Ruins Of a City In Texas,

During the survey Of the Kansas CITY,
El Paso and Mexican railroad, the sur.
veyOrS came across the ruins of the city
Of Gran Guivera, known already to the
early Spanish explorers, but seldom Wis
tied by white men OF the present day.
These ruins at Gran Guvera are of gi-
gantic stone buildings of magnificent
proportions and built in very substan-
tial manner. One was four acres in ex-
tent. Every indieation around the ruins
was evidence of the existence here at
one time of dense population, although
now it is forty miles from water. To
the south lies the lava flow, called by the
local population the Molpais. 1t is sea
of molten black glass, which has cooled,
retaining its ragged and Enthusiastically
shaped waves from ten to twelve feet
high. 1t is about forty miles long and
from one to ten miles wide. For miles
on all sides the country lies buried in fine
white ashes, to depth as yet not reached
by any digging. No legend exists as to
the destruction or abandonment of the
ruined city, but one OF the engineers Of
the surveying party advances the theory
that Gran Gluvera was in existence when
the terrific volcanic eruption took place
which so desolated and burned up the
surrounding country. The secrets of
the early civilization of prehistoric
America Glide our possessions; yet that
such civilization existed, we have
abundant proof The many mysterious
ruins IN Central America may yet yield
some information of the people who
built and inhabited them, and persisted,
leaving no satisfactory memorial Of their
existence. --Demorest.

How TO Put On Cloves.

a great de,ai depends on the first put
ting on of gloves. Have the hands per
fectly clean, dry and cool and never put
on new gloves while the hands are warm
or damp. Where a person is troubled
with moist hands it is well to powder
them before trying on the gloves; but in
most cases, if the hands are dry and cool.
this Is not needed First work on the
fingers, keeping the thumb outside of the
glove, and the wrist of the glove turned
back. When the fingers are in smoothly
put in the thumb and work the glove on
very carefully, then placing the elbow
on the knee, work on the hand When
this is done smooth down the wrist and
button the second button first, then the
third, and SO on to the end Then smooth
down the whole glove and fasten the
first button. Fastening the first button
last when putting on glove for the first
time makes good deal of difference in
the fit, although it may seem but very
of a glove that is the easiest to the strain
at first, and prevents the charging of
the button hole either of which is sure
to take place if you begin at the first but
ton to fasten the glove. When removing

be omitted. Never roll gloves into each
other in wad, for they will never look
SO well after. There is always some
moisture in them from the hands; conse-
Guentiy, when Solled up this moisture
has no chance df drying, and must work
into the gloves, making them hard and
stiff and of very little use after, as far as
looks or NJ u.s. concerned.-Dry Goods

Local ana General Gossip in Railway
Circlea

The month of October, which has just
closed, will show adecrease in freight traffic
over the corresponding month OF 1887. Inc
principal cause of this is found in the fall-
ing off in Florida bus passenger traffic,
of course, showing the greatest loss-due to
the fever epidemic. o
Several of the New York railroads have
been granted an extt nsiOn of time, until
Jan. |, 1889, to equip their passenger cars
with some method of heating that will do
away with the deadly stove, which the law
of that state has abolished.
The stockholders of the Birmingham Min
eral Railroad Company will meet in Biz
mingham this month and vote upon
proposition to increase the capital stock
100000 The Birmingham Mineral is
marvel among railroads, having paid for its
construction out of the net earnings of the
first year.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive Eng.
neers, which has Just adjourned its annual
session at Richmond. Va, reports MEM
bership of $4,000, divided among 1874 divis-
ions in the United States, Canada and
Mexico. The federation scheme, contem-
plating an alliance with the firemen, brake
men, switchmen and the Knights of Labor,
was not adop ed by the engineers strict
neutrality will be observed in cases of
strikes-thet is, no fireman will take charge
of locomotive abandoned by a striking
engineer. This viii practically effect the
same result as federation.
