 Los Angeles newspapers of Mon- day note the death in that city on Sunday last of Mrs. Margarita Monteyerde, wife of Mir. F. E Monteverde. It is thought by friends here that the deceased is Mrs. FIorencio E. Monteverde of Hermosillo, who has been residing in that city some time past, her husband being in business there.
 A prominent business man of Nogales, and a we'll known young gentleman who will associate with him, contemplate making a prop osition to purchase as speculation the ef1igy of San Francisco, at Magdalena. They say they would pay willing the sum of $50,000 for the saint, and they believe it would be very profitable investment.

Bo ard of Trade.

The Board of Trade held its reg ular weekly meeting on Tuesday evening, only five members being present, owing to the absence of several members from town.
 Because of the small attendance business in connection with the re- port of the finance committee as to the money needed to carry on an aggressive advertising campaign this winter was laid on the table until the next meeting.
 There being little routine busi- ness 10 transact, the board took the opportunity to discuss several lines of advertising in connection with publicity for Nogales and Santa Cruz county, and it was the unan- imous opinion that the rich agri cultural possibilities lying right at our very doors must be advertised and exploited, and home seekers brought in to settle some of the thousands of acres of government land lying all around. In this connection the secretary called the attention of the board to a conver- sation which he heard a few days previously, the speaker, one of the men living near Fort Huachu- ca, having stated that settlers were coming in numbers at present and taking up these lands.
 One of the members of the board mentioned San Antonio, Texas, and the wonderful growth it is having, and, as is we'll known, San Antonio has not a tithe of the nat ural advantages of our own county. Men are hungry for land, and the board intends during the winter and coming spring to endeavor to lay the matter before the home seeker in such a way that these great stretches of fertile land will be settled up in the no distant future.

THE MAN OF CHEER.

We love the man with a smile, the
man with the roses on his tongue, the
man who sees your boys dirty face but
mentions his bright eyes, who notices
your shabby coat but praises your stu
dious habits, the man who sees all the
faults but whose tongue is quick to
praise and slow to blame. We like to
meet man whose smile will light up
dreariness, whose voice is full of the
music of the birds, whose hand-shake is
an inspiration, and his ''God bless you"
a benediction. He makes us forget our
troubles as the ravens dismal croak is
forgotten when the wood thrush or the
brown thrasher sings. God bless the
men of cheeri
There is plenty of trouble here, but
we need not increase it. There is q lot
of dying ahead of time. There are
living men, who have already crossed
Jordan two or three times, and, unfor-
tunately, they are not of the type who
"cross the river of Jordan happy IN the
Lord, " but who sing, if they sing at all,
dismallest, dreariest, deadiest music.
The very tone is fatal to happiness. If
you have faith, preach it; if you have
doubts, bury them. If you have Joy,
share it; if you have sorrow, bear it.
Find the bright side of things Gods
side-and help others to get sight of it
also. -Zion's Herald.

AGRICULTURAL HIGH SCHOOLS.

There was introduced at the last ses-
sion of Congress bill to appropriate
$S, 900, 900 annually for industrial educa-
cation in high schools of secondary grade.
1t is proposed in that bill to devote
about half of this sum to instruction in
mechanic arts and home economies in
city high schools and half to instruction
in agriculture and home economics in
agricultural high schools. There have
been established in various States be-
tween thirty and forty agricultural high
schools articulating with the rural schools
below and with the agricultural colleges
above. AS these schools return most of
their graduates to country life, they are
properly said to articulate with the farm
also. This bill would cause the States
to establish two or three hundred more
of these agricultural high schools, one
for each ten agricultural counties.
Numerous cities have established me-
chanic arts high schools, and others have
introduced mechanic arts and home &C.
onomics as elective studies into their
general high-school courses. From

"MAN'S lNHUMANlTY TO MAN"

The average man comes very near
being an idiot in taking care of himself.
You have seen him wearing fur cap
on his head while his shoes let in the
snow and water He wears an overcoat
on his back and nothing but thin shirt
over his chest. He is mighty scared
about freezing his fingers while his
throat is exposed to blizzards and he is
often ailing or thinks he is. It's herb tea,
root tonics, Peters pills, Pauls pine tar
cordials or plasters and cures, until the
balance wheel in the machine comes to
stop. Nature wants to keep going,
but she can't. He drinks whiskey and
that clogs the valves; he drinks beer
and that clogs the wheels; he pours
down lemonade, ginger ale, buttermilk
ice water, tea, coffee, and what not,
and then wonder why the fires under
the boiler do not burn. If you should
take an OK and put him through a like
performance he'd be dead in a year.
The simplest and plainest laws of health
are outraged every hour of the day by
the average man. Did Adam smoke?
Did Eve wear corsets? Did Solomon
chew tobacco? Did Ruth chew gum?
Did the children of Israel make for a
beer garden after crossing the Red Sea?
Did Rebecca eat gum drops and ice
cream and call for soda water? Adam
was the first and was made perfect from
A.. IT
main so after eating a mince pie before
goingito bed? Suppose he. had slept in
a bedroom 5x7 with the windows down,
the door shut and two dogs under the
bed? Suppose Eve had lacedherself up
in corset, put on tight shoes, sat up
all hours of the night eating her fill of
trash and sizzled her hair. When you
come to look at the way man mis-
behaves himself you can only wonder
he ever lived to get there. Cherokee

ments for help, read as follows !:

a curious advertisement? What should
we think of such an advertisement in
any other line of business? How would
an advertisement like this look?
"Wanted-A Barber, who has never
had his hair cut. Apply at the barber
shop on the corner" Or this? Wanted
"A Salesman in a shoe store. He
must go barefooted while on duty.

other business find it necessary or de-
sirable to advertise for help pledged
to make no use of the goods sold?

Its generally admitted that Egypt
was settled first by people of Asiatic
origin, and confirmation of this the
ory has been discovered in the graves
of Naga-ed- Der, in which MANY skele-
tons of the earliest period were found.
These were fortunately in perfect
condition, and afford splendid ana
tomical material for determining the
racial character of the prehistoric
people, which, ethnologists conclude,
was Asiatic and not Nubian. Even
the contents of the intestines were
so well preserved that it was DOS
sible to determine, not only the
food, but even the medicines which
were contained in them. The dis.
ease from which the person died
could be easily diagnosed. Many
