The capital Of all these interminable
miles of burning, blazing plains; Of tor
rent-torn arroyos; Of bare, rugged, rag
ged, deeply gulched mountains, that shim-
mer and scintillate in the hot sun, and
turn into marvellous blues, yellows and
puppies, as the sun wheels from east to
west, is Ell Paso, the great gateway OF
Mexico, and to which nearly all the trans
continental roads are tending. Many have
already made their connections, and run
cars through to Mexico City and Other
points. It is the most important town for
a radius Of 600 miles in all directions.
and the market and supply point for
large portion Of Western Texas, Arizona,
New Mexico, Chihuahua and Sonora.
Thither they ship their ores to be smelted,
and there they buy their mining supplies.
The next important towns are San An
tonic, 600 miles east, and Los Angeles, 600
miles west; so that Ell Paso is the metrop-
oils of an empire in extent. It is thrlV-
ing town of $4,000, with rapid increase
of population, the influx being largely rail
road men, miners, merchants and those
doing business with the ranchers. The
Rio Grande, which comes down from New
Mexico, makes here q sharp turn to the
southeast to form the boundary line be-
tween the United States and Mexico. Its
valley widens out for a shorter distance
to FIVE or sig miles, and on part Of this
at an elevation Of 5000 feet above the
level Of the sea, Ell Paso is situated. The
buildings are mostly new, substantially
constructed, and Of tasteful designs
Around each dwelling and in the plaza
are shade trees and grass-plots, kept liv-
ing BY careful irrigation.

At Del Rio, in Valverde County, $50
miles west of San Antonio, comes the first
glimpse of the Rio Grande, swiftly-rol-
ing, turbid stream, 100 yards wide, sweep
ing through canyon several times as
broad, but which it fills when the torren-
tial rains over the bare hills and rocks of
an empire in extent make it rage in the
madness of limitless power. On either
side the canyon the gray rocks, laid in gi-
gantic courses, like the masonry of Ii
tans, rise up straight and wall-like for
hundreds of feet. Away from them roll
the hills in endless waves of sterile, blaz-
ing sand, spotted with green patches of
coarse desert growth, without a tree, or
even a gnarled and wind-beaten shrub to
break the mOnotony of sweeping curves.
| And SO it goes with unbroken, blazing.
sterile sameness for hundreds and hun
dreds of miles more. Everywhere the
white, hot sand and layers of rock planned
off to walls by millions Of years of rush
tile prickly pears, bristling stands Of
Spanish bayonets," with stiff, thick
sword-like leaves, and starved looking
sprays Of greasewood and sage bush. But,
somehow, long-legged, long-horned cattle
find a living there, though it would seem
that they would have to browze over whole
Counties to find as much food as an acre
Of pasture land produces. We passed a
solitary drove of black pigs, gaunt, and
imbed like a woman's sewing table.
"Great Scott, look at the Maud S. legs

with me. But then the, need it They
must run ten miles for every blade Of

HINTS ANENT

To clean dust or CRIME from light
clothes first brush thoroughly, then
rub with cornmeal, using a piece of
light cloth for the rubbing. By this
simple process cream-tan broadcloth
coats and skirts, so much worn now,
may be entirely freshened and cleaned.
Grease spots must be removed by SOL
vents or absorbents. If the spot be
fresh and the color of the fabric will
not be changed by heat, the easiest
method Of removal is to place white
blotting paper above and under the
spot, and then to stand a hot iron on
it-not hot enough to color the paper.
Another effective measure is to cover
the spot with pulverized French chalk,
dry, or with the same chalk o. fuller's
earth moistened in benzine, to remain
twenty-four hours. and then be re-
newed if necessary, always brushing
it off, however, with a soft brush. A
little ammonia slightly diluted makes
a capital cleanser for a greasy coat
collar. Velvet collars may be treated
in the same way, and the pile raised
by holding close to a hot iron as soon
as the cleansing operation is conf
pleted.

LOOSEN THE BED CLOTHES.

the bed toilet by daylight, she has 9TH

posted the pitcher of drinking water,

tolls and a 'nightcap" were one in or

and slippers, candlestick and matches

and she has opened the window by low
