Easy Entertaining.

One woman who does her own work and yet likes to entertain a good deal has brought order out of chaos and made the work lighter for herself by limiting her dinner to three hot dishes. She serves first iced canta- loupe, grape fruit or oysters. accord ing to the season; then meat, pota' toes and one vegetable. Salad and dessert are prepared beforehand. and SO is the coffee. She serves all but the three hot dishes-which. of course must be brought from the kitchen from a small serving table at her side which has two shelves beneath it and an outstanding bracket shelf for the clean and used dishes. The coffee, Tn a French coffee pot, stands on one of the brackets of the serving table and boils merrily until required.

BEES MARK MANS COMING.
Wild Ones All Descended from Those Once Oomesticat

All the honey bees in this country having originally been imported from Europe or Aisa, there is no racial diff. ference between the wild ones and the domesticated; those that live in trees are simply the descendants of those that from time to time have taken
 French leave" from their owners hives and reverted to a state of na- ture. The vast bulk of the wild bees are Of the German or black race. while the standard domesticated bee Is the Italian; but that, however, Is only be- cause the Germans were the first to be introduced here. Just when the Germans came Is in doubt, but 1t was some time in the seventeenth centu. "; certainly it was not until near the close of the eighteenth century mat any bees were found west of the mississippi. The Indians used to say they could mark the advance of the white man by the appearance of bees m the woods. The Italian bees were nrst imported in 1860. Better temper ca and more industrious than the Ger mans, they have become popular with apiraists; but as many still keep the Herman bee. and others have the hy- orld formed by the crossing of the TWO races, while countless Italians now have taken to the woods, there to breed more hybrids, it is clear tlO mere is no sure way of distinguishing between the wild bee and the domesti- cated.-Outing Magazine

The Style in Clocks.

There are funny things about the clock business" said the salesman from Connecticut. "Nine-tenths of the clocks that I sold on my last trip were eight-day clocks. Everybody seems to have serious objections now adays to winding clocks. If l could provide customers with 30day clocks or 60-day clocks, without too much additional cost, they would prefer them. The demand for longdistance timepieces represents decided change in taste. A year or so ago everybody was clamoring for 24-hour clocks, on the ground that they kept better time Now. If l could put on the market some of those one-year and fve-year clocks that venturesome manufacturers turn out now and then as curiosities they would prove ready sellers"

Modern Turpentine Gathering.

Twenty million turpentine cups are used in the pine forests of the south to catch the flow of resin from the trees. and 100000 or S,000,000 are added each year. These simple-look- ing cups, which are not unlike flower pots in size and shape, indicate . rapid and highly important change in the American method of gathering turpentine, due to the need of econo- my in using all forest products and to the application of science in an old fashioned industry.

BITTEN BY A SKUNK

R. L. Nrill, forest ranger. was badly bitten ny skunk the first part of the week at the forest reserve camp, about two miles from this city.
 About 11:3O o'clock Monday morning Neill returned from work near the camp for the purpose of cooking dinner for himself and the sergeant in charge of the work, and wac in the act of reaching for an axe, with which to cut some wood for a fire, and which was lying on the ground near the steps of the bunk house, when skunk, con cealed under the steps. suddenly jumped out and bit him on the little finger of the right hand. the animal, with tenacitv of A bull. dog, holding onto Neill's finger until the ranger had raised him about two feet from the ground before it released it's teeth from the mans finger.
 Neill immediately notified S.r-. geant Mckay who, realizing the danger that lies in delay in such serious matter. advised Neill to mount his horse, go to Williams, and hoard the train for Chicago, to undergo treatment at the Pasteur institution. The sergeant quickly saddled their horses and together they galloped into town. Utmn their arrival here they called upon pr. Rounseville who. after ex- amining the wound and being in. formed of Neill's intention to go to Chicago, stated that it, was the best course to pursue, but gave him temporary relief by dressing the. finger. Neill left for Chicago on No. 4. Monday.
 Sergeant Mckay. during an in-l terview with q r-presentative If. the NEWS. stated that hs knew of several eases where parties had been bitten by skunks and dogs, and that although they thought nothing of it. at the time, even refusing medical attention and simply bandaging the wound, hydrophobia developed later on and the "wise" victims died as a result of their negligence.
 He also said that Pasteur's is an institution for the treatment of ctses that show symptoms of hydrophol,ia. that their remarkable cure are affected by hypodermic l infections of serum from the bodies of skunks. dogs and other animals into the patients. This institution has never lost a case, and has osi it's record of cases the names of some of the most prominent people in the world.

 No-Bail, Burke, Grossetta. D. Morgan, Whiteside, Williams-6.
 Hunt, of Gila, introduced the bill originally in the council. fixing the license at $1.0OO per year. When returned from the committee this was reduced to $500, to take effect on April 1. 1907, and in that form it passed the house today, having already passed the council, and is now ready for Governor Kibbey's signature.
 As shown by the committee recently appointed to investigate the asylum, that institution is well handled by Superintendent Ray Ferguson. There are 126 native and 143 foreign inmates. The committee recommends additions to the buildings costing $36.500, which it asks be made within the next two years. It cost $43.15547 to run the asylum in 1905, and $42.7S7 in 1906.
 Getting down to business the house passed c B. No 9, which fixes an affidavit as the best evidence of tabor performed on a mining claim, and that when claims are relocated work may he done in the same place as any previously done.
 c. B No 24. permitting Gila county to issue $25 GOO worth of bonds to complete it's court house was unanimously passed, as was H B. Nj. A, which provides that before brands are recorded it must first be learned that there is no similar brand in Mexico.

No. 5l, providing that one half an employees wages for thirty days preceding a garnishment shall be exempt if necessary to the support of his family.
 Several new bills were intro duced by house mbers this morn ing, several of which are of general interest and importance. They are ias follows:
 H. B No 125, by Bell. correct ing Jan error in the statutes.
 H B. No 126, by Day, changing the primary law to practically y whaR it was before the present law went in effect.

 This bill excited warm debate. Vhiteside and others contending that it fixes the location for. the prison. a matter he wanted left to the people of Yuma county.
 Under suspension of the rules the bill was advanced step by step to it's final passage. and when the vote was taken the bill passed ny vote of IS to 6 Mcintyre has similar bill in the council.
 H B. No. 13l by Burke. pro- viding for an Arizona display at the Alaska Yukon exposition in Seattle.
 H. B. No. 132, by Burke, mak ing the territorial fair d permanent institution, and fixing an appro priation of $15. 900 annually for it's mair tainance.
 After some discussion over a b.ll by Williams to impound the waters of Arizona rivers, the house adjourned to 10 o'clock tomorrow morning when Williams threatened to talk for three hours on his bill. The council was not in session this morning.
 The Third House" was at the bat good and strong Saturday afternoon. The house met in com miltee of the whole to give the lobbyists a chance to talk about the Bright Angel trail contest, which every one in Coconino county knows about. and which every one in Arizona ought to know about by this time.
 Henry F. Ashurst was one of the speakers and he certainly said some warm things. Ashurst is in favor of the Santa Fe in the fight. and he proceeded to give history of the Bright Angel trail case and also some interesting information about politics in Coconino county His assistant. MT. Flynn, also spoke on the subject. and while he may not have the oratorical powers nf Ashurst he succeeded in stirring up as much stink. He made a remark that was construed by | Chairman Gregg. of the Coconino county board of supervisors as an insinuation that he was not honest Flynn was occupying seat ln the galleries. Gregg arose to remark in diplomatic language that Flynn 1 lied The talk bout the bill did not have much weight. and when | Counsel Norton. of the Santa Fe railroad. appeared to speak against the bill 1t did not swell the average of the bill any, for those in the galleries and on the second floor knew that the Santa Fe wouldn't be sending it's attorney down here to talk against that bill just for good old Coconino county's sake
 Ashurst argued that his stand on the proposition was that Coconinu county should have possession of the trail No one here has been heard hy your correspondent to question the motives of Ashurst, though they may do so, butlfhere are very few who believe for a minute that the defeat of the bill would do any one any good but the Santa Fe railway.
 Monday there was more railroad legislation in the house. That is there was more throwing of cold water on railroad legislation. The house has evidently undergone a change of sentiment since passing the rate bill. for it, to-day, sat upon 1 Bells railroad commission bill.
 Bailey played dirty trick on Bell. Bell sshad one of his famous long winded speeches ready to un- load on the legislature when the matter came upon a report of the committee. The report contained majority recommendation that the bill do pass, and the minority y recommendation that it do not

Such motion being undebatah hle Bell was gagged and it was carried. How ever Bell was not be downed, and during the afternoon when the railroad freight bill came up before the committee of the whole Bell in his famed style. proceeded to pour broadsides into, the corpora tions. Bell is certainly for the people.
 In addition to disposing of the railroad commission bill the house tabled the bill reducing the ranger force to thirteen members, as the bill was agreed upon several days ago. Bailey moved that it be tabled, and by the same vote practically. the railroad commission bill received it's quietus, the pro posed reduction of the ranger force was laid on the shelf.
 Burke today introduced a reso lu'ion providing that Governor Kidney shall appoint two com missioners to the Alaska Yukon exposition. action on which was postponed one legislative day.
 But one new bill was introduced in the house. that being H. B. No 147, by Davidson. providing for the transfer of distribution of comunity property held by husband and wife
 H B. No 1O5, which was drawn by Ralph Cameron, amended by Attorney Norton and approved by District Attorney Ashurst, affecting toll road matter in Mnhave county, was passed. It permits the transfer of toll road to the Santa Fe railroad.
 The substitute for H. B. No. AS. giving the attorney general salary of $3.OOO- per year and expenses amounting to $1.OOO was passed with only Pace voting in the negative.
 H. B. No. 24, providing for the collection of fees by county record CTS was passed.
 Neither house will be in session tomorrow morning, both adjourn ing this afternoon until 1:3O to morraw. During the forenoon the two houses will visit the Tempe Normal school.
