$ H B-No, Sarah, it is not con. s'dered good form in polite society to fish dead fly out of your soup with the fingers, especially if the soup is very hot. Take your spoon in your right hand and make a lunge sr the offending insect, being careful not to splssh mere soup than IS absolutely necessary over the adjoining guests; then with dramatic gesture deitly drop the fly into the butter plate, which is always furnished for that purpose, at the same tune making 6 polite request to your left hand neighbor to inform the coroner after dinner. The pleasant remark referred to will go far to relieve the gloom that will probably settle over the guests upon the unfolding of the sad in- cideut.

The International says that a gen. tlemen well known in Douglas and who has been acquainted with nearly every district in the state of Sonora during the last ten years> gave it as his opinion yesterday that so far as the national campaign is concerned in the state of Sonora the sentiment is prac. tically unanimous for the regular Diaz and Corral presidential ticket:
 While this is true still there is much interest manifest in Sonora over the probable result of the opposition to the Diaz ticket in other sec.i ons oi the country where there has recently been some rioting as incidents of the strenuous campaign,

Asbestos Deposits
 in Grand Canyon

In & report issued by the United States Geological Survey it is declared that the best asbestos yet found in this country occurs in Arizona. The report says:
 "The best asbestos yet found any where in the United States occurs in 6 national monument near the bot tom of the Grand Canyon of Arizona. The quality of the asbestos is excep tiousl, as are also the grandeur of the scenery in its locality and the pecul- iarity of its mode of occurrence.
 "It is crnss-fiber chrysotile, and 10. cally the fiber is four ipchesiu length. This locality has been described ID Mineral Resources for 1904 and 1901. The asbestos outcrop being 1000 feet above the bottom of the canyon on the north side, the asbestos must be packed on donkeys about a dozen miles down one side of the canyon and up the other 4000 feet to the brink upon the south side, from which point it must be hauled 20 miles to the rail- road for shipment.

Tombstone Must
 Speak for Itself

Many of .he Cochise county busi- ness men who have been figuring on saving some money because of a re- ported reduction of express rates into the territory from the east. obtsined by the Msricops county Commercial club will have to pay the same old rates. The Miner says that Carl Behn, of the Peoples Cash store, formerly of Tombstone, who recently took up the matter with Secretary Jones of the Phoenix organization received letter from him stating that the reduction applies only to Phoenix, Tempe and Mees.
 MT. Jones ssys in his letter that the Wells-Fsrgo company merely put the rates in effect which were complained against and that each locality would have to look out for itself in the mat ter of express rates.

Apaches Married
 In American Fashion

The Globe Silver Belt says: Juig P c Robertson officisted at the wed. ding of Mics Lena Gardfth and Mir. Taylor Msyne, both leading lights of the 400 at San Carlos. last Tuesday evening.
 The bride and groom journeyed all the way from San Carlos to have the nuptial knot ted in American fashion. They considered that the Apache cer- emopy was entirely too antiqus ed for them and the regular routine cere- mony was gone through with. Naturally, there was no best man, bridesmaid, flower girls, or other simi- lar trimmings, which should have been included, but there were plenty | of spectators In fact all of the court house attaches Hbo were not other wise engaged were present.
 Through an interpreter the cere- mony was gone through with without a hitch. When it came to digging up the necessary license fee. however there was e break. The groom could not understand why there should be any lee attached to the performing ol a marriage ceremony, or for the issu- ance of license. When he did grasp the significance of what the interpret CT wa. trying to impart to him he wa. minus the wherewithal to square himself. The squaw came to the res- cue, however. and digging down into her mocsssin produced the necessary money.
 After enjoying a honeymoon of z minutes in Globe the bride and groom departed for gan Carlos.

Virtue Rewarded

Previous to four or five years
ago the public, and especially In this
section, had become saturated with the
idea that all old line or legal reserve
life insurance companies Were about
the same" The opinion was not based
on the public's knowledge Of LIFE
INSURANCE or the contracts Is
sued by the various companies, but on
the statements Of agents representing
various companies other than the MU-
TUAL BENEFIT OF NEWARK, n.
J. BY reason of the severe trials
through which life insurance COM
panies have passed since 1905 and the
wide publicity given the subject, the
public now knows that all companies
are NOT about the same" During
this trying period, because Of the fact
that during its entire existence, cover
ing a period Of sixty-four years, there
had never been so much as an insinua-
ton as to its integrity or business man
agement, the business Of the Mutual
Benefit has gone on increasing each
year, while the business Of those COM
panies that have had their sins uncov-
cred have suffered enormously In loss
of business, Notwithstanding the fact
that each Of them is perfectly solvent
and safe and as good as they have ever
been. They are now trying to Initiate
the principles that have governed the
Mutual Benefit for Sixty-four Years,
and laying great stress on their chang
ed ways, but say nothing Of its having
been forced on them. Don't you think
1t would be safest, so far as your peace
Of mind Is concerned, when you buy
insurance to insure in a company
that has not a single act in its
career for which either 1t or Its
agents need to apologize, and especial
ly in view Of the fact that 1t can and

Study of the Delicate Instrument For
Recording Earth Tremors.

Study of the Delicate Instrument For
Recording Earth Tremors.
Discussing earthquakes and how
they are recorded, Fred S. Wood, a
scientist Of New York, who is making
studies at certain government insti-
tutions, said that the seismograph is
one of the most delicate instruments
known to science. 1.-THE principle OF
its action is very simple" he remark
ed to Washington Post reporter. 1T
consists essentially Of an upright
stand, from near the bottom Of which
projects q horizontal rod, free to move
in a socket at the inner end, and car
rying a point at its outer end. A thin
wire attached to the top Of the stand
runs down diagonally and supports
the movable rod.
"a weight is fastened at the outer
end Of the. rod to keep the supporting
wire taut. At this outer end there Is
attached a long lever, which moves IN
such a way that every motion OF the
end of tn u rod, which Is free to swing
sideways, but not up or down, is mag
nified about a dozen times. To the
larger emf of the lever Is fastened q
needle point, which presses. upon re-
volving drum covered with smoked
paper. This drum Is kept moving by
clockwork, with a perfectly equable
motion, and at the same time 1t Is au-
tomatical!y moved very slowly end
ways. The consequence Is that the
point of the lever being pressed con-
tinuously Upon Il traces smooth spi-
raj line, passing round and round the
drum on the smoked paper. A Eow
paper is added every day, and the
drum Is reset at the point OF begin.
ming, so that the traCings for each "a
hours are kept separate. =.
Now, II the point Of the lever IS
disturbed by any motion of the Seam
swinging it sideways the result Is
shown by the line on the drum becom-
ing wavy or zigZag, and the greater
the disturbance the larger the zigzags.
The exact hour and minute of such a
disturbance are automatically regis
tered on the drum by means Of reg
ular series of cross marks drawn on
the paper by a time marker connected
with the clock. Thus each piece OF
smoked paper contains complete
automatic history Of the motions OF
the seismographic point for twenty
four hours.
1.-The principle governing the swing
ing Of the seismograph has been hap
pily compared to that which Is seen
in operation in gate whose support
ing post leans little inward, out OF
the perpendicular, so as to throw the
weight upon the upper corner. Such
a gate will swing one way or the other
with every tipping of the post side
ways"

Sailors Pickings.-Here and there
on an Atlantic liner to midocean sailors
with pots Of paint and huge brushes
painted cowls, stanchions, rails, every
thing they could reach. Suddenly
dropping his brush, one Of these sail
ors rushed to a man in a black suit
"Oh, sir" he cried distressfully
you've sat down on fresh white
paint"
With q roar the man leaped to his
feet, curved himself acrobatically and
stared at the seat Of his trousers.
But I've got a bottle Of benzine in
my bunk" said the sailor. I'll run
and get it. I'll have your pants all
right in a jiffy."
Soon the pants were all right, and
the man ere he strolled jauntily off Ia
little wet and smelly, perhaps) gave
the sailor quarter.
That's the third today, Bill" the
man said to his mate. Il tell you
what with all this paintin', US jackies

That's right" said Bill. II made a
dollar myself yesterday with that little
bottle Of benzine."
