They come here because OF the superb
climate which We enjoy during the win
ter months, and which has been re-
newned since the time OF Nero. who, in
the nrst century OF the Christian era,
sent his wife POppsa here TO recruit.
The weather here, 81 any time IN De-
sember, is like that OF the Indian
summer in the United ststes We have
vet seen neither snow nor ice, though
We hear OF vigorous weather ia many
regions not far OF, but have en- noyod
the bright blue sky, the bAlmlY air and
the genial sunshine almost every day
since arrived here q month ago. We
have semi-tropical trees growing.
flowers blooming and fruits ripening
IL the many hundreds OF gardens of
Paradise that beautify the city, and the
people enjoy life outdoors from
morning till bedtime, but especi ally In
the afternoon. You can take your
choice Of climates between the noun
tains that tower in the rear and the
caLn sea that sparkles in front. At one
place IL is higher and arier than at an
other, or more soothing, or warmer or
more shielded. or somehow more oon-
genial or beneficial. At one quarter
the atmosphere or other conditions are
more favorable TO your case, II you have
q case, than they are at another. Dii-
ferent localities are favorite resorts
for invalids or other people from vsri-
Gus countries; and the doctors here say
that there are the best OF reasons why
choice of locality should always be
made with knowledge.
The two chief classes of winter visi-
tors at Nice, as at other resorts along

seekers. We have thousands OF men.
women and children with all kinds
Of maladies. bodily and mental,
who have come here, or been
brought here in hope Of relief.
and there is no doubt that large pro-
portion of them find il in course OF
time. You can see many of them daily
basking in the sunshine, sauntering
along the promenades, sitting near tho
palm trees in the gardens. cawdling
along the shore, driving through the
broad avenues, taking the air in the
parks, or climbing the hill sides. Very
many Of them are old people. 10 whom
this region is indeed the last resort, 3"
end who succeed in prolonging life. or
reducing suffering, or curing ailments
by residence here. Never till now have
been in any part Of the world showing
euch large proportion of aged men
and women as may be seen here: and |
am speaking, not only OF invalids from
other countries, but also OF the ancient
native stock OF this part of the Med
iterrsnean coast. An hours tour upon
any Of the promenades will bring you
within view Of hundreds OF septuagen-
srians and octOgenarians of both sexes,
rich and poor. The statistics Of long
evity here, are as far As I can learn,
unequalled in any other region OF CIV
ilizaJion.
The pleasure-seekers who come here
from colder climes, or hotter, are yet
moro numerous than the invalids.
