Arizona's Copper Production.

The principal industries of Arizona
are mining, agriculture, horticulture,
stockraising, wool-growing and lumber
ing. When Alexander Won Humboldt
passed through Arizona in the early
portion of this century, he predicted
that in the mountains Of that section
would eventually be found the greatest
mineral wealth of the United States,
and the immense development now go
ing on in the mining industry of the
Territory seems to fulfill this prophecy.
The greatest production is in copper.
Last year the copper mines of Arizona
produced al, 100000 pounds of copper,
or an increase of 600 per cent in eleven
years. Arizona is second among the
States and Territories of the Union in
copper production. The mining camps
are a thing Of the past and are being
supplanted by mining towns and cities
which would be credit to any COM
munity. These cities have municipal
waterworks, electric street railways,
public libraries, good hotels, two and
three-story stone and brick business
blocks, and best of all, thousands of
substantial homes, the majority of
which are owned by the men who live
In them.

THE CASE OF lisa.

1nexDl1cabIe How She Lost Her
Sense of Strict Honesty.
When, after a long succession Of
maids Of every imaginable-an some
time unimaginable-tem and tenn
permanent, the Winsteds discovered lisa
Ermentraut, they felt as if they had
suddenly found entrance into vale Of
peace. 1lsa's pink cheeks and plump,
trim little figure were as pleasing to
the eye as her pretty, deferential man
ners were soothing to the soul. More
over, she was neat and deft, and soon
revealed warmth Of devotion that
was unparalleled in the Winsted an.
nails Of the maids.
Ilsa's particular alteration was Julia,
the eldest daughter, a gay, warm heart
ed girl of twenty, who in her turn soon
became fond Of the little maid. Julia
often let lisa go to market with her,
and that to the little maid was days
treat. Miss Julia, giving her orders,
had a habit Of helping herself to nuts
or raisins, and tossing some to lisa.
One memorable day a salesman gave
her half a dollar too much change and
she passed that also to lisa.
II thought he was giving me too
much" she laughed, "but it's his own
lookout. You can buy yourself a new
ribbon with it."
There were many things that puzzled
lisa at first, but she grew to take them
as matter Of course-such, for in
stance, as Miss Margaret's turning a
rug upside down to hide. an ink spot
she had made upon it, and Mrs. Win
sted's laughing appropriation of a roll
of bills she found in one of Mr.. Win
sted's vests.
Hes forgotten it." she said. II
might as we'll have it,"
One day Julia came to her mother
greatly troubled She had caught lisa
In falsehood. They talked to lisa Sc
riously and she was fearful and re-
pentant, although she seemed strangely
perplexed. A little later a similar
thing happened, and when finally they
discovered lisa wearing a shirt waist
belonging to a guest who had just left
them, they decided that she must go.
lisa, heart-broken, pleaded that the
''lady had forgot the waist" but, as
Julia declared, that merely proved that
she had no sense Of honesty, and lisa
was discharged without a recommends
ton.
1t was such a disappointment, the
Winsteds said, for they were so fond
of lisa and had done so much for her.

Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue OF
Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Conn

credit where it is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and

Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Com

they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect cure. The follow
ing letter proves it.
DR.. S. G. Brigham, of Brigham
Park, Fitchburg, Mass, writes:
at gives me great pleasure to say that

Compound very efficaciOus, and often pre-
scribe it In my practice for female difficulties
my oldest daughter found it very benefi-

youngest daughter is now taking it for a fe-
male weakness, and is surely gaining in health
and strength.
81 freely advocate it as a most reliable spe-

Women who are troubled with pain
full or irregular periods, bloating (or
fatulency), weakness of organs, dis.
placements, Inflammation or liberation,
can be restored to perfect health and
strength by taking Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. If advice is
needed write to Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. She is daughter-in-law
of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty
five years has been advising sick
women free of charge. No other living
person has had the benefit of a
wider experience in treating female
ills. She has guided thousands to
health. Every suffering woman should
ask for and follow her advice if shs
wants to be strong and well.

ONLY SEVEN IN a CENTURY.
Umbrella improvements Have Not

Umbrella improvements Have Not
Been Frequently Patented.
Up to a few years ago, it is said, by
the American Inventor, only seven pat
ents on umbrellas had been issued in
years.
The ribs and stem of an umbrella are
generally made in factories having a
speciality of these items and are sent
thence to the real manufacturer. Here
first the man whose work it is to as
semble the parts inserts a bit of wire
into the small holes at the end of the
ribs, draws them together about the
main rod and puts on the ferrule

ed upon a splitting table, at which

crate hemmiDg machines. A thousand

work for one of these girls. The ma
chimes at which they work have a
speed of 5000 revolutions a minute
After hemming the cloth is cut into
triangular pieces with a knife as be-
fore, but with a pattern laid upon it.
The next operation is the sewing of
the triangular pieces together by ma
chinery.
The covers and the frames are now
ready to be brought together. In all
there are twenty-one places where the
cover is attached to the frame in the
average umbrella. The handle is next
glued on and the umbrella is ready for
pressing and inspection.
The development of the umbrella
has been rapid in the last few years.
We pick up even cheap one nova

spreads itself like an eagle ready for
its flight. We are going away and an
ordinary umbrella is too long to put
in our grip. We find among our as
sortment one that is meant for just such
an emergency, and which, in most ac-
commodating manner, folds up to suit
the size Of our travelling bag. Other
new ones lock with a key. Some
spread their shade over eight or nine
feet of territory, and manufacturers
aver that these are but a few of the
improvements which we may expect.

REPAIRING BRAIN.
A Certain way by Food.


Every minister, lawyer, journalist
physician, author or business man is
forced under pressure Of modern condi-
tons to the active and sometimes over
active use of the brain.
Analysis of the excreta thrown out
by the pores shows that brain work
breaks down the phosphate of potash,
separating it from it's heavier compan-
ion, albumen, and plain common sense
teaches that this elemental principle
must be introduced into the body anew
each day, if we would replace the loss
and rebuild the brain tissue.
We know that the phosphate of pot
ash, as presented in certain field grains,
has an affinity for albumen and that is
the only way gray matter in the brain
can be built. 1t will not answer to take
the crude phosphate Of potash of the
drug shop, for nature rejects it. The
elemental mineral must be presented
through food directly from Nature
laboratory.
These facts have been made use of in
the manufacture of Grape-Nuts, and
