Instinct In Plants.

Climbing plants have two opposing methods of describing spiral growth The plants that turn to the right in the northern hemisphere reverse this trend in the southern hemisphere, and therefore, for the sake of consistency 1t may be preferable to describe the two kinds of spiral tendency as re spectively "elockwLse" and "counte, clockwise" which latter can be short ened to "counterwise."

The people of Belgium are more furious at King L. Leopold than they have eyer been before because of what they consider gross lack of deli iacy on his part
 The gynophile king has just taken up his summer residence at the Ciers- non castle, near Namur, which belongs to the Belgian nation and was the res idence of the late queen.
 The king, however, has Aot hesitated to take his latest mistress Baroness Vaughan and the two children born to them with him to live there. It is felt that the king exceeds the bounds of decency in allowing the baroness to reside at Ciergnon as the guest of the Belgium nation and threats are made that if she does not leave of her own accord she will be driven out of the country altogether.

Special Cable to the Graphic by Raoul de Saint Rene from the Hearst News Service.)
 Paris, July 18.-Demoeratic, though we French people generally are com plaints are often heard now that the President F'alieres, is rather too much of a good thing and that the social gatherings in the Palais Elysees es- pecally when foreign monarchs offl- clally visit France are too bourgeois and apt to make France ridiculous in the eye of the world.
 No one objects to the simplicity of the presidential family in their homes, but We bitterly complain that the 'fetes' in the Palais Elysees remind too much of anpretentious lawn par ties

She dress es as you may see the wife of the postmaster of any provincial town dress when she goes to mass on Sun day and her whole life is typefied by her costume.
 When Armand Fallieres became the president of France, the first that his wife did was to dismiss the elderly gentlemen who presided over the presidential cuisine and give his job to an old woman cook from her own ..ative town Sine aas , good deal lneapef and she kHew what the pres 4dent liked and Mme.

BAND ORGANIZED.

Professor and Mrs. T. B. Alden spent yesterday in Mesa. The mission of Mir Alden was to meet with the To- cal musicians for the purpose of form ing a band for Mesa. A partial organ ization was recently effected under the leadership of Professor Mitchell, but the latter left town and the musicians have since been up against it. Prof Alden appears to be thoroughly fa- miliar with all the kinks of the mu- sical business and believes that he can build up a first class band with the excellent material he has in Mesa. A meeting was held at the town hall yes terday afternoon and preliminary or ganization effected. Another meeting will be held Sunday at which time it is expected to launch the new Organi- zation. In the interval all the musi- clans who can "blow some" and have instruments, are invited to join the band.

Uric acid is a deadly poison that IS produced in the human body, and it is the duty of the kidneys to collect this poison from the blood, and to pass it safely out of the system, together with all waste water.
 It is the presence in the body of an excess of uric acid that causes so much pain and suffering, and so many of the aches that are commonly at tributed to rheumatism.
 The kidneys are bean-shaped or gans, composed of masses of little tubes. all of which pour their secre- tions into a main channel that leads to the bladder. In this way the kid neys pass off more than an ounce of poison every day when in health.
 But it does not take much to set the kidneys back. and when they get behind, they can not right themselves without help. The uric acid begins to clog the kidneys, causing that dull, heavy aching in the back, and sharp twinges when stepping or lifting. It crystallizes in the muscles and joints, and every turn or twist brings keen est torture. It attacks the nerves with neuralgia and sciatica. It brings head ache, dizziness, languOr, and disorders of the urine

THE NEW PRESS.

South side readers of The Republican will profit by the acquisition of the papers new press and those connect ed with the paper have much reason to be glad of the change. The Tempe carrier especially is gratified for it means that it will seldom be necessary for him to stuff three or four hun dred papers before daylight of morn ings before starting out on the route. The paper now coming in one section instead of two is a great advantage in many ways. Formerly it frequently happened that the track machine car rier made a miscount and did not get enough of one or the other section of the paper and as a result some sub scribers on the rural routes gOS only half a paper. In the future, thanks to the new press, these unpleasant fea- lures will he obviated.

The board has decided that when the school has a thoroughly de- sirable and competent teacher. who has learned the temperaments of the children, and can successfully handle them, it is worth something to keep that teacher. Hence the policy of in creasing the salary as a premium for the teacher to remain in Mesa.

Many times I was unable to stOop over. and could not arise from a chair without taking hold of some thing for support.
