OLDEST SETTLERS.
THE PREHISTORIC INHA5IT-
ANTS OF AMERICA.
It Is Believed That They Crossed thu
Pacific In the Fifth Century-some
Relics of Their Existence-serpent
Mound of Ohio.

Four hundred years ago the country
we live in was unknown to the rest OF
the world. There were no cities, no
railroads and bridges, no horses and
wagons, no broad smooth roads The
people were of dark, reddish brown
color, and lived in wigwams covered
with bark In the whole space be-
tween the Mississippi and the Atlantic
there were probably not so many people
as live to-day in a single city like Bos-
ton or Cincinnati. Far away to the
southwark, where corn grew with
little care and where bananas and
other tropical fruits were native, there
were large villages in Mexico and Hu-
catan, and even on the dry plains OF
Arizona and New Mexico; but with
these exceptions America might be
called AN empty continent desert
land awaiting its inhabitants.
The central part of America had not
always been so lonely. The country
drained by the Mississippi and the
Great Lakes bears traces of larger
population the white men found there.
These little known people are called
Mound Builders from the huge piles of
earth which they raised for various
purposes. They are supposed to have
been of the same race as the Indian
tribes found by Europeans. But
while ten thousand mounds are
found within the single State of
Ohio, the same region was without
settled inhabitants two hundred ago
Many of these mounds were for pur-
poses of burial We learn something
of the habits of the people from the
ornaments of copper, stone and she'll
which they buried with the dead.

HER REAL OPINION.
What Pretty Girl Was Heard to OBJ
serve FeelIngly.


Most OF US have not the courage of
our own convictions or opinions. but
follow blindly in the wake of others
who have set the pace for US. We al
ways admire the outspoken sentiments,
but are afraid to venture ourselves for
fear of woInding public opinion. A
pretty girl who IS considered one of
Philadelphia's most charming buds,
with a Madonna face and an air Of
sanctity that is most at variance with
her real nature. shocked but at the
same time stirred up party OF young
folks who make society fads their laws
by announcing in public that she
despised German opera. Il know it is
very bad form to say so, but DO. I
think there is ten times more harmony
in one line Of the 'Mikado' than in the
whole opera of 'Lohengrin,' always
excepting the wedding march. I think
the fashionable handshake is silly and
unnatural, and love peanuts" With
these three terrible announcements
she gazed calmly on the astouished
hearers and expected a right royal
drubbing until, to her surprise, the
most punctilious one of the lot said in
a half-frightened way, as il startled
by her own temerity: 81 quite agree
with you, but would never have dared
to tell living soul if you had not
spoken first"

As a rule people digest most easily
what they like best. There is a dys-
peptic in this town who suffers the
agonies of death if he eats piece of
white bread or drinks cup of tea, and
yet no will eat large piece OF fat pork
and a plate of baked beans swimming
in grease without experiencing the
slightest annoyance. He says he likes
pork and beans, and nobody can doubt
it after seeing him eat them, and he
unquestionably furnishes an illustra-
ton Of the maxim that dyspepsia is an
unaccountable maladv.

coPTRloHT Is9I
Theirs q ,ni4s Difference

There's a loi9e differences
between the help that's talked Of
and the help that's guaranteed.
Which do you want, when you're
buying medicine?
If you're satisfied with words, you
get them with every blood-puriier
but one. That one is DR.. Pierces
Golden Medical Discovery. With
that, you get a guarantee. If it
doesn't help you, you have your
money back. On this plan, n medi-
cine that promises help is pretty
sure to give it.
But it's because the medicine IS
different, that it's sold differently.
It's not like the sarsaparillas, which
are said to be good for the blood
in March, April, and May. At all
seasons and IN all cases, it cures
permanently, as nothing else can,
all the diseases arising from a tor
pid liver or from impure blood.
It's the best blood purifier, and
it's the cheapest, no matter how
many doses are offered for dollar.
With this, you pay only for the
good you get.

I should hesitase to say that an
elopement is never excusable. writes
Mrs Lyman Abbott, but it is very rare
indeed that the evils resulting from not
marrying would approach in conse-
quence those resulting from marriage
entered into under circumstances which
made an elopement seem necessary. l
believe in early marriages, but ! also
believe that every influence should be
placed about that sacred institution to
keep it pure and holy; that none
should enter into it lightly or unad-
visedly." And it would be usually
safer to postpone marriage until OBJ
jections could be overcome, rather than
torun the risks attending an elopement
1t is great temptation to bad man
if a woman is willing to enter into a
secret marriage, anu an elopement par
takes of that secrecy. l certainly do
not consider this an i6i- questioz., Il.

SILVER men IMPATIENT.
The Free Coinage Bill Has Not Ad-
vanced a Step.
TO COME UP lNTHE HOUSE TO-DAY
lts Friends Sure of the Coinage Commit
tes-seven OF It's Members are Consid-
cred In Favor Of the eBin-Amendment
May Bring More Delay.

WASHINGTON, July THE silver bill
has not advanced one step. That was
tho judgment OF conservative membs<s
after the smoke of battle had cleared
away, The silver inen are getting very
impatient at the failure Of Q number of
absent members to return to their post
of duty.
1t was said last evening that the anti
silver Democrats had decided to refrain
from further opposition to the reference
of the silver bill to the coinage commit
tee. This IL probably premature, but
they will have . conference to endeavor
to arrange programme.
One of the leading members OF the coin
age committee said that ne believed the
bill must remain In the committee at
least two days, when II is finally reached,
as IL was possible for Its opponents to
consume that much time in offering
amendments and voting. Meanwhile tho
bill is still on the Speakers table and the
House must decide where to refer 1t to-
day a. soon az the diplomatic conference
report is acted upon.
There arc 13 voting members of the

an 10 known to be In favor of free coin
age.
member Of the committee said that
of the II members OF the committee now
in Washington seven are favorable to the
hill and Ave are opposed to IL. The free
silver members feel confident that moth
ing stands in the way OF a favorable re-
port from the committee, although IL
may be delayed by amendments offered
with that purpose In view.
