Growina Flowers In Winter.

A long run of dark days in winter l" bad for the florists. It matters little how cold the weather is, provided there is sunshine, for the heat can a ways be maintained to the prorcl point, and with sunshine flowers wit bloom just as freely when the thel mometer shows an outdoor temperG- ture of zero as at the freezing poiE,. though of course more money must h.: spent for coal. But when, day after day, for weeks at time, clouds ove"- hang the sky, nothing will grow as :. should. The carnation buds develon slowly until they are half open a:,:; wait for sunshine, and if it does not come in four or five days the blooms decay. So also it is with callas and roses. They will open halfway, then. without sunlight, will quickly spoil.- St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

If the Tree Falls, What of the ivy?


 We hear a great deal about the mod ern girl developing mannishness, inde- pendence and losing her femininity A great many people are much alarmed because girls are not trained, as for merly, in womanly gentleness. It is a beautiful figure of speech to describe the feminine character as the ivy which clings to the masculine oak for support and in return covers and beau- tifies it's hideous knots and scars
 But if the oak falls what becomes of the ivy?
 There is too much of this i9y elin@ing and beautifyin& idea i'll training girls They should be taught that it is inst as necessary 10 be independent. to lo self supporting as to be able to cling and beautify. III other words, they ought to be able to stand alone if the tree falls and not go down with it. Success Magazine.

The Last Match Saved Them,

The ship had lain bccalmed in a tlop- ical sea for three days. Not a breat.. of air stirred thc mirrorliE1e surface Of the sea or the limp sails that hung; from the yards like drapery carved ll stone. The captain resolved to wait no longer. He piped up all hands oil deck and requested the passengers to also come forward.

How They Dance In Hungary.

With the exception of the Spaniards there is no nation in Europe that dances like the Hungarians. They love it with love that amounts to a passion They not only go in for 1t heart and soul, but they will dance on anything in any sort of weather. A paddock. a village street, stable yard, the earth ell floor of q. wayside csarda-it Is ali the same to them. Not the scorching sun or the whirling dust or the peltine rain or the falling snow will deter them. They all dance beautifully too. It seems to be in their blood.

ltaIy's Leaning Towers.

Most gleaners of the wonderful con sider the leaning tower of Pisa to be something unique in architecture. This is an error however, for there are two others in Italy and several in other European cities. The two at Bologna are the most remarkable. One of them Is S21 feet in height and leans over six and half feet from the perpendic- ular, and the other is 161 feet high and has "a lean" of over nine feet The oldest of these two remarkable structures was built in the year 111O.

The astonishing abundance of flies during the latter part of the summer is accounted for by the estimate made by an eminent entomologfst that the progeny of single house fly in the course of one summer will number z06032O. If 1t were not for the in- numerable enemies provided by nature for the destruction of the fly, tho whole air would be filled by the end of Au- gust with swarms of dies, which would render life insuppoptable.

Toctnpicks.

', Toothpicl.s were in common use In incient Rome. Sometimes they were made of quiils. but preferably of the wood of the mastic or lentisk tree, whose ast"ingent and aromatic gum is known to modern dentistry. Martial epigrams frequently mention tLe den tiscalpium, or t3othpick, and recon mend the wooden kind above the quill. The toothnicll was taken to ia@lau5 by travellers from Italy and 'franec.

Great Pigeon Cities In tEae Swamps

Each spring in May al the rosy gulls Of wide region somehow agree to re sort to q particular one of various marshy lakes for the purpose of rear ing their young. Just how they decide the important question is not for us hu- mans to know. At any rate, what they do select is a great area of grass, reeds or rushes growing out of the water, and there, out of the abundance of dry stems, each pair builds partly float ing nest, side by side with others. thousands upon thousands of them. These great cities of the prairie pi. geon present one of the most dramatic, spectacular sights in the bird life of this continent, comparable in a way to the former breeding "roosts' of the real wild pigeon.-Herbert K.

 c. p. Tomlinson returned to Douglas this morning from Fl Paso. Mir. Tom lInson returned last week from a trip to the Mogollon mining district in Grant county, New Mexico. where he says the mining activity is unusual and that several companies are meet ing with success.

FORT HUACHUCA WILL
 PLAY DOUGLAS SUNDAY
The Soldier Boys Will Be at Lincoln Park to Play the
 Local Team.

On Sunday next at Lincoln park the soldier ball team from Fort Huachuca will play the Douglas team This game promises to be one of the best of the season in this section and the local team will work hard at practice from now until the game is called on Sunday afternoon, hoping that they will be able to win victory for their team and their home city.
 Harry Overlook of the home team received a letter this morning from the Fort Huachuca team in which the offer for game made by him was ac- cepted. Overlook wrote the soldier team offering game for either the ex- penses of the trip or on a basis of 60 and 40 per cent of the gate receipts and if they win they will receive 50 per cent.
 The Fort Huachuca team has won two games this season from the Tomb stone team and the Douglas boys have twice defeated Bisbee during the sea son, so that the game here next Son. day will be in the shape of a contest for the championship of Cochise coun- ty.
 It is expected that there will be many come from Bisbee to witness the game here and while the home boys are making no brags of what they will be able to do with the soi- dlers they feel confident that the game is not a hopeless one.

 BUILDING FOR PHOENIX
Capital City Surprises itself In Matter of Raising Money
 for Building.

The campaign for the Phoenix Y. NJ. c. A building fund closed Satur- day night mid scenes of the greatest enthusiasm. an enthusiasm that was inspired by a most wonderful success, an enthusiasm that would have been warranted by even a smaller achieve ment, for in the final accomplishment Phoenix takes her place at the head of the list for liberality in this most worthy cause, says the Republican. One hundred and two thousand dollars, approximately, was raised exceeding by at least s2,000, the most sanguine hopes of any committeeman when the work was first undertaken. The pro- iect had been carefully considered by conservative men when 1t was first broached. The accomplishments in other cities were noted with particu- larity and special thought was given to those which had made the best rec ords in the past. In some quarters there was doubt of success, while in others there was TO doubt but that enough could be raised for a good building, but it was not deemed wise to undertake too much. It was finally decided to make the minimum fund s60,000, the raising of which was the condition on which subscriptions would be asked for.
 Secretly, a great nsany thought it would be almost impossible to secure this amount in pledges and others who thought 1t might be secured were doubtful if all could be collected once 1t had been pledged. But the pledges for that amount were the first thing to get and those who were confident and enthusiastic purposed all the time to swell it to at least s70000, thus allow ing for those who might be unable to make good through interference with their plans. So the work began eleven days ago with but four men at the helm planning the campaign and in- teresting their friends. Then the is- sue was placed before the people and the soliciting committees were organ iZed, numbering one hundred in their personnel. The ladies were interested and the monday luncheon and report was made a feature. The first days work was a flattering one and with it came assurances from one and another in unexpected quarters until the work CTS were satisfied the $60, 1000 mark would be easily passed, and though still clinging to the original condition all resolved that they would never stop at that The conditional subscrip- ton of Mir Bartlett of s25o0 when SGT, 500 was reached, was an inspira- tion. It made better work from the start. Then he added a like amount conditioned on the pledging of S10,000 more. and finally his offer of S5.000 more if $95,G00 should be reached From that good hour s100.000 became the goal. It was not announced as necessary to secure that much or for felt the building. but pride, not only of the individual but of the entire citi- zenship was awakened and the $100,- 900 was the one idea always upper most in the minds of the solicitors
