soya: pyramids lrt the
United States? Yes. two of them.
They are built of mud and Inhabited.
One 'has six etorles and the other Ave,
nnd both have many rooms. The in
habitants have two names, two re
ligions and two languages. They are
Christians and pagans ot the same
time Catholics and sun worshippers.
They have one church above ground
nnd sevoral worshipping places below
ground. They nre citizens of the
United States, but neither vote nor
pay taxes. They have a republic o
their own and never carry their Inter
nal disputes outside their own primi
tive court. They owned their little
domain of six miles square long be
fore the United States camo Into exist
ence, and they lease farms to the de
scondents of haughty lSuropermo,
They nro the real HrFt families of the
country, for their forefathers were liv
ing In theso tramo pyramids when
civilization discovered them 250 years
ago. They aro aborigines but far
mers. They are scml-clvlllzed, but
they punish with the stocks and the
whipping post, and until recently
Htoned witches to death.
In many things this ifiwarlcaible
people reverses the white man's or
der. The children trace their de
scent through tho mother Instead of
the father. Tho wife owns the
house and all Its contents. Fires
for baking aro built In tho oven In
stead of under It. In tho fireplaces
the wood Is burned standing on end.
Tho peoplo go Into their houses
through tho roofs, pulllnp up behind
them the ladder used In mounting tho
building, thus very nearly accom
plishing the feat of going into a hole
and pulling It In after them.
Tho pyramids of the American
Egypt are tucked away In a little val
ley among the Rocky Mountains of
.northern Now Mexico. A few years
ago they were 1,000 miles from, a
railroad. Today one can get within
thlrty-llvo miles of them by rail by go
ing north from, Santa Fo to Ernbudo,
but after that the rugged canon of
the Rio Grande del Norte and brown,
waterless. Interminable mesas make
the approach a trying Journey of dust,
Jolts and weariness.
JUAN MIRABAL-.
Fortunate is tho visitor who has
Juan Mlrabal for a host, Juan has
acquired a fair grasp of English, much
of It by painstaking inquiry of white
visitors and neighbors. Ho has lo3t
mpst of thaitl reserve so common
among tho Indians, which bailies the
investigator by a, real or assumed
misunderstanding of his wants, and he
talks frankly of his people and their
peculiarities. Ho will even go so far
as to put tho sounds of their songs
Into English letters, though the effort
is slow and painful. Juan and his
father, for they live together, have a
good farm and aro well to do. Juan's
four fine guns aro evident of that.
The Mlrabal home Is of mud with a
dirt lloor, but It has several rooms
with white-washed walls and boasts
of somo comforts of the white man.
There Is an American bedstead with
b hoots and covers, but It seems to bo
too precious for use even for the or
dinary guest. Tho members of the
family have raised 'platforms for sleep
ing places and skins and blankets for
cover. The visitor with experience
of life In remote New Mexico and fair
ly reasonable will have little cause for
complaint, however, for Juan has In
reserve for him an Amerlcan-mado
cot with a springy bed and plenty of
red blankets. Neither Juan's pretty
wlfo nor his fathdror mother nor his
white-haired grandmother rounding
her first century and still ngllo
enough to climb the ladders has any
knowledge of English, but they are
proud to entertain American visitors
and their faces beam with friendly
hospitality.
The cooking is done over a fire
built on tho dirt floor In ono corner
of a blc room, which has a bed of
skins In another corner, perhaps a
pile of wheat in a third and openings
to other rooms In the fourth, and a
ladder to the roof intrance. Holes a
foot square in tho walls near the
ceilings give the smoke vent and ad
mit nlr, but there are no windows to
admit light, and all tho sunshine
these queer abodes get is what little
can squeeze Its way through the roof
holes. But Jjsan Is rising above his
surroundings, and In the room with
the .preolouB bed aro an American
table and several ohalrs. Sheep are
plenty and cheap In the southwest, and
sheep's meat is the staple food meat.
There Is so little discrimination In
selection that it seldom rises to the
dignity of being mutton.
SIMPLE FARE.
But Juan does better than many of
tho -white Inhabitants In honor of his
guest, for he sets before tho visitor
butter and cakes brought from tho
nearest town, and his wlfo brews an
excellent cup of coffee. To these aro
added sugar -Imported by wagon over
tho mountains and home-made bread
or tortillas baked In tho strange ovens
out of doors. The oven resembles an
overturned bushel basket with a
whole In one side, and It Is made of
mud. A fire Is built inside until tho
mud floor la thoroughly heated, when
the flte Is raked out, tho lloor mopped
clean and tho big disks of dough
ehoved In on wooden paddles to bako
by the heat radiated from the bottom,
and sides of the oven. Barring an
absence of salt, tho bread is good, and
the meal set forth by Juan for his
guest In luxury compared with the
faro ono will get from many of the
whites similarly isolated.
.The American pyramids aro known
as El Pueblo do Taos. It is the north
ernmost settlement of that strange
race which has left tho American
Egypt strewn with tho ruins of an
cient cities. Its people, according to
tho best authorities, aro descendants
of tho cliff dwellers, and the pyramidal
form of their community houses was
another device to protect themselves
from their hereditary enemies, the
Apaches, the Navajoes and the Utcs.
A captain under Coronado, who came
up from Mexico in search of the fab
led seven cities of Cibola, whoso people
eto from, golden dishes, discovered
those pyramids in 1510, and they stand
today Just ns ho described them,
though one-story dwellings have
sprung up about tho foot of tho pyra
mids slnco the American occupation
assured peace. Th.e larger building
lM ninety-seven rooms and the small-
or seventy-two. The. Inhabitants num
ber about 400
Tha walls of these community
houses aro mado of mud bricks dried
In tho sun. The front wall of tho
second story was built back from the
front; of tho tlrst story, mnklng a
broad terrace. Tho succeeding
stories were constructed in similar
manner, and as all four sides of the
building were terraced the structure
became a pyramid. Tho roofs were
formed by laying eappllngs across the
walls and covering them with mud.
Until recently there were neither
doors nor windows In any of tho walls,
and even now there are very few. The
people climb up to tho outside on rude
ladders, which, may be pulled up af
ter thorn If danager threatens, and
they enter their homes through
holes In tho roofs. Many of the dark
looms near tho center of tho pyra
mids aro In decay, nnd others nre
used for storing grain. Some of tho
living-rooms aro whitewashed. Fire
places aro made by constructing a
mud hood across a corner with a mud
Hue running to the roof, and plnyon
and cedcr brought from the mountains
aro burned standing on end In the cor
ner. The broad terraces are the play
ground of tho children and the loung
ing place of tho "old folks."
When discovered by tho Spanish
conqulstadores theso peoplo were not
only peaceful farmers, but they wore
cotton clothing brought from their
couslna In the warmer lowlands far
ther south, as well as the sklno ot wild
animals. Today the men wear In sum
mer cotton leggings held up by a
string about the lions and a print
shirt falling loosely outsldo the leg
gings. In cold weather they add moc
casins and blankets. The women wear
a skirt of colored cotton, and the
waist Is a piece of cloth wound around
under the left arm. For gala attire
they have gayly flowered clothing with
a silk shawl for tho head and white
buckskin mocoaslons with leggings
wrapped about the legia until they
are nearly as big as stove pipes.
TWO RELIGIONS.
The good paders who came Into tho
wonderland of tho southwest with
tho Spanish explorers and conquerors
grafted the Christian faith on the pa
gan religion, and the world is pre
sented with tho strange spectacle of
a Pieople with two rellglonr, both
carefully observed and held In rever
ence. There Is a little Catholic church
In which faithful priests have taught
Christian doctrines for many genera
tions and brought the simple natives
to such an understanding that they
resent nny ln'ttrference wlth their
Christian rites. At the same time they
continue their pagan ceremonies in se
cretexcept their" nnnual sun dance.
They, have several covered holes In
tho ground, each perhap3 twenty-five
feet in diameter and fifteen feet deep.
They aro known' as estufas. Here
tho pagan priests perform the mystic
rites of their sun worship, and no
white man is permitted to witness
them. These peoplo also have organ
izations corresponding to tho secret
societies of civilized communities,
whose members meet and louniro In
tho estufas, and women aro seldom or
never allowed to enter them. The
entrance to these places is by a ladder
through the roof. A hollow in the
middle of the lloor serves for a fire
place. At the bottom of the wall en
ter small shafts, which permit cold
air to come in from the outside. The
heated air from the fire files out at tho
opening above, and thus thl3 primi
tive people solved tho problem of ven
tilation centuries before civilized man
groped his way out of tho darkness
of anltary error. Tho feather Is, a
symbol of prayer with the pyramid
dwellers. They tie the downy feather
of an eagle to a twig, stick it in the
ground In an out of the way place
where it Is not likely to be disturbed
and so long as it remains there It is
a prayer constantly going up to the
Trues above.
THANKSGIVING DAY OF THE SUN.
The event of the year In the pagan
religion is the thanksgiving day of the
sun worshippers. Th Christian
priests have Inaugurated the day
with a service at tho church and they
have stamped the fiesta with the name
of the Catholic saint selected by their
forerunners as the patron saint of the
community. Tho fiesta is therefore
known as San Geronlmo (Saint Jer
ome) Day, and the images from tho
pagan pdrformiainces. from ai bower.
All but the church service is a su
vlval of the pagan era.
Offerings of sheep, grain and fruits
are hung up on a polo In thanksgiving
to the sun for warm weather and
good crops, and the sun father is
pretty sure to be smiling on his wor
shippers. There is a queer sun dance,
In which the naked men, with bo
dies painted and decked with feathers,
chant praises to tho sun. Then fol
lows a race between the young men,
lasting perhaps two hours, In which
tho contestants run back and forth In
relays. After dinner tho chlfonetls,
priests of the sun, with bodies striped
In black and white, like zebras, amuse
tho peoplo with such buffoonery ns
may be suggested by the occasion,
much the same as the clown of a cir
cus, making faces, cracking Jokes and
making elaborate attempts at various
feats, only to fall. This is tho one
occasion of the year when Apaches,
Utes and Navajoes aro permitted to
pitch camp on the reservation, and
somo of these wild tribes are sure to
bo present to get a share of the good
things given away. The antipathy to
the Mexicans Is forgotten, and Ameri
cans aro prized as guests of honor.
STRANGE CUSTOMS.
The subject races early learned the
Spanish language from their con
querors, and for 200 years or more It
has been the common tongue of the
southwestern peoples speaking various
languages. Even Americans In many
parts of the southwest are forced to
learn it in order to facilitate their
affairs. The work of tho Catholic
church and the tenacity of the Mexi
cans have kept! tho Castllllan pre
dominant oven under American rule.
The pyramid dwellers, therefore,
learn Spanish for communication
with the outside world and retain
their own ancient tongue for home
life. Few of them, know any English.
Every new born babe is baptized by
the Catholic pret and christened
with a Spanish name, except In a
few cases In which French priests,
who have been brought in by the pres
ent archbishop, havo given French
names. But the pagan shnman also
christens tho babe. Facing the cast
In tho morning twilight, he awaits
tho moment when tho sun shall peep
over tho Taos Mountains, towering
13,000 feet nbovo the sea, when he be
stows on tho infant a natlvo namo
by which ho is known among his Inti
mates. Theso people nro divided Into
clans designated as eagle, corn, etc.,
and members of the samo clan are
not permitted to lnter-marry. The
Holds nnd tho products of tho chase
belong to the husband. Tho house
nnd iho children belong to tho wife.
Tho crops airei the husband's un,tll
they are housed, when they become
the wife's. She grinds tho corn and
wheat between Btones, and this rude
mill is known ns a mctate.
CITIZENS OF THE UNITED
STATES.
Tho courts havo decided that the
pyramid dwellers are citizens of the
Unltod States under tho treaty ot
Hidalgo Guadalupe, by which the
southwest was acquired from Mexico,
but they do not want to bo citizens
and the government lias scarcely
treated them as such. The grant of
six square miles of the fertile, well
watered valley of Taos made by the
Spaniards more than a hundred
years ago lia 'been confirmed by
Uncle Sam, und tho people support
themselves by farming. They do
much of their plowing with, sticks
dragged through the soft soil by
ponies. The chief crops arc corn and
wheat. Tho wheat Is trashed, as In
biblical times, by ponies tramping
out the grain. It Is winnowed by
throwing It Into the air with a pitch
fork on a windy day. The grain Is
then separated from the heavier straw
by running it through a sieve made of
sheep skin punched full of holes and
stretched on a wooden frame. In
this process considerable dirt in the
creases of the kernals, and the wheat
has to be washed to be cleaned, though
many persons think that too finicky.
Many yearn ago the peoplo of the
pyramids Invited some Mexican neigh
bors to become their allies against the
roving Indian enemies. The Mexicans
were given a corner of the grant on
condition that they should' keep
twelve blunderbuse.- and help tho
natives when attacked. These abori
gines proved themselves a bravo race
in several rebellions against the Span
ish yoke. "When tho Mexicans arose In
1818 and mtassacired a number of
Americans they dragged the natives
Into tho affair, claiming that under
the old treaty the red men of the
pyramids were obllgied to help tine
Mexicans fight their enemies, but
since then thpso nlborlglnes havo
given Uncle Sam no trouble. Within
the mud walls which once inclosed
their buildings aro tho ruins of a big
church to constantly remind them of
thel sad experience In that contest.
When tho Mexicans fled before an
American force and took to the moun
tains the natives ook refuge in their
church, whero they expected their
Christian God to protect them from
harm. The thick mud walls withstood
tho bombarding of small cannon un
til the Americans, under cover of
night, dug partly through tho walls,
when the cannon, easily made
breaches. The .dried rafters were also
flred, and many of the people per
ished. METHOD OF GOVERNMENT.
The married mem of the pyramid
community elect a set of officers once
a year. There are a governor, a lieu
tenant governor, an alcalde, a war
captain and several assistants. The
Inauguration! takes placo on New
Tear's Day In the church. The old
ofllcers gather on one side of the
room atid the now ofllcers on the other.
They march In single file toward the
altar, and, as they meet, the old gob-
ernador passes to his successor a silver-headed
ebony cane, presented to
the pueblo by Abraham Lincoln In
18C3. Common wands are transferred
by tho other retiring ofllcers. The new
ofllcers generally Insist also on taking
an oath before tho county Judge, al
though he has no authority In the
matter. Tho natives imagine that
their action Is ratified thereby by
tho government of tho United States.
They also have a cacique, who Is here
ditary, and holds his position for life.
He Is the head of tho system of pagan
religion, while the governor Is the
head of civil affairs, but so great Is
the reverence of the people for the
cacique that In any controversy his
will Is practically law as against the
rule of the gobernador.
The pyramid ask no help of Uncle
Sam, and he docs not interfere in their
internal affairs. They havo aculred a
community title to their farms and
transfer these among themselves. They
have gone Into civilized courts only
once or twice, and then because
whites encroached on their lands.
They lease somo of their land to Mexl
enn neighbors at the rate of Jl for as
much ns can be seeded with a fanega
of grain. A fanega of wheat Is about
two bushels, and It will seed about two
acres, making the rent 60 cents an acre.
An authority has said that nowhere
else on earth has the aborigines built
many-storied homes, and these two
pyramids ore tha only ones of their
kind remaining In the Egypt of America.
GREATER NEW YORK EXPENSES.
Cost of New Municipality Compared
with llxpcndlturui oi London,
From the Sun.
The municipal expenditures of Lon
don, the largest city In tho world,
amount to about $80,000,000 yearly, thus
divided, roughly, among the various
Items: "Water service, $10,000,000; po
lice department, $10,000,000; public char
ities, $12,GOO,000; schools, $10,000,000;
health department, $3,600,000; flro de
partment, $1,000,000; department of
streets, $10,000,000; gas, $3,000,000; Inter
est on municipal debt, $5,000,000, and
miscellaneous expenses, tho balance,
$1C,000,000. Paris, with about one-half
tho total population of the city of Lon
don, spends In a year $75,000,000, or con
siderably more per capita. The ques
tion has been asked how the expenses
of the Greater New York are likely to
cotnpaie with those of London and
Paris.
The present population of London Is,
roughly, 5,500,000, and the population of
the Greater New York Is, roughly, 3,
300,000, the relutlon ot the two cities to
each other In respect of population be
ing as five to three. The population of
Paris Is 2,500,000. The total expenses ot
the city of New York In a year amount,
approximately, to $47,000,000. Those of
the city of Brooklyn amount, approx
imately, to $13,000,000. The expenses of
Long Island City are about $GOO,000 a
year, of Richmond county, $300,000, and
of tho Queens county towns nnnexed to
the Greater New York $150,000, making
a total of $61,250,000 for tho whole ot tho
territory to be Included, on January 1,
1808, In the Greater New York. This Is
a larger ratio of municipal expenditure
to the population than prevails In Lon
don, but a smaller ono than Is the rule
In Paris. The police department of
New York city costs $0,000,000 a year,
and the police department In Brooklyn,
$2,300,000. nnd the total cost of tho po
lice In tho Greater New York will be
about $9,500,000 a year, or nearly as
much ns that of tho city of London.
The street nnd water services are Joined
In this city instead of being separated,
as Is the case In London. The expenses
of the department of public works In
New York are $3,500,000 and those of the
department of city works, which cor
responds to it in Brooklyn, $2,100,000,
and when to this the expense of the
department of street Improvements In
the future borough of Bronx, $630,000,
Is added there Is a total In excess of
$6,000,000 In the whole territory for these
Items. The expense of tho fire depart
ment In New York Is $2,300,000. In
Brooklyn It Is $1,300,000, and In all of
the Greater New York It Is, substan
tially, $3,500,000. The item of interest
on that public debt amounts In New
York to $5,500,000, and in Brooklyn to
$3,300,000, and in the other localities in
cluded In the Greater New York to
$200,000, a total of about $9,000,000, or
about twice that of London. The ex
penditure for charitable purposes In
New York city this year is $2,000,000,
nnd In Brooklyn about $100,000. Tho
item of education appears to the extent
of $6,000,000 in the budget of New York
city, and to the extent of $2,700,000 In
the budget of Brooklyn, Irrespective ot
the contributions of these two cities
and of the other districts of the Great
er New York to the state educational
fund, which brings up the total amount
to $10,000,000. Long Island City ex
pends $115,000 a year for educational
put poses.
CRIME IN LITERATURE.
X Now Complaint nt Ono of tho
Tendencies of the Times.
An article In tho WestnMnster Re
view deals with "Crime In Current
Literature," the anonymous author
asserting that "never were there ho
many pens engaged In dealing with
crime and criminals as at tho present
time; the few, seriously and solemnly;
the many, lightly and Irreverently, and
unwitting of the moral mischief they
thereby engender." Ho refers especial
ly to the fondness for "detective sto
ries," most of which, he finds, are writ
ten by individuals who have not and
never had tho remotest connection
with the police." On this head the
writer furnishes the following statistics:
' I want to put an ' ad ' on your drop cnrialn."
" AH right. Shall we have the scene painter do it ? "
" No; I'll get a sign painter. I want something pretty good."
From Lifts. Coavrlclit. 3 807. by Mitchell & Miller,
Tho number of newspapers, strictly
so called, published weekly In Great
Britain and containing serial stories of
one kind or another, Is nearly 800. Of
these, 592 aro published In England
and Wales, 113 In Scotland, and 80 In
Ireland. Out ot this total It has been
ascertained that In the year 1893 no
fewer than 240 published complete, or
portions of detective stories atorlca ot
nil phases and forms ot criminality, de
scribing tho details thereof with great
er or less degrees of minuteness; hero
making the criminal a sort of Claude
Duval, or highway hero worthy of em
ulation, and there rightly branding
htm as an iniquitous scoundrel, fit only
for tho clutch of Jack Ketch, but al
most Invariably depleting the lildeous
ness of crime as it certainly ought not
to bo depicted. Many such weekly
newspapers as are published In popu
lous centers have long ago recognized
the Importance of this factor In help
ing to Increase their circulation, and
they can not bo blamed for It.
But It. Is- a somewhat remarkable fact,
which the Inquiry Into this phase of
tho subject has made evident, that In
newspapers of the class Indicated
which aro published In Ireland the gen
eral character .of tho serial stories was,
and like enough still Is, much above
that of the stork'9 published In tho
same place In English or Scottish
newspapers. On an average, there are
fewer by far that make the same lit
erary speciality, In s-tory or "experi
ence" form, of the subject of crime
and its detection. In the light of the
past, or even of present, events In Ire
land, tills evidence may be taken for
what it Is worth; but it Is none the
less a significant fact desetvlng" of a
little consideration by those whom it
happen to concern.

From tho Clitrago News.
A wild flame burst forth and reached
in famished writhlngs toward tho sullen

Sulphurous poisons arose In silent, suf

In chorused, crimsoned harmonies u

Wild cries rang out; white figures ran
Into the night and the mallgant, pursu
