AS TO NATIVITY.

The International American persists in alluding to the former residence of the Bisbee Miners editor in Je- rusalem. Wherefore we are reminded of a dramatic episode in the United States senate at the outbreak of the civil war. Judah P. Benjamin with streaming eyes and his voice shaking with emotion, bade farewell to his colleagues to follow the south into rebellion. Many northern senators shared the sorrow expressed by the distinguished southerner, but one did not, and when Mir. Benjamin resumed his seat, the New Englander arose and observed that the Louisianian's forefathers had once upon a time committed a crime against the Most High.
 Mir. Benjamin took the floor again, this time more in anger than in sor- row, and with the eloquence for which he was famous, he declared: T am a Jew I am proud of my race, proud of my forefathers who received. amid the lightnings and thunders of Sinai, the law from the hand of God. Meanwhile the savage, barelegged, cave-dwelling ancestors of the gen tleman were chasing wild swine amid the bogs of northern Europe"

THE SEWER AGAIN.

We are not informed whether any action has been taken in any quar- ter toward securing an amendment by the next legislature of the Phoenix charter conferring upon the munich pal government such powers as it ought to have. If this matter is delayed until the opening of the legislature it will probably go over for at least two years more. It is not a simple thing to agree upon such an amendment as is needed and that is something that devolves upon Phoenix and not upon the legislature. Unless something is done. or, at least well begun before the opening of the session, it will then be next to hope less that anything will be accom- plished.
 Phoenix was never confronted with a more serious proposition than the sewer question. to cope with which, it is now absolutely helpless. We all expect a phenomenal growth be- fore another two years are passed, yet the fact is overlooked that the town is already much too large for the present sewer system which can be made no larger and no better.
 It can not be made to serve the populous northern additions and it can not be made to serve well even that part of the town for which it was built. It was never intended to carry off the flood waters and in most parts of town the ditches. prim- itive devices at the best, do not do that Hence the sodden and unsightly streets and hence, some of these days, deadly epidemics
 We are laying too heavy a load upon the sunshine and our magnifi- cent climate. There is a limit to the amount of poison they can carry away. They did very well for a town of 1900 and they have done mar velously well for a town of 15,OOO but the limit is being dangerously pressed.

SPECULATORS SWAMI
 CLOSE ID THE SHORE
No News Either to Scare or Encourage Stock Traders.

New York, Dec. 7.-The stock market narrowed perceptibly in its speculative scope today. Market pools were oper- ated by fits and starts in chosen stocks. There were no developments today to throw a very clear light upon the course of affairs. The publication of the gov ernments December l, estimate of the condition of the winter wheat crop was an event of some importance. The real significance Of the S3.5 condition reported was somewhat obscured by active speculative conditions in the wheat market, and exaggerated esti- mates of the damage done, in the opi- nion of private experts, last week.
 Bonds were firm.

ground. There it again sloped up
ward and finally came to stop, maxi
ing in all about $50 feet.
We were now all ready to ride except
for timing the space between the sec
tions of track, but this was very easily
done, and for the rest of vacation we
never had to hunt for amusement but
rode on our chutes constantly.
Safe Amusement
We had one or two slight accidents,
when a boy was thrown off his car
and sprained his ankle or got little
bruise. but they were nothing more
than we might have got playing ball
or skating or at any other sport.
The lot where the chute is built joins
a vacant lot. so we had plenty of room
to work out all of our curves in the
track.
The work kept us busy for about two
weeks and it provided us with better
knowledge of the way to handle ham,
mer and saw, as we'll as giving US
most interesting occupation.

SIMPLE LIFE IN FINLAND
All Glasses Live Out of Doors Through
the Summer

In Finland everybody lives the SIM
pie life in summer. They camp out on
islands, in the forests. and always
somewhere near the water, for every
body swims and bathes.
Almost all classes sleep and eat al
fresco at this time of year, and the
town councils of the towns in this
progressive and altogether delightful
little country provide public fireplaces
and public bathing sheds in all places
where the working classes go in search
of fresh air.
But the simple life is by no means
dull with the Firms. They combine it
with the surprising amount of gravity.
They eat, drink and are very merry
in their picturesque little log cabins
outside the cities.
When they are tired of bathing and
splashing they dance, they sing, they
watch fireworks and practice gymnas-
tics they all become like children and
are the very happiest, irerriest, most
good-natured, most easily pleased and
most healthy holiday makers in the
world.-Ladies' Pictorial.

CHUTE THE CHUTES IS
WORK OF CLEVER BOYS

VACATION was fast drawing to a

cacapity for amusement and conse-
quentIy began to ask ourselves what
to do next.s At last, after much de-
bate, three of ur formed partnership.
We decided to build Chute the Chutes
as we had heard of other boys doing.
but we did not know quite how to be-
gin it.
Finally we hit upon what we thought
to be feasible plan, and we set about
getting the lumber for our car. which
was of course the first thing to be
built.
Built Car first
We first procured q board about two
feet wide for the base of the car, to
which we fastened four double ordin-
ary skate rollers, thus making two on
each side. Next we found two strong
boards for the sides of the car. and

fastened four single rollers on each side
of them, nailinv them firmly to the
base, as we intended to make few
jerks in the track, and it was upon
these sides that the greatest strain
would naturally fall.
The car was now finished except for
front and back. which we duly nailed
between the two sides and the bottom.
The next problem which confronted
us was where to procure the lumber
to make the track. At last, however,
in the way of odd jobs about the
neighborhood and liberal donations
from our praents, who were very much
interested in the work, we collected the
money that was necessary and bought
our material We took the six-inch
planks and nailed them together so as
to form a right angle, and placed two
of them facing each other. thus form
ing a track, part of which was hori-
zontal and the other vertical.
Start on Shed
We started the track from a shed
about fifteen feet high and sloped 1t
at an angle of about forty degrees un-
til about four feet from the ground.
From there we again sloped 1t upward
to height of about six feet and then
