HUNTER BAGS OZONE
 AND MARY MUD-HENS
RosenfeIdt Wanted Fresh Air and Sport and Found
 Plenty Of Both,

PHOENIX, Jan. BOA three cor nered hunting party which was com posed of S. l.. Easteriing, H. E. Mol Toy and Harry Rosenfeldt, returned yesterday from the duck shooting ore serves of the Represito club a few miles west of Florence. They brought back fine catch of most everything from la grippe to canvas back jack rabbits, but mostly mud hens. They had just ducks enough to pay for the trouble and enough fun on the side to declare a big dividend.
 Mir. Rosenfeldt is credited with pro viding the greatest sport, through his passion for fresh air. He staueu m advance that this Arizona fresh air was the most invigorating thing that he had yet found and he hoped he could get enough of it on the hunting trip. He only took along one little blanket and comfort for fear oT being smothered. When they retired that night in the club house at the lake he crawled under ais lone blanket after having opened the window alongside, to be sure he could have good circulation, the other gentlemen being tucked away under a wealth of blankets.
 After an hour or two had passed they noted Mir. Rosenfeldt stealthily closing the window and reminded him of his theory. A little later he arose as stealtaiiy and pulled on his trou- sers. Still later he was detected slip ping on his sweater and before day light ne had crawled into his jumper and rubber boots. Mir. Eeasterling said that the most fun though was the next day when Mir. Rosenfeldt made his big killing. He had warned the boys to be careful of their shells as they ware not over we'll supplied with them. They came upon him shooting to beat the band and were amazed to see the surface of the lake strewn with mud hens They called him off, not to save the mud hens, but the ammunition, for the mud hens aie not fit to eat and are too tame to make their slaughter sportsmanlike.
 It is also related that MT. Moiloy furnished some amusement of an aquatic nature. The shooting preserve is equipped very light metallic boats that slip out from under a per son very easily if he is not accustom ed to them and permits himself to lose his equilibrium, which Mir. Mol Joy did and he went overheard, all except one foot which hung in an oar lock. His pump gun went down in the mud and water, barrel first and was out of business, while MT. Molloy went down after the pump gun But he is too big to stay sub merged and presently floated back to the surface and was ffshed out with
 his hair full d blue mud.
 MT. Molloy for the sole purpose of making the record historically cor rect, volunteered the information that Mir. Rosenfeldt's wild slaughter of
 mud hens was due primarily to Mir. Easterling, who had himself at Mir. Molloy's suggestion bagged nice bunch of them before he got wise, and then gave Harry a bum steer, knowing he was a new man in the country.

SUE SCIENTIST
 FOR OLD TRACT

sation. with a representative of the Journal Miner, "the land was set aside for townsite purposes Tor the use and benefit of the inhabitants of the town. It adjoins the observatory ground, but is not occupied by any or the observatory buildings. Prof. Low ell is not an occupant of the land. under the spirit of the act, and it ap- pears to me that the great scientist is trying to acquire title in fee simple to land to which he has no legal right
 I yield to none in my respect, ad- miration, yea, even yeneration, for the science Of astronomy" went on Attorney Glowner, but the professor is not using this land in question for astronimical purposes, and besides, it is covered with mercantile timber valued ct some $5.000, winch the town of Flagstaff thinks 1t could use to good advantage. As a resident of Flagstaff, and realizing the great work Prof. Lowell is engaged in, l beliepe in do hating him and his observatory all the land needed, but, as 1 said before, do not believe this 75 acres would help in advancing science"
 Speaking of judicial matters, Attor ney Glowner intimated that he beliey- ed Judge Sloan was very much over worked. Mir. Glowner favors the es- tablishment of another judicial dis trict, embracing the northern tier of counties, outside of Yavapai county. He believes that Mohave, Apache, Co conino and Napajo counties have enough work to keep one judge busy, while Yavapai county, he thinks, could keep one judge busy the year round.

Embroidered Handkerchiefs.

A dainty bit of embroidery easily
taken to the reading class is one Of
the small scalloped haIdkerchiets now
so popular.
These are made of the sheerest hand
kerchSf linen about ten inches square.
Or if you want to cut economically
three-Guarters of yard of yard wide
linen can be cut into Il dozen handker-
chiefs, nine inches square, which when
finished with the scallops will be
slightly smaller.
Draw the tiniest of scallops on the
edge Halfway around spool of No.
200 cotton will be a good model.
Pad slightly with fine darning cotton
and scallop with No. 40 or 4o mercer
lied white cotton. Make the work as
exquisite as possible.
The initials may be square, block
letters about an eighth of an inch high,
or the japanese letters are extremely
effective.
If preferred, this scalloping may be
done in color, with the lettering to
match, but the scallop must be kept
very delicate and shallow to look well

tenders to the throne of Morocco. She
knows NIulai Hafid. the half brother of
the reigning sultan, who. has proclaim
ed himself in various regions as the
true sovereign. Mulai Mohammed she
also knows, as well as the famous
brigand Valiente. Her impressions of
the chief pretender, Mulai Hafid, are
that he is a man of considerable intel
igence and of wide information. He is
really friendly to progress and reform
and not hostile to the influence and in
novations of foreigners. though it an
swers his purpose to pretend to be so.
Mulai Mohammed is less favorable to
Europeans and is of the true type of
the Moslem.
AS to Valfente, he is not particularly
educated, and his predominant char
acteristic is rude force and brutality.
This is a common type in Morocco,
but Nine. du Cast was treated by him,
as by others, with the utmost respect
and consideration. Had she been a
man her reception would have been
different She would have aroused sus-
picion in the eminently suspicious ori-
entail mind; but, being woman, the
Moors refused to regard her as inim-
| ical to their interests or as serious
agent of foreign power. That made
| the strength of her position. She was
able to come and go without let or
| hindrance.

Never cut the nail away too closely
at the sides. If there is nothing left
to prevent. the flesh will always grow
too thick there and hangnails form.
File round, but net too close. and use
scissors only when absolutely needed
to cut off small particles adhering to
the skin. White spots on the nails
show where they have been bruised,
and this comes usually from severe
pressure at the base in using the stick
to push back the flesh. If the nails
are >oftened in warm olive oil the
stick may be used much easier. Vase
line is also excellent for hardening the
nails so they will not be brittle ana
bend or break too easily. Use the
brush to remove dirt under the nails,
never a sharp instrument.

The Centenary of the Waltz.

1t is said in Paris that this year of
grace 1908 marks, among other ami
versaries of more or less interest, that
of the valse, or waltz A certain NJ.
de Trenis, 1.-The irresistible Trenis," as
he was often called, is credited with
the introduction of the waltz, having
for his partner a beautiful creole NAM
ed Hamelin.
After stately minuets and solemn
quadrilles everybody climbed on the
chairs and tables to see this pair per-
form, and when it was over De Trenis
would define the art as requiring the
amalgamation of two dancers who
ought to flow over the floor like over
polished marble"
1t seems. however, to have been some
time before society took to waltzing,
both men and their partners being
somewhat shy of an exhibition which
was apt to end in a disaster, such as
that which happened at Nine. Reca-
mier's when an fmpetuous novice upset
q chiffonier covered with precious por-
celain.
Poor NJ. de Trenis himself was never
destined to see his invention popular
lied. He had turned so often and so
swiftly in the mazes of his waltz that
ne lost his brain.

Peroxide For the Hands,

Peroxide of hydrogen whitens the
skin, but also dries out all the natural
oils if used too freely. Any druggist
will put up solution the proper
strength for the purpose, and it may
be rubbed in and allowed to dry on
after the cleansing. The latter is per-
haps the most important Where the
hands are badly stained, rough and
calloused, lemon juice, fresh lard, vase
line, olive oil, toilet pumice, a good
nailbrush, a cake of fine toilet soap,
some oatmeal and lots of cold cream
should always be kept ready.
The lard will soften the CRIME. Rub
IT in and let stay ten minutes. Then
use warm water, soap and the brush.
If the CRIME still remains, repeat.
Rinse and dry and examine the hands
for stains. Use the half of cut lem
on. which will usually take these off.
If not, solution of oxalic acid kept in
small vial may be used. but should
be washed off Immediately. as it burns
and roughens Then fill the hands
with white vaseline, rubbing it in well.
Wash off with warm water, soap and
the brush. Rub any callous place with
the toilet pumice. Soak the nails ten
minutes in a spoonful of warm olive
oil. then. in little clean warm suds,
and manicure the nails while soft.
Fiji the hands with cold cream and
wash again, using the almond meal.

AMAZON MOTHERS.
Peculiar Custom Of Half Buryins Ba-
bies In Sand

An English officer who has been on
many exploring trips through South
America told recently of a surprising
scene he had witnessed far in the inte-
rior of the Amazon country.
81 had come to a point" he said,
"where my best guides were dead or
sick. needed help to push On to my
goal. An Amazon village was near,
and to this I repaired.
"Not q man was at home. The viii
lage was in charge of the women-tall,
bronze colored, handsome females
each with one or two babies at her
heels. They were jolly babies, if born
in slavery. They laughed up in your
face, and they were clean, because they
did not wear clothes and were taught
to live in the water as much as on the
land
81 made the women understand that
1 wished to be guided over ten miles
more of the stream, and four of them
volunteered to do the work for me for
the equivalent of So in our money. 1
accepted.
Then came the funny things about
their babies. Each woman had two.
They scooped out holes in the sand in
the shade and set the babies in them.
Then they heaped sand about them
until it rose to their armpits. Their
heads, arms and hands were free.
inquired if the babies could not dig
their way out. My informant said they
would not try to. They would play
with the sand about them until they
were asleep. but would not attempt to
get away.
The mothers guided us well and
when we were safe, with a wave of
their hands, plunged into the bush and
started on a dog trot for their village
1 have seen babies roped up, Gagged and
harnessed to keep them in bounds, but
this was the first time ever saw them
planted"

THE BIG BELL OF MOSCOW.
Too Heavy to Hang In a Tower, 1t
Stands In the kren1Iin.

The great bell at Moscow. Russia.
cast in 1868, weighs no less than 1913
tons and is the largest bell in the
world. 1t has much silver and gold in
its composition. Because of its great
size and weight it was never hung in
tower. But at one time it was
swung between supports about twenty
five feet in height. Even then it was
too heavy to be used. 1t was not rung,
but was struck, the clapper being IN
clasped and used as a striker.
During severe winter the bell was
cracked, and the part between the
cracks came out. As it had been
cracked in the shape of an acute angle
the piece that fell out left an opening
like Gothic doorway. The bell was
then placed upon the marble and
syenite pavement of the Kremlin. The
opening was really made a doorway,
and the bell became a small but ex-
quisitely unique and beautiful chapel.
1t is used only for prayer. The ring
ing of the words spoken therein is of
a soft, musical, altogether peculiar
sound. producing a weird. thrilling, yet
solemn effect. >.Ner.

A WOMAN IN MOROCCO.

Mime. du Cast, Who Was Given a
Diplomatic Mission.
1t is not often in the present day
that a woman is given diplomatic
mission. Those things belong rather to
the brave days of the past. when
grandes danes held political salons
and played considerable part in
! state affairs.
| Nine. Camille du Cast is an eXcep-
ton. She is Il modern society woman.
with a great place in social Paris, and
vet has the tastes and the necessary
! qualifications OF an explorer and diplo-
mat A combination of circumstances
! of a sporting character drew her to
/ Morocco, and today she is one of the
| few women with Il real acquaintance
with the interior of the still unleVel-
oped and largely unknown Shereeiian
empire.
| About eighteen months ago she was
charged with mission by the depart
ment Of agriculture OF the French gov
ernment to make report upon the
agricultural resources of Morocco. So
well has she performed her difficult
and adventurous task that she is going
again in few weeks time to renew
Rcquaintances with the territories and
people of the sultan Abdul Aziz. 1t
was really her passion for motoring
that induced Nine. du Cast to cross
the Mediterranean to Tangier. She
had taken part in the last of the inter-

CARING For DishcIoths.

Dishrags are the great difficulty that
beset the careful housekeeper in her
efforts to keep a clean and tidy kitchen.
They are drying on the hook and hang
ing on the sink, and somehow towel
used for pots and pans is always damp.
Then time must be taken from the
general work to wash them out and
dry them, and altogether they are most
extremely annoying.
All these things. and more, too, were
discovered by careful young house
keeper, so she arranged to have dish
in the outer Kitchen filled with good
clear water and some washing soda,
and into this mixture the cloths were
dropped Immediately after using, and
there they were left till evening. when
they were hung up where they might
dry overnight.
Of course enough towels must be on
hand so that the same one need not be
used more than once day, but at
least they are always clean, and the
kitchen is always in order.

THE AGREEABLE WOMAN.
Any One Can Be Pleasant When Life
Is Merry.

Any One Can Be Pleasant When Life
Is Merry.
Whatever else you are in life. be-
agreeable.
There is so little sense in being any
thing else.
1t doesn't pay in any kind of coin to
be snappy or sarcastic or b1ckbfting.
Whether you are in business, pleasure
Or wisdom bent you will find the wo-
man who goes out of her way to be
nice to others carrying off the prizes
of social. literary or financial life.
It's really no more trouble to be
agreeable once you get into the way
OF it than to be disagreeable. If it
does not come natural to you to say
or Go the pleasant thing unfortunate
IL there are some of US who are down
right ugly" by nature), then prac-
tice it.
Don't put of that practicing either
fill another time when you are feeling
more in love with your fellows.
Begin at once.
Any one can be pleasant when life
is as merry as the fellow who has just
Detu lbtllli Il iJttl tietl, lelllCtIIDSi.
THE man worth while is the one
who can smile when everything goes
dead wrong"
So begin trying to be agreeable the
next time existence seems to have just
about as much humor as some comic
operas You will be surprised how
much better you will feel, not to speak
of those who must put up with you.
1t isn't really hard to be agreeable,
especially if your digestion has not
been trifed with. All that is necessary
is to think pleasant thoughts and then
put them into working order.
If you can't be agreeable, be as
agreeable as you can.
You will be surprised to find how
soon it will become easy to be pleas
ant all the time instead of snarly and
generally hateful.
1t will be an equal surprise when
you find you are liked instead of de-
tested and that the popularity you
once professed to despise makes this
world a much more agreeable place to
worry along in.

Tramps Ride Free.

During the last few months
the Southern Pacific has permit
ted tramps to travel without mo-
lestation on their trains. While
no general order has been given
by the management, the sign Of
free rides has been passed along
by train men until many who
are able to take a chair car pre-
fer the cheaper route. 1t is esti-
mated that the tramp traffic
through Albany averages 25 a
day, or 600 to 700 month, says
the Herald.
The "underneath" route is
the most dangerous in the world
to the knowledge Of the railroad
business. More men are killed
beating their way than in all
other kinds of railroad acci-
dents. During the year of 1907
nearly $500 tramps were killed,
though no means was at hand
to learn of all accidents.
Slightly over $500 tramps
were manned for life, and there
undoubtedly were innumerable
accidents that were not report
ed.
