CURIOUS HOUSES.

Description of an A,most vii
lage at the Mouth of tho Mississippi.
Among the IS. 0UQ, 900 people in the
United States there are probably not
5O0-outside Of the locality-who are
aware that at the mouth of the Missis-
sippi there is a little village built upon
wooden piles standing far out in the
water. This village which is called
Ealize. Is reached from the mainland by
| canoes or boats, aud its inhabitants have
to climb a kind of pole-ladder To get to
the doorways OF their homes. This is
probably the only place In the United
Stale, in which "pil-dwellings" occur;
but all along the Venezuelan coast aud
Mt the months OF the Orinoco and Amazon
similar villages are frequently met with,
many OF them being Inhabited by the
Indian fishing tribes OF the Amazon
| estuary.
These strange inhabitants were first
discovered by Alonzo de Ojeda, who ac-
companied Columbus on MS second
voyage to this continent. In 1899 he
undertook al independent voyage to
explore the northern part of South
America, and he took win MIN Amerlgo
Vespucci, who wrote q graphic account
of the expedition. The Following extract
from a Translation OF Vespucci's worR
| gives the origin of the name Veneznela,
q Tells OF Gn0 connection DotWeep The
curious village discovered there aud the
name Venezuela: proceeding along the
| coast, they arrived at y vast gulf reese M
bling a tranquil lake, entering VIII ich
they beheld oil the eastern side q village
| tie construction of which filled them
with surprise. 1t consisted of twenty
large houses shaped like bells, and BULL
on piles driven into the bottom of the
lake, which In this part was Iimpid and
| but OF little depth. Each house WAS pro-
vfded with a ~drawbridge aud canoes.
From the resemblance to the Italian city.
Ojeda gave the bay the nanie OF the Gulf
| or Venice (Vsnezla)." The country itself
was afterwards called Venezuela, or Lit
tie Venice, the original Indian name
being Coquibacoa.
In Lake Maracaibo, south OF the bay Of
Venezuela, similar pile buildings are still
erected by the Goajoir Indians. -Hdrper'S

Thomas Folger CT No. S54 Garfield
avenue, who deserted his wife Sunday
morning a week ago. has rsturned TO his
disrupted home. The facts OF The deser-
ton were related exclusively in The
JERSEY CITY NEWS on Saturday evening.
Folger returned TO Greenville on the
1850 train Saturday night aud went
straight to his house. His wife had
already began to sell off her thugs aud
Folger was much affected when he saw
He was received with open arms and
yesterdays diuner consisted mainly or
plump and we'll fattened veal.S
Mrs. Folger lac about concluded there
was another woman in the case when her
husband returned. She blamed the
Greenyille Yacnt Club. of which Folger
was q member. with causing the trouble,
though why was noe apparent. She even
went TO the extent OF inquiriuG of Arthur
Simmonds whether her husband had
ever been seen at the clubhouse with
another oma Mr.. Sinimonls' reply
WAS decidedly to the contrary.
Folyer's return may cause Mrs. Folgsr
to change her plans. She had conteinp.
lated Immediate removal to New York
city. To tuis end she had bsgun TO SSH
Off all her belongings, which consisted
mainly of some handsome farniture.
This Is what first brought the case iuto
publicity.
Thesdesertion was peculiar from the
fact that the couple had be.n married
twenty~one years when this trouble be-
gan. Folger's love for strong drink and
consequent business troubles were at the
bottom Of the trouble.
