A BLIC LIBRARY.

In order to make Phoenix public
educational facilities complete there
should be a public library. 1t seems
rather strange that a city which has
been so generous in gifts for the i'm
provement of its youth should have
neglected SO important feature OF the
scheme of education as public library.
The instruction the schools can impart
is defective unless supplemented by the
broader information to be gathered
from we'll selected collection OF books
on history, science, art and literature
in its many branches.
The work of collecting library has
been begun by Prof. Wollam, superin-
tendent OF schools, and considerable
encouragement has been afforded him,
but the object is deserving of more.
1t is desired that not less than thou
sand volumes may be secured as the
nucleus of library of which the town
may grow proud.
Tucson, whose schools are far inferior
to ours, whose wealth and population
are much less, has for some time had
an excellent library of 200 volumes.

of five grown persons and one infant.
A spade piled to the earth soon brought
to view the remains of six human
beings. These skulls were smaller
and not of such extraordinary think
ness as those exhumed from the first
trench. They also bore the appearance
ofhaving lain in the ground for a longer
period, as they would crumble apart of
their own weight, while those first dis
covered were in fair state of preser-
walton. The cavities of the skulls had
become filled with dirt, and it was only
with great care in handling that very
fair specimen was. preserved. The
trench was only three feet square and
about two feet deep. In order to place
human body into so small a grave it
must have been fearfully mutilated.
When found the arms were over the
head, while the tibia and fibia were
found under all. The skulls were
also found in different positions, some
being straight up and down, while 9TH
ers were lying face up and some with
the face down.
No pottery, metal or the like was
found by which they could be classed
with the mound builders.

A DESERTED VILLAGE RESTORED
To Be Utilized as a Summer Home for
Poor CITY Children,

To Be Utilized as Summer Home for
Poor City Children.
Among the hills of Berkshire county
in western Massachusetts, was pictur-
esque village known as Curtisville. 1t
was not town, but village within
the limits of Stockbridge, and only two
and half miles from the center of
that historic town. Forty years ago
there were about one thousand inhab-
itants in this village. A church, hotel,
stores, and many handsome private
residences gave an inviting aspect to
the village. The environment was
very attractive. Springs abounded,
and the small stream which flowed
through the village turned the wheels
of two or three large mills.
That such a village should have
been deserted is one of the strange
facts of modern times. Mining towns
in some instances have been aban-
doned, either because the mines gave
out or were closed. But in this village
among the hills of Berkshire the great
mills closed one day, and thereafter
never was wheel turned. The inhabi-
tants, save few farmers, depended
on the manufacturing industry. They
finally moved away, and for once an
abandoned village remained, with
empty churches, stores, hotels and
dwellings. What could be done with
a deserted village which might never
again be turned to manufacturing &C
count?
The New York Tribune, which has
gathered large sums of money every
year for it's ''fresh-air fund.-" recently
gave some account of what had been
done to recover this village. A
wealthy and childless New York lawyer
had passed through that abandoned
village many times during vacation
seasons, wondering what could be
done in the way of rehabilitation He
found that the right of occupation
could be turned over to him and he
could even buy the dwellings for a
nominal sum. The village would
make capital place for the poor chill
dren sent out from New York in mid
summer by means of the fresh air
fund. The man, who had lost his only
daughter, would do something in her
name. The abandoned village is to
be rejuvenated and filed with children
for part of the year. St. Helen's
home is to have dormitories, swim
ming baths, flower gardens, a gym
nasium, and everything that can make
the boys and girls town attractive.

BONES OF A DEPARTED RACE.
Found in Two Large Burial Places in Ne

braska-Men of Great Stature.
A farmer blowing near Calhoun, Neb.,
recently turned up human skull, and
search revealed large number of
other skulls, besides bones. These
relics were those of powerful race,
and who they were is unknown. The
skulls are large, but the forehead is
extremely low. An Omaha World Her
aid reporter visited the place, and a
measurement was taken of one of the
lower jaws found and compared with
the dimensions taken of one of the
men on the field. The relics jaw was
found to be an inch larger each way,
in proportion, than that of the person
whose measurement had been taken,
although he was six feet three inches
in height, weighed nearly two hun
dred pounds and had unusually large
jaws. The measurement of the lower
maXillary found is as follows: Depth,
four inches; width of the upper ex-
tremities, five and a half inches; width
inside measure from wisdom tooth to
wisdom tooth, two and a fourth inches;
total length of jaw, five and a fourth
inches. The upper was fully as large,
while the teeth resembled those of a
COW more than those of human be-
ing. They were badly worn and would
go to show that the owner ate meat,
presumably buffalo, great deal A
dentist when shown the teeth said that
they were much larger than any of
those of white person living in this
age.
A theory advanced is that these are
the remains of some Mandan Indians,
who were the earliest settlers of this
part of the country, but were ulti-
mately exterminated by the Sioux.
The size of these bones would explode
this theory, however, as the Mandans
were not large race. Another theory
is that they are, perhaps, the remains
of northwestern Indians who were
killed by another tribe. This tribe
were large in stature, according to ira
dition, many being six feet and more
in height.
The reporter found about fifty feet
from the location of this trench an
other in which were buried the remains

STATEHOOD NOTICE.

Owing to the fact that the act admitting
Arizona passed the house of representatives by
a very large majority, and the further fact that
the senate is undoubtedly in favor of our early
admission, we concluded that it was unneces-
sary to re-convene the statehood convention.
This conclusion has been submitted to various
of the committees of the convention and they
have all concurred therein
We therefore announce that the meeting OF
the statehood convent IN that was to have been
held on January IL, 1894, is indefinitely post
poned.

in that case strangely suggesting one

What occurs when belligerent bucks
actually engage only instantaneous
photography could record, so rapid are
their movements. Presumably, they
try to bite, but must consider defense
the better part of valor, for they never
appear to get hurt much, and between

HOW MICE MAKE WAR.
They Face Each Other, Standing on Their
Hind Legs.


Before we had much observed mice,
the use of their long tails was ques-
ton that had puzzled us. We do not
know of what service they are to the
females, but to the bucks they are, we
see, of use in their combats, for, when
they fight, they very often face one an
other standing on their hind legs, the
tails then making, as with kangaroos,
the third feature of a tripod
Their appearance, when they thus
stand facing one another with their
heads thrown back and their paws in
front of their faces, is, on account per-
haps of the resemblance it bears to the
posture of prize-fghters, extremely
comic, says writer in the Northwest
