UNIQUE AZTALAN. j The Only HrW-k Walled Tovrn Site Found In Tlii Country. In many respects Aztalnn, in Wiscon sin, is among the moat remarkable pre historic monuments In the northwest. It Is the only brick walled town site found In this country. It Is on the bot tom land of the Crayfish river, about two miles from Lake Mills, Tbe Inclos ing walls of the town site are about 700 feet on its flanks and about 1,000 feet long. The river served to com plete the Inclosure of seventeen acres of land. i "Within, and without the iiiclosure there are round, truncated and oblong mounds. Just beyond the inclosing walls the land Uses abruptly over" twenty feet to the rolling table lands of the surrounding country. From the bank above a stone could be tossed In to the town site within the inclosure, which would seem to be a good reason why this inclosure, which . has ' been called a fort, could not have been in tended for a defense against any hu man enemy. Along the brow of the higher land Is a row of more than thirteen round pyramidal mounds ranging from three to twelve feet in height. From the top of these mounds or standing on the table land an enemy could command the whole town site. It has always been conceded that Altaian was not Inclosed for purposes of defense. It has been supposed that it was walled for protection from wild animals, though the Inclosure has never been hlffh or abrupt enough since its .dis covery to keep out the panther, wild cat, wolf, bear.moose and buffalo, which were the only dangerous animals of the woods hereabout The purpose of its inhabitants in constructing this inclosure over a half mile long still remains a mystery. The most remarkable art of Aztalan is its brick walls and walks. In this it is singular and alone, the only example of bricklaying among all the monu ments of the mound builders. These bricks or bricklets are not rectangu lar and regular In form and size, as are the modern brick. They are simply balls of plastic clay welded by the hand into small bricklets of irregular form about the average slae of a snow ball. The material used was the glacial yellowish red clay of the vi cinity, and the color of the bricks is red or light yellow. Under the glass scrapings appear like a handful of crystal sand. Minneapolis Journal. WOMAN AND FASHION For Warm Day. The shirt waist suits continue to hold their own as prime favorites, and a pretty linen suit, such as shown in the Illustration, is desirable to have ready for warm days. It is an excellent model for separate waists; also for remodeling plain waists, as the tucked sections in front and center portion of back, which, la tucked to simulate a graduated double box plait, may be made of a contrast ing fabric. It is a most effective design for pique, or white or colored duck, lawn, otbl's liken sriT. taffeta, foulard, mohair, fine serge, cashmere, nun's veiling or albatross. Tucked sections of English eyelet embroidery form a pleasing decoration for the skirt. The fronts and sides are circular and cut in one, to give a yoke and paneled effect that is entirely new and novel. The skirt closes under dou ble box plait that falls In full and graceful folds to the fxt. The model is well adapted for use as a separate skirt; also for remodeling a close fit ting skirt, as the cut out panels per mit the use of different or contrasting materiel. Uaen Salt. The majority of linen suits this year have Ions Revere coats, relieved per haps ny a deep lace or embroidered linen collar and cuffs to match. Some few of the skirts are absolutely plain although flaring well about the feet But tucked and plaited skirts are probably more in vogue. This style of skirt may clear the ground by as much as three inches, but can be lower if so short a skirt is not becoming. The ex aggeratedly long coat Is seen, but the medium three-quarter is without nues tion smarter, fislie OCStS are tight fittiug, while others are so loose as al most to come under the heading of bo? tlC-, Th? sleeves should be on the leg of mutton order full at the shoulder, graduated slowly to a com paratively tight cuff. Summer Slips. Summer slips for the women who dislike wearing sheer blouses directly over corset cover or chemise are made of fine lawn or china silk. They are cut on the same lines as the blouse, but cut low and made without sleeves, with an edging of fine lace. They are really a sort of corset cover, only kept severely simple and bloused Just a wee bit. Have It button down the back. Hw Ihlrt Walat Denlarn. One of the most charming of the new shirt waist modes Is the surplice waist shown in the accompanying cut It has won its way into the feminine heart because of its long lines and grace giving effect. The three back ward turning tucks give breadth to the shoulders and tapering lines to the back. The stitched fold edging the surplice front is neat and effective, in .

The sleeve is unusually fetch bag, with the tiny tucks extending un der the cuff and the larger ones above. For developing the waist in the me dium size three and five-eighths yar-ja of thirty-six .inch material are re quired. HINDOO CREMATION. The Funeral Pyre nnd the Riles Be fore tlie Burning, Toward the upper end of the ghats is the burning ground. There are no stops here, but a slope of beaten dirt. Stop half an hour and you may Be every step of the cremation rites. Sit ting on stone ramparts above, to the right and left, are friends and relatives of the dead ones. The figure to the right, huddled up in a bright green wrap, is of the lowest caste of Hindoo and keeps the mat shed near by, where the sacred lire for igniting every corpse Is for sale. You hear hoarse, loud cries of "Ram! Itamana!" and, bohold, a burial procession Is coming down the slope. Four men carry the corpse slung between two bamboo poles and cry to the god Rum. lie is the peronl ficatlon of filial love, and thus it 1b meet that they should call hlni to wit ness. They swing down to the river and Immerse the corpse. It is wrap ped in a white shroud stained with red blotches. Then they lift the head slightly out of the water and remove the shroud from the face, splashing water five times upon the mouth. Others in the meantime are building a wooden pyre, made of fagots sold near by and when finished standing three feet or more above ground. The corpse, its dark color showing through the dripping shroud, is then placed on the wooden altar and covered with fagots. This done, all but two mount the ramparts and watch the final cere mony. Of tho two remaining, one pours oil upon the wood from a small clay dish, while the other goes to the fire house above. He soon returns with a long straw wisp, blazing nt one end. He advances to the corpse's head, touches it with the v.Hp and then cir cles the pyre fire times, touching the head each time until the fifth, when he places the blazing wisp beneath the feet, and the whole pile bursts into flame. When all is consumed the ashes are raked Into the river and float away to bliss eternal. F. J. O. Alsop in Out ing. Wo a Id n't Sell. She Is he an author?

Virginia St., Evansville, Ind., writes: "Forover five years I was troubled with kidney and bladder affections which caused me much pain and worry. I lost flesh and was all run down, and a year ago had to abandon work entirely. I had three of the best physicians who did me no good and I was practically given up to die. Foley's Kidney Cure was recommended and the first bottle gave me great relief, and after taking the second bottle I waa entirely cured." TWO SIZES, 50C A1TD $1.00.

People ol The Dalles Pledge Tlicm. selves to Construct Line, The people of Tho Dalles have pledg ed themselves to build sufficient rail road t'ttck to connect the portage road, the Great Southern and the city r f The Dalles, and effect a junction of the bnsi neesofall these wi" ft lin of boata operating in connection with the port age road, between Portland and Lewis ton. An independent boat line will be started in a short time, as the execu tes committee of the Open River asso ciation has been unable to make any ai rangement with Portland eteamera. At a meeting of the committee in this city final reports were made and ac counts checked up following comple tion of the portage road and its delivery to the state of Oregon. A telegram was leceived from Pre ident Seutfert and Secretaiy Meyers of The Dalles Com mercial club advising the committee of resolutions adopted at a meeting of the clvb Friday and declaring tbat the cit izens would effect a junction of the rail roads at that point. The matter will be a comparatively easy undertaking, but will require active support from all the people and business interests affected, The building of about three quarters of a mile of road from Big Eddy will con nect the portage road with the Great Southern, and construction of a mile and a ba!f of track will bring both to The Dalles. The open river committee will take an active interest in the work. The committee will at a meeting in I the near future take up the question of a boat line between Portland and Lew iston. For the last thiee weeks it has had men at work on both sides of the Columbia river between Celilo and Pas co making a canvass of the business tbat can be secured for such a boat line, and they have fouod that there wi!l be ample business to support the steamerF. i3af "sassir , WE carry a complete stock of Typewriter Desks, Ribbons, Papers, Carbons, and all supplies for all makes of machines.
