when the weather made ii actually un-
pleasant for me 10 take exercise in the
open air at some time or other during
the day. & course there were good
many days which a weather observer
would descrinc as cloudy aut some
that were 'showery,' but during the five
months from November, 1896 to May.
1866 there were only four days when
we did not have brilliant sunshine az
some time during the dav. Even more
than Egyp:, anywhere north o, Luxor,
Arizona is the land OF the sunshine.
The nights throughout the winter are
apt to be cool enough for wood nres
and blankets. Hall the time an over
coat is not needed during the day. but II
is never prudent for a stranger to be
without one at hand.

of the valley of the Nile north of Catar-

"As to food there is plenty. and it is
good. From here the markets OF Los
Angeles, aud even of D, uvei are largely
supplied. Good beef, mutton and poui-

and venisou from the vicinity can also
be had. Vegetables and fruits are abund.

season is a long one. 1t IS the one coun-

ripen in the open air ten months in the

fresh picked from the open gardens, at
Christmas.

tilted. He will find as many churches
as in towns otcorrcsponding size IN Penn
sylvania or Ohio. and probably more
school houses, and yet he will find plenty
of LIQUOR shops, too, and gambling
houses, and, yet he will see little disorder

DR.. A. w. Olcott, health officer of Tue
son, savs:-"The climate of Tucson is
characterized by pure, dry, invigoratng
air: small amount of rainfall, and an
shining sun. 1t is surrounded by
mountains which cut off the chilling
winds of winter, and the dreaded sand
storms of most arid regions. Its south
