while the width from Mutton' May to the
mouth of Whale Hiver is but little under

It is ns long as the first Atlantic cable,
nnd nearly ns wide as the combined

Th Strung Location of the Pncblo of
Acoma In New Mexico.
The pueblo of Acoma, situated 00 miles
west of Albuquerque, is one of tho most
remarkable communities iu the world.
To roach it you take the Atlantic and
Pari fie Railroad to McCarthy's Slution,
nnd then transfer to a pony and ride 18
miles, south by east. AVhen near your
journey's end you descend almost imper
ceptibly into a valley six miles in width,
in the middle of which stands n huge,
mound, nnd on the top of this is Aeomn.
Kight hundred people aro living in this
place, and they and their ancestors have
gathered their possessions there fur nearly
three centuries.
This mound is one of many that are
tlm remain's of a range of hills which has
Won worn away by the erosion of the
nges, and survives only in tho flat topped
elevations hero nnd there. Tho valleys
between aro fertile, anil untold genera
tions of men have seen them covered
w ith grain nnd flocks of bhoep. Some
timo iu the 17th century the Lugunn or
Valley Indians made war upon the Aco
mas for possession of tho country, and
the latter, being the weaker, occupied
this mountain as a position believed tube
impregnable. The height alxive the val
leys is nearly 400 feet, and the walls in
several places neanly perpendicular.
There are two means of ascent. One
by a flight of steps cut into the face
of tho wall and rising at an angle
of 42 degrees, and the other by a
fissure in tiie rocks leading up into the
heart of the mountain. Both way have
been trodden by human feet until the
steiw are hollowed out like shallow
troughs. Either one is exceedingly dirll
cuit ; neither is tolerably safe. We thooso
the one along the fissure. With all the
danger and fatigue, it is a laughablo
sight to see a jierson some other make
the ascent. One lias to stride over the
fissure, ono foot on the right hand side
and the other nu the left, and at the same
time press the hands alternately against
the rocks for support. An Indian wilt
throw a live sheep around his neck and
go up quite rapidly without touching the
rocks with either hand, but I am satis
fiend I could never do it They told us of
a pathetic incident that occurred on the
outer stairway some generations ago.
Several men started up, each with a sheep
on his back. When nearly to the top the
sheep carried by the formost man be
camo restless, nnd the shepherd in trying
to hold it fast lost his fooling, and in fall
ing swept his companions over the preci
pice, and they all fell on the rocks iu a
lifeless Itcap. The Indians have carved a
representation of the incident on a . rock
near where it occurred, which scarcely
serves to steady the nerves of those who
go by that route.
The top of the elevation is level and
contains an area of 00 or 70 acres. At
one side stands the pueblo, a blunt pyra
mid of adobe and stone honeycombed
with rooms, nt the other the church and
graveyard, and near the center a pond of
pure water M feet in depth ana several
rods in extent. The priest was mado ac
quainted with tho' object of our visit, and
tho ringing of the church bull liroitgli:
the inhabitants of the village around us
Aa night approached a number of the
men who had been ut work in tho valley
came up, bringing delicious peaches and
grapes, which we were glad to accept.
We slept in tho church wrapped up in
our Navajo blankets, and never felt mure
sueuro or happier in our lives.
When the dawn appeared through the
little mica window panes it revealed
great roof beams more than a foot in
diameter and 30 or 40 feet long, and n
liell that was cast in 1710. How these
immense timbers and this boll were got
up to the top of this clilt no one living
knows. The Iudians shake their heads
nnd the priest shnkes his, but no one
ventures an opinion. Tho timbers aro
there, however, as witnessed; and morn
ing and night, ns the seasons come and
go and generations pa.- away, the bell
speaks for itself in the silvery tones that
pleased its founder in far off Spain, when
King George was on the throne. . The
adobes or the earth of which they were
ninde wero brought up from the valley
also, for the top of the but to was a bald
rock in the beginning. And, the earth

woman to turn, and 35 is still harder.
bhe lcels that she is last leaving her
youth behind her. But there is no rea
son why a woman should be faded and
passe at 35, or even at 45. The chief
cause of early fading of American wo
men is found in the fact that many of
them sutler from some form of fe na'e
weakness or disease which robs the
face of its bloom, draws dark circles
about the eyes, brings ea-ly wrhkles
and sallowness, and stamps the face
