JEWELLERS IN CLIFFS.

Frederick Schwatk, the explorer,
sends the following to the Inter
Ocean from Flagstaff, Ariz.: When
the announcement of my discovery
of cliff dwellers in Northern Chihua-
hua was made some months ago the
question was raised as to the rela-
ton of these living cliffdwellers sus-
tanned to the extinct tribes whose
dwellings are found in Arizona. 1
have examined the cliff dwellings
here and find them the same as those
in Chihuahua. This supports the
theory that the cliff dwellers driven
out of Arizona by warlike tribes
found safe refuge in the Sierra
Madres where | found thousand of
them a few months since.

Jealous of His Fame,

No one can be surprised when a man
refuses to share his hardly earned fame
with another, no matter how kindly his
feelings toward that other may be.
An aspiring young man, who had writ
ten yards of verses for the paper pub
lished in his native town, at first used
his initials. 81. r. L." for signature.
Later, however, he omitted the middle
letter, and a friend asked him the reason.
Cant you guessY asked the young
poetaster. "Wel, it may seem selfish,
but do want the credit of my own
work."
why shouldn't you have it?"
The young man looked sympathetic
ally at his stupid friend.
my dear fellow" said he, cant you
see how it IS? If use only two of my
initials people will soon associate them
with my name; but if write j. R. l..
James Russell Lowell will get all the
credit that belongs to me!"-Youth's
Companion.

AYOUNG MAN OF PUSH.

The longer we live the stronger
grows the conviction that, despite
the pooh-poohers, there is a great
deal in "the art of putting things"
| have just heard of an incident
that illustrates this significant truth
IN striking manner:
Twelve years years ago a young
man came to New York in search
of employment and fortune. He
carried his own trunk to lodging
house, because he could not afford
the luxury of a hired carrier. His
honest face and frank speech won
tor him his landlady's consent to a
weeks living on tick. So far good.
Now then for the bold plunge. He
went down to the offices of the
Herald, Times and Tribune, and in
vested his last shilling in an adver-
tlsement in the following words:
Il want something to do, and
must have it within twenty-four
hours Address PUSH this office"
In little while he had received
about 800 answers to his unique de-
mand for employment. One bust
ness man wrote: "Call at 9 o'clock
tomorrow morning and | may give
you a chance to show how vigorous
~ you can push. .
The tone of that reply pleased the
young adventurer, and at the ap-
pointed hour he presented himself
at the writer's office. The result
was a trial engagement, which has
continued until this time. Young
"Push' is now the confidential man
OF the house. His salary is ample,
and he lives in handsome style in
one OF the prettiest little homes in
New York, where pretty homes, in
the poetic sense of the word, are, as
we all know, lamentably scarce.
push" is his dominant character
lstic, and his employer has ten
thousand reasons to congratulate
himself on the impulse that led him
to reply to that little DE

THE FOOLED ELM,

The bold young Autumn came riding along
One day where an elm tree grew.
You are fair, he said, as she bends her heaA-
Too fair for your robes dull hue;
You are far too young for garb so old;
Your beauty needs color and sheen.
Oh, would c1othe you in scarlet and gold,
BETTING thy grace of queen
For one little kiss on your lips, sweet Elm,
For just one hss-no more
viii give you, swear, a robe more fair
Than ever princess wore
One lhtle kiss on those lips, my pet
And loi you shall stand, say,
Queen OF tho forest, and, better yet.
Queen Of my heart alway.''
She tossed her head, but--he took the kiss
(11s the way Of lovers bold;
And a gorgeous dress for that sweet cares
BE gave ere-the morn wasoM
For q week and day she ruled queen
In beauty and splendid attire;
Eo@ week and q deg she was loved, ween
With love that is born Of desire
Then bold eyed Autumn went on his way
In quest of a tree more fair;
And mob winds tattered her garments and sCaA
tered
Her inery here and there.
Poor and faded and ragged and cold
She rocked and moaned IN distress,
Ana longed Tor the dull green gown she had sold
For a lovers tickle caress
And the days went by and the winter came,
And his tyrannous tempests beat
On the shivering tree whose robes of shame
He had trampled under his feet
saw her reach to the knocking skies
Her poor arms bare and thin,
All, weu-a-day it is ever the way
With a woman who trades with sin

Brilliant Flesh Tints.

He had conceived an idea for a great
classical picture, and he hired a stalwart
gentleman of toll to pose for the mrscu-
lar figure required for the center of the
picture. He painted for days and days,
and he thought whenever he had his
model before him that he had never seen
such rich flesh tints before. And he
studied those flesh tints and worked till
he had got them perfect. Then he called
his brother artists in and showed them
the picture. t
"Those flesh tints don't seem quite
right. Where did YOU get them?"
They rich, aren't they? But they're
from nature. They're from my model. /"
well, they don't look quite natural. ;"
The last touches had to be given and
the model had come to pose for the last
time. When he stripped his torso and
took his position the painter stared
aghast. The brilliant flesh tints had
vanished and he was plain, ordinary
flesh colored individual.
''How's this? What's the matter with

How They We're Made.

Among exclamations in common use
"Halloo!'' and "Hurrah!' have curious
origins attributed to them. 1t is said by
the author of the Queens English" that
the people of Carnwood forest, Leioes-
tershire, when they desire to hail a per-
son at a distance call out not "halloo!'
but 'halloup!' This he imagines is a
survival of the times when one cried to
another: "A loup! a loup!' or as we
would now say: "Wolf! wolff "Hur-
rahr' again, according to NJ Littre, is

LOVE ROMANTIC, VET MOST TRUE.

Three men, who were good and great,
Favored by fortune ami fate
Loved one woman; but she
Loved none of the three
They were friends and they loved each Other
AS friend loves friend, or brother brother;
But no one evesspoke
The name his heart awoke
The first his love to the woman tokz,
In passions words. by hope made bod.
Better than fame or wealth,
More than life itself,
love you. ] love your he said
She listened, but she shook her head,
And answered. low andtrue:
Il love MOI; love not you"
The second said: II love you well,
More than through Life my lips can tell
Living, IN love but you,
In death to you be true"
Why, she did not understand,
But she laid in his her hand;
And throughout all herltte
She lived his faithful wife
OF his love for her, the third
Spoke never single word;
Yet was his loves degree
The highest Of the three
He watched her live and saw her die
But his heart never voiced cry.
Somehow, when her life was past,
He knew she was his at last.

An UnSainly Creature.

Man is an ungainly creature at the
best. His head is an irregular spheroid,
his eyes are not alike or of equal efficien-
cy; his whiskers won't grow uniformly.
One shoulder is higher than the other,
one hand or foot larger than the other
and this is on opposite sides-his hips Gf
he has any are unequal in shape. The
calves of his legs are not twins in any
thing but age; apd without his tailor,
halter and bootmaker he is a sorry hook
