\ CLIFF TOWN.
The Discovery in New Mexico of a
 Canyon Full of Caves.
rWsshinqton Star.


 James Stephenson, of the United Stat s Geological Survey, District ol New Mexico. arrived here last night, bIiuging news of an important dis coyery he has made recently Tn the course of his labOrs. While near Santa Fe. New Mexico, recently, he was informed by Indians that there were within a few miles some ancient caves that he would find interesting. Guided by them, he found, forty miles from Santa Fe, ten miles from the Rio Grande, a cliff town composed of caves in the rocky side of canyon thirty miles long. never before visited Inv n white man. He was so much impressed with the greatness of his discovery. that for moment he was scarcely able 10 speak. When he did, it was in terms of wonder and admir- stion. This town, or succession of excavations in the solid rock for thirty miles, is one of the largest, if not the largest, ever discovered. The houses are dug out of the rock side to depth of from fifteen to twenty feet. Ap- parently, they were eXcavated with stone implements. They are almost inaccessible from the plains. MT. Stephenson, however, managed to chamber up the rocky precipice and entered and examined several of the houses. He found in them a number of articles that he thought remains Of their first possessors. He will prob ably prepare a report upon the cliff town. as he calls il. A scientist who has travelled in that region and visited other caves and excavations of a slml- lar kind, says he is disposed to believe that they have Been teAanted within modern times by Indians at war with each other seeking safety and advan- tage over their enemies. He thinks the remains found there are the rem nants of the things these belligerents have used. eaten or worn, and not the relics of the first owners of the rock houses

Dog and Cat Hunting Together

BrunrWlck lMc.l lele@Iaph-l
 4 gentleman informs Us that he was in New Hampshire last summer. when the following incident came under his observation: The men were mo wing Tn the field, and accompanying them was large Newfoundland dog, who watched the operation and saw some mOles start in the grass; the dog caught several, digging for them and killing them. All at once the dog dis appeared and was gone for some time. Looking up the field in the direction of the farm house, our informant saw the dog troiting down toward the men and by his side was trotting the house cat, the greatest cordiality always eX- iStIng between the two animals. The dog brought the cat directly up to the swath, and soon pussy understood what was up. As soon as a mole was started she caught and killed him, and when one retreated to hole the dog scented and dug him out, the cat in this case killing the mole, and so the dog and cat hunted together for quite a time, until they wearied of the sport. We suppose we shall be told that in- stinct governed the animals, and that they had no language in winch to communicate with each other

"Tp Salt River

The Cincinnati Commercial gives the following information to a cores pendent who asks: What Is the meaning of the term Salt River? v |" The answer tO yoUr question opens up a very interesting bit of Ohio River pioneer history. Prof. Steele de We're gives the origin of the phrase in his book called Americanisms The English Of the New World Be- fore the day of steam all navigation of the Ohio River was carried on by flat boats and keel boats. It was neces- sary 10 TOW the keel-bOats up stream. The labor was painful and exhausting. There were slaves all along the Ken lucky side of the river in those days. When a negro had been refractory or
 sassy, it was the custom to punish him by hiring him out 10 row keel boats up the river. This punishment was called rowing up In time it became the popular slave term for scolding or punishment of any sort. all over the country, much as the term ofS blowup is applied nowa- days. Prof. De We're quotes this sen tence from the New York Herald of May :, 1856: We hope the President gave his secretary a good rowing up for his imbecility.' Salt River was and is little tributary of the Ohio. in Kentucky. It was so crooked and dangerous that rowing q keel boat up its waters was about the hardest labor man could undertake. Hence to row a man up Salt rIver was as severe punishment as could be imposed on him. The expression became prov erbial. One day, on the floor ol Con- gress, a member from Kentucky made use of the phrase in happy allusiOn. The expression was then crystalized in the popular speech of the country. From that day to this the person or party that has been badly defeated in an election is sent up Salt River

THE HOUSEHOLD.

COOKING MRATs.-The proper method
of roasting is first To place the meat
near the fire, 20 coagulatc the exterior.
and form the impermeable crust. When
this IS accomplished it should DE re-
moved 10 distance, and the cooking
finished slowly at lower TEN perature.
The effect of the roasting thus conduc-
ed Is To increase the properties Of the
osmazone, thereby rendering the meat
more gratifying to the palate. At the
same time the judicious application OF
the heat has cooked the mass without
making it tough and since the meat is
suspended, the fat as 1t melts, flows off
and does not soak into il. In baking
the application of the heat Is more con-
tinuous; the juices are i'm a greater
measure extracted: the confined vapors
OF the oven injure the flavor; the Joint
rests i'm path OF melted grease, the
tempature OF which is not high enough
TO prevent its soaking into the meat,
ana the fat that melts on top of the
mass is absorbed and seriously impairs
the digostibility Of the lean portions.
Roasted meat is juicy, tender and flaw
orless. Baked meat is dry, often tough.
and deficient in flavor. The lossi the
three methods OF cooking, we have con-
sidered is OF some interest, from an
economic point of view, and NAV be
stated as follows;4 bs. Cf beet lose, i'm
boiling, ! H.. in baking, ! H., 3 Oh. in
roasting, l ID. 3 on. 4 lbs. mutton lose.
in boiling, If on. ia baking, / ~. Oh. /;
In roasting, ! III. 6 on. From this IL
would appear that roasting rs the most
expensive method; but when we con-
slider the great development i'm flavor.
this objection is outweighed, especially
when we recolloct the melted fat Is not
lost, but may be employed for many
purposes. Regarding the other meth
DDS OF cooking we shall say but little.
since the chemical principles involved
are similar TO those already considered.
Boiling requires n brisk rire, il it is too
weak the juices will be lost and the
nutritive power proportionately dimin-
ished. Frying is boiling in melted fat
instead OF water. The fat should be
not enough to crust the flesh rs soon as
1t is introduced, so that the meat shall
not absorb the grease and thereby be-
come indigestible. II is an old aging
in armies that the frying pan kills
more men than the bullet, and this ia
unfortunately too true If the frying
pan Is not properly conducted. Steam
ing, sauteing, stewing and other meth
DDS, all have their special uses: but
their consideration appcrtalns rather to
the amenities of the art than to the
chemical and physiological actions with
which we are called to deal.

The Stork and the Herder-Once, i'm the
SUNNI or, when the corn stood high, a
stork was often seen in the fields be-
longing to the Molbos, stalking up and
down in the grain-patches to catch
frogs. This annoyed the Molbos great.
ly, for they thought the long-iegged
bird trod down vast deal Of grain
Ihey therefore consulted how to drive
the bird away, and the conclusion
was, that the heTder of their village
should go into the fields and chase the
bird ont. But ms he went in for the
stor6, they noticed that his feet were
very large and broad, and it occurred to
them that the herder would trample
down more grain than the stork. Then
they again puzzled their brains what ia
DO and how to get ria of the stork,
But one OF the party spoke up ut last
with a sensible advice that they might
carry the herder through the gram
so that he should not tread it down.
This idea was approved by all. They
therefore went forth and took one of the
fence-gates off its hinges. made tho
herder sit down on il, and eight mer
lifted the gate to their shoulders anC
carried the herder through the corn
where the stOrk was, so that he might
drive it away. Thus the herder was
kept from trampliug down the grair
