New Mexico has very wide range OF
climate. The temperatures registered in
the Territory during January varied con-
siderably over 100 degrees. The hot
test place during the month was La Luz,
Dona Ana County, where the Their
mometer registered seventy-six degrees
one day, and the mean temperature for
the month was 60.7 degrees. At Dulce,
Rio Arriba County, the mercury on one
chilly January day crawled down to
thirty-two degrees below zero, and its
record for the month in that bracing
spot was 1.6 degrees below zero.

Professor Jameson, of Brown Univer

Professor Jameson, of Brown Univer-
sity, is lecturing on the historic colonial
mansions on the James River in Vir-
ginia, especially those at Shirley, West
over and Upper and Lower Brandon.
This region and the country about Will
iamsburg, which the professor designates
as "the quaintest place in the English
portion of America" was once virgin
field of discovery for the seeker after old
colonial furniture. Many rare find of
ancient mahogany tables and sideboards
has been made Whereabouts, and quaint
Chippendale chairs used to be found
there in Notwithstanding objects of
treasures -trove that could be secured for
the proverbial song. But time has
changed all that, and such articles when
discovered there now are held at fair
price. 1t is said that much of this sort
of colonial furniture may be obtained
nowadays in parts of Kentucky, rare
pieces having been inherited by the
present generation Of Kentuckians from
their Virginia ancestors.

The English War-ship Ramillies--A
Reminder.

Engand's new armored war-ship, said
to be he most powerful ahoat, is named
the families. Families -Ramilles?
Seems as if we'd heard that name some
where before! Oh! yes: that was the name
of on of the ships that tried to capture
Stonington, and which the Yankee mill
tia bored Through and through, and
kiIlel or crippled half her crew." in the
old times. Well, war science has adj
vanced since then. The original Ram
lilies was wooden vessel and the Yankee
guns were smooth bore. But although
the new Families is of steel, with an
armcr belt, modern Yankee projectiles
have been proved to be very seeking"
and if England wants to learn something
about their penetration, we might agree
to practice on her little Brook yn
Standard Union.

JUST BE GLAD.
BY JAMES wH1TCOMB RILEY.

O heart Of mine, we shouldn't
Worry SO.
What we've missed of calm we couldn
Have you know!
Whit we've met of stormy pain,
And Of sorrows driving rain,
We can better meet again,
If it blow.
We have erred in that dark hour,
We have known,
When the tears fell with the shower,
All alone
Were not shine and shower blent
AS the gracious Master meant?
Let US temper our content
With His own.
For, we know, not every morrow
Can be sad;
So, forgetting all the sorrow
We have had,
Let us fold away our fears,
And put by our foolish tears,
And through all the coming years
Just be glad.

tainted right off. Thank God, she
did not see what we saw when, AFTER
some delay, we got the door open
Charters, half lying, half sitting, on
a sofa, his eyes staring, his lace
drawn and deadly pale under the
white glare OF the electric light, ana
a long, slender knife buried IN his
breast. Fastened by pin-,my scarf
| pinto the panellng OF the capln'
was a paper with the words:
I'm recompense for duty shllked'
a trust betrayed, q cause ADAM
| dOned.
And the hateful little Maltese cross
was pricled out in the corner OF the
paper.
You can see through the mystery
of my scarf-pin now, can you? L
saw it all, from the moment we
looked into that cabin. Or nearly al
for a letter which poor Charters had
left, written to his wife, helped us to
fill in the blank in his story. L new
er saw that letter: but Mrs. Charters
| told me what was in it. And L never
thought that q woman could have told
the story as she did, quite calmly ana
quietly, with only just the least little
choking sob III her voice now and
then as she went or.
Charters, it appeared, had been
taken with lot Of mad fancles
when he was travelling in Europe,
and had Joined one of those Nlhlllst
associations, which had for its badge
the diamond and coral Maltese cross.
Going out to settle in Australia, he
soon forgot his rash undertaking,
and was aroused from the perfect
happiness of his recent marriage by a
commission ordering him to murder
the Russian count, Pataroff, whom,
for political reasons, it had been de-
termined to remove. Charters was,
of course, Mortified. He at once got
rid Of his badge-which came. SO
strangely into my hands disguised
himself as we'll as he could by shay
ing off his beard, and sailed with his
wife for London, where he hoped to
hide himself, knowing that certain
death would be the punishment for
his refusal to obey orders. But all
his efforts were fruitless. On board
the Circassienne there sailed with him
| three-or goodness knows how many
more-spies of the association, bent
upon tracking him down. Thanks to
my diamond pin, they all took me for
one of themselves; and thanks to it,
also, was able to point out Gustav
as the most likely perpetrator OF the
murder, to which he afterward con-
fessed, as well as to the Patarotf bust
ness over in Adelaide, and for which,
a few weeks later, he paid the full
penalty of the law.
AS for the Rev. Erastus Leigh, and
the other conspirators among the
storage passengers, there was not
enough against either Of them to 60
upon the prosecution, and they both
escaped.
Oh. YES. Mrs. Charters is alive now.
T see her occasionally. She S wild;
ow still, poor little woman! And l
think will always remain one.-P. I.

The idea of the bicycle railroad finds
favor at Seattle A line is soon to be
constructed between that city aud Taco
ma. The contract calls for its compile
ton within year. The following de-
scription is given of the road: 'There
will be two tracks, each of single line
of steel rails. A timber will be laid on
the ground across the width of both
tracks at intervals of twenty feet, and
across these, lengthwise of the track,
1Ox12-inch stringers will be laid, to
which the rails will be spiked. To each
end of the stills will be bolted upright
timbers 2x1S inches and eighteen feet
high, with 4x6-inch braces. These up
rights will be connected overhead by a
cap, which will support 4x6-inch
wooden guide-rail, directly above each
line of rails. The cars will run on
wheels under their centre on the single
line of rails, and, when running on a
straight track, will be held upright by
their own impetus. When rounding
curves, however, the cars will be held
upright by two rubber wheels affixed to
their roofs and running one on each side
of the guide-rail, while a third rubber
wheel will revolve against the under side
Of this rail. pressing against it and keep
