Read what an authority says-People
cannot understand why diamonds do not
come down in price. Unless some new
diamond fields are discovered they will
never come down, and we think that
proportionately they will go as much
higher IN the next ten years. The reason
is this: Ten years ago it took less than
one third of the effort to produce
diamonds that it does to-day. In other
words. the strata of blue ground in the
Kimberly Fields that were then worked
were so prolific that diamonds were found
practically on the top of the earth. After
the very prolific strata were worked out
and it was necessary to go down little
deeper into the earth diamonds were not
quite so plentiful, and to-day it takes at
least three times the effort to produce the
same amount of stones it did ten years
ago. Pearls are also going up in value
at rapid rate. tLURcHN & LURcHIN.

The girls of the graduating class of Barnard college the other day took a ballot on the type of man to meet the requirements of the college girl of the period The class voted that the man or their ideal must have brown hair and brown eyes. He must be six feet tall, 1.-the and athletic in build, and his hair must be crisp and curling. He must wear clothes of brown. and his neckties must match his eyes, except when he chooses a lavender crayat
 His income must be not less than S2OOO a year. with prospects" The girls were divided as to whether in. man should smoke. and the most of them wanted him to be a lawyer. or a doctor or preacher. Meanwhile, the Barnard girls are intelligent enough to Know that one cannot aways get just what one wants. so. like other women. they will go right ahead looking over the best offers that are forthcoming.

 A BAD ONE LANDED-An employe of Prescott store has earned a Car negie madal in the capture of bur glar. He was not an ordinary criminal either one who steals diamonds, jeV,- elry and other baubles, but a deep plotting and dangerous person. He stole a case of eggs, an offense that under the present high price of living is no trivial matter,
 THE ELks' sPEcIAL-The equip ment for the Elks' special train to Detroit is on the way and will be here possibly tomorrow, or the next morn ing at the very latest. That will give the company time to give the train a thorough renevating with the vacuum cleaner and put everything in order and it win unquestionably be the fin est special train that ever ran out of Phoenix: as good as runs out of any country. The Elks' committee is fast getting things in shape for every fea- ture of the trip and on Wednesday afternoon it is expected an Elks yell will ascend that win be heard clear to Detroit
 IRRIGATION CONGRESS LiTERA TURE.-Not only is the city of Pueblo and the irrigation congress doing ev- erything possible to give publicity 10 the coming session of the irrigation congress in that city, but all the rail- roads that enter the city. are spending good money in especially advertising that fact. Not long ago mention was made of a fine folder published by the D. & R. G. devoted to that subject alone Now comes the Santa Fe with a new folder on the same subject well written and handsomely illustrated. Comparisons would be odious for both railroads, all railroads in these latter days, in fact. know as we'll as any body the full value of good writers and artistic job printing They all have the best. though each is a little different This Santa Fe folder con- tains a panoramic view of the business district of Pueblo and some other smaller and special views; small railroad map, time tables, answers to queries, and a lot of irrigation infOr- nation and matter descriptive of the five great valleys of the southwest, one of which is the Salt River Valley. The others it mentions are the Arkan- sas, the Rio Grande. the Pecos and the San Joaquin.

HAT AND uvwN no MA1cu

A linen blocked sailor hat with a rolling brim is one of the new fads. It must match the linen suit with which 1t is worn. The dress must have collar and cuffs of a polka dot foulard and the hat must be trimmed with foulard to match This is one of the most striking styles of the season and bids fair to be exceedingly popu- lar as the summer advances.

VNtGL Winsor, district deputy for Arizona of the B. P. O. E., who is now in Yuma, will join the Phoenix herd at Mari copa on the way back to the big round up in Detroit.
 THE FOURTH-While some Phoe- nix people will go to Buckeye and to the south side to celebrate, and some will go to Prescott or have gone rather, to take in the three days festivities, it is likely that the home celebration and the prize fight will claim the attention of most of the home people. The Fraternal Brotherhood has arranged a fine pro- gram for practically all day and something over half the night, at Eastlake park; celebration includ- ing malitia maneuvers and a sham battle. a bah game and various other sports that will concern the general public just as much as members of the lodge But the latter part of the afternoon will doubtless find most of the "sterner" sex of mature years watching the bulletin boards.
 DECIDED TO SQUARE THINGS The Prescott Journal Miner says: After living in New Mexico for over four years. John Scott, a former resi- dent of the Verde valley, wanted for bail jumping, arrived in Prescott yes terday and surrendered himself to Sheriff Smith. He had grown tired of the game of hiding out. and went up to the bar of justice in the district court, and paid the penalty of his ill advised action. He was fined s25O At the time of Scott's troubles he vas convicted of assault with deadly weapon and was released few days previous on $500 bail He never ap- peared for sentence and his bondsmen made the deficiency good. each con- tributing the sum of S150. Scott lab ored under a misunderstanding of his case, it is said, and was evidently ill., advised in conduct during that time The bond his sureties advanced was made good later. He has property in terests on the range valued at over S5OOO. and will return to the section where he formery lived.
 A CENTRAL AVENUE FiRE.-Dr. William G. Lentz's automobile was de- stroyed by fire yesterday afternoon about o'clock, at his home on North Central avenue just beyond the city limits. A fire alarm was turned in and the department made a run. When the fire was located the engine turned back because il was not only beyond its Jurisdiction, but too far out for its equipment to have done much good in any reasonable length of time. And as 1t transpired, it was not needed The chemical continued to the Lentz home and put out the fire, which would prob ably have gone out in a few minutes Of its own accord, as about everything inflammable was destroyed anyway The machine was resting under a shed while the doctor was making some ad- justment of things and in some way 1t is supposed the gasoline got on fire outside the tank and set up general blaze, though it was not learned ex- actly what did happen in starting the fire. The doctor pushed the machine out into the open at once. to keep the barn from taking fire, and then sent for the firemen in the fear that his resi- dence would take fire. The machine stood no great distance from the house, which would have been endangered had a sudden gust of wind arisen.

Pleasure in the Kitchen.

Some of the greatest men and wom-
en- have found the best pastime and
pleasure in pottering around and cook
ing, and fine thing for the world
they did. Real housekeeping is not
so hard work, If free from all sorts
Of dirty carpetry and useless bric-a-
brac. A whole lot Of plump up, plush
up and swell up and flash upholstery
is a sure sign and unmistakable hall
mark of the bourgeois. For instance.
q music room has a grand piano and
. few easy chairs, and that is ALL And
q kitchen has Just the right tools in
It, and nothing more; anything added
Is true menace and danger. A pref
ty lady who is on the job can turn on
a hot water faucet and mop and rinse
and dry thirty or forty dinner dishes
and laugh and chat, all in ten minutes
1t takes sloven, fat paretic cook an
hour or more of sweaty, sour, green
and yellow funk to do it, and such
typhoid carriers should be made to
wear rubber gloves the minute they
step into the kitchen.-New York

New Lea Every Three Years.

If you were offered SIS or a new
leg every three years, provided you
had to wear an artificial leg, which
would you choose. Prof. Franz H. Kir-
mayer, one of the teachers in the
Bridgewater (Mass.) normal school,
prefers to have new leg instead of
cash. He is a veteran of the civil
war, and the United States govern
ment gives him the choice of either
having new leg or SIS in cash.
In addition to this the government
gives him the right to secure his leg
anywhere he wants to, and the SOW
eminent pays all his expenses, inc!ud-
ing car fare, sleeper and meals to and
from the place he selects. If he want
ed to go to Manila to select a new leg
he would have the opportunity to do
SO.
Prof. Kirmayer has recently re-
turned from Minneapolis, where he
had a new leg fitted, and he is de-
lighted with 1t. 1t is the best leg he
has ever had, he declares. or better
than any since he lost his real leg
down in Georgia in Sherman's march
to the sea.

ONE THIRD DEGREE" METHOD
Electricity Said to Be Used by Police
to Secure Evidence from Their
Stubborn Prisoners.

Electricity is becoming more and
more popular with the administrators
of the third degree" Hugo c. Vein
says in The World of To-Day. The ia
vorite method of its application is
called, in prison slang, "the humming-
bird" The prisoner is stripped and
bound. Sometimes he is gagged, also,
for he is very apt to scream and
shrek. The electric current is turned
into a sponge soaked with water so
that none of its strength will be lost.
A long handle is attached, and the
operator, with rubber gloves, ap-
proaches the victim, who generally is
deposited in shallow tank or tub.
The sponge is applied gently to the
mans legs and then pressed slowly up
ward over his limbs. Perhaps the cur
rent is not particularly strong and he
only clenches his hands and bites his
lips. The pressure Is gradually in
creased as the sponge continues its
way up and down the unprotected legs
and thighs. A low, buzzing, singing
noise emanates from it like the sound
of a humming- This is the whir-
ring of the Juice" and is the reason
Tor the somewhat striking name which
has been applied to the apparatus.
The prisoners limbs are now doubled
up In great, frenzied knots, and his
veins are swollen to double their nor
NAL size as he tries in vain to tear
himself from his bonds. And still the
sponge continues its path over his
body.
1t has now become a coal of fire.
You will observe that this method of
the third degree" is somewhat un-
wieldy. Perhaps this is why it is not
used more extensively through the
country. You will find, on investiga-
ton. however, that it is fairly COM
mon.
