Will Travel la Moral Wagoa Hlddea Seerces Will Be Fathosned Sack the Eastern Mystics Have Leaned oa Tibet e Lefty Heichta. Elisha Lane of Denver has just started out on an expedition so novel that the paltry quest of Diogenes for an honest man is child's play compared with it Mr. Lane's mission is "to wrest from nature her secrets," and he philosophic ally proposes to go about this task by "putting himself in harmony with na ture." To this end he has had built a bouse wagon in which he will travel from Denver clear through to southern Cali fornia, halting by the way wherever the lisp of leaves, the brawl of mountain streams or the soughing of winds in primeval forests seems to be telling the secret of which he longs to beoome pos- This latest seeker after truth will not, however, travel alone. Be will be ac companied by his wife and three little children, aged 6 years, 8 years and 10 months, respectively. The itinerant home for this family cost f 760, and it will be drawn by two horses. It is 13 feet long, 6 feet wide and 0 feet high, and is made of pine boards 2i inches wide and three-quarters of an inch thick, placed vertically. Under the driver's seat is a tool box, the space beneath the body of the wagon is to be used for storing household goods, and at the rear is a feed box for the horses. The entrance is at the rear through a door of polished oak with glass panels, and the interior is quite in keeping with this handsome entrance. Tbe floor is handsomely carpeted, the portieres are hung on bronze rods, the walls and ceiling are artistically pa pered and the two windows, 20 by 24 inches each, are provided with dainty lace curtains. Across the front end of the wagon an oak seat runs which becomes the sup port for the head of a bed, whioh is re leased by a spring from its position in the wall A bed similarly devised is at the left of the door. By careful economy in space this room also contains a tiny chiffonier, a plate glass mirror, a washstand, a fold ing writing table with drawers and pigeonholes, and a stove, the ashes of which will be dropped to the ground through a sort of funnel. Every detail of this conveyance was planned by Mr. Lane himself, who is a man of about 81 years and a watchmak er by trade. He was born in Bowling Green, Ky. He married Miss Carrie MacFarland of Leavenworth, Kan., and lived in Kansas City until July last, when he removed to Denver. In appear ance Lane bears a striking resemblance to Schlatter. He is entirely self educat ed, not to say uneducated, for by his own confession only two years ago he was unable to read Shakespeare with any appreciation of his meaning. The sum total of bis philosophy as ex pressed by him is: "I claim that there is some secret force, some hidden power in nature, which men have not discov ered. A few men have caught faint gleams of this occult force, and thereby they have become wise beyond their generation. Luther was one of these men and Schlatter is another. To gain this knowledge a man must follow na ture, and it is for that reason that I al low my hair and beard to grow. When I reach the mountains, I shall hope to touch that higher state which has en abled the adepts of India in Tibet to ao quire their mystic power." In order to sustain the material man on the way to the wellsprings of "Hid den Truth," Mr. Lane will halt from time to time in mining camps and in small towns, and take heed of time by mending watches and selling eyeglasses.

There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed bo highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, tbat it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without- debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene ficial effects, to note when you pur chase, that you have the genuine arti cle, which is manufactured by the Cali fornia Vig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed.

Scott of Port Towns bend, Wash., at a social gathering the other evening discovered very unexpect edly that he was about to become his own father. The subject of General Har rison's' approaching wedding was being ditcussed with a party of friends when tome one asked Judge Scott if that would not somewhat complicate and tangle np the limbs on the family tree. For a moment the question somewhat stunned the gentleman, and then the party commenced to try to solve the matrimonial problem, and the deeper, they went into the subject the more , mystified they became, and finally it was given np as an unfathomable tangle. Several of the notes made and calcula tions formed were preserved and given to tbe press. Of the existing relationship Judge Soott is fully informed. It was in trying to locate the limb of his own family tree after the wedding shall have taken place that he became confused. After several hours of deep mental exercise he arrived at these conclusions: "I am now Gen eral Harrison's brother-in-law, and Mrs. Dimmick, his prospective bride, is my niece. After they are married my brother-in-law will become my nephew, and my niece, consequently, will become my sister-in-law. Then, of course, I will become my own brother-in-law, and also, my niece's brother-in-law. Now," slowly continued tbe philosophical rea soner, delving Into the future a little deeper, "if this contemplated union should be productive of a claimant for tbe ancestral hat, he will be my nephew, and also my grandnephew. I will be his uncle aud his grandunole. Whew, " ejaculated tbe judge, as he wiped tbe perspiration from his brow, "that will complicate matters. Just see here. Now, in order to be uncle and grandunole to one and tbe same person, it must neces sarily follow that I am my own father, and oh, hang tbe whole thing any how, I am not going to rack my brain over other people's troubles," and np jumped the judge, somewhat exasper ated. Tbe logical result of tbe union was quite astonishing; the judge and the guests sat down to figure it out again, arriving at the same conclusion. Then some one ascertained that General Har rison would become bis own nephew and a cousin of bis own son, should one be born, and who will, also, be a second oousin to his own brother and his fa ther's nephew. At this point the mental exercise subsided, Judge Scott agreeing to furnish a palatable beverage if his guests would keep inviolate the secret. But it leaked out, and has been given to the press. St. Louis Globe-Democrat . PREHISTORIC INDIANS. Bemalns of Remarkable Base of Men Found In Florida. Early in December Frank Hamilton Cashing of the bureau of American eth nology of the Smithsonian institution ; Wells M. Sawyer, an artist and photog rapher of the art department of the United States geological survey, and Carl F. W. Bergman, museum expert of the United States National museum, completed arrangements to viBit Flori da, with tbe intention of making an in vestigation of the Shell keys and ancient reef settlements of Charlotte harbor, and the very interesting mounds at Na ples, about ISO miles south of Tampa. A camp was established at Fin ley's Hammock, or Hope Grove, a few miles north of the Anclote river, where, under the direction of Mr. Sawyer, a number of interesting discoveries were made. In tbe mounds the burials were nu merous, and although some hundreds of such burials were encountered the re mains were so affected by age as to ren der it almost impossible to preserve them. By very careful treatment a large collection of skulls and other portions of skeletons, interesting for study, were secured. Tbe skulls are in many respects remarkable, possessing features tbat are apparently unusual. This is especially the case in reference to tbe great nar rowness of the temporal regions, the massive development of the jaws and the prominence of the brows. A study of this collection will probably definite ly decide to what group of Indians these people were allied. All of tbe remains are prehistoric. The find ia necessarily large on account of their peculiar burial customs. A re markably representative collection of all of their various arts of life in pottery, stone and bone implements and orna ments was found. IN A SMALL BOAT.

He says he is the only man wbo ever made the entire passage across the Atlantic in a small boat absolutely alone. Captain Freitch now proposes to build another boat in Milwaukee to sail down the' Mississippi; thence, after crossing the isthmus of Panama, to steer for Mel bourne, thence to Sydney, to Bombay, to Aden, on Suez canal, along tbe Medi terranean to Franoe, to Paris, to London and to New York. Chicago Tribune. Echoes From Bones Skulls. Those curious twists and turns super stitions take are to be found in the in troduction of horses' skulls in or about the church buildings in England and Scotland, the reason alleged being to help the sound in church. This habit is unquestionably a relio of heathenism where an animal was sacrificed. Some years ago, when an old meeting house in Edinburgh was pulled 1 down, tbe sounding board spaoe above ' the pulpit was found to be filled with 1 horses' skulls. In some parts of England there still exists the idea that if a horse's head is buried in a field there will be an echo ! Pick Me Up. General Grant's Prediction.

Old ead Teaeg Mingle Tocethar and Are ' Happy No Tiresome Adranea Pre para- 1 ttea of Food-How Fish Are Captured aad Cooked For the Banquet. Of all piotnresque sights a Malay pio lio is one of the prettiest. With the first lawn ot morning tbe start ia made. Nothing as yet can be seen distinctly. A few saffron arrows of liRht are thrown up in the eastern horizon, and distant mountain heads begin to glow. Simul taneously a stir arises in the village, tnd gaping villagers of all ages begin to Issue out from their graceful atap bouses and make toward the place of rendez vous. By the time the party has gather ed, some 20 minutes, the horizon seems to explode, a wide rush of orange light spreads near and far, and the great hot ran cornea np, panting. Then follows the most delicious hour of tbe day. A hundred hues of green are brought out into shining relief, every dewy leaf be comes a prism in which rainbows float. The juugle life awakeus iuto its morn ing psalm, brilliant birds twitter and coo together seeking the early bug, gor geous butterflies come forth to dry their spangled wings on leafy shrubs, while far in the jungle often tbe hoarse, gut tural, fearsome growl of the Malayan tiger sounds bass to tbe chorus. Tbe picnickers are now under way. Before them is a march of six or seven miles through virgin juugle and open spaces of country. That will consume some two or three hours. Some of the females are mounted upon elephants if there are any well to do families in tbe village. They sit very gracefully on their lofty mounts and enjoy the ride, if we may judge from their faces and frequent peals of laughter. Most of the party is afoot. They are in holiday cos tume. A finely woven sarong of cotton or silk forms the lower garment of men and women alike. The sarong is many hued and the most graceful of gar ments. It consists of a piece of material of suitable leugth sewed together at the side, both ends being open. Tbe npper end, in wearing, is tucked neatly and tightly together with tbe hand and held securely around tbe waist by a belt Sometimes these krosangs, or belts, are richly jeweled and worth as much as 2,000 silver dollars. But wo shall not see that sort at a picnic The upper garment of men aud women alike is a cloth or cotton jacket (kabaia). In stead of buttons tbe women use for fas tenings a number of gold or silver brooches. The men largely affect braes buttons. Over this jacket the females wear another sarong, which is made to meet over the head, and serves the damsel as a shade, and when she pleases as a veil. Tbe feet of all are protected by a kind of wooden sandal. All these garments are loose, are a poem for harmony of colors, aud there is no fold that does violence to beauty and grace. This is a poor enough picture of our picnic party, or 70 or 100 Malay men, women, boys and girls passing, joking and laughing along their pleas ure way. The braves carry some spears and parangs, in case a tiger or leopard molest The fair bear along a little rice and curry spice. The bulk of provisions tbey trust Tuban Allah to provide at tbe picnio ground. "How very nice," I hear tbe gentle lady reader say. "Why, preparation of meats and pies and con fections, you know, is such a bother." Our outing party now feel that they have gone far enough and tbey may halt, no matter just where for every where is lovely so long as they are in tbe vicinity of a mountain and its water pools. So a pool is chosen as one likely to contain in its black depths a suf ficiency of good, fat fish. The men at once prepare fo dynamite this pool, or else throw the fish paralyzing tuba root into the water. Then 20 men leap into the pool, while a number of women are stationed at tbe shallow and lower end to catch the escaping finny tribe. Ah, no big fish are caught I Tbey must be lying dead or benumbed at the bottom of the pool. And now the boldest swim mers dive in and far down. They search the bottom, tbey even thrust their hands into the water filled caves of tbe rocky sides. One by one the divers come pant ing up. Some of them grasp in each hand a great, shining, silvery fish. What luck I Two fish at a time, each 10 or 15 pounders. Then the stolid Malay relaxes, be shouts, he praises Allah, and the whole camp becomes a scene of rejoic ing, as the spoil is flung alive into the pot of already boiling water, or squirms grilling, roasting, frying, on ground fires kindled by boys and girls as the prey was being taken. Rice is also pre pared, and before long the whole party is seated around tbe green banquet board, enjoying fish as you like it and curry and rioe such as only the Malay house wife can concoct Tbe joysome meal finished, the party betakes itself to smok ing, obewing betel and telling stories, under all of which influences it is not surprising that the next scene is a gen eral siesta, whioh lasts till about 8 o'clock, when the old man of the party wisely observes it is getting late and it is time to be starting back. Night must not overtake them, or they may meet Stripes or Spots, out also for a pionio, and vastly preferring fresh meat to fish. New $ork Independent. lngalls In a Fuss.

Frederick Nicholas Crouch, the com poser of "Kathleen Mavourntn," Is dying In Baltimore In poverty. Tbe old man's mind Is gone and he raves about the coronation of William IV., the cu pidity of music publishers, his old tri umphs and troubles. Hundreds of tbeu snnds of people who have been moved to tears by the recltnl of his famous song will be amazed to learn that Its composer Is alive. For It Is on old song and is Involuntarily referred back to years long since dead. But It was a (lassie before It bad become old and will remain a living power In the realm of feeling until human nature is essential ly changed. The poem Itself wns not written by Mr. Crouch. It was first published In an English magazine. Here it was that Crouch saw it That wns In 1837, when the musician was but 10 years of age. Those are the verses: Kathleen Mavoumeen! The gray dawn is breaking, Tbe horn of tbe hunter 1b heard on the hill; - Tbe lark from her light wing the bright dew Is shaking Kathleen Mavourneen! WbatI Slum bering still? Oh, hast thou forgotten how soon we must sever? Oh, hast thou forgotten this day we must part It may be for years and it may be forever. Oh, why art thou silent, thou voice of my heart? Kathleen Mavourneen! Awake from thy Blum hern I The blue mountains glow In the sun's golden light; Ahl Where is the spell that once hung on my numbers? Arise in thy beauty, thou star of my nightl Mavourneen, Mavourneen, my sad tears are falling, To think that from Erin and thee I must part; It may be for years and it may be forever, Then why art thou silent, thou voice of my heart? Crouch wrote out his melody and of fered It to a firm of music sellers, wbo paid him in hand Just 5. They took the piece and coined money with It. Edition after edition was sold and the song swept over the world.

Among the curiosities of the Russian dominions Is a group of communes In the government of Smolensk, surround ing the convent of Besjukow, where not only do women vote, but where they practically do all the voting and offloo boldlng. As the returns from agriculture are very meager in the district, and there are large towns not far away, the male Inhabitants of tbe Besjukow neighbor hood emigrate to these towns early In spring to find work, leaving few but women and children at home, and not coming borne to attend to the little mat ter of voting. Inasmuch as the women have to do all the farm work as well as the lioiwo work In this singular community, It does not seem strange that they rather Insist upon holding the offices, and not assigning them to such old men as may be about. Futhermore, It Is said that they have for a period of several years managed all the public affairs of the Besjukow district so well that the men are quite content to abandon tbe tedi ous work of government to them, Sometimes, when the "head woman" of the Joint communes Is presiding over a public assembly of women to pass upon Important financial and other con cerns, certain of the men have been known to come home for the purpose of merely looking on and admiring the method of procedure or else of hearti ly felicitating fhemselves upon being rid of so bothersome a duty.
