RustIess NeedIebook.

The best way to keep needles from
rustlng is to place them in booklets
made from the waxed paper that,
comes around crackers. Damp wealth
er almost always causes needles to
rust, and the above method will pre-
vent it. 1t is a simple matter to make
the booklets and they will last long

For ships to pass around Gibraltar,
England's and the worlds greatest
fortress, without being observed even
at night is practical impossibility,
owing to the great battery of search

OF light and is revealed. A moving

Skim Milk Diet.

Experiments have shown that when
skim milk Is added to the ration, It
increased the consumption of other
food. Skim milk is valuable for young
chicks in hot, dry weather, and it is
less important, when they grow older.
1t must not be allowed to stand and
become fouled In later experiments
1t was found that with cooler weather
and for older chicks the value of skim
milk was not lessened. d.-Farmers

Do euzzards Carry cholera2

Some time ago | saw this question:
Do buzzards spread the hog cholera?
They do for fact. They gave it to
my hogs this spring. They came to

Rid Of Reaches.

One of the best ways to get rid Of
cockroaches Is to scatter the parlngs
of cucumber about the hiding places.
This is much cheaper than borax,
which is also a good remedy for the
pests. Cornmeal dough mixed with
borax and then scattered about the
hiding places of reaches will cause
them to disappear almost instantly

DUTY.

Over and over again
The sun sinks low in the west.
And always over and over again
The birds come back to the nest.

Close. close to my cottage door,
The same glad song l have heard him
sing
For many day before.
What does this robin say to me?

No task can be dull monotony

COMPANY WILL BUILD
 TO SEA
Especial to Review.)

TUCSON, Sept 2z-That the i'm perial Copper company Is in earnest about building its own line of raii- road from Silyerbell to deepwater at some point in Mexico. according to information received here, is evident from the fact the the company has put an engineering corps in the neld with instructions to report on the most suitable line for complete sur vey of the proposed new roaG. Al competent engineer, with two assis- tants, is now looking over the ground with that object in view.
 Report has it that the Imperial company is seeking to acquire the concession for the old Arizona q Gulf line, which never got nearer its goal than the survey of the line in Mexico. This survey runs from Cape Lobos on the Gulf of California to Sasabe on the Mexican-Arizona bor- der. Local parties are interested Tn
 
 i the concession from the Mexican 2 government, and at one time an et- fort was made to get local business men interested in the scheme With a view of bringing the road to Tue son, it's ultimate destination being come point, probably Salt Lake, in 1 Utah. thus giving Tucson north and south line of no little importance The plans Of the promoters failed or
 nateriahzation, however, and the prcposition was dropped.
 !, While absolutely nothing definite can be obtained except the fact that the Imperial company has corps ot men going over the ground, it is now believed that the company is seeking l to secure the Cape Lobos concession with the view Of constructing the gap between SliyerDeII and SasaDe and completing the old Cape Lobos line. As the company already has a line running from Red Rock to the Silverbell properties, this would give it nearly an air line from its connec- ton with the Southern Pacific at Red Rock to deepwater at Cape Lo- bos, which, it is pointed out, would give that concern a considerable ad,
 vantage i'll the matter of transporta- ton facilities and freight rates. An universal rumor has it that the

PROFIT TAKING EVIDENT IN
 MARKET
By Frank J. Graf.

(Member of Duluth Stock Exchange)
 New York securities opened strong. with Santa Fe in the lead. which soon brought out buying orders for Steel common, St. Paul. Reading, in fact the entire list grew stronger at once. 4f- ter the second hour of trading there was a tendency of profit taking all along the list the market closing at about the low mark for the day. The copper share market was inclined to be weak with the possible exception Of North Butte which showed excellent strength closing at 60. 50. Superior & Pittsburg holds firm at 1875. Ana conda showed heavy profit taking. The curb showed no interest whatever with the possible exception of Dena Arizona which Is in good demand at 500. Shattuck at 9 1-2. The Globe issues are very quiet just at present. Nothing definite on Black Warrior.

together by tapping the pattern
edge of one piece over the selvage
edge of the next, and sewing
either by hand or on the machine.
When all the ruffles have been

have a wide piece of solid lace ma

to increase the length.
