A Cliff City in Arizona.

The ruined Cliff city discovered in Ari-
IONA last summer occupied the sides of
canyon which has been christened Wal
nut Canyon. 1t is an immense fissure in
the earth, with nothing above the gen
eral level of the country to indicate its
existence to the traveller until he stands
upon the sides of its almost precipitous
brink. The sides have been quilted by
storms and torrents. leaving shallow,
cave-like places of great length at differ
ent heights, along the bottom of which,
when the ledge furnishes a sufficient area,
dwellings in groups or singly were built.
The village was about three-quarters of a
mile in length, and consisted of single
row of houses, the common rear wall be-
ing the living rock, while the sides and
fronts were Of large square stones laid In
clay. A narrow street or path extended
along the front Similar villages ex-
tended along the canyon for distance of
five miles. Although many domestic inn
plements were found, nothing was dis
covered which indicated the character of
the people who once inhabited them.
There were no weapons of war, temples
or idols, hieroglyphics or pictures. There
was nothing to identify them with the
uncivilized races of the present day, and
though the wide extent of the ruins indi-
cate the existence once of allied races
covering large portions of the present
Territories of Arizona, New Mexico and
Utah, as well as Northern Mexico, their
origin and history constitute an unsolved
problem. -Four hundred years ago,
when first discovered, they were,

nErTER THAN HE KNEW.

A bad man in his garden found weed
That caused him trouble, so he thought ned
take
And cultivate it, so that he might make
It more source of misery by its seed,
And thereby trouble neighbors, good and
bad
Much valued time he spent in labor hard,
Developing this thing in his back yard;
And when he deemed this noisome weed he
had
Grown to perfection. as to smell and size,
To injure much his neighbor's cheerful
grounds,
When night had spread her mantle on his
rounds
He went scattering its seed. To his surprise
His culture haddeveloped pleasing powers
Each plant grew up the home of fragrant
flowers.
