Martha's Tan.
A little girl 6 years old, who has Just
beon down to Kennebunkport on a visit,
rottimod nicely browned by the sun and
wind. This little girl 1ms a firm friend to
whom she is greatly devoted in a coal
block woman named Martha, long a faith-
ful servitor in tho family of a neighbor.
She wont to see Martha after her return
and called Martha’s attention proudly to
her tan.
"Yes, I soe, honey,” said Martha
“You’re glttln pretty black. If you keep
on, pretty soon you gwlne ter git os block
as me."
The little girl looked at her with wide
open oyos.
"Marfa," said she, "you must have
tanned awful fast when you was a little
dlrl."—Boston Transcript.

Health Restoring Qualities
of our Dry Atmosphere.
WHAT DOCTORS SAY.
High Medical Authority oh tho Hultfeot,
Giving Veote hM Figaros that Vvovo El
Paso’* Climatic j Agvantogcc Superior to
Thoea of Other Health Beeovu in the
United State*.
The reputation of El Paso as a
health resort Is already firmly estab-
lished. Thousands of Invalids have
found here the relief which they have
sought vainly elsewhere. Especially
lg this true In all cases of pulmonary
disease, and there are today living In
El Paso hundreds of people, In good
health, engaged in business and en-
joying life, who declare that had
they not come to this genial clime
they would either have died long ago
or continued to drag out a miserable
existence. There Is not a winter but
numerous Invalids wbo have sought
other health resorts come on to El
Paso by advice of the physicians at
those resorts. They come from Col-
orado and Northern New Mexico be-
cause It Is too cool there and they
come from Southern California be-
cause it Is too damp there. Here they
find a dry, warm, sunny climate, with
almost every condition required to In-
sure kealthfulness.
Some years ago Dr. Alfred S.
Houghton of Chicago wrote that after
a thorough examination and careful
study of the subject, he found El
Faso and San Diego, Cal., the two
places most favorable to all persons
all 11 c ted with pulmonary diseases.
Following Is a portion of a table of
statistics of “annual climatic changes”
which Dr. Houghton prepared, and
upon which he baaed his conclusions;
In bis report Dr. Houghton uses the
Its latitude 42 degrees north, the lon-
gitude being the game aa that of Santa
Fe, N. M., and the latitude the same
aa that of Savannah, Ga., and Ban
Diego, CaL It la 340 miles south of
Santa Fe, constituting the southern
terminus of the Atchison, iup. ...

with much actual bualneaa and boand>
less expectations.
Tbe inountaln ranges of New Mexico
and old Hexlco abutting on the river at
this point give variety and beauty to
the landscape and contribute that ex-
hilarating quality of “mountain air"
which, combined with the mild tem-
perature of the winter season, consti-
tutes the charm of the El Paso climate.
The altitude Is 3760 feet above the
sea level—high enough to be pure and
bracing, and yet not high enough to
embarrass the hearts action and In-
crease the dyspnoea of those affected
with pulmonary complaints. I found
It true with regard to myself while
suffering from a severe attack of bron-
chitis, and also with regard to others
whom I met that whereas at Las Vegas
and Banta Fe (at an altitude respec-
tively of 6700 and 7100 feet) we suf-
fered from dyspnoea and had to walk
slowly, like confirmed Invalids, the de-
scent to El Paso enabled us to walk
briskly and soon made us feel equal
to running a foot race.
The soil Is sandy and very porous.
The temperature Is hot In summer
and mild In winter. For those who
have the means of traveling It would
lie folly to summer In El Paso, and yet
the dryness of the atmosphere Is such
that a temperature of 100 to 105 de-
grees In the shade la more endurable
than that of 70 and 85 degrees In Phil-
adelphia. Sunstroke Is unknown, In
spite of a maximum temperature of
110 degrees in summer, and those
who are compelled to remain there ^o
uot perish with the heat, nor suffer
much, if any, more than the lnkabl-

following language:
“The number of Inches of rain and
snow will-give corroborative testi-
mony as to the dryneBS, etc. In a
place where the air la dry and the
sunshine clear aud steady, wide range
of dally temperature or sudden-
changes of heat are not only not un-
pleasant nor Injurious, but often
agreeable and beneficial from the
stimulation they create, while moder-
ate variation of equability In a damp,
muggy climate Is debilitating in tbe
extreme.
"The dew point in El Paso is 11 de-
grees below the mean of minimum
temperature, aud 27 degrees below tbe
mean of annual temperature, while at
Ban Diego It 1b only 3 degrees below
the mean of minimum temperature,
aud 10 degrees below the mean of
annual temperature.
At El Paso the mean of relative
and absolute humidity Is also much
less than at San Diego, while Jack-
sonville is behind not only both of
these places, but also Denver.
“The average rainfall 1b 36 Inches.
At El Paso It Is 11 Inches. The aver-
age between dew point and mean of
minimum temperature Is 5% degrees.
At El Paso It Is 11 degrees The aver-
age mean annual temperature Is 56
degrees. At El Paso It Is 64 degrees,
but the seasonal average at El Paso
Is 56 degrees.
“In every particular, except spring
winds, El Paso showB a better record
thau San Diego, and far better than
Jacksonville or Savannah. The only
place on the Atlantic coast that ap-
proaches El Paso Is Asheville, N. G.,
and for that place 1 have no seasonal
figures.”
Dc. Houghton further states that
the altitude of El Paso Is 3766 feet,
while that of San Diego Is 67 feet
only, El Paso being neither too high
oor too low.
EL PASO’S PORE AIR.
To tbe American Climatological asso-
ciation Dr. E. W. Schauffler, of Kansas
City, made the following report:
El Paso Is situated at the extreme
western boundary of Texas, In that
tongue ot land which Is bounded on
the north and west by New Mexico
and on the south by the Ulo Graude.
Its longitude is 106 degrees west, and
tents of Eastern cities.
But 11 is the winter temperature to
which 1 wish to call attention, as well
as the small amount ot rainfall and
the small number of cloudy days, these
conditions combining to constitute the
charm of the winter, during which
season the Invalid can walk, or even
sit out of doors, almost every day.
Gomblued with the mild temperature
there Is, as I have before remarked,
a bractug tonic quality to the air, due,
perhaps. In part, to Its rar. "d dry-
uess, which 1 have failed to _ ‘d
i tbe air of Florida, of the Gulf, or even
'of Ban Antonio, Texas.
In view of Its mild winter climate.
Its altitude, the great dryness of the
atmosphere and soil, and the remark-
able preponderance of clear and fair
days, especially during the winter and
spring months, I think it must be con-
ceded that El Paso p/t-sents many of
the requisites of a ( ,er resort for
persons suffering 1 a pulmonary
complainta Nor is > merely a theo-
retical conclusion. . is confirmed by
the experience of a considerable num-
ber of asthmatic, bronchitic, and phth-
isical patients who have already tested
.the virtues of this climate. Some of
| these 1 met myself during a stay
some weeks last February and March,
and with regard to others I was in-
formed by the physicians of that place
and the army officers of Fort Bliss,
jtt'tals testimony was the same that Is
usually obtained at such places—'vix:
that the patient soon begins to loose
his cough, to Improve in appetite, and
to gain In weight and strength.
Notwithstanding the newness of the
place, the accommodations of El Paso
are very fair. There are several quite
large e nd respectable hotels, there Is a
good market, and the price of living Is
not high. Although in Texas, it Is a
very wide awake Yankee town, with
an elegant court house, public school
building, numerous churches, etc. One
great charm to the visitor or sojourner
is the proximity of Old Mexico. Just
across the Rio Grande, where within
an easy walk or drive, he finds the
city of Paso Vlel Norte, surrounded by
a well Irrigated and cultivated coun-
try, teeming with a kindly and indus-
trious population. For myaelf, I
never wearied of watching their
strange seventeenth century methods
of living and working.
