Medicine ana ceremonial.

The physicians Of ne9iaeyal Eng
land, who were for the most part
Ionks, friars or Jews, possessed a
large assortment OF remedies, some of
them borrowed from the Byzantine
physicians, others from the traditional
practice of the people. Christian ply
sicians, however, called religion to their
aid. None of their remedies was adj
ministered without ceremonial While
the medicine was being compounded
the patient would say twelve times
over one of the psalms, beginning
"Miserere mel, Deus" then several
paternosters, ''then drink the dose and
wrap myself up warm or he would
sing the psalm, "Salvum Me Fac,
Deus" then drink the draft out of a
church bell, the priest finishing the
cure with prayer.
DR.. Creighton remarks that, as the
maladies of the middle ages contained
an unusual element of hysteria, the
ceremonial may not have come amiss
as an aid to the treatment Physicians
gained considerable fees by their prac-
tice, which the people appear to have
grudged them. The satirical writer's
constantly accuse them of greed, but
these charges were probably owing to
the prevalence Of the idea, not yet
extinct, that as medicine is from the
Lord God,' the leech was not entitled
to a money payment.-London Spec

Some Words.

Spider is less attractive word
than spinner" but it is really the
same. ''Spither," the earlier form of
the word, stood for splinter" mean
ing spinner--the disappearance of the
''n" before the 9Th" being compensated
for by the lengthening of the vowel,
just as tooth" really represents
''tonth." There was once in use another
word for the creature, that was ugly
enough in meaning-"a ttercop," which
appears in Wyclif's Bible 1t signi-
fies poison bunch and is still used in
the north Of England and in Antrim,
Ireland, as an uncomplimentary term
for shrewish person. From latter
cop" or from a similar use of ''cop" or
'cob," a bunch, to mean q spider,
comes "cobweb"

A Green Old Age.

"a green old age'' is phrase often
grossly abused. 1t is literal transla-
ton of Virgirs description of Charon,
the ferryman Of the neither regions.
The poet speaks Of him as jam senior,
sed cruda dec viridisque senectus'
somewhat aged, but his godship's old
age was still fresh and greem. This
we might say of a hale sexagenarian,
but to talk, as we do, of the green old
age of a nonagenarian, however bale,
is sheer nonsense.

An Arab In the Rain.

''Those who are not accustomed to
rain are frightened by it," says a
writer. II once saw an Arab rained
upon for the first time. He was alb
jectly terrified and demanded to have
his passage paid from the country
Sicily-in which the dread phenomenon
occurred. He had been conveyed from
the Sahara, / think, by a European,
whose servant he was, and he evidently
thought his master was behaving abom-
inably to him in permitting him to get
wet BY the first steamer he returned
to his native desert, abandoning excel
lent wages, and shaking the raindrops
furiously from his slippered feet"

Seaweed Sauces.

The Japanese have many curious
recipes for cooking seaweed, which,
with fern, is almost a staple article Of
diet in China, Japan and the Asiatic
archipelago. A number of species Of
seaweed are eaten. Some are soaked,
others are dried. Many of the Jap
anese and Chinese sauces are made
from seaweed Under the name Of
'asakusa-nori," one variety is put up
in neat tin boxes and largely sold in
the Tokyo markets.

The Hone of Rascals.

Our newspapers might be much bet

to the taste of the people of taste. But
their unlovely crying Of crime, disa-
greeable as it is, is an exceedingly i'm

fulness and veracious fortitude in
keeping it up lies really the biggest
part of our hope of higher standard
Of honesty in public and private life.

LUCERO IS GUILTY
The Verdict Was Of Murder in the Second Degree - The Assault Story Was not Believed.

Maximiano Lucero was yesterday found guilty by the jury of murder in the second degree for the killing of Pedro B. Salazar at the shearing camp of Ortega and Lucero north of the city on Feb. IS. of this year. Nobody who had been watching the trial would venture a prediction as to the verdict. There had been nothing in the manner of the jury during the trial to give a line on its sentiments. If the members believed the story of the assault on the daughter of Lucero by Salazar there was reason to suppose that there might be a verdict of manslaughter. The jury had listened attentively to all that the defense had to put forward, in fact seemed to give the witnesses for the defense greater attention than was ac- corded to those of the territory.
 The territory had brought out noth- ing that had not been adduced at the preliminary examination and in the course of the trial some of the witness es tol the prosecution had contradict ed each other on unimportant points and one ot them had been proved to be a periurer inasmuch as he had denied that he had served a term in the peni- teniiary when it was shown by the re- cords that he had been a convict. AL together the case of the territory did net seem to be quite so strong as it had been. Then against 1t was the story of the assault, of uncertain weight.
 The opening argument for the de- fense was made by Captain Alexander who dweIt at length upon the assault. He assailed the character of most cf the witnesses for the prosecution and regarding the fact brought out by them that Salazar was unarmed when he was Killed, Captain Alexander said that that rested on the testimony of a pirate looking witness of fI reoute who would not have hesitated to steal the dead mans revolver while he guarded the body alone and unwatched for hours.
 Judge Street for the defense made a careful review of the evidence and was succeeded by District Attorney Baker who urged the jury in the interest of law and order in the community to make an example of LucerO. Of his guilt of premeditated murder there could be no doubt He himself had admitted that the passion which he en- tertained against Salazar had cooled before the fatal meeting. Concerning the story of the outrage, Judge Baker said that 1t was a connection. Here was a girl against whom a crime had been committed on the night of Feb IA. It was of such a nature that she would at once have told her mother But she waited for thirty-six hours. The story had been timed to meet the needs of the defendant who at II o'clock the following night had just be- come a murderer and must have a de- fense. Therefore it was pretended that for the first time he had been told Of this thirty-six hour old crime.
 The instructions to the jury were
Arizona republican., 1905-04-23

very complete covering the grounds of self defense and reasonable doubt
 The case went to the jury about noon. At two o'clock word came from the jury room that further instruction was wanted. The jury on being brought in desired to know what were the var ious penalties for murder in the sec ond degree and manslaughter. The court replied that all necessary infor- nation on that subject had been gone over in the original instructions. The jury could fix no penalty except in the finding of a murder in the first degree. Then it might decide whether the de- fendant should die or suffer imprison- ment for life. Tn any other case 1t was the duty of the court to fix the penalty within the limits prescribed by law.
 It was now clear the the jury did not intend to acquit Lucero. It was equal ly clear that the jury was proceeding in compromise. At five minutes after four o'clock it was given out that a verdict had been found. By this time the defendant was in a pitiable state. He had sat in the court room all the afternoon, his daughter on one side and his wife on the other. All of them spent the time in weeping. When the jury was brought in Lucero seemed on the border of a collapse which was almost precipitated by the reading of the yer dict
 The court announced that sentence would be passed on May and the pri- soner and his weeping family were led out There is a wide range of pun ishment under this verdict. Lucero may be sent to the penitentiary for ten years or for hfe

APPROPRIATIONS CANAL co.
Is Preparing to Repair System and
 Utilize Surplus Waters.

The stockholders of the Appropria- tors canal company held a meeting in Melczer's hall yesterday that was quite largely attended and at which action was taken looking toward the placing of their property fin commission" at an early day and it's preparation for supplying the possible needs of the Grand canal and adjacent lands dur follow by reason of summer drouth and the Injury to the Arizona canal dam.
 This company owns the old Grand canal head about three miles above Tempe on the north side of the river and has a canal excavated through the Indian slough which is a natural wa terway, and on beyond for some dis tance west of the M. & P bridge at Tempe. It was designed originally to be used as a means of utilizing flood waters that have been going to waste, notably on such occasions as last year when there was for short seasons plen- ty of water in the river but which ran by before the lands could all be water ed through the regular headgates and channels. The recent floods while not materially injuring the head gate or the upper reaches of the canal did tear out some portions of the excava- ton west of the Tempe bridge. To re- pair these breaks and dig a new ditch where necessary, and make such trih- ing repairs as may be needed above, and more especially to defray the ex- Dcnse of connecting the Appropria tors canal with the Grand canal lower down it is estimated that Q cash fund

of $7,5OO will be needed. The princi- pal part of this expense will be in the construction of three bridges under the railroad tracks between the lower present ending of the Appropriators canal and the Grand canal, a short dis tance this side of Tempe. or some where in the region north of the joint head of the lower canals.
 IL is deemed that this project will in no way interfere with the other canal enterprises but viii help them by saving much water that will otherwise 20 to waste
