HOSPITAL FOR ASYLUM

pr Ray Ferguson, superinten- dent of the territorial insane asy- lum at Phoenix stated recently that big improvements would soon be begun at the asylum grounds which are located just short dis tance south of Phoenix.
 Among the buildings which will be erected is hospital for the in sane patients who are taken ill while confined in the asylum. At the present time these patients are kept in the wards in the mair' building.
 The hospital to be erected will be constructed of brick and will represent an outlay of about $25,- 900. It will have all the lates' equipment and will add greatly to the efficiency of the institution.
 Dr. Ferguson stated that follow ing the completion of the hospita it is hoped to erect an ice and cold storage plant and later several cot tages for inma tes in the institution These cottages will allow of a sys tenn of grading, the milder patients L the more violent ones in the main building.
 At the present time there are 32O inmates confined in the terri torial asylum.

"A MILE OF ENGINES"

It will be remembered that the telegraph told us a few days ago that the New York Central road had collected hundred and twenty idle engines. strung them out in a line a mile. long at Elkhart, Ind and had them photographed ed-the picture to he used as an argument for raising freight rates, step which would logically render more engines idle.
 Noting this item and comment ing thereon, the New York World says:
 "Meanwhile. the American Loco motive company in Schenectady is building for the Central 135 new engines to be delivered this sum mer. As they are bigger and bet ter engines than the old, they will probably fill mile and a quarter of track when. completed. Why not photograph them?
 The Central like other railroads, pressed into service to carry the phenominal traffic of the past two years every old engine that would keep the rails. Being uneconomi cal in operation, these footsore veterans were bound to be retired at the first opportunity. They may, as piteously stated, represent cost" of $1,OOO.OOO. but they are worth now what they can earn as yard engines or will bring as junk
 "The way for a strong railroad like the Central to meet slack times is to cut it's dividends. A wea k railroads proper courseis to become strong by passing through the water squeezing process of a receiv ership. To woo back prosperity ny raising the cost of service is folly."

Giving Him a Lift

s.There was once upon time an
actor" said a speaker, who, afer an
enforced idleness of two months, was
lucky enough to secure an engage
mont in a town twenty-five miles
away. NIL
"The case was a hurry up one. The
actor had to reach the distant town
that night. If he failed to arrive, then
his part would be assigned to some
one else.
"Well, the man patched hs worn
boots with patent thread, pinned up
his few belongings in newspaper
and set out in the early morning on
foot along the towpath. He had only
a few coppers; hence the train was an
impossibility.
But after the poor fellow had COW
cred some six or seven miles his Doots
gave out, blisters rose on his feet,
fatigue overcame him, and in despair
he threw himself on the grass beneath
tree.
"As he lay there in bitter mood a
canalboat hove in sight. 1T drew near
slowly, and an idea seized the actor
Captain he shouted, rising hur-
riedly, captain, pull up, for the love
of heaven!'
"'Waal, wot dye want? said the
captain as he stopped the boat.

In the Horses Place.

A certain man living in New Eng

failing to find him, went down to the

of SIS to whoever could bring MIN
back. =,
A half-witted fellow who heard the
offer volunteered to discover the
whereabouts of the horse, and, sure
enough he returned in half an hour,
leading him by the bride. The own
er was surprised at the ease with
which his half-witted friend had
found he beast, and on passing the
SIS to him, he asked.
"Tell me, how did you fnd the
horse?"
To which the other made answer

Blue Eyes.

That the color of the eyes should
affect their strength may seem
strange, yet that such is the case
need not at this time of day be doubt
ed, and those whose eyes are brown
or dark colored should be informed
that they are weaker and more sus-
ceptible to injury from various causes
than gray or blue eyes. Light blue
eyes are generally the most powerful.
and next to those are gray. The light
er the pupil the greater and longer
continued is the degree of tension the
eye can sustain.

Running as Exercise.

The fact that person is capable
of doing the best running and speed
walking before the thirtieth year need
not lead those who have passed the
third decade to think that they are on
the down grade of life, says an au-
thority. These exercises call for elas-
ticity of the arteries, and that lessons
soon after the thirtieth year, but pow
ers of endurance increase In the well
preserved man or woman UP to nifty
or fifty-five or even later. Soldiers
of fifty are like leather and can per-
form feats of endurance that would
kill the STRIPPING, and the same is true
of women.

She said good-by to Catharine at
the gate, and then she waited some
time before she began to walk toward
home. The sun was setting and pour
ing golden glory over the world, but
it all seemed dark to Eliza. She walk
ed more and more slowly. Her head
was hanging low, so that those who
passed should not see the tears in her
eyes. What was the matter? She
took out her handkerchief and felt the
ten cents In the corner. She was COM
| ing to the postoffice now. Up that
street she had trundled David to his
new home. Eliza stopped and threw
up her head.
David" she called; then went up
the road like deer.
The maid of the lady who had pur-
chased David had just said at the door
of an upstairs room:
"a little girl to see you, num-" when
Eliza pushed past her.
| Eliza was breathless; there were
tear streaks on her cheeks; she threw
herself on baby sitting in sweet
placidity on the floor.
"Oh, David, David she cried, dom
you know sister, don't you love Eliza?
David gurgled and thrust the nose
of woolly lamb in Eliza's face. Ther
the lady who was sitting very,~very
near David said:
What do you want, little girl?" This
is my baby, bought him today
"Oh, no, he isn't, he isn't, he's mine.'
Eliza caught David around his fa'
shoulders and dragged him toward the
door, "I'll give you back your ter
cents and your penny when l earn an.
other, but you can't, you can't have
him."
wait, little girl, wait, you are hurt
ing him." for David had begun tc
whimper. Let me speak to you for 6
moment, dear"
Something in the lady eyes made
Eliza let her take David into her lap
though Eliza stood close by.
"Once l had a baby something like
David" the lady put her lips against
David's curls. And God took hin
any-and-and 1 can't have hin
back. You can have David back
but don't try to give away or sell OF
lose anything that loves you. Some
day there won't be so many and you'll
want to remember that you always
loved everybody God gave you to love
You should be very happy to have sc
many people
"Yes'm," said Eliza. Here's youl
ten cents"
Thank you," said the lady. David
is going to take the woofly lamb home
with him and-has he a pretty coat
and hat? It's cool now the sun Is
down."
Mother is going to make him 9
nice coat when she has time, said
Eliza.
Il have one that will just fit him.
said the lady.
AS they went creaking down the
driveway a little later David had or
a pretty coat and hat and the Woolly
lamb in his arms. The lady walked
beside Eliza to the gate. Then she
said good-by.
Bring David to see me sometimes.
"Yes'm," answered Eliza. Good

Grain as a Weight.

The name grain" as weight origi-
mated in a curious way. The old Eng
lish pound was equivalent to "the
weight Of 1850 grains of wheat, taken
from the middle of the ear This
gives 4S0 to each of the sixteen ounces
OF which the pound was composed.
Although the standard is now entirely
different, the fact that there are still
4S0 grains to the ounce troy and the
ounce apothecary's weight carries us
back to the time Of the conquest and
shows US how the name grain origi-
mated.
