this morning tlio Unit of a sorles of sermons
to tho women of America, with practical
bint for men. Tho subject of this dlsoourso
was, "Tlio Women Who Fight tho Bnttlo of

for mnn to Ihi nlono. but never unys It Is not
good for womnn to bo nlono; nml tho simple
fact Is thnt women who nro harnessed for

Many an attractive woman of good sound
enso in other things has married ono of thoso
mon to reform him. What wns tho result!
Liko when a dovo noticing thnt n vultura was
rapacious nnd cruol set about to reform it
and said: "I have a mild disposition, nnd 1
liko pence, and was brought up in tho qulot
of n dovo coto, and I will bring tho vulturo
to tho samo liking by marrying him." So
ono day after tho vulturo had declared ho
would givo up his carnivorous luibiU and

u altar of rock covered, with moss and
Jchon, tho twain wero married, a bald hooded
glo officiating, tho vulturo aylngI "With

"tow. nnd promise to loyo nnd chorish till

her flight, saw tho vulturo busy at n cnrcasti
and cried: "Stop thnt I did you not promlso
mo that you would quit your carnivorous
and llltlfy habits If I married youl" "Yes "
aid tv vulturo, "but if you don't liko my
way jou can leavo," and with ono angry
troko of beak and anothor ilerco clutch of
claw tho vulturo loft tho dovo eyolo-a nud
wingless and llfoless. Ami a flock of robius
flying past cried to each other nnd said: "Seo
therol that comes from a dovo's marrying a
Vulturo to rcf onu him."
Many a woman who lias had tho hand of a
jroung inobriato offered, but declined it, or
who was asked to chain hor lifo to anuui
elfish or of Iwd temper, and refused tho
hackles, will bless God throughout all
eternity that sho escaped that earthly pande

1,000,000 moa wero sacrificed In our civil
War, and that decreed a million womon to

every year by strong drluk before marriage,
that makes In tho twenty-three- years since
tho war 1,150,000 mon slain, and decrees
1,150,000 women to celibacy. Tako thon th

Tlie Homcnwny cxjieditloii, u.idcr tho dl-
rectlon of Frank Cushlng, has bwn nt work-
for Boveral months nnd hns cicnvnted tho-
"l J18 rmn clty thrw lnl109 ,onK ttn'1 tw'o mlloa
wide. Tho excavations nre not continuous;
but hnvo been mndo nt vnrlous polnU nloiur
tho mnln street nnd nt the limits of tho town,,
tho extent of which is clearly established.
Mr. Cushlng ncqulred from tho Zunl'
Indians, among whom lis lias Jived for
somo years, tho knowledge of fustoiui
nnd traditions which enabled him tov
iiuu tno uunKi cities of tho Salt Rlvor vol
loy. Tho first ono excavated Is called Los
Muortos, tho city of tho dead. Others that
havo been jmrtlnlly explored nro Kl Pueblo
do los Hornns, tho city of ovens', ElCludaoV
do los Ihioblltos and El Puoblo do los Picdras.
But theso nro only a part of tho chain of
cities that onco covered tho desert. There
are nineteen buried cities in tho Salt Hlvor
valloy alone, and Los Muertos, which had a
population of at least 10,000, is ono of tho
smallest, Tlio entire valloy was onco a sys
tem of cities with adjacent farms, and up ln
u uuuuuiiiis nro sacnucini caves ana
pueblos of stono, many of which nover havo
been oxplored and uro entirely unknown to
tho wandering tourist and sightseer.
Tho peoplo who lived in theso cities wcrff
not Aztecs, as has boon supposed. Thoy wcro
of thoraco that preceded tho Attecs, and hnd
upon this continent n civilization oldor than
tho pyramids. This Is provod by tho human
remains and relics found In tho houses that
imYo ueen iiug out. lithnologlcnl resoarch
prohocutoil by Mr. Cushlng by tho compara
tive method demonstrates that tho dwellers
of tho plain wero Toltecs, nnd thnt thoy
reached a high state of civilization ninny
centuries before tho Aztecs upjieiired. Thoy
were probnbly of Aslntlo origin, but not
Mongoloid. Tho Indian of the Pacific coast
appears to bo Mongoloid and a Inter Immi
grant from Asia. Tlio ngo of tho Tolteo ruin,
is reckoned in thousands of years.
Tho ruins of Los Muertos are being thor
oughly examined, becnuso thoy nro typical
nud nlso becnuso tho) havo been burled, and
therefore protected from tho ravages of tlmo
tourists and ranchers. Ttv.i,rn i
blocks of buildings Imvo been uncovered, and
threo cor loads of relics havo nocii scut to
Boston. Theso relics consist of lottery, im
plomcnUnndskelotons. Ono of tho ruined
buildings measures 400 by 375 feet, anothor
n. l0I,Sinml "wtiyof tho buildings
ore 800 feet square. Tho odobo walls nro.
sometimes seven feet thick nnd two storlos
high. Connected with ench building Is a
pyrnl mound, nround tho luuo of which aro
tho funeral urns containing tho ashes of cre
mated Toltecs. Entrance to tho buildings
were sometimes through doorwnys and souio
tiiiies through holes in tho roofs. Ench
building wns divided into n i-mnf ..,!
of omnll rooms, indicating a. lnrgo tHjpula
tion to each block. Tho roofs wero of concrete,-
supported by timbers, and most of
them hnvo fnllen in. Hern nml !,.,. i.
concrete remains in itosition, retaining an '
impression of timbers that hnvo disappeared
uttcsly.
It Is evident that theso cities wcro destroyed
by earthquakes. In most cases tho roofs
Imvo fallen in and tho sldo wnlls havo fnllen
outward. Timo has disintegrated tho adobe
blocks, and tho rains havo spread tho
niuterlal so ovonly that tho bulIdiugHaro In
dicated only by slight Irregularities In tho
surface, Tho work of excavation is simply
to clear away tho surfaco material. That
tho cities wero suddenly overthrown is
proved by tho finding of skeletons 'under tho
fallen roofs nnd wnlLs in is!tlons indicating
violent doaths. Ono skeleton, photographed
ns found, shows' thnt tho mnn wns caught
under tho falling roof and thrown upon his
faco. Ills chest is pushed forward by tho
weight, and his right hnnd, stretched out as
ho foil, is crushed and flattened. Tho largo
number of bodies found proves thut tho
