A little boy about four years old.
living in a New Jersey town, ran to
the window one evening lately during
heavy thunderstorm. As he looked
out, long, glittering lines of forked,

sky, then came broad flash, lighting
up all the west and northwest. ooh,

fellow, Gods house is all on fire!

MU M MlFlED AZTECS.
Strange Discovery Made by Two Miners In

Strange Discovery Made by Two Miners In
New Mexican Tomb.
There is a stir in scientific circles
over the advent of five mummified
Aztecs supposed to have been buried
six hundred years. The group com
prses two men, two women and child.
They were discovered some months
ago by two miners, Dasty and Morris,
in a hermetically sealed cave in the
canyon of the ella river, on the boun-
Diary line between Arizona and New
Mexico. The miners were prospecting,
and noticed IL place closed by human
hands. They questioned the Indians,
who declined to give any information,
and were opposed to any exploration.
Watching their chances, the prospec-
tors removed the distractions to the
cave. Huge powders, bound by excel
lent cement, had to be pred out of
place. A search for treasures was I'M
successful, but twenty feet from the
mouth of the cave they found an Aztec
mummy in sitting posture, the legs
bent up after that custom of the race.
hc hdhNS NoIc lOiueu over lne breast
in the posture of alteration, facing
toward the East. A further search re-
vealcd other bodies. A mother and
child were nesting together in low
ing embrace. The bodies were re-
moved to this city. They are in excel
lent preservation, not dlsemboweled,
and were evidently mumrified natu-
rally. The skin is tanned. The women
retain their long, flowing silken hair
Measurements by DIR. Paolo de Vecchi,
OF Turin University, and DR.. G. M.
Richter, of Berlin, conform to the his
torieal descriptions of the Aztecs, and
the general appearance and mode of
burial and the surroundings identify
the mummies with the ancient race.
The bodies were covered with highly
colored clothes, which crumbled on en-
posture. Three kinds were saved, two
OF coarse material and one a deep
blue, woven in diamond shapes. No
implements or utensils were found.
All the Consuls here and many scientific
men inspected the mummes recently.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Suggestive for the Countless Owners OF
Small Pocket-Books.

Suggestive for the Countless Owners OF
Small Pocket Books.
A white bed-spread, costing the small
amount of $1.20. was made last week
by clever little housekeeper and is
pretty enough to warrant description.
The material used was five yards OF
white curtain scrim of very open pat
tern, costing seven cents a yard. 1t
was joined down the center by an in.
sertion of Torchon lace, two and half
yards, at five cents yard, and bor-
dered with a three-inch wide flouncing
of the same lace at six cents yard
The top and sides were edged, not the
bottom, and nine yards were required.
Five yards of blue paper muslin to
place under the spread cost fifteen
cents, and it looks as well as many
engaged in making similar spread
for another bed, with the exception
of the lace. In its place will be a
founce of the scrim, and wlh pillow
shams to match the cost viii be but
seventy cents.
Every one who dislikes mosquitoes
can not afford a canopy and netting,
but an excellent substitute for one is a
plain piece of netting costing about
forty cents. To arrange this over the
bed take a strong cord. fasten it at the
center OF top of the beds head with a
small tack. and again at the foot; place
similar pieces at the sides, and over
these drape the net 1t may be rolled
up during the daytime, and will be
found as comfortable and secure against
mosquitoes as any canopy.
Another arrangement for beds with
low head-boards is made as follows:
Take common child's hoop, cover the
top with netting, fasten it with strong
thread, then sew the long pieces to it,
Enough should be used to 60 once and
quarter about the bed and the length
be about six or seven feet. Then take
six strong pieces of tape and cross the
top of the hoop. These should be
about two feet longer than the hoop
and caught in the center with a strong
loop. Fix screw hook in the ceiling
NitCSbi1 ONCl CCuitI VI IHt
and up the canopy and drape it about
the bed, letting it touch the floor. The
widths of netting should not be sewn
together, but Tapped over about a quar-
ter of yard. This will prevent the
mosquitoes entering and give an en-
trance and exit.
An ice-box is one of the necessities
of life, and yet there are many families
who can not afford one. A home made
ice-box was made last week. A large
box was purchased for twenty cents,
and this was lined with strong oil
cloth, hole being bored in the bottom
for the water to run out This was set
up on four square pieces of wood; the
top of the box was lined with oil-cloth,
tackled on as door by little hinges of
leather and fastened with strap of the
leather over a nail. The box has two
shelves. The ice is placed on the bot
tom and there is ample room for all
food. Fresh meat is only kept in it by
placing it directly on the ice. This Ice
box is washed every morning and is
considered quite gem. Its entire cost
was fifty cents. -M Y. Journal

TOOLS OF THE ANCiENTS.
Hardened Copper Employed In the Max.
Ing of thisels and Axes.

Ing of thisels and Axes.
Steel was unknown to the ancients
and copper was largely employed foi
the purposes which steel is now made
to serve. the art of hardening copper
being known to the mechanics of those
days. Elge tools such as chisels AMI
axes were made of this metal, and
were used, it is said, in the building q
Solomon's temple. 1t is supposed thai
the early inhabitants of America alsc
had the secret of hardening copper, as
copper tools have been found in con.
siderable number in the ruined struc.
lures of Mexico and Peru, and even the
North American Indians appear t.
have possessed the art to limited ex.
tent. A chisel found at Thebes con.
Xined "a per cent copper, SO
per cent tin and per cent
from and in the Scandina
Wan tumuli in Denmark, not only
chisels. hammers and axes, but knive.
and daggers of copper have beet
turned up. After having lain dormant
for many centuries, the art of harden.
ing copper has now, so to speak. beer
rediscovercd by citizen Of New
Jersey. who has succeeded after sev.
eral years of experiment in APPLYING a
process to copper which will give it 4
hardness nearly equal to that of steel
The cost is not great, and the metal il
fitted for many uses for which it has
not hitherto been available. 1t will
stand much longer exposure in the
electric bath than the unhardened
metal. and it is thought that it will
prove substitute for the metal now
used for bearings in journal boxes.

Spiritualisn VS.. Mind Reading ant
meSnnerIsr7.

If the deluded victims of so-caI1ed
spirituali5Iu would study and inve=ti-
gate the subject Of mind reading, as
clearly taught in phrenology and men
tai philosophy, they would fiud ready
and candid solution to many of the
seemingly strange phenomena. The
study of mesmerism, as taught and
explained in Dr. Wilford Halls "Prob-
lem of Human Life, " will throw much
light on this difficult subject.
DR.. Fowler, in his study and life
long investigation Of phrenology, is
enabled to give a correct diagnosis of
the brain-its power, texture, volume
and fol ce-and to tell almost to GER
tainty the natural and acquired chan
nels in which the mind runs, and to
read with great precision the thoughts
that rumminate in the mind. But
Fowler & Wells have founded a school,
in which any man or woman of good
natural abilities can attain. at least in
part, to that ability. Lately they have
formed partnership with Hawley &
/ OncmiIl, so as to combine the study
and demonstrations of mesmerism
with that Of phrenology.
No one Of common intelligence who
will take, read and study the weekly
journal published by Fowler & Wells,
+ of. New York, on .PhreHology and
Mcsmerisrn," " can fail to find a salts
factory solution to spiritualistic phe-
nomena. SpirituaIism, in its modern
acceptance, is blighting on intellect,
morals and religion, while phrenology
and nesIncrism is refining, elevating
and moraliziug. Spiritualism is de-
grading in that it eXcites the baser
passion Of the human heart and lowers
the standard of virtue. Phrenology is
clevating in that it exalts all the noble
/ elements Of our nature, and is the
handmade of morals and religion.
