THE FEATHERED SERPENT.
Tho ResaTmcr who Developed the Civili-
zatIon of the Toltecs.


In this spot, so rich in archaeological
wealth, man Is known to have lived for
more than / 800 chronicled years, and how
long previously none can tell. writes
Fannie B. Ward from Tua, Mexico, to the
philadelphia Record. Tradition says that
at Tula the great culture hero, Quetzal-
coatl (the "Feathered Serpent W, de-
veloped the civilization that raised the
Toltecs so far above the level of their
neghbors.
On the face OF nearby cliff his face
is sculpturod. and in the market place Of
Tula may be seen his image carved on
massive pillar unearthed from Toll
lantzngo ancient Tollen or Tula.
Close by is the famous "Hill
of Shouting" whsreon Quetzalcoatl
proclaimed his mandates over the entire
valley. Tho Toltecs had lived in Tula
nearly one hundred years when he first
appeared among them, which would make
his advent about the year 200. He was
beneticent deity, who took upon himself
the shape Of a man in order to improve
the condition of the people Of thelearth-a
sort of Toltec Christ. His name is con-
structed from the words quetzal, kind
OF brilliant plumage found in the forests
OF Southern Mexico, and coatl, a serpent
also found in the same latitude. Tradition
paints him as a very tall white man, with
long, full blonde beard, a perfect Euro
pean in complexion and general appear
ance, as different from the Indians among
whom he lived as can possibly hs
imagined.
His stay marked the golden age of the
Toltecs. Here he built those famous
palaces of silver, crystal and feathers, and
here were the celebrated gardens in which
cotton grew in various colors, ready dyed
for thu loom--scnrlet, green, red, blue and
yellow. In his time corn grew SO large
that a single ear was all that a man could
carry. Gourds were "a long as q mans

tions. He taught the people many useful
urts-how TO cutthat precious green stone,
tho chalchinite, how to cast metals, to
reckon time, etc.
Some say that ne was native Of the
East and came from over the ocean. In.
deed, nearly every nationality on earth
has been claimed for him, from Egyptian
TO Irish.

II is significant fact that most Of the
women who have achieved fame in art, lit
erature, or "affairs, have enjoyed vigorous
health. This shows that the mind Is never
capable of the severe and continued applica-
ton necessary to creative work, unless the
body is at its best. The woman who aspires
10 fill an exalted place among her associ-
ates must be free from nervous debility and
female weaknesses. DIR. Pierce's Favorite

monies which are indispensable to health.
