ern winds; other mountains closer stand
guard to shelter the Santa Fe valley,
which lies at their feet. To the east a
range keeps out the cold northers as
they rush southwark to Texas. West
ward also, nature has i%nterposed bar
riers to shield New Mexico from gales,
and when a wind finds It's way up the
winding Rio Grande, Santa Fee receives
but the feather edge Of the blow.
NEW MEXICO SANITARIUMS.
Sunny. bright days mark the winter
season, which, until Christmas at least,
is quite as delightful as the glorious
summer, though crisp and cool. Even
the spring months in Santa Fe cannot
be equaled for mildness in any eastern
state. While hundreds of tourists visit
the city in summer and make a more or
less ~protracted stay, the number who
come to remain permanently for the Gu
rative effect upon tu%berculous diseases
is all the while increasing. The proper
ton of the latter will be undoubtedly
enlarged in consequence ot the indorse-
ment given New Mexico's climate by
the United States marine hospital serv-
ice, which has In 1899 established two
permanent sanitariums in the territory,
and will maintain them as homes for
soldiers and sailors afflicted or threat
ened with tubercular troubles. Many
years Of life at New Mexico army posts
and a careful examination by experts
led the authorities to take this action
1t Is also intended to remov to New
Mexico consumptive inmates of soldiers
homes in California and eastern states.
Favorable conditions exist all over
New Mexico for restoration to health or
for improving the condition Of such SUI
a dry, aseptic air, light atmos-
pheric pressure, well drained soil, a
Of cold and heat, the absence
Of great changes in temperature and a
of sunshine.
SUNSHINE RECORDS.
As to the latter point, the latest fig
available from the government rec
ords are those Of 1897, the year book of
1898 having not yet been published. The
summer of 1897, as 1t happened, was un-
usually cloudy and rainy at Santa Fe,
yet the superiority Of this city in the
Of days that were sunny
can be seen by a few COM
PARSONS with places in various parts of

der ruf1es, yokes and scarfs, and a plas-
iron or skirt panel is sometimes entirely
covered with them, set so closely that the
heading does not show.
The role played by trimmings this win
ter is extremely important. The form of
the gown is unchanged, and as it has
been reduced to the simplest denomina-
ton it is only by a variety Of decorations
that diversity of effect can be secured;
hence there has seldom been a season
when devices for o~rnamentation were so
plentiful.
The princess costume depicted is of
pearl gray satin cloth. At the middle Of
the skirt is a wide, pointed band Of emer-
aid green velvet, bordered by fiat folds of
pearl gray satin. The short bolero Of EN-
erald velvet is bordered with gray satin
folds and is closed at the side by. three
velvet buttons. The velvet sleeves have
cuffs of gray satin folds, and the plated
collar Is of velvet. The hat Of emerald
velvet is trimmed with spangled orna-
ments and black feathers.

A startling incident, of which Mr..
John Oliver, of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows:
II was In a most dreadful condition. My
skin was almost yellow, ayes sunken,
tongue coated, pain continually in back
and sides, no appetite-gradually grow
ing weaker day by day. Three physi-
cians had given me up. Fortunately, a
friend advised trying Electric Bitters';
and to my great joy and surprise, the
first bottle made a decided improve
ment. l continued their use for three
weeks, and am now a well a I know

SANTA FE SUMMER.

Were Santa Fe located in sight Of St.
Louis or Chicago, with its present ele-
walton, residents Of such place would
behold a city more than a mile and q
quarter skyward, above the hot, mala-
rial, moisture-soaked earth, in a purer
atmosphere, which all would seek.
Should they behold the city where she
is they would find a still cooler and
purer atmosphere, where there ID little
moisture, a porous soil to drain away
the rain that comes, and a precipitous
descent for escape Of the snow-fed
streams and gorges in sight Of the city.
The records show that no other city
in the same latitude possesses 80 cool a
summer temperature az Santa Fe,
where the average ID 81 degrees and the
change between night and day temper
ature too slight to be detrimental to
health. Thanks to elevation, to wooded
mountains far southwark, and shelter
from the hot winds Of Arizona that are
warded of by the rising series Of noun
tain ranges between Santa Fe and the
sandy, lower levels Of desert, this city
10 the coolest south Of the upper lake
region. It ID far cooler than Denver, has
thermometer readings about as low az
San Diego, and Is free from the humid
heat Of the coast.

Got His Moneys Worth.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
One afternoon not long ago a certain
merry little party of men about town went
out to the track to take in the races. In
the crowd was a gentleman of French ex-
traction, who possesses the usual volatile
temperament of his race. and who had no
sooner reached the ground than he caught
the prevalent infection and drifted TO the
betting ring. His knowledge of bookmak-
ing was extremely limited, and seeing a
horse marked up at 20 to he concluded it
was a good thing, and invested So on the
animal. When he rejoined his friends and
exhibited his ticket there was a roar of de-
rision. What! That old skater they
yelled in chorus We'll, you're certainly g.
very fine sucker" The Frenchman looked
greved. but shrugged his shoulders MIN

craft was planned. and. besides, speedier
than she has ever been before.
In Her Engine Room.
Not only has the ships coal endurance
been restricted as her zig-zag run from
coal pile to coal pile instanced on her home
ward journey, but her firerooms have been
so narrowed that working her boilers has
been a task beyond physical endurance
save at moderate speeds or short stretches
of extra push. With only eight feet be-
tween the facing furnaces of her four main
boilers, her fremen have had to toast be-
tween this double row of glaring, blistering
mouths for the brief moments possible and
then to run into some neighboring coal
pocket to coal off in a temperature of quite
hundred and thirty degrees of trying hui
midity. Just imagine what these faithful
fellows had to bear in that hot, moist,
enervating atmosphere of the far east.
The conditions aboard the Raleigh are
duplicated on her sister ship. the Cincin-
natl, the engineering logs of which are
enough to blister the Imagination, and she,

Built by the Government.
AS every one knows, these ships were
built by the government, the Cincinnati at
New York and the Raleigh at Norfolk, only
after it was found impossible to get them
constructed in private yards within the ap-
preparation limit Horse power develop
ment was the measure of acceptance then.
and each of these ships was required to
make a record of 10000 indicated horse
power. The contractors all saw that such
was out of the question within the ships
