ESTATES ENTATL.D.

"The lands all over England, Ire
land, Scotland and Wales are prInc.-
psliy entailed estates, which descend
from the father to the eldest son, and
are largely held in tracts of from six to
If thousand acres. The father can't
sell the land, because he has only life
estate, and when it descends to the
son, who pays large Inheritance tax;
aud it ia not infrequent Sto .tindlone
man hoI1ihg, 1nder the English sys-
tenn, thirty thousand acres as fertile
and productive as The lands in the

land they reise sheep ''and keep deer

they should rai:e and grow strong

Athletics in
 The City Schools

The Tombstone grammar school boys are rejoicing over the arrival of their basepa suits and are imps- tient to don tn. m for s game with some rival team ERorts to secure A game have resulted in arrangements to play the Pesrce school team on the lsth, and possib.y on two successive dates.
 But baseball has been sidetrs cked for the present in the interest of the inter sc cholsstic field meet to oe held at Douglas next Saturday. Our schools expect to send representatives to participate in the followings events Fifty and 100 yard dsshes; 230 and and s4O-ysrd runs. and quarter and hslfmile relay rs'es; running broad jump; running high jump; pole vault and shot put. The representatives as ct present determined are Eddie Sim mons, Victor Corbett, Rinsido Miano. Percy Bosden, Frank Sparks, Filo- memo Gslvez, Walter Yoho. Jesse San ders, Walter Lombardy and America Pistonetti.
 It is the purpose of the school au- thorities to make the athletic sp,rts of v.risus kinds, baseball, field sports tennis, basketball, etc, conducive to the making of men, not "sports. To this end, only manly conduct and senteel conver.ation -ill be tolerated No Sunday games. no profanity, no dissipation, LOT will smoking or chew. ing tobacco he countenanced by the athlet teams.
 The idea prevails that clean, whole some games are better for the hoy. than lettering on street corners or around questionable places of resort that mutual ependence and respect are cultivated in the team work, and that self-restraint, self.control and self respect are stimulated. Individ- uality and selfsbness exchange places, the latter yielding to the former and the former teing subordinated 70 the element of plurality found in all well trained teams. The individual play. CTS come to realize q certain re. ponsi- tility that rests upon them for the part they asi dividusls contribute to the success of the whole team. With this mutual relation we'll developed in athletic sports, the boys grow into men who count with the fellows in the making of history for their coun- try.

Habit-forming Medicines.

Whatever nay be the fact as to many of the so-caiied patent medicines con taining injurious ingredients as broadly published in some journals of more or less influence. this publicity has certainly been Of great benefit in arousing needed attention to this subject, I, has, in . considerable measure, resulted tn the most intelligent people avoiding such foods and me iieines as may bs fairly sus- pected of containing the injurious tngre- fact some time ago, Dr. Pierce. Of Buffalo, N. Y., -took time by the foreiock,- as 1t were. and published broadcast all the ingredients of which his popular medi- cines are com posed. Thus he has com pleteiy forestailed all harping critics and all opposition that might otherwise be urged against his medicines. because they are now OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. Fur thermore. from the formula printed on every bottle wrapper, it will be seen that these n,e,iicin., contain no alcohol or other habit-forming drugs. Neither do they contain any narcotics or injurious agents. their ingredients being purely vegetable, extracted from the roots Of medicinal plants found growing ia the depths Of our American forests snd Of well recognized curative virtues.
 Instead of alcohol. which even in small portions long continued. us in obstinate eases of diseases, becomes highly obiec- tionable from it's tendency to proflce craving for stinulants.

A shaft sunk on lead has given him much encouragement. and yesterday at depth of 5 feet he states that he encountered me small pock- cts of rich gold ore, samples of which are literally sprinkled sitn the yell ioa metal and would assay into the thousands.
 Several samples seen about town ca, sed much comment. and many claims in the vicinity of the strike have been located.

The late decision of the trustees of the John Hopkins University, to admit women to a graduate course of study making them elig ble for the degree of doctor of philosophy, marks an advance in the pro gress of higher education and is a formal admission of wO- mans equal mental capacity with mans.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local app icatIons, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ar There is only one way to cure deafness and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused ny an unframed con. dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed you have a rumbiing sound or imperfect hearing, and when It is entire ly closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the nmstion can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will he de- stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Cstsrrh, wtich is noth- ing but an iDfisned condition of the mucuous surfaces.

 Indian with the English name of Dora Dorchester, with whom he had been
 living, was also arrested. QuIlllsm
 was remanded to jail, but Dora Dor chester was allowed to so with the understanding that sine should appear when wanted.
 Though the Apaches are regarded as pretty chaste race of Indians, their ideas of the marriage relations are quite d,ffereus from those of Mir.

TERMS or SUBSCRIPTION

Never in the history of ed
 ucation was there such a frenzy among the educators to add courses of study in the public schools as today. That has had the natural effect of physical and mental injury to childhood which it is now the desire to overcome. Ed ucators have found that little bodies and little brains suc- cumb to the strain the theo- rists have put upon them and the rublic school gymnasium is the result. Children instinct lively resort to the kind Of physical exercise best suit d to them if they are allowed to play out in the open air. This is the very best bodily train ing they can have. 1.-the modern educators would not require so much home study of the children the latter would not need physical culture dur ing school hours. But this appears to be entirely over looked in present day systems.
