Relics of Cliff pwelIers.

Recently discovery was made by
forest rangers of an unexplored ruin
of the ancient cliff dwellers in the
Mesa Verde park, and subsequent de-
velopments have proved that it is both
extensive and interesting. A long
ladder was constructed and swung
over the face Of the cliff at height
of 600 feet from the bottom of the
canyon. The ruins contained 25 rooms,
but no kiva, or large ceremonial cham
Der, such as is usually found in SINH
lar ruins. The rangers in a brief and
cursory exploration of the ruins found
in plain sight ten stone axes, fourteen
large stone jars, each eighteen inches
high and three feet, six inches in cir
cumference, two small jars, two parts
of woven baskets, one wooden slab
five inches wide, twelve inches long
and one-half Inch thick, curved up at
the sides; several pieces Of yucca
rope, one piece spliced with sinew,
one piece Of woven yucca fiber and
several human bones.

Not for Practical Use.

Congressman William G. Sharp,
when the conversation turned to the
practical use of things, said he was
reminded of an incident that hap
pened in the West.
Some time ago young colored man
was picked up by policeman and
taken to the city lookup. Eventually
he appeared before the committing
magistrate.
Young man." sternly remarked the
magistrate in opening the case, "you
are charged with carrying a razor.
What have you got to say for your
self"
"Dat am berry true, boss" earnest
ly protested the defendant, "but dat
razah am safety razah.'
"Well," impatiently demanded the
magistrate, what has that got to do
with it,"
cit am dis way, yo' honah," ex-
planned the colored party. "A safety
razah am only carried TO- de moral
effec'."

SUFFERER is TO BE PITIED
Nervousness and Inability to Put
Thoughts Quickly Into Speech
Responsible for Habit.

Nervousness and inability to put the
thoughts quickly enough into speech
are largely responsible for the stutter-
ing habit and any child who shows a
tendency to stutter should be dealt
with patiently in order to discover
whether it is merely habit to be
overcome or a more serious aff1iction,
due to lack Of coordination between
the muscles of the diaphragm and
ribs where one is trying to breathe
while others are endeavoring to arti-
culate.
Teach a child to enunciate slowly
and to think what he wants to say be-
fore he tries to say it. Do not startle
him by ridicule or sudden Interrupt
tion. Make him start fresh when he
gets twisted up and frightened at his
inability to get out what he is trying
to say The knowledge that one has
difficulty in pronouncing certain words
often produces the very suffering
that one tries to avoid.
It is tremendous modification to a
child and serious drawback in every
profession in later life, SO that the
confirmed stutterer is as much to be
pitied as any other sufferer from in
trinity, for it really is that. 1t usu-
ally develops in early childhood, prob
ably from some nervous shock or fear
when the youngster is in run down
condition

MAKE CANDY AT HOME
CHEAPER AND GENERALLY BET.
TER THAN CAN BE BOUGHT.
Suggestions Here That Are Well
Worth Making Note Of - Dipped
Chocolates Among the Best
Various Ways to Prepare.

Homemade candies are cheaper
than those one buys in che shops. OF
course, dipped chocolates made at
home cost good deal, but even they
do not cost as much as good choco-
lates from the shops. And homemade
peanut brittle is as much cheaper, rel.
atively, than homemade dipped choco.
lates as "storemade" peanut brittle is
cheaper than good chocolates.
An inexpensive and delicious sort
of peanut brittle is made from shelled
peanuts and granulated sugar. Spread
the peanuts, shelled and skinned and
broken in halves, in buttered pans
Melt granulated sugar and cook it un
til it turns brown, but do not let it
burn. AS soon as it is all brown, but
before any of it has begun to burn
pour it over the nuts. A few drops OF
vinegar may be added just before re-
moving the sugar from the fire.
Dipped chocolates are most easily
made with an uncooked foundation
Break the white of an egg in big
bowl and add to it three tablespoon
fuls of cream. Mix little and add a
pinch Of cream tartar and confection
ers' sugar enough to make stiff

cacao Used as Currency.

Cacao passed as currency among
the natives of Central and South
America at the time of the European
conquest, and that despite plentiful
supply of gold. Joseph Acosta, in
1910, tells us the Indians used none
Of their gold or silver for traffic in
or buy withall, and unto this day the
custom continues among them that
instead of money they use cacao."
The Aztecs Of ancient Mexico also
used "cacao" as small change, as
many as 5000 beans being counted
legal tender. The value of the beans
may be judged from the fact that "a
tolerably good slave" could be pur-
chased for 100 Of them.-Londop

Admiral Peary's Lucky Number.

Admiral Peary's Lucky Number.
Even so practical a man as Admiral
Peary has his little superstition and
is not ashamed to confess it. Talk
ing at a dinner in his honor, held in
Washington the other night, he called
attention to the fact that six is his
lucky number. He was born on the
sixth of May; the ship in which he
reached "farthest north" prior to the
discovery of the pole left land on the
sixth of March: the Roosevelt, on its
voyage that achieved the coveted
goal, sailed from New York on the
sixth of July; the pole was reached
on the sixth of April, and the wireless
message from the Labrador coast an
nouncing the discovery was flashed
on the sixth of September. We hope
six has not lost it's charm for the ad-
miral, and that in years to come 1T
will bring him further successes and
renown.

SPAIN. old Order Changeth.


The Cafe Fornos is no more. It
closed It's doors recently and forever.
For those who know Madrid this Is
interesting news, as the Cafe Fornos
was not only the best establishment Of
Its kind, but the rendezvous Of all we'll
known people, from society leaders to
politicians, journalists and tourists.
It was opened about 1870 in the Gale
Alcala, the Paris edition of the New
York Herald says. Soon afterward
calle Sevilla was widened and Fornos'
corner became the center of Madrid
life. AS Ell impartial says, politicians,
litterateurs and newspaper correspond
ents soon made of Fornos their home.
The cafe was a continuation Of the
congress lobby, of the theater foyer,
of the ministers parlor, of every place
where Madrid gossips. King Amadeo
used to frequent the place. which is
connected with many an anecdote con-
corning important events In the politi-
cal history of Spain.
Since Madrid changed It's habits and
is less out of doors at night, Fornos
lost much of it's clientele. Moreover.
the rent of the place had been in
creased 22,500 pesetas per annum.
These are the causes of the decision
which deprives Madrid Of one of its
most picturesque sights at night.
