Water Cures.
rom the New York Mall.

From the New York Mall.
The people of the Tennessee mountains
have a superstition about May water"
They believe that rain water that falls
in the month of May has great curative
powers. II bottled and kept for medicine
il will heal wounds and sores all through
the summer and winter until spring comes
again. when more May water can be OBJ
tanned. This superstition doubtless has
no basis in fact aside from the probable
ity that rain water falling in the winter
and early spring could be bottled in q
purer state than water gathered in the
summer. when the air is full of dust
and pollen.
Another of the rnountaineer remedies
is water drunk from new shoe. This
is said 10 be cure for sorc-mouthed
babies. Sometimes the parent has to
traipse nigh across the mountain TO find
anybody who happens to be INDUCING In
the luxury of a new pair of shoes. But
once a new shoe is found the baby's sore
mouth was quickly cured There is prob
ably a scientific basis for this theory.
Acid tannin is basic ingredient of tan
bark. The water poured from a new shoe
would contain tannin. And acid tannin
was once considered a great mouth
wash for babies. 1t is too cheap 10 be
used these days. when something more
expensive, but not more efficient. is to
be had.

CRATER AN INFERNO.
Halemaumau Seems the Traditional
Lake of Birthstone and Fire.

<IoHt Inc tehtuly MdSdZlne
Kilauea. in Hawaii. is a round. extinct
crater about three miles across and seven
or eight hundred feet deep. 1t has been
the scene of terrific explosions in past
ages, but it has now dwindled to the
small active crater Of Halemaumau. which
is sunk near the middle of 1t like huge
pot. ECO or more feet deep and thousand
feet across.
In the midafternoon party of eight or
ten of us on horseback set out to visit the
volcano. The trail led down the broken
and shelving side of the crater. amid trees
and brushes. till it struck the floor OF
lava at the bottom. In going down
was aware all the time of beautiful
bird-song of on my left-a song almost
as sweet as that of our hermit-thrush,
but of an entirely different order. Our
course took us out over the cracked and
contOrted lava beds, where no green thing
was growing. The forms of the lava flow
suggested mailed and writhing dragons
with horrid, gaping mouths and vicious
claws. The lava crunched beneath the
horses feet like shelly and brittle ice. At
one point we passed over a wide. jagged
crack on bridge. AS We neared the
crater the rocks grew warm and sulphur
and other fumes Strealed the air.
When half mile from the crater we
dismounted and. leaving our horses in
charge of the guide. proceeded on foot
over the cracked and heated lava rocks
to the brink of this veritable devils
caldron. The sulphur fumes are so suf-
locating that it can be approached only
on the windward side. The first glance
into that fearful pit is all that your
imagination can picture-it. You look upon
the traditional lake of birthstone and
fire. and if devils were to appear skipping
about over the surface with pitchtOrks.
turning their victims as the cook turns
her frying crullers in the suffering fat.
IT would not much surprise you. This
liquid Is rather thick and viscid, but 1t is
boiling furiously. Great masses of it are
thrown up forty or fifty feet, and fall
with crash like that of the surf upon
the shore.
The mass of boiling lava is said to be
about one and one-half acres in extent.
Its surface is covered with large masses
of floating crust. black and smooth. like
leather or roofing paper, and between
these masses. or islands. the molten lava
shows in broad, vivid lines. 1t Is never
quiet.
Looking upon this scene with the
thought of the Traditional lake of fire
and birthstone of our forefathers in mind,
you would say that these black, filthy
looking masses floating about on the sur
face were the accumulation of all the bad
stuff that had been fried out of the poor
sinners since hell was invented. How
much wickedness and uncharity and evil
thought il would represent! II the poor
victims were clarified and made purer by
the process, then it would seem worth
while.

st. Sophia's Danger.
From the Cincinnati Times-Star.

From the Cincinnati TimesStar.
European intervention at Constanti-
rople is again being urged. This time,
however. it is not the political inter-
vention that would pull down, but the
kind that would build UP.
The report that the foundations Of
the famous mosque. still known to the
Christian world as the Church of ST.
Sophia. We're SO seriously damaged by
the recent earthquake that the build
ing is in imminent danger Of falling
has impressed the world with the i'm
portance OF saving this historic struc-
ture
1t is argued that it would be an ir-
reparable loss were this splendid ex-
ample OF Byzantine architecture, the
largest and finest in existence. to be
allowed to fall after standing for
fourteen centuries. 1t is also argued
be trusted to carry out the work Of
saving ST. Sophia, and therefore the
outside nations should intervene
This view OF the n>atter. while it
means admissible. The Turks are not
barbarians. nor are they likely to act
as barbarianS would in this matter.
IT is quite possible that the new
ever since Constantinok1e became
STEAMBOAT. means as much to them as
il does to the most solicitOus outsiders
Talk of Intervention at such a time
and for such a cause is silly. OF
course, il does not come from any
authoritative source. but from persons
who have allowed their fears to out
weigh their better Judgment. Whether
there is any real occasion for such
fears remains to be seen. In the mean
time il is fairly safe to believe that
the Turks will do their full duty by
st. Sophia just as would any more
western nation which possessed such
d treasure.

it is expected, the committee will have
established q drainage area and decided
on a method OF financing the undertaking.

BRIDE ADMITS TO JUSTICE SHE PROPOSED, AND THE OFFICIAL MADE NO CHARGE.

Orovile, Cal, Mar. 22.-By confess ing that she exercised her leap-yeaI privilege of popping the question to the man she loved Miss Lillian Ethel Carter saved John Norville Stetler the amount of the fee that would have been paid to Justice J. V. Parks Justice Parks announced some time ago that in any cases where it was shown that the woman in the case had done the proposing he would perform the marriage service without charge
 Stetler and Miss Carter were first to take advantage of this offer Miss Carter said she had laid particular stress on the word obey when she asked Stetler, to love, honor and obey her. Stetler says she was just wee bit formal in making her proposal but he was glad to say yes.

SCIENTISTS DISCOVER
 BIG BED OF POTASH
SUPPLY IS LOCATED WHICH WILL NOT BE EXHAUSTED FOR THIR- TY YEARS, IT IS SAID.

Washington, Mar. 22.-Enough pot ash to supply the United States for the next thirty years has been found by government scientists at Searles Lake, San Bernardino county Cali fornia. Estimates of the field by sur veyors is that the supply will prob ably reach four million tons, but ad- thorities here believe that estimate is conservative, and that the supply will amount to more than ten million tons. The great value of the find is that the potash is now in commercial form and ready for the market. H. S. Gale, of the geological survey, and B. s. Free, of the bureau of soils, recently took six samples of the potash to the Mackay school of mines in Reno, Ne vada, where it's value was revealed. The lake is dried up, but for thousands of years moisture has been supplied from the surrounding hills.

METHOD IN SELECTING
 CONVENTION CITIES

Globe was an easy winner in the race for the reunion city for the Elk next year, and to her delegation is due the congratulations of Elkdom and the thanks of their home city fol the effective and enthusiastic way in which they urged upon their brothel Elks the advantages of that hustling city. The result was a unanimous vote for Globe. The withdrawal O. Phoenix from the contest was a tact ful and wise move on the part the delegation from the capital city and made friends for the Phoenicians among the Elks from other parts o1 the state.
 The state fair to be held at Phoenix will be annually the Mecca for ever larger crowds than have gathered ir the past at the territorial fairs. Ii is only fair to other Arizona cities that they should share among them the various state conventions. Thus vii the honors be distributed and Arizon- ans in their annual excursions will see not one, but all cities of the new state The state fair is a poor time to hold conventions of any kind, for visitors to Phoenix are bent upon seeing the fair and have little time for side at fractions.
 Tucson is naturally a favorite as 2 convention city because of the pleas ure her citizens take in being host to their fellow Arizonans, and tn central location of the city, with its excellent railroad facilities makes it easily accessible to all parts of the state.
 E. M. Dickerman is the recipient of many well-deserved congratulations and best wishes-TucsOn Citizen.

WILL HUNT LIONS
 WITH TRAINED DOGS

Prescott, Mar. 22.-M. Williams a resident of Yettern, Cal, arrived ir the city Sunday and comes on an in teresting mission, that of lion hunting in the western part of the county. He brings two valuable dogs that are es pecially bred for the work of biz game hunting, and he was induced to make the trip by Joe H. Stephens who is in Los Angeles and who tender ed him the use of his Tank Greet home as an operating base. In that region the mountain lion abOunds in great numbers and in recent years has been a source of much trouble, as well as loss to rangemen in valuable colts and calves being killed
 MT. Williams will remain for sev- eral weeks, leaving yesterday for the above cattle ranch. His dogs are valued at $2O0 each, and show the marks of being highly bred They are very docile. MT. Williams state that once on the trail, they readily dis tinguish the scent of whether their prey is large or small, andsthey have a decided instinct for attacking any animal of the carniverous class, sucf as wolves, bear or the lion. They al ways work together, and when once on the trail they never desist in following their game until they come upon it Then the combat ensues. MT. Will liams is anxious to get his dogs into action no matter what the nature of the big game is. The bigger the better with an especial preference for bear or lion.

SCHOOL BOARD MEETING
(From Mondays Examiner)

(From Mondays Examiner)
 The board of trustees of the Union high school met this afternoon to con- slider the matter of calling on the peo- pie to vote for a bond issue to build a Union high school.
 The beard alreaoy owns a lot, but this would have to be graded.
 Talking to a member of the board this morning. the Examiner learned that it was the consensus of opinion of the board that about S25,O00 or $3O,- 900 would be about all that they would have to ask for at the start. as tLey figured that they could build the center of building, that could later be added to with wings for an amount within that sum. They have in mind about an eight room building of eith- CT brick or concrete for a starter, but built in conformity with modern plans for high school buildings, with an eye to laboratory furnishings, modern con veniences, etc., and we'll built, so that at any time in the future when it be- comes necessary to add to it, it can be done without trouble or extra ex- pense.
 The Examiner could not secure the information as to the action of the board in time for this afternoons pa per, but anything along the above line should meet with the hearty approval of all concerned, and every tax payer and citizen should vote for the bonds especially in view of the fact that the bonds will be eventually paid by the next generation, or rather the gener ation who are now boys and girls.

SELLS-FLOTO CIRCUS

tFrom Mondays Daily Examiner)
 "Rinaldo," the ballroom horse is going to visit Yuma. 'Rinaldo" is the only living equine that can dance he two-step. Horses have been tdI 'ated to do a great many things since they became prime factor in the world of amusements, but no horse really danced until "Rinaldo" came lpon the scene.
 He is a handsome blood-bay horse 1red along the Kentucky saddle lines In performing this difficult act, he actually keeps time to the music whether the metre be fast or slow.

RAILROADS MAY PULL
 OFF THE FLYERS"
TOO MANY ACCIDENTS ON AC- COUNT OF BROKEN RAILS TO SUIT THE OFFICIALS.

Chicago, Mar. 22.-Fast passenger trains of the "Canon Ball" and the Flyer" variety, now operated at high speed to accommodate travellers, who are in a hurry, may be eliminated as a result of a plan under considera- ton by the presidents of a number of railroads, who are aroused over re ports relative to the high percentage of broken rails.
 Numerous wrecks have occurred on account of the breaking of rails, and rail manufacturers are being taken to task for producing an inferior prod uct.
 The railroad officials say that un- less an improvement is made it would be the part of wisdom to eliminate record-breaking passenger trains rath- CT than risk further wrecks.

Did you ever stop to think of all the best things in life come without cost to ourselves? They are given freely. The things that in their value are without money and beyond price are also in the method of their ac- 1uisition without money and without price Every life is rich in the meas Ire that it has discovered and posses ses these treasures. A man may pay many thousands of dollars for the painting of a sunrise, and yet it never will be nearly so beautiful, so inspir-
 ing, so valuable as the sunrise itself, a spectacle which the poorest may en- toy without the expenditure of so much as cent. All our works of art, costly as they may be, are but imita- tions of the originals which, while far exceeding them in beauty, may be ours for the taking.
