A MYSTERIOUS ISLAND San Nicolas Was Once Peopled by a Race of Indians. AN ENIGMA OF THE PACIFIC, On This Barren, Wave Swept Sand Dune Are Mounds of Shells and Bones and Stone Implements, Monuments of a Lost Race of Ancient People. About eighty miles due northwest of San Pedro, in California, lies a desert island that has all the combined romance of the ages in its history. It is rarely visited aud has but a single inhabitant, yet it has a peculiar fas cination for many people. The very ele ments seem to conspire to make the place forbidden, as it almost invariably blows a gale of wind in the vicinity, and when one reaches the inhospitable island there is no bay or harbor for a craft much larger than a rowboat. The island is about seven miles long by two or three in width and rises to a height of SOO to 1,000 feet in the center. Wind swept, forbidding, haunt ed by the spirits of storms, it does not invite inspection and appears to have been cursed by the elements, yet de spite this the island was at one time the home of a numerous people, a race that has been lost sight of. The writer made several attempts to reach the island in a sixty ton yacht and was literally blown off, finally making it one day about noon, coming to anchor near -a--long, specter-like tongue of land that extends out into the ocean. where the tide ran like a mill race and a heavy ground swell swept around the point from the windward side. The islana. of San Nicolas ap pears like a sand dune. The landing was a wave swept beach that received a high swell from three points, and it was evident that skill in landing alone would make it possible. The boat lay off, waiting for a low sea, and finally went sailing in upon one of less size, and the crew jumped overboard and held on to the boat that the undertow and back rush attempted to claim. In this manner the entire party landed, and an investigation of the island was begun. The one inhab itant, a-Basque, came down to the beach. He had not heard the news of the world for a year and did not dis play any disposition to learn it, but he was not happy-too many dead peo ple, too many bones that make wind spirits blow, he said, and when he heard that the party was after the re mains of these dead people he showed an inclination to leave. In all proba bility there is not in any land a more remarkable mound to be seen. About ten feet in height and nearly a mile in length, It was at this time a verita ble Golgotha, a collection of bones and implements of the lost people, ever changing, ever shifting, today expos ing numbers of skeletons, tomorrow covering them up in sheets of sand. The mound was a town site upon which hundreds of people had lived for untold ages. They had brought in their shells and, fish bones, piling them up at the doors of their huts, slowly building themselves up higher and higher, until in time they came to live on the top of a vast shell mound. Here they buried their dead, concealed their household goods, and when a man or woman diect his or her possessions were buried with them, and so ~the big mounds were made up of shells, stone implements, fish and human bones-a monument of this lost race. Where the original islanders came from, who they were or why they lived on such a- wind swept, nearly waterless Island is one of the mys teries, but it is known that the. mission fathers visited San Nicolas years ago and took off the few survivors found there and divided them up among the various mainland tribes. When this human loot was being carried into ex ecution, a storm came up, and in the hurry of departure it was found that a woman had left, her baby on the beach. It was impossible,. to land, so the captain sailed away, but not with the mother. She had plunged into'. the waves and swum a long distance to'the shore and with her child was deserted, the captain intending to return later for her. San Nicolas, however, was not visited for many years. The ves sel was wrecked, but the legend lived, and many years after a priest decided to visit the island and learn if the woman had survived. An expedition was got up in 1850, the party mang a safe landing.. They formed a line across the island .in order not to miss any signs of human habitation and be gan a slow search from the south point north. They soon found evi dence of anicient occupation and in a deep canyon discovered a hut and a * woman, the mother who had been de serted years before. She was living in the hut, which was made of whale ribs -and sea lion hair, her sole companions being several wild dogs that savagely charged the strangers. The woman could not make herself understood, and, singularly enough, no one in all the Indian tribes in southern California could be found who under stood her. She told her discoverers by signs that the wild dogs had killed her child long ago and that she killed sea lions and sea birds with stones and lived on them. At first she appeared to be afraid of the men; but, finding that they treated her kindly, she consented to go with them. She took all the rude articles she had used during the years of her solitude, her skin dresses, made mostly from the skins of the sea lions, and so interesting were the costumes that they were sent to Rome to the pope by the priest who instigated the res eue. The woman was taken to Santa Bar bara and named M.aris, after the little vessel which accomplished her rescue. She was placed in care of a family. who did everything possible for her. She was bright and vivacious in dispo sition, learned some Spanish, danced and sang for her friends and was vis ited by Inc .ns from various parts of California in an effort to find some one who could understand her. But civili zation proved too much for her, and she died in three months, one of the most remarkable Crusoes known, as her story is based on actual facts and in its details Is much stronger than fiction. The interesting mound which the writer examined on San Nicolas was formed during past centuries by the ancestors of this woman and possesses an intense interest on this account. The island near the landing was twen ty or thirty feet higher than the shore and reached through singular wind worn passes, wind being the sculptor here. Once on the heights a broad mesa was seen, as level as a floor and ancient plowing or something of the kind. The mesa was covered with fine flinty stones about the size of peas, which the herder says were picked up by the wind and blown through the air at times. They were arranged like chaff on a beach. The writer followed this mesa for several miles. and that the island had had a large and vigor ous population at some distant time was evident. Every short distance some object was found, now a pipe made from the vertebrae of a fish, a needle of fish bone, a dish made from a shell, the holes plugged with asphal tum. Here would be a stone club or mortar of stealite, a spearhead or a sinker and shell hooks that some fish erman centuries ago perhaps had drop ped and forgot. Everywhere piles of big pearly shells of a size unknown here were found, telling of the lives and work of these people. One mound was found cov ered by the ribs of whales and beneath them a flat rock bearing marks of va rious kinds, and then the owner, a skeleton in perfect preservation, and all about it in the sand vessels of stone, flutes of bird bones and the va rious objects which went to make up the home of this unknown. In one spot six layers of skeletons were found, the lowest apparently very old. The question of age is always very inter esting, but no one- in contemplating these great shell deposits can form an adequate idea of their age. The island evidently has been inhab ited since the earliest times. But the elements have conspired against it, and it is doomed to be swept and covered with sand. The island is now fre qu'ented by the professional collectors, who go over from the mainland and live here for weeks and months, camp ing out on the sand dunes, weighting their tents down with rocks to prevent being blown into the sea. Every morn ing they go out, with their hooks and poles, hunting for the spoils which have been uncovered by the wind in the night. In this way tons of mate rial have been collected here and sent all over the world.-Chicago Chronicle. The Now Puze F~od and Drug Law.

Once in Italy a card was brought tc Mine. Patti from a man whose name she did not know, but who was sc very anxious to see her that she allow ed him to be shown into her room. When the unknown came in he proved to be a little old man who was quite red and speechless with nervousness. Suddenly Patti noticed smoke coniing out of his coat, so without saying a word she seized a glass of water and threw it over him. It turned out thai the old man had put his lighted cigaz into his pocket when he entered the room and so had set fire to his coat "Sir," said Mmne. Patti, "I have had many admirers who professed them selves burning with admiration for me, but I have never before met one whC went so far as to set himself on fire to prove it."

When Christ says in his sermon "that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than It is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven" he does not mean a sewing needle, but a hole through which a camel had to pass through in getting into a fortress. It was the custom in I old times, and in parts of Agibia still is, for the people of a village to build a fortress against the robbers of the desert, into which they carried an un derground passage in a zigzag form barely large enough for a camel lying down on its side to work itself through into the courtyard of the fort, and the Saviour beautifully compares the strug gles of the animal to what the rich man must suffer in order to gain paradise. The hole was called "the eye of the needle." In the old stone cahirs, or walled cities, in Ireland specimens of these eyelles may be seen. Most of them have been partially destroyed, but there is one almost perfect at Grianan Elleach, in Donegal, and so like the eastern eyeholes that one would think they were made by the same workmen. The Irish annals relate that fileach was erected by a Tuach de Daanan chief 1,300 years before Christ.-Ex change. _______ The Magic Flat. "This is our library," said the New York woman, leading her visitor into the front room. "And that cozy little room back of it Is the music room. The 'den' is the big, bright room on your left. Come over and see it. Yes, .we have just five rooms in all. The small back hallroom we use as a pack ing and storage closet. Isn't it cozy?" "Y-e-s," agreed her visitor doubtful ly, "but where do you sleep and eat. and all that?" "Oh," said the New Yorker indiffer ently, "my husband and I sleep in the 'den' on the oriental couch, and mother sleeps in the music room on another couch that pulls out at night. We eat on that funny little table in the libra ry. You've no idea how big it can be made when the leaves are In. And we dress In the bathroom and keep our clothes in the packing room. So, you see, It's all very convenient." "What do you do in the kitchen?" in quired the other lac(nically. "Oh, we keep the dogs in there at night, and in the daytime we some times use it-to cook in."-New York Press. The Price of Health.

But do mc a favor as an old and experienced friend. Give the "Trovatore" once each week in order to pay salaries." This advice was not followed, and very soon the academy was again for rent-New York Tribune. The New and the Old. A Chicago girl said the other day in an address before a girls' club: "I ad vise all of you to be new women. I urge you to pay no heed to the gibes about new women thait are continually being uttered by men. It Isn't a fine type of man that gibes at the new wo man. You know the story of the man in the county fall? 'What brought you here, my poor fellow?' a missionary asked. 'I married a new woman, sir,' the prisoner groaned. 'Ahar' said the missionary. 'And she was so domi neering and extravagant that It drove you to desperate courses. eh?' 'No,' said the prisoner. 'The old woman turned up.' "-San Francisco Argonaut An Odd Little Anagram.
