A Curious Custom.

In certain parts Of India in families
where there are several daughters the
youngest sisters may only marry after
the elder sister is married. OF course
It frequently happens that no sutton
appears for the elder, in which case
she is got out Of the way by a very
neat expedient. She is welded to q
tree or a large flower, and then the
younger sister may marry. The elder
sister must be careful, however, to
choose a plum, apple or apricot tree,
from which she can get divorce, for
II she married an elm, pine or poplar
these are sacred trees and must not be
Hifed with.

of their constituents to venture
to risk their chances for a re-elec-
ton, even when, backed by the
strong public sentiment that
certainly would be created
through their public spirit in
legislating themselves out of
office.
It is not probable, however,
that the house. which is not cum
bered by a four-years term, will
permit the senate to dictate in
this matter from pure selfish
ness, even if it so disposed, and
it can force a reapportionment if
it will.
Moreover a reapportionment
at this time would permit another
in 1911 without effecting the ten
ure of Office, and by that date the
population Of the state would
doubtless be so fixed as to make
highly improbable any such dis
proportionate fuctuation as has
occurred in the past ten years.
The increase would be more even
throughout the state, resulting
in no sectional injustice.

His wig In His Pocket.

Benjamin Franklin once wore his
wig In his pocket at the court Of YER
sailles. When he was about to present
himself at the court for the first time
he was Informed that wig was essen
tial. Franklin's head was SO large that
no ordinary wig would begin to fit it.
However, one was found sufficiently
large to pass him through the ante
chambers, after which he was permit
ted to remove the ridiculous conven.
honal appendage and place it in his
ample pocket.

Twins Born I'm Different Years.
II have often been present at the

"Only once was present, though, when
the twins were born in different years. .
'Twins born in different years? You

'Not bit Of it," said the old nurse.
'"The thing happened in Pittsburg in

Tale of q Coat.

The clawhammer, or evening coat
has many oddities of cut. These oddi-
ties were once essentials. There was,
in fact, a time when every idiosyn-
Grassy of the clawhammer served some
useful purpose. The cuta way front Of
the coat, for instance, was originally
cut away so that the wearer when on
horseback would not he incommoded.
The two buttons at the back were for
fastening up the tails out of harms
way, each tail having in the past a
buttonhole at it's end. The sleeves,
with their false cuffs, are relics of the
days when sleeves were always turned
back and therefore were always made
with cuffs that unbuttoned. The col
lar, with it's wide notches, is a sur
vival of the old collar that was notch
ed in order that its wearer could turn
it up conveniently in cold or stormy
weather. The dress coat, in word, is
patchwork Of relics-relics once es-
sential, but now Of no use on earth :

A Literary Tragedy.

volume of his great on the French
revolution he lent the manuscript to
his friend John Stuart Mill. One even
Ing soon afterward Mill entered Car
,lyle's door, pale as Hector's ghost, with
the dismal information, gasped out in
almost inarticulate words, that with
the exception Of about four or five
sheets the manuscript was completely
annihilated. Mill had left it too care
lessly lying about, and servant, think
Ing 1t SO much waste paper, had burned
1t. Five months of stcadfast, occasion
ally excessive and painful toll utterly
lost! For three weeks Carlyle could
do nothing but read Marryat's novels.
Then one night sitting talking to his
cook, he decided it should be written
again and eventually finished "such a
task as I never tried before or since"

THE MOST FAMOUS ARTISTS
 MODEL IN THE WORLD.

The June American Magazine con- tains an account of Antonio Corsi, the most famous artists model in the world. Photographs are reproduced, showing Corsi in several poses and in his rooms in New York in the midst of hundreds of costumes. Numerous stories of his remarkable experiences and talents are told.
 No public building of this decade is complete without at least a dozen figures of Corsi painted upon its walls. The New Amsterdam Theater. New York. boasts fifteen such repetitions, the Boston library presents him seventy times to the public gaze. The Mckinley memorial windows for the Canton church show the sun shin- ing through him four times. The Metropolitan Museum revels in his multiplicity. Corsi as an Indian,

Rogers has been considered a little off and it was feared that in his condition, made worse by illness and the extreme heat of Tuesday afternoon, he might have been taken violently i'll while walking home and have wandered off through the brush this side of the Butte.
 About the middle of the afternoon Justice Nielsen and w. T. Cummins drove toward the Priest ranch looking for his tracks and thought they found them where he crossed a fence into a field. They looked over the field thor oughly but were unable to get any track of the trail, or find any trace of the missing man.

CHILDREN.

Bring the children up to be helpers. The small tasks faithfully attended to. mould the child's character, and give him an appreciation of the dignity and pleasure that comes to every human being from good work well done. Let the smallest tot be brought up to help mother in every way that a child can. and you have laid the foundation for good manners-considerati for those about one-and are cultivating one of the important clements for the future happiness of the household.
 THE DIET
 Let the diet consist largely of fruits. vegetables. cereals and milk, rather than of meat and stimulants If you wish to cultivate health and that pleas antness of disposition that goes with good health and gentle breeding. Teach the children the importance of coming to table looking neat and well groom ed. Supply them with plenty of good soap like Pears, and always have a piece of pumice ready to remove any bad stains from the fingers. Habits of neatness early inculcated last through life.
 DEPORTMENT.
 Neatness and order are not as diff cult as carelessness and disorder. More time Is lost looking for things mislaid than in keeping them in their proper places. The boys as we'll as the girls should be required to take proper care of their clothing and belongings. Nc manly boy will make his mothers tasks harder, if he is made to under stand about it. Looking out for moth- CT and helping father becomes habit. that occasionally goes too far where parents are selfish, but the danger is usually the other way round. Have a good time with the children, enter into their plans and pleasures and you will hold your place with them when they have scattered to make homes for themselves. If mother comes to be considered a back number. it is usually the fault of early training. The flow CT is like the seed. the crooked shoot makes a crooked tree too strong to be straightened, though it might easily have been trained to uprightness in the beginning.

RESULTS OF THE WIND.
It Considerably Damaged Several
 Awnings in Town.

The heavy wind of late Tuesday evening played havoc with the canvas awnings in town and a couple of them were totally wrecked. The one on the front of the Andre building. shading the Rieckhoff bakery was put out of business and a new one will be neces- sary. In front of Schaulis' barber shop. not only the awning but part of the frame suffered destruction. The wind, however, was not entirely re- sponsible for the damage that occurred there. MT. Schaulis' horse was tied to one of the large supports quietly en- toying a feed of grain. A sudden gust of wind blew the awning in the face of the animal which pulled back taking the support and the awning with it. The horse did a few fancy stunts in the street but was finally calmed down by the aid of dozen men and remov- ed from the rig. One shaft was broken the lights of the shop and restaurant were temporarily put out of commis- sion and the horse little bruised up. Considering what might have happen ed to the valuable animal. the owner is satisfied that no more dam age was done.

TO DEVELOP MINING PROPERTY

C. A. Carney. who is stopping at the Alhambra hotel. is now purchasing supplies from local merchants, pre- paratory to beginning work on the New Jersey group of mining claims. located in the Superior mining district. He will leave in a day or two for the hills, and will put ten men at work at once. His plan is to drive a tun- nel to cut the vein at the four hun dred foot level. The surface has been developed to show fine vein of ore and the tunnel is for the purpose of enabling him to take the product out at the least expense. The tunnel will also serve to drain the mine of any surface water it may contain. Mir. Carney is formerly from New Jersey. which accounts for the name of his claims. but he has lived in various parts of Arizona during several years past.

THE HOUSEHOLD LETTtR
 JEANETTE VAN RtiPfN
Filled With Useful Hints for Those Who Would Add to the Beauties and Comforts of Home.

Method is the first essential for making housekeeping effectual and re- moving it from the realm of drudgery into the field of skilled labor. The housekeeper who is successful must work according 10 a plan intelligently thought out. She must work cheer fully and take pleasure in turning out good job. Any other way of doing makes the work drag and the house. wife a hopeless drudge. old long before her time. She should take a short nap every afternoon and let it be under stood in the household that when mothers door is closed nothing short of a domestic tragedy is to be any ex- cuse for knocking. If she is one of the people who can't sleep in the day time. it is we'll to loosen the clothes and lie down flat, in a comfortable position. shut the eyes and relax.
 RELAXING
 is an art not difficult to acquire. Just flop. limbering every joint in your tody as a baby does. Don't allow any stiffness to remain anywhere in your anatomy. Begin with your neck and think about every joint from there down to your toes. until they are all loose. Then try to think of nothing whatever or of something trivial and pleasant. Fifteen minutes passed in this way will rest you more than hours of restless troubled sleep. Your nerves will regain their tone and small troubles will be easily passed over; your expression will be cheerful and attractive. and ugly lines will be Ctf1 nth hnN 1ffx- making you appear years younger. When sweeping have every window open 90 that the dust will fly out doors instead of settling on the walls and furniture. You won't take cold even in winter. The exercise will keep you warm.
 WHEN WASHING
 arrange your work so that you don't stoop over. Get a washing machine. a bread mixer. and any other labor sav- ing device that makes your work easy and effectual. A carpet sweeper and supply of dry mops will keep your house so clean that the regular sweep ings need not occur oftener than once a fortnight in most of the rooms. Look for pleasantness and cultivate the hab- it of seeing the funny side of things. Learn to laugh. A good laugh saves doctors bills. Singing makes de load light" the old darky said. and he was right. Learn to greet your friends with a smile. Everyone has troubles but the man or woman worth while bears their burden on their own shoul- ders. It is only the weakling that complains and tries to shift her trou- ble on to others.
