How to Wash the Porch

In the Woman's Home Companion. a writer says:
 ,'The one thing about our porch which prize most, both for cleanliness and convenience sake is water faucet with 10 feet of hose attached for washing the porch. Ours is second-story sleeping porch We had the floor lined with watertight joints and have trough at the outer edge connected with the drain spout from the roof. The bottom rail, holding the wainscoting, is four inches from the floor Suspended from this rail by hinges. we have four-inch strips which open out and let the water drain quickly from the porch floor. Having copper screen wire, the screening can be washed at any time. and all dust which accumulates can be quickly washed away eve would not do without this convenience which was our own thought and plan.)

Playing the Bearo in Mexico

w OTlQ OuIlOOh.
 This is the manner of courtship in Mexico. A young man sees a young lady on the street whom he admrres, and follows her home. Having reached her casa. he begins to play the bear" by walking back and forth in front of the house or standing on the street with his eyes fixed upon her windows for hours at a time, day and night alike.
 The Mexican young woman is coy, and, even if greatly interested, she will re- main back of the curtain. By the slight est movement of the curtains or blinds she gives sign that she is not entirely indifferent. After day or two she may even show her face or wave her hands as a further mark of encouragement, and, after several days, she may appear on the balcony for few moments If she goes to church the lover Is probap4y not far behind, and an occasional smile or glance from her eyes of midnight is given him as a reward for his faithful ness. Next come daily salutes and smiles when the lover appears. Flowers in which notes are concealed are sent py the aid of the water carriers or charcoal vendors.
 When the courtship has so far advanced that the lovers may talk, the moonlight nights are devoted to the love-making and several pairs of lovers can be seen on almost any street.-the on the side walk, she at the window Perhaps in the most casual way imaginable she may let her fingers slip through the bars, for there is just chance that mamma may be asleep.
 Later he may be invited to call at the house by the father or mother after a family council, if his antecedents are all right, for, of course, they have been in vestigated by the sagacious parents

The Ainus, the Celtic race of Japan live in the Island of Yeddo although the race has become so reduced that there are now not more than 16,000 or 17, 900 of them left in the country.

ADJUSTMENTS IN FIRST
 ARIZONA PICKING UP

PHOENIX, April Establishment in the Arizona infantry regiment now stationed on the border is picking up rapidly. Interest is increasing all over the State In the northern DOT ton patriotic meetings are being held when the national guard recruiting officer arrives in town. This work in the right direction will have its ef- feet on increasing the number of men in the regiment to the required num- Der, so that Arizona will not have to hang her head in shame when the call comes from the president for Ari- zona's share of the defense force. With a total of $ for the first eight days, encouragement is felt by tho officers in charge of this work. Addi- tional numbers have been obtained in those offices reporting direct to the regimcntal headquarters. The class of men cnlisting is very high both as to physical condition and intelligence. A regiment full of such men as have come in during the past week will be a pride to any State The fact that it is worth while to enlist in a healthy regiment Is being better understood now. It takes a few stories from the men who spent their time during the Spanish-American war in green regi ments, in sick camps to drive these facts home to the recruits. Arizona regiments are generally healthy regi- mcnts and the First Arizona is par ticularly so.

 Filled with a desire to fearn more of the country through which the Apachc trail leads, Mir. Hill carly last week fitted out an automobile and started a party in the direction of Four Peaks mountains. Mir. Hill, one of the old stage drivers of the trail had often heard stories of an old cave in the mountains where a large band of Indians had been annihilated by government troops from Fort Me Dowcll He had related this tale to many tourists, just for what 1t was worth, but the home folks were wont 10 take the story as an Indian fable.
 It was with difficulty that members of the party were finally able to To- cate the much-talkcd-oi cave. It was o hidden among the rocks and brush of the mountain that it was not dis ccrniblc until a person came almost 10 its mouth. For this reason, many hours were spent by members of the party within a stones throw of the cave before it was at last discovered.
 The sight which met the gaze oi the explorers on entering the cave was a ghaStly one. According to those who first entered, the floor oi the catc closely rescmbled m olG bone yard Here it was, according 10 the story, that about 80 braves were
