Bilious Attacks

During several months past l have been
subject to attacks Of bad headache, without
being able to remove the trouble by medical
treatment. In looking through Ayers AL

cured OF similar attacks by the use of Ayers
Cathartic Pills, and was induced to give
them a trial. They have benefited me so
much that i consider it my duty to mention
my case to you for the benefit of others."-

FINANCES OF BRAZIL
The Milreis Has Gone Down From 81 Cents

to 33 Cents Under Republicanism.
In the last days of the Empire, under the
reign Of Dom Pedro IL, says Consul j. O.
Kerbey, writing to The DISPATCH from
Para, the Brazilian Refs, the currency of
the realm, was equivalent to "a cents gold,
its par. To-day, after IS months of repub-
ican "dictatorship''-the same milreis is
worth about SO cents. These are the undis-
puted facts and figures, which speak vol
umes and "faks," as Sairy Camp says, "is
stubborn things which wunt be druy-not
mutch."
Columns have been printed and volumin-
Gus official reports circulated which are
calculated. as the Yankees say, to ac-
count for or to explain to outsiders this
sure and steady decline in the new Republics
finances. The whole talk by day and by
night seems to be on Exchange The re-
markable feature to stranger is that all this
Exchange" is posted through the English
banks which receive their instructions over
telegraph wires owned and controlled by
English capital in London, and every
body seems to accept, without question, the
quotations that come up from headquarters
in this manner.
However, the "Consul Americana" at
Para, should not fret about such matters, as
the only transaction that he is at all con-
cerned in personally consists in exchanging
all of his salary for his boarding.

Though the Carpathian Mountains rank
next to the Alps and Pyrenees among the
mountain systems of southwestern Europe,
they are scarcely known to tourists. Sweep
ing in great semi-circle nearly 1000 miles
In length, from Presburg, on the Danube,
to Orsova on the same river, they are
almost wholly included in Hungary and
Pennsylvania, both parts of the Austrian
empire. It was to the unfrequented by
paths among these mountains that Miss
Menie NJ. Dowie, an adventuresome young
English woman, betook herself in 1890, and
had the temerity to throw herself upon the
hospitality of semi Oriental people, whose
languages she did not know, and who must
have wondered greatly at the unwonted
spectacle of an unprotected young woman
from distant land wandering at will among
the mazes of their wild mountains. It was
not very discreet undertaking; but "all's
well that ends well," and Miss Dowie has
become quite heroine.
There was decided novelty in the equip
ment of the unprotected female. Seeing that
she travelled on mountain ponies, along diff
ticult bride paths, naturally she cut down
her luggage, and was Indifferent as to her
personal appearance. She wore a removable
skirt, and made herself comfortable in mas
culine knickerbockers and native sandals.
She carried a revolver, which, fortunately,
she never had occasion to use, and pocket
edition Of Epictetus, to which she turned
for entertainment and consolation. Still
more useful was her cigarette case. Cigar
cite smoking was not only an unfailing
resource, but an invaluable antidote to the
poisonous atmosphere when she dropped in

Of the Queres Pueblos and in many ways
| the most remarkable town on the globe, is
only a mornings gallop southeast from
! Grants, and is the sight of lifetime.
Fancy a table 500 feet high and with a top
of 20 acres; one solid rock, supported not by
legs, but perpendicular cliffs, approachable
only by dizzy stairways in the cliff, but one
of which the chamois himself could climb,
! since on all the others one must take not
only foothold, but strong clutch with the
hands; and upon that titanic rock table or
island Pueblo town of three-story ter
raced houses, with over 800 swarthy inhabi-
tants. have been to Acoma great many
times since then, but never does 1t lose its
matchless charm. It is the most picturesque
little city In the world.
I got a large collection of the very hand

the Acomas, who are the most expert potters
of all the Pueblos, and many other valuable
mementos Of this strange people.
PICKED UP A SEWING MACHINE AGENT
When Shadow and 1 started West again
from Grants, we had acquired new COM
panion and q much worse one than weak
kneed but kind-hearted Phillips 1t was
Pennsylvania sewing machine agent whom
we will call Locke. He had seen in the
Albuquerque papers something about our
Journey, and got off the cars at Grants to
accompany us. He had left dollar or two,
and a great wealth of confidence, and nearly
talked our ears off" He was q gentleman
of chronic woes, and in the first hour of 40
quaintance told me sorrow enough to have
swamped the Great Eastern had she tried to
carry them all
For the first few miles the walking, though
bad, was not seriously SO; but we were fast
climbing the Continental Divide, gaining
about 100 feetin altitude with every mile
and with every mile progress grew more
difficult. By noon we were in six-inch
snow, and this grew continually deeper, un-
til it was almost knee-deep. We cooked
lunch over a fire of chips, hacked with
my hunting knife from a dead cedar, and
pushed on. Shadow was enjoying himself
hugely, for the country was alive with cot
ton tails, and in the deep snow he caught
several; but we bipeds were not quite SO
happy. My companion having told all his
boarded troubles, now found new ones to
engage his attention. He kept wishing he
were dead, and at last declared that he
would kill himself if he only knew howl 1t
was very hard to keep from laughing; but
with very solemn face handed him one
of my six-shooters, saying: Here, help
yourSelfl You are quite rightP'

But he gave me a look of ineffable re-

for his woes, and declared that he didn't see

For hours we watched the strange, wild
spectacle, until the sinking sun warned us
| to be moving, and we reluctantly turned
our faces westward. 1t was after dark when
we reached the nasty little section house
which comprised Cubero, and we found no
supper and no better bed than the greasy
floor. Phillips had been in high spirits all
day, and was constantly exclaiming about
the surprise of the natives when we should
have walked to California 'T'll show you
how to do itI' he cried, over and over. 'T

BILE
PHILLIPS BEGAN TO BE PEssnIIsT1o
When we swoke next morning the ground
was six inches deep with snow, and the
snowstorm increasing. The breakfast was
simply uneatable, and we started off poorly
prepared for so hard days work. The
slush and mud made walking very difficult;
and as we we're going steadily up grade the
road grew worse with every mile. A hearty
dinner at McCarty's cheered US; but as the
afternoon wore on Phillips began to be
kill.joy. He was not q profane man, but
his groans, sighs, objurgations of the
weather, and growing pessimism about life
In general made the way almost as cheerful
as funeral procession.
"Say, don't you know this Is an awful big
undertaking to walk to Los Angeles, he
broke out every now and then; and it was
plain what shape his thoughts were taking.
He kept falling behind and then running to
catch up, while plowed ahead as fast as
aver could NV heart rather smote ma
but it was q mercy to both of US to try his
metal at the outset-if he was ''infrm of
purpose" the sooner we parted company
the better for both; and If he was of the
real stuff this would bring it out
For only Is miles that was a very hard
days work, and when we reached Grants
in the evening Phillips walking days were
done. He left me there and took the train
for California, and never saw him but
once again. From Grants I went % miles
back from the railroad to the Mexican town
of San Mateo to visit Colonel Manuel
Chaves, the finest rife shot and greatest
Indian fighter in the Southwest in his day.
FRIENDS WITH AN INDIAN FIGHTER.
Our five days acquaintance then ripened
into one of the dearest of friendships. and
since the old hero's death his liant sons
have grown near to me in companionship
through dangers that draw men together.
There was the true Spanish hospitality-s
universal welcome which the very name of
the home betokens, for it is Sucasa, ''Your
Own House" The time passed very
quickly with hunting and exploring by day,
