Former Elephants.

The great northern elephant persisted as
a species i'll the prime of life. 1t had lived
under most prosperous conditions. Its en-
emies were few and comparatively impo-
tent. Alone among other contemporary
animals, the saber toothed tiger OCCASION
ally perhaps got the better Of an antago>
mist which must have been less sensitive to
the flint tipped arrows of mere human as
sailants than Ship Surgeon CULVER was to
the multitudinous pricks of lilliputian mis-
siles.
Inexhaustible supplies of food, too, were
furnished by the forests and swamps of the
vast European continent to the terrestrial
leviathan, which accordingly multiplied
and throve exceedingly. Then was the cul-
minating epoch Of the proboscidean family.
Thick hided animals with tusks and trunks
attained larger size, ranged over q wider
area Of the earths surface and existed
more numerously and in greater variety
than ever before or since. --Edinburgh Re.

Different Aspects.

A prophet is not without honor save in
his own country, and a philosopher or group
Of philosophers are rarely If ever appreciat-
ed by the ordinary mob. The truth of these
aphorisms Is illustrated by an incident
which occurred recently in the Grand Cen
trail station.
Three gentlemen stood chatting there
while waiting for train, when one, glano-
ing down, noticed at his feet two-thirds of
cigarette.
All" said he, 'the lady came early
earlier than expected, and the fellow had
no opportunity to finish bis smoke"
NO" remarked another. ''The chances
are that she was late in keeping the APP
pointment. He thought he would smoke
Just one more and then give waiting up as
bad job. But she came before he had
taken half dozen draws"
Il believe you are both wrong" said the
third. This is a case without lady. He
was either beginner and couldn't stand
any more, or he dropped 1t by accident and
was too proud to pick it up"
Each one of the three men was sure his
speculation was right, or at least argued in
support of it. And what a fruitful source
OF argument three-quarters Of cigarette
will furnish If the persons have sufficient
intelligence to sustain the trend OF thought
Alta short distance from the group were
two other philosophers, boys under Is,
given to speculation. They watched the
animated conversation and observed that
the gentlemen pointed in the direction Of an
unfinished cigarette.
After brief interval one Of them said:
'sTom, do you see them three gents' What

There is no other locality, even the
boosted climate of southern France, that
can show such q stable and equable
range of heat and cold. The health seek
er need fear no sudden changes. little
attention to clothing and he can bid colds
and inflammations defiance. In cases of
death from tubercular disease the New
Mexico rate is only in 1000.
This il the lowest known record, and it
must be remembered that the local con-
tingent OF consumptives is daily aug
mented by the immigration of those who
seek respite from that dreaded scourge.
The record of deaths at Santa Fe is
much lower than the territorial average.
In New England the consumptivs death
rate is rs out of every 1000 of the COM
munity; in Minnesota it is IA, and
throughout the southern states six per
1000. This city enjoys the spring eli
mate of northern Illinois and Indiana;
the summer climate of Wisconsin, Michi-
gan and Minnesota, and the winter
temperature of southern Illinois, Indiana
and Tennessee. This, however, is only as
shown by the thermometer. The dry
tonic air of the mountain altitude fills one
with vivacity and health, and SO strong is
the Influence of the ozone and electricity
on the nerves aud system that acclimation
is wonderfully rapid. This of itself is
great boon. Cases are on record of in

grants here of from four to seven inches.
NATURAL ATTRACTIONS.
Besides this Santa Fe lies in most
picturesque valley. 1t is at the entrance
of d splendid canon, Astounding in natural
cnriosities. 1t is also the gateway of the
Pscos National park, where fish and game
abound. Within easy riding or driving
distances there are over forty places of pic
turesuue aud of historic interest. Among
which may be mentioned the old adobe pal
ace, first erected shortly after 1908, from
which the Spanish viceroys ruled this
great province. The present structure
dates from about 1716; but it is full of
interest, as every room is consecrated by
the memory of thrilling events. In this
building Gen. Lew Wallace wrote his
famous Ben Hur.
The chapel of San Miguel, was built in
1890 and still stands. By its side is the
OlCeSt mouse III tN0 United 0GAtee. 4ue

hut the rest of Ahe structure h Of more
modern date. Within Convenient dis
tances are the Indian pueblos Of Tesuqu 10

about nine miles up the main water

thither is one of SURPRISING loveliness.

Santa Fe, the city of the Holy Faith of
st. Francis, is situated ON the site of an
ancient Indian Pueblo called O-ga-p-ho-ge.
1t is probably the Oldest civilized COM
lnunity in the United States and the most
ancient of American capitals. The Spanish
town was founded in 1905. Authorities
disagree as to whether this city or San Au-
gustin, Fla, were first founded. Santa
Fe was first visited by American traders
in 1904, and from that time dated a
wonderful era of prosperity. The thrill
ing incidents of the old Santa Fe trail,
starting from Westport, Mo-, gave it a
world wide fame.
THE WORLDS ONLY sANITAR1UH.
Prof. Mark Harrington, chief of the o..
s. weather bureau, says: "Santa Fe is in
the driest habiteble part of the United
States. This region is extensive, and
changes in form from season to season,
but Santa Fe is always in it,"
1t is situated in charming nook of the
Santa Fe range, and it's climate is domi-
mated by the influence of mountain peaks
that tower nearly $4,000 feet high. To-
gether with this it lies at an altitude of
70l5 feet, and latitude, about the Seth
degree north, that gives it peculiar adj
vantage as a Sanitarium. The elevation
teInpers the summer heats, which natural
ly should be about that of Memphis,
Tenn, or Bakersfield, Cal, and its south
ssn situation reduces the rigors of winter,
As an illustration, during the winter of
1892, the daily public concerts in the
plaza were only stopped three times by
weather, and last winter the omissions did
not exceed half dozen.
The altitude compels the lungs to work,
and no one in Santa Fe can be accused of
being "too lazy to BREATHE" as a great
physician expressed it. The rare, ozon-
ated air permeates every cell of the lungs,
and thus prevents hemorrhage. Drs.
Symington and Harroun, who have prac-
ticed in Santa Fe for over twenty years,
report that they have only found two
,asss among the native people of con-
sumption.
NORMAL TEMPERATURE.
The U. 8. weather observation Office
has been stationed here for twenty years
snd the following statistical data telll
better than words how even and mild is
the climate of Santa Fe. Taking the
summer heat and the winter cold the fol
lowing tables show most equable and
delightful temperatures:

Oh, for the sound o. the burnies

Oh, for the blue lochs Graded
In the arms o. mountains gray
That smile as they shadow the drifting

A. the bonny simmer day!
Oh, for the tops o. mountains,
White wi eternal shawl
For the winds that drift across the lift,
For the strong east winds that blaw!
Tn sick o. the blazing sunshine
That burns through the weary hours;
o. gaudy birds singing never song,
O. beautiful scentless flowers.
I'd gle a. their southern glory
For taste o. the guide saut wind,
WI a road DER the bonny sea before
And track o. foam behind.

Her mountains stern and bare,
But, oh, for breath o. her moorlands,
A Whit o. her caller air!

A Long Memory.

Old people often take great delight in re-
verting to the scenes of childhood and vie
with each other in early recollections.
Sometimes they assert confidently that they
can remember things that occurred in their
infancy.
One remarkable instance of this sort of
memory is recorded in an old family Bible
in New England household. The Bible
was published in 1928, and on one Of its
family record pages there may be read the
following entry made in a trembling hand:

uary, 1884, according to the best of her rec

On one occasion Judge Andrew Eli

officials to return after supper that
night, as it was intended to hold a
night session. At Z o'clock all the Of

jury, with one exception, were prompt

be done without the absent juryinan.
The minutes ran into hours, and still
the prodigal did not return. At late
hour court adjourned without having
accomplished anything Next morn
ing at o'clock sharp the twelve jury
men were in the box. His honor
scanned the crowd and asked for the
truant. He was pointed out and the
court ordered him to stand up.

A damsel 80 arch and capricious
Has never yet gladdened the earth
So dainty, demure and delicious
A star must have danced al her birth.
A face that is piQuant and tender,
A mouth that is trimming with bliss
A brow that is beaming with splendor,
And lips that are luscious to kiss
How rich is the ring OF her laughter
AS 1t peals like the chime Of a bell
And scars 10 the rooftree and rafter
On the surge of Its silvery SWELL
A garland of gold are her tresses
That poise on her brow In delight,
Then tumble so bold in torrent Of gold
Like the sur as he leaps In the night
Her eyes are as bright as jewel,
And yelling with rapture and truth,
The fanoies that fire them with fuel
Are the hopes and the visions OF youth
Her voice with rare music is laden
As sweet as the falling Of rain
AS II melts from the mouth OF the maiden
Who prattles with dainty disdain.
o child, be not proud OF the graces
That frame you as fair as flower,
For beauty will fade on the faces

The fairies they gave you as token
Rare goods that are goodly and glad,
But these are as ties to be broken,
The good WITH the bad
May time touch YOU light as he passes
And give you the guerdon OF tears,
Our hopes are as brittle as glass Is,
Our faith Is as fragile as fears.
Tho thoughts that we hold and we nourish
win fade, as they faded before,
Like foam upon waters that flourish
To die on the shore
