The architecture Of the Pueblo is
unique and characteristic; and their
original houses look like nothing else
in the world. They are all terraced,
so that the front of building looks
like a flight of gigantic steps. The
second story stands well lack upon
the roof Of the first, which gives it
broad, uncovered porch. so to speak,
its whole length; the third story is
similarly placed upon the second, and
SO on up. There are no stairs inside
even the largest of these buildings
except sometimes ladders to go down
into the first story, when that is built
IN the old fashion, without doors. In
Acoma, which has over seven hun
dred people, there are but six doors
on the ground; and to get into the
first story of any of the hundreds Of
other houses, you mustgo up ladder
to the first roof, enter the second
story, lift wee trapdoor in its floor,
and back down another ladder to the
ground floor All the stairs are out
side the house and can be moved from
place to place-a plan which has its
advantages as well as its drawbacks,
for they are all simple, clumsy, and
Odil 1dQUSES.
All these architectural peculiarities
were for purposes of defense. The
lower story was a dead wall, into
which an enemy with only aboriginal
arms could not break = and some of
these walls have defed American
field-pieces. The ladders could be
easily drawn up; and the level roofs
made an excellent position from
which to rain stones and arrows upon
the foe. Even if the enemy captured
the first roof. the people had only to
retire to the second, from which they
could fight down with no less advan-
tage Even where a terraced house
stood alone, it could easily be defended
against far superior force; and as
rule the tenementS were built around
a square, so that their sheer back
walls presented a cliff-Iike face which
no savage foe could scale. and their
fronts faced upon the safe common
Enclosure. At Pecos, the largest of
the PuebloS, and at many smaller
ones, an Indian could step from his
door and walk around the whole town
on any one of the tiers of roofs. Some
times these communitY-houSes were
terraced on both sides; and the two
at Taos are like huge pyramids, slOp-
ing to the top from all four sides.
The stone walls are plastered inside
and out with adobe-clay, which makes
a smooth, substantial wall and looks
very neat when brilliantly white
washed, according to the Pueblo GUS
tom, with gypsum The rafters are
the straight trunks of tapering pines,
stripped Of their bark;and above these
is a roof of straw and clay which is
perfectly water-tight. The doors and
windows are all small, another relic
of the days of deadly danger, and in
the more ancient houses the windows
are only thin sheets of gypsum.
Nearly every room has it's queer
southwestern fireplace, in which the
sticks are burned on end. Those for
heating alone are very tiny, and stand
| in corner; but the cooking f1replaces
often fill one side Of a room. and I'M

people can sit.-St. Nicholas.

Gold by the Pound.

Mr.. Brown, an old South American
miner, was exhibiting some fine large
nuggets of gold at the Spokane Hotel
to-day, one or which contained over
$500 in gold. Naturally enough the
conversation drifted to the gold fields
where they were found.
Nh. Brown tells, and the Chronicle
repeats, many interesting stories and
incidents connected with his mining
life in that country. The placer
mine which he owns is located near
Surinam, in Dutch Guinea. about ten
miles from the. coast. Altogether
this claim is not as rich as many 9TH
ers there. Mr.. Brown took out about
half a ton of pure gold. He says he
has seen nuggets that would weigh
400 ounces, which equals about SO, 600.
SIT is the richest gold field in the
world, said he, "but it takes capital
to prospect it. No one should at
tempt to go there without at least
So, 900 capital and whole lot of ex-
perience. 1 spent about SIS, 600 in
prospecting. You are compelled to
employ natives to carry your food and
baggage when out. The forests are
all but impenetrable, and you have
to work your way very slowly. The
country is very warm, being only
degrees from the equator, and the
earth is very damp, so you are COM
PEELED to carry hammock to sleep
in. The suns rays never penetrate
the dense mass offoliage to the moist
earth, which makes it miasmatic and
unhealthy.
1.-THE land there is very easily and
cheaply acquired. The Government
charges cents per hectare 1.-TWO and
one-half acres) for the two first years,
10 cents for the third and fourth
years, and 20 cents per hectare TOR
every succeeding year of occupation.
The quantity of land that one man
may own is unlimited, and several
companies now control hundreds of
thousands of acres.'
Mr.. Brown makes a visit to the
Guinea gold fields every year, and al
ways brings back quantities of the
bright yellow metal.

Wonders of Climatic Changes.

The changes of terrestrial climate
have been many and various. Myrtles
and tree ferns once fiOuriShed in
Greenland; coral insects built on the
shores of Melville Island; nautiluses
sailed over what must then have been
the tepid seas about SpitZbergen.
But with the lapse of ages the scene
changed and worse than arctic rigOrs
spread into regions now enjoying tenn
perate climate, possibly not for the
first time. The Permian was GER
tainly an inclement age, according to
the Edinburgh Review, and it's in
clemency seems even to have reached
the point of glaciation in the west of
England and Ireland, yet it was pre-
coded and succeeded by a long pre-
valence of tropical conditions. These
assuredly reigned without Interrupt
ton in north Temperate and polar
regions throughout the vast eXpanse
of tertiary time. Palms and cycads
then sprang up ia the room of oaks
and beeches in England; turtles and
crocOdiles haunted English rivers and
estuaries; lions, elephants and hyenas
rOamed at large over the English dry
land
La Switzerland mean temperature
equal to that of North Africa at the
present time Is shown by its fossal
flora to have prevailed during the
miOcene or middle tertiary epoch.
Antrhopoid apes lived in Germany
and France. fig and cinnamon trees
fiourished at Dantzic; in Greenland,
up to 20 degrees of latitude. magnolias
bloomed and vines ripened their fruit.
while in Spitzbergen and even in
Grinnell Land, within little more
than s degrees of the pole. the swamp
expresses and walnuts, cedars, lines,
planes and poplars grew freely, water
lilies covered over standing pools and
irises lifted their tall heads by the
margins Of streams and rivers.

cone of the greatest Blemishes Of
the Fair Sex" is the subject of a
quaint warning addressed to the
reader of 1.-THE Young Ladies Con-
Duct wise and witty essay on be-
havior, published in London in 1922.
The book is. one of the first written

''aYoid Anger which is a profesSed
Enemy to Reason, Prudence, and Adj

encouraged soon grows dOmineering,

things in Nature. A drop of Rain

Tempest in the Mind that Reason

s'Be careful then to nip this unrulY
Passion in the Bud; suffer not your
self to be made uneasy for Trifles, SO
will you sooner stifie your Anger upon
greater Occasions; to get such a Con-
quest over the Heart will be a Tri-
umph worthy of yourselves. Anger
is the very Death of Beauty, Grace,
Virtue. Consider Ladies how far you
are addicted to this unbecoming
habit and reclaim yourselves by the
contrary Virtues of Patience, Meek
ness, and Forbearance.

Ga1awav,s Four Gates.

In the ancient city of Galway
there were four gateways with pro-
tecting towers. These gates looked
north, south, east, and west re-
spectively, and were built to ward of
attacks from the four warlike and
war-lOYing Irish tribes that dWelt
around. On each gate was a motto
alliterative and pregnant with mean
ing. The north gate bore this in
scription, 'sFrom the ferocious O'Fla-
herties, good Lord deliver us" On
the west gate was From the muir
derous O'Maddens, good Lord preserve
US" The prayer over the south gate
read: ''From the deVilish O'Dalys,
good Lord defend u.s." The eastern
and last gate bore for its motto !:
From the cutthroat O'Kellys, good
Lord save and keep US" But the
gates proved very little protection
against the four terrible tribes; and
''ferocious O'Flaherties, - ''murderous
O'Maddens," 'deVlish O'Dalys," and
cutthroat O'Kellys" frequently
stuffed their philabeg pouches with
the good red gold OF the Galway
burghers Miscellany.

THE BOYS.

Some philosopher says let the boys use the
tools all they want to. It will cost some
thing in nails, but they will learn more in
doing their work than the nails cost. This is
good advice. In some of our schools in our
larger cities they are now training lads to
the use of tools. Some boys are natural
mechanics while others cannot whittle a
round stick. But for the lad who has a bent
this way nothing gives him such happiness
as to be engaged in the work of constructing
some implement or toy. No man who has
ever been through the delightful occupation
of kite building would exchange his expert
ences for anything that later years have Civ
en- him. The Joy when the first kite went up
has never been surpassed by all the triumphs
of after days. Take care of the boys and
when they are sick with that languid feeling
that Is a prcmOnitOry symptom of malaria
give them the Laxative Gum Drops and they
will soon be well. These gum drops are the
best cathartic IN the world. They contain
nothing deleterious and they will keep in any
climate, and in all weathers. They are the
best things for children and persons of weak
stomachs, for they will produce the proper
result in every case where their use is per-
sisted in. The small boxes cost ten cents,
the large ones twenty-five cents.

A Cat Defeated br Birds.

A Pennington Me.) gentleman
tells the Chronicle good story of the
sagacity of the purple martins,
which abound in that vicinity. This
gentleman has over fifty of these
social birds in the house upon his
grounds A day or wo ago, while the
birds were flying about the garden, a
cat caught one OF the martins and
started of with it in her mouth, the
bird crying piteously. Quick as a
flash, however, the whole flock of
martins were after pussy, lighting on
her back as ''thick as fieas," pecking
and scratching her and screaming as
only martins can. Puss could not
stand this very long, and she dropped
the martin, arched her back up, spit.
and ran for life. Then the birds left
her and all flew TO the house, loudly
chattering over the rescue of their
comrade.
