INDIANS OWN A TITAN.
Tho Great Art Treasure Hidden Away Il
n Mexican Village Church.

Tho Great Art Treasure Hidden Away In
Mexican village Church.
Tzintzuntzan was once great city
and the capital of Tarascan kings; now
only struggling village with a group
of ruined churches. I made my way
quickly to the old tower where the
Titan treasure is, the populace follow
ing in my wake Or gazing after me with
wondering eyes, says a writer in the
Toronto Globe. My carefully studied
salutation in Spanish, a handful OF
cigars and a bottle of wine soon made
the padre and myself the best OF
friends. He seemed to know before
asked him that I wanted to see the
picture and opened the high arched
door of carved wood which led to q
patio or court.
Here, seated on mats spread on the
stone paving of a pillared and arched
corridor, We're fifteen or twenty women
with their work, braiding mats and
hats or coloring feathers. AS was ex-
planned, they were doing penance.
They bowed reverently as the padre
passed. I thought ne did not look like
q hard taskmaster, and, perhaps, did
not, care how long they stayed, as his
life is lonely one at best and their pen
ance surely was not his.
A little surpliced Indian boy came
with lighted candle, the padre led the
way, and wondering little procession
followed through a corridor that led up
to another massive door, barred and
chained and padlocked. We were back
in ancient feudal days, it seemed, and
some old castle had opened to u.s. 1t
might be that the clanking chains and
rusty, creaking hinges were ON our.
prison doors, but the boy held the
tallow dip high, and showed the PADRES
kindly face that treasured us that we
were only at Tzintzuntzan in search Of
Titan.
The door opened into an inner room
.as.dark as night. The padre unfastened
grated window and flood Of golden
sunlight came from over the western
hills beyond the lake and fell upon the
picture. Such coloring, such feeling
could only come from a master hand.
Whose? Tradition says Titan, and pre-
scented by Philip II. Of Spain. Eminent
men, authors and artists agree. We
had seer the Titan at Tzintzuntzan,
and it was worth the coming for.
The padre closed the window and the
door after us, lockeda and chained it
again, the boy held up his Pickering
torch and we marched out, leaving the
padre and his treasures as a. dream too
unreal to be true. An effort has been
made to buy the painting, and fifty
thousand dollars We're offered by the
bishop of Mexico but the faithful, de-
voted Indians refuse, and the price that
bought ''1]ae Angelus" would be NO
temptation ''The Entom bment'' is
some hundreds Of years older, is the
work of an old master and is big
enough (the figures are all life size) to
make hundred of ''The Angelus.'

An Electrical Baton.

One Of the latest applications of cleo.
tricity is policeman's club that con-
tains a galvanic battery. When the
rowdy seizes the club, thinking to wrest
it from the policeman, the rowdy re-
ceives an electric shock which aston
tshes and paralyzes him, rendering his
capture easy.

Strange Capture of a Deer.


In England, it is no uncommon thing
for hunted deer to enter buildings. Last
year, stag that was being run by
Lord Rothschild's hounds, says the
Times, crossed the orchard of Mr..
George, in Woburn Sands, and dashed
Through the dining-room window,
where Mrs. George was Sitting. She
flung open the hall door, to let out the
visitor, but he rushed into the drawing.
room, and, placing his fore-foot on 8
lounge, looked out upon the street.
Then, hearing the hounds, and the
shouts of the hunters, he fed to the
kitchen, and attempted to break his
way through rear window, but the
sash held him fast, and the men came
in and captured him.

TR,UMPHS OF SURGERY.

SkiIfuI Scientific Operations Whereby
Stupid People Acquire More Sense.
The surgical operation reported in a
paragraph from the Pail Mall Gazette
finds q parallel running III the other d.
rection, SO TO speak, in New York case.
says the Evening Post of that city. The
Paris surgeon opened a childs skull
which .had closed too early, hindering
thereby Che proper development of the
brain, and by this means secured proper
brain enlargement with a corresponding
increase Of Intelligence. In the New
York case the skull (of an adult) never
had closed, and the brain without nor
NAL protection was affected to the point
OF clearly deficient intelligence. The
subject was e. young woman, a house
servant OF good character and DISPOSE
tion, but stupid and inefficient, despite
her evident desire to do we'll. Upon be-
ing discharged from the service for this
cause she was for a time with her sister,
then employed in a hospital. While
there engaged in such work as she could
perform her liability to headaches OF
great severity and the pain occa"
stoned by any work requiring
stopping posture were noticed
by one of the house physicians,
who in 81 leisure time thought fit enc
day to examine her head. This resulted
in the discovery Of q persisting fontanal
OF aperture between the cranial bones,
thing not unheard Of in adults, but
rare enough to excite the attention OF
the hospital physicians, to whom there
upon the girl became an object Of sud-
den interest. They worked upon her
with enthusiasm and succeeded in ef'
fecting the proper closure. Now the
point of the story is that thus furnished
she assumed her proper brightness and
returned to her former service, where
she became one of the most accom-
plished of house1naids, uniting to her
old conscientiousness and willing effort
a retentive memory, power Of provision,
great capacity for quick learning--in
short, remarkable degree of general
intelligence. We do not give the name
of the hospital for fear lest the physi-
clans may be overrun by professions OF
dull servants coming TO be made over,
but we cite the case, together with the
Paris operation, as a curious instance OF
like effects produced by means which in
form were precisely opposite.

Electric Call Lamps.

The incandescent light has been
turned to very neat and highly con-
venient use in London. A 'ssilent call"
lis attached to any building for the pur-
pose of calling vehicle. Two lamps
are suspended outside, one red and the
other green, and by pressing button
in the entrance hall one or other of the
lamps can be lighted at will. The red
light brings to the door the conservative
'growler, and the green light sum
mons hansom. This new idea has
been SO much appreciated by Londoners
that it is now proposed to establish
system of carriage calls for theaters
and other places Of amusement by
means of which a carriage could be
lcalled from within the entrance hall by
the exhibition of q luminous number or
sign in conspicuous position in front
Of the building.

An Underground Lake.

The following is from the Spokane
Spokesman.
Conductor JEFF johnson, of the
Palouse train to Genesee, Idaho, tells
that on the farm of H. A Hanson,
located three miles from Genesee,
Idaho, while digging for well, an
underground lake was discovered at
the depth OF sixteen feet. Clear, pure
lake water purged out over the sur.
face for time, then settled back to
the eatth's level. The most curious
part Of it is that fsh were brought to
the surface on the overflow which
weighed from three to seven pounds
They have peculiar appearance and

attracted much attention, and many
farmers IN that vicinity fear their
farms will drop into the lake.

A little son OF James Jardiue, Of
Mslad, Was killed a few days ago by a
runaway team. His father and he
had started to a mill; the father got
in a wagon TO ride with a neighbor
who was going to the same mill and
left the little bor to drive his team
The team became frightened at some
thing on the road side and ran away
The little fellow was thrown from the
wagon and dragged for distance of
several hundred yards, When the
father reached him he was dead.

any way disturb the even tenor of the
senator's thoughts and plans for the
work he has in view for the good OF
his state.
The latest advices from Boise are
to the effect that the state board OF
equalization had asked the supreme
court to interpret the sections of the
law governing the action OF the board
before passing on the matters before
it. 1t begins to look like all the
laws of the Observation-Disclosures

by the secretary, Miss Murrell, was
an entertaining feature, as every

sentiment. The instrumental mu-
sic was rendered, in q manner
creditable to both pupils and teach
chers, by Misses Kate Kelly, Lucy
Wilson, Leona Mulrell and Efie
Woolwine. Some beautiful tab
leaux were interspersed through
the program. Rebecca at the Well,
by Miss Hattie Tynes was a splen
did picture. Rock Of Ages,by Mis-
ses Leona Murrell and MAY
Mustard, was the best presentation
of that tableau ever seen here.
The personal appearance of the
too young ladies had much to do
with its effectiveness. Misses Bes-
sic and Cleo Thompson appeared
