Women are not strong enough to carry
beavy scuttles of coal up stairs nor to

do half the heavy work that many of
them are doing. There is no necessity
for doing it, either.
For instance, on washday there is no
need to stand all day long over steam
ing tubful of wet clothes, rubbing out
the dirt on a dashboard, or lifting
heavy boiler to and from the stove. In
stead, put the clothes to soak in cool
water with Fels-N aptha Soap. After they
have soaked while, rub them lightly.
The dirt will roll out.
Fels-Naptha Soap takes out stains
of all kinds. 1t dissOlves grease, and
brightens up everything. Works best in
cool or lukewarm water.

News comes from St. Paul that
the governors staff is being drilled
for the first time in it's history-and
is making forced marches of half a
mile day SO that it may be prepared
to go into Mexico in case of an emer-
gency call to arms. We fancy we see
that bunch of ornamental buffers;
with broadswords dragging on the
cactus and gold cord entangled in
the sage brush, crossing the Mexican
plains. To imagine this for a mere
moment is sufficient to provoke a
laugh which will make the very raft

Wondrous Beauty Of Santa Lucia Park,
IN SANTIAGO. @ S EE5t

Wondrous Beauty Of Santa Lucia Park,
III Santiago.
Santiago. with its 100000 Of popula-
ton, fifty miles inland from Valpa-
raise, is the capital of Chile. 1t lies
in great amphitheater forty miles
long and eighteen miles wide and Is
inclosed by walls of lofty mountains
covered white with snow. Outside Of
Rio de Janeiro, no capital in the world
has finer situation. Standing in the
central plain. it looks out on one side
over fertile fields. sloping toward the
coast range and on the other it looks
up to the gigantic Cordillera 10000 feet
above it, furrowed with deep glens and
covered with snowy wastes.
There aresbeautiful drives and parks
and pleasure resorts on every hand.
The Alameda Avenida Delicias. 600
feet in width, runs the entire length Of
the city. The finest private houses
are built in Spanish style with court
yards full of flowers and shrubs. The
city has sixty-seven miles Of electric
car lines. Most of the streets are paw
ed with asphalt. The policemen carry
swords. The city has an air Of law
and order. A beautiful park was given
to the city by Sonora Isadora Cousina.
1t. is called the Quinta Normal.
But the park of parks in Santiago IS
Santa Lucia. For striking and pictur-
esque beauty it is scarcely equaled
anywhere else in the world. It is a
steep and rocky hill rising 500 feet
right from the center Of the city. The
original scanty soil has been added to
by skillful gardeners until it has be-
come an exquisite park. lifting its YER
durous masses like a hanging garden
high above the city. Flowers and
creeping vines trail over rocks in wild
profusion. Fountains glimmer in the
sunshine. marbles CLEAN against the
green. Grottoes invite you to their
shade and winding paths allure the
traveller to the very summit
Here. at the top of this green rock, a
splendid vista of the city lies at your
very feet. You hear the hum of traffic
and the buzZing wheels of commerce
and out beyond you see fertile plain.

Three Atmospheres.

The atmosphere is divided by scien-
lists into three parts. The first extends.
from sea level to about 10000 feet
high. In this layer are almost all the
water vapors or clouds and all the
dust. In it all the storms take place.
The temperature tends to decrease, but
very irregularly. The second layer ex-
tends to between six and seven miles
high In it are the Cirrus clouds, and
the temperature decreases uniformly.
Man cannot go beyond it.
These two layers together are called
the troposphere, because in them all
the vertical movements of the air take
place. Beyond them is the strato-
sphere. in which occur any movement
of the air in planes parallel to the
earth's surface.

between it's life in the old world and
it's advent to America is the famous
naval battle between the Guerrero
