AT THE GATEWAY OF THE NATIONAL PARK.

Santa Fe, the city of the Holy Faith o
81. Francis, is situated on the site of al
ancient Indian Pueblo called O-ga- p-ho-ge
II Is probably the Oldest civilized com
inunlty in the United States and the N os
ancient of American capitals. The Spanish
town was founded in 1905. Authorities
disagree as to whether this city or San Au
gnstin, Fla, were first founded. SAINTS
re was first visited by American traders
in 1904, and from that time dated g
wonderful era of prosperity. The thrill
ing incidents of the old Santa Fe trail
starting from Westport, Mo-, gave it g
world wide fame.
THE WORLDS ONLY sANlTAR1uM.
Prof. Mark Harrington, chief of the U

the driest habitable part of the United
States. This region is extensive, and
changes in form from season to season.
but Santa Fe is always in it,"
IL ls situated in charming nook of the
Santa Fe range, and its 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
7,Ol6 feet, and latitude, about the sGth
degree north, that gives it peculiar ad-
vantage as a sanitarium. The elevation

1882, the daily public concerts in the
plaza were only stopped three times by

not exceed half a dozen.

physician expressed it. The rare, ozon-

MoIasses and Petroleum.

N. Y. Tribune.
Almost all the molasses which
comes from Cuba to the United
States is brought in the same'tanlsS
in steamships that are used to
carry petroleum as a rsssss sarge.
The ships tanks are about sixteen
feet deep and have a neck seven
feet deep. They are pumped full
of oil at Brooklyn or Philadelphia,
then taken to Havana, and the oil
is pumped out into the tanks of
the refining plants there. Molasses
is brought from the interior of the
island in huge hogsheads, which
are emptied into the storage tanks.
A suction pump drawing about
$4,000 gallons an hour fills each
ships tanks to within about two
feet eff the top, that amount of
space being required for the ex-
pansion of the molasses. 1t might
be supposed that the petroleum
would have bad effect on the
molasses, but it has been shown
that the contrary is the case, and
as nearly one-half the importation
is made into rum and the balance
refined into sugar, a little Gil is not
of much account. The tanks are
cleaned after the molasses has
been pumped out by turning in q
powerful steam jet, which washes
down the sides and liquefes what
ever molasses may be left in the
bottom of the tank; and the sue
tion pump finishes the work. A
cargo of molassss, which formerly
required ten or twelve days, can
now be unloaded in forty-eight
hours, while the difference in cost
of handling, to say nothing of the
saving of time, amounts to q large
sum. Since the present system oi
dividing vessels hold into tanks
was devised and put in practice Oh
steamers the profits of trade and
the steamship companies have
! largely increased.

My Uncle Ephraim was a man who
did not live in vain,
And yet why he succeeded SOL never
could explain:
BY nature he was not endowed with
wit to degree,
But folks allowed there nowhere lived
a better man than he.
He started poor, but soon got rich; he
went to Congress then,
And held that post of honor long
against much brainier men.
He never made famous speech nor
did thing of note,
And yet the praise of Uncle Eph we'll
ed up from every throat.
Now father was smarter man, yet he
never won
Such wealth and fame as Uncle Eph,
"the deestrik's fayorite son."
He had convictions" and he was not
loathe to sreak his mind
He went his way and said his say as he
might be inclined.
Yes, he was brainy; yet his life was
hardly success
He was too honest and too smart for
this vain world, I guess.
At any rate wondered he was unsuc-
cessful when
My Uncle Eph, duller. man, was so
revered of men.
When Uncle Eph was dying he called
me to his bed,
And in a tone of confidence inviolate
he said:
sDear Willyum, ere seek repose in
yonder bllsstul sphere,
/ fain would breathe a secret in your
adolescent ear.
Strive not to hew your way through
life-it really doesn't pay.
Be sure the salve of fattery soaps all

KOwnee, a Newly Found Grain

Chicago Herald.
A traveller in the Himalyan
mountain region has discovered
that the natives of that country
cultivate grain hitherto unknown
in civilized agricultural operations,
which has something the look of
wheat, but has very much longer
ears, and which has peculiar in
ward curve. The dingy, brown
grain, unlike wheat, is, on the
other hand, much smaller than
wheat grains should be for so large
an ear. But the interest is that a
cereal of this character should
yield such heavy crops in 80 high
an altitude, when tho seasons are
necessarily short and the tempera-
ture low. The natives call the
grain kownee.

Origin of Locomotive Whistle

When the locomotives were first
built, and began to trundle their
small loads up and down the newly
and rudely constructed railways OF
England, the country roads were
for the most part crossed at grade,
and the engine driver had no way
of giving warning of his approach
except by blowing a tin horn,
This horn, as may be imagined,
was far from being a sufficient
warning. One day in the year
1888 farmer of Thornton was
crossing the railroad track on one
of the country roads with a great
load of eggs and butter. Just as
be came out upon the track a train
approached. The engine man blew
his tin horn Justify, but the farmer
did not hear it. Eighty dozen of
eggs and so pounds of butter were
smashed into an lndistinguishable,
unpleasant mass, and mingled with
the kindling wood to which the
wagon was reduced. The railway
company had to pay the farmer the
value Of his so pounds of butter,
his $50 eggs, his horse, and his
wagon.
1t was regarded as a very serious
matter, and straightway a director
of the company, Ashlen Bagater
by name, went to Alton Grange,
where George Stephenson lived, to
see if he could not invent some
thing that would give warning
more likely to be heard. Stephen
son went to work and the next day
had a contrivance which, when at
tached to the engine boiler, and
the steam turned on, gave out a
shrill discordant sound. The rail
way directors, greatly delighted,
ordered similar contrivances at
tached to all the locomotives, and
from that day to this the voice of
the locomotive whistle has never
been silent.

AN OBLIGING MAN.
He Was More Than Delighted to
Lend That Horse of His.

Chicago Tribune.
They live on Drexel street and
are neighbors. One of them, the
tall man, owns a horse and buggy,
while the short man doesn't. The
other day the latter felt as though
a drive would do him good, and he
went over to the tall mans place
to borrow the rig.
"You are perfectly welcome to
it," said the owner. II believe in
being nelghborly and accommo
dating and you can just go to the
barn and take the outfit whenever
you want it. But I think I ought
to tell you to prevent accidents
that the horse has fits. Sometimes
when he's trotting along he'll rear
up and fall back in the buggy AND
carry on awful. He killed his last
owner that way"
"Well, if that's the case, perhaps

Religions in Rome.

The Nineteenth Century.
AS Rome became residence for
all strange gods, it also became
both the religious capital of the
world and it's religious centre. 1t
became, and was called, the "Holy
City" and the External City" (;
and 80, when Christianity ulti-
mately triumphed, it still retained
those titles, and became naturally,
as well as for other reasons, re-
garded as the religious capital of
the Christian world.
Only two religions were ex-
cluded from the otherwise almost
universal toleration Of paganism-
namely, Judaism and Christianity.
Fathers of the Church have COM
planned of this, yet somewhat un-
reasonably; for the concord which
existed between the various pagan
forms resulted from their willing
ness to make reciprocal conces-
sions. This neither Jews nor
Christians would, nor could, con-
sent to; and they had naturally
to take the consequences. Yet
peace was offered to them on the
same conditions as to others. The
pagans were ready to recognize in
Jehovah their own Jupiter or Bac-
chus, and not a few were willing to
keep the Sabbath and observe
Jewish feasts. There were also
some Jews, like Herod, who would
not have regretted such mutual
understandings; but the mass OF
the nation repelled them with hor-
ror, and thereby incurred bloody
prosecutions, wherein thousands
lost their lives, and furious hatred
against them arose, which only
ceased when they associated them
selves with the pagans to persecute
Christianity.
The Christians, as every one
knows, were also offered what were
deemed favorable terms, and little
difficulty would have been felt il
the acceptance of Christ as one
God more, and (as readers will re-
member) His image had its place
in the private chapel of the EN-
peror Alexander Severus, beside
those of 0rpheus and Apollonius
But no consistent Christian coulc
