Atmospheric Presaure.

If you desire to obtain a vivid idea of the force of atmospheric pressure try the following simple experiment:
 Place an ordinary wooden ruler on table in such manner that half of it will project beyond the edge of the table and then over the table and tine portion of the ruler thereon lay smooth sheet of paper.
 Now, if you strike the exposed part of the ruler it will in nine cases out of ten break in half, and yet the sheet of paper on the table will neither te raised nor moved in the slightest from it's position. The simple reason is be- cause the atmospheric pressure exert ed on the paper Is more than sufficient to counterbalance the force of the blow which is struck at the ruler
 By means of simple experiments like these one can learn great deal of science.

CUSHIONS AND PILLOWS.
They Should Be Comfortable, Home
 like and COzy Objects.


 like and Coxy Objects.
 One must agree with writer in the House Beautiful that the popularity of tomahawks and war paint as sofa pill low decorations is difficult to under stand. "A pillow" remarks this sensi- ble writer, lis, or should be, comfort able, homelike and rather cozy object. A savage bristling with paint and feathers does not invite companionship. The Gibson pillow Is almost as atrocious as the Indian pillow, and with it should be classed the portrait pillow and the pillow etched with the poker. A plain pillow, 20 by 20, made of linen or some other washable material, is joy to the eye after the fussy, dressed up pillows of the shops. Against brown or green wall pillows in plain linen, the colors ranging through the nasturtium shades, make an extremely agreeable color effect When decoration is de- sired excellent results are obtained by cross stitch. Canvas makes a good foundation for pillows of this sort" Java prints, India calicoes, Japanese printed crape and many other inex- pensive cottons are to be had and make very attractive pillows. For bedroom lowered chintz cushions are delightful. If .handsomer fabrics are desired, there are plenty of soft toned liberty silks. by which any color scheme can be secured. Any of these are to be preferred to the Indian, Gib- son and college atrocities one sees only too often

 T received q note from q friend the { other morning with Instructions to ring 5 her up on the telephone any day from 10 to II or evenings from [ to S. said sthe busy woman. Now, that's what I call common sense if somewhat pro- scribing. Questioned about her plan she gave her reasons succinetly. I have to regulate telephone hours or should live on the stairs.

After dinner I aln willing to be li. 2 up for an hour. Of course if something of importance has happened I do not scold about being called to the phone at other times, but women don't wait to have something to say always, as most of us know Aft CT rushing downstairs in answer to it's summons I used to find that some sen- timental woman friend wanted to know how I felt, or some gossip de sired to tell me all she knew and drain for twenty minutes or so. It would have been insanity for me if hadn't put the embargo on promiscuous ring ing up. belong to organizations, have family, am churchwoman- all these duties are absorbing so I am not one of those with nothing to do but to ceaselessly ring up women with out mental occupations.

party lash brought MT. Andrews to the administration way of thinking on the question of statehood for Ari zona and New Mexico, and from that day to the present Andrews has been an advocate Of joint statehood.
 In Arizona Mark Smith was elected to congress on a platform opposed to joint statehood. He remained true to that platform and to the people of Arizona and made a fight for them which has never been equalled in con gTess by any other territorial delegate in congress. Does anyone believe that had Delegate Smith agreed to the passage of the Hamilton joint statehood bill, as originally introduc- ed, that it would have failed of pas sage? EF ssE :.
 We do not want to say that there is. any republican in Arizona who would nave fell flat before the powers of the republican party as did Andrews, but we desire to say, as the Miner has raised the question of what a repub- Hcan could do for Arizona in congress, that no Arizona republican could have done for Arizona what Mark Smith accomplished last winter, by holding the solid democratic vote of the senate against the proposition to make of Arizona a province of New Mexico

TERRITORIAL DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION AT BiSBEE.

During the session, of the territorial democratic committee in Phoenix on Saturday an authorized invitation will be extended to the territorial commit, tee to call the convention of demo crats this year in the city of Bisbee, by the members of the committee present from this county. At the meeting of the county democratic committee held in Bisbee two weeks ago resolution was adopted direct ing committee members from this county to do all they could at Phoe- nix to bring the convention to Bis bee
 It is believed thaL the convention will be called for Bisbee by unanim. ous vote of the committee, as there are many reasons why the conven. tion should this year be held in Co chise county. Notwithstanding the fact that this county has ever remain. ed loyal in returning majorities for democratic candidates it has nevei been honored by meeting of the ter ritorial democratic convention, or by the assembling here of the demo cratic committee of the territory
Bisbee daily review., 1906-08-03

Democratic candidates in the past have been nominated in Williams, Prescott and several times in Phoenix and Tucson; Cochise county has never failed to give to these candidates a majority and it is now right and proper that the good old democratic county of Cochise should have the honor of visit from the prominent democrats of the territory who will compose the democratic convention.
 Bisbee will poll the largest demo- cratic vote this fall of any Arizona city and Cochise county promises to poll a larger democratic vote than any other county in the territory. Co., chise is the old home of Mark Smith who is to receive the unanimous non.- ination of the approaching convention For these reasons and others which might be named Bisbee has a claim on the convention this year against which we do not expect to hear a single dissenting voice.
 When the convention has been call ed for Bisoee it will be in order for the county democratic committee to appoint special committee to look after the necessary preparations for accommodating the convention and the entertainment of the delegates. This committee should he added hy 9 committee of citizens of Bisbee and when the convention adjourns let it be said that as a success it's equal has never been recorded in Arizona.

AN OBJECT LESSON.

Talk is cheap but it requires a re- publican delegate to secure anything for Arizona in a republican congress. -Bisbee Miner.
 We all know what a republican could have done in congress during the last session. Tn that congress it was announced to be the policy of the erepublican party and the repub- Iican administration to make a single state out of the territories of New Mexico and Arizona, and we all know what every republican got who had the manhood to stand out against the joint statehood bill; to use a barn-yard ex- pression, they "got it where the chick en got the axe" We have an example of what republican influence and the party lash did for republican dele gates in that congress. Our sister territory elected "Bull'' Andrews to represent New Mexico; the platform of the convention which named him as candidate declared opposition to joint statehood. After he had been elected, the republican committee of New Mexico held a meeting and pass ed further resolutions against the Hamilton Joint statehood bill.
 Delegate Andrews when he reached Washington was taken in hand by Beveridge, Cannon and perhaps the president; he was led into the political mountains and there shown that il he would agree to joint statehood a seat in the United States senate await ed him. This with the threat of the
