KISSING DAY AT AvNeEaroRp.
Curious old-Time Custom Which Still
 Prevails in an English Village.

The little town of Hungerford was recently the scene of the quaint cele- bration of Hocktide
 The property of the manor, which comprises a valuable trout fishery, has lately come within the purview of the charity commissioners, who have es- tablished scheme for the future ad- ministration by popular trustees, but with the proviso that the holdings of the manorial court, with its pictur. esque old world customs, should be allowed to continue.
 The functions began with a series of blasts on the historic horn, and then the tutti men, armed with slaves, set forth on their perambula ions, their duty being to demand a penny from every male householder and a kiss from each lady who crossed their path. As rule the privilege. is granted with much good humor. and husbands look on with equenimty.
 Meanwhile the Hocktide jury were sitting in solemn conclave, appointing the constable and coroner and othe'. ancient officers whose duties are more or less obsolete.-London Standard.

Women rouuher Sex.

Although men. as they run, are, perhaps, muscularly stronger than women, their inability to withstand the elements and their reliance upon clothes places them considerably be- tow the so-called weaker sex in the matter of unclothed toughness W9m- en wear clothes for ornament; men use them as protective covering. A group of men. marooned clothesless on an island in the temperate zone, might be expected to die ofr in a month from drafts and colds and rheumatism. The health of women similarly placed would suffer little from exposure. The fact appears to be. therefore, that in everything but muscle-in vitality, ruggedness, char acter, disposition, brain power, e,c- woman is the tougher, not the weaker, sex.

A Chance to Buy 2 pscoda.

In the year TO A. D. the Emperor Koken caused million pagodas to be made. They were little objects of wood, only four and a half inches high. Into each was inserted a tiny scroll with verse of the Sutras in- scribed thereon, and the whole mum Der were then handed over to the temple Horyuji at Nara. In the course of centuries these relics grad ually became dispersed or were de- stroyed by fire, until only 5000 re- mained, and the ancient temple, be- ing now in financial straits, offers one of these pagodas with It's inclcsure to any person sufficiently chari able to subscribe 35 yen.--Japan Weekly Mall

WHITE ISLAND.
One af New Zealand Group Alwsys
 Enveloped in Clouds of Steam.

White island derives its name from the clouds of white steam in which it appears to be continually enveloped. It's area is only 600 acres and it's height about sS0 feet above sea level.
 In form and color it is like a re- posing camel, while its interior, with its gray, weather-beaten, almost per pendicular cliffs, recalls the Coliseum at Rome. Overhanging the southern landing place stands column of rock closely resembling a sentinel, which has been dedicated to the memory of Capt. Cook. The water of the Island is of pale green hue, and anything dipped into it becomes red brick color. The fumes of sulphur are al ways plainly perceptible
 On fine moonlight night wonder. ful sight is afforded to anyone who will sit in an open boat in one of the lakes of the island. Covering an area of 50 acres is an immense cal dron. hissing and snorting and send ing forth volumes of poisonous steam, while all chances of egress appear to be denied by the steep, silent and gloomy cliffs.

Color. and Heat.

Some people add to the heat of the day by the clothes they wear" an- nounced the woman observer, By their lack of taste they make it worse for others as well as themselves. One recent hot day saw woman In a black dress and red hat. The dress was thin and the hat light, but the colors on a broiling day prove too strong for me and I was immed .Cely driven to a soda fountain for re- covery."

FOREST SERVICE NEWS
Weekly Compendium of Events Con- nected With the National Forest
 Reserves of Arizona.

Lumberman D. M. Lang arrived here Sunday and has been assigned to J. H. Allison's cruising party. He came in from the north where he has been doing timber work on the Indian reservations.
 Forest Agent Harry Pooler has been assigned to timber work here under ]. H. Allison and reported for duty Monday.
 A meeting of stockmen has been set by Forest Superervisor Pooler for October oth, at which time the applications for sheep and grazing permits on the Grand Canyon for est will be taken up for the com ing year.
 Forest Supervisor Pooler will leave Monday on a three weeks trip south on the forest, making his annual grazing inspection. During his absence w. A. Drake will have charge of the office.
 Inspector T. $. Woolsey, IT,, has returned to Albuquerque from a two months tour of duty in the Washington office.
 Rangers L. E.. Johnson, Robert Moak, Thos. F. Wells and Ed Gillie have been assigned the job of gathering up 500 pounds of pine seed at the Greenlaw cutting and are having pleasant time pounding up the cones.
 Ranger Ed Gillie had the mis- fortune to seriously injure his right foot last week with an adz while hewing logs for improve ment on Mormon lake ranger station. It will be some time be- fore he is able fyr duty again.
 Forest Assistant Kobbe was at Fort Valley this week assisting in putting up a 90 foot flag pole at the experimental station at that place.
 The Arizona Lumber and Tim Der Go. will commence cutting timber on government land this week The timber is near Rogers lake and was purchased of the Forest Service two years ago. Ranger w. A. Phelps of Maine has been assigned to the sale in charge of woods work and scaling.
 Ranger w. A. Phelps has com pleted a new addition to his ranger quarters at Maine and has painted the buildings. He now has a very neat country residence.
 The ninety million foot timber sale to the Greenlaw Lumber Go. was cut to sixty-two million, and it is understood that operations will commence at the Cliffs again before long.

Department of Agriculture, the Bureau of Plant Industry of the De- partment of Agriculture, the Re clamation Service of the Interior Department, and the Water Re sources Branch of the Geological Survey of the Interior Department.
 In order to carry out this plan of cooperation. the Chief of Bureau has devised a system of organiza- ion for making the observations, the distribution and installation of the instruments and apparatus. the collection of the reports. the com putation and discussion of the data, and the publication of the re- suit for the use of the co-opera- ting bureaus and the public gener- ally. The Weather Bureau will furnish the (a) rain gages and snow apparatus for the mountain stations at high attitudes; (b) the evaporation pans. thermometers. psychrometers, anemometers. wind vanes, water gages, and other ne- cessary apparatus for eva poration studies; Co the self-registering instruments and other apparatus of a refined order. required strict ly for the scientific problems on the action of forests upon water resources, besides the ordinary in- struments mentioned, for a limited number of stations of the Forest Reserve, but only when continu- ously in charge of an approved me- teorologist; (d) the thermometers, psychrometers. and evaporation instruments. and such other ap- paratus as may be necessary for testing the availability of certain localities. limited in area. for the growth of special valuable plants.
 In view of the difficulty of ob- taining reliable records of the daily amounts of rain and snow fall at the higher elevations. the Chief of Bureau has decided to create special class of observers for this purpose, to be designated as mountain rainfall observers. These records must be accurately and continuously kept to be of any value in meteorology. Un- less the prospect for fairly long series of observations at a sta tion is good it will be undesir- able to establish the station. Af- ter such stations have been estab- lished, and it is found that tenn perature readings can be provided for without too much inconvenience and expense for the installation of instruments, action may be taken to that end.
 Prof. Frank c. Bigelow, profes- sor of meterology of the U. s. Weather Bureau, gentleman with an international reputation in the work was in Flagstaff Sat urday. He has been looking over different sites in the United States for the purpose of locating six large stations. Here he visited the proposed combination silvic and climatological station at Ft. Valley. From Prof. Bigelow it was learned that a vastly impor- tant station was to be established at Fort Valley at an annual ex- penditure of between $30. GOO and $40, 900 a year. In speaking of this location Prof. Bigelow re- marked that this was the finest and prettiest pine forest he had seen, that there seemed the very best opportunity in this locality for a thorough study of climatic con ditions because of the great vari- ety in short distances.
 A station of this kind in the viz cinity of Flagstaff will be of great and value to the town and it is hoped that the plans now under preparation will go through.
