The chairman of the house committee
on labor, a wealthy, conservative gen

a few days ago, in a serious conversa

go as they now are our republic would

The Pioneer and Old Reliable Hotel of

A- ♦
ADOBE BUILDINGS.
Architectural engineering is a branch
of the gentle art of making mud pies in
the land where the adobe houses grow.
In the land of sunshine, where a rainy
18 80 raro thut
is marked with a
red cross, the native contractor and
builder wastes no time figuring on the
strength of material, the crushing limit
of tubular columns and the wind prcs-
supe per square foot of elevation. He
does not pore over blue prints of plans,
cross sections and elevations, nor does
he whittlo down his figures to the finest
point so as to come under some other
contractor’s bid. He simply rolls his
trousers up above his knees, digs down
in a favored ditch or pond until he
strikes the “dobe mud,” and in a short
time he is ready to begin constructive
operations.
Adobe houses are brick houses, but
the brick is sun dried and made with
straw. The clay or mud of which the
brick is made is a natural cement pe
culiar to the arid plains of New Mexico,
Arizona, Nevada and that belt of states
and territories. It is turned out in the
most primitive manner, and the Blue
Island brickmaker who might happen
upon a half br^ed or Mexican ’dobe
brickmaker would view the operation
with amusement or disgust. Kiln burn
ed brick, made of blue clay, however,
would not meet the requirements im
posed by the climatic conditions of those
countries where adobe brick is used.
In summer an adobe house is cool; in
winter it is warm. Its thick walls ab
sorb the occasional rain, and, although
the sun dried brick is soft compared to
the kiln dried article, it does not crum
ble, and it stands for ageB.
A man who recently traveled through
New Mexico was much interested in the
’dobe houses. For weeks he inquired
and searched for a ’dobo house in the
hands of the builders. At length in
Santa Fe he stumbled upon a couple of
men stamping with their bare feet upon
clay in a wooden frame. He inquired
and found that he was looking upon two
Mexicans making adobe brick. In de
scribing the process he said:
“The men actually dug up the ’dobe
mud from the bottom of the ditch which
skirted the road. They mixed it, or, as
we say, ‘tempered’ it with water until
it was of a stiff, clayey consistency.
Then they chopped alfalfa hay into
short pieces and mixed it with the clay,
and their material was ready to moke
into brick. A wood frame lay on the
ground. This frame was filled with the
’dobo mud mixed with hay, and one of
the men got into the frame and stamped
the mud down with his bare feet, at
the same time tamping it with a stick.
After the framo was packed hard he
scraped the surplus mud off with a
stick, so that the top surface was level
with the upper edges of the frame, and
then lifting the frame from the clay he
carried the brick to one side of the road
and stood it on its edge. Tho next brick
he made he leaned against the first one,
and soon he had a dozen large bricks—
each twice as wide and long and thick
as an ordinary brick—drying in the
sun. One of the men told me that the
bricks would be ready to lay in threo or
four days, and that they used the mud
which tho bricks are made of for the
plaster.
“The walls of an adobe house are very
thick, sometimes two or three feet, and
in the ordinary one story adobe house,
which is characteristic of that region,
they are built up perfectly plain until
they reach the roof. The roof is support
ed on wooden beams, laid edgewise on
the walls, and the bricks are built up
level with tho top of the beams between
the timbers, leaving the edge of the
rafters exposed. The roof has a slight
slant, and is mado of adobo bricks.
When it rains, the water soaks into the
roof bricks, but does not begin to drip
down into the rooms below until the
rain is over. Then the family moves out
until tho water is through with its
dripping. I saw an adobe house in Santa
Fe which was built in the sixteenth
century, and, so far as I could see, the
walls were as strong and good as any
house around there.
“Walls are built of stone, plastered
with adobe cement, if I may so call it,
and such walls are strong and solid. 1
suppose if that country had half as much
rain as falls in Chicago tho ’dobe houses
would after a time crumble away, but
the average year in New Mexico is
made up of 187 days of unclouded sky,
139 days when sunshine predominates
and only 39 days of cloud, so that the
rainfall does not amount to much more
than a good sized fall of dew. ”
It is estimated that an adobe house
costs about $100 a room, but there are
mansions built of this material which
cost not less than $30,000 to construct
When the "Americans” settled in New
Mexico, Utah, Arizona, Nevada and the
lower part of California they accepted

Kentucky is Jinown as the Corn Crack

State, from the belt of land running
through the center in which this variety
of grass grows to great perfection. In
the early dr.ys of gut history it was
known as the Dark and Bloody Ground,
being so termed by the Indians. It was

Public Debt Figures.
Statistics prepared at the United
States treasury department show some
curious facts in regard to the national
debt The most curious fact of all per
haps is that we have already paid in
principal and interest the whole debt
1 8-5 times, counting the debt at its
highest point
It was not at its highest point imme
diately at the close of the war in 1865.
At that time no systematic provision
had been made for its rapid diminution,
and it grew till 1867, when it w«s in
round numbers $2,500,000,000. That
was its high water mark Then we be
gan to pay it We have kept up the in
terest on it and paid on the principal
besides $1,505,109,858. We began wip
ing out the principal in 1867, and that
year paid $84,000,000 of it, besides the
stupendous interest charge of $138,000,-
000. It was a great gratification to
honest minded General Grant after he
became president in 1868 that so much
of the debt was wiped out during his
two terms.
The highest amount paid in any one
year was in 1882, when the principal
was diminished by $175,000,000. The
debt reached itM lowest point in 1892,
when it was $585,029,880. Since then
it has been increased by $231,100,000,
arising from the bond sales to maintain
the gold supply.
Finally on that debt, amounting to
$2,500,000,000 in 1867, the people of
this country have already paid in prin
cipal and interest a sum slightly less
than $4,000,000,000.
Resuscitating the Drowning.
An important part of the instruction
now given in swimming schools deals
with the rescue and bringing to con
sciousness of those who are drowning.
The removal of clothing in the water is
a feat that swimmers are taught to ac
complish. Another achievement is that
of preventing a frantic individual who
is struggling in the water from grasping
his rescuer and so drowning both.
A correspondent of Tlio Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette says on this point:
In this case there is no way but to overpower
him first and then turn him over on his back,
so that his nose will stay out of water. The
rescuer then turns on his own buck, with his
left hand under the chin, holds the victim’s
head firmly on his own chest and swims ashore
thus with tlie use of both feet and one hand, t
The person in tho water can bo made “rea
sonable” either by being stunned by a blow
with the fist or by being ducked until he 1 b
half drowned and Insensible.
Tho methods of resuscitating half drownod
persons taught La the athletic clubs and in tbe
“first aid to the Injured” courses everywhere
aro pretty much the samo. Tho victim is first
turned on his face and drained of what water
will rim out of his noso and mouth. Then he
is turned on his back, his mouth pried open
and by a hasty sweep of the finger cleared of
the froth and slime in the throat. Tho chest
is then pressed to expel tho air; then tho arms
are pulled high above the head, when tho chest,
tho pressure being removed, again expands.
Tho arms are then brought down by the side
aad tho chest again coajpresscd. Repeating
these movements produces somewhat tho eft oct
of natural breathing. They arc combined with
rubbing, chafing and beating the 4 ly to re
store its natural warmth. Stimulants come
later.
Wonders can be dono in resuscitating the ap
parently drowned. There is one man alive in
New York today who was “drowned” two
weeks ago and actually taken to the morgue
for dead. There ho was discovered and re
vived.
