LURE OF LOST TREASURE HUNT-
ING NOT ALL FICTION.
IN OBEDIENCE TO ORDERS
French Boy Caused Merriment by Tak.
Ing the Order of the Court Too
Literally.
A droll Incident Is reported as hav
Ins taken place In one of the provln
cial appeal courts In France. A boy.
about fourteen, was summoned to give
evidence, and his appearance was such
us to move the whole court to laugh
ter. He w;oro a long redlngote, pecu
liar to the Basque country, and Im-
mense boots. His trousers, collar and
hat were unquestionably those of a
man. The court was convulsed, and
the president asked the boy how he
dared to treat the court In such a
manner. The boy seemed as surprised
os the president, and taking out the
citation from his pocket, read the
formula inviting him, "Comparaltre
dans les affaires do son pere." (To
appear in his father's suit.)
Crippled by Tuberculosis.
According to a recent report by Dr
Conrad Blesalskl of Berlin, there are
75,000 cripples in the German empire
out of a population of 60,500,000. Over
60,000 of the cripples are in need of
proper treatment. Doctor Biesalski
etates that in 15 per cent of the crip
pies examined, their deformity was
due to tuberculosis of the bones and
Joints, and that there were 10,000
such children In great need of med
Icul treatment. He advocates the es
tablishment of seaside sanatoria tor
this latter class of cripples.
Need of the Agriculturist.
"Here I am." said the returned wan
flerer, "back with the fortune I said 1
would make and ready to pay the
mortgage off the farm!"
"Ef that ain't hard luck!" exclaim-
ed the father. "As times are goin'
now that mortgage ain't botberin' no
oody. I'd a heap rather have seen
ron broke an' ready to do regular
work for wages."
'Millions Hidden Under Ocean—Sonna
Has Been Recovered, but Much
Remain* to Be Found-
Case of John Phlppi.
noBton—Not all the tales of vast
treasures buried deep under the sea
are evolved in the minds of novelists.
Robert Louis Stevenson and a dozen
other writers have made such stories
famous, but there have been men.
real men, who have profited by se-
crets of buried gold, real gold In
fact, some of the real stories of lost
and recovered treasure can give
points to romance and beat It with
ease.
The successful adventures of John
Phipps are a case in point. Phipps,
who had been a ships carpenter, to-
wards the end of the seventeenth
century, spent years trying to con-
vince various peers that there lay a
vast Spanish treasure under the sea
off Hlspanlola. At last, the Duke of
Albemarle lent him a ship, with the
result thnt, after a year of adventure
Phipps returned to England, bringing
with him recovered treasure worth
ti,000,000.
Phipps' welcome when he returned
to England with this freight resulted
through the influence of the Duke of
Albemarle, who shared his treasure,
in knighthood and an appointment as
Bovernor of Massachusetts.
Ever since the time of Phipps, the
search for gold has gone on. How-
ever, although centuries have passed,
many a million still lies on the bot-
tom of the ocean, and it may continue
there centuries longer.
Perhaps the most valuable sunken
treasure in the world Is now lying at
the bottom of Vigo bay. The Spanish.
In 1702. to avoid capture, scuttled
their largest ships laden with treas-
ure, the harvest of four years' loot-
ing in Mexico. The treasure, in gold,
silver and previous stones, is esti-
mated to bo worth $10,000,000.

ward group in the West Indies, either

COFFEE CONGESTION
Causes a Variety of Ails.
A happy old lady in Wisconsin
says:
"During the time I -was a coffee
drinker I was subject to tsick head-
aches, sometimes lasting 2 or 3 days,
totally unfitting me for anything.
To this affliction was added, some
years ago, a trouble with. my heait
that was very painful, accompanied
by a smothering sensation and laint-
ness.
"Dyspepsia, also, came to make life
harder to bear. I took all sorts of pat
ent medicines but none of them helped
me for any length of time.
"Tlie doctors frequently told me
that coffee was not good for me; but
■without coffee I felt as if I had no
breakfast I finally decided about 2
years ago to abandon the use of cof-
lee entirely, and as I had read a great
deal about Postum I concluded to try
that for a breakfast beverage.
"I liked the taste of it and was par
tlcularly pleased to notice that it did
not 'come up' as coffee used to. The
bad spells with my heart grew less
and less frequent, and finally ceased
altogether, and I have not had an at-
tack of sick headache for more than a
year. My digestion is good, too, and
I am thankful that I am once more a
healthy woman. I know my wonder-
ful restoration to health came from
quitting coffee and using Postum."
Name given by the Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.
"There's a reason," and it is this.
Coffee has a direct action on the liver
with some people, and causes partial
congestion of that organ preventing
the natural outlet of the secretions.
Then may follow biliousness, sallow
skin, headaches, constipation and final-
ly a change of the blood corpuscles
and nervous prostration.

Of all the diseases of the skin and
6calp which torture and disfigure man-
kind, three-fourths are eczeifiatous.
Millions are born w 1th eczema, and It
Is the only thing other millions have ,
left when they die. Neglect in infancy
and childhood, irritating conditions af-
fecting the skin, ignorance of its real
nature, improper remedies and many
other causes that might be mentioned
have created an eczema which, with
varying severity, has afflicted count- j
less numbers during their entire lives.
Eczema is a skin disease. It is not re- i
garded as hereditary, nor contagious, I
and is Impartially distributed among !
the rich and poor, the high and low.
The agonizing itching and burning of j
the skin, causing loss of sleep, is usual-
ly the most distressing symptom and is
caused by the bursting of little vesicles
filled with an acrid fluid, which burns
as with lire tho denuded slcln. New
vesicles form, fill and burst, scales
form upon scales, and crusts upon
crusts until disfigurement Is added to
torture.
One of the most successful treat-
ments for eczema, whether applied to
the youngest infant or the oldest per-
son, is hot baths with Cutlcura Socp
and gentle anointings of Cutlcura oint-
ment. For more than a generation,
these pure, sweet and gentle emolli-
ents have proved the most efficient
agents in the speedy and permanent
relief of all forms of eczemas, rashes,
itchings and irritations of the skin and
sralp. Although Cutlcura soap and
ointment are sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, In order that
those who have suffered lonr and
hopelessly and who have lost faith in
everything may make trial of them
without charge, a liberal sample of
each will be mailed free to any ad-
dress, together with a 32-page pamph-
let, giving a description and treatment
of the various forms of eczema, as
well as other affections of the skin,
scalp, hair and hands—send to "Cutl-
cura," Dept. W, Boston.
Traveling through the state of Iowa
the other day, and Iowa is no excep-
tion to the story about to be related,
the writer was showu a farm that was
offered three years ago for $250 an
acre. That appeared to be a high tig
ure for land upon which the owner
depended upon the crops of corn, hogs
and cattle that could be raised upon
it. But It wasn't. A few weeks since
the farm changed hands at $325 an
acre. Over in Illinois, down In In-
diana, up In Wisconsin, across the
line in Minnesota, the same experi-
ence was met with. And then atten-
tion is directed to Canada, which has
been the Mecca of so many hundred
thousand Americans during the past
few years. Not only in Eastern Ca .-
ada has the price of lands Increased,
but in Western Canada, during the
past few weeks, farm lands have In-
creased from three to five dollars an
sere, with the prospect of a similar
advance during tho next three months.
' The reason for this is very apparent,
and in a few words It may be pointed
out that the lands are worth a great
1 deal more than the present prices.
| The Northwestern Agriculturist of
1 Minneapolis, a paper that was one of
| the first of the American farm papers
to discover the real merits of the
' lands of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, says: "The reciprocity sched-
ule would encourage American farm-
j ers to move to Canada, where the vir-
j gin soil will produce greater crops of
I grain with less labor than can be pro-
| duced In our own farms in tho North-
I west. The result will be to enhance
land values in Canada." This paper
| is afraid land values in Cannda will be
enhanced at the expense of land
values In the Vnltod States. In face
I of the fact that land values In the
I United States are Increasing the rea-
| soning scarcely holds. The reason for
the advance in value of Canadian
lands is partly accounted from the
fact, admitted by this paper, that Can-
ada's virgin soil will produco "greater
crops of grain with less labor." But
that is not the only reason. During
the past twelve months 320,000 peo-
ple have made Canada their home and
these are mostly of the farming class.
They want farms, and the demand as
well as the wealth of the soil Is regu-
lating the price. A study of the in-
crease in the acreage of land put un-
der crop last year, which can be had
from any Canadian government repre-
sentative, will prove the point, that
the demand Is increasing at a greater
ratio than even the most sanguine
would have predicted.
Too Fresh.
"Will you promise to support my
daughter in the style iu which she Is
accustomed If I consent to your mar-
riage?" demanded old Skinflint, when
Dobby made l is formal proposal.
"Well, t—I'll promise to be tolerably
close with her, Mr. Skinfliut." said
Dobby. "but you know, I'm a soft-
hearted cuss, and I'm afraid she'll b
able to wheedle a few things out of
me that you were strong enough to re-
fuse her." Judge.

As an amusing instance of the way
In which lost treasure can grow by
rumor. Captain Kidd's hoard Is In-
structive. When Kidd was hanged in
T.ondon in May, 1701, a shipmate of
Kidd's said that the captain had hid-
den about $1,500 worth of plate and
coin, which he had not been able to
recover. From this Bmall beginning
sprang the innumerable stories of
Captain Kidd's hoards, the last of
which placed the amount at $5,000,000

London.—Treasure trove to the
value of $1,250,000 is reported from
Jersey, where it was uncovered by
Athelstan Riley while he was pulling
down the ruins of an old manor house
built In the thirteenth century with
the object of using the stone to en
large his present manor.

filled with spade guineas bearing the
British arms on a spade-shaped shield.

Bird Jekyll and Hyde.
The catbird Is our northern mock-
ing bird. When love attunes its
voice, it can warble as sweetly as the
nightingale. You must catch It in
one of its melting moods If you would
know the charm of its liquid notes. It
Is not at all beautiful—no more is the
mocking bird—only a gray-brown,
perky, restless thing, of lesser size
than the robin, with the soul of song
in It.
The wonder of the catbird lies, of
(ourse. in this, its dual nature. At
one time it hops about screeching
complaints against the circumambient
air; at another there throbs out from
its delicate throat the essence of a
divine melody.—Philadelphia Press.

Triumph of Courage.
Courage and the "power of the hu-
man eye." saved Walter Sargent, a
prosperous rancher, in the Redwood
district, San Jose, when he was con-
fronted by a hungry mountain lion
the other evening. Sargent was driv-
ing a herd of cows to his home in the
foothills when he noticed the big cat
stalking him. As it crouched for a
spring Sargent turned and fixed the
beast with his eye. Man and lion
remained as immovable as statues for
a few seconds and then the animal
turned and trotted away.
