Woman Gets New Office.

Gov. Sloan OF Arizona made himself
most popular with certain people of his
territory and incidentally exalted the
cause Of woman when. after an exciting
contest. he appointed Miss Sharlot M
Hall territorial historian. The Office is
of great Importance to the future, be-
cause now the records of state in MAX
ing as well as the data of passing race
the Indian-will be kept by her
Miss Hall should know Of the Indian
and Of the pioneer. She was born in Lin
coin county. Kansas, in 1870, when the
old Santa Fee trail was reality, and the
aborigines still ranged the prairies of her
own state. She moved with her family
to Arizona when very young, and the
method Of travel was a prairie schooner
From early youth she has taken great
interest in the history of the frontier,
and most of this she received at first
hand from the participants in the great
events. She made a close study of the
Indian. and has written many papers on
tthe subject.

Exercise for the Fat.
rom the Youths Companion.

From the Youth Companion
Although the food that one takes often
has much to do with the amount of fat
put on, and a restriction In the intake OF
foods may prevent the forma-
ton Of more fat In the tissues or even
effect a reduction. it Is seldom that this
alone will prove eflcacious. A strict diet
Is irksome. and most fat people are too
easy-going to carry II out faithfully. This
is not that they are weak or deficient In
self-control. but they are too happy and
content with their flesh to be willing to
suffer Overmuch discomfort In any effort
to rid themselves of it. Moreover. too
radical a change in a diet may prove In
furious, and 1t is better to be too fat-a
little too fat, anyway-than to suffer from
indigestion or damage to the kidneys, as
one may easily do by inconsiderate and
injudicious dieting. 1t is much better
to restrict somewhat the intake OF fat
increase of fat, and to effect the actual
reduction by mechanical means, that is
to say, by exercise. massage. and. in
certain cases. by the wearing Of belt or
times useful when the abdomen Is large.
not only in making the girth seem
smaller. but actually in causing an alb
sorption of fat by the action OF the con-
slant slight pressure.
Massage, when skillfully performed-not
simply desultory rubbing here and there
will do much in reducing flesh, when
combined with dieting and with active
exercise in the open air.
Exercise-systematic.a active exercises
of the greatest value In restraining a
tendency to the overproduction Of fat
and in causing reduction OF fat alreaoy
formed. 1t must, however, be combined
with dieting. other wise its object will be
defeated. 1t naturally increases the ap-
petite. especially when taken In the open
air, and If this appetite is satisfied with
the articles OF diet that the fat people
prefer. the last state will be worse than
the first The best exercise is walking
not strolling. but rapid. springy walking.
with shoulders back and arms swinging.
This kind of walking fills the lungs with
oxygen. which burns up the fat. puts all
the muscles in motion, by which a nat
ural massage is effected. and increases
the circulation, by which the waste prod
ucts are more rapidly eliminated

Toxic Action of Meat.
From the Hospital.

From the hospital
Linossier has recently reported TO the
Academic de Medicine de Paris some in
teresting experiments with regard to the
nephro- toxic action OF various meats. By
simultaneous injection OF an aqueous ex-
tract of hashed meat he has been able to
produce albuminuria in rabbits and
guinea pigs The minimum dose neces-
sary to cause this condition Is very va
riable even when the same kind or meat
is used to prepare the extract, fact
which must be attributed as much to a
difference in the renal resistance OF vari-
Gus animals as to variations I'm the toxic
ity of the meat. Albuminuria appears
very quickly after the injection and only
lasts few hours.
II is probable that man acquires tolera-
ton to the toxic action of meat, but this
does not mean that heavy meat can be
habitually indulgd In with impunity. The
accidental and excessive use OF meat by
a vegetarian would probably be produce
tive Of harm, but 1T Is fair to suppose that
a regular and properly graduated meat
diet would be beneficial to a nephritic.

ORIGIN OF PUNCH.
English Brought It From India.
Mistake Of Schleswig Magnates.

From the LONDON GLOBE.
In Germany punch is the national drink
for the night Of st. Sylvester, when Ger
mans finish the year by drinking punch,
usage observed even by the kaiser
himself. Punch is what they drink when
they have colds.
Moreover. we are told that the English
brought punch from India. 1t takes it's
name from panscha, q Sanscrit word for
five, because such is the number of the
ingredients. arrak, or rum. tea, sugar,
lemon and hot water. 1t was in 1875
that the English first celebrated the New
Year with punch.
A contemporary relates an amusing story
In connection with punch. When Fred
erick VII came to Flensburg, in Schles-
wig. he gave a banquet to the notables
Of the district. After the dessert he de-
sired a court official to inquire how the
guests had enjoyed his hospitality. They
hesitated to express an opinion, but at
length one, holder than his fellows, re-
solved to speak freely.
Everything was excellent save the
punch. The magnates of Schleswig had
drunk for punch the warm water charged
with perfume which had been placed be-
fore them for ablutions.

MOHONk LAKE. y. Y, May aO.-''The
sixteenth annual Lake Mohonk conference
on interna tional arbitration congratulates
the people of the United States on the
marked progress which the past year has
witnessed in the age-long struggle for
the substitution of the reign of law for
the reign of force in international af-
fairs. 1t notes with deep satisfaction the
significant announcement of the Secre-
tary Of State that the proposed constitu-
ton Of the international court Of arbitral
court OF justice, recognized to the powers
in his circular note of October Is. 1909,
has been received with so much favor as
to insure the establishment of such a
court in the near future.
THE conference has further noted with
profound satisfaction President Tafts re-
cent declaration in favor of the submits
sion to arbitration Of matters Of differ
ence between nations, without reservation
of questions deemed to affect the national
honor, and the conference expresses the
earnest hope that the President and
Senate will give effect to this wise and
farseeing declaration by entering upon
the negotiation of general treaties of ar
bitration of this character at the earliest
possible moment.

This Governments Attitude.

The State Department last light issued
the following official statement explain
ing the policy of the government to-
ward the steamship Venus:
THE United States policy as to the
blockade at Bluefields. whose announce
ment by the Madriz faction would seem
to constitute a recognition on their part
OF the belligerenoy of the Estrada fac
ton, will naturally be the same as that
laid down in regard to the blockade at
Greytown by the Estrada faction. The
Secretary Of State then held that If the
announced blockade or investment was
effectively maintained and the require
ments of International law. including
warning to approaching vessels, were OBJ
served, the United States government
would not be disposed to interfere to pre-
vent its enforcement, but reserved all
rights in respect to the validity Of any
proceedings against vessels as prizes OF
war. In the present instance 1t should,
however. be observed that vessel which
by deceiving the authorities at a port OF
the United States sailed therefrom in the
guise Of a merchantmen, but had in
reality been destined for use as war
vessel, by such act has forfeited full
belligerent rights, such as the right OF
search on the high seas and Of blockade"

Plans of Madriz' Blocked.

The action of this government blocked
the plans of Madriz to capture the town
and seize Estrada and his followers. AL
though it had that effect it was desfg-
mated primarily for the protection of the
lives and property of Americans. After
routing the belligerents from the waters
in the immediate vicinity of Bluef1elds,
Commander Gilmer filed report to the
Navy Department, announcing that the
forces of the Estrada insurgents were
only three miles from Bluef1elds, on their
last line of defense. The Madriz govern
ment forces are crowding in upon them
and a heavy engagement is expected. The
foreigners are not regarded as In danger,
for, since Commander Gilmer served no
tice that the warships should not be per-
mitted to shell the town, he means to
prevent the armies from doing the same.
Accordingly. the factions must fight 1t
out somewhere outside of Bluefields. The
victors may then walk in and take over
the city.
1t is stated that Capt. Gilmer is fol-
lowing a precedent established by Capt
Dillingham; at Santo Domingo City five
years ago. At that time Capt. Dilling-
ham notified the combatants that they
might go outside the town limits and
fight all they pleased, but they could
not jeopardize the lives of women and
children and nonoombatants within the
city.

ESTRADA IN LAST DITCH
MADRIZ REPORTED INCENSED

Affairs in Bluefelds, Nicaragua. are
rapidly approaching a climax. The ar
mics of Madriz and Estrada are in battle
array about three miles from the town.
The Estrada. or insurgent, forces are
said to be occupying their last line OF
defense, fully determined to resist the
further advance of the government army
despite the great numerical superiority
of tine latter.
Meanwhile, acting on specific instruc-
tons from Washington. the command
ing officers of the United States gun
boats Paducah and Dubuque have land
ed an armed force of 100 bluejackets
provided with field guns and rapid-firers.
These have been advantageously placed,
with instructions to protect American
lives and property by preventing the
hostile forces from fighting anywhere
within the limits of the city. In addi-
ton Capt. Gilmer of the Paducah, who
is In command of the naval forces, not
only prevented the Madriz gunboat Venus
from Dombarding the city, but also broke
her attempted blockade by forcing the
Venus to leave the harbOr.
