CITIES AND MORALS.

This shifting of the population from the country to the towns is accompa- nied by profound change in the hab- it's, thought, and mode of life of a large portion of the population The wits are sharpened and the moral sense is dulled by the excitement and va riety of city life. There is feverish activity arising from the struggle of so many human beings in such keen com petition and such close contact with each other. The crowding of the pop ulatiOn increases with the value of real estate, and the injury to health and morals increases in the same ratio.- From ''The Government of the Greater New York;" by Col F. V.

AN APPOINTMENT.


The average New Mexico newspaper
man delights when be is givea an oppor-
tunity to write concerning climate. Ia
this he has the edge on the whole world
unless it be perhaps some favored spot In
Italy. Take for instance the report for
the month of July, which appears else
where in to-day's paper, it will be seen
that there was seventeen partly cloudy
days in this heated month and that rain
fell on fifteen days Of the month, though
well distributed, as but 3.87 inches fell dur
ing the entire month. This compares with
other years as follows: 1892, 1928 inches;
1893, 5.64 inches; 1894, 2.s9 inches 1895,
$3.50 inches, an average Of 4.30 inches each
year. The average number Of cloudy days
in the month of July in the past four years
is IN part cloudy and 3 cloudy. 1t will
thus be seen that in our own happy cline
the cloudiness comes In the summer when
it can lest be borne. The average c!oudi-
ness in. the bleak months Of January and
February in the last -four years, is partly
cloudy 3% days; cloudy 2% days.
