DRY TOAST

It is fitting that each great epoch should have it's bard, to celebrate immortallY the fading glories and the dawning efful- gences. In our own Arizona it appears a momentous change is taking place, a departure from the traditions of centuries. It is the end of an old epoch. the be- ginning of a new. Doubtless there will appear the bard cele- brant, who will make famous his native land, his age and himself. THE NEWS favors one hot air poet, anonymous, whose effusion depicts with feeling and pathos and promise in the situation in Arizona:
 Lav the jest of the mint julep
 in the camphor balls at last, For the miracle has happened.
 and the olden days are past! That which made Milwaukee fa-
 nous will not foam in Arizona, And the lid in Colorado is as
 tight locked as can be; And the comic-paper colonel and
 his cronies we'll may sigh,  For the alfaIfa's waving gaiIy,
 and Arizona's gone dryl By the still side on the hillside
 in Kentucky all is still,
 And the only damp refreshments
 must be dipped up from the Till. Nawth Ca'lina's stately ruler
 gives hls soda glass a shove, And discusses local option with
 the So'th Ca'lina guy. It is useless at the fountain to be
 winkful of the eye.
 For the cocktail glass is dusty,
 and the south is dry! It is water, water. everywhere,
 and not a drop to drink!' We'll no more hear the music of
 the mellow crystal clink; When the Colonel and the Major
 and the General and the Jedge Meet to have a little nip. to give
 their appetites an edge; For the egg-nogg now is nogIess,
 and the rye has gone awry, And the punch bowl holds carna-
 tions, for Arizona has gone dryl All the night caps now have tas- . sels, and worn upon the head! Not the night caps that were ta-
 ken when nobody went to bed; And the breeze above the alfalfa
 is as solemn as is death. For it bears no pungent clove-
 tang on it's odorlfc breath; Each man can walk the chalk line
 when the stars are in the sky. For the fizz glass now is fizz iess and Arizona's dryl Lay the jest about the julep
 meath the chestnut tree at last, For there but one kind of drink, 
 and the older days are past. The water wagon rumbles thro Arizona on it's trip, And it helps no one to drop off to pick up the driyer's whip; For the alfalfa is still green. and the corkscrew hangeth high; All is still in city and village,
 Arizona has gone dry!

QuearTaxes Abroad.

There are some queer taxes imposed in some of the countries of the old world.
 In Serviaa vanity is taxed, a 40 per cent tax oh wigs, on rouge and on pads and bustles.
 Bachelors are heavily taxed in sev- eral countries. but spinsters every where escape this impost
 Matrimony is taxed in China, and the older the bridegroom is than the bride the greater the tax levied on him., Ii is the wise Chinese theory that when an old man gets young wife he is necessarily a rich old man and dSone well ablesto stand a heavy tax.
 In Italy salt is taxed. Matches are taxed in France. These things yield an enormous revenue, and the tax is very little felt
 Germany taxes music. If you play the piano you must pay a tax, and if you sing you are taxed again.

A NAV to MOO sieelpI. lI:,,.

The following method is described as one which is almost certain to woo slumber with success: On going to bed you assume comfortable Satti- tude in which every muscle is relaxed. but not the attitude in which you are accustomed to go to sleep, though something resembling it. Every move ment, coughing, yaWning. is strictly repressed, especially the desire to turn over. The same attitude is maintained without change, constantly resisting the longing to move or turn over. ~
 As a rule, by the end of fifteen or twenty minutes of this persistent main tenance of the same attitude you will find yourself growing very drowsy, ,.and then, just as the desire to turn over becomes absolutely uncont rol1a ble, you turn with the least possible effort and assume the position in which you ha- bitually go to sleep. and natural sleer follows at once. This method, it is claimed, seldom fails and should be given thorough trial, at least Before resorting to drug to bring sleep

NEW FIELD GUN Is
MODEL OF EFFICIENCY
BIGGEST SINGLE IMPROVEMENT
/
In ARTILLERY EQUIPMENT
FOR DECADE.

What is thought to be the biggest
single improvement made in the ar
tillery service in a decade is, says
Popular Mechanics, comprised in the
new field gun recently adopted by the
United States government. The car
rage Of this gun has double, o.
split rail, the word trail being used
to designate the long beam or prop,
that supports the gun on the ground
at the rear.
The old style single trail prevented
any great lowering Of the gun breech
and, therefore. limited the angle to
which the muzzle could be elevated.
With the split trail. the helves. and
any elevation of the muzzie that Is
necessary may be secured. BY means
Of q handwheel the gun may be swung
quickly and easily in wide horizon
tai arc without shifting the trail,
which is another great Improvement
over the old style carriage.
The gunners are thoroughly shield
cd by steel plates only two.tenths OF
an inch in thickness. but Of such
strength and touyhress that they can
not be penetrated by steel jacketed
needle-ncsed bullet fired from a SER
vice rife at a distance of one hundred
yards. Even the gunner who sights
the piece is not exposed. BY a sys-
TEN of mirrors and prisns the teie-
scopes sight Zigzags upward and
passes through q port in the shield a
foot or more above the gunners head.

Washington. d. c., June 27.--Ninety

recent times the course OF currents
has been laid to rivers and the Gulf
Stream chiefly to the Mississippi. In
actual fact about 1000 such rivers

of the air from east to west, known
as the trade winds. Winds blowing
