Elbow Sleeves.

A good many girls wear the fash
ionable sleeves without the slightest
regard for the suitability of their
hands and arms to the short sleeve.
Some time ago girl whose hands
were very coarse looking and whose
arms and elbows were a bric-red hue
persisted in wearing the shortest of
sleeves in spite of her mothers as
surance that the style was not be-
coming. This drew upon her the I'M
kind but pointed remark of sarcas-
tic cousin, who observed that it was
not surprising thatAnnie's arms were
red, as no doubt they were blushing
for the uncared-for state of her hands.

beginning of the Corset.

The origin of the much abused cor
set-abused in one sense by many
physicians and in others by many
women-dates as far back as the APP
odesme, strophium or. IONA of the
Greeks, and the fascia, ceinture, ces-
tus or malillare of the Romans. OF
course corsets, properly thus termed,
were unknown to the ancient Romans
and Greeks, but even in those days
women saw the necessity of folds or
bands for supporting the figure, es-
pecially after maternity. The cein-
lures of that period were made of a
dozen yards of wide linen that were
swathed about the figure from hips
to shoulders, and this was often
beautifully ornamented.
The original cestus was band of
skin placed about the hips. over
which the tunic was pouched, or it
was placed below the bust to raise 1t.
The cingulam, another device, was
narrower, while the IONA was wider
than the cestus.
England with the Norman women, as
the Anglo-Saxons wore gowns like
cloaks and showed no waist line.
The Norman women, on the con-
trary, CARRIED themselves in hides
laced with leather thongs, and these
were followed in later years with
stuff girdles having busks of wood Oh
metal, and then came iron corsets.

Princess Mary's Education.

The Princess of Wales has great
idea that girls should have every ad-
vantage of modern education, and, so
1t is rumored, she is seriously con-
sidering the advisability of sending
her little daughter to school.
Princess Mary, who is clever lit
tie needlewoman and is already very
we'll advanced In her studies for a
child Of her age, would undoubtedly
find lessons" far more interesting If
she had classmates of her own age
to compete with. 1t is therefore by
no means unlikely that she will be
sent to school, says Home Notes.
OF course, in that case she would
have her private suite of rooms and

The copper era., 1908-05-21

N. L. Amster, president of the shannon Copper company, was quoted recently as saying: "At the shannon property we are still making Improvements to the plant. We are now putting in two new water jacket settlers which we believe will save three or four pounds of copper per ton of slag. This saving is quite an item. It is only one of the numerous improvements we have made to effect reductions in the cost of our copper. The Shannon Copper company should produce in the neighborhood of 20,- 0O0,000 pounds of copper this year, at a cost of around Il cents. Our ore reserves are as large as ever. We have recently been making a thor ough investigation as to the approxi- mate ore tonnage in sight on Shan non hill. From the figures obtained we estimate that we have 3,00G,00O tC 4,OO0, 900 tons of ore of all grades ir sight. We are now able to treat successfully a much lower grade oi ore than ever before."

Arizona Schools Best in Country.

The following interview with Dele gate Mark Smith is from the Wash ington Post:
 'The common school system of Ari- zona is the best in the United States, even if Arizona is only a territory" said Delegate Marcus A. Smith at the Occidental, who has represented that territory for twenty years cOnssecu- lively.
 "Our system is compulsory, and I think it is a wise one. It is wise for the reason that the intelligent citi- zen will not be offended by law com polling him to educate his children, and the careless, improvident parent might let his children lose the oppor- tunity afforded by the territory.
 "As matter of pride we pay our teachers well, and so we get the best. Statistics show Arizona has propor- tionately less illiteracy among white people than any other state or terri tory. We pay the highest school tax and give greater attention to the technical part of school matters than some of our proudest old states.
 ''The great drawback to settlement that every territory has had, is that people are timid about settling in a territory, preferriHg to live in a state.
 ''We have something that few peo- pie have heard about. We have what is called dry farming This does not mean that we can raise a crop without water but the seasons being generally dry, the farmer chooses q product that can sprout, grow and mature in a given time, and the dry farmer gets in his work in the rainy season.
 "But the time will come when we will have all the rain we want. The solution of this problem rests with the agricultural and meteorological de partment of the government. The planting of trees, the boring of ar. tesian wells, in other words, the pro auction ot d moist surface of the ground will invite precipitation. Al such difficulties can be overcome by science and common sense.'
