Tho Oriental Order of Humility Wlilcli nourished in Tucson .some Twenty Ycurs Ajfo It was twenty years ago, Tucson was the capital, anil tho legislature was in scision. Times wore lively, ilrinks weio two bits anil the "tliinl house" vvivs quite as busy as its legalized con temporaries. Among the members of this paiticti liir hotly was one Henry Uigolow, from l'rcscott, of pleasing appearance, tall, with long, heavy black beard and a fairly musical voice, a man to impress ouo in address. He was also fond of a practical joko of the deeper class for many of which ho was quite as pecu liarly litted as iu his duties as lobbyist. Soon after his arrival iu Tucson talk was about of a certain new secret so ciety. "It is the best thing out; the very best I have over seen," said a nieinb. "Talk about your Masonic , fraternity, its symbols, its protection and its fellowship, it doesn't compare with our Oriental Order of Humility" cald another. The society did seem most popular, and no sooner did a man become a member than his praises were of tho loudest. "So scciet! so deep! so mysterious!" Its ranks swelled all being anxious topenctratcitsdeplhs, anil awful mysteries. An ex-member tells of an initiation: "Wc all stood around the candidate, each incognito from our black masks and robes. All was Hilemn, still, iin pi essivc. Higelow as head of the order stood before the candidate anil drew from him the most impressive oaths of .solemn seercey, and the candidate would shudder as Higelow said in his deepest voice: 'Let tho grand final cer emony bo performed!' All around was deathly quiet. Not one of the solemn black figures moved. Tho candidate could hardly breathe for the awfulness of tho occasion. Frightened and won dering he was prostrated before a black cut tain near. Down and down, till his head touched the lloor. Still the masks did not move. They might have been of stone. Invisible hands drew back tho curtain, and tho candidate lifted his head and gazed oil tho em blem of the order; a dilapidated bono stood before his astonished gaze. Then a laugh so loud and heaity that the dupe gaed at the beast again. No, it was not the animal; only the masks, but how tlic enjoyed it! They almost doubled, fimflrsMially at this portion of the situation tho candidate demanded that ho bo released. 'One more signal my brother,' said Higelow; ouo more signal, and then you are one of the mysterious and wonderful order. And now my brother, learn the signal of distress. Will the brethren kindly show tho candidate tho sigual of dis tress, that ho may repeat, if likewise iu distress.' Each of tho figures placed his thumbs on his hips, and slowly waved his hands back and forth in im itation of an animal iuoing its cars. 'This means that the emblem of order, otherwise the member, is athirst, and would drink,' said thu chief. 'Are the brethren athirst? If so give the sign of tho order.' The brethren were of cour&o athirst, and tho candidate was supposed to acquiese iu their feeling, provided ho followed by tho signal of the distress, when asked to 'show how it is done.' Invariably ho showed the method, and o(T camo the masks. Al most bodily tho candidate was carried to the best bar iu town. Two bits a drink meant $30 $00 or even $100 for tho relief of tho distressed brethren, nnd then plans were laid to take iu an other candidate. Tho laic dupes were of cotirso most anxious toat others be caught, a preacher being among thoso iuiatiated, who begged for dear life to bo released when the emblem of the order was introduced. That bar made thousands of dollars from the Oriental Order of Humility." Citizen. JXrOH.MATlOX l'OIl A TJtAVJXlUt. XVhy 3Ir, Churchill, of London, Do cldccl to A'lBlt Arlzonn. "Don't go to Kuropo until you have seen all of this great land," said Fretl ctick Bond; guest at the Itichlictt. "That would not take long," au swerd Thomas Churchill, of Loudon. "You have no idea what you arc talking about. Englishmen como over here and stay a day or so in New York, go to Niagara Falls, enjoy half a dozen hours in Chicago, visit onu or two of tho thriving western cities, then end tho trip with a few days at San Fran cisco. That is i hat some of them call doing America. Hut you miss half of tho sights. I was with a pat ty riding over Arizona a few weeks ago, when wo made a discovery which paid us for tho long horseback jaunt. . "W'v had tiavcled about live miles over tho Apache bad laud, when we found a lake entirely surrounded by rndiaus. Tho color of the lake was brown, and its cool breezes were of a most fascinating odor. Wo were sur- ptised to see half of the Indians with their heads in tho water; the other half were dancing and yelling as if on the warpath. Our guide tilled a tin pan with the contents of the lake, and wo drank it; I never drank such a pleas ing liquid in my life. If there had been a cherry in the bottom of the pan I would have taken an oath that wo were tasting cocktails. Wo carried a panful to town, and as a fact you could 'lot distinguish it from a manhattan cocktail. It was tho most mysterious incident that I ever came across, but the phenomenon is easily explained b the Atizoua sages. "In prehistoric days that country was covered with prickly pears or cac tus, from which mescal is distilled. Tills growth was covered with water and iniiil, and heat and chemical forces of the earth's interior worked upon the process of distillation, just as oil is formed beneath tho oaith's shell. Some volcanic force pushed it out of tho ground, and it was not'iing more than a whiskey geyser. It disappears now and then, but can bo found about half the time." Do you suppose it is tliero now?" quickly asked tho Englishmen. "Certainly." "Then I'll change my route and take in Arizona." Chicago Herald. Of feminine Interest. Iu thirty of the largest cities of the country there arc now well equipped cookiug schools.

Following tho example of India and Japan, tho Siamese are about to estab lish a school for native gills of high rank under the management of En glish ladies. To Lady Drook, tho noted English beauty, is due the founding of a school of needlework for poor girls near Eas tern, in the midst of a poor agricultural district. The school has been very successful. Mine. Modjcska has more faith in art than in'mere feeling of the stage. She is quoted as saying: "Hut I alwas act worse when I feel most. Feeling is all very well in a way, but it should not dominate a part. Acting is, after all, a littlo bit of feeling added to a great deal of ait." The gallant young gentlemen of the St. Louis Medical College recently handed iu a petition to the dean pray ing for the exclusion of the lady stu dents from the institution. The dean gave the petitioners their choice of withdrawing their names from the pa per or leaving tho college. Fraulein Helenc Langoof Hcilin has proposed to the (Jennau government that all girls bclwe.su tho ages of 18 and 52 years shall be compelled to servo ono year as nurses iu tho hospital, at tendants iu the people's kitchens, the kindergartens, the homes for nurses, governesses and servants in order to increase the number of capable nurses and attendants necessary iu war times.

Taken altogether the past year stands as the most striking iu the history of the foreign trade of tho United States. It is really remarkable iu how many different ways the year is distinguished beyond all other years aud takes first rank. Tho Bureau of Statistics hxs this week furnished the statement for De cember and the twelve months, and by compatiug it with tho statements for the j cars preceding we discover a num ber of very prominent characteristics. To cite only the more important ot these, wc find- First That wc exported more wheat and Hour than ever before in any pe- liod of twelvemonths. Second That we also exported more cotton than in any previous year. Third. That our total merchandise exports have never been equaled. Fourth. That our imports havclike wiso been unexcelled. Fifth That the total trade (imports and exports combined) is far iu excess of that of any other year. October was tho first month to break the record, with exports of $102,877, 213. This was followed in November by still better results, namely, a total of $110,103,537, and now for December as stated, we have an aggregate but a triile below $120,000,000 Financial chronicle.

In computing a mail's age Chiuamcn always reckon two years back from the day w hen he celebrated his first birth day; or, iu other words, as though he were a year old at the time of his birth.

Yuma! What recollections the uamo itself brings up! Yuma, where they dig for wood and climb for water; where they chop wood with a sledge hammer, cut hay with a hoe,, and plant corn with a crowbar! Where there are more Mexicans than Americans, and more Indians than cither. Where tho thermometer "seldom gets above one hundred aud eighteen degrees in tho shade," and where the wicked Yumaito iu shcol sent home for his blanket. Where- tho seat of honor is the left hand, and the railroad hotel gives the traveler tender beefsteaks. Where the liver is the color of the earth, aud the earth the color of tho water. Where steamboats run comfortably on moist sand, and the prisoners iu the peni tentiaries keep store iu Iho prison yard. Where tho girls arc "tough" and the boys are "gentlo and refined." Where they eat strawberries in Jan uary, aud where tho desert blossoms (sometimes) liko tho rose. Where the rainfall is less in a year than it is in Oregon iu a da-, and irlicro the old mdn pitch pennies and fly kites. Where the Indian man is practically peaceful aud clean, aud where tho en tire world seems topsy-turvy. Such is Yuma, a no-man-s laud, where Califor nia aud Mexico meet Ventura Free Press. Tho Dead Soldiers. The bones and dust of tho men bu ried iu the different post graveyards throughout Arizona and New Mexico will probably soon be gathered togeth er in one camping ground, in the na tional cemetery at Fort Leavenworth. Tho government has advertised for bids for their removal and the work of dig ging up, disinfecting, re-boxing, etc., has begun iu sonic of the long ago abandoned posts. From Fort defiance there passed through Albuquerque, this week, 32 boxes with tho dust of bravo boys who 40 years, ago reported to the Great Captain on the Other Side. How light they were! Those wooden tents and all that was left of tho stalwart fellows who in those days stood bc- tween tho Indian and Mexican, 3.5 pounds! It seems cruel to disturb them. Restless and uncertain in life, iu death their camp is but a bivouac, jet it is best that before the inarch of eivih'zr tion shall quite .stamp out their halting place, they shall find sepulture in con secrated ground.

Secretary of War Elkins knows it thor oughly and caunot but be alive to tho great advantage such a point would bo in treating certain diseases.

Times. l'roiipcctors Itctiirn. A year ago four miners left Globo for South America, two of them, Host- man and Morton, were wcll-knowned in Tombstone. One of the paity has returned to Globe and tells the Silver Belt of the wanderings of the nartv. They landed at Pccasmayo, Peru, and outlined at Gaqamarca, an inland citv of Peru, from whence they struck out for the land of promise to the cast ward. Three of them were taken sick and left behind at different places aloii" tho route. The rumor of their ha in" been attacked by Indians aud several of the party killed, which was circula ted here last fall, was without founda tion. They had no serious encounter with the natives, who except in tin- most remote localities are not very dangerous. As regards the discovery of precious metals the party were much disappoint ed, having found no Iedjrcs or iilaccin of importance, and in their travels they met a party of Chilean prospectors who had been out two years without dis covering anything of importance. upon reaching the naw'gable waters of the Amazon, Schmcling and Morton embarked iu a canoe, in which they traveled down tho king of rivers a dis tance of 1,500 miles. Morton stonned at a large town on the Amazon, and Schmcling continued his iourm-v to Pera, where lie tookpassagconastcam- er bound for New York.
