wards of $4,000 worth of money and
supplies among the fire sufferers.

THESE ARE ODD NAMES.
Ship cargoes of Old Had Strange
Destinations.

What are Nanliins, Boglepores,
S'nchaws. Lutestrings and Pelons?
No! They are not names of orien-
tai rags and lutestrings have 10 ref
Crence to musical instruments. Few
people in Boston can today tell you
what these names refer to, and yet
century ago every body in the city
had an intimate acquaintance with
them.
Lying at a Boston wharf on May
13. 1900, was the good ship Eliza,
Capt. Rowan, from Canton, China. She
was remarkably fast sailing vessel,
off the stocks less than four years,
with newly coppered bottom and un
usually well armed for a merchant
vessel of that time.
She had been in port but a few
days and on the date mentioned was
sold at public auction, together with
her cargo, by J. {: T. H. Perkins, a
leading firm Of auctioneers at the
time.
These facts are set forth in the
columns of Boston newspaper, the
Massachusetts Mercury, of May 13,
1900, and the advertisement an.
nouncins the nature of her cargo and
the sale appeared in print several
times before the date of the auction.

"WeIl," said Mr.. Scott cautiously,

everybody else was soon occupied
with setting up the croquet set Par

"Olive gets the first shot," they de-

"All right" she agreed. "Now, /
want to get through this first arch,
but it's on the hillside. so I'm going
to try shooting up the hill and give

Olive shot, and her ball rolled
neatly around the arch and off across

elected to look on and restrain the
enthusiasm of Gyp, her Spitz dog.
When Parsons had failed. the doc

"Well, how did you work that? ?" he
asked.
Everybody turned to look at Dick,
then inspected the serpent.
"He blew up a garter snake with

YIANDS FOR PICNIC

During the warm. days when the
heat and fatigue of our daily tasks
make us long for a breath Of coun-
try life, flavor of the unaccustomed
lends relish to life.
A days outing is just the thing
and the luncheon forms one of the
most important requisites for the
days pleasure.
Paper plates, cups and napkins
and set of aluminium knives and
forks and spoons, will equip the
lunch basket for many summer out
ing, at very little weight.
The different edibles should be
wrapped in waxed paper, the condi-
ments in pasteboard cartons or pals,
all of which can be thrown away
with the exception of the knives, ETC.,
when used.

for the picnic basket:

cream cheese until smooth, using a
wooden spoon, and season with one
eighth teaspoonful each of paprika
and salt, add four queen olives,
stoned and chopped. Shape into
twenty -four balls, using a teaspoon
full of each, roll in hard crackers,
pounded and sifted, and flatten.
Place halves of walnut meats on
each piece. Pack in layers on waxed
paper with cardboard between.
Stuffed TOmatoes-Dip tomatoes in
hot water and remove the skin, TAX
ing care not to cut the tomato. Place
on ice, and when chilled, remove the
inside and stuff with Neufchatel

In every town. Just inside the doors,

brown Javanese kris" makers, con-
structing and repairing the native
dagger with swift movements and an
indefatigable industry that is truly
amazing. Behind them stand racks
upon racks that bristle with daggers

nish out the town. More like armories
devoted to the storing and repairing
of deadly implements of war than like
"kris" shops. But they are eminent
ly peaceful in intent, for the kris" is
not now as much weapon as an or
nament.
Supposed to date back to the thir-
teenth century, when certainly its use
was most deadly, as Javanese history
recounts, it has came today to play
an all important part in the toilet of a
native. For no Javanese, from price
of the royal blood to the most humble
of subjects, would consider himself
fully dressed if he did not carry in his

 Brown is taking a couple weeks off. and is making himself useful cheering up the fans who get discouraged every other day when Phoenix drops a game
 One of his ways of doing this is to frame up a ball game Sunday. Accord ing to his nibs last night, there would be a number of former ball stars in the game. smiley and Krause will be in the box, with Ben Rudderow behind the bat. Bill Varley, Johnny Corboy. Brown hiz-self and a number of other previously famous ball players will wear the blue unies of Phoenix.
 The locals will probably be opposed by a Mesa-Tempe aggregation with Oviado pitching and Morris catching.
