STERN CODE OF THE HINDUs.
Ideal of Truthfulness Held High and
Carefully Practiced.

l6eal or iruInIuIneSS F1elC E1l9n anu
Carefully Practiced.
Absolute self-mastery Is the ideal OF
a Hindu, writes Swami Abhedananda
in Good Housekeeping. Every man and
woman in India struggles hard to &C.
complish It by practicing austeridess
fasting and various kinds OF devotional
exercises. The householder is not sup
posed to indulge in the desires Of the
flesh. He should practice moderation
in eating and drinking. He should
hold the ideal of simple living and
practice it in his daily life. The Hindu
men and women are not allowed to
drink liquors, and the higher the social
rank the more rigorous becomes the
law of self-restraint.
The majority Of the Hindus live
strictly upon vegetarian diet, and do
rot eat animal flesh. They do not kill
animals for food, and they train their
children to practice this virtue Of non
killing. They do not believe that low
ct animals are created to sustain hu-
man life; but, on the contrary, they
hold that in the process Of evolution
the life of the lower animal is as i'm
portant as that of the human being.
There are many families in India
whose ideal Is to sacrifice everything
for the sake of truth, because they be-
lieve that the eternal truth cannot be
realized by one who is not absolutely
truthful.

The Money-Mad Poor.

It Is a great mistake to suppose that
every rich man is money mad, for
many rich men are money sick, and it
is q still greater mistake to suppose
that the only money mad people in the
world are rich people. A man who Is
moor but bent on becoming rich Is much
more likely to be money mad than a
man who has an Independent fortune,
only he shows 1t in different way. A
man of large fortune who is money
mad shows it by his continued activity
in money making. The poor man who
is money mad shows it by envying md
hating those who are more successful.

Sultan's Costly Dinners.

Five thousand dollars Is about the
average cost of dinner in the Turkish
sultan's palace. The meal comprises
fifty or more dishes daily, and the sui
tan generally partakes from FIVE to six.
Every dish, before it reaches the royal
table, is tasted in the kitchen by the
grand vizier to guard against poison.
II is then sealed and taken to the sui
tan. The vast cost Of these repasts
comes from the fact that guests and re-
tainers who dine at the sultan's daily
eypeuse number several thousands.

Get Out of Prison by Marrying.

In some parts Of Siam girls who
reach a. certain age without marrying
are placed in a privileged class under
the special care Of the king, who binds
himself to find a husband for them all.
His method is simplicity itself. a pris-
oner in any one of the Siamese jails
may gain his pardon and release by
marrying one of the ineligible class.
Whether he is already married or not
is of no great consequence, for in Siam
a man is not restricted to one wife; but
still many prisoners prefer jail.

ARiZ0NA'S JUDICIARY HELD IN HIGH ESTEEM

The judiciary of the coun- try should be regarded as un- sullied and above reproach. When the slightest taint at taches to the bench the public become distrustful, and any accusation having for its pur- pose the soiling of the judicial ermine is greedily accepted as a nourishing morsel. It mat ters not by whom the on slaught is made; few stop to inquire the authenticity of the charge, and ones integrity is challenged and his probity brought into question. The accuser may be a man of let letters-a disciple of Esculap- jas, a representative of Di- vinity, student of Blackstone or the untutored herdsman- the arrow finds its mark and spreads its venom to the de- light of he who would assas- sinate character that his plead ings might for a moment fall upon willing ears. Men too soon forget their own faults; or, if restless under the sting of merited exposure and just ridicule. are prone to sacrifice pure men that public execra- tion may be diverted for only a brief period from where ii deservedly belongs.
 Arizona is justified in her pride of our judiciary. Those now occupying the bench are learned in law, of the highest types of manhood, Christian gentlemen in whose honor the entire people have inalianable faith. Before the bench as al present constituted honest men need have no fear but that justice will be meted out to them.

Arizona to Be Worlds
 Greatest Mining Camp

According to carefully figured esti mates by competent authorities, Ari- zona will rank second at the end of the present year in the production oi copper, but one state being ahead oft.
 While this territory will rank sec ond this year, there is but little doubt. taking the present rate of increase into consideration, that she will lead the list before another year passes by.
 When it is remembered that the mineral resources of this territory are still in the exploitation stage. her pres- ent rank ss . producer of the red metal is listle short of marvellous, and the prediction so often made that Ari- zona would one day be the worlds greatest mining camp is by no means considered the dream it once was.

U. s. Will Likely
 Pay Election Bills

1t is probable the Federal govern ment may pay all the expense ::of the general election just closed in Ari- zona. Clerk of the Board c. R. Howe has received letter from Governor Kibbey which calls for duplicate claims of al election expense in Cochise county. It Is construed that the $l50.OO0 appropriated by congress to pay the election expense for . vote on the joint statehood question and election of delegates to the constitu- tional convention means the payment by Uncle Sam of the entire general election cost, since it is . difficult matter to seggregate the cost of coun- ty .and state expense. therefore the ruling calls for duplicate claims and receipts of election expense to be filed with the interior department. The cost of the election in Cochise county will reach about $S000 and the co nnty stands in fair way to be reimbursed this amount.

0Ide st d-Timers
 In Arizona

Concerning an item in the Inter- standardization about Ed. Peck being the oldest white resident of Arizona, the Yuma Sentinel says:
 "The Douglas International says that Bisbee has probably the oldest white resident of Arizona-Edward Peck, who came to what is now the territory in 1853. There are two men now living in Yuma who "beat MT. Peck to it" by two and four years, respectively. Capt. Isaac Polhamus came to Yuma Chen Arizona City) in 1856 and has lived here ever since. Hall Hanlon, the oldest old-timer, came in 1854, and is here yet, haie and hearty at the age of S2. He came here to work as q carpenter, and help. ed to build old Fsrt Yuma.
 "Capt. Polhamus is 7s. in the best of health and apparently good for many years to come.
 "The Edward Peck mentioned above is distinguished ;a another way aside rom being an oid-tinfer, in that he-, discovered the famous Peck nine near Prescott. He sold his two-thirds interest in the mine for $500, 900, but is said to be . poor man today"

HOW OLD IS ANN ?" HAS BEEN ASKED.
Denver Post.

Election being over, the question "How old is this land of ours?" is agitating the minds of eastern scientists and people generally. It is certainly refreshing to be able to turn away from the con- sideration of politics and cleo tions to something that peo- pie know little about.
 According to the latest discoveries this American continent, which up to recently was cons; ;dered a new coun- try, is very, very old. The Brooklyn Standard Union concerning the sub ject says that how old is that land of ours, judged by the occupation of man? Joaquin Miller speaks of it as, "That old. old land, which men call new," and new discoveries, especially in the new regions of what constitute what men call the United States, sup- ply additional testimony that the "new world" is older than it has been believed to be, and that it was Occu- pied by man at a remoter period than was once supposed. Out near Omaha, Nebraska, in the middle section o this country, the skeleton of a man has been unesrthed which has been pronounced by Prof. Osborn, of our own Columbia University, to be the most primitive yet discovered any where, except the so-called Neander- thai man, whose bones were discov- ere- in Germany. The professor says 1 the latter is a mere animal, while the Nebraska man was a thinking man, though of the lowest order, iud ging l by comparative measurement of skulls. It is pleasant to think that if this land of ours was not the original home of the race, as some believe, at least its population began with think ing men. and. furthermore, that con- dition has continued to the present day, the thinking powers of the in habitants developing to higher and higher planes.
