Two Methods

The Ladies Home Journal breaks In
on the even tenor OF its grandmotherly
advice on impossible situations to
tell the following:
Two women glanced at tho clock In
a big railroad station: Number One,
fat, red.faced, breathless--evidently
late for her train--with slipping, I'M
manageable bundles and n V-sheped
wrinkle OF worry between her brows;
Number Two, placid, unhurried
traveller. whose packages seemed TO
stay OF themselves In the crook.of her
elbow.
The sight OF the clock affected them
differently. Painting and anxious, the
red face made for the stairs; clutching
up her skirt behind and tripping over
II In front as she clambered. out OF
view.
Number two stopped at the newspa
per stand, chose paper, deliberately
took the elevator, aud passed through
her train gate at composed and
steady pace. Half minute before the
starter called "All aboard she got In
to her car; cool and unruified she po'
litely asked sis this seat taken?"
The occupant could not answer at
once. What with heat and hurry and
III adjusted bundles she had not much
breath left for talking. She was the
red facet Number One! The pair
had been making for the same train!
Number Two had three minutes TO
catch IL and she used up those minutes
doing so quietly and In comfort.
Number One had the same three
minutes but she lost her head, grew
fussy Aalf killed herself 10 get there In
sixty seconds with two minutes 10
spare and season ticket for heart
failure.
Everybody has all the time there Is.
The only difference lies 10 the way we
use itl

SAY APPLES BRING MOTHS.
aermans Give Warning Against Keep
Ing the Fruit In Dwellings.

Germany has found peril In ap-
pies. They are the principal medium
for the propagation and spread OF
the destructive house moth (Glycy-
.phagns domesticus) according to OBJ
servations recently made. y ~ ,-is. 4
The discovery was the result Of q
plague OF moths at Cries and the viii
lagos surrounding II. The larvae were
traced to the stores Of apples kept In
the houses and thence to the trees
themselves.
The larvae are found first OF all In
The apple blossoms. AS the fruit grows
they cluster In the conical depression
about the stem OF the apple.
When the fruit is taken into the
house II Is laden with eggs. The
propagation OF the eggs is said to be
prodiglous.
When the fruit Is taken into the
house the eggs find their way into
clothing. hangings. carpets and uphol-
stored furniture and the insect Is
Matched out. with the wellknown ru-
nous results. The eggs are also said
to be the cause OF the white nothing
that is so often noticed on dried
fruit
AS result OF the discoveries II is
urged that apples never be taken into
dwellings without careful cleansing.
and even then they should never be
kept in living rooms, and the peelIngs
should be promptly removed.

The MIsehlevous Beaver.

The proyerb!al industry OF the
beaver is not highly appreciated Just
now by the lumbermen OF Maine. They
assert that they are losing heavily
this season through the damming OF
streams by this ingenious animal. The
ponds thus formed have flooded hun.
dreds OF acres OF timber land. making
a great deal Of valuable lumber quite
inaccessible. Ia other cases good log.
ging streams have been made useless
BY the diversion OF a large volume OF
water from the regular watershed to
other channels In which Il Is OF no
service. A demand will. therefore. be
made at the next session Of the state
legislature for the repeal Of the act
by which the beaver Is protected.

Single statehood for New Mexico appears to be an as sured fact. Governor Curry of that province has returned from his junketing trip down the Mississippi with the Pres ident," and assures his con stituents that the time Is ripe for New Mexico's admission into the Union as a single State. While discussing the matter with the Las Vegas Optic, the governor said;
 We must he able 10 go to Con gress without one dissenting voice While there Is iit-le doubt that we will come in ali right, l want to ieei that We have behind us every citizen of New Mexico After the enabling set Is passed, know we will have no trouble in adopting s consultation.
 Arizona will be pleased to see her sister Territory clothed in the becoming habiliments of Statehood; she possesses all the requisites for such an honor, and now that iresi- dent Roosevelt has receded from his position as regards joint statehood, all opposition 10 the admission of Arizona and New Mexico as two sep arate and distinct States should vanish.
 The PRosPECToR believes that New Mexico has an eX- cellent show of becoming q state. and for the same req sons that would entltle that commonwealth to such de- stinction will apply with equaI force to Arizona; and were il not through fear tha' Vt might be considered jealous superiority over our neighbol would be claimed. But Ari l0na is generous; she will not knock" friend, abidins by the declaration to 'foreve remain 3 territory rather thai accede to joint statehood. At any rate, We hope succes for New Mexico: she is euti tied to the prefernent sough at the pleasure of Congress

 The eight associations in Tucson, consisting of four persons each, that entered several sections of coal land in Navajo county last yea, got to- gether last week and decided that the best way to deve'op their respective claims would be to hire number of miners together and send them over to stay until coal was developed on all entries.

.rMany samples of rock and minerals are sent 10 the United States Geological Survey for examination or analysIs, and as a rule visual examinations of these are made and the re- suits brief repor ed to the persons sending the speci- mems. Chemical analysis of rocks, ores or minerals re- ceIved in this way are Dot made, however, unless the specimens appear to be of pc culiar scientific interest. Anal ysis for purely commercial purposes or in strictly prival interests must be Ob aimed from the commercial chem ists, says the Denver Dai

 The energies of the chem ical laboratory of the surve, are devoted to examinatiOi needed in connection wit the official work of the ge To gists, and to comply with a. the outside requests receiyed would manifestly be mp sible as well as undesirable.

Obscene Cards to be
 Held From the Mails

The prevalence of the souvenir post al card fad not only in the United States, but in the countries Of Europe has led to the sending of much doubt iul matter through the United states mails, and judging from the late &C., tion in the department ofsevsrsl cities, will be the csuse of perhaps q fine oi considerable proportions or term in jail.
 IL seems that because of the great extent to which the fad has grown people have become careless and ID many in tsnc pictures or reading matter which is nothing il not obscene have been mailed, no name being signed and the sender relying on the difficulty of obtaining direct evidence in such a case to protect him from th' consequences. Lately the department at Washington has taken particular notice of the matter and issu | stric instructions to postmasters through out the country to prevent the trans. mission of such matter aud wher possible to secure evidence sgsinstth' l sender.
