A most commendabe enterprise is fast
approaching completion in New York.
The project for hotel for women, which
was planned aud started by A. T. Stewart,
has been vigorously carried out by Judge
Hilton, and it is expected that the struct-
ure will be ready for occupancy in the
fall. A number of large stores which
occupy the ground floor are nearly COM
pleted, and some of them already rented.
1t is expected that the proceeds from
them will 60 far toward defraying the
expenses of the hotel. The second and
third floors have large and handsome
offices, parlors and reception rooms which
are finely frescoed and painted. All of
the rooms are large and well lighted and
ventilated, and each has gas and running
water. This novel enterprise of conduct
ing hotel exclusively for women is
something of an undertaking, but those
interested in it are quite sanguine of sue
cess.


1t will be conducted upon the Euro
pean plan, and will be under the direc-
ton of matron. At large restaurant,
which will be connected with the hotel,
a guest may piocure such food az her
purse will warrant. The rooms will be
rented for single night, or for week,
or month, and the prices will be
placed at the lowest limit possible. 1t
is expected that most of the occupants
will be of the laboring classes, but any
women of responsibility may obtain ad-
mittance Of necessity, the hotel will
have rules which will be rigidly en-
forced; chief among these is that requir-
ing cleanliness of dress and person. AS
the hotel is amply supplied with laun-
dries, bathing-rooms and an abundance
of water, there will be NO excuse for un-
cleanliness, and dismissal from the
house will be the penalty of violation
Of this rule. 1t seems to us that there is
no reason why such an enterprise should
not succeed. Aside from being very
laudable undertaking, it will supply a
want long felt by women whose necessi-
ties cblige them to frequent New York
on business, and whose resources are not
adequate to the demands of the ordinary
hotel; also, for those who wish for
more retirement than they could find
elsewhere, and for many other reasons
1t is hoped that so praiSeworthy an ad-
venture may meet with success.-TOledo

Every variety has some one point
or points which demand long breed
inc and patience to acquire, and on these
should attention first be fixed, and kept
there, gradually giving attention to
others, not by turns, but as fast and no
faster than the increased number Of birds
are good iu the first point, and therefore
admissible to breed from, enable selec-
ton for the second and subsequent points
TO be made. In this way every year will
show steady improvement in the pro-
portion of birds tit for exhibition, and
after the first two seasons that improve
ment will be so rapid as to be almost be-
yond belief.


One thing, however, is obvious. The
best birds, from the breeding point of
view, must never be sold, but kept for the
breeding yard, for man cannot reason
ably expect to make any marked progress
who is constantly selling what represents
neaaly all the ground he has gained. And
on the average this will not be found to
sacrifice even in the shape of sales, since
it will frequently happen that the birds
nearest to show standard, and, therefore,
the most salable and valuable merely for
show or sale, are not those to be kept for
breeding during the early stages. For
instance, going again to our Brahmas, we
have seen even at first these birds want
feather or some other point But the
best birds for show at this stage will
probably be those which are worse il
color but better in general average of
points. Later on, when a higher degree
of perfection is secured, the best for
breeding will also be the best for show
by this time the amateur will have plenty
both to breed from and to sell also

GREAsING WAaoNs.--A good wagon
costs considerable sum, and should be
properly cared for and made to last as
long as possible. Few persons under
stand the Importance of thoroughly lu.
bricating the axles, ETC., of wagons and
carriages, and still fewer know which
are the most suitable lubricators to use,
and the proper way of applying them.
A well made wheel will endure ordinary
wear from ten TO twenty-five years, if care
Is taken to use the right amount of the
proper lubricator, but if this matter is
not attended to wheel will be used up
In five or six years. Lard should never
DC used on a wagon, for it will penetrate
the hub and Awork itself all round the
lemons Of ths'spokes and spoil the wheel.
Tallow is the best lubricator for wooden
Getrees, and castor oil for iron. When
olling an axletree, the spindle should be
wiped clean with u cloth wet with spirits
of turpentine, and then apply few
drops Of castor oil near the shoulder and

A CLOCK THAT STRIKES THIRTEEN.--
The duke of Bridgewater was very fond
of watching his men at work, especially
when any enterprise was on foot. When
they were boring for coal at Worsley the
duke came every morning and looked on
for long time together. The men did
not like to leave off work whilst he re-
mained there, and they became so dis
satisfied at having to work so long beyond
the hour at which the bell rang, that
Brindey had difficulty in getting a suf
ticieut number of hands to continue the
boring. On inquiry, he found out the
cause, and communicated it to the duke
who, from that time, made point of i'm
mediately walking off when the bell rang,
returning when the men had resumed
work, and remaining with them usually
until six o'clock. He observed, however,
that though the men dropped work
promptly as the bell rang, when he was
not by, they were not nearly so punctual
in resuming work, some struggling in
many minutes after time. He asked to
know the reason, and the mems excuse
was, that though they could always hear
the clock when it struck twelve, they
could not 50 readily hear it when it
struck only one On this the duke had
the mechanism of the clock altered so
as to make it strike thirteen at one
o'clock, which it continues to do to this
day.

The estimated value of the sales of
pictures in New York during the past six
months, according to the Herald, is over
million of dollars. The sum sounds
large, but it is probably not exaggerated.
Most of the sales were at second hand
and very small part of the money went
into the hands of artists.

The Glorious Fourth of July will as it has for many years past in Tucson, have some fitting recognition. Yesterday Mir. Samuel Hughes, II. Ou, A. Levin and some others to us at this moment un- known, decided something must and should be done to at least give the chil- dren holiday and good time. As a a programme has been ar ranged by which the children will meet at Levin's Park at o'clock a. m, when the Declaration of Independence will be read by a school boy, and very short speeches will be free to all. A lunch will be served to the children, and music for them 10 dance by all day. In the evening there will be fireworks and dance free to all the old folks.

 Now this is modest sort Of a pro- gramme but one that admits Of old and young having much enjoyment in a nice park, with little fuss and expense to any body.

Next Wednesday Is the day. As yet, no formal preparations for celebration have been made. MT. A.

With these volunteer attractions. there seems hardly a necessity for any other proceedings. When Levin sets him. self about il, he can provide amusement Jas we'll as beer) for the town. And in this way he often proves that he Is a pub- lie benefactOr.

REpLANTING CoRN.-An intelligent
neighbor of ours. who hos for years been
making experiments with corn, has dis
covered an importance and value in re-
planting corn which is quite novel and
worthy of publication. We have always
thought replanttca1 corn was Of very little
consequence, but this gentleman says
" it is of SO much consequence he replants
whether it is needed OF motor, rather,
he plants two OF three weeks after the
crop is planted hill every fifteenth row
each way" He says; eff the weather
becomes dry during the alling time, the
silk ahd tasse1s both become dry and
dead In this condition, if it should be-
come seasonable, the silk revives and re-
news its growth, but the tassels do not
recover. Then, for want of pollen, the
new silk is unable to fill the office for
which it was designed. The pollen from
the replanted corn is then ready to sup
ply the silk, and the filling is completed. "
He says nearly all the abortive ears, SO
common in all corn crops, are caused by
the want of pollen, and he has known
ears to double their size in this second

The tiny snow-drifts melting fast,
The breath of south wind floating past;
The crimson IN the maple shoots,
The golden crocus at the roots;
The yellow ON the willow wands,
The green of grass along the ponds;
The swelling buds, the blue birds note,
The dandelion on the moat;


The earthly color of the stream,
The warmer flush of sunrise gleam
The dampness of the upland mold,
The new life in the open void;
The song of bird, the hum of bee,
The dawn of woodland melody;
The brighter glitter on the hills,
The rapid rush of little rills;
The morning hoar-frost On the hedge,
The MONDAY drops upon the sedge;
The changing color of the vine,
The fresher hue of mountain pine;
