DUST FOR JlAXY AGES.
The Industrious Cliff-Dwellers of
8outhern Colorado.
IMlfea of m JPewenil Kan of Men Fotls4
Among th Wind-Worn Caws of
. Kutoim County. Col. Why
They Booatuo Extinct
Theuchnologista of Denver should be
happy. Almost at their very door they ou
bow teethe akullB and handiwork of men
and womeD of pre-historic time. The oavea
of the cliff-dwellers on the HanoM, of
Southern Colorado, have been onoe mora
entered by vandals, bat this Ume oniy ruin
and the duat of departed centuries were to
he found. '
The existence of these eaves has lonff
oeen mown, out no toorouirh examination.
was ever made until a lew months am.
when Charles HuLoyd, a prospector and
minerof the Ban Juan, and four companions
concluded that it would bo at least a lark to
look into the abandoned dwelling. A writer
in the Denver Republican describes the re
sult of their investigations. No definite
idea or securing a collection was thought of,
but after wandering irom one ruin to an
other on the top of the cliffs, and where the
land could be made fertile, they commenced
exploring the caves. Among the first
entered little ot interest was to be found.
but they finally came to a place that was al
most inaccessible. On the mesa above a
large reservoir was to be seen, and it is the
opinion of the explorers that this great
tract of ground was once tilled by the peo
ple who lived in the eaves below. But now
pinon trees of great age are standing on all
sides, and how many of them have sprung
up, lived their days, decayed and then have
been succeeded by others, no man living to
day knows it may have been hundreds, it
may have been thousands of years ago.
Mr. McLoyd says that the dwellings in
Montexana County were found on the aides
of walls of the canyon of of the Manoos and
its tributaries in wind-worn oaves or crev
ices oaused by falling water, and were so
completely protected from the elements
that many of their effects were found in a
perfect state of preservation. As a rule,
these caves are m almost 'inaccessible
places. When inhabited they were reached
quite frequently by notches cut in the rock,
and atotber times rope ladders must have
been used.
Quite a number of the houses found wen
of pretentious dimensions, the largest being
a building on the ground floor of which are
1 12 rooms, and 300 in the upper stories. . This
building was four stories in height with a
. tower, and was built of dressed stone and a
cement made of the surrounding soil
mixed with a substance now unknown, and
the architecture now would be called that
; of the Koman period.
The race which inhabited it is thought to
havebeenreiatedtotheZuni8,Mo)ui8 and
Pueblos, and it is supposed was ilhe an-1
oestorsof those tribes. This, however, is.
simpiy supposition, and is uasedon the for
mation of the skulls and the relics of differ
ent lands left.
Therace,aa!ordingtotlietheoryadvanced
by the Smithsonian Institute, existed about
ten thousand years ago. This theory is
based upon the idea that the peopie lived
and farmed on the banks of the Bait river be
fore the bed of that stream was changed
and the finding of trees and fungi in the
ruins. . . -
Theadjouiing natives, the HarajoSV are
the only race that have any tradition con
cerning these people, and theirs is that the
cuff -dwellers became extinct bv being ant
, come by numbers, ana, preiernng death by
. drowning rather than at the handsqof -the
enemy, jumped into the water below their
homes, and, instead of drowning became
fish. The cliff-dwellers were a quiet, -inoffensive
race, judging from the lack of in
struments of war and the many articles
that were used in' their crude method of
fanning. V ' . . t
PhrenologicaUy speaking, they weire quiet
and peaceable, the back part of theskull be;
ing very flat and of ten depressed, jwhiie the'
front part was well formed and denote!
some intelligence. . . . i ,
Among the skulls iri the collection isone
that consists of one piece only, and shows
n o trace of a seam between tiro three parts,'
as is usual in the human skull. The bones'
found would indicate that tbey were a peo
ple of medium height and well formed, hav
ing smalt hands and feet, the hair black and
fliier in texture than thatof any known race
. of savages. There is no sign of any domes
ticated animal or fowl with the exception
of the turkey ; it was utilized in many ways,
specimens of dust brushes, bone needles,
etc., having been found. The agricultural
. products foundconsistedof corn, beans and
pumpkins, for articles of food, and the
yucca for that of clothing. Their textile
fabrics consisted of mats and cloths made of
cord of the yucca plant interwoven with
the down from the turkey -or fur of some
animal, and is soft and flexible. It was used
evidently only in the burying of their dead,
who were wrapped in this cloth.
There were discovered near the cities of
these people large reservoirs for holding the
water that came down f ram the mountains.
These reservoirs were made with stone
. walls. There is one still perfect, it being
situated on top of the(mesa verdi'vorfoot
hills, and is 150 feet in diameter, walled
- with double walls and contains from ten to
ilfteen feetof water. All their farming was
carried on in the valleys above the canyons
and was accomplished by hard labor and
with the crudest of implements, -nothing
having been found of this nature except a
sharp-pointed stick of hard wood, which
was used to tear up the ground for plan ting.
Their household utensils consisted of
pottery jars and casks made of fiber and
covered withtt .substance resemblingmod.
ern varnish 'Both were made in coils and
are light in weight and of course very dura
ble. Their knives were made from the bones
of the deer, highly polished and very sharp.
There is nothing to indicate that they were
acquainted in , any respect with the uses of
any kind of metal. They used both wood
and coal for heating and cooking purposes,
and had their fireplaces just outside the
door in the same mannertuat the Mexicans
do to-day. The sandals used, unlike those
worn by savage tribes of the present,
wero mado of vegetable fibers aud not of
ltins, and there is nothing to show, that the
Hiff dwellers were in any way proficient in
iboertof hunting, as only arrows of harti
-wood and cane are found, and they could
not be used in killing large gamo, being of
so fragile a nature. They had but few or
naments, which were made mostly of tur
key bones aud nuts resembling the hickory
'. and "f which no other specimens are
extant. There are,nowever, a lew made'
of csunel coal, inlaid with ivory of some
- kind.
This race was one evidently that on so
count of their peaceful natures were driven
Irom place to place in the valley, and finally
uk refuge and built homes in these almost
inaccessible places, and were at last over-
c:i"o aud perished in defense of their
l.mies, as the unfinished walls found indt-t-v'o

NEW CURE FOR LA GRIPPE.
The EfflMt en m Boston llrammsr of tlH
Woman with the Yardstick.
I have read with somo interest .the
different methods of curing diseases,
some by regular physicians of the allo
pathic, others of the homeopathic and
others of the mind school, but I ban
bear all this by an experience I went
through about a year ago in Columbus,
Oa., says a writer in the Boston Ulobe.
1 was there canvassing for a New
York publishing house. With all the
rest of mankind I had la grippe. ' '
I left Atlanta, Ga., at noon, Jan. IS,
1890, and arrived in Columbus, Oa -toward
evening:. iFeeling the effects of
the malady .come on, I . took about
twenty grains of quinine during the
day, and toward evening I was fairly
crated with the drug.
On arriving at Columbus I went to
the boarding-house of Mrs, , a kind
hearted old woman, full of southern
hospitality but not quite as bright as
the average Boston girl. I told the
good woman that I felt very ill and
asked her to do for me what she ' could.
She assigned me to a room and 1 re
tired at once. She brought me a quart
pitcher full of sage tea, and in a short"
time I perspired freely. Yet my breath
seemed to get short all the time; and I
became thoroughly alarmed. There I
was, far away from friends and ac
quaintances, with no , one,: 'but 'this
strange woman near me, -
I raised myself half up in bed'Jtnd
with faltering voice said: "Mrs. , I
think I am going to die thievery night,
nil I want to ask a favor of you; in
.-use 1 should be taken away please do
not send me to the public morgue. ' Oo
to an undertaker, buy me a cheap 'cof
fin and keep me here until some of my
friends come. Here is my pocketbook
and the address of my family." i '
The woman looked at me pitifully,
nodded her bead, and then left me, as I
thought, for the night
In about thirty' minutes, however, Bhe
returned with a yardstick in her hand,
saying: "I wentacross the street to:Mr.
Watkins'. I told him you were a. little
cripple, likely to die, and you wanted a
coffin. He said if you would take one
without paint, and if he could squeeze
yon into a boy's size, he would let you
have one for six dollars.'
With that she laid the yardstick on
and remarked: "It will take five feet
two inches."
What the sage tea had not brought
ut faith or yardstick cure did. I never
.wanted so in ull my life. I saw eter
nity in all its ghastly uncertainty,' and
I truly believe that this was the .crisis
in my sickness.
In about three days I was up again,
and the only man that felt sorely disap
pointed was Mr. Watkins because he
could not squeeze me into that "boy's
size, without paint, forsix dollars." This
was the way I was cured of la grippe.
VICTORIA'S CROWN.
It Is 1Mb -a Million mat a- Ball of
Dollars.
The crown worn by Victoria weighs
nearly two pounds, says the Pittsburgh
Dispatch. It .comprises more than
MOO precious atones set in various de
signs. The most prominent gem is the
ruby given ; to Jv.hiarii. the Mack
prince, by Pedro, king of Castile. t It
is in the, front of the crown, set id a
rilalte'&e cross composed of seventy-five
large diamonds. - The lower part of
the crown bend gontuins-ft row of 128
pearls, the upper part 112. ;llctween
them and in front is a large$apphire.
Hack of that again is a smulier sap
phire, surrounded by; six sthenic and
eight emeralds. v'-Between'-'the two
larger sapphires are designs contain
ing 266 diamonds. . Alwvt the band-are
M;;ht more sapphires surmounted by
oiirlit diamonds, and the same number
if festoons contain 160 diamonds. He--dilcsthe
Maltese cross there are three
others around the upper part of the
cron containing 3S0 diamonds, and
between the four are four ornaments,
each with a ruby in the center and
containing respectively 84, W, 86 aud
87 diamonds. From the crosses rise
four arches composed of cal; lcavcti and
acorns, the leaves containing 728 dia
monds. The' thirty-two acorns are
each of a single pearl, and are set in
eups made of fifty-four diamonds.
Above the arches stands the mound,
containing 558 diamonds, and above
the mound is the cross, containing a
very largo sapphire, four very large
and 108 smaller .diamond;, 1AU the
stones arc genuine, and not. ji Jin some
