And to the elderly man who accompanied her she re- marked: “They forget that it costs a dollar and half to see me out of bloomers.” ste ‘The Road Agent Honored the Pass. From the San Francisco Call. Tom Fitch, ex-Governor Zulick and Judge Fitzgerald met yesterday in the corridor of the Pulace Hotel, and renewed anacquaintance that was begun when all three were prominent in the politics of Arizona. When Fitch was lo- cated at Prescott in the practice of the law the northern and central portions of the territory were overrun by roving bands of desperadoes, chief among whom were a large number of gents, who infested the stage lin mt id upon the passengers. From time to time they wer apprehended and brought up for triel, and Fitch was almost invariably re- tained for the defense. In nearly every instance he succeeded in clearing them, and in their eyes soon grew to be quite a hero. It chanced that in the fall of '87 an Englishman Groped into Prescott on his way to Phenix, and while lingering in the former place made the ac- quaintance of Fitch, with whom he was soon upon the most friendly terms. Before leaving by stage for his destination stories of the ex- loits of the road agents reached his ears, and, coming alarmed, he broached the subjec. to Fitch in conversation. “Pretty bad customers {ust at this time,” said the latter with great earnestness, “but I will give you safe conduct to Phenix in the shape ‘of a written pass.” ‘The Englishman jumped at the id in jest the Was given.

Ina. small. room ay where this series of shelves might be put up, the corners cut off, so that a three-sided shelf is the result, and if it were painted like the woodwork of the room it would be both pretty and useful as a washstand. AN IDEAL PLAY HOUSE. In this cottage the family lite goes on all summer, and as several children are included in the number to be provided for a large play house has been built off by itself, which is pic- turesque outside and in and an ideal place for children, The house is all in one large room, with fire- Place and high fender to protect it; bei seats and several tables of various eights.

There are of shelves for books well filled’ Shelve for games and shelves for all sorts of children’s collecti On the mantel ave big cylinder vases of birch bark, which can be got. in quantities in the woods about. Ever xo many pictures are on the wall cut from the illus- trated papers, both colored and in black and white; these have been ingeniously framed by tacking a narrow strip of Turkey 1 on the edges by way of a frame, giving a bright and pretty finish for such a place. AN AMBITIOUS coTTAGE. One of the cottages has been more ambitious than its neighbors, and the living room of the others is the dining room of this, with an ad- mn built on for a little parlor. This is a y little room with ceiled walls with shellac ish. A mantel shelf has a deep plaiting of eretonne. There isn pretty set of furniture with woven backs and seats and frames of light wood in shellac finish; also wicker tables with footstool The pictures, of which there are a number in the room, are of interest to a Washingtonian specially, being a set of photographs from intings in the Corcora:: Gallery, all prettily framed alike in oak. The larger room has, in addition to the furnishings for a dining room, a large divan covered with chintz with ever xo many pillows, a form of luxury, however, which is avoided by the other cottages, who prefer to keep to the original simplicity of the camp and the primi- tive furnishings of the fishing lodges. Turkey rugy are also indulged in at this cot- tage, but in the others only bare floors or at the most a few of the braided and other home- made rugs of the country abou: are tolerated. of the sorts is day the bearer of the mfo conduct took his sent in the south-bound coach, and when Black Canon was reached five masked men stepped into the road and with cocked Winchesters ordered the driver to stop.

Glancing at it to assure him self that the signature was genuine, the robber roughly ordered the bearer to stand aside, and informed him that if he would make no demon- stration he would not be molested. He obeyed with alacrity and not a cent was taken from him. After emptying the mail bag and express box and taking everything of value from the other passengers the robbers loaded them all into the stage and ordered the driver to hurry on to the next town. When they reached Phonix the Englishman was the only indi- vidual on the stage who had acent of money or an article of jewelry left upon his person. see. chee A Thrifty Queen. From the London Queen.

One night, lately, a pretty little fete was given at this lodge in honor of the birthday of the host and the Fourth of July combined. The wide | porch was hung with lanterns, which looked very pretty aa the guests approached in Indian file through the narrow woedl path carrying lanterns themselves to them over the rough way. Inside the cottage lent iteelf most _gracefull effective dec- oration of ferns, which are particularly luxuriant all about here. ‘The open-work rail- ing of the staircase was twined with them, the mantel was almost buried under them, the b round-faced clock peered out from a ‘garland of them, while vases and bowie filled with them were set in all available places. The table had & centerpiece of them, while delicate fronds were scattered singly over the white cloth wherever there was a vacant space. It wasa picturesque little entertainment and was thor- oughly enjoyed by the small and appreciative party of guests bidden trom outsid OCCUPATION OF THE LADIES, ‘The ladies sojourning in camp have armed themselves with # variety of employments for the days, which never drag, however, but seer: rather to fly, and a pretty collection of em- broidery is under way all the time, though the distractions of fishing, boating, walking and lounging prevent too steady app! on to any one occupation on the part of any one.

The reproductive portions—pistil, petal, stigma, calyx and corolla—are only modified leaves. Now and then, as if for the very purpose of proving this proposition, a green rose is devel- oped with leaf-like petals, and it is the same way with other things vegetable—they all re- vert occasionally to their primitive forms. “The other grand discovery made by Goethe was in the philosophy of the animal kingdom. One day. while walking through the fields, he came upon the skeleton of a beast that had died. A practical anatomist, if hehad paused to consider the remains, would have discussed with himself merely the relation of the bones, but the poet viewed the whole framework of the animal that had been with the enlarged vision of a theorist. While doing so the fact dawned upon him, recognized at this later day by science, that the skull of the creature was, after all, only an — vertebra or ex- panded section of the backbone. The concla- sion immediately followed that the brain was but a magnified portion of the spinal cord. “Thus was a new discovery in the philosophy of nature first hit upon. Science now recog- nizes itas truth. Just as the flower is only a laaf modified for reproductive purposes, $0 the brain is simply an extremity of the spinal cord exfoliated into an elaborate, highly convoluted organ of thinking. CONVOLUTIONS OF THE BRAIN. “Did you ever think what is meant by what we call the convolutions of the brain? Take the brain of a chicken—a creature proverbially stupid—and you will find that it is nearly ooth. The brain of a man, on the other hand, is so co with worm-like convolu- tions as to resemble so much maccaroni. Now, Iwill show you by a little sketch what these convolutions signify. ; ““Letime have your penciland note book.

The forest primeval becomes ‘woodlands,’ while the new ‘forest’ includes only cultivated woods. WHAT NATURE WOULD Do. “If left without interference by man nature would keep the entire earth covered with for- ests, save only a few localities. The treeless ness of the great central plains of the United States has been accounted for by the deficiency of rainfall, and the belief is generally held that by reason of this lack of moisture trees can ever grow there. Nevertheless the conclusion does not of necessity follow. There ix excel- lent cause for belieVing that these prairies were not always treeless, and that their nakedness might once more be covered by ‘the adoption of proper means to that end. The barrenness occasioned by prairie fires and herds of trampling buffalo may yet be made fruitful. You must remember that the entire earth is a Rotential forest.
