EFFEoTs OF NOUN rA1N oLlMA IN

1t a Singular tact that almost
everybody loses flesh on coming here
from the east. The average loss OF
weight is about one -eighth. For in
stance, in the course of Two or three
months,a 200-pound man loses twenty
five pounds, and becomes a 175-pound
er. This is due to the high altitude OF
Las Vegas-over a mile above the sea.
10 the dry and light atmosp hero, to the
scarcity Of vegetation and TO the com
parative abundance of oxygen, which
consumes the tissues and taxes
the vital functions to q araaiar e-.e-'
IMAM on lower attitudes.
Higher up 1t IS much worse than
here. At Leadville, for instance, which
Is two miles above the sea level, the
diminution in weight does not general,
ly fall short of a sixth or seventh, and
it takes place much more rapidly than
here. Ia that high altitude, too, lung
diseases, such as pneumonia, very fire.
quently sets in, and they prove fatal
in about 80 per cent. OF the cases at
hacked. But very few dogs, except
hounds, car live in Leadville, and no
cats survive there. In Las Vegas,
however, we have a multitude Of both
dogs and cats, and they appear to ex
p%erience no special difficulty abou
living and getting fat.
Yet 1t is a noticeable fact that ami
mails and men lose q share of Their
strength after coming here. After
being here two OF three months, their
muscular power is not nearly so great
as in the east. Nor can they endure
so much hard work. Eight hours OF
continuous labor does more to exhaus
and PROSTATE q mar here than ten hours
In Illinois, or Wisconsin. And, when
worn out and Frustrated, a feeling OF
lassitude and drowsiness that 1t is yer,
difficult to dispel comes over one. Ia
some instances many hours Of rest are
required to repair and re- build TIL
wasted energies.
Mental labor Is aver more exhausting
than physical. A healthy man may
do manual labor for eight or ten hours
a day, and experience therefrom no
specially evil eff scts; but let mental
labor be pursued with the like assidu,
ty, and the nervous system becomes
weakened and irritable. In time til
physical powers become disordered
and weakened by sympathy and b,
the strain upon them to supply th
brain waste.
These facts are more noticeable in
the case of newcomers than of those
who have lived for a year or more a
high attitudes. Persons and animals
thoroughly acclimated do not expert
ence these drawbacks--iudeed, these
could not look better anywhere than
they appear here. The great diff Guilty
is in getting acrlim ,sad

The Public Library will be opened
for the distribution OF Books Wednes-
day afternoon and evening, Feb. 3D.
and hereafter on every wednesday
and Saturday afternoon and evening
The Library begins its third year
with twenty-five hundred and seventy
five volumes on the shelves, and mem
bership cards issued to six hundred
and fifty persons. During the past
month the Library has been closed for
the purpose OF putting in additional
shelving and taking an inventory OF
the books. AS the result we find FOUR
books are missing, one as yet we have
not been able to trace: books coming
from a house infected by scarlet fever,
we're refused by the librarian. The
borrowerers inability to pay for them
or his indifference in the matter re-
suited in n total loss to the Library.
In our present quarters it IS imprac-
ticable If not altogether impossible to
reopen the reading room, and no one
regrets this more than the members OF
Woman's Reading Club. From the
beginning it was well patronlzed, ana
without doubt, appreciated. 1t was
clean, bright room for girls and boys
In which to spend their evenings, and
where they were surrounded by books
and papers, entertaining and emo
bling, perhaps the one public place In
the city which afforded such adyan
tages.
An effort was made last spring to
obtain n small subscription from the
city, towards the rent of II larger room.
Although mainly supported by many
of the leading citizens and tax payers,
1t failed In the city council. Still while
some of the council voted against it
~ public measure they are thor
oughly alive to the great benefit II
public library Is to the town, and so
they have promised individually to aid
1t by an annual subscription.
The lecture course last year cleared
over one hundred dollars,
which money was used for library
this year 1t will little more
than pay for itself.
The reading room, the library ana
the lecture course have been splendidly
patronized by an apprcciatiye public,
demonstrating the fact that In intel |
ectual,,y the city Is second to none
n the state.
1T Is the aim and purpose VI 'ho
" oman's Reading club to maintain
md enlarge the library, and the END
we have in view Is, n fine reference,
historical and general library, and TO
aid in this object the ladies will
during this month, call upon The
for an annual subscription.
