The Abalone as 2 f.,od

The abalOne is a clean feeder, so that it's flesh is superior in soundness and wholesomeness to that of the oysters and other marine creatures which live near shore in water con taminated by many impurities. Be- sides this, the viScera of these crea- lures must be swallowed whole. while those of the abalone are quite sep arate from the muscular or edible part, and can be cut away by enc stroke of q knife The weight of fairly large fresh abalone is two pounds of which all but a half pound is good meat, the shell being very light. The meat is nutritious. being highly albuminous, like that of clans oysters, Holsters and shell-fish gem erally. Albumen is one of the chief clements of nutrition in milk. cheese. eggs, etc.
 But the flesh. as it comes from the shell, is too touch to be eaten whether uncooked, boiled stewed or fried. The toughness used to be partly eliminated by pounding and hammering it. but this did not render the meat really tender. No matter how long it may be boiled, the fish remains hard. After many experi- ments, a San Franciscan named J. w. Gayetty, discovered that if the aba lone Is killed by electricity its flesh is rendered soft and succulent' like that of an oyster. A company uses his method at an abaione canning factory at Cayucos, San Luis Obispo county. California.
 This company owns several roomy. seaworthy boats, each carrying two Japanese divers, one of whom goes down for three or four hours and is then relieved by the other. The diver tears the abolenes. with moss and seaweed attached to them, from the rocks, and sends up the shells as rap idly as possible. Under ordinary con- ditions he can send up a ton of aba lones in an hour. As soon as the boat comes to shore. the abalones. if not wanted at once in the canenfy. are thrown into a tank of salt water. the bottom of which is strewn with rocks, so as to resemble the floor of | the ocean. and are kept there till they are wanted. The flesh and juice | of the abalone is treated together and 1 the porduct acquires flavor more delicate than that of the oyster. This "abalone food" may be stewed or ! fried, while the juice makes a good broth, 500 DOT appetizer It is relish ed by invalids. and can be retained when other foods nauseate.

TALISMAN'S PRETEXT
 ID EVADE JURY DUTY
CLAIMED TO BEN LOVE WITH
 PROSECUTING WITNESS.
Court Believing His Love to Be a
 Sham Made Him Serve.

Wisckenburg, Ariz, July 4.-tSpe- eial correspondence of The Republi- can)-A large crowd was present yes terday afternoon when the case of Minnie Fimbrez. plaintiff. vs. Jim Hing, defendant, on the charge of stealing a ring, was called to trial. The defendant demanded a jury trial which was granted. It took the jury about one hour to decide Kings fate and they brought in a verdict of ten to two in favor of conviction. Ut is perhaps necessary to explain here that the laws of this territory in a case of this kind require but three-fourths of the jury to arrive at an agree ment in q misdemeanor case. Justice Riggs, in accordance with the verdict, sentenced the defendant to pay fine of s50.. but Jim Hing immediately gave notice Of appeal to the district court in Phoenix The court then fixed the bond at S1OO. which was put up in cash by Lee Kim, the pris- oners friend, and Jim Hing was given his release.
 J. C. Orozeo, member of the jury that tried Jim Hing, furnished the court and it's spectators with no little amusement when Judge Riggs asked MT. Orozco the usual question as to whether or not he had any reason why he could not give the defendant a fair and impartial trial. Mir. OroZco did not hesitate a moment with his asked Miss Fimbrez, who, by the said "Yes-I ann in love with the prosecuting witness" .Loud laughter from the audience) Judge Riggs then

that without materially lessening the
 present crowded condition. Then there
 will be the furnishings, heating and
 ianitor work for the three added build-
 ings and the employment of seven ad-
 ditional teachers, the smallest number
 that can be gotten along with. This
 with some increases in salary that seems absolutely necessary, will make an added expense for the school year, of S12,445.
 The apportionment for the schools last year on the $S2 per capita basis amounted to s3S,64S and then there was deficit of over sS0OO. It is es- timated that the census will just about take care of this deficit. so the s12,445 extra money must come from a direct taxation. The superintendent is just as anxious as anybody to give the schools what they need but he has to carefully consider number of fea- lures of the school law to see just what can be done in justice to the oth CT schools of the county in fixing his recommendation to give Phoenix what seems to be actually and mathemati- cally necessary.
 Like many other growing western towns. Phoenix is always up against it'' on the school question. For several months in the winter time there are some hundreds of transient pupils in the city. pupils who do not figure in the school census and for which the district gets no appropriation. And yet it would never do in the world to withhold school privileges from winter residents. It seems as though the only way out of it is to pay the bill, whatever the cost and yet the superin- tendent who recalls the days when s25 per capita gave all the youngsters all that was necessary, feels quite em- harrassed when SIS per head additional will hardly suffice to maintain the schools even as they have been, in a crowded and undesirable condition. It seems to be no fault of any official but Is merely a penalty that every pros porous and expending community like Phoenix. with a constantly growing winter population, has to pay.

GROWING NEEDS OF
 PHOENIX SCHOOLS
Board Must Have S12,445 More This Year Than Last to Meet Actual Necessities.

The Phoenix school board is finding itself as hard pressed to make both ends meet as the old woman who lived in the shoe. It is doing everything possible to ecOnomize and clip off un- necessaries but the main things the needfuls of the school system cannot be clipped They must be furnished whether there is any money in sight or not and they cannot be furnished without money There are only two ways of getting more money. One is by the levying of special tax, which has been rejected for the reason that such a levy will have to be forthcom- ing before a great while for new build ings and it is quite important to avoid such a tax now The other way is by raising the per capita appropriation on the school census, through the rec ommendation of the county school su- perintendent to the board of super visors. which in turn can elevate the annual levy. The school board now has the matter before the superintend- ent for consideration and it appears at this writing as though his boosting the per capita from $32 of year ago. to s3S for this year. is the only way out.
 The board has made very careful estimate of it's actual necessities for the coming year. allowing nothing that does not seem absolutely essential In the first place three new school build modate the increased attendance and
