THE CLIFF RUINS OF COLORADO.

A Region of Especial Interest to Students
 of the Prehistoric.
 The cliff ruins of the San Juan and the Mancos have been the center of at traction, have been viewed from all sides, and their wonders have been told and retOld to the world time and time again. Scientific men have visited the region, have penetrated southwestern Colorado and have considered that sec tion place of especial interest, because the cliff and cave dwellings are probably the oldest ill this str;&lge land, being the first built ill that mysterious journey southward of q great but unknown peO- pie. For 20 years the prospector has followed the San Juan river and gazed with careless uncOncern on the rough and broken walls, so full of interest to the arch9OlOgist

The canyon is several miles wide, and a descent can be made to the river only by a precipi- tous trail, but as the river approaches the great Colorado the canyon becomes more narrow and the wall more perpen- dicular, and when it mcrges into the Grand canyon it is scarcely more than a deep, dark channel
 A few miles from the Colorado river, where the canyon is not more than 500 or 1000 feet from wall to wall, and where the walls are perpendicular and smooth, on the right wall are the pie lures of seven warriors with bows drawn to the last notch, while across the river on the opposite side are the pictures of seven antelope, apparently in full run to escape the hunters. These pictures are well executed and are ill the mos, inaccessible places. Evidently the artist had to be lowered from 8 ledge hundreds of feet above the picture and held suspended while he performed his tedious task. There are many places in the mystic southwest where suck paintings arc to be found - Denver Field and Farm.

 wakes whom nations dread!'' At last ye have reused the sea Queen-ht last,

 through all the earth, The ring of warriors weapons, stern music ot
 soldiers mirth. In the world there may be nations, and there
 gathers round every throne The strength of earth born armies, but the sea

 With flowers all around me, on my breast And in my hands, and on my face the light That angels shed upon their dead at rest If Were lying thus, and ono should say Such bitter things as you have said to me With sternest anger you would drive away That one and swear 'twere all base calumny I'll not rcbuke you, though my heart be full dare not chide. l, too, may bo astray.

LOST AND FOUND.

Jane looked the doctor firmly in the face across the little bed as he lifted her sisters limp hand and noted with pro- fessional glance the various particulars of the case. Item 1, high temperature, feeble pulse, blank face, with wide. un- seeing eyes; item 3, never any vitality worth speaking of and now neither will nor desire left, the other girl not much better, but wiry and full of dOgged determination; item 3, wretched room, just enough larger than the bed to hold a chair and table. Jane understood that these items were being entered ono by one in the doctors mind. She saw also that the account was against her. But she recognized that it hardly mat tered. She seemed to be incapable of any more feeling on the subject. Tho doctor took up his hat. She followed him to the door.
 "Well?" she said.
 "WeIl," he answered slowly, 'shc is worn out She cannot get well un- less''-he paused, aware of the mOckery of the words and anxious that they should not seem heartless-"u unless you can take her away at once to the cOun- try, where she can get plenty of air, fruit and ice. The heat will finish her in few days wish I could"- He broke off and looked at her. "I will do what I can. " He reached out his hand. She took it mechanically.
 The doctor went down stairs with his accustomed dull sense of impotence. He was young, poor and had wife and four children who were only too much in need of country air themselves. He could not rob them. Besides, there were so many cases like that up stairs. He felt that his sympathy was drying up like an Overused we'll.
 Jane went back into her room and sat down by the bed to fan. Her sister said nothing and showed no interest in the doctor or his visit. Her eyes still stared in front Of her as if she saw nothing. Jane sat about an hour, then kissing the sick girl on the forehead she left the room an walked rapidly from the house to the business part of the city. There she entered a large dry goods store and went to the office.

What Poets Owe to Cats.

Professor Marvin Clark, the blind au- thor, advances the curious theory that the smooth and liquid accents of our poets are derived from the varied yowls of cats. He asserts that cat language is much like the Chinese, "both being mu- sical, mellifluous and pleasing to the senses.
 In the Chinese language one word is made to mean several hundred different things, according as it is sung and in- 1ected. Likewise is it with cat Ian guage.
 Through this analogy the professor deduces the antiquity of the Chinese tongue and the feline origin of the sweet cadences of our poets.
 By thus exploring the back yards of history does Professor Clark find that to Thomas aTd Maria we owe GOO of our primitive "'mellihuous' words

There is an awful lot of humbug about this natural history study. " Why should the robbing of birds nests be encouraged on the simple statement that it is done for scientific purposes?
