Period of Five Years to Be Given to
Recovery of Golden Treasure
Which Went Down with Dutch
and British Ships.
1 In’ve is something intensely fas-
cinating about the thought of buried
treasure, and from time to time in
the world’s history the ambition to re-
cover untold wealth has led to a tre-
mendous expenditure of time and ef
fort and money itself, perhaps more
ot the latter than was ever recovered
by successful ventures. The latest ex-
pedition of this kind has just com-
pleted its preparations and set sail
from London for the far coast of
Africa where it is confidently expected

Without hesitation I write to thank
you for the fry cat relief I have found in
your valuable medicine, Peruna, and
xvill call the attention of all my friends
suffering xvith catarrh to that fact. Be-
sides / cheerfully recommend it to all suf-
fering xvith catarrh in any form."_

A Case of Spring Catarrh.
Mrs. N. P. Lawler, 423,V N. Broadway,
1 ittsburg, Ivas., writes: “Last spring I
caught a severe cold, which developed
into a serious case of catarrh. I felt
weak and sick, and could neither eat
nor sleep well.
“A member of our club who had been
cured of catarrh through the use of Pe-
runa advised me to try it, and I did so
at once. I expected help, but nothing
like the wonderful change for the better
I observed almost as soon as I started
taking it. In three days I felt much
better, and within two weeks I was in
bne health. Peruna is a wonderful
medicine.”

TRY DR. WILLIAMS’ PINK PILLS
FOR YOUR RHEUMATISM.
The Pills Hava Cured the Disease In
Almost Every Form and Evon in
Advanced Stages.
Rheumatism is a painful inflamma-
tion of the muscles or of the coverings
of the joints and is sometimes accom-
panied by swelling. The pain is sharp
aud shooting and does not, coutiue itself
(o any one part of the body, but after
settling in one joint or muscle for a
time, leaves it and passes on to another.
The most, dangerous tendency of the
disease is to attack the heart. ’External
applications may give relief from paiu
for a time but the disease cannot he
£Hr?.d until the blood is purified. Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills are the best modi-
cane for this purpose a3 their action is
directly on the blood, making it rich,
rod and healthy. When the blood is
pure there can be no rheumatism
Mrs Ellen A. Russell, of Soutii Golf
. 7 Auburn, Me., says: “I had beeu
sick for fifteen years from impure blood,
biought ou by overwork. My heart was
weak and my hands colorless. I was
troubled with indigestion and vomiting
spells, which came on every few mouths.
I had no appetite and used to have awful
fainting spells, falling down when at

In a Manner of Speaking.
A Scotch witness was being ex-
amined as to the sobriety of the de-
fendant, and, in his anxiety not to ex-
jness an unfavorable opinion had
made so many evasive answers that
both judge and counsel became exas-
perated.
-Now. sir,” cried the judge, “answer
the question. Was he or was he not
intoxicated?”
' A weel,” said Sandy, “I wullna deny
that he was intoxicated in a manner

by that? roared the justice.

Fighting with Ards.
The Indians of the Mauritius dis-
pose of termites, or white ants, in this
manner: When they see their covered
way approaching a building, they drop
a train of syrup from this way to the
nearest nest of black ants. The first
ones that see the syrup follow it up
till they reach the termite passage
They return to their nest, and in a
few hours a black army starts out for
the white ant stronghold. With great
fury they rush into the galleries, and
in a short time entirely destroy the
enemy, and each one, on its way
home, carries a dead termite, proba-
bly to eat.

Awful Humor Eating Away Face-
Body a Mass of Sores—Cuticura
Cures in Two Weeks.
“My little daughter broke out all
over her body with a humor, and we
used everything recommended but
without results. I called in three doc-
tors, but she continued to grow worse.
Her body was a mass of sores, and her
little face was being eaten away. Her
ears looked as if they would drop off.
Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura
Soap and Ointment, and before I had
used half of the cake of Soap and box
of Ointment the sores had all healed,
and my little one’s face and body were
as clear as a new-born babe’s. I would
not be without it again if it cost five
dollars, instead of seventy-five cents

that it will be able with the modern
equipment which the ship carries
to bring up from the bottom of the
sea the treasure which lies buried in
the hold of the Crayenstein, an armed
merchantman belonging to the govern-
ment of the Netherlands and wrecked
as k,ng ago as 1698. It was as late
as January of last year that Capt.
Gardiner of the treasure hunting ship
the Allred Nobel located the remains
of this ship in six fathoms of water
off Oudekraal, and at that time he
took cross bearings in order the more
accurately to localize her when he
should return with a ship equipped
lor the work of recovering the treas-
ure.
Another treasure ship, the Middle-
burg. also a Dutch vessel, has been
located by Capt. Gardiner in three
fathoms of water in Hoetjes bay. She
was loaded with bullion bars, tin, lead
and silver.
And there are still other vessels
I\ing on the bottom of the sea which
Capt. Gardiner expects to force to
yield up their hoard of precious metal.
There is the Merestein lost in Said-
liana bay off Jutton island, and which
is 1>ing in 18*/2 lathoms of water on
a rocky bottom. She carried $500,000
worth of gold ingots and $100,000 of
silver bars. It is certain that the
treasure has not so far been dis-
turbed.
The famous Dorothea, lost off the
Zulu coast, two miles east of Cape
\ idal, in verj shallow water—between
four and seven fathoms—is also to be
hunted. 1 his little steamer had on
board $3,225,000 Worth of gold, which

have stolen from the mines and con-

STUDENT MADE HIS POINT.
No Doubt the Policeman Understood
What He Meant,
W. H. Mallock, the well-known
English writer and political economist,
said at a dinner in New York, apropos
of a new definition of socialism; “I
find that definition rather confusing.
It reminds me of the young Oxford
students badinage with the poiice-
“a°’. Baid the youth late one
night, I d like to ask you a question.’
" Very well, sir.’
“ ‘Does the law permit me to call
you an ass?’
«. Z°U m°Ve 0n’’ the offlcer growled.
But stop a bit,’ continued the
youth. ‘Does the law permit me to
cad an ass a policeman?’
7Jhe la™ don,t say nothing about
that, was the gruff repiv.
“ Th7n’’ said the youth’ ‘good night,
Mr. Policeman.’”

Dr. John F. Goucher, president of

; lege.
