FELLOW SUFFERERS.

Each Had Throat Trouble Just Like the Other.
 As the commuter who always board. ed the train at Paradise Hills seated himself he was conscious that the young man next him looked at him with some curiosity as they exchanged good mornings. For the frst few min utes neither one spoke; then the young man broke the ice. You have a deli cate throat, I see" he said commis- eratingly. ''I used to be bothered that way myself"
 The commuter hesitated. There was something about his seat mate which invited confidence.
 Fave you been married long?' he asked, with apparent irrelevance.
 Not so very" admitted the young man. Why"
 The commuter cautiously loosened the bandage round his throat and, turning toward ais companion, display ed an absurd looking, polka dotted tie.
 We've been married less than a year" he muttered, "and she gave me six for my birthday" ?.
 The hand of his seat mate grasped his in a cordial, sympathetic grip.
 q thought so,'' he said. Its only a year since I had my attack of throat trouble. e."-Youth's Companion.

BURGLARS ROB
 MESA OFFICE OF NJ. &P. ROAD
Nitro -GIyCerine Used To Blow Open Safe From Which Small Amount of Money and Papers Are Taken.

PHOENIX, Jan. 2.-With nitro glycerine the safe of the Maricopa & Phoenix depot in Mesa was blown open last night at Il o'clock and $50 together with private papers of Sta tion Agent H. H. Heatson, taken.
 On suspicion of being the parties who committed the robberies in Phoe- nix Monday night and in Mesa last night, City Marshal Moore has two suspects now in the city jail whom he is putting through the sweating" process.
 One of the men was arrested last night before the Mesa robbery, and the other this morning. The one ar rested today is believed to have been in Mesa last night. He has been un. able to satisfactorily answer ques- tiOns put to him.
 Making a trough of soap At the crack where the upper P2ri of the door Tits into the safe, the robbers poured nitro-glycerine into the crack. They made three attempts before the explosion occurred.
 The force of the explosion was such as to tear the door from its hinges. hurl it part way across the room and scatter the contents of the safe about the place. The safe was practically ruined.
 The robbery was discovered at F o'clock last night by a train crew which stopped at the Mesa station and found the door open. Entering, they saw the wreck and lost no time | making a report.
 That the robbery occurred about II o'clock is established by the informa- l tion obtained from a man residing 1 near the depot. As soon as he learn ed this morn1lg that there had been a robbery, he notified the officers that 1 he had heard a loud report about Il o'clock last night, but paid no atten- | ton to it, supposing that someone was | celebrating.
 City Marshal Moore went to Mesa | this morning, hoping to pick up fur. | ther clews. He states that the eVi- | dence against the men in custody is not yet sufficient to warrant the as
 sertion that they are proDably the | right men.

SARABIA IS
 ARRESTED IN
 LOS ANGELES
Man Kidnapped From Douglas Some Months Ago, Now Charged With Conspiracy Against Government.

PHOENIXX, Jan. 2.-Fallen from the pedestal on which he was placed following his being Kidnapped from Douglas to Hermosillo, and returned to Arizona by Ranger Captain Harry Wheeler last September, Manuel Sa- rabia now faces the charge of com pEcity in the operations of the St. Louis and Douglas revolutionary jun tas.
 Sarabia was arrested in Los An geles yesterday on an indictment re- turned against him in Tombstone, De cember 2S, United States Attorney Alexander last night receiving 9 tel egram from Los Angeles, announcing the arrest oS Sarabia.
 In the same bunch of indictments returned against Magon, Rivera and Viliareal at Tombstone, appears the name of Sarabia, whom the federal authorities believe was almost, if not quite, as active as these three alleged agitators against the peace of Presi- dent Diaz, and the overthrow of his government.
 Few events in Arizona have attract. ed the attention that has centered about Sarabia, when he was placed in an automobile in Douglas, under the orders of Mexican Consul Maza, and spirited across the Mexican line to Agua Prieta from where he was se- cretly taken to HermOsillo.
 So loud was the howl made by the Douglas people that the Mexican gov ernment gladly turned Sarabia over to Captain Wheeler and Public Ex- aminer Foster at Hermosillo. Though not as the official represepntatives of Governor Kibbey Wheeler and Eos ter were recognized as such.
 Upon returning to Arizona, Sarabia called on Attorney Alexander and was told that as long as he held alOo' from the revolutionary movement he would not be molested. But since thai time he has been actively engaged iI fomenting sentiment against Mexico in Texas and Arizona. Attorney Alex ander is in possession of letters he has written, both before and since his kidnapping at Douglas. Sarabia will be brought to Tombstone for trial.

Blowing the Nose.

Medical experts are calling the atten- ton of the public to the importance of performing the nose blowing operation in a scientific and hygienic manner. First one nostriI and then the other should be blown without undue vio- lence. Doctors state that the two nasal passages should never be closed at the same time. If they are obstructed, as in the case of cold, the back of the throat is filled with compressed air, and this. together with the discharge and the microbes which 1t contains, may be driven through the eustachiaI tube into the middle ear and lead to serious results. A great authority on the subject used to forbid his patients to blow their noses when suffering from cold. The course is hardly one which will commend itself to those in the habit of catching colds. The best advice would seem to be that when it is necessary to blow the nose blowing should be done genly.-London Mail.

ANCIENT BOWS.
That of the seythisns Was In the Forn,
 of the Letter C.

That of the Seythisns Was In the Form
 of the Letter C.
 While universally used by the an cients, the form of the bow varied with different nations. The Scythian bow was in the form of tbe letter c, and the bow of the Tartars, descendants of the Scythians, still keeps that shape.
 The Greek bow was not more than three or four feet in length, but SC erable strength and skill to use it. Ii Is said that the first Greek bows were made from the horns of a species of goat, the bases being united by means of a metallic band Afterward other material was used in their manufac- ture, but they still retained their orig, inal shape. These bows were too short to be of much use, and, compara- lively speaking, but a small portion of the troops were armed with them
 The Romans carried the bow to Brit. ain, where it at once obtained favor and during the middle ages was eX- tenslyely used, forming an important element of the armies of that period.
 The English archers were said to ibe the finest in the world, and their skill decided the battles of CIeecy, Poitiers and Agincourt. The bows used were of two kinds-the long bow and the arbalest, or crossbow. The arbaIest was made of steel or horn and was of such strength and stiffness that it was necessary to use some mechanical ap pliance to bend it and adjust the string. The arbalestiers carried g quiver with fifty arrows and were placed in the van of the battle.
