while the hogs may be
asleep in the shade. The apple ought
to be devoured promptly before the
worm has had time to crawl out. It is
nearly ready to do. so before the apple
falls, and does not lost much time af-
terwards. This will suggest the i'm
portance of prompt action if the cod
ding moth is to be kept down. Give
the animals chance at the little fruit
that falls early, and so dispose of the
greater part of the insect crop. BY
these means the number of the moths
can be greatly reduced, but the fight
must be kept up every year.-Ohio
Farmer.
