invading Yankees have produced combination
that is attracting to Santa Fe and vicinity many
nvalids and persons in search of health to whom
the dry atmosphere is boon of priceless value
Some of these health seekers live in tents in the
country in the outskirts of the city, but the
leisure folk who have been attracted to Santa Fe
merely because of its ideal climate, dwell in
coy cottages which in striking contrast to the
houses of adobe-the 'forerunner of concrete"

a coy five six room cottage seldom requires
outside help, at most will find their needs in
this direction amply served by young Mexican

and who be secured for a wage of from IS

QUEER FISH HOOKS.

To go back far as the stone age, we have
only to turn to the inhabitants of Oceania, be-
cause these natives have never progressed any
farther in the art of capturing fish than did their
ancestors centuries ago. The Polynesian hooks
are generally barbed and some curious specimens
have been collected in New Zealand, says the
Hawaiian Star. One of these is made from sec
ton of a dogs jawbone single TOOTH which
has been filed to sharp point, being left for the
barb. In this same country hook that has been
pointed with human bone is regarded possess
in exceptionally fine qualities for attracting the
fish.
The best workmanship is exhibited in the hooks
which used without bait and which correspond
to our spoons. Pearl other iridescent she'll
furnishes the part which attracts the fish and fire.
quently the shank consists of the ribbed part of
she'll near the hinge of the valve thereby giving
the hook spinning motion as it is drawn through
the water. Many elaborate designs have a
wooden shank, neatly carved and inlaid with a
silver of haliotis SHE'LL while the barb is of sharp
ened bone. The extreme delicacy required in ac-
curately piecing together one of these composite
hooks may be imagined.

da's progress, says:
AT the present moment eight ship
loads of European immigrants are
afoat for Canada, while there are
signs that the outward movement
which is customary with us during
labor troubles will be marked this
year. There Is no such startling rec
ord Of our loss to Canada. Our citi-
zens quietly slip over the border in
groups or trainloads, but their going
is not advertised.
There is no mystery why Canada
Is the good thing the United States
used to be. It is because Canada Is
following in its neighbours footsteps
that it is repeating the fortunate ex-
perience which its neighbor is envy
ing, even while deliberately turning
its back on the teachings of the past.
A fortnight ago the Dominion budget
speech reported the unprecedented
surplus Of $500 900, and on Thurs
day the Government passed through
the Committee on Supply credits OF
$38, 000, 900 for railways and canals.
With this assistance the railways
themselves are both enabled and COM
PEELED to increase their facilities. Ac-
%cordingly we find a single road allot-
ting ten millions for work Of its own.
Naturally the Canadian newspapers
contain announcements calling for
fifty thousand men for construction
work. This influx is apart from those
Americans who go with money in their
pockets obtained by cashing in their
high-priced American lands.
