 Place Of Residence ill Winter.
 Whitelaw Reid owner and editor of the New York Tribune, who has spent the last two w1nte CTS in Alizona for the benefit of his health, writes entertainingly and in structively concerning that part of the country. Mir. Reid says:
 So many questions are asked about Ari- zona as @ place for winter residence, and there appears to be such a deartb of pre- else information among many who are yitally interested, that it seems almost q public duty, to set down, i'll the simplest form, a few facts of personal observation.
 WEATHER.
 During a 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 "showcry; but during these five months tfrom No, ember, 1895, to May, 1896, ] 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 aud of sunshine. As to details:
 TEMPERATURE.
 1 have seen the thermometer mark 92 degrees in the shade on my north piazza in March. On the other hand, we had frostg which killed young orange trees, and there were several nights when thin ice formed. The government reports show mean { temperature for fourt years at the pres ent territorial capital of 57I degrees in November, 8 degrees in December, % de- groeS in January, II degrees in February, q degrees in March and 6G degrees il

VALLEYS OF THE COLORADO AND
 CHA,

In the valleys of the Colorado and the Gila rivers there is room for thousands. It is not too much to say that nowhere within the limits of this broad Union can be found a more desirable region for the making of a home. No laborious clearing of the land is required; it lies almost ready for the blow Trees and shrubbery have so rapid growth that within eighteen months the immigrant can surround his abode with attractions which would require years to mature in less favored climates. Fruits ripen and are ready for market full month before the California products. The bright sunshine makes life luxury, and the pure dry atmos- phere brings health to all who inhale it. For the establishment of colonies, such as are made in southern California, Arizona pre- sents unrivaled opportunities. Thousands of acres now prohtless can be made produc- tive by the construction of irri gating ditches, and there is no investment which assures larger or more permanent returns,
 The statement in this article on Yuma county are not exaggerated; in fact they fall short Of doing justice in this wonderful bit oi country. Pineapples, dates, almonds and waluuts will do well Strawberries, rasp- berries, blackberries, currants, goosebcrries, and all varieties of small fruits can be suc- cessfully cultivated Indeed. Yuma County l is not only the natural home of the citrus and semitropical fruits, as almost every fruit, nut, plant, grain, grass, or vegetable which ca:: be produced in either tropic of temperate zones will thrive in the rich and fertile soils.
 With the bright prospects ahead of the town of Yana and Yuma County there can be TO better investment for capital seeking large and renumerative returns than is af- forded here. With matchless climate, where all forms of disease known to the damp and rigorous regions of the east and north are unknown, where the bright sum- shine kisses into bloom and fragrance every form of vegetation, and where the clear days and cool and balny nights are one long-con- tinued poem of happiness and delight, we can offer to capitalists an ideal field for in vestment and to home seekers a veritable paradise in which to settle.

Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and iu a few years eX- rect to see Yuma County rated as the richest in the Territory.
 Tie Gys5 glimpse the traveller from Cali fornia catches of Arizona is that of the rictproseue town of Yuma, which is snugly situated in the embrace of gentle rolling hills. upon whose crests and sides the modern homes of cur superior civilization are croadiug the adobe dwellings into eternal oblivion. Yuma is the gateway to Arizona, the new empire of the West, upon whose undereloped riches the eyes of the country are at present turned, and as such,
 is Lcund to grow and prosper with sapidity that at present can hardly be re- alized. But coupled with her geographl- cal position we find that she is the center Of q country whose agricultural possiDlA- lies are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by a soil the fertility os which exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and wanting o4iy water to become paradise oi bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious fluid have annually gone to waste at Yuma's very doors, butalready reaction is taking place and many enterprises are on fcot to supply the Hie-giving waters ot tbe yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

IS IT A LAwLEss COUNTRY?

The man who goes to any considerable Arizona town with the idea of the South west derived from novels, or from "The Arizona Kicker" will be greatly mystifed. He will lind as many churches as in towns of corresponding size in Pennsylvania or Ohio: and probably more schoolhouses. He will find plenty of liquor-shops. too, and gambling houses, and dancebouses, and yet he will see little disorder unless he hunts
 late at night for it. and he will be apt to fnd-as at Pheenix-a community of ten thousand people requiring in the daytime only one policeman. and hardly requiring him. During my winter there I did not see single disturbance in the streets. or half dozen drunken men, all told. Min ing men and an occasional cowboy certainlv had quamels, sometimes, in the disorderly quarters at night; and there were stories of the use of the knife among Mexicans: but the visitor who went about his own business had as little trouble as on Board way or Chestnut street. The Pima and Maricopa Indians. who are encountered everywhere. have been friendly with the whites for generations, and there isn't an Apache within some hundreds of miles.

It seems to have about the same braoiu- and exhilarating qualitics as the air of the Great Sahara in NortherD Africa, or of the deserts about Mount Sinai in Arabia Petraea. It is much 6.tert than n the parts of Morocco, Algiers or iuis usually visited, and drier than an part of the valley of the Nile north ot the First Cataract.

The National Fraternal Congress,
composed Of about forty-five Of the
leading fraternal societies has taken
notice of the danger to this class of
institutions from reckless and in
furious competition among them
selves. The experience of the past
thirty years has taught that any
institution paying death claims, be
ginning with a membership ranging
in age from Is to 80 years, will ex-
perience a low death rate at first.
gradually increasing as the meni-
bership grows older, circumstance
which exposes the older orders to
the effective competition of the
newer and younger ones. This sit
uation remaining unchanged would
lead to constant succession of
such orders, the newer and cheaper
ones continually sappiug the life
from the older, and each in its fail
ure would leave large class of
members who have paid for pro-
lection, but in the eud would find
themselves without it. The Fra
ternal Congress has taken up the
question with n view OF determining
what rates can be safely made on
which such societies can perma-
nently maintain themselves, and
to bring about such action as will
secure their enforcement in all
societies alike, which will place the
fraternal societies on a permanent
and enduring footing, and protect
them against the circumstances
above referred to. 1t is to be hoped
that the Congress will be successful,
and that the Older societies which
have done magnificent work shall
not in the end be forced to the wall
by young competitors, to run over
the same experience and reach the
same disastrous end Ouerseer.

A Timely illustration.

Just now the great Order that we
love SO well has reached a great
crisis in its great history Tried
and true Brothers have prepared a
way for it out of its difficulties,
but their success will much depend
on the unity of the support which
they receive. And yet from some
quarters come the most unkind
criticism, not only of the wisdom
of their plans, but of their personal
motives as we'll. Does such criti-
cism help the Order? Or does it
weaken the Order by weakening
the force Of the work in its behalf?
President Lincoln once gave the
following excellent illustration of
unwise criticism: "Gentlemen, sup
pose all the property you We're
worth was in gold, and you bad
put it into the hands of Blondin to
carry across Niagara Falls on a
rope, would you shake the cable, or
keep shouting to him, 'Blondin,
stoop little more; 60 on little
faster; lean more to the south.
No, you would hold your breath as
well as your tongue, aud keep your
hands off until he was safe over."--

plan of assessment? Should we
exercise less charity towards one
another as members of the Order
than we would exercise to some
one who is stranger to the Order?
Does our obligation as Work man
authorize and permit indiscriminate
unjustifiable and false accusations
concerning another mem ber of the
Order and the motives which actu-
ate him in his personal and official
relations with his fellow members?
Because man is our Brother in
fraternal Order should we treat him
less respectfully, and charitably,
and manfully than we would if he
was not our fraterndl Brother p

There never was a business yet
that was made profitable without
hard work, and tins holds good in
regard to fraternalzOrders. No one
has right to expect a liberal in
crease for small outlay unless he
or she has earned it. Those who
work to increase the mem bership,
who attend the meetings, and those
who always have a good word for
the Order are entitled to all they
get And ON the other hand, those
who never attend the meetings,
who are always ready to run the
Order down and find fault because
they have so many assessments to
pay, are invariably the ones who
expect most and who should get the
least They are the drones in a
iraternal Orders busy hive, who
live on the honey that the busy
workers have made. unwilling to
help, but insisting on having their
share-E1.
