University Scholarship.

An act of the first legislature of the state of Arizona, provides that each county in the state is entitled to one scholarship at the University at Tucson and the sum of one hundred and fifty dollars (S15O.OO) is appropriated to provide tuition, room and board for such scholarship each year.
 Under the provisions of this act I will hold an examination on the last Saturday in August (Aug. 31.) according to the rules and regulations prescribed. This examination is open to persons between the ages of six teen and twenty-five years of age who are graduates of the county high school or residents of the county who have com pleted a course equivalent to such high school four year course.
 The result of such examina- tion is then submitted to the president of the state university and on the award of the Univer- sity faculty a certificate is issued to the person passing with the highest record. Should the hold CT fail to accept the scholarship the next highest is entitled to it in the order of excellency.

 BOarders are received on the same conditions as in the other academies in this state.
 For particulars apply to Rev. L. Duval, pastor, Catholic church, or to Sister Cecilia, Superior of the Academy.

John and Bird Yoas were in Patagonia on Thursday. The boys are the picture health and they look like things are coming their way.
 A good story is told on the dry farmers of the Elgin region. It appears that cattle man who had been on the range for two days stopped at the home of a lady and wanted some water. The water had to be hauled eight miles and cost a dollar a barrel. The lady said that water was scarce but when he only wanted a drink, she kindly gave it to him. He said Lady how are you getting along dry farm ing?" She answered: We have not done much yet, but after the rains, we expect to raise Kaffir corn and sorgum." The man replied: ''The people around here won't eat that" She closed the door and he left.

Beet and Cane Sugar Growers.

In populous ceniers residents are apt
to forget conditions in the more agri-
cultural sections of the country and are
not given to considering the difficulties
the agriculturist has to overcome 70
wrest living from Mother Earth. !
just now there are several States
greatly interested in the beet sugar
question and what action Congress will
take in regard to putting sugar on the
free list. Such Commonwealths as
Nebraska and Michigan are vitality in
terested in the outcome of legislation
on this problem, and their cry for rec
ognition should be needed.
To-day there are thousands of farm
ers who look to their beet sugar crops
as their bread and butter. OF course,
the advocates of free sugar will claim
they are in such a small minority they
cannot be considered.
That is pure buncombe. 1t is only
necessary TO go back to last fall to see
what beet sugar did for the whole coun-
try. Just as soon as that commodity
was placed on the market the trust cut
its exorbitant prices. 1t was forced
to. Beet sugar competition saved the
consumers of the nation a vast amount
that otherwise would have gone into
the pockets of those who regulated the
prices of valuable food product.
With free sugar, this vast industry of
our own people would practically be
wiped out. Congress cannot afford to
take such action. Democrats will not
help their party by advocating it.
Rather they would advance their own
interests in doing what they can to
encourage more and more people to
engage in the business of growing sugar
beets.
There is still another section to be
considered, equally as vital That is the
effect free sugar will have on the bust
ness of the cane sugar man OF the
South. His interest should be safe
guarded as carefully as that of any
one else. His advancement has been
slow compared to that of the North
erner, and any legislation that would
hamper or retard him is to be deplored.

The Merry Whistle.

Perhaps the robins are not around as
plentiful as they will be later, or the
buds are bursting out in their joy of
balmy breezes. but the spring feeling
has arrived. Yesterday conductor on
the Mount Pleasant street car line felt
the happy effects, and it just exuded
from him, so that his passengers were
similarly affected. Gloom was banished.
With front and back door wide open,
he waited up and down the aisle
whistling as cheerily as any robin, and
the effect was about the same. One had
only to look at him, see his lips pucker
and know that he was thinking of the
grass turning green, the trees in beau
tiful new dresses, the buds bursting
forth in all their glory, albeit little
shy. Then when particularly low and
soft note issued forth it was not at all
difficult to imagine he had Tennyson's
world-known spring thought in his
mind, IN the spring 4 young mans
fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love" /"
All hail to the street car man, or any
other man, that can Danish the cold
thoughts of the past and can hail the
coming brighter and more beautiful
young days of 1912. He is public
benefactor, a spring tonic, harbinger
of the more mature days when the birds
will leave their nests, when Kill the
umpirep can be heard on vacant lots,
and the bathing suit is popular
Spring is here. The ground hog is
forgotten. Trains are again on time, or
should be. The conductor is whistling,
and all are glad.

HINTS ON GARDENING.

BY GEORGE FITCH

Constant care and watchfulness are

When the night comes chill and clear.
hasten out Immediately after supper and
puo your garden to bed Put pajamas
on the pea vines and mittens on your
beans. A sheet will protect the lettuce,
which is warm blooded. but great care
must be taken with tomatoes and cab
bages. They need muffiers, overshoes,
and woolen blankets. Put ear tabs on
the sweet corn, and incase the melon
vines in long woolen stockings. II you
have a cheap refrigerator, take II out
in the garden. The warm glow emanat-
ing from II will preserve your vegetables
and hasten their growth. You need not
put any ice In your refrigerator to ac-
compIish this though later IN the sum-
mer It will heat up much better with
about &c cents worth Of ice IN. II.
The hen has been alluded to with
more or less ioathing In several Of these

hatred OF all gardeners. Originally con-

made 1t her mission in life to hang
around gardens, stun herself with high
priced seeds and just her feathers in the

OLDEST WOODEN DOOR.
Said to Have Been Built for Church
at Rome 1900 Years Ago.

The Dominican order possesses in
Rome two churches OF great interest,
Santa Maria Sopra Minerva in the
heart OF the city, and Santa Sabina on
the Aventine.
The latter during the closing years Of
St. Domtnick's life was his home and
headquarters. But the church was al
ready very ancient when he took up
his abode there According TO the
Rosary It was built A. D. 425, during
the pontifcate OF st. Celestine.
Its founder is commemorated still in
the original mosaic inscription dating
from 43I on the western wall OF the
church inside the entrance. The mo-
sale even now is a splendid relic OF a
very far distant age.
Remains OF the second church are to
be seen In the western corridor, or
cloister, where are a number OF early
inscriptions; on one side the original
twisted columns OF pavonazzetto still
support the roof: on the other they
have been replaced by granite. 1t was
from a window in this cloister that
women were allowed TO look out upon
st. Dominick's orange tree.
The entrance door OF the church is
so ancient that II is said to be the old
est wooden door in the world; as II dates
partly from the fifth century. It may be
supposed to have been the original door
of the church built by Peter the Illyrian.

ORIGIN OF EVERY DAY CUSTOMS
Free Use of the Sword Hand-Me-

Certain customs in vogue at the present
day, such as shaking hands or Offering

able antiquity. II is said that Phoeni-
clans introduced the former habit into
Britain, and that upon the shores OF
Mounts Bay many a Bargain in tin be-
tween Eastern merchant and Cornish
man was ratified by this method of clasp
ing hands.
Certain other customs no less widely
observed have come down TO US from a
later period, says the London Globe. and
yet one sufficiently remote. In medic
val times he who shook hands. whether
in salutation or as a defensive measure
retaining the word hand while some
treaty was being arranged-must needs

So at the present time men pull of
their right-hand glove before shaking
hands with lady. The wearing OF glove
or gauntlet. indeed. at one period was
something Of challenge In itself; thus
no men wore gloves in the presence Of
royalty, an absence which indicated also
absence of hostile intent.
A similar idea in all probability ac-
counts for the habit of showing courtesy
by lifting or removing the hat Only
when no danger threatened would a war
rior in olden days venture to stand un-
covered; in the royal presence was safety

This token was perhaps a ring or some
jewel known to the lord OF the castle,
which would serve as guarantee for
the sincerity Of its bearer. In a less

Princes. Dead I'm Alm.hou.e.

From the Baltimore American.
The death OF Princess Marguerite,
daughter of King orelius Antony l. In a
poorhouse on the Danish island of Reya-
gade brings to light a romance known to
few, and half-forgotten even by these.
King orelius Antony I was the son of
a French butcher, who lived at Perigord,
the city of pies. His name was Antoine
Tounens. He studied law. but, having a
taste for adventure, set out for South
America. That was in 1861.
His wanderings took him to Araucania,
where he persuaded the inhabitants to
get up an independent monarchy and
make him king. This did not suit Chile,
which sent a force OF troops to Arau-
cania. King Orelius Antony was put in
prison and remained there until the
French government obtained his release.
His efforts to be reinstated on the vacant
Araucanian throne were futile, and the
former King returned to France and OBJ
tanned employment
