ANCIENT RELICS ~ MEXICO.

TlE Chicago iter.Oosan publishes
the following brief account OF ancient
runs In Mexico, describing some OF
the works OF the former inhabitants Of
the land, further particulars Of which
may he found exclusively In the Book
Of Mormon:
According to tho stories told by o
traveller who comes from Nognle-, Ariz.,
the mountains Of Los Trinch oras, Mex.
arc worth scientific exploration. The
traveller is stopping at tho Leland and
tolls OF tho wonders OF Los Trlncheras
country. The mountain Is situated In
tho Sonora Plains, about ono hundred
and my miles from tho Gulf Of Califor-
mia and twenty-five miles from tho town
OF Altar. It isnear the placer gold fields,
which have been worked since
1901 and are sill Iich in orc. Tho
mountain Of Los Trincheras il 1OO,
feet high aud 200 yards across.
Large stone tornccs, from six to ten feet
high, have been built on all sides, from
tho base Of tho hill TO it's summit. "It
must have iakon 100000 men yoar to
build these Terraces" said the traveller.
"seyoral theories are advanced Tor the
construction Of these terraces. some
think they were part " a tremendous
amphithcaire, whore tho people gathered
to witness games. Others believe they
woro Qualifications OF Aztec origin, but
they seem older that that. Al any ratio
the district seems worthy of thorough
exploration by scientific men. Many
unique aud valuable relies can be found
around tho curious Los Trlnrhoras
mountain, aud for hundreds Of mile, In
all directions, showing that tho country
was once populous aud rich"

ABOUT Patronizing Homo In
dustries.

One OF our exchanges has this to
say about the practice INDUCED in by
some people Of sending away for many
things they should buy at home. II
you are one Of those for whom it is in
tended you should carefully read and
reflect upon what is here said:
One of our leading merchants calls
our attention to, the supreme impor-
lance of patronizing home institutions.
No argument is necessary to prove
that for citizens to go elsewhere to buy
their goods is a glaringly suicidal
policy. Even if an individual NAV
save a few dollars by spending his
money in some other town, he loses
many times the amount thus saved in
the long run. For, although there
may be no organized boycott on him,
let it be known that he does not patron
ne local houses and many a dollar will
be quietly turned away from hint
matters not what business he is en-
gagged in. He is not a good citizen
and ought not to succeed. He is on
par with the merchant who advertises
his wares on dead walls and with every
passing fake, but whose name is never
seen in the advertising columns of the
local paper. Both are trying to be
cunning. and both are ''getting the
worst OF it, As they should.

Read the Advertise ents.

1t is hardly necessary we think to
advise the intelligent newspaper reader
to read the advertisements. If he is
interested he will not fail to do this.
There is interesting and valuable news
in the advertising columns. Much in
formation can be obtained from thor
perusal. However, the New York Re
corder INDUCES in little advice on
the subject. 1t says
There is very strong probability,
to say the least, that you will find in
this advertising matter the very news
that transcends all The other news in
value to yourself. Even if you do not
find thi. you will certainly discover
matter that will instruct and perhaps
amuse you. Read the advertisements
day by day for a week, to begin with.
Do not lay aside your paper until you
have read them, and you will form a
habit that will be a never-failing source
of instruction and diversion-a liberal
education in itself.
