 Blacllberries, and blueberries do not belong to the same family. The blackberry belongs to the rose fam fly its nickname, 'bramble" taking its meaning from the Anglo Saxon bram- ble or brember that which tears or lacerates. The blue or huckleberry on the other hand, belongs to the Heath family, though there is a great diff ference between the delicate blue coated berry and the dark crimson acid variety of huckleberry. To the laylnan the distinction between the huckleberry and blueberry is diff cult to make-some blueberries being almost black in color, and the huckle- berry often ripening into a rich blue instead of black The chief botanical difference lies in the seeds; those of the blueberry being tiny though numerous and those of the huckle- berry but ten in number, yet large, hard and nutlike.
 Both berries are found in profusion from Canada on the north to Georgia and Kentucky on the south, and from the Atlantic seaboard to Wisconsin, the latter yielding each year a crop valued at about $70,0O0.
 The high bush blueberry which grows at its best in swamps and damp woods, sometimes reaching a height of twelve feet. has been known to yield a berry a half inch across. Several experiments in it's culture are being made and one authority claims that we may soon expect to have blueberries as large as cherries. The blackberry in cOntradistinctiOn to most fruits is an astringent instead Of a laxative; the fruit, young leaves and roots all possessing this quality. The blueberry or huckleberry has also marked medicinal qualities and is prescribed by physicians where there is a lack of gastric juice. The only qualification is to put them through a sieve to eliminate the seeds
 While the blueberry is tine best of the huckleberry or heath family to serve on the table in cakes, biscuit or buildings, cousin hucllleberry is not to be despised and recipes for either are interchangeable.
 Blueberry Pudding. 2 To one well beaten egg add one-half cup of sugar, one cup of sweet milk, one-half teaspOn salt, one heaping one half teaspoon salt, one heaping spoon of corn starch, two cups of flour, and three cups of blueberries. Turn into a buttered tin and bake in quick oven. Serve with cream and sugar.

 MT. Woods was alone at the time of the accident and immediately made for town in search of medical treat ment. On his way he was met by superintendent Lucas, also of the Central Arizona Power company, and they both started in search of a doctor. As fate would have it., there wasn't a doctor in town. Dr. Keith left for Los Angeles a few days ago, and pr. Flemming left for Phoenix the afternoon of the day of the acci- dent. Fortunately Wm. Neagle, who has a little knowledge of everything, and a lot of something's, with the aid of w. w. Ditto and Superintendent Lucas, gave MT. Woods injury tenn porary treatment, which greatly re- leived his suffering. MT. Woods left for the Octave today where there is a physician.
 Mir. and Mrs. w. W. Ditto returned from Phoenix yesterday. MT. Ditto is the consulting engineer for the Central Arizona Power company and for the Octave mines, which are con- trolled by the same interests.
