You may have great trials and porploxitios in your business, but do not, therefore, carry to your home a cloudy or contracted brow. Your wife may have trials, which, though of loss magnitude, may be hard for her to bear. A kind word, a tender look will do wondors in chasing from her brow all clouds of gloom The above is vory good but we do not add the advice to furnish her with a bottle of ' Remedy " per haps she wont need it, if the treat ment above suggested is assiduously pursued.

Holoert stnuiM visit to the Pacific slope and the treat Southwest, the latter for the benefit of his health and my trip was devoted en tirely to sight-seeing and pleasure. I passed through nineteen states and terrl torles and covered a distance of more than ten thousand miles. A remarkable fea ture of my travels was the good connec tions made and at no time was I delayed over one-half hour. Though I passed through different climates and with chan ges of water I was not Indlstiosed one day, After a short stay at Kansas City, Mo., wo took the Atlantio & Pacific road and rcxle through Kansas, Colorado, New Men loo and up through the Rocky Mountains, Which arc 7,i0 feet In. height, until we reached Las ft gas Hot Springs, N. M., one of the most picturesque and restful re sorts for pleasure seekers In the Rocky Mountains. Wo found tho Montezuma hotel at that point one of the most perfect ly appointed caravansaries In the south west, and accommodates 250 guests. The temperature there at mid-day averages from January to May 60 degrees Fahren helt. In summer the averago for those hours is 75 degrees. The climate Is nearly uniform the year around, At Los Vegas I spent one week and was well pleased with the city which has a pop ulation of 6,1X10. It Is a strange place and Is mostly inhabited by Mexicans who are small of stature. Burros are chiefly used for draying purposes. Four or six are hitched together side by side, and attached to a small WRgon they make a very attrac tive appearance as they trot through the streets. They aro also used for carrying wok1, packed merchandise, and for climb ing mountains. They aro very cheap and can bo purchased for $3.50 to $5.00 each. The city also boasts of an electric street crtr lino. Have Immense mining Indust ries and vast plains for raising sheep and other cattle. I saw loads of wool sold there for six and eight cents a pound. A per son woo nas always lived In a valley can hardly Imagine the beauty of the sunshine as seen and felt on great mountalu heights The first rays In tho morning at 6 o'clock seems as warm as those In the east at high noon. Iu barns were seen at this place. After leaving Las Vegas wo next stop at Albuquerque, tho leading railroad and commercial center of the Santa Fe route between Topeka and Los Angeles. Mln lug, sheopraising and farming ore the pro minent pursuits In this place and eastern ptmple, after looking at the vegetables and fruits, aro convinced that everything Is true about the wonders that are performed by Irrigation. A great many of the homes arc one-story high, flat and aro built of ado bo which consists of a sand mixed with straw, mado Into square blocks and baked In the sun. A nother cheap building ma terial Is gathered from the bauk of the Rio Mrande rivor where the wash of the waves leaves a deposit of sienna, which is dug out with spades, made Into square chunks and dried by the sun until they become as hard as brick. Some of these buildings last for a century. Gen. Grant's headquarters were on tho banks of the Rio Grande river when he was traveling in that part of the country. The air was so clear and the sun so bright In Albuquerque that we could see the mountains, sixty miles distant, near the city of Santa Fe. There are a great many Indians tn this section of the country who raise grapes, fish and hunt for a living. They are given a grand op portunity for an education by tho govern ment. In one school that we visited there were 830 Indian boys and girls who were taught all kinds of work and to read and write. They also take care of the building grounds etc., and make thelrown clothing, Early morning frosts could be seen on the house tops and on the sidewalks and in a few hours a person could go out and pick geraniums and the most tender plants which do not freeze on account of the dry ness of the atmosphere. On November 9, . we loft Albuquerque and were soon viewing with Interest In dian villages, mountains and hundreds of miles of bare prairies. Upon one of the mountains could be seen a fortification which was occupied by soldiers in the ear ly days of the country. After riding along one hundred miles further we stop for wa ter. Here Indian squaws, with papooses strapped on their backs, offer clay orna ments for sale. Their huts are mostly made out of atone and adobe . Looking for ward we saw what appeared to be a brown stone city, but as we approached we dis covered that they are rocks that have been forced up through the earth by volcanic eruption. They are hundreds of feet high, are square and seem to be on the level prai rie and are nearly fifty miles in length. We stayed but one day at Ashfork, Arl. our next resting place, which Is the termi nus of the Santa Fe railroad. It was 1 very barren and desolate country and the only water that was used in the village was carried in tanks a distance of forty miles. Here we took the Prescott & Phoe nix railroad for Phoenix Arl. For 1U8 niiloi the descent over the Rocky Moun tains was very steep and we took a drop from an altitude of 4,01)0 feet to the city of Phoenix. On this trip we stopped at small place called Skull Valley, where we hud dinner, the water used in Its prepara tion being token from the boiler of the lo comotive. On the route cactus and mis quitl brush seem to be the only vegetation. We soon arrived at the salt river valley, a fertile piece of ground that can cot be worktd by irrigation. Alalfa, or lucerne, U the only herbage cultivated. This is gnus almost unknown to the eastern for mer. It is thrifty In growth, Is cut five and six times per annum and yields two tons per acre at each cutting. As a sub stitute for hay it is a most excellent food for horses and cuttle. Koch acre when grazed will kia-p two head of horses or cot- tie the year through. It sells ut from H.60 to $5 per ton. Here in a climate healthful and invigorating, are thousands of acres of virgin soil that can be taken up under the homestead laws an empire awaiting development, fortunes for gfxtd business men In almost any line they choose to fol low, good wages to all Industrious persons willing to work. PIkk'IiIx Is situated In a valley 25 miles wide and SO miles In length with hugo mountains on either side. An eloetrlc railroad runs through Its principal streets for three and one-half mill's and Is so straight and level that a person can see from one end to the other with the naked From November $th until the mid dle of Deccmlior we enjoyed eating fresh strawberries, im-lonH. green corn, toumtiics blackberries and rasplicrrlcs. Much of the water Is brai-kl.sh, therefore the cattle do not require salt. Afterreslillug In this lo cality a few years peopld'do not use any of this condiment on tho table. They claim that the at Unisphere Is so dry that there Is no strength to It. Among the popular trees are the umbrella, blue gum and pepHT. Tho latter Is an evergreen treo and Its foliage has a very strong, spicy odor. The palm and fig also grow very extensively. Oleanders, geraniums and chrysanthemums bloom the year round Fine largo navel oranges ripened In Nov- emlKT and could bo purchased for ten cents a dozen. When we find this rare fruit In tho east wo have to pay 40 and 80 cents a dozen for It. Another Indian school Is situated hero. A man owns a farm near tho city on which ho keeps 80 beautiful ostriches. These birds live the year round on alalfa, tho same as cattle. When full grown they weigh from 800 to 400 pounds each. The bird will lay a setting of 88 to 80 eggs a year. They measure from 18 to 18 Inches In diameter. The Four Peek mountains, 80 miles distant, and Cam el mountains to tho north can be seen dls tinctly. They have snow on their tops at oertaln poriixls of tho year. Mr. Holbort, who apparently was In better health than at any time previous to departing from Blnghamton, was suddenly taken 111 and died at Phoenix, on account of which was published In the lndcicndcnt at the time. Leaving Phcnnix nlxmt the middle, of Deoombor we crossed tho Colorado river at the Noodles In California and from thonoe passed over tho Mohava desert, traveling by roll. Passing the desert the road takes a drop down tho mountain of 8,800 foot In about 78 miles. Running through a can yon out on tho flat land Into the valley we reached Los Angeles, tho homo of the orango. This city Is tho great Now York of the Southwest and It Is estimated that 1,800 buildings aro erected each year. It Is 19 miles from the ports of Los Angeles and San Monica, where tho first sight of the Pacific ocean can tho obtained. Westlake Park Is a beautiful resort and Is tormod the "Paradise of Karth." It was hore that we had the pleasure of meeting a cousin, Mrs. Cynthia Donenr, daughter of Mrs. JonoJTnrner, formerly of Poupack, Pike oounty. From this point wo journeyed southward to San Aua noar New Port, a very fertile farming and fruit growing valley, where nothing but perpetual sum mor lo known. Here wo were tho guest of anothoroousin, Clias. Barton, of Michigan. Ono day wo fished off tho wharf Into tho Pacific ocean and had the good luck to capture, In about four hours, 16 yellow tails and Spanish inockorol, weighing from 13 to 80 pounds each. The lino used was as thick asan ordinary lead iencll, a hook of steel three Inches In length, and live Sardines were used for luiit.
