Freezing Weather in July.

Would cause great discomfort and
loss, but fortunately it is seldom known.
A vast amount of misery is caused at
this season, however, by impoverished
blood, poor appetite and general debility.
These conditions may be remedied by
enriching the blood and toning the
stomach with Hoods Sarsaparilla. This
medicine seems to put new life into the
whole physical system, simply be-
cause of its wonderful power to purify,
enrich and vitalize the blood, create an
appetite and ~invigorate the digestive
functions. We advise you to get a bot
tie and try it if you are not feeling just
right. 1t will do you more good than a
six weeks vacation. 1t is the best med
icine money can buy.

Santa Fee owes much of its beauty dur
ing the summer to its many orchards
and gardens that embower the homes
Of the city in green foliage. Viewed
from the surrounding hills the city
looks like a green oasis in the desert.
This year, on account of the lateness
of the season and the prevailing drouth,
has not been a very favorable one, still
Santa Fe can this year show gardens
of beauty. For instance the bishops
GARDEN of Grant Rivenburg, is as
idyllic a spot as one would wish
to visit. 1t is a grateful surprise to
the visitor to Santa to discover such
a lovely spot hidden from the
main thoroughfares and apparently iso-
lated from the world. Here he will lind
| shady walks over acres and acres OF
| orchard and forest. Rare varieties OF
. trees and shrubs can be found in every
nook and the orchard is a delight to
behold. The shady paths are lined
with hundreds of currant bushes Whlch
at this season of the year are loaded
down with red berries. A large pond
with several islands and rustic bridges
and filled with fish is the most beautiful
spot in the garden. Here the thick
foliage and occasional glimpse OF the
| sky are reflected in a marvellous man
ner by the placid water and birds can
be heard singing in the trees the whole
day long. Roses grow in wild abandon
at one spot in the garden and there are
a dozen varieties of the most beautiful
to be found in Santa Fe. There are
other flowers, too, and q part OF the
garden is reserved for a vegetable plot
Blackberry vines run riot in one par
and in another are evergreen trees Will
their balsam odor. There are many
paths, some of them leading to The
Quaint adobe wall from which a prett.
view is obtained of the mountains ant
of the Santa Fe river, and others II
smaller adjoining gardens or the hide
entrance on College street. Taken al
in all, the prettiest spot in Santa fe to
day seems to be the Bishops garden.

of six men, or for maximum conditions
eight men, the ammunition can be fairly

this four men are capable of effecting. The

The most exacting work is demanded of

slightest hitch in the movement. He fairly

scarcely has the empty case left the breech

officers of the army and navy are specu-
lating as to the amount of ammunition
which would in all probability be expended
in action when these new semi-automatic
pieces are employed. The comparatively
slow-firing six-pounders of the American
fleet before Santiago succeeded in expend-
ing on July B, 1898. something like 1000
shells. 1t Is pretty safe to assume that
had sem-automatic weapons been employed
there would have been fired in the same
time two and one-half times az many shots
IT was the six-pounder ammunition at San
lago which so early in the fight drove the
Spanish gunners from their pieces Had
the six-pounder fire been intensified, as
would have been possible had semi-auto-
matte weapons been employed, it Is fair to
presume that the action would have end
