Canyon da Chelly is one of the most notable scenic features in Arizona, bat it is so far off the main line of trav el that it Is rare ly visited, it is cut deeply luto soft sandstones, which rise in ver tical walls, with many outly ing au J uiouuuieiits. Some oi u tures appear also In the great vail o le sandstone on the north side of the * in® - press Ion through which the Santa Fs ra* roa crosses the continental dlvivie vast of Gallup. One of the most remarkable pinnacles of this wall Is fancifully termed the Navajo Church. Few persons who travel across the south west realize that in Arisona and New Mexico there are enormous forests of valuable timber and that the lumbering Is an important indus try. In both territories there are several large forest n servations. and one of these in Ari zona. the Coconino forest, with nearly 6.000 square miles. U the largest single reserve In the I'nited States. The.' total forest area re served In Arizona Is lj.!ro,130 acres, or more than 24.000 square miles, and In New Mexico there are 10.971.711 acres, or more than 17,000 square miles. Southern California also has several large reserves. The Coconino forest in Arizona occupies part of the great plateau iu which the Grand Can>on Is cut. and extends to the brink of the canyon. The visiter to tbe southwest usually takes keen interest in the Indians, who arc numer ous not only along the main lines of travel, but In many remote villages. Some tribes, notably the Apaches, who continued to be troublesome until a relatively recent date, bare become famous for tbe misdeeds that ma il rially retarded the development of Arizona and western New Mexico. Now. however, all is peace and tranquillity. The newspapers, es peclally eastern ones, occasionally print ac counts of uprisings, but thus? prove to be local quarrels with a few individuals. The Indians of the southwest are of two kinds, differing greatly In most of their char acteristics. One Is the nomad type, represent ed by the Attaches. Navajos. the Yumas. Pa uagoes and Plmas. and smaller tribes; the other Is the pueblo type, which is comprised of 26 pueblos, or villages, scattered through central and western New Mexico, and in the Hopi reserve, in northwestern Arizona. Probably there is greater popular interest In the pu< blo people, for their settlements are Because of its j dry air and mild climate the southwest has be come famous as a health report, especially for those having tuberculosis of the respiratory or gans. The percentage of cures made in New Mexico. Arizona and California, great as it is would be much greater if a larger proportion of | those who are seeking health came in time. It is uecessary to come before the vitality is too greatly diminished and then to live under favorable conditions, the most essential of w hich is to fee out cf doors as much as pos sible. Many health-seekers spend most of their money in railroad fare to reach the desired resorts. Physicians do a great wrong to pa tients in sending them so tar from home, friends anti care without means to provide suitable quarters, nourishment and attention to sustain them while making their light again it death. ddie cilmate of the southwest presents con siderable variety, but in all the lower lands the winters are delightfully mild, and every where blue sky is in evidence for more than 100 days in the year. The summers are warm: In the southern desert area they- are decidedly het for several months, but the dry air even then Is much more endurable than the sultry sutjsnier weather of the eastern and central states. Sunstroke is unknown, and laborers continue their work without distress. The valley of southern California is pro tected from the cold northern winds of winter by high mountain ranges, while to the south it is open to the Pacific. Owing to the pecu liar configuration of the coast the cold Cali fornia current from the north is deflected west near Point Conception, and hence the south ern California shores have waters warmer by about ten degrees than those to the north. This beneficent climate is respotis*ble for the riant industry of fruit growing which has made California fatuous over the globe. Cali fornia furnishes the major pari of the very large amount or oranges and other citrus fruits consumed in the Catted States, and this business has been the potent cause in the development of southern California. The orange and other citrus fruits of southern California hare aa output of about 30.00*) carloads a year, with a »e! value of more than S15.00O.O00. East of the mountains in southern Califor nia la an extensive desert country, much of it without water, but large areas can be reached by ditches from the Colorado river The most notable district of the son of in the Salton desert, near the Mexican boundary, a few years ago this was a lonely and forbid '■•'*? reitien. but now, h? aid of irrigation fro-n the Colorado river, it has s.venl thriving settlements, with 100.000 people and 20.<H*0 acres of cultivate.) hind That portion of it known as Imperial valley has the greatest development, and with rich soil aud semi-trop ical climate phenomenal results have becu ob tained when water is applied. One of the best known products of this region is the canteloupe. of which the annual shipments are over 1.S00 cars, bringing nearly a million dollars This valley contains over 400.000 acres of land, and just across the Mex ican line are 200.000 more. The great oil fields of California are in the southern part of the state, and with rapidly in creasing production they promts.? to be tbe largest producers in the eountr-.-. *■! *r 3'; Cm Fee* tte Past.

A Vorkuta, while d'sging at a tepik of tea feet, drove hi* pick into I **mie soft *t - nework. and after the •wt roiiapee Of earth the prs sage was revested It was found that i Jbe plrk had beea drives ibrough the ) ted c- <Iia* of a rtiat bailt passage ; SO'-- eight feet six inches high and hout six feet wide. Exploring par ;les have Investigated the Interior by *»d of candle light. The walls we.e found to be damp and clammy, and the floor was covered with a thick carpet cf spongy substance. Into *hich the feet sank slightly. For a distance of nearly 50 yards the pas sage ia clear, and at either end of this stretch it is blocked. In one case by a fall of earth and In the other rase, presumably, by the character of the structure itself. Two smaller pas sages turn oft the first r*ssage, and in one of the side turnings there were ; found half a dozen human skulls and a quantity cf benes. Among the lat ter Is a number of jaw bones of horses < T;r other large animals. All the bones and skulls are charred. The Abbey cf Barking Is reported to have been built in A. D. O by Erkenwald. who afterwards became Btsbop of London, and whose slater i Ethelberga became first abbess at Barking. It was the firs; nunnery m | tablished In this country. In A. D. $70 the Danes destroyed It by fire, and it lay desolate for a century until re stored by King Edgar. Many mem bers of royal families were among Its abbesses. From the fact that tba main passage runs in the direction of Barking creek, a short distance away, it is believed to have afforded a chan acl of communication tram the abbey to the waterway and thence to tba Thames.—London Standard GIVEN UP TO TRADE Only the Old Guard Holds Forth on Fifth Avenue, N. Y. Fashionable Thoroughfare Has Been Almost Completely Sold Out to In vading Mercenaries—Only Few Prominent Families Remain. New York.—Imperious old Fifth avenue has gene—not Into clay, but into trade. At Fifty-second street the Vanderbilts, the Sloanes and the Shep ards. buttressed behind their massive mansions, have been making the last stand of the old guard against the in vasion of mercenaries. But now. un like the old guard, they have surren ,dered. and within a wear Mrs. Cor nelius Vanderbilt will hare for third door neighbor a French modiste with fine, big electric signs to enliven the famous mansion at Fifty-seventh street, where for years and years the destinies of social America have been swayed. It is well within the memory oi most New Yorkers when E^th avenue from Fiftieth to Fifty-ninth street was 1 so exclusive that only the Knlcker bockers c-ouid live there.' whatever their wealth. Then policemen frowned creaseless trousers of! the street Now folks of all classes mingle freely, and there is only one block in all the ten ; where trade has not intruded. In this block within six months an apartment house with a promised height of some hundreds of feet will crown the neigh borhood. • The whole story of it all Is that the “old Fifth avenue” has sold out. It has received more monex consideration from trade for moving up town into the new Fifth avenue than the senti mental satisfaction of preserving Its ancestral homes was worth. It has emigrated northward—or to Europe, therefore, leaving only the three Van derbilts. the Sloanes, the Shepards, the Huntingtons and William Rocke The Vanderbilt Home. feller as r* prescntatlves to battle at the last ditch or make the surrender complete. Take that stroll down Fifth avenue from Fifty-ninth street, for the fun of It. Then It was one fine long row of mansions—granite and marble and brownstone—every one a palace and every one Inhabited by an aristocracy as great as America can ever furnish. But now. walking down the street from the park entrance, you meet few er mansions than shops even for the first three blocks. A count shows five brokers, three real estate offices, two corset concerns and a French modiste between the Plaza and the residence of Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt to the south. And in Fifty-seventh street not far from the Vanderbilt mansion and just west of the Harry Payne Whitney residence, the famous old Oli ver Harrlir.an mansion is to be made over into a store for a dressmaker. The fact that this new neighbor is said to have been a Virginia beauty before she entered the trade, however, may ap peal to the sor'd taste of the Whit neys and Vanderbilts. Just below, the famous old Andrew Zabriskie house has gone Into the hands of Schumann's sons, who are making it over into fine business quar ters. with apartments above. And right there, also, is the Collis P. Hunt ington mansion, with a n-’w gilded art shop across the way. This little jaunt down Fifth avenue shows, in addition, an aroaring display of glittering signs, with stately back grounds of brownstone and marble, ad vertising trade where New York's real society used to hold levee. Signs are everywhere. One of them even adver tises coal trom the basement of an old mansion that wreckers are destroying overhead.

Yon must have known what kind It was!" keeping Cheese hard task It Should Be Kept Under a Glass o China Top All the Year Around. Welsh rsrehits. cheese souffles and other cheese dishes are convenient f r summer, U cheese can be kept in con dition. This is so difficult that deaVrs re fuse to sell certain cheeses during hot weather, while others spoil so quickly as to be unsafe to buy. Where one lives within convtr.'.-n: distance of a store buy only enough cheese for immediate use. any loss is thus up to the dealer. If living in the country, it is neces sary to keep cheese on hand: though large supplies should not be laid in. Cream and soft cheese in jars or tin foil should be kept in the refrigerator until just before using. As the odor of the cheese quickly taints other foods it should be kept in a tightly covered glass or china bowl or jar A large preserving jar with screw iid will hold several smaller Jars of cheese. Do not eat cheese in summer if there is the least green mould on it. Impress this upon maids, as some of them scrape It from the edges and serre the rest of the cheese in balls or squares. Cheeses like Sweltier, American or certain of the English and Swiss cheeses, should be kept under a glass or china top ail the year round if brought in quantities. In warm weather it Is well to wrap the cheese first in a clean piece of lines wrung out of vinegar. Care of Brooms. With the increased cost of brooms, the thrifty housewife wishes to pre serve their usefulness as long as pos sible. Soak a now broom for several minutes in hot suds; this not only toughens but tightens the broom whisps. Then hang it up to dry. A broom, when not in use. should always be hung up. Cut a groove around the handle and tie a cord around it. leav ing a loop for hanging, or use one of the patent fasteners which screw to a door. These may be bought for a few cents. The soaking process should be repeated every fortnight. Another housewife washes her boroms in cold soap water, rir.se* thoroughly in cold water, snaps off all moisture possible and prvssing the corns into shape places where they will dry slowly. AU matting will also last longer when occasionally wiped up with salt and water. Little Date Pudding. One pound stoned dates, one-half pound suet, one cup Sour, one-half cup sugar, one scant teaspoon salt, one tea spoon cinnamon, one teaspoon ctitger. one cup soft tread crumbs, one cup milk, two «ggs well beaten. Put the suet and dates through th» food chopper together. Sift in the flour, sugar, salt and spices, add ths crumbs and mix all together thor oughly. Add the milk to the beaten eggs and mix again. Steam two hours in buttered individual mo ids. A pud ding steamed in individual molds is easy to serve and attractive looking, although a suet pudding is more moist and really better when cook'd in a larger mold, where there is pi- nt; of room for expansion. Chopped Piccalilli. Chop one peck of green tomatoes fine. Sprinkle with one enp of tub's salt and let stand over night. Dr.!’!!, add one quart of finely chopped grp* n peppers, first removing the seels; one quart of finely chopped onions and three cups of brown sugar. Cut into a small cheesecloth bag one table spoon of whole cloves aril three table spoons of broken cinnamon, cue table spoon cf white allspice and four ta blespoons of while mustard seed ‘Drop the spices into sufficient viLegar to cover the pickle and simmer s vera1 minutes, add the vegetables ar.d cook slowly until tender. Remove the spice bag from the pickle before sealing in jars. Keep in a cool, dark place Angel Cake Hints. A loaf of angel cake hollow cd out and with the crusts removed to give a snow white appearance makes a charming holder for ice cream. A snow-white cream flavored with al raond and decorated on top with vr igh red candied cherries, a delicate pale green cream flavored with pistachio and decorated with pieces of gtx'ca an getlca or a strawberry cream of del cate pink—all look charming ia sue a receptacle. Individual cups of angel cake may he used for a change an; the ice cream within them toptW w-'tb whipped cream Sweet Apple Pickle. Twelve pounds of sweet apples pared and quartered, four pounds of sugar, ore ounce of cinnamon bark, one-halt ounce of doves. one pint of vinegar. Put apices in a cloth, tie up. then boil vinegar, sugar and spices well; add ap ples and boil 2« minutes. Put ap ples la a jar. boil syrup until thick and pour over them. Simply delicious Tears are also good prepared this way. t'se winter sweet apples, also winter pears. Feather Biscuits. One pint of flour, two tablespoon fuls of hiking powder, a pinch of salt, one tables poonful of lard, one table spoonful of batter and a ccp of sweet milk. Mil flour, salt and baking pow der. rub in the lard and butter and moisten with the milk. Cut about hatf-tnch thick and bak* tn a quick oven twenty minutes. They never fail. Fruit Sandwiches. Butter either brown or whole wheat bread on the loaf, slice very thin and cut for sandwiches. Put ripe bananas, cut lengthwise, in thin slices. Out slices ia halves am! arrange a layer In each sandwich with a crisp lettuce leaf next to bread. Sprinkle lightly with salt and a few drops of lemon juice. To Clean Silver. Discolored silver may be easily cleaned in this way: Crush a tea spoonful of rock ammonia and pour over It half a pint of boiling water. When cold bottle, and use to moisten the plate powder. Leave the plate powder on the silver for half an hour and then brush off.
