 The Mine and Shelter Supply Go.
 Located conveniently at the junction of the Little Plaza and Fl Paso streets is one of the largest and most complete houses of the kind in the country. That is the Mine and Shelter Supply Co.,. the enormous distribution of mining machinery and supplies throughout the southwest through their local agency in Fl Paso Hosting engines are speciality with this company along with pumps and assay supplies. Of course. there is nothing in the way of general supplies that can possibly be of the slightest use about a mining property that the order cannot be filled from their stock full assortment be- ing carried in this establishment
 We are certain that the extreme courtesy with which every visitor to this house will be met by MT. c. N. Tibbits, the local manager, and his sb1 lieutenants will make them at least feel at home and lasting friends of the house. The Mine and Shelter Supply Co is cheerfully recommended to the thousands of the readers Of the Re view should they require anything in their line.
 W. G. WALz COMPANY
 If there is an old timer that is not familiar with the name of the firm which forms the subject of this arti- cle. they are either unable to read, or should be c'assed with those repre- sented by a cipher with the rim rubbed of For over twenty-two years the senior member of this company has been before the public of the southwest as Durveyors to the public, and always with the best that the markets of the world can produce.
 The w C. Walz Co. is now ineorpora- ted with a capital stock Of $50 600 all paid up so that their gurantee be- hind anything means something. They  handle and carry in stock direct, a magnificent line of upright pianos and organs. in all sf the finest makes known and superb assortment of cases. These instruments are right on the spacious floors of the firms store. from which selection may be made. so that purchasers may see exactly what they are getting The business of the firm in the line of Navajo blankets. Mexican curios. etc. drawn work and matters of that kind are too well known to require any special attention called to them at our hands It is about the only firm in the southwest handling any general assortment of these goods and in a profusion that makes the ordinary shops pretending to do this class of business look like the proverbial thirty cents.

 Commenting on M. Laisant's proposi- ton The Revue Scientihque says:
 This proposal to install subterransan ohservator1es is original and should be fertile. It responds to precise indications; its realization will give valuable results without any doubt; and, finally, its ma terial execution will be relatively easy. There seems to be no reason why 1t should not be carried out at the initiative either of governments or learned societies. But it is so dificult to make the first step outside of the beaten paths. both for in- dividuals and for bodies of persons. that we are not astonished to find that this happy idea of NJ.

TREES THAT CITY LIFE SUITS.
The Ailanthus Grows Best and Films
 Do Wall.

A florists club In Connecticut has been making an investigation to find out what trees are best suited to planting in city streets and how they should be set out to withstand best the unnatural conditions under which they grow.
 The best tree for city life, it seems. is the ailanthus. It is capable of withstand ing almost any possible conditions, such as smoke, dry soil and scanty nourish- ment, and it Is free from insects. Other trees similarly constituted are the cotton wood. white poplar and some forms of willow. Then come the European linden and the English elm. both of which are tougher than the American species.
 For the suburban and semi-urban parts of a city the best all around tree is the American elm. It gives high and not too dense shade, 1t grows rapidly and makes a beautiful leafy arch over a street. But it has the disadvantage of putting out it's leaves very late, shedding them continu- ally and, like the European elm. it has persistent and dangerous enemy in the elm tree beetle.
 For the more open parts of city the red, scarlet, black and pin oaks. the horse chestnuts. haclxberry. silver and red naples and black walnuts are recon1- mended. The rock maple doesn't get along we'll at all It is the first to suc- cumb to city conditions and if it grows 1t has many disadvantages.
 The best plan to adopt in city tree planting. the investigators say. is to set out trees which will attain large si3s if left to grow and to keep them in bounds by severe pruning.

 said a botanst of the Agricultural De- partment is TOW being produced in con siderable quantities in this country and is being used to an alarming extent. In some sections of Wisconsin wormwood is being cultivated and 1t Is from this plant that oil is distilled for making absinthe. It is necessary to give the cultivation of wormwood great care, and certain age Or growth must be reached before it is suited for distilling the oil, an oil which is worth it's weight in gold Ci- matic changes have resulted in making certain sections of Wisconsin favored spots for the growing of wormwood, and now there are several wormwood farms in that State. There is secret. however, in it's cultivation which is carefully guard ed by the pioneers and the consequence is that a number of growers are unsuc- cessful in raising plant that will pro- duce the oil The plan of sowing the seed broadcast has been abandoned and now the successful growers plant in drills or rows. It is just before tie @plant has reached maturity that it is cut down and sent to the distillery, where the oil is taken from the green plant. The oil is extracted by means of heat, with the ex- act process of which I am not familiar.
 Find a Home Market.
 The Wisconsin .,rowers of wormwood and distillers of the oil at first shipped nearly all their output to Europe, but now they find good market for 1t in this country and at almost fabulous prices. Of course the drug houses of America furnish ready home market. The oil is employed in many ways, but it's chief uses are in the making of absinthe and liniments. The penetrating powers of the oil are something wonderful. When ap- piled to the surface 1t works its way right to the bone. and this makes 1t ex- ceedingly valuable in compromising strong liniments. The by-product of absinthe is already an awful curse A person under the influence of the drug experiences the most pleasant dreams and imaginings, but, like all excesses, 1t kills the gentle emotions, freezes kindness, rouses in man the spirit of the beast and accomp- fishes more vile deeds than are dreamed of. A large drink of absinthe will pro- duce insensibility, convulsions. dilated pupils, sluggish pulse and other serious

effects-the after-effect, often including trembling hands, arms and legs. Intense thirst, tingling in the ears. illusions of sight and hearing and other ho-rifying results. So strong hold has the use of absinthe gained in France that the Gov ernment has made repeated efforts to suppress its sale, an undertaking which, l fear. will never be accomplished. Its use in America is increasing every day.

 The pastor of a Presbyterian Church in San Jose, Cal, believes in sensational advertising after the most modern meth ods. Here is notice he published on a recent Monday: Found asleep-So you slept in church yesterday, did you? Well, it was rather a drowsy day, but if you had been at the Second Presbyterian Church you wouldn't have dozed. The pastor preached two earnest enthusIas- tic sermons and the music was alive and inspiring. Mrs. Hillman Smith sang thai old favorite. ''The Holy City" to the enjoyment of all. and the chorus choir rendered two anthems. The congresa ton was nearly as large as the church itself.

To become political leader" and to re-
tain the post successfully, requires eternal
vigilance. One politician, quoted by the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, says that in the

request. To do so Is to offend not only
the individual who makes it, but all mis-
relations.
One woman asked district leader to take
her baby into his family while the mother
went out of town for Q weeks visit. Again,
he was called up at two o'clock in the morn
ing by couple of men who had got into .
dispute, and wanted him to arbitrate. He
was expected to see that the poor had coal;
to bail out those who were arrested; to Sc
cure work for those who were out of employ
ment; to have police fines RENTED; to at
tend marriages, picnics and funerals.

COST OF BAD ROADS.
1t II without Any Doubt the Greatest
Money Loss Sustained BY
American Farmers.

The waste of power and CONNER
cial loss occasioned by bad roads was
forcefully put by Mr.. G. A. Denham in
an address delivered at the Kentucky
Commercial convention. He said: In
order to form some opinion Of the
cost Of bad roads to q community,
and to the individuals Of that COM
munity, let us assume some railroad
station as a starting point for a main
public highway which, for the pur-
pose Of illustration, we assume will
run through good agricultural COM
munity in some sections of our state.
Let us further assume that the top
ography Of the section Will give US
average grades, and the soil will aver
age in fertility with the remaining
part OF the state. The farmer on each
side of such highway for distance
of, say, two and one-half miles would
probably come to it to travel over
1t to the market, the railway station
at !ts terminus
Let us further assume that main
highway is ten miles long and that it
therefore forms the outlet to market
for section of country five miles
broad by ten miles long, embracing
fifty square miles of farming terri
tory; counting four farms to the
square mile, such territory would
embrace 200 farms of 160 acres each.
The average distance travelled by each
OF these farmers in going from home
to the railroad station and return
would certainly not fall under 121a
miles. An average of two round trips
per day would give Is miles as a days
journey, which is certainly more than
a loaded team can perform over a bad
road. Let US further suppose that the
farmers Of this territory will produce
a surplus for market, averaging each
farmer to have 100 bushels of wheat,
so barrels Of corn, five tons of hay,
and five tons Of miscellaneous prod
ucts. Counting that the average team
can draw over the average bad roads
q load Of 1000 pounds, we will ind
that this territory will produce for
market 1000 wagon loads of wheat,
]. $50 wagon loads of corn. 1000 wagon
loads Of hay. 1000 wagon loads of mis-
cellaneous products, making in all
4 $50 wagon loads. Then, if 1t Is pos
sible to make two round trips per day
rs an average for this territory, it will
require driver with span OF horses
and a wagon 2,475 days to move these
surplus products to the railroad sta
don. Counting the cost of the driver,
wagon and team at $3.50 per day, the
cost OF Transporting these products
will amount in the aggregate to
I6,18715.
1t is a well-known fact that a team
IAN draw twice as much freight over
! good road as the same team can
1raw over a bad road. II this be true
and this same road should be made
INTO good road with easy grades,
With smooth, hard surface. this same
work could be done for just one-half,
u for $3.093.75. Just think of it! A
oint stock community paying out |
more than $1,000 per year for the lux

HILLSIDE CULTIVATION.
A Idea from Switzerland That Might
BE Modified for Use In This
Country.

The cut. reproduced from a Swiss
horticultural paper. shows how cultiva-
uon is accomplished in Alpine vine
yards where the land is stacked up on its
edges. The anchoring machine is the
main feature illustrated. The horse goes
back and forth along the ridge and the
man at the cultivator has only to guide
MS implement without the bother Of
driving. OF course two men are needed
IN this one-horse affair. and the culti-
vator goes back empty every time. but
labor is relatively cheaper in the in
