SOLID HOMES FOR PHOENIX
According to Report of the Home Builders Very Lit tie Wood Work is Enter ing into Newer Resi- dences in This City

The demand for homes exceeds any season in the history of Greene and Griffin. A better type of homes is being built as is evidenced by the rapid growth of Chelsea Place, Las Palmas and many other sections of Phoenix. Brick, stone and concrete are the rule and the solid appearance of Phoenix is due to this feature and the absence of frame houses which ale so common in the average new town. This point is best illustrated by the Home Builders, of which Greene and Griffin are the active agents. In the three years of its existence they have built well over enc hundred homes and only one of them is frame house.
 The demand for homes has resulted in a half million dollars being invest eG in the stock of this company with a large increase in the near future. At the present time they have $20.G00 in homes being built The last three to get under way are for Chas A. Jenner on Portland and Seventh ave nue: R E. Summers, on Mcdowell Road, west of Center street, and Mrs Sadie Morris, on Jefferson and Elev-

 In approximately every ward and township of this entire community may be found a beautifying of homes and property, that is deeply suggestive of the confidence of it's people. The Dor ris-Heyman Furniture company is one of the many splendid business houses of the Capital city, that is feeling the weight of these conditions, and far out into the great mining camps and other industries that are making Arizona famous, it is reaching the hand of trade

 A junior who Was not conscious of his humor stood up to open what ap- peared to be a short interlocutory ap- peal. Lord Ashbourne after sen- tence or two had been spoken inter- jected, Now, Mfr. -. why should we reverse the kings bench on a point like this?"
 My lord," rejoined counsel, there are six reasons why the order should be reversed"
 Then" sdid the president of the court, suppose we commence with your three best"
 No. my lord" said counsel: 'I could not consent to that because have ire quently succeeded In this court upon my bad points,"

The man who is unfortunate enough to lose his sight or to be born blind Is. says A medical authority, severely handicapped on dry ground, but he can, If he is swimmer. find his way easily enough in the water. Blind people generally have keen sense of hearing, and they can steer themselves In the water by sound as we'll as m ordinary man by sight. If they are swimming toward a certain point q whistle from time to time will enable them to reach 1t with unerring accu- racy. This fact has been proved by some interesting experiments. A race between blind men and ordinary, swim mers on lake resulted in a victory for the former. Normal swimmers lose much time in raising their heads for the purpose of keeping their eyes on the winning post. This also pre-
 vents them from concentrating all their attention on speed.-ESchange.

The hard contemporary fact is that the gloriously maned authors are be- coming sadly rare. even rarer than long haired actors.

The Ton Hat.

Although the beginning of the ''cylin- der of civilization" as 1t has been called, can be traced back to the Eliza bethan era, 1t is only about seventy or eighty years ago that the top hat of the present day reached Its final shape. Since then it has altered slight ly in the dimensions of the crown und the curl of the brirn. but the hat itself has remained essentially unchanged. The top hat seems to have had Its be- ginning in the habit of gallants in the Elizabethan period of cooking up one side. of their broad brimmed. high crowned felt or beaver hats and secur ing them with a jewel. The French court later developed this into cooking up three sides of the hat and fastening one with loop of ribbon. From this fashion came the cockade, now used only by grooms and footmen. The silk hat of today was born in France and supplanted the now nearly extinct beaver hat of practically the same shape. though considerably larger London Standard.

That monster is about eight feet long, his skin is brown and tawny, without any scales, all his mo- tions are like those of men, the eyes are a proportionable size, a little mouth, a large and flat nose, very white teeth, black hair and chin cov- cred with a messy beard, a sort of whiskers under the nose, the ears like those of men, fins between the fingers of his hands and feet like those of ducks. In a word he is q we'll shaped man.

The Swiss Navy.

Centuries before Germany was to be reckoned with as sea power Switzer- land possessed a fleet equipped for warfare. Eight hundred years ago. on all the larger Swiss lakes, armed gal leys were maintained by the rival can tons. Skilled shipwrights had to be imported from Genoa for the construc- tion of these vessels. some of which carried crews of 800 men or more. The largest of these fiotillas was maintain ed on the lake of Geneva, when the inhabitants of Geneva were at war with Savoy. Since the neutrality of Switzerland has been guaranteed by the powers there has been no need for war vessels on the lakes. The Swiss. however, possess a mercantile navy which carries a considerable amount of trade over the 342 miles of navigable waterways in the republic.
