CITY OF SANTA PE.

This city lies in charming nook Oh the
west side of the Santa Fe range and is shell:
tered from the northern winds by spur Of
low hills which extend from the mountains
west SIS far as the Rio Grande. It lies in the
center of the valley at the mouth of pictur-
esque canon, the chief entrance to the Pecos
National Park, and through which runs the
Rio Santa Fe, beautiful mountain stream,
having its rise in the Santa Fe range OF
mountains. It's elevation is 1893 feet. Its
pcpulatinn is 1850. 1t has good schools and
churches. There II an excellent system Of
water works. The city is lighted with gas
and electricity. 1t has more points Of his
toric interest than any other place on tho
North American continent. Land may be
purchased at prices to snit the rich or the
poor. Five acres In Santa Fe or vicinity
will produce more than can be produced
anywhere else in the world. Our markets
arc close at hand and We can successfully
compete with any other locality. Since the
first frNit tree was planted in the Santa Fs
valley there has been but one failure in the
fruit crop: What place, what country can

Glowing red gowns Of bengaline or
OF crepon are chosen by the youngest
women of the family for the annual
dinner party. The waist droops
slightly. in blouse fashion, from .
band Of jet going around just below
the throat to a narrow belt Of the waist
line. Huge pulled sleeves are of red
or black velvet, falling in q single or q
double puff below the elbow, and
banded with jet galloon that needs no
softening frill of lace next the pink
white young flesh. The skirt Is
slightly full in front and on the sides,
and is held in the back in full French
gathers (of alternately long and short
stitchss), and finishes at the foot with
a band of jet. Similar dresses are
made Of Spanish yellow bengalines
and brocades, and also Of the mauve
silks and crepons that are worn alike
by blondes and brunettes.

LAGOS In Millinery.

Lace is employed conspicuously in
millinery. Black passementerie lace
is drawn over crimson velvet to make
a round hat that is ornamented with
a large cluster of damask roses. A fat
of orange-red velvet has fine black lace
falling from the brim in Spanish
fashion and arranged around the crown
like scarf Blue net is over white
velvet in fancy little dress bonnet, and
again pink velvet is under black net
Black lace wings are veined with jet.
A jet ruche, made as is a ribbon
ruche, has rhinestones through the
middle. A buckle noticeable among
the many is square gold frame, sat
solid with rhinestones, then bent in
ward in two diagonal corners. A hat
pin has for head big jet world with
an emerald equator. Blue jet this
season is reinforced by jet showing
pink and even yellow lights.

Manuish Fashions.

Feminine apparel has, of late, seemed
to take on masculine aspect in many
points. One by one have come shirt
fronts, cravats, broad shoes and even
suspenders. And now the latest things
in street gloves are mannish to their
very finger tips. The most popular
colors are dark red, pearl and gray
white. The former are stitched so as
to form cord or welt of the kid, with
very often an arrow head at the bot
tom. The pearls and whites have
black stitching. II the kid is thin II
has broad silk stitching instead of the
cord Of kid. Mousquetaires, for street
wear, are so entirely out that--strangc
contradiction--you should never be
seen out in them. 1t is the day of but
tons! They may be Of any material
brass, silver, pearl, transparent porce-
lain-anything so that they are big!
Fouris the most common number, but
two-buttoned gloves are supplied to go
with the fashionable long sleeved
gowns. The buttons, the band of kid
around the wrist, the binding and the
stitching, must all match in color and
it must be different one from that
of the gloves.

For the Hair.

Hair ornaments are very rich and
costly. Pins have balloon-shaped
heads of amber, with facet cutting
that gives the amber n curious effect of
being enclosed in netting. Shell pins
and combs have steel heads. Steel
bandeaux have crescents of mock jew
els in front. There are beautiful
combs of pierced and beaten gold, but
these belong rather to the genuine
jewelry, with which this article does
not deal. A tiara of rhinestones, emer-
aids rubies, amethysts and other
stones, in Persian mingling, is worthy,
in beauty and price, to find a place in
the jewel casket.

New skirts are narrower at the top
and wider at the bottom.
Doub!e-sleeve capes of velvet are
seen on cloth and rich silk dresses.
Bead trimmings in Persian colors are
among the most elegant importations.
Slippers of black undressed kid have
gilt toes and are tied with yellow silk
ribbons.
The old-fashioned moss trimming is
revived, and is shown in mixed colors
and all popular shades.
White felt hats are trimmed with
large bows of bright-rcd velvet and
aigrettes and dagger of fine jet.
Large plaids are fashionable, and
dresses are made either entirely of
plaid or in mbination with velvet.
There is very tstrong rivalry as to
who will produce the best and most
approved dress for wear on the wheel.
A black velvet hat is trimmed with
magenta velvet and cluster of ma
genta and yellow roses, Owith black
lace.
Marie Stuart bonnets are again in
fashion. and, as they are extremely
becoming to many faces. will no
doubt be popular.
Little ugirl's dresses with velvet
Jokes, shirred waists, full sleeves and

When NJ. Desire Charnay visited
Prince Mancou Nagoro in Java he was
entertained by concert given by his
hosts orchestra of sixty pieces. Man.
cou- Nagoro was the fourth Prince Of
his name. The orchestra was founded
by the first Mancou-Nagoro. 1t is
greatly admired by the Javanese. The
musicians wore black gowns and tur
bans, writes M. Charnay. The instru
ments were apparently copper pots OF
all shapes and sizes, from one large
enough to boil two eggs to the largest
kettles.
There were also sets of copper plates
from two inches to three feet in length,
mounted on sculptured bronze stands.
Wooden plates were arranged sim
ilarly. There were gongs from ten
inches to six leet in diameter, and
queerly shaped, two-stringed violins.
Each musician had sticks with rubber
ends to strike the instruments.
On signal from the Prince the con-
cert began. The music was a com
bination of remarkable sounds. Some
were soft, silvery and plaintive, as
heard amid the roaring of the gongs.
Sometimes beautiful melody could
be heard, but in general the perform.

wonderful discord. From time to time,
the piercing voices of the women sing

In the attic we espied

Seemingly Of ancient date.

Was the picture OF tho cart.
Drawn with all the awkward grace
Which betokens childish art:

Mother recollected then
What the years we're fnin TO hide,

Little Homer lived and died;
Forty years so mother said,
Little Homer had been dead.
This one secret through those years
Grandma kept from all apart.
Hallowed by her lonely tears
And the breaking of her heart
While each year that sped away
Seemed TO her but yesterday.
So the homely little slate

To O memory concentrate,
Lieth In the oakcn chest.

Echo River.

1 mono htv0r
One of the famous curiosities Of the
Mammoth Gave is Echo River, body
of water estimated to be some three
fourths of a mile in length, and from
twenty to two hundred feet in breadth.
Its depth at ordinary times is from ten
to forty feet. Dr. II. C. Hovey. in a
paper read before the American Geo.
graphical Society, gives a vivid de-
scription of the peculiar acoustic quail
ties of the vault by which the river is
arched.
Last summer, in company with a
party of four persons, no others being
on the river at the time, we tried the
effect of rocking the boat as violently
| as we dared to do, also striking the
surface of the water with our paddles,
and in other ways making as much
agitation of the body of the stream as
possible, and then awaiting the result
| in silence.
/ timed the concert thus created, and
found its duration to be exactly half
an hour! First came sounds like the
tinkling of silver bells. Then larger
and heavier bells took up the melody
as the waves sought out the cavities
in the walls. Then it was as II all
chimes OF all cathedrals had conspired
to raise tempest of sweet sounds.
For moment there was utter
silence, soon broken by low mutter-
ings, ghostly whispers. sudden shrielss,
as if of men in agony. Then silence
again. We were about to speak. when
| the guide motioned to us to remain
quiet; when, 10! as from some deep re-
cess, hitherto forgotten, came tone
tender and profound; after which, like
gentle memories, all the mellow and
mysterious sounds that had gone be-
fore were reawakened, until the hall
rang again with the wondrous har-
mony.

lowing up the idea which this fact sug.
gested, he procured . heat. proof ink,
with which he wrote invcrtedly on orr

mold cooled the paper had been com
sumed by the heat, but the ink, which
remained intact, had lett clear In

Repairing . Suspension Bridge.
The cables Of suspension bridge arc
subjected to great strains and are
therefore firmly anchored 1t each
shore and to heavy masses Of masonry.
generally by means Of long bars Of
iron or steel having holes at each end
by which they are bolted or pinhed to-
gether. In examining the anchorage
of one end of the smaller suspension
bridge ut Niagara Fails recently ono
Of the bars was found to be broken.
and the problem of replacing II was
quite difficult, since the wires attached
to II had to have the Same tension
when II was in place as they had whom
the old bar was intact. The new
bar was formed Of q piece Of steel
twenty feet long, six inches wide and
three-quarter-inch thick, with . hole
in ono end and provided at the other
with band bolted to It This band
was designed to pass around an iron
bar In the abutment and resist the pull
of the wires. When the band had been
placed about this pin in the masonry
and bolted to its bar, the Inter was
carefully heated by wooden fire in q
trough below until 1t had expanded
sufficiently to allow the end Of the wire
cable to be connected with 1t. As It
cooled down 1t contracted more and
more until at the normal temperature
the wires attached to 1t were strained
to the same amount as the others, and
in this way difficult problem was
easily and cheaply solved.

OIL OF tn. Euo.lyntu. rr.s.

The most valuable product Of the
eucalyptus trees which are planted in
California are tho essential oil and
certain medical preparations from the
leaves The distilled extract from
eucalyptus, which resembles In its
method of production the well-known
distilled extract of witch-hazel, has
come into prominence within few
years. 1t is concentrated extract
from freshly gathered leaves of trees
that are at least seven years old, and
the older the better. IL is used for
most of the ailments where the oil has
been used, and has the advantage of
being cheaper. It has been recon-
mended for headaches, nervous affec-
tions, and as an antiseptic 1t has given
good results when applied to fresh
wounds, and for Inflammation of mu-
cous membranes and insomnia; for
cold in the head and sore throat it Is Of
service, while as q disinfectant it Is
useful from the fact that, like the oil.
1t substitutes a pleasant odor for nox-
ious ones. The oil has an established
place in the materia mcdica, and there
is evidently field of usefulness for
the distilled antiseptic.
