WOMAN AND HOME.
ROYAL MAIDS OF HONOR.
"A Popular Order just Issued by the
Cznrina of Russia.


Cznrina of Russia.
The young csarina is about to in
crease the number of her maids of
honor and of those who attend upon the
| grand duchess OF her court. This is a
measure that meets with enthusiastic
approval, for the post of maid of honor
TO any one of the Imperial princcsses
--and more especially the empress-is
most eagerly sought after by the noble
families of Russia. This measure does
not please Princess Kotchoubey who is
the most important lady at the court of
Russia.
From time out of date it has been the
privilege of the royal ladies of Russia
to receive personal attendance and serv-
ice from high-born damsels, the unmar-
ried daughters of noblemen and belted
knights. From the middle ages to the
present time it seems an understood
thing that their imperial mistresses
should find for them husbands of noble
birth and fortune, should dover them
handsomely if their parents are unable
to do so, bestow upon them costly mar
riage gifts, be present either in per-
SS'' ~
ding ceremonies and stand as sponsors
to their first-born children. Thus, there
are many reasons why the post of maid
of honor is eagerly desired by all the
daughters of the Russian aristocracy,
and why the czarina's new determina-
ton to add to their number delights her
subjects.
In England many privileges accrue
from this position. Formerly the maids
of honor were chosen for their youth
and beauty-"the highest in rank and
the fairest;" but Queen Victoria selects
her ladies for their companionable quail
tiles, for their accomplishments, and
from motives of personal affection. On
being appointed they receive and enjoy
for life the title of honorable" sal
ary of 81, 500 year, and the gift of 1000
when they are married. The latter sum
is, however, not given to a maid of honor
unless she has held her appointment for
a certain number of years.
The maids of honor are in waiting
Hree or four times u year, and their

IMPERIAL REeALIA.
Famous French Relics Under thS
Hammer In London.

Crown jewels, says an English news
paper, do not often find their way into
the market, and it was not surprising
to find that the sale of portion of the
French imperial regalia aroused more
than usual interest in the auction room
of Messrs. Debenham, Storr g. Sons.
The lot was a remarkable one in many
respects. 1t was complete garniture

Phoenix is tie centre of f'tlie greatest irriga- tion in the Territory. The country for miles around smiles with green fields, cover cd with almost countless herds of catti;, and it IS everywhere shut in by low mount Government Indian School, the Territorial Lunatis Asylum, and other institutions, @a:l l. the general focus for the Territory.

YUMA COUNTY

4 white man first set foot on what is Sow Yuma County in l77l. It IS tue southwest division of the Territory, and one of the four original counties of the Ter '7itery. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in few ycers ex- poet to see Yuma Courty Tatea as the richest in the f'erri56lv.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali fornia catches of Arizona is tEat of the picturesque town of Yuma, which Is 5nUgly situated in the embrace of gentle rolling hills, upon whose crests and sides the modern htuies Of cur superior civilization are crowding the adobe dwellings into eternal oblivion. Yuma is the gateway to Arizona, the new empire of the West, upon whose undeveloped riches the eyes of the country are at present turned, and as such, eteis bound to grow and prosper with rapidity that at present can hardly be re- alized. But coupled with her geographi- cal position we find that she is the center oE 8 country whose agricultura' possibili- ties are practically unlimited, being sur founded by soil the fertility Of which exceeds that of the delta Of the Nile, and wanting oaly water to become paradise Of bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious fluid have annually gone. to waste at Yuma's very doors, but already reaction Is taking place and many enterprises are on foot to supply the life-giving waters of +he yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

It's Attractions and Advantages as 8
 Place of Residence in Winter.

Whitelaw Reid. owner and editor of the New York Tribune, N ho has spent the last two wint CTS in Arizona for the benefit of his health, writes entertainingly and in structively concerning that part of the country. NIT. Reid says;
 So many questions are asked about Ari- zona as place for winter residence, and there appears to be such dearth of pre- else information among many who are vitaIly interested, that it seems almost q public duty, to set down, in the simplest form, few facts of personal observation.
 WEATHER,
 During q five months residence in Southern Arizona in winter there was but one day when the weather made it actually unpleasant for me to take exercise in the open air at some time or other during the day. Of course there were good many days which weather observer would de- scribe as cloudy" and some that were "showery; but during these five months ifrom November, 1895, to May, lS96,l there were only four days when we did not have brilliant sunshine at some time dur ing the day. Even more than Egypt, any where north of Luxor, Arizona is the laud of sunshine As to details:

AIR.

The atmosphere is singularly clear, tonic and dry. 1 have never seen it clearer anyw here in the world. It seems to have about the same bracing and exhilarating qualities as the air of the Great Sahara in Northern Africa, or of the deserts about Mount Sinai, in Arabia Petraea. It is much drier than in the parts of Morocco, Algiers or Tunis usually visited, and drier than any part of the Valley of the Nile north of the Fils5 Cataract. It seems to me about the same in quality as the air on the Nile between Assouan and Wady. Halfa, but somewhat cooler.
 ACTUAL HUMIDITY.
 This is extremely slight, everywhere in Arizona, as compared with any eastern climate in the United States. The air is driest on the high mesas, remote from snowclad mountains or forests, and in the desert valleys, where no considerable irri- gation has been begun. Wherever irrlga- tion is carried on on large scale, the percentage of humidity in the atmosphere must be somewhat increased, although to an eastern visitor it is scarcely perceptible, The same Government observations al ready cited show relative humidity. at Phoenix or Tucson, averaged for weeks, from morning and evening readings, at less than half the usual humidity on dry days in New York. General Greedy, in pub- lication from the Weather Bureau, gave the normal weight of aqueous vapor in the Arizona air at from 11S to grains per cnbic foot.

TEMPERATURE.

I have seen the thermometer mark 92 degrees in the shade on my north piazza in March On the other hand, we had frosts which killed young orange trees, and there were several nights when thin ice formed. The government reports show a mean temperature for fourt cen years at the pres ent territorial capital of 574 degrees in November, 53 degrees III December, 49 de- grees in January, 54 degrees in February, 6l degrees in March and 66 degrees in April. The same reports show the highest and lowest temperatures, averaged for eight years, at the same place, as follows: For November 7811a degreesa and 42 degrees, December 731a degrees and 361a degrees, January 651I degrees and B degrees, Feb ruary 7l1a degrees and 351a de rees, March Sl1a degrees and fl degrees and April S61a degrees and 46 degrees. The nights throughout the winter are apt to be cool enough for open wood fires, and for blankets. Half the time an overcoat is not needed during the day, but it is never prudent for stranger to be without one at hand

RAIN

Showers, and indeed heavy rains are liable to occur in every month of the year; but the actual number of rains seems to an eastern visitor strangely small The average rainfall in Southern Arizona, as shown by the Government observations. Is but s 1I inches per year.

ATTITUDES.

Itls striking advantage offered by Arizona that, with the same general con- ditions as to temperature and dryness of air, tue physician is able to select nearly any altitude he may desire. Thus, asth- matic sufferers can find almost the sea level at Yuma, or an altitude Of only d thousand feet at Phoenix, or of only 2,400 at Tucscs. Others, who find no objection to greater elevations. can choose between Prescott ar Fort NFhipple, 5,400; Flsg- staff. 6, 600,; tte Satphur Spring Valley, or Fort Grant. 1, POD; Fort Huachuoa. 1. soc, CT Oracle, about 4,G0a

As little will hc fad the historic remains or the cosmopolitan attractions of Egypt; nor could he reasonable expect the amusements and luxuries of our own Eastern cities. The people of Arizona are still chiefly busy in the pioneer work of subduing it to the residence and uses of civilized man. But it has two transcontinental lines Of railw ay with numerous feeders; it has fast mails, and rival telegraph lines, and is throhbing with the intense life of the splendid West.
 The two principal towns in the south crn portion, chiefly sought for their climatic advantages are Phoenix and Tucson. Each of them has ten thousand inhabitants or more. They have the electric light, telc- phones, trolley cars, plenty Of hotels, banks, bookstores, good schools, churches, an occasional theatrical performance. some times lecture or a circus, often horse race, and, in the spring, thoroughly curious and interesting "iesta, For the cest, people must take their amusemants with them, Good horses are abundant and cheap, and there are plenty of cow boys-the genuine article-to show what horses can do. The driving for fifteen or twenty miles in almost any direction from Phoenix; is nearly always easy. Tire roads are apt to be dusty; but there IS one we'll sprinkled drive of six or eight miles; and since the winds are quite regular in their direction, it is rarely difficult to choose a route or which the dust will be largely carried away from you. The unbrokeu desert itself is often as easy to drive over
 as an Eastern highway, aud the whole valley is paradise for bicyclers, or oqucs- trains.
