the wont forms of aches and pains are
easily sabdned and permanently cured
by the tree ok of 8t, Jacobs Oil. No well

good reason for this is that some kinds o

SEEKS AFTER TRUTH.
DENVER WATCHMAKER TO DWELL
WITH NATURE FAR FROM CROWDS.
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.

With a better understanding of the
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef
forts gentle efforts pleasant eff orts
rightly directed. 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. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of

WILL BE HIS OWN FATHER.
Bow Jadge Scott Will Be Affected kg Xs
President Rarrlaoo'a Marriage.
Ex-President Harrison's brother-in-law,
Judge J. K. 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

Bemalns of Remarkable Base of Men

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.

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 !

AT A MALAY PICNIC.
a JOLLY DAY OF SIMPLE PLEASURES
IN THE JUNGLE.
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.

SONG OF TEARS.
Composer Who Gave It to the World
Is Now Dying In Poverty.
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.
Mr. urateoar's Advice to Philip,
"It isn't new, tbe idea of living with
in one's income," said Mr. Gratebar,
"but I am trying to impress on Philip
the importance cf beginning in his

stingy, but I do want him to save some
thing every year, without interruption,
and to begin when he is young. Begun
early and kept up continuously, it is al
most wonderful how even small savings
accumulate. There is scarcely a man
who cannot provide himself with a mod

beginning early and keeping at it.

With a stronger appetite, sounder
sleep, aud better digestion (results that
everyone has experienced who has
taken Paine's oelery compound), the
weak and sore kidneys and the tired
stomach oesse to trouble, aud the
nerves allow one to work unvexed by
day and to sleep by night without dis
turbance. This is what physicians
mean when they say that Paine's oelery
oompound cures nervous diseases per
manently. For disordered liver, and for all
blood diseases, physinians use this great
formula of Prof Edward E. Phelps,
M. D , LL D , of Dartmouth oollege
Women at the Helm.
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.
People Who Patronise Banks,
There is one savings bank here which
keeps an accurate record of tbe calling
of its depositors. During the lust year
there was only one aotor on the list,
while there were 1,302 tailors; there
was but one editor, while there were
723 laborers; there was but one board
ing house keeper and 887 peddlers.
There were lots of shoemakers, bakers;
burbors, waiters, cigar makers, but very
few musicians, liquor dealers, lawyers
or policemen. Chicago Tribune.
Not In One Instance. Anyhow.

Paine's oelery oompound. It has lifted
thomumlt from beds of sickness. It
does what nothing else ever did for the
slepptess, the dyspeptic, and the de
spondentit cures them onoa and for
all. Here is a testimonial from E. A.
Miller of Columbus, O., accompanying
tbe photograph ot his family.
"For two years past I have been a con
stant sufferer with severe nervous head
aohes, oftttuies being compelled to go
to bed, when my business necessitated
my personal attentlou. Last week my
physioian recommended Paine's oelery
oompound. I have taken now fouiv
bottles, and have not suffered witJd
headaohe sinoe. This governmenl,tn
my mind, should pay the discoverer of
Paiue's oelery oompound a sum of
money sufficient to keep him and all
bis relatives in luxury during their
natural life."
Mr. Miller is the ion of Dr. J. D.
Miller. His wife ii the granddaughter
of the late Gov. Luoaa of Ohio. Mr.
Miller's praise of Paine's celery oom
pound is equaled by that of thousands
of others wbo owe their health and
strength to this greatest of all rem
edies. (ERCIIRIAL
