a man who opposes the maxim,
Keep your money at home. . That
is protection doctrine pure and SIM
pie. 1t is sound doctrine for the
Arkansas mill owner and for every
man who has anything to sell. That
is precisely what a protective tariff
aims to do-to keep your money at
home," where it will circulate, and
where you will "have chance to
get hold of it again." AS Abraham
Lincoln said: IF you buy an article
abroad, you have the article, but the
foreigner has the money. If you
buy an article made at home, you
have the article, but the money stays
at home." There is the germ of a
good, reliable Southern protectionist
in that Arkansas mill man.

BINDING A SHARK.
A Pearl Divers Russ by Which He
Made Good His Escape.

a Pearl Divers Russ by Which He
Made Good His Escape.
A successful diver must possess
great courage and nerves of steel.
Such asman connected with large
Wrecking company was visiting some
years ago the pearl fisheries in the
gulf Of California, where sharks
abounded. On one Of his trips in quest
of the pearl oyster he had narrow
escape from a fearful death.
He had been instructed never; to stir
from the bottom until he had looked
up and around. Fortunately he needed
the advice. Having filed his bag, he
glanced quickly aboutsand caught sight
Of huge shovel nosed shark watch
ing him. =. ~:
In an emergency men think fast.
Near the diver was a large rock. He
moved quickly to the other side Of it.
hoping to dodge the ferocious monster,
but the maneuver did not work. The
shark watched ev cry NOV ement, chang
ing his position by slight motion of
his powerful tail. ~. 4>~
Time was precious, and the diver
conceived the idea Of binding the
shark by stirring up the mud. Under
cover Of that he might escape. He
worked for dear life and had the wa
ter thick with mud in less than half a
minute. --rs. 49,. 1880
Slipping around the rock again. he
rose to the surface, having barely
strength enough to reach the side of
the boat. and was hauled on board
just as the voracious man eater made
rush for him. ~ F.s

Poison In Youno Rattiesnakes,

Poison In Young RattIesnakes.
Observations on live rattlesnakes
show that the poison glands become
functionally active as soon as the
snakes begin to shift for themselves,
which must be very soon after birth.
Experiments on the young ones six
days after birth. proved the presence
Of venom in small quantities. Expert
ments made three months after birth
showed that considerable venom is
secreted, as a pigeon innoculated at
this time died in two hours with the
usual symptoms of chronic poisoning.

A Very Old Rule,

The Oldest mathematic book in the
world is believed to be the ''Papyrus
Rhind" in the British museum, pro-
fessed to have been written by Ahmes,
scribe of King Ra-a-us, about the
period between 1000 and 1900 B. G.
This "Papyrus Rhind" was translated
by Eisenlohr Of Leipzig, and it was
found to contain rule for making a
square equal in area to a given circle.
1t was not put forth as an original dis
covery, but as the transcript of
treatise 500 years older still, which
sends us back to approximately $500
E. c., when Egyptian mathematicians
solved, or thought they had solved,
the problem of sQuaring the circle.

A Figure Trick,

Get some one to put down row of
figures, to add them up and subtract
the total, thus: \ %=.-~
! 63,214 ~: ~: ~
& These figures added together make
16. Subtract this 16 from the original
number and you get 6319S.
Now ask them to cross out any one
figure, total them up again and tell
you the total. Thus, say, they cross
out the 6, the total becomes 21. They
tell you this, and without looking at
the sum you can say the value Of the
figure which has been crossed out.
You do this trick by subtracting the
total from the next multiple Of g..
1.-THE total,' says your friend, lis 21.''
J The nearest multiple Of above Fl
! is ~. You subtract 21 from q. and
! that leaves 6. To your friend you
say in digni6ed tone, 1.-THE figure
you crossed out was g." And your
wondering friend believes you to be
possessed Of occult powers.
It doesn't matter what figures are
originally put down, the answer al
ways comes correct.

ingman, claiming that he is the
innocent victim OF the tariff law
enacted by republican Congress.
These democratic papers say that
the workingman pays a tax on
everything he eats, wears and
drinks, which is not true. But at
that, those same democratic news
papers do not refer to the time
along in 1898 to 1906 when the
workingman could not for the life
of him get together anything upon
which to pay tax.
Those were real good, old do
mestic days, when the factories
were closed and the mechanic and
artisan enjoyed period of rest.
He had the pleasure of marching
across the country to the music
furnished by Coxey's army band.
He was the patron ofthe free soup
house and his couch was found in
the police station. The working.
men have notfor gotten those days
of "one round of pleasure" but
the domestic newspapers do not
refer, to them. We wonder why ?
Yet they would5have the working
men vote their return.

A WISE WORD TO THE WISE.

In an Arkansas paper, Democratic
in politics, we find the following adj
vertisement:
Keep Your Money at Home.
Get your -four, meal and feed at
the Universal Mill; by so doing you
not only get pure, unadulterated
goods and full weight. but keep your
money circulating around home and
have chance to get hold of it again.
On the other hand, by the buying
the cheaper mixtures that are
shipped in and sending your money
away there is very. little hope of ever
seeing it again. A word to the wise
is sufficient.
Presumably the advertiser is like
wise a Democrat, and votes with
great regularity to send to Congress

ward the time will be faster, the train
leaving Phoenix at $50 p. m. and
reaching Los Angeles at 1890 the next
morning. The equipment is new, and
will include chair cars and standard
sleepers. AS far as Parker the train
will be operated by the main line sys-
tenn of the Santa Fe, east of that point
passing under the charge of the Santa
Fe, Prescott & Phoenix system. Much
of the newer track has been oiled al
ready, and there is rock ballast on
much of the remainder.
At Parker the Santa Fe has erected
what is declared the finest bridge on
the Pacific slope, costing more than
$1,000000, a quarter of mile long,
spanning the muddy Colorado. Its
tracks are about seventy feet above the
ordinary river level, while its piers were
sunk in places 10 feet below the water
level There are almost no approaches
to the main structure of five immense
steel spans.
From Cadiz to Parker the way is
over a desert, but one expected to be

There are dry lakes, full of borax and
of salts of various kinds, and the bare

with direct trains from Phoenix, Arlz.,
to Los Angeles.
Several years ago the Santa Fe start
ed work upon this great railroad prof.
ect. one of the most important links or
the system. Heretofore that line has
been seriously handicapped In its coast
wise traffic out of Central Arizona by
the length of its route around by Ash
Fork. The new route will be bit
longer than the Southern Pacific out
of PhieniX, but the 2S-mile handicap
will be more than overcome by the
straightness of the track, by the lack OF
grades through Arizona, and by the
comparative lightness of the trains
hauled. Because of these traffic condl-
tions, passengers to Los Angeles from
as far north as Prescott will be handled
over the new line.
The road is actually new for only
ninety miles of it's length, the stretch
across the desert between the Colorado
river and Cadiz, on the Santa Fe main
line in California. Between Parker and
Wickenburg, Ariz., los miles, the line
has been in operation for more than a
year. From Wickenburg south to Phoe-

CONGRATULATIONS

The statement from the White House
last night records an arrangement in
which the business interests of the en-
tire country may find reason for con-
graduation. 1t denotes likewise a tri-
umph Of common sense over technical
legal opportunity. 1t is unnecessary
to recur now either to the genesis of
the injunction proceedings or to their
propriety. Sufficient that the conclu-
sion along the lines of the pending rail-
road bill preserves the dignity Of the
administration, satisfies the represent
atives of the western railroad compa-
nies, arrests an initiative of policy in
which there were the gravest elements
of danger, and, last but perhaps not
least averts a very serious legislative
situation.-NeW York sun.

POLICEMAN ARRESTS WIFE
BECAUSE SHE is A SC0LD
Woman Declares Husband Does
Not Support Her

PHILADELPHIA, July 2.-Because,
he says, his wife scolded him. Frank
NJ. Schweitz, a policeman attached to
the Tenth and Thompson streets sta
ton house, yesterday exercised his au-
thority, arrested her and took her to
the station house. AS the sergeant in
charge refused to lock her up, but in
stead sent her home, this unique pro-
ceeding did not come to light until yes
terday, when Mrs. Schweitz had her
husband before Magistrate Beaton in
the central police court on the charge
of breach of peace.
Mrs. Schweitz, who gave her address
as 952 North Tenth street, said she and
her husband had separated on May 12.
Then, she averred, he began to talk
about her, and meeting him on the
street she frankly stated her opinion of
him, whereupon he arrested her on the
charge of breach of peace.
She said that she had been unable to
get Schmeitz to contribute to her sup
port. After hearing her story Magis-
trate Beaton held the policeman for
court, but allowed him to sign his own
bond.
