Men and Woman.

As times go on we have the two re- suits to be anticipated Men reach the point-usually early in life-where business or politics absorbs their whole attention. and they have little time, strength or interest left for the broader culture and the amenities of life, while women are prone to be too much preoccupied with these things to the injury of the home--not, per haps, in it's smooth running. for ir the average American home the wheels of its machinery do usually run smoothly. though at great expense and to the iniury of the home spirit
 If the two could be averaged we should more nearly approach the ideal Men need more relaxation. more rest more variety, especially as they ad vance in life. Women need more con centration, more definiteness in their work. and especially more interest and a different kind of ideal in their home making.-Mrs. N. D. Hills in the American Woman and Her Home.

Assistant General Man ager of A. and E. Says High Line Cost
 Too Great
S7.0OO,O0O Is ADDED

TUCSON Feb. 22:-"So far as l have knowledge the Arizona Eastern will not make application 10 the de- partment Of the interior for pernS s. sion 10 build a railroad on the -aigh line through the Gila Box Canyon. said Assistant General Manager l.. II Long of the Randolph Lines today, in comment upon the Associated Press report from Washington that the de partment in it's decision allows the railroad to apply for the high line if 1t SD desires
 The contour Of the mountains at that point is such that we could not take advantage Of gentle curves but would have to buck right through putting our line in constant danger of slides and accidents of all char acters because Of the short, abrup; turns and heavy grade The in- creased cost of construction would be at least S7,000000.
 The whole question of the contest hinges on the feasibility of the reser- volr project. The position of the railroad is not one of antagonism to the farmers of the Florence and Casa Grande districts, for fl a great agri- cultural region could be developed there, the Arizona Eastern and South. ern Pacific would be among the chief beneficiaries. But we believe from engineering reports that the dam pro- ject is not feasible. and on that as- sumption have asked for the low-line right of way for projected railroad. p capitalization, forty-eight thousand

HOW BETHLEHEM WAS NAMED
Pretty Story of the Origin of the Pennsylvania City, Now h.
 dustrial Center.

It was not uniting that Bethlehem he center of missionary enterprise and social service should have the name of the birthplace of the Christ. But the name was given 1t under ioubly fitting auspices. In December, t741. Count Zinzendorf. the friend and protector of the Moravians in SaXony, came to visit them. The original log iwelling sheltered both the people md the cattle It was in this house hat they were sitting on Christmas eve. Suddenly Count Zinzendorf lrose and led the way past the parti- ion to the part where the cattle were tabled and there around the managers hey sang Christmas songs. After that hey could think of no name quite so fitting as Bethlehem.
 But in spite of church institutions Bethlehem is no longer a religious community. It is industrial. With the coming of industry have come condi- ions of which David Nitschmann, ounder of Bethlehem. never dreamed.
 It wasn't an example O. the old brotherhood when, in 1909, five men were discharged because they had igned a petition to the management ,f the Bethlehem Steel corporation lsking for the elimination of Sunday york. It wasn't an example of broth ,rhood when in 1910 another man was discharged for avoiding Sunday work md then three more because they ;erved on a committee that protested ,gainst this mans discharge.-John A. Fitch, in The Survey.

PURE FOOD LAW NOT MODERN
Centuries Ago Tradesnen Who Adul- terated Goods Were Most Severe
 iy Punished.

Pure food laws are not quite so modern an invention as We may be- lieve. Dr. Reisner has made dlscov- cries in Palestine that seem 10 in- dicate some sort of supervision of the food supplies delivered to the palace nearly 5000 years ago. Labels have been found that were once affixed to "a jar of pure olive oil" We may wonder what tests were employed and what would happen to the man whose oil was found to be not pure Prob ably something unpleasant. for there was no Supreme court in those days.
 We know what happened in the mid de ages 10 the enterprising tradesman who adulterated his goods. In 1444 a Nuremberg merchant was burned alive for mating foreign material with his saffron and the saffron itself was used for fuel Probably that artistic touch impressed the matter upon his memory.
 Some Augsburg bakers who used false weights and bad flour were ducked in Q muddy pool, and through a faulty knowledge of the human re- spiratory system. or sheer careless ness, they came to the surface dead.
 In 14S2 a wine merchant was or dered to drink six quarts of his own adulterated wine. and as he died soon after 1t is evident that the adultera- tion must have been serious. It is true that he had to finish the draft in a given number of minutes, and a small number at that, but in those days they had a pleasant way of weighing the scales and loading the dice upon the side of justice.
 Civilization has changed all that Nowadays we shiver with apprehen- sion lest. a rogue shall be punished.- San Francisco Argonaut.

Her Nationality.

In the lowest grade of New York public school the teacher was glean-
 ng from the children who had newly entered the class statistics of nation- llity for her annual report. They are extremely interesting in New York public schools, for they include young sters from every known corner of the globe. Having enrolled Germans. Syri- ans. Poles, Irish. Australians. Natal ans. Arabs, Montenegrins and others. the teacher asked a faxed haired mite hoping to hear the rare word Amer lcan"-"What are you, Fforencer" Mindful of her home training. Florence promptly and cheerfully' replied: I'm suffragette."

SUPREME COURT
 SEEKING ROOMS
Accommodations May Be Sc- cured on the Upper Floor of Phoenix
 City Hall
PROPOSITION IS MADE

HHOENIX Feb. Negotiations for the leasing of the upper floor of the city hall as quarters for the su- preme court Of Arizona are now in progress.
 At a special meeting Of the city council yesterday afternoon, Judeh Henry D, Ross spoke to the munici- pal fathers asking that they make some sort of a proposition. The judges had been requested by the state authorities to look about for quarters, he said, and the city hall was the most logical place, being a public building and near the center of the city.
 Judge Ross. did not know, however, just what the Board of Control was willing to do in the way of fitting up quarters. or what rental it would be willing to pay. He stated. how ever. that it was extremely unlikely the court could be housed at the capitol till another wing to the state building be added. That probably will be some years, therefore 8 long term lease on any suitable quarters might be made.
 Councilman Claude Cisney was ap- pointed a committee oi one to confer with the judges They. in turn, will have to confer with the Board of Control and it will probably be sever. al days before anything definite Is known.
 This morning Councilman Cisney with Judges Cunningham and Ross and Joe Dillon, clerk of the supreme court, made a thorough inspection of the rooms on the upper floor of the city hall Everything was measured with the idea of determining where the library should be placed, where the judges chambers should be and deciding other details.
 If the space is leased it will be nee essary for the fire department to find another meeting place. Fire mems hall probably will be the court library.

CUTTING DOWN THE FLESH
Heroic Struggles of Fat Man Who Thought the Scales Were

I lave about come to the conclusion that the good Lord intended some of his creatures to be fat and some thin, regardless of medicines and so-called infalhble cures. writes a western man. For a long while l tried all the alleged obesity cures lnd none Of them did me any goodk Then ! deter mined to starye myself and take lots of exercise.
 All my life I had been lover of good eating, and counted that day lost on which did not consume for my dinner the better part of a sirloin steak as thick as a darky's foot, with all the trimmings. For breakfast usually destroyed a platter of cakes, three eggs and no end of thin-sliced bacon, besides fruits and two cups of coffee.
 This lifelong system I abandoned for an entire month, cutting out all the meat and about all the vegetables, a piece of toast and glass of milk talk ing the place of my morning meals and little rice being the chief item on the measer Olnner Dlli or rare. Lunch I omitted wholly. In addition walked at least six miles every day and did all sorts of stunts in my room with a gymnasium outfit. Prior to going to bed l perpetrated all sorts { of muscular contortlons and rolled on the floor till my body was bruised
 At the end Of thirty days I felt fit to run a three-mile foot-race or go in the ring with the champion.

Not a Bad Precedent.

Some of the beauties of ancient Rome had marble busts sculptured or themselves, on which were placed dif- ferent wigs corresponding to the changes of style and coloring. IT modern woman followed suit there would be fewer atrocious coiffures.
 A mirror should reveal unbecoming- ness, but it does not seem to do so. A bust of oneself, bedecked with chig- non, psyche. Greek coils or the pres ent daguerreotype disfigurations, could not fail to be a convincing proof of ourselves as others see us.
 The greatest beauty cannot afford to trifie with her bairdressing. 1t ia only the plain woman who boldly de des looks to be in the style.

HORSE TAILS ARE IMPORTED
They Come From Many Lands and Are Used in Making Brushes
 and Cloth.

An item that seemed odd in the manifest of a steamer lately arrived from Japanese and Chinese ports was this in the list of her cargo from Tientsin: Fifty-fve cases of horse tails.
 As matter of fact horse tails, or the hair thereof. are a common ar- ticle importation into this country from China and from pretty much every other country on earth. The American market gets large quantities of them from China. but more from Russia; and horse tails are imported here from every other European country and from South America, from Australia, from all round the world. On the other hand there are more pr less American horse tails exported.
 From various causes the supply Of horse tails, like that of anything else, may in one country and another vary from year to year, and there may be years when the worlds supply Is short and years when 1t is plentiful. with corresponding changes in the range of prices. Horse tails have sold as low as 20 cents a pound and they have sold for as much as s2. If stocks are scarce and high in London, and ample at lower prices here. New York i'm porters ship horse tails to London; in the contrary circumstances London importers might ship horse tails here.
 Horsetail hairs are sorted for length and colors and they are used either alone or mixed with other fibers in the manufacture of various sorts of brushes and mixed with other ma terials in the manufacture of hair. cloth.
