A GLOOMY PICTURE.
Terrible Suffering OF Man and Beast
as Result Of the Prolonged
DrOugIt--A Talk with a
KancherO.

Mr.John A. Abercrombie, we'll known
merchant, stock raiser and farmer of
Anton Chico, is visiting Santa Fe to-day.
He says the water in the Pecos river is
unusually scsnt, there is no grass on the
ranges and unless rain falls within the
next few days permanent injury will be
done the live stock industry. The sheep
men are suffering terribly owing to the
drought. He says old residents all admit
that no such dry spell has been expert
enced in generation. Sheep that ordi-
narily shear ten to twelve pounds have
this spring yielded but six or seven
pounds, and instead of the ordinary 75
per cent increase in lambs the rule has
been 25 to 80 per cent increase only and
the figures may fall below this estimate.
As for cattle there are very few on the
ranges and most of them are herded
about the few water holes that are left.
At Pino's wells, 100 miles south of Santa
Fe, water is scarcer than for twenty years
past, and in the Monticino district, where
water has always been plentiful the sands
are as dry as a Sahara.
Similar reports come from all parts
of southern New Mexico and from
Arizona. There the weather is in
tensely hot and no rain of any
consequence has fallen this year. Mr.
Abercrombie learns that at Flagstaff
A. T., the people have been hauling water
for domestic purposes for weeks, and the
famous Mormon lake, not far distant. is
entirely dry for the first time within the
memory of man.
Unless the new moon on the 11th in
stant brings change in the weather ano
results in copious rainfall, the suffering
will be intense until the yearly rainfall
season opens up about July 15. Wher
the storms do come Mr.. Abercrombi'
predicts that they will be severe, and, hi
thinks, are likely to be accompanied b!
much hail.

THE RUCHE FASHION.

At the beginning Of the season it IL
well to look With suspicion upon the
fashion which seems most in favor,
for there always hoTers round it the
danger that little later it may be.
come common.
This is just what has happened this
year to the fascinating ruehe. Early
IN September l! appeared as one Of the
fall novelties. It came in the effective
chanseable taEetas, with narrow
velvet edge, and could be bought b5
the yard.
Women soon saw that the 1uche
could be used in many ways, and thG:
invariably its fluffy fu!lness WAS be-
coming.
Then and there the downfall Of the
ruche began. Now it is seen more
often on the streets than any one OF
fashions frills.
Every second lat one meets is
trimmed with ruche, end though
many of the hats are French creations
and costly, the popularity Of the ruche
detracts much from their distinction.
Hats made on Third avenue are now
ornamented with ruehe.
AS for the tafeta ruche used as q
boa, one sees it everywhere. So the
women who ara fond Of exclusive
things ale resretfully putting aside

ENORMOUS MCFFS.

Everything is lavishly trimmed this
season, even the muf. The plain,
old.fashioned fur muf has gone out Of
fashion. The new nuffs are as large
as those carried by ou= grandmothers,
but in no other way do they resemble

The muff Of to-day, to be strictly
fashionable, must be much trimmed.
It matters little whether it il trimmed

STRANGE PLANTS

Early travellers ii China auI Lar
tary speak o. "plsnt OF flesh and
blood, with the shape and appearances
of lamb: having feet, tail and head
distinctly formed, and its sSin covered
with soft down" The lamb is said to
grow upon q stalk three feet in height,
and to turn about aud bend to the
terbaee that serves for its food, and
when the grass falls it dries, up and
55withers away.
There is some foundation for his
queer ,ssory in the existence OF q sin
guIarly-shased plant recently d1scoV'
cred which has ascrt Of wooIly COW
erins; and in order to heighten the
general effect, the natives trim TIE
plant and adjust the long, light, silky
hairs that cover it, in such q style as
to give it the appearance OF wool
animal. It is natural to suppose that
this plant would wither when the grass
begins to fall; for even # 1t did not
subs;st upon the grass as reported the
same drought that served to Kill the
grass would naturally destroy the
plant.
Itmay not DO so generally known
that there now grows in Asia tree,
the bark of which is made into sheets
about a yerd square, and these
are used for oil ordinary purposes OF
paper, being very tough and durable.
