walls stretching phantom-like across the
dark interior of the caves.
The apartments in fair state of
preservation, though several of the walls
have fallen. When first discovered, some ten
years ago, thirty-seven separate apartments
were grouped about the entrance of one
of the caverns. These varied from three to
seven feet in width and from five to ten feet
in length. They were from four to six feet
from floor to ceiling. Several of these rooms
were constructed one above another. where
the height of the ledge permitted, the cell
ing of the lower forming the floor of the
one just above.
The walls were constructed of juniper
poles set side by side. These were encased
on both sides in thick coat of plaster made
from soft light colored rock found in the
cave and pulverized for the purpose. No
ak or hammer or saw was used in building
these walls The poles were shortened 70
Cross pieces are dashed to corner poles,
upon which TO lay the floor and ceiling.
These were made by covering the beams
with kind of strong reed
1t cannot be said that these rooms are
built on sanitary principles. They had no
ventilation except as the air could enter or
escape through the small doors. The walls
OF several of the rooms were penetrated by
a few small round holes which aided in
ventilation. There were no chimneys. The
inner walls of few of the rooms We're

tive plan IN the kitchen back under a shelv-
ing rock Here were pieces of pottery, also
ground their corn. are still lying around
Back in the interior of the caves we found
some coHs. showing that eight rows of
grains had grown upon them and the length
indicated that a fair quality of corn must
have been produced.
THEY WERE LITTLE MEN.
These forgotten people probably were
not large. The doors are no more than
three feet high, with q width at the bot
tom of about two feet. a small cut was
sunk into the base six inches wide and eight
inches deep, through which the feet might
pass
They were prepared for war. Small port
holes opened through the wall facing the
approach through which arrows could be
shot at any advancing enemy. They were
also prepared for a siege There was a
large water basin, oval i'm shape, con-
Structed among one group of rooms. Their
grain stored in the caves These fra
gile walls, however, could not have re-
sisted an attack of heavy artillery. a
few shots would have shattered them into
dust
How these people came to an end no one
has yet told us except by way of theory.
Some believe they were eXterminated by
a superior enemy, others say they were
brought to an end by volcanic eruptiOns
similar TO that at Martinique. The build
ers of these homes were evidently the same
race of cliff jewellers that formerly in
habited Arizona. New Mexico and south

climatic conditions in northern Mexico are
very similar to those found in these States.
There must have been millions of cliff
jewellers who once inhabited these regions"
says DR.. Henry Mason Baum, the emil
nent arcnaeologist, who recently visited
tOric Southwest. He states that he him
self saw enough dwellings to have sheltered
two millions of people. His conclusion is
that the entire race was completely wiped
out by some mighty seismic disturbance or
lava inundation more than a thousand
years ago.
Nothing remains of the prehistoric homes
in the valleys in Mexico but mounds of
crumbling earth. They can be found wher-
abundance of water. Some of the largest
of these ruins are found on the upland just
south of this old Mexican town. In fact
both the town and river flowing by il take
their names from the presence of these
ruins, meaning ''large houses"
Several of these buildings must have been
enormous structures. 1 found the outer
walls of one measuring 400 feet in length
and $50 feet in width. 1t was joined by an
arcade to another building almost equally
as large. Nothing remains to indicate their
height, as no portion of the remaining
jagged walls is now more than ten feet
high.
They were probably structures similar to
the big Casa Grande ruin in Arizona, and
built by the same race of people. The pot
terry, skulls and stone implements found in
in the old ruins in Arizona and New Mexico.
DR.. Baum is also OF the opinion that the
cliff jewellers and those who dwelt in the
valleys were contemporaneous and related;
in fact, the same people. JESSE HUBER.

The architect, in preparing the plans for
a new residence, lays the basis for the
decorators subsequent work The latter
merely follows the lines laid down by the
architect. If the plans indicate room of
simple colonial structure, the decorations
must be simple to be in good taste. If.
on the other hand an elaborate Louis XIV
or Louis XIV interior is shown, the furnish
ings should be rich and in accordance with
these French periods. The cost of furnish
ing the interior of a residence should de-
pend upon the cost of the exterior.
This does not mean that the interior should
suffer on account of the exterior. The best
experience has shown that the cost of the
exterior and interior should be equal.

ture of modern residence, decorated on
artistic lines.

Grandes) were once inhabited by
ISEISll a prehistoric race. The ruins of
- their homes can still be seen;
their primitive utensils unearthed and the
sites of their dams and irrigation bitches
traced. But the people themselves passed
into the shades of Oblivion even before
chronicler could record with accuracy any
details of their existence.
Learning of strange homes of a vanished
race among the cliffs of the Sierra Madre
mountains l set out on horseback to take
a peep into some of them. Following trail
into the very heart of the range, l
descended into a rocky canyon whose
waters drain into the Yaqui river
All along the trail could see low dams
which these people had built across the
bottom of the canyons. These dams were
constructed of powders nicely fitted to-
gether and many of them in a good state of
preservation. Some of these are four feet
high and into them immense rocks had been
fitted. The dams were thrown across the
ravine, one back of the other in succession
almost to the top of the mountain. They
were intended to catch the soil 1t washed
down and so form little patches of ground
on which TO grow grain and vegetables.
l.
populated, for, wherever one goes, he finds
that garden spots had been formed just
back of these stone walls. Great pine trees
have grown Up in several places showing
that the cultivation of the soil must have
been abandoned long years ago.
Following the great canyon we came to
a lesser canyon which led down from the
left. Ascending this some distance we
came into the very presence of several
groups of deserted homes of these prehis-
toric people. The surroundings were i'm
pressive. The narrow ravine had widened
out into a beautiful dale, covered with
grass and thinly set with low branching
trees. The crystal waters of mountain
stream were murmuring and dashing along
its rock bound course. On all sides the
grassy, precipitous slopes of mountains
rose to dizzy heights; while over all ex-
tended the cloudless blue of heaven
through which the monday sun was send
ing its plenteous flood of golden light.
Here in this sublime and almost mac
cessble retreat these unknown people had
built their homes. Here they lived and
labored and then persisted from the face
of the earth. Who were they? They left
no records to acquaint us with their ex-
istence. The voices once heard within
those homes have been stilled forever. The
busy feet of the thousands that wandered
over these mountains and found rest in
those habitations have departed. Whence
| who knows? How long since who can tell
We must be content with what can be
gathered of their history from the ruins
| of their works.

PhiladeIphia's FavOrite Winter Dish.

LtSiit w tfhiys
Philadelphia is the only city that makes
scrapple, and the Philadelphia scrapple in
dustry, which begins in September and
ends in April, is now at its height. The
factories are turning out 100000 pounds a
week, and the Pennsylvania farmers are
adding thousands of pounds more to this
great mass. In every Philadelphia res
taurant scrapple is the favorite breakfast
dish and there is no food product so largely
exported at this time. The following are
the ingredients that enter into the delect-
able compound:
Hogs head, hogs liver, Indian meal.
buckwheat, rye flour. spring water. salt
and pepper, marjoram, thyme, sage, parsley,
allspice.
ScrappIe comes in oblong tin cases that
are about eighteen inches long and twelve
inches wide and six inches deep. IL is pale
brown in color, with black, rich-looking
morsels-peces of choice meat-scattered
through ID in profusion. IL comes out OF
the tin whole, like a mold of ice-cream,
and II is of the thickness of ice-cream that
has been very firmly frozen. To prepise
itsfor the table is quick and simple mat
ter. You merely cut of thin slices and fry
them in their own tat over a hot fire.

when taken as soon as cold is con-

BLOOD WILL TELL.

It takes lots of vitality, nervous force and
strength to win a race. Blood must be
pure and good.
Without good red blood a man has a
weak heart and poor nerves. Thinness Of
the blood, or anelnia is common in men
and young women, and all those who work
indoors, who do not get enough good OK
ygen in their lungs, consequently have too
many white blood corpuscles.

strong, the head cool, the stomach vigorous,
the liver active with a tonic which has
stood the test of time and has a wide repu-
tation such as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery.
Tonics consisting of large portions of
alcohol, iron or cod liver oil, do not bring
the desired changes in the blood, because
they do not enter the system and are not
absorbed into the blood, with the excep-
ton of the alcohol which shrivels up the
red blood corpuscles when it does come in
contact with them. Therefore do not allow
