This Summer.
General Manager Eddy. of the White

AID representative gave come time
ly and certainly to be appreciated sug
gestions to the Ell Pasoans who will HE
away the coming summer months to
that picturesque, enchanting and rO-
mantle spot in the CLOUDS.
I'VE are anticipating an enormous
summer travel to the delightful resort,
and the pilgrims will come in from
N any states. Perhaps it Ia not gener al
~ known that there are sleeping &C
comm0datiOns for only one hundred per-
sons In ClOudcroft and it Ia reasonable
TO presume that health and pleasure
seekers from various states distant from
Texas and in fact Ell Paso people gen.
orally are not aware of this condition
of things. However, l desire to suggest
for the benefit of persons here in Ell
Paso who are contemplating summer
vacation in Cloudoroft, it would be an
excellent idea to bring along a tick or
bedding. This move would tend to avoid
any disappointment to the traveller
on reaching the place. This tnforma-
ton will not perhaps reach many at
distant point, but as q matter of CON-
venience and Incidentally to avoid any
annoyance or Inconvenience l certain
ly hope Ell Pasoans will appreciate the
situation in ADVANCE
Speaking of the Captain coal fields,
the general manager had much to say
of valued interest.
1.-THE camp Is scene of cesseless
activity, bus we are short handed for
coal miners. A car load OF first class
coal miners, however, reached here
last week aud were sent out over
our road TO the mines. These men are
from Colorado and are strictly fret
olass in their chosen line. This por-
ton of the United States has been
widely and extensively advertised
through the medium of these coal
mines and the excellent facilities for
getting the stuff into Ell Paso. We
are still short of good coal miners, but
will remedy the difficulty as quickly as
the men can be got there"

MONEY IN OUNCES.
There /. No reason why This Fruit
should Not BE Grown Wherever
Apples Thrive.

< = ~ -; LIS + Z
One of the fruits that should be more
generally grown than it is is the
ounce, which is nearly always in goo0
demand for canning and sells at good
prices. Ounces are not so dear as they
were years ago, when they were held az
monopoly by farmers in certain sec
tions, owing to the belief that this
tree was easily killed by severe cold
weather. This was the fact until it
was learned that this winter killing
was due to the freezing of the roots.
Ounce roots run near the surface, and
even when the soil only freezes few
inches deep, that freezing so cuts of
the supply of sap that even. the slight
circulation which exists in all live
trees during cold weather cannot be
supplied, and the tree cannot be saved.
It was once, thought that ounce trees
needed low, wet ground, mainly be-
cause snow lies here when it will not
on high land unless protected Where
ounce trees are planted on high and
dry soil it should be somewhere near
fence, SO that snow may bank up
against it and protect the trees. This
snow protection exposes the ounce
tree to be injured by mice, and if deep
bank forms around the tree it will
break down the limbs by, crushing
them to the earth. Probably the best
protection around ounce orchard is
row of evergreens, whose branches
are SO near the ground that snow will
not drift under them. On dry land the
ounce roots go deeper and the soil will
stand pretty deep freezing without be-
ing injured.-American Cultivator.

An Optician snys the strong sum
light in This Country Hurts
n the Eyes.

''There are more people with de
fective eyesight in the cities of this
country than you will find in Great
Britain or Ireland" said the natural
lied New Yorker who served in the
British army when he was a very young
man and who is now an optician. Il
do not judge by the number of people
who wear glasses here, as in Ameri-
can cities glasses are worn if there
is the slightest trace of nearsighted-
ness, while few persons wear glasses
for this cause in the old country unless
they are SO nearsighted that the wear
ing of glasses is positive necessity.
But, taking it on the whole, there are
more people here whose eyesight be-
gins to fail at a comparatively early
age than in England, Ireland or Scot
land, and fewer people who have ex-
ceptionally keen eyesight. !. ,s
"In. the British army you will find
q dozen men with exceptionally good
eyesight for one that you will find in
the American army, and know a good
many soldiers in this coqntry.I once
knew. a private. of the first leicester
regiment who has since been killed in
the fighting near Ladysmith. This
man had such keen sight that heacould
tell'the time by church clock at a dis.
lance of several miles, yet, strange to
relate, he could not read very small
print in book. I also knew aman

heather dim and blurred ins the dis
lance, was seen by him as an ambus-
cade cunningly, concealed and brist-
ling with Boer rifemen. His splendid
sight. on that occasion saved him and
his comrades an unpleasant surprise
81 have heard of American soldiers
who are sharp-sighted, but, as said
before, their number is much smaller
in proportion than in the British army.
One of these Americans is a. man
named Cullen, who can see objects
clearly at a distance of ~ miles. Dur
ing the Spanish war Cullen, who is
an artillery man, aided his battery
very materially in sighting the guns
for long ranges and always by hisSun-
aided vision.
II account for the standard of eye
sight being better in the old country
than here principally because of the
gray skies there. There are so few
sunny days in Great Britain and Ire
land that the eyes are not subjected
to the same strain as in this country
where there is a far greater proportion
of sunny days. and, the suns rays are
more vertical than i'm more northeren
countries. The glare has undoubted-
ly much to do with bringing about
the decay of the eyesight at an early
age. Another reason is the nervous
temperament of Americans. The OPP
tic nerve is very delicate and responds
quickly to any strain on the nervous
system."-N. Y. Sun.

Mrs. Williams thought so, too. Some

in an exploit which will not soon be

The weather was still very cold.
Snow lay on the ground, and the two
feet or more Of ice on the lake had not
as yet broken, up, or thawed percep
tibly. Just across the lake from Link
Mills, a crew of loggers with their
teams were ''browing" spruce logs. Al
sunset they were. not a little surprised
to see the ministers wife approaching
on the ice. Her errand was soon made
known. She wished to hire them to
draw the new parsonage to Marston,
and she wanted to have the job done
before six o'clock on the following
morning!
H& The foreman of the crew laughed,
and returned an evasive answer. Find
ing that the men could not be induced
to attempt such queer and doubtful
job, merely for hire, Mrs. Williams
then told the whole story, and appealed
to them to help her through with her
project. This appeal put different
complexion on the affair. 1t tickled
the humor and, no doubt, touched the
hearts of the lumbermen.1 as,, xs. ..-s,: =.

CHILD THRIFT IN FRANCE.
How the Young Are Encouraged t,

800. "a. Plan.

Thrift is a habit which requires to
be formed early. The boy or girl who
does not realize the value of money
is not likely to be prudent later in life.
Like other habits, good or bad, thrift
is contagious. The child who saves
pennies instead of spending them, and
is able to show a bank book, arouses
emulation in others. Whatever en-
courages children to save small sums
of money, does good, not only by pre-
venting immediate waste of money,
but by creating among children pub
lie sentiment favorable to thrift
What is done in this country by vol
untary organizations is done on a
larger scale in France by the savings
banks. The children of the common
schools deposit with their teachers
any sum of money they save, from a
sou, which is about equal to an Ameri-
can cent, upward.
Once month agents of the savings
banks go the rounds of the schools
and collect the children's savings. He
who deposits but single sou receives
small handbook, and when he has
deposited franc he receives a large
bank-book. ss.s4
During the past II years French boys
and girls have opened more than half
q million accounts in the savings
banks. Many children, or their parents
for them, deposit in an endowment
fund which is meant to give them
capital Of FROM one to two thousand
dollars when they become of age
It is worth considering whether, i'm
this country, some modiicat ton of the
French plan is practicable by which
savings banks should cooperate with
school-teachers in promoting the habit
OF saving among children. - Youths
