RELIEF FOR sosToN,s LAP DOGS.

Boston ladies have decided that 1t
relief OF their lap dogs. 1t is well
known to people who have had oppor-
tunities to study the lap dog that he
has a disagreeable tendency to grow
stout, This doubtless is due to the
fact that he is prevented by circum-
troll from getting "a proper amount of
exercise. Ii the lap dog could get out
occasionally and chase hen up an
alley or gat kicked through fence
by an accommodating mule 1t is prob
able that he would be able to keep
himself down to reasonable proper
tions.
But he is victim of fashion. In
stead of running along behind the car
riase and yeiping he rides in luxur-
ious ease, Hence he soon begins To
get pussy and TO wheeze when he has
to move from one pillow to another.
Wheeling lap dog is depressing.
One always feels tightening of the
air tubes when a waddlng lap dog
gets to wheeling around and giving
unmistakable signs of his belief that
life is a burden.
1t is encouraging, therefore, to learn
that fashionable women of Boston
have decided that the lap dog must be
relieved of his present trouble. To
this end they have formed a club in
the exclusive Back Bay district and
there training quarters for the pet lap
dogs are to be established. Under the
care of an expert trainer the lap dogs
will be put through daily exercises
calculated to keep them from growing
stout and to develop their wind. SO
that they may be able to skip about
playfully and wheeze no more.

water could be saved and stored TO ir-
rigate 100000 and more acres. This
question, however, is held back for fu-
ture consideration The water supply
in the upper San Juan river is fully
up to the standard at this time OF the
year and more water passes now at
Blanco than at Embuda in the Rio
Grande valley, fifty miles north of
here. There will be no scarcity of
Juan county during this year, accord
ing to present appearances. In the
mountains of southern Colorado,
where the San Juan river and its
tributaries have their source, much
snow has fallen OF late. and it is be
lieved, therefore, that the water in
these rivers will not fail this summer
for all necessary irrigation purposes,
and will fully supply all the lands now
under bitches in San Juan county.
The ranges in eastern San Juan, in
Rio Arriba and in northern Santa Fe
counties, over which Mr.. Turley pass
ed, are fairly dry, but he thinks should
rains commence within the next two
weeks. the new grass will spring up
rapidly and stock will not suffer many
losses.
While in Denver, Mr. Turley dis
cussed several projeNs with capital
lists Tor the development OF northwest
ern New Mexico and of this city, and
while not stating anything positively
Mr. Turley now has more confidence
in the future OF Santa Fe Than he has
had since he has been !p the territory.
He believes that the projects under
consideration will be of material ad-
vantage to this city and will enhance
Its growth and increase its population

NEW IRRIGATION Rs-eRvoiR,


Special Correspondence II The Herald.
MANCOS, May ll-F4r many years
1t has been known by oar citizens that
the only way to make Montezuma,
truly an agricultural county was TO
build reservoirs and store water for
the time of greatest need; but II re-
mained for c. f. Rentz an enterprising
Texan. to take hold of the enterprise
in dead earnest, locate and file upon
what is thought TO be one OF the best
reservoir sites in this section of the
country
II is located about ten miles north
west from the town of Mancos on the
Dolores and Mancos public road, about
three miles from the nearest point of
the Rio Grande railroad, and upon
summit that overlooks several thou
sand acres OF unappTopriated public
domain. which is as fine land as can
be found in Colorado The survey
shows that this resery Dir can be filed
from Lost canon which affords an
abundant supply of water for that pur-
pose.
The reservoir bed covers three hun
dred and sixty-live acres of land, and
will supply iI9O acres of farming land
with one foot of water. The main
dam will be only about 100 feet long
and 80 feet high, and so started that
experts say that four tosms can build
In 80 days a srflicie ut dem te store wa
ter to irIlgs te 2000 acres OF land.
Mr.. Rentz expects to have his res
ervoir com, leted, filled and ready for
use next season. Just below the res
ervoir lies large body of pinon land
which is subject to homestead. Here
person can get all the timber nee
essary for fencing and fuel. and with
in four miles of this body of land an
abundance of coal can be had for the
hauling. This land will grow wheat,
oats. alfalfa, potatoes, and most all
kinds of fruit in abundance, and is in
the midst of miles of open stock
range
What an opportunity for the enter
prising farmer who is ready and will
ing to exercise his muscle and inge-
nuity for a few years in building a
beautiful home where he can enjoy
In peace and quietude all the pleasures
of a rustic life. What an accession
to MonteZuma county, when three or
four thousand acres OF this land is con
verted from an idle, barren waste to
fields OF growing grain and orchards
of luscious fruits Lands that only
cost the homesteader sl.25 per acre
now. will then be worth to him 500
per acre. Lands that bring in no rev.
enue now will then be the best source
of revenue the county has ever known.
So let the good work go on. May
many others take courage and build
other reservoirs until our county is
known far and wide as the king fruit
and grain county in the state.

Extinct Animals,

No extinct land animal of former ages
has bigger body than has the biggest
African elephant of to-day, and not
enc, so far as is known, exceeded or
even equaled, in total bulk the exist
ing great whales, which sometimes are
all of 100 feet long. As elephants,
horses and similar animals are traced
backward through the various strata
they are found to get smaller and
smaller. Some extinct elephants were
no bigger than Shetland ponies, while
the horses of prehistoric times were
about the size of large dogs. In al
most every group of hairy warm.
blooded animals existing specimens
are bigger than those of bygone times,

LEFT EAR is TRAINED.
One Of the Results of Common Uso
of Telephones.


"Did you know this telephone busi-
ness has resulted in telephone ear?"
said clerk whose work called him
constantly to the phone. Il don't
mean that our hearing is injured, but
that the left ear becomes more keen
than the right.
"If you'll notice, all the phones are
left-handed. That is, the instruments
are so placed that we hold the receiv.
er with the left hand. so that we may
have the right hand free to use in
taking notes or messages, presume.
OF course, one naturally claps the re-
ceiver to his left ear, as 1t would be
almost impossible to twist 1t around to
his right ear. Consequently the left
ear gradually becomes much sharper
in catching sounds than the right ear.
''If you don't believe it, just try hold.
ing the receiver in your right hand
some time and use your right ear.
You'll find that conversation which
was perfectly distinct to the left ear
sounds confused and mufIled to the
right. and there is a distinct effort to
understand. 1t is simply that the left
ear is trained telephone ear. whilo

THE BATH IN LAW.
Question Now Before a California
Court fer Decision.
What constitutes a bath?

Court fcr DECISION.
What constitutes a bath?
This is a peculiar question with
which California court is now wrest-
ling. An anxious world impatiently
awaits the decision.
A California householder is being
sued for the price of a heater that was
guaranteed to heat sufficient water for
bath, and the defendant has proved
that it supplied only 35 gallons of hot
water. which Le alleged to be INSULT
cient for a bath.
The plaintiff insisted that 35 gallons
is ample, declaring that "a man could
get wet first on one side and then on
the other" and that sit is not neces-
sary that he should take plunge in
a swimming pool" .
On this question the issue is Joined.
The court has the matter under ad-
visement.
The decision will of course, be of
great Importance. no matter on which
side it is rendered. The legal quantity
of water necessary TO a legal bath
ought to be clearly defined, for the
protection of the public against people
WIZ eNluehtIS itt5di u pIlt VI SO SUM
cient.
Bible students will recall the fact
that among the ancient Hebrews the
bath" was a regular liquid measure.
and scholars have agreed on eight and
one-half gallons as its modern equiva-
lent. 1t would seem, therefore. that
If eight and one-half gallons was the
regulation amount for bodily ablutlons
in the days of Solomon. then 80 gal
Ions ought to be ample at the present
time. :.
This important fact is cited. not
from any desire to unduly influence
the court, but merely to substantiate
the point that the bath ought to be
legally defined now as it was in the
time of Solomon.
And when the requirements have
been fixed, even Chicago professors
ought to be made to conform to them.
