The year which has just come to an
end was remarkable for even more Iiu-
merous instances of longevity than Its
predecessor. Among the centenarians
who have passed away may be be men.

who was born in 1850, fought in the
rising of US, thatched cottages at 1O6,
and lost his wife in her Tooth year; Pol

FOUND IN THE SIERRA MADRES

A Strange Prehistoric City Accident
ally Discovered by an Adventurous
Miner.
Malvern w. Cresworth, an English
miningman we'll known throughout
Southwest Mexico, arrived at Mapimi,
Mexico, recently from a long journey
through the Sierra Madre Mountains,
his starting point being Culican, near
The Pacific coast, in the state of Sina-
lOa. He claims to have visited a sec
|! tlon of country never before visited
by white man of the present genera
ton, and that he discovered a large
and beautiful deserted city. He told a
correspondent Of the St. Louis Globe
Democrat that the wonderful city is
situated about eighty miles west Of
Lake Colorado, in the very receSseS of
the Sierra Madres. 1t occupies basin
about ten miles long by eight miles
wide. Perpendicular cliffs surround
the basin on all sides, rising to height
of hundreds of feet. The only en-
trance to the city is through a deep
canon, which has the width of about
thirty feet Mr.. Cresworth states that
he stumbled onto the secret entrance
AullS ny dCClueLlI. ne gives .V1Vlu
description Of the deserted city. The
buildings, he says, are conssc'la. I'll Of
red stone blocks, resembling granite,
The business blocks are two and three
stories in height. and are entirely diff
fer( mt III architectural design from the
structures built by the Aztecs and
SpaniardS. The streets are very mar
row. but are laid out in regular order
In the city is a small park which is
oyergrOWn with rare flowers and
+ tropical vegetation. He entered the
business houses and decaylng resi-
denceS, but found very little of value
except some remarkable and strange
ornaments made of stol le. He believes
that the city was looted at the time
that It was deserted, whenever that
may have been. No records or writ
ings Of any kind were found, nor did
he discover any skeleton that would
give an idea as to the race of people
who at one time inhabited the city.
None of the natives of that section of
country had ever heard of the deserted
city. Mr. Cresworth is making diligent
inquiry of them. Mr. Cresworths story
is very startling and remarkable, but
it is believed by those to whom he has
related his experiences. He will or.
ganize an expedition to make a thor.
0ugh exploration of the city.

why Mgr. Lnvigerie's Face In Now
Adorned by a Flowing Iseard.
An interesting story Is told by the
New York Tribune regarding the rea-
sons which led Cardinal Lavigerie to
allow his great beard to grow, to which
1t has been SAID, much of his authority
in Africa Is due. When the famous
prelate arrived at Algiers to take up
his duties of archbishop he saw with
regret that the faces of all the priests
were covered with hair At the recep-
tion Of the clergy the cardinal showed
his displeasure at this, and virtually or
dered them to visit the barber at once
There was great excitement among the
long gbearded priests, who disliked to
sacrifice the facial ornaments, which
were their chief pride. But Pater Cir
ard, the popular superior OF the semin-
ary in Algiers and the possessor Of the
most lombard like beard, calmed them
by saying he would persuade the car
dinal to rescind his order On the day
following the prelate's arrival in AL
gierS Pater Girard accompanied him on
his first official journey. AS they ar
rived in a village inhabited exclusively
by native Africans the oldest inhabi-
tants, who had long known the superior
came to pay their respects to the prince
of the church. They looked with sur
prise on the freshly shaven face of the
cardinal, and a lively conversation fol
lowed, accompanied by gestures illus
trative Of aStOnishment.
What are they saying" asked Car
dinal Lavigerie, with impatience.
Oh answered Pater Girard, pre-
teHding to be greatly embarrassed,
they are great children! You need pay
no attention to their nOnsensical talk I"
But tell me, as l should like to
know" continued the cardinal unable
to suppress his interest and curiosity.
"Well,' came the reply, they cannot
understand why man shaves him
self. They think you are a woman,
and very beautiful one"
1t need hardly be added that the
archbishop of AlgierS allowed his
priests to retain their long boards In
deed, a few months later the cardinal
himself appeared with great beard,
which soon became known throughout
the northern part of Africa.

The stokc-Hoids of ocean Racers

Well, in these days of great mechanl-
cal Improvement, Stoke-hOlds are losing
their terrors. They are getting to be
quite comfortable. Great strides have
been made in the last twenty years in
Increasing the speed Of ships, and it
isn't too much to say that most of it
comes through better and stronger boil
ers. Twenty years ago the boilers Of
the fastest ships sustained only 20
pounds Of steam pressure to the square
inch, but now they sustain with ease
165 pounds. This means more than
double the steam than formerly, and
much faster twisting Of the screws. 1t
also means more coal and more stOking,
but not near so much in proportion to
the gain in steam. This is because fur
naces have also been improved, but the
work of feeding their angry throats is
hard enough; so hard, indeed, that
steamship owners have found that 1t
pays to look after the comfort of the
Stokers as well as others Of the crew,
and hence stoke-holds are beginning to
be ventilated and to be more comforta-
bic as working places. The tempera-
ture of stoke-holds is still above 100
deg. when brisk work is going on, but
ventilators keep pouring fresh cool air
into the place and the stokers almost
never suffer from exhaustion in new
steamships.
The stoker works only eight hours a
day, and this is divided into two
watches of four hours each. That is,
he works four hours, then has eight
hours rest, and then works four hours,
and doesn't think his lot is such a bad
one after all. To be sure, on merchant
men he has to be bounded all the time
to do his work properly, and he expects
it, for he has a chronic objection
against working without being driven
to 1t, and oftener than not doesn't think
it worth while to wash his face in his
eight hours interval of rest. He prOba-
bly, wouldn't thank you for your SYM
pathy if you tried to tell him his life
Is hard.-Harper'S Young People.

Medical writer's claim that the successful
remedy for nasal catarrh must be non-ir-
ritatlng, easy of application and one that
will reach the remote sores and liberated
surfaces. The history of the efforts to treat
catarrh is proof positive that only one rem
edy has completely met these conditions,
and that is Ely's Cream Balm. This safe
and pleasant remedy has mastered catarrh
as nothing else has ever done, and both
physicians and patients freely concede this
fact.

LEFT THEIR POSTS.
An Engineer Jumped From His Engine,
1t Ran Away and Collision Ensued.

Philadelphia, Septem ber 80. The New
York and Washington express on the
Pennsylvaniass..railr left Broad street
station at H. 80 a. m. today, and collided
with runaway sh fling engine at 30th
street. Six persons were hurt, and all
aboard the express badly shaken up. No
one was seriously hurt, and with one ex-
ception the injured were able to go to
their destination. The shifting engine
was being run for a siding when a
freight train over took it and struck
the tender. The engineer and fireman
of the shifter jumped, and.the blow re-
ceived by the tender started the shifter
forward and it ran away. Before it had
gained any great speed the express swung
around the curve, and the crash came.
Fortunately the express was running
comparatively slow. The shifting. en-
engine was badly damaged, and the front
end of the baggage car smashed In. AT
ter short delay the train proceeded.
