Capture Him While He 10 Still Young,
Doodle and Plastic.

Because it is the duty Of every wo-
man to marry some man it by no
means follows that she is deprived of
the privilege Of making acute discrim-
nation. On the contrary, to fulfill
her mission as completely as possible
she should exercise the greatest care in
selecting mate. Time was when she
had no say In the matter, and In some
countries she has little or none today,
but in this happily civilized land she
still possesses and will undoubtedly
hold for AL time the right first to
choose and then ensnare. It is a no
BILE prerogative-one, In our judgment,
that should be appreciated and cher
ished above all others. And yet as we
with caution. Let nothing be left to
chance, as Plato would have had it
when he decreed that pairing should
be done by lot While not overnice, be
at least particular in order that the
one chosen may feel honored by the
distinction conferred upon him and so
be the more readily induced to show
MS undy1ng gratefulneS6.
Much that was thought and written
years ago on how to choose wife was
good enough for the time, but the re-
cent reversal Of the relative attitudes
Of seeker and sought renders 1T value
less. Nevertheless, despite the fact
that in considering the points to be
needed and the precautions to be OBJ
served by womankind we find our
selves In a fallow field, certain gen.
eral principles may be regarded as es-
tabiished. 1t is best, for example, to
capture husband while he is still
young, docile and plastic. Preferably
also he should be in love. He may
then be trained after the manner best
calculated to serve the convenience Of
her for whom thencenorth he must
and should toil.-George Harvey in
North American Review.

THE TONGUE OF A BIRD.
An Organ Which Varies Much In the
Different Species.

Few people have given thought to
the subject of birds tongues. Many,
even of the amateur bird students.
know little of the literature on the
subject and still less from personal OBJ
servation.
Birds must use their bills as hands,
and to some extent the tongues supple
ment such USE Thus nut and seed
eating birds extract the kernel from
the shell, which Is cracked between
the mandibles.
The full complement of bones Of the
tongue consists Of eight The shape
varies considerably in different species,
and the comparative size very much
more, although there is a prevailing
general resemblance. The size and de-
velopment of the various bones con-
troll the shape and utility Of the organ.
Well developed front bones mean a
thick, fleshy tongue, such as we find
In members of the duck family, while
small forward bones usually accom-
pany small tongue Of less Importance
to the owner, sometimes little more

lean.
Among such birds as have occasion
to protrude the tongue well beyond the
tip of the bill the hind bones are mar
velously developed and greatly elon-
gated, for these are the bones on which
the tongue Is hung.
The edges of the tongues of most
birds are more or less fringed, this fea-
ture being most noticeable In thin
tongues. Most birds have greater OF
less number Of papillae-small fieshy
projections, spinelike in appearance
and usually inclined backward-on the
upper surface of the tongue. These
are of service In working the food
backward toward the throat
Some Of the sea birds have very sim
pie tongues, which serve but little pur
pose. The tongues Of the honey creep
ers have very fine and long featherlng
while those of the woodpecker are long
slender and pointed, and the roots OF
some species curve clear around ths
back of the skull, up over the crown
and their tips rest at the base Of ths
upper mandible. With the exceptioI
of the sapsuckers the tongues of wood
peckers are capable Of great protru
sion, and the tip is barbed Inc sap
suckers. however, instead of having
sharp. barbed tongues like those o
other woodpeckers, have brushlik'
tongues as a result Of the degeneration
of the bristles on their SURFACE mt
hairs standing out from the tongue
rather than pointing backward.
Birds with long bills do not Away
have correspondingly long tongues
The kingHshers, with their dispropor
tionately large bills, have short tongues
The outer edges of the very lonl
tongues of hummlng birds are closel,
rolled up into two tubes lying side b.
side, by means of which the birds ar
enabled to suck the nectar from how

WANDERING WORKERS,
Many Skilled Mechanics Like to Trave
Over the Globe.

In New York may be found skillet
mechanics who have been wandering
over the globe for half a lifetime.
There are few trades in which skill
ed man with the mastery of sererll
tongues cannot earn living in almost
any considerable city of the world.
Most of the mechanics who move
thus freely about the world are cont
mental Europeans. Woodcarvers. stcnc
cutters, electrical workers Of various
kinds and garment cutters are among
the mechanics that move about most
freely.
The great temptation to such wan
derer is the trip around the world. The
thing is not really difficult He can
cross this continent profitably In few
months, with stop at Chicago and
perhaps another between Chicago and
San Francisco. A stop of few weeks
or months at San Francisco will put
him In funds for the voyage to Aus
tralia.
There are four or five Australian
cities in which a skilled man Is sure Of
prOuldDle employ luenl. Alter AuSlro-
liza there are the great Anglo Indian
cities.
The journey to Europe can be made
with stop at Cairo If one chooses to
make little detour, and then Paris
awaits one only few hours beyond
the end of the Mediterranean. Here
are cheap living and good wages In
a few months one is more than equip
ped for the voyage to New York.
One has only to keep sober and know
how to save money In order to make
such journey around the world with
entire success. 1t does not mean I'M
comfortable living. In fact, the jour-
neyman must be well dressed and
must present good appearance to get
on. At the height Of the season hardly
any city has enough skilled garment
cutters, for example, and the wander
ers are always welcome when they
reach a new town. Washington Post

and WHAT WILL THE OUTCOME BE?

BILE is demanded justice alone is want

to get it or know the reason.
The state of Nevada has the right
to regulate railroad traffic and rates
within its boundaries, the remedy is
within our own hands through our
legislative bodies. Shall we permit rail
road influence to rob us Of its
The legislators are created by the
people, and are at the service of the
people, they WILL do our bidding if
instructed. There can be no retaliation
on the part of the railroad, especially
as we are only asking for our rights
in equity; within our own borders we
exercise the power, without the state
confines the interstate m com
mission dispenses justice.
At the next session of the legisla-
ture a test of strength between the
people of a sovereign state and a rail-
road will take place, the Legislators
acting as referees-bear that in mind
and never forget that it is up to them
to render a great service to Nevada,
and to you personally by reducing the
cost of necessities, if you are not a
shipper, and if you are a shipper, by
helping you TO a v money instead #

Every newspaper in the state has
a petition on file, and every man in
Nevada is asked to call and put his
name to it. At the present time there
is nothing more important for the state
than rate legislation, it is the foun-
dation of permanent prosperity, which
will be felt by everybody whether or
not directly concerned.
And remember, it is a test of
strength between the people of Neva-
da and the railroad, our personal and
civic pride will not permit us to be
bested or to tolerate the shame of be-
ing controlled by the railroad.

THE PEOPLE OF NEVADA VS.. THE
= RAAAROAD-A TEST OF
STRENGTH

At~the meeting of the legislature a
bill will be introduced regulating rail
road charges within the state. The ne
ycessity for such legislation, without
going into details, will be apparent
from the following illustration:
1t costs $1.60 per hundred to ship
mining machinery from Chicago to
Hazen-a distance of 1898 miles, and
$1.5S from Hazen to Goldield-a dis
tance of 228 miles, nearly ten times
as much. Similarly high rates apply to
all other commodities. The quantity of
freight moved over the roads in Ne
vada. is as great as elsewhere, in fact
at the present time both passenger and
freight facilities are taxed to the ut
most, Nevada being no longer merely
a bridge overland. While the operating
expenses may be greater. which re-
mains to be proved, the traffic rates
are entirely cut of proportion.
J What justice the charges are based
upon is inconceivable, the only expla-
nation being that Nevada is helpless.
There were other numerous instan-
ces where the railroad attempted 70
charge all the traffic will bear, but the
people directly concerned fought for
their rights and won.
s We are, struggling and straining to
ont utmost to foster our individual un-
dertakings, which in the aggregate will
build up the state. We havo been just
in granting the railroad many valuable

THE TAX PROBLEM

Just how the taxes are to be paid this year is serious problem with the large property owners and business men of Globe and Gila county, because of the unsettled financial conditions. The regular county taxes become delinquent after December 9 and they are unusu. ally high this year on account of the new courthouse and school bonds. In some of the large cities additional time has been granted property owners in which to pay these taxes, but it seems that nothing short of legislative action can remedy the conditions in Arizona. However, there has been considerable stretching of federal laws governing financial institutions during the last six weeks and some method of giving more elasticity to the territorial statutes gov erning the payment of taxes should be
 discovered before the time limit expires.

SUBSTITUTES FOR MONEY

Business men seldom pay an account in cash. They use checks both for con venience and because of the record of payment. Moreover, business men would prefer to receive payment in checks. They do not offer the same temptation to robbers and they are more easily handled for deposit in the banks.
 The use of checks by business men is a habit; the use of cash by wage earners and the smaller salaried men is also a habit. As has been demonstrated in the past ten days, man buys and pays with whatever form of currency he re- eeives for his services. He has found that a ten-dollar check does the busi- ness just as we'll and goes just as far as ten-dollar greenback or gold piece.
 Many employers pay only in gold as the easier to handle in making up pay rolls. Gold pieces do not stick together; greenbacks sometimes do. But others use printed money and try so far as pos sible to get new bills.
 Either form, however, saws time to the clerical force over the use of checks made out in small denominations, so hot thax- ka raalsIx, ,,oal Cor ha payment of small bills. Hence their use and hence the workingman s habit of using cash and of his feeling that he has in some way been misused when he gets cheeks in payment of his labors.
 Moreover, a cashier cheek is better than that of business man only as the bank is more able to pay or has the larger surplus. A man might prefer Mir. Morgan's or Mir. Rockefeller s cheek to that of any bank, or he might prefer that of the bank as nearer the source of real cash.
 But after the present experience there  should be better appreciation of sub stitutes for money and less prejudice against asset money. If cheeks have been found good and unexpectedly con venient, what objection could there be for instance against promise-to- currency based upon Globes municipal bonds.
 If bank held as part of it's assets the bonds of any Arizona city, would any Arizonan object in time of emer- geney, if it deposited these bonds with the federal government and so secured the right to issue a certain percentage of their face value in eurreney' Then if all banks using this means for in ereasing circulation paid a small tax for the privilege, which would form an aggregate fund for the redemption of the issue of any bank that might fail, would not such money be as good as that based upon government bondsi
 Add to this the further requirement of an increasing tax if the issue was outstanding for more than ninety days, so compelling its retirement after such an emergency had passed as the crop movement, or financial scare, and such asset currency would look pretty good to people, who have found nothing to frighten them in a cashier check.
 It has been campaign of education as well as time of monetary stress.
