ANCIENT UPSALA.
A Canal Journey to Sweden's Principal
University Town.

University Town.
One fine morning we started for
Upsala, chief university town Of
Sweden. There are two WAYS of reach
ing it from Stockholm-by train or by
canal; but the latter journey is pleas
anter and more characteristic. Like
the passage up the Gotha canal, this
other canal route is unique of its kind
and distinctively peculiar to Sweden.
1t gives one the delightful sensation
of new experience-a sensation that
grows rare and yet more rare with time
and travel You distinctly feel when
going up the Upsala canal that you are
in a new world-are doing something
you never did before and will probably
not find in any other country.
Every one talks of the Gotha canal,
every one does it; few ever think of the
Upsala canal or dream of doing it.
Most people choose train in preference
to boat. 1t is more quickly over, and
the sooner they get to Upsala the bet
ter. Yet the journey was almost more
enjoyable than the journey up the
Gotha canal. 1t was very different,
less important; there was no golden
haired lady on board to dazzle us with
her charms and divide our attention
with passing scenes; there were no mid
night experiences on dark, mysterious
lakes, no walks under the stars through
avenues Of splendid beeches. But there
was the pleasure of the unexpected.
We had heard nothing of the canal
journey; its praises had not been sung
as those of the Gotha. Anticipating
little, we received much. There was
no ceremony, no preparation; no
troublesome hours for meals long
drawn out. Best of all, there was no
tourists. With the exception of few
pleasant Swedes, we had it to ourselves.
There were more second class passen-
gers, but they were forward on lower
deck and were rather an advantage
than otherwise. One could see them,
and study human nature from an edifv-
inc elevation. They were quiet and in
no way interfered with any one. The
boat calls at many stations, and they
were bound to one or other business.
Conspicuous and out of place among
them was lady, conquettishly dressed,
with tight-ftting kid gloves and lace
parasol She asked questions the
whole time, took down answers, looked
about her, consulted Baedeker, and
was evidently writing guide book on
her own account 1t ought to have
been intelligent by reason of her ex-
preston and manner; exhaustive from
the amount of pains she took to gather
information. She was travelling under
the protection of an attentive husban d,
who seemed very proud of her; sharp
ened her pencils, referred to her book,
held her parasol, generally fetched and
carried for her, like any gallant of high
degree. He was evidently very much
her inferior, but badly as nature had
matched them they were devoted
pair.-ArgoSy.

A MExICAN'S SHRINE.

The Poetic Tradition Connected With the,
Church of the Virgin of Guadalupe.
Guadalupe is the hottest shrine in,
Mexico. 1t is the scene of tradition
that is never doubted for an instant by
the people. In 1881 the Virgin APP
peared one evening to poor peon,
Juan Diego, and told him to go to some
wealthy man and say it was her will
that a church be built on that spot
The Indian in a great fright obeyed her
command, but the wealthy fellow re-
fused to put credence in the incredulous
story, so the peOn returned and told the
Virgin, who was still there, of his fail
ure. She told him to return and show
his tilma (apron) us proof The amazed
fellow did so, and the light disclosed
the picture of the Virgin painted on the
apron. Still the unbeliever doubted,
and the Virgin sent for the third time
bunch of fresh roses, such as never
before grew in this country. The inf
del took the flowers, and the picture of
the Virgin fell from the heart of u rose.
He was convinced, and built large
church on the spot where the Virgin
appeared.
The church is fine one, decorated
with statues, paintings and gold. The
silver railing weighs twenty-siX tons,
and is composed of metal composite.
The church authorities have received
numerous offers for this rich relic.
Some persons desired to replace the
railing with one of solid silver, but this
ha ysrniO ansnNtpI l1iAnA'S
apron is above the altar in a frame.
On it is painted picture of the Virgin,
but, to say the very least. it was not
drawn by masters hand, The bunch
of roses, which, they claim, never
fades, is also shown in glass vase,
and is gazed on with reverence by the
believers.
1t is the common belief that any,
thing asked of the Virgin of Guadalupe
is granted. have seen people pray
with their hands outstretched, and
after awhile murmur, Gracious, gra-
cious," and get up as if the favor had
been received. Women oft-times
kiss the floor when they think they
have received mercy at the hands of
their dear saint. Near the door are
hundreds of rude oil paintings repre-
senting scenes in which the Virgin has
saved the lives of people. One man
fell from a second-story window, and
by murmuring the Virgins name es-
capped uninjured Another was not
crushed to death, although his horse
fell on him. One was released from
prison, many from fatal sickness, and
hundreds of canes and crutches in the
corner testify to the many who have
been healed.
A little green plaza, filled with tall
trens, beautiful flowers and flowing
fountains, separates the Church of the
Virgin of Guadalupe from another,
which, in order to have some attrac-
ton, boasts of well in the vestibule,
which is ever boiling up its muddy
water. The water cures any disease.
so they say, and at any time crowd is
found around its magic brim filing
jars, bottles and pitchers to take home,
or supping from the copper bowl that
is chained to the iron bars that cover
the well. Very few can suppress the
look of disgust when they try to swal-
low the vile stuff with the all-healing
qualities. Cor. Pittsburgb Dispatch

MAYA RELICS.
Some Interesting Discoveries Ma ie in Gem
trail America and Mexico.

some Interesting Discoveries Ma lie in Cen.
trail America and Mexico.
Prof. Desire Charnay, whose ex-
plorations and discoveries among the
antiquities of Central America and
Mexico have made him famous, has but
recently returned from another visit of
exploration to Yucatan. Speaking of
his work there, he said:
After leaving Hamal l went On
journey of exploration, and on the
north of Valadolid, in the oriental part
of the peninsula, l discovered new
ruined city, previously entirely I'M
known and never before visited by any
body. 1t was called the City of Elk
Balam, which means the City of the
Black Tiger. This city gives US an il
lustration of the last epoch of civiliza-
ton among the Indians, which was not
known at all and which we were ig-
noring entirely, an epoch of civilization
always the same as the preceding
ones-which must have lasted from the
year 1880, or about that, to the time of
the arrival of the Spaniards, 1925 to
1927. This city also gives us the proof
that all the lost cities that were seen
by the Spaniards were exactly the same
as the cities of the interior, which
are still existing, only they were
not built so strongly They be-
longed to the epoch of decadence, and
it was easy to recognize and explain.
The country was divided at this time
into many small provinces, often SO
small as to be composed simply of the
city occupied by Il chief-or cacique.
These petty caciques did not have the
means to build such splendid and dur
able ediiices as were in UXmal, Kabah
and Chichen. They could only initiate
and measurably reproduce them in
meaner proportions and in cheaper
material That was very evident.
There was here no more of those large
projecting stone cornices Those here
were small The friezes here were not
decorated by carving, but only painted
white -merely 2 dead flat white, in
stead of the beautiful bas reliefs in the
richer cities. And instead of sculp-
tured stone lintels such rs are found
in many cities, there was here only
wood, not in large pieces, and often
rough as it came out of the forest. So,
the existence of an epoch of decadence
is very evident, and the disappearance
of those cities, though more modern
than the ancient ones | have named, is
quite natural, because they were not SO
solidly built.
Il have also found there the first
Maya cemetery that was ever dis
covered by explorers. From my exca-
vations there l have taken, and have
already sent home to France, many
curious and most interesting things
that 60 far to sustain my theory as to
the newness of the civilization there.
The most ancient cities probably date
| from the Eleventh or Twelfth century,
and the last ones were still being
builded at the time of the arrival of
the Spaniards. Among the things l
found in that cemetery were pottery,
axes and utensils of copper and bronze,
and other objects of use and adorn-
ment in stone. There were also beau
tifully made toys, representing small
animals, that were doubtless put into
the graves of children. IN 7. Sun.

THE GOLDEN ROSE.
The Solemn Ceremonies Connected With
Its Benediction by the Pope.

The Solemn Ceremonies Connected With
Its Benediction by the Pope.
The receipt by the Queen Regent of
Spain Of the Pope's golden rose has led
y curious writer to put together the fol-
lowing particulars concerning the
flower: The first of these roses were
simple flowers of red enamel, repre-
senting the natural color of the rose.
Later the color of the rose was left
white, and Il large ruby was put in the
center. the reflection from which gave
the petals red tint. Innocent XII, had
golden rose made which weighed
over eight pounds, was ornamented
with several sapphires, and represented
a value of over 10000 francs. Alex
ander VII ordered one rose at 5000
francs and another at 1900 francs.
Lately the golden rose has been
worth over 10000 francs, and
has taken the form of branch
with several flowers, natural rose,
which has been blessed by the Pope,
forming the center. OF this kind is
the rose which the Queen Regent of
Spain has just received. 1t is planted
in magnificent silver gilded vase,
which is splendid example of Roman
workmanship. The rose itself is said
to be a symbol of the Creator; the
splendor and richness of the metal
represent the eternal light which sur
rounds the Divine, and the perfume
and spices, which are placed in the
vase by the Pope, symbolic the glory
and resurrection of Christ. The bene-
dction of the rose is a solemn cere-
mony. The Holy Father, in his sacred
robes, reads the formula of the bene-
diction from book which is held by
Bishop Two other Bishops holding
candles stand by his side. The high
dignitaries of the Papal Court sur
round the Pontlff, holding the incense,
the holy water, the spices and other
perfumes. Another dignitary, kneel-
ing, presents the rose to the Pope, who
reads the prayers, blesses the incense,
the spices and the perfumes, which are
in turn presented to him by q Cardi-
nal. After putting them into the vase
which holds the rose, the golden rose
is blessed, and the ceremony ends. -

THE KOOTENAI INDIANS.
Contrasts in Morals and Manners of Some
OF the British Columbia Aborigines.

Contrasts in Morals ana Manners OF Some
OF the British Columbia Aborigines.
1t is the end of my first Sunday here.
We have just been to the Indians wor-
ship. They are Roman Catholics, be-
cause | think. they like the pictures of
the saints, the ceremonies and the
priests care. Their worship was a
surprise to us and an education. These
Kootenais are confessedly the lowest
aud filthiest of the fish-eating Indians,
but it is marvel to see how they rise
above nature in worship. No civilized
congregation presents such contrasts.
The darkened windows of the painted
chapel, the vapor and odor of the in
cense, the chants, the simple cere-
monies and the rapt attention of the
worshipers mGterialized for US the
ghost of Chateaubriand. We breathed
again the sentimental atmosphere of
'Atala' and The Genius of Christi
anity."
Leon Faucet, the priest, is shrewd
and devout French Jesuit. As he ex-
pressed it, he has ruled these Indians
with main de fer. His name, through
out this region, is feared and respected
as if it were the name OF q demi-god.
They have many stories OF his miracu
lous paralyzing of arms raised to strike
him and of sudden dumbness Selling
tongues that dared to profane in his
presence. His laws form a code which
penetratcs all details of their simple
savage life.
Their religion is strife and a COM
promise between the principles of right
and their savage education. Iremem-
Der at our first encounter, when | had
TO treat with them for canoe transport
tation for myself and party, that the
negotiations lasted from two in the
afternoon until noon the next day
Then they were broken off, and had to
be renewed from other points of attack,
and when at last concluded, the sum
agreed for was less than that at first
proposed. We thought we knew the
Kootenai river pretty well, but when
they set out with us, one in each canoe,
with two paddlers, they took us through
miles of unknown Waterways, over
sluggish bayous and inlets we had never
heard of, finally striking the crooked
river again at an angle which had saved
leagues of travel and shortening the
journey by hours. Then we saw the
business of their bargain. We agreed
that we knew of no Christian white
man whom we would think capable of
such mercantile proprety. But on the
outskirts of one little settlement we
passed a moveless figure, an old wom-
an crouched forward, her arms about
her shins. her head between her knees.
She stirred not nor looked as we fitted
by her, although an outstretched paddle
would have touched her. By her side
were food and drink. l asked my
nearest Indian what she did there! He
grunted in reply a gutteral word which
translated means ITO die" These two
incidents suggest the Indians religion.
There are two clans or towns Of
Indians, the Upper and the Lower
Kootenais, about 475 in all. They have
never made n treaty with the Omitted
States. and never received aid from th'
