A School MunicinaIitN.

An experiment OF rare interest was
made during the past summer at one Of
the vacation schools in New York city.
The aim Of the experiment was to teach
children their duties in respect to city
government The plan was the idea Of
Mr.. Wilson l.. Gill, president of the
Patriotic league.
The vacation school contained 20
classes These were divided into dis
tricts or wards similar to those Of a
city. The ordinary school government
was suspended as far as possible, and
the children were formed into a school
city. A mayor and councilmen were
elected, boys and girls alike voting.
Health, street cleaning and police de-
partments were created, with their re-
spective heads
The aldermen met and passed some
ordinances, One Of the first was this:
"The boy Or girl who is not suitable in
cleanliness the day he Or she comes to
school will be compelled to pick up all
paper wasted during the day" There
were several ordinances worded in sim
liar quaint language, all pertaining to
the cleanliness, health and behavior of
the pupils. One required the reporting
Of child who came to school with a
disease of any kind that the teacher did
not know about. This last certainly
saved the school from the danger Of
contagious diseases once or twice.
The mayor vetoed the first batch of
ordinances passed by the aldermen on
the ground thar they were ungrammat-
ical. Others followed duly which were
grammatical, and these were accepted.
They required the children to work for
the cleanliness of the streets, picking
up or causing to be picked up all bits of
paper, banana skins or garbage and en-
deavoring likewise to prevent as far as
possible all persons, young or old, from
throwing paper, fruit skins and refuse
in the streets. Often these enthusiastic
young citizens tackled grown men and
persuaded them to pick up refuse they
had hurled upon the sidewalk. There
were very strict ordinances against de-
facing walls trees or any kind of prop
erty, The children We're forbidden to
make chalk marks on fences or side
walks. Personal cleanliness was enforc-
ed in the most rigid manner. The chill
dren learned the effect Of dirty streets
and homes upon their health; they also
learned the bad artistic and moral effect
Of disfgured walls and ungentle man
ners and rowdyism Of any sort. En-
ployees Of the miniature street cleaning
department. reported individually in
some cases Z, 900 to 5000 bits Of paper,
glass, fruit skins, etc., that they had
picked up from the street.

OUR GLORIOUS CLIMATE.
Santa Fe Enjoys Most Equable and
Cool Summer Temperature and
Moderate Winters.
COMPARISONS FAVOR SANTA FL GREATLY
Only Ten Per Cent of Cloudy Days

Locality-Sunshine Nearly
All the Time.

New Mexico lies at the point where the
Rocky mountains lose that characteristic
individuality which they have preserved
Arctic circle to Colorado and almost
throughout that state. Heretofore they
have been range or broad series of
parallel ranges exhibiting lofty peaks
and passes at attitudes so great as to lie
further skyward than many Wanted al
pine submits. But when the chain has
reached it's final great effort of elvation
in Pixies Peak it rapidly loses its massive
character and with astonishing rapidlty
sinks to rolling hills and spreads out on
mesas of altitude still great but of even
and gentle slope.
Viewed by the aid of it's contours of
altitude New Mexico appears as plain
raised to the height of 5000 feet, broken
but by two systems of greater elevations
and interrupted by lesser ones only on
the eastern and southern faces. Nearly
three fourths of the territory is in
Guided within the contour of 5000
feet. All that part of the territory
which lies above the 1000 feet con
tour is rugged mountains of PERCEPTIONS
slope and deeply scored face. Their eli
matte purpose is to extract the rain from
the atmosphere for the benefit of the
lower levels; they do more than this, for
the rain carries away the desintegrating
rock to enrich the plateau and the valley
beneath. Arizona faces the prevailing
humid wind and opposes to it flight Of
steps; New Mexico is almost entirely on
the leeward side of the mountain ranges
and exposes a minimum of bluff surface
to the wind. Hence arise different eli
matte conditions.
The elevation of the barometer cisterp
of the weather bureau station at Santa
Fe is 6,998 above mean tide of the Gulf of
Mexico, and the barometer is 81 feet above
the base of the monument in the main
plaza, SO that the altitude of Santa Fe is
approximately 6,967 feet above sea level.
A resume of the records for % years
shows that great extremes in temperature
are seldom reached, the lowest recorded
tenn perature being 10 degrees below zero
in January, 1888, and the highest So in
July, 1878, in Santa Fe.
During the present decade the highest
absolute temperature has not exceeded
80 degrees, and in comparison of these
tenn peratures withextremes of the more
humid sections of the eastern states and
the Mississippi valley the extreme dry
ness of the air must be considered; that
the heat experienced by the human body
is some 10 to Is degrees less than that
shown by the metallic thermometer,
temperature of 80 degrees in the shade at
Santa Fe being about equal to rs degrees
in st. Louis
The following table taken from the
reports of the climate and crop service
of the bureau will give general idea of
the relative intensity of heat as indicated
by the metallic thermometer.

"The powers freely extended the women
of Zuni are many, being particularly
favorable to them in domestic matters,
and in everything pertaining to the
home," writes Edward Page CASTOR in the
("Woman's Home Companion" "These
lpecnliar liberties are manifest before
marriage as we'll as after, for the alleged
privileges of leap year hold rule con

daughters of the tribe take an amored

of her choice of prospective husband.

ton is i'm parted in due time to his family !;
and if the yet perhaps unsuspecting sub
ject of the selection is suited, in turn he
makes, through the mutual parents, an
engagement to visit his admirer at home.
He is received somewhat formally by the
maiden and her family, when something
like the following laconic conversation
ensues between the young people, while
the father and mother, with the other
memb ers of the household, sit apart,
amiably pretending not to listen:
"'Thou comest,' she says.
"'Yes; how be ye these many daysY he
answers.
"'Happy. Gather and SIT and she mo

As a neverfailing hospitality on the
part of hostess, when a visitor enters a
Zuni home she places food before him
and bids him loosen his belt and lessen

polite impression that he is a light eater

Stations.

1t will be observed that the difference
is less than that given in comparison
first above noted. This demonstrates
the decrease in the difference between the
absolute and sensible tenn perature as the
intensity in heat becomes less, until in
midwinter, the difference is slight and
low tenn peratures are therefore fairly
comparable.
The thermal conditions, especially in
summer, are not what might be expected
at this latitude, owing to the environment
The average temperature during the
summer months is about 81 degrees,
about the temperature of the upper
lake region, while in winter it is about
the same as that of the Ohio valley. "It
is much cooler in summer than any other
point, covered by the records of the
bureau in the same latitude in the United
States and cooler than most stations with
a latitude of less than Al to AZ degrees
It is the extreme southern point of the
cool region of the United States"
