Another Nature Fake.

In 1854, says Henry E. Warner ]
met Mr.. Joseph Mulhatton, a journal
list Of wide repute. and went with hin
to South Africa, where we studied the
habits of Beers and other wild ami
mails for two years, Among other
things, we took with us a pocket
piano, on which Mr. Mutation used
to make beautiful music, to the great
distress of our dog, which howled
solos at every performance. We cap
tured monkey, an anthropoidean
quadrumanous mammal with prehis-
toric feet and long tail, well known
to the natives We trained him TO
wait on the table and perform other
domestic services. One day Mr.. Null
hatton got out bis piano and was
about to play Give My Regards to
Broadway" which had not then been
written, when the monkey stepped up,
gravely pushed him aside, and picked
the tune out himself with both hands,
both feet, and his nose, He played
many times for us, but always labored
under the disadvantages of not being
able to stretch an octave.-N. Y. Sun.

COPPER SURPLUS
HAS DISAPPEARED.

That was a good piece of news
which came over the wires yesterday,
telling of the heavy sales of copper
by the United Metals Selling company.
According to the report all the sur
plus copper which this company has
been carrying has been sold in Eu-
rope and the report also is to the eff
feet that there is now less refined
copper in the United States than
there has been for many years This
announcement, taken in connection
with the fact that last week brought
an increase of half a cent per pound
in the price of copper, is certainly
prime news item for the copper coun-
tries. 1t is known that Phelps, Dodge
and company, also large dealers in
copper other than the production of
the mines owned by the Phelps-Dodge
interests, has had no surplus copper
since the first of January.
The present copper product is be-
low that of a year ago fully 40 per
Z cent, according to the best authori-
ties, and the normal product could
not reach the metal markets much be-
fore the first of July. This would
point to an early increase in the
price of the red metal.
When the price of copper reaches
a stability at Is gents or above there
will be a quick resumption of all the
copper properties in this section of
the west and in Sonora. -.
We ragard the latest news concern
ing the supply of copper to be cause
for rejoicing in Arizona.

Wife-Boat.

Two fishermen named Smith, living
near each other, had met with misfor-
tune, the one having lost his wife and
the other his boat.
A lady visitor called on the one
who had lost his boat, thinking was
the one who had lost his wife. Good
morning, Mr.. Smith. / am sorry to

BREAKING UP A wAsP's NEST.
insects Will All Go to Thei9 Death In
jug of Hot Water.

"Most people think of hornets and
yellow jackets as strictly country
products, but as sact the big vege-
table gardens in the southwestern
part of the city are very well sup
piled with both" says a st. Louis
truck farmer
"Of course at this season of the year
they give very little trouble, but in
the autumn, when fall blowing is in
progress, it is a very common thing
to turn up a nest Of ground wasps,
and then there is generally runaway
in two directions, for the wasps are
ill-tempered when disturbed and at
tack both the farmer and his horse;
the latter takes one direction and the
farmer tracks in another.
1T is a very easy matter to exter-
inmate the wasps before beginning to
pillow, so when a gardener notices
there is nest of them anywhere on
his land he prepares for them before
he plows. He takes a common earth
enware jug half full OF very hot water,
sets it down close to the mouth of
the wasps' nest, puts on a pair Of
gloves, covers his head and neck with
handkerchief under his hat. gives
the nest a poke with a long pole, and
runs. The angry wasps come out by
hundreds, and, seeing nothing un-
usual but the jug, they attack it with
might and main, diving down through
the narrow neck, apparently under
the impression that their enemy Is
hidden inside.
THE hot water kills them, but those
that are not Immediately drowned
| keep up tremendous buzzing, which
seems to exasperate still further all
the wasps within hearing, and it looks
as though they can't get into the jug
| fast enough. l have several times
! taken more than a thousand drowned
wasps out of the jug after a raid, for
so long as a wasp is left he makes
for the mouth of the jug, and the
whole nest can be exterminated in
| this way. 1t is queer illustration OF
stupidity on the part of an otherwise
intelligent insect but the trick never
fails"

BalIOonists In the Sea.

1t is not little remarkable that al
though scores of balloons have been
driven out to sea cases in which this
misadventure has ended fatally are
few.
More than century ago, when Maj.
Money made an ascent from Norwich,
England, he was compelled to descend
in the sea, where he remained for
seven hours until his plight was seen
and he was rescued by the crew of a
revenue cutter. Some years later, in
1872, James Sadler narrowly escaped
drowning in an attempt to cross the
Irish channel; his balloon dropped
into the water some miles off Liver
pool and he was on the point of sue
cumbing when rescue came in the form
of fishing boat
In similar attempt Mr.. Crosbie
was saved when almost in extremis
many miles from the English coast.
Lunardi, in 1885, nearly lost his life in
the sea off Edinburgh, and in the same
year two aeronauts, in an attempt to
cross the English channel. had also q
narrow escape.

INTELLECTUAL, MORAL AND
RELIGIOUS DEVELOPMENT.

James Allen Geisinger, writing of
the intellectual, moral and religious
development in west Texas, New Mex
leo and Arizona, in Southwestern OPP
portunities, an Ell Pasos publication,
has this to say, which we think
worthy of a place in our columns:
yet we must turn from this phase
of life in the southwest to consider
it's intellectual, moral and religious
development.
"The conditions here are unique.
This territory borders on old Mexico
and has always felt, it's influence. In
dams and Mexicans are not alert in
ta.ssctua.ly ard arc sluggish morally.
Roman Catholicism has been the DOM
inant faith until in recent years. The
early corners, the cowboys, mine
prospectors and promoters, thought
little of 'fhe nobler modes of life"
Homes. schools, libraries they little
thought Of. But now for some years
Americans of the hone-building type
have been pouring into this section
and the wonderful change is evident
everywhere. Still it must not be over
looked that these late corners were
preceded by the real pioneers Of civ
;Iization, the missionaries and the
teachers. Nor should it be forgotten
in the future that the public leaders
made generous provision for educa-
tion. Texas has set apart as much in
the way of funds for education as any
state in the union. Its university is
its pride. The westerner, no matter
where ne halls from, believes in edu'
cation. New Mexico has schools foI
Indians and Mexicans. as has Arizona
The former has a military school al
Roswell, an agricultural college a
Mesilla Park, a school of mines a
soeorro. a normal school at Las We
gas. and a territorial university a
AIbuqueroue. Besides these public
institutions the Methodist church ha'

things are true and worthy. Reforms
come from change of public senti-
ment. but public sentiment is nodded
usually, especially when it is turned
for good, by the labors of some one
man or woman, or a small number OF
men and women. The moral renova.
ton remarked by all is the reward OF
those who have stood unyieldingly
for better things and have waited.

Ration and Albuquerque. Arizona pays
public school teachers an average
monthly salary of $50. 1t has normal
schools at Tempe and Flagstaff, with
college at Tucson.
The churches in this section are
rapidly coming to exert wholesome
and far-reaching influence In the
larger places they are for the most
part self-supporting. The Methodist
Episcopal church has nine such APP
pointments, the Presbyterians fifteen,
the Baptists twelve. The Methodist
Episcopal church, south, organized in
1890. taking in West Texas and New
Mexico, with forty-fve preaching
places. We have fine properties at
Tucson, Phoenix, Flagstaff, Santa Fe
and Albuquerque. At Ration the cor
ner stone, for a $4,000 Methodist
church was laid this last January
The Harwoods were early in this field
and the Methodists now have thirty
seven appointments among the Mexi-
cans, with forty among the English
people. The Presbyterian church has
eighty-three preaching places in this
section They have recently opened
a new school for boys at Santa Fe,
the initial unit of the plant costing
$4,000. The Baptists are very strong
in west Texas and in New Mexico
have twenty-five missionaries at
work, with property valued at $9n
"The Y. NJ. C. A. has entered the
field in earnest. They are reaching
all the cities. Ell Paso has a $125,OOO
plant. Phoenix a 100000, with build
ings at Las Vegas, Douglas and Bis
bee. This organization is peculiarly
needed in this new country, where
there is indifference to the church and
many hundreds of young men away
from home influences. 1t has received
more than $4,000 of eastern money
for the prosecution of its work.
Eel Paso has spent more than $780,
900 in new church buildings the past
two years.
mo one can read such a story of
moral and religious effort, large
part of which has been effaced, but
the drift of which can be made out
from existing conditions and institu-
lions, without realizing that unmistak-
able and permanent victories have
been won in this country along these
lines. The seed is sown and then for
long there seems to be no result. Sud
denly a golden harvest is laughing in
the sun. So has it been here. An un-
usually brave missionary makes his
way along the trails. A teacher moves
in upon a claim and opens class. A
family now and another then. A
school house, more school houses, the
shrek Of an engines whistle, then
more and more families, a church
spire, newspaper, town, suddenly
a new order of society. You do not
see the thin blades breaking through
the soil. One morning your are
amazed to see your harvest. So old
settlers here daily remark the amaz-

Denver. Jan 12-Untold misery
for the German empire is embodied
in a prophecy which has been made
by Mrs Charles Otto, wife OF Ger
man high school teacher, who Is now
in Denver. Professor Otto says the
decline and fall of Germany came to
his wife In a dream and that AT her

wrote the kaiser letter IN August.
So far It has met with no reply. and
Otto believes that friends of the

Mrs. Otto Is 20 years old, and the
first vision that came to her was in
Buenos Ayres. South America, where
her husband was In the service oi

New York Jan. ia special to

Harlan's theory is that nation well

Not only is Justice Harlan in favor
