MEXICO'S LOST CITY.
The Remarkable Discovery of
Prospecting Miner.
WUli« Itiiuililtui? Through the Wild* of
the Dumngo Mountain* the Pro*-
pert or llupprus I pon the
Deiertrd Town.
The finding- of a ruined and deserted
city recently among the wilds of the
Durango mountains by Malvern \V.
Cresworth, an English mining* man,
has had the effect of renewing the in-
terest in the lost city lung known to
exist somewhere in northern central
Mexico, says the St. Louis (Jlobe-Demo-
crat. The claim made that Mr. Cres-
worth is the first man to see the city is
perhaps erroneous, as it is pretty well
known to have been discovered by
Jose Harresa, a Mexican, over half a
century ago, while the Indians of the
Sierra Madres have long referred to
such a city in their traditions. On the
strength of Ilarresa's statements three
different parties have been outfitted in
late years from San Dimas, a mining
camp on the west side of the range, in
the effort to locate the deserted city
and secure the treasure which the Mex-
ican said it contained.
The story of Harresa, who was alive
lij) to a few years ago, is that when a
young man of twenty-five years of age
he was imprisoned in the carccl in the
city of Durango on the charge of cat-
tle-stealing. Whether guilty or not
he declined to say, but at any rate he
succeeded in making his escape from
jail and fled to the mountain wilds of
the north in the effort to reach his old
home at San Dimas. The Sierra
Madres in the state of Durango are
among the wildest mountains in the
world and are almost impassable. The
fugitive soon became lost and for many
days wandered in an almost demented
condition over the rugged fastnesses.
One day in coming out upon a precipi-
tous bluff looking down into a deep
valley he saw far below him what ap-
peared to be a populous city. After
great difficulty he succeeded in de-
scending the precipitous wall which
hemmed in the settlement from the
outside world, but found, to his amaze-
ment, not an inhabitant in sight. Ex-
pip ng the city, he found the houses
deserted and the courts of the dwell-
ings grown up with rank weeds and
tropical plants. Exploring further, he
found signs which told him that the
city had been deserted or its people
swept suddenly out of existence while
pursuing the ordinary vocations of
li/c. The place could easily be recog-
nized as an old Spanish mining town
by the works which remained, and,
going into the oltl mills and arrastras,
he found large stores of silver ore left
while in the process of being worked.
The discoverer took samples of his
f>re and after many more days of wan-
dering finally found his way to San
Dimas, where he had the samples
assayed. They proved to be very rich
in silver, with some gold, and the story
told by the Mexican created large in-
terest. A party, with Harresa as its
guide, soon set out to locate the place
ami sack it of its riches. Hut as the
mountains were without trails and the
country in general one of the roughest
in the world he was unable to again
find the place, the trail to which was
at least very obscure and intricate.
Two other attempts to find the hidden
city under the direction of the Mex-
ican were made in later years, but
were no more successful than the first.
As there was every reason to believe
the story many of the associates of
Harresa, who lived to be over ninety
years old. at various times have es-
sayed to rediscover the ancient city
and its workings. Many of them have
come to grief and have never been heard
of since trying to unravel the mystery
of the Sierras.
Richard E. Chism, of the City of
Mexico, a well-known mining man and
at present editor of the Mexican Miner,
was personally acquainted with Har-
resa when he was an old man, and says
there can be little doubt that the late
find made is but an accidental discov-
ery of what has been searched for
through many years. Mr. Chism is en-
tirely familiar with the country in a
gcueral way and says the Spaniards
three hundred years ago had large
mines worked by native slaves in the
region. If the fresh efforts which will
be shortly made to locate the city suc-
ceed in their purpose he thinks some
of the richest silver mines in the re-
public will probabl}' be reopened to
the light and to work*.

HOUSEHOLD DECORATION.
fh« Proper lT e of Color iu Interior Deo*
oration.
The principles of proper use of color
In house interiors are not difficult to
master. It is unthinking1, unreflective
action which makes so many unrestful
interiors of homes. The creator of a
home should consider, in the first place,
that it is a matter as important as cli-
mate, and uA difficult to get away from,
and that the first shados of color used
in the house, on walls or ceiling, must
govern everything1 else that enters in
the way of 0furnishing, that the color
of walls prescribes that which must be
used in floors, curtains, and furniture.
Not that these must necessarily be of
the same tint as walls, but that those
tints must govern the choice.
All this makes it necessary to take
first steps carefully, to select for each
room the eoloi which will best suit the
taste, feeling, or bias of the occupant,
and then take into account with this
the exposure of the room and the use
of it I will illustrate the modifica-
tions made necessary in tint by differ-
eut exposure to light by supposing
that some one member of the family
prefers yellow to all other colors, on"
who has enough of the chameleon in
her nature to feel an instinct to baslf
In the sunshine. 1 will also suppose
that the room most conveniently de-
voted to this person has a southern ex-
posure. In using yellow in this room,
which is naturally flooded with wariu
yellow light, the quality of the yellow-
must be very different from that which
could be properly and profitably used
in a room with a northern exposure,
and it must differ not only in intense
ty, but actually in color. To get the
best effect in each, the room with
southern exposure should be paler and
colder, the tint of yellow should be the
lemon, and not the gold-yellow—one
should be treated with a chrome-tinted
white, and one with almost pure oehre-
color. Of course, these differences be-
long to technical knowledge and ex-
perience. but the want of experience
can be in a great degree supplemented
by careful study, and the results war-
rant both care and study.
In simple houses with plaster ceil-
ings the tints to be used upon tViem
are easily decided. The rule of grada-
tion of color from floor to ceiling pre-
scribes for the latter tin- lightest tone
of the gradation, and as the ceiling
stands for light, and should actually
reflect light into the room, the philoso-
phy' of this arrangement of colors is
obvious. It is not, however, by any
means an invariable rule that the ceil
ing should carry the same tint as t'>e
wall, even in a much lighter tone, al-
though greater harmony and restful-
ness of effect is produced in this way.
A ceiling of creamy v/hite will harmon-
ize "w eli wit h almost any tint upon the
walls, and at the same time give an ef-
fect of air and light in the room. It i
also a good ground for ornament in
elaborately decorated rooms.
In considering simply the proper and
best use of color for house interiors it
is not necessary to include the question
of ornament or elaboration either of
walls or ceiling. These may follow
but tint must go before, and if thor-
oughly studied and well chosen, cai
very well dispense with ornament —

PIGTAIu. ^LCORATIOi>5.
<>reiiteut Honor That the Sultan Confer#
t'pou Ills Wive .
It is only on rare and special occa-
sions that ladies are permitted to visit
the sultan's harem; it is considered a
very great privilege, and few beneath
the rank of an ambassadress can ever
aspire to it.
There are a great number of ladies
in the harem, some of them being very
beautiful. Each has her own allow-
ance for dress and other expenses, and
the young and pretty women generally
get all their clothes from Paris,
though many are still content with
the old-fashioned Turkish dress, which
is not unlike our own tea gowns.
They wear 110 veils iu the house, and
they usually wear their hair in short
loose curls, upon which is often worn
a smart little toque ornamented with
jewels or a white aigrette.
The great distinction which they all
c ivet is the decoration of "the three
tails," which is only conferred on the
greatest ladies of the palace or some
special favorite. These tails are com-
posed of plaited hair, not unlike the
Chinese pigtail, though shorter, as it
only reaches a little below the waist.
To have even one of these tails is a
great honor, while the bestowal of all
three will go far to make the recipient
u proud and happy woman f« r life.
BOOK NOTES.
An Oxford library has a manuscript
containing the whole BR>le. It is writ-
ten on a piece of parchment so thin
and the writing is so minute that the
whole, when rolled up, is neatly packed
away in the shell of a common wal-
nut.
Lovell, the naturalist, in 1661, pub
lislied a book at Oxford entitled 'Pan-
zoologico-Mineralogia," a title which
recalls that proposed by llabelais, who
intended to call one of his books "An-
t i p e ricatametaparahengedamphicrih-
rationes."
In 1740, a book intended to ridicule
printers was published entitled "A
