A Curious House Built By Nature.

1t is a grand house and to build one
like it would cost millions Of dollars,
ii it could be done at all. And yet the
man who lived in it had hardly q dol
lar to his name. But then he didn't
buy the -s,use, because it was made by
nature on the rocky walls of Cabine
Canyon, in Arizona, thousands of years
ago, and has been ready for all occu-
pant ever since.
The man who lives in it is pros.
pector known as Mike. What other
name he has is not known, and besides
it doesn't matter. He says he was
going UP the canyon one day year or
so ago when he first saw the place, and
thought it was q house built by man.
When he saw his mistake he simply
took possession. Mikes house is truly
a most deceptive piece Of natures
hanliwork and very useful one. 1t
is on the canyon walls, probably 100
feet above the bottom and flight of
natural stone steps leads up to it.
1t is hard to convince ones self that
it is not the work of man until it is ex-
amined closely, when its enormous size
alone would make person know diff
ferently. 1t is only one story, but the
outside wall is over 100 feet high.
The door, which is in good proper
ton, is over tN enty-tive feet high, and
the room on the inside reaches up and
ends in black vault that there is no
telling how far away it is.
When Mike wants fire ejust makes
it on the floor and the smoke curls up
to the top and disappears somewhere.
This is somewhat strange, as no water
comes into the place and the smoke
cannot be seen coming out anywhere.
But it very likely goes through some
assure into cave beyond.
But Mike doesn't care where it goes.
He is satisfied with the convenience,
and thinks he is the best fixed pros
pector in the mountains. This house
of rock is most stronly suggestive OF
Egyptian architecture, and also bears
q great resemblance to some Of the
cave dwellings in the Salt River Valley.
The thing is an interesting curiosity,
and although it is the house of & pros
pector now there is a strong possibility
that it may in the past have done duty
as a home for some members Of the lost
races of this strange country. San

Guiana Indian Customs.

About nine miles above Akyma is a
large village Of aboriginal Macusi In
dians. They are said to be peaceable
savages, who build little grass huts and
90 about in puris naturalibus. Among
their singular customs is that OF ban
iaging the legs just below the knee and
around the ankle, SO as to produce an
abnormally large calf, beginning the
practice in infancy, as the Flathead In
lians do with their heads and the Chi
aese with their feet. Dame fashion die
;ates strange things even in these re-
note parts. Their neighbors, the Carlbs,
follow her DEGREES by making pin
cushion of the lower lip, by sticking
nto it several long, slender pins OF
oone or steel, resembling knitting
needles, or sharp thorns where pins
ire unobtainable, which they remove
or the exigencies of eating and kiss
ng, and afterward return to the same
,lace. .-Philadelphia Record

Idaho Has o Wild Man.

The wild man Of Idaho has again made
bis appearance. Many OF the people iv-
ing in Long Valley, in Boise County,
have reported having seen him In the
timber of the surrounding mountains
upon several occasions.
A sheep herder, while tending his
flock, saw man wandering along the
ridges of the mountains who would dis"
appear as soon as ne saw that he was OBJ
served. The herder hid In tree, and
vas rewarded by sight Of the uncanny
being. He was man about FIVE and
half feet in height, with dark brown hair
reaching almost to his knees, matted and
interviewer with burs. His beard was
long and similarly adorned. He were
what was at one time pair Of gray duck
overalls, but it was tattered aud torn.
In his hand he carried short heavy
stick. As he was passing along q grouse
dew up, and, QUICK as fash, the wild
nan threw his stick, aud with such un'
srring aim that the bird was killed. Ii
vas then eaten raw.
The herder hastened to bis camp, sad
lled his horse, and pursued the wild
nan, and when he had overtaken him,
.adeavored to secure him by means OF
.ariat, but failed. The strange being

| The opponents of City CLERK Sc,.ill1ng.
in order to injure bis chances of ,e-elec-
ton, are spreading the story that he
doesn't want the office and that his re.
cent accident incapacitates him for the
office of assessor. These stories alone
illustrate the methods of certain fac
ton l.. this town, and the mere fact that
they are trying to take advantage of a
mans misfortune to hurt him ought to
react in his favor. Mr. Schilling is a
candidate for his old Office and moreover
should receive a majority vote of his
fellow citizens. He has been faithful
servant, and has always labored to guard
the city s interests. The Office of asses
sor is in no way connected with that of
clerk and his injuries will not prevent
him omsattending faithfully to the lat
ter. The assessor is appointed by the
council and they are at liberty to name
whom they please. # they choose to
name Schill1ng, we have no doubt that
he Will be able to serve, but the asses
sorship doesn't enter into this campaigns.
The salary Of the City Clerk is $3.50 or
Whereabouts and this Mr.. Schilling has
earned in the past and deserves now that
he is crippled. At al events let the con
test be I. fair one and above board.
