On the walls OF the booth hang banners
like Japanese Kakemono. One painted on
straw attracts attention. There are also here
and there screens, of which one was hand
embroidered by the ladies Of the palace. The
boxes and cabinets for clothing look like
trunks and seem durable. Skins OF sable,
leopard, fox, tiger and other animals are
scattered about. In an upright glass case
are exhibited various fabrics, articles OF foot
gear, an embroidered silk cushion and arm
rest, n mans suit, ladys dress and lady's
court dress, while on dummies In the center
of the room are shown the ancient warriors
costumes, the ladies' dress for dance and the
court dress of both military and civil off,

GUATEMALA AND ITS EXHIBIT.
Close up to Mexico lies Guatemala, the
first land of Central America. Although the
frontier OF Mexico Is like an impossible
chasm, and the Republic OF Guatemala IL shut
Off from all intercourse with the realm of
President Diaz, she has almost without any
assistance risen to high degree of COM
merclal worth. Over the Mexican border al-
most all the trade that is done is carried on
by smugglers. No railway crosses the from
tier, and when q citizen OF Guatemala wants
TO visit the Mexican capital he gets on a
steamer at San Jose, goes to San Francisco
and then by rail travels back to the city OF
Mexico. President Barrios married AN
American girl, and the friendly feeling OF
the country was increased toward the United
States. .....--..

Indians. The Indians for the most part are
devoted to agriculture. while the Ladinos
are engaged in commercial pursuits. Guat-
emala is one OF the most fertile OF the Central
or South American republics. Without cul-
tivation pineapples, oranges. bananas, lem
ons, anona, zapote and almost all kinds OF
tropical fruits are produced. In the north
erstern and southwestern parts OF the conn
try are vast forests. Gold, copper from and
silver mines are worked with great gains.
All OF the South American republics have
courted immigration In emulation OF the
United States. but most OF them without
very bright results.
Guatemala is ruled by a political code
which was adopted in 1879 and in part re-
vised in 1885. The President is elected di-
rectly by the people. His term OF Office is
six years, and by the constitution he is NOT
allowed to succeed himself. The legislative
branch OF the Government Is constituted BY
an assembly, the members of which are
elected by the people. The President ap-
points his cabinet OF six secretaries, In charge
Of departments of foreign affairs. interior
and justice, public works, war, treasury and
public instruction. This judiciary is COM
posed OF u chief Justice and supreme court.
aud the system is very similar to that OF the
United States.

Beaconsheld's Work In the Balkans.
The great Sobranje has sanctioned
the changes in the Bulgarian constitu-
ton which the lesser Sobranje lately
voted; sanctioned them with an amaz-
Ing unanimity of obedience There is
no possible reason why these altera-
tions should have displeasing to the
powers, since they provide the country
with a dynasty and tend TO solidify the
nation. A strong Bulgaria between
Russia and Constantiuople is most de-
sirable, and the present conditions Of
the Balkans affords the surest proof
of Lord BeacOnsfield's sagacity at the
Berlin conference. His compliance
with the desires of Russia on that oc-
casion startled many people. Russia
wished to manufacture congeries Of
small and Independent states in order
that she might occupy them in the day
OF her good pleasure. Lord Beacons-
field knew that independence is the
last gift which a nation will willingly
surrender; and the event has proved
him wise in his hour Indeed the re-
cent act of the great Sobranje is the
last disaster which has fallen upon
the expansive pan-Slavist party Us a
result Of the Russo Turkish war; the
last revenge brought in by the whirli-
gig Of time upon the victors.-Pall Mall

The Face as an Index,

Incomplete closure of the eyelids,
rendering the whites Of the eyes visi-
BILE during sleep, is symptom in all
acute and chronic diseases Of a severe
type; it is also to be observed when rest
is unsound by pain, wherever seated.
Twitching Of the eyelids, associated
with the oscillation of the eyeballs or
squirting, herald the visit of convul-
sions.
Widening Of the orifices Of the nose,
with movements of the nostrils to and
fro, point to embarrassed breathing
from disease Of the lungs or their pleu-
raj investment.
Contraction Of the brows indicates
pain in the head; sharpness Of the nos
trils, pain i'll the chest, and a drawn
upper lip, pain in the abdomen.
TO make a general rule, it may be
stated that the upper third Of the face
is altered in the expression in affections
Of the brain; the middle third, in dis
eases of the chest, and the lower third,
in the diseases of the organs contained
in the abdominal cavity.

A SHREWD EASTERNER.
His Methods of Land Grabbing Were
Unique If Not Comm endable.

His Methods of Land Grabbing were
Unique If Not Commendable.
'"There are devices practised in the
Far West" observed an Omaha man
recently, 'for making money; devices
that appeal to the enterprising and in
genious citizen, and that are, by a
long way, more ingenious than com.
mendable.
"Every now and then," he went on,
"a shrewd Fastener sees an unlocked
for opportunity to get ahead in the
West. He generally intends to remain
just long enough to get big bank
account and then to return home and
spend his money. Oftener than not,
he does not return, and the West,
particularly the new West, is recruited
with just such Eastern Adventures.
There is a man living on a claim
near the frontier town Of Hecla, Wyo.,
whose career so far has been pre-emi-
nently successful.

land claim for six hundred acres
He had his eye upon the land adjoin-
ing his own, where an old frontiersman
lived alone with his daughter
1.-THE shrewd EasteIrer gained the IA
vor of the old man by winning his way
into the daughters affections and after
ward marrying her.
HE then put his father-in-law into
the way Of stealing sheep that had
wandered from neighboring ranches,
claiming that they were 'communistic
property Both were arrested, as the
business man knew and intended they
should be. The latter then turned
states evidence and was set free.
THAT was part of his we'll formulated
scheme. While his father-in-law was
serving out his sentence in prison the
Fastener jumped the old mans claim,
hired an Inscriptions neighbor to run
away with his wife, and obtained u
divorce on the ground of desertion.
He now smokes the pipe of peace
as he surveys his broad acres and con-
graduates himself upon his shrcwd-
ness. He will probably return East
some day. No doubt he'll pose as a
Western cattle king or something of
the sort when he does. New York

Opium a Benefactor.
food is desired.

Still another contribution to the
opium controversy is furnished by Ali
Dharamsi, a Mohammed solicitor of
Bombay, fellow of the university,
and q justice Of the peace. In giving
his experience to the use of opium, both
In Bombay and his native province,
Clutch, he. declares that, us compared
with alcohol, it does not harm at aIl.
He states positively that the quantity
taken does not increase with the habit.
He found opium eaters Of from fifty
ITO eighty years old looking robust and
healthy. He believed the habit to be
so rooted that prohibition would pro-
duce smuggling, which, in the case Of
a drug SO small and so desired, could
not be suppressed. He holds that its
suppression, IL it could be affected,
would be followed by IN immense in
crease, in the use of alcohol, which,
to all the dark races, Is most deadly.
They cannot afford wine, and drink on
II to be drunk. There is such an an
cient and deep-rooted prejudice against
the use Of opium in Western countries
that Mr.. 'Dharamsi's arguments are not
likely to make much impression upon
the opium fanatics, but there IS every
reason to believe that he knows what
he Is talking about, and his evidence
is, therefore, valuable; furthermore, it
is markedly confirmatory Of some re-
cent testimony on the subject, the Co
gency and weight Of which are beyond
question.

1T WAS VERY TEMPTING.

A Bottle of Whisky That Was Acci-
dentally Hidden Long Before the
War.
Thirty-six years ago a man named
Jones, who was employed by Frank
Lockwood Of Norwich, Conn.,, was at
work on Mr.. Lockwood's farm, and as
a stimulant took out to the lot with him
a pint flask Of whisky. During the
morning Jones took one nip, and seeing
his employer coming he slipped the
bottle into hole in tree standing
near, intending to return and get 1t
after Mr.. Lockwood had gone home.
When the opportunity came he was
disgusted to find that the tree trunk
was hollow and the bottle had fallen
to the bottom and probably broken.
Jones related the incident to Mr.. Lock
wood some time afterward, who
laughed at the loss and thought no
more about it.
Recently, during a severe wind storm,
the old tree, now a rotten stump, was
blown over. Mr.. Lockwood went out
to haul away the trunk, and was sur
prised to find his former employees 8
whisky flask safe and unbroken. He
took out the cork, took one smell.
"And, SIR" said he, though I've been
a. teetotaler nigh onto fifty years, l
never was so tempted to take q taste
Of whisky in my life as / was then.
But T didn't, and the stuff is safe up
at my house"
If is said the whisky, when poured
out, had the consistency and color OF
olive oil. 1t will not be used as long
as Mr.. Lockwood holds it.-Boston jour-

There Is a certain dress goods fabric
manufactured in France under the
name OF Pilou, or American flannel,
which is said to be almost as infiam-
.mable as ,gunpowder, and extremely
dangerous. It is made Of cotton, and
its 'inflammability is ascribed to the
chemicals with which it is prepared.
"A French writer says that recently
he was dining at the table Of a lady
who was clothed in this material. In
the act Of saturating an omelette with
rum, to which she set fire with match,
a drop Of the burning liquid was spilled
on her dress, which in an instant was
ablaze from top Ito bottom, as if it had
been made Of guncotton. The lady had
the presence of mind to throw herself
on the floor, thus putting out the fire
with the aid Of those present, who
smothered the flames with covers, etc.
An examination of the dress after the
fire had been put out showed that its
aspect had changed but little, except
that the velvety softness peculiar to
the material was gone from every spot
that had been burned. The welt was
intact. ~

An absurd and inconvenient dictate
OF the present fashion is the almost
complete banishment Of the teaspoon.
The multiple fork has gradually en-
croached upon the spoons domain till
even the various grains and vegeta-
bles OF the more elusive sort, which
were once wont to occupy exclusive
little dishes, and have a teaspoon
apiece, are now amalgamated with the
rest OF the dinner, and disposed Of as
best one may with four-tined imple-
ment. For the present teaspoons are
still permitted for stirring and sipning
beverages without incurring the .odium
OF greenness and vulgarity.

TERRIBLE VOLCANOES.
Few People Imagine What One of
Them Can Do When Thoroughly

Few People Imagine What One OF
Them Can Do When Thoroughly
Active.
Few people in this country Imagine
what terrible work 4 volcano of the
regulation size can do when it once
gets fully aroused. In 1858 Catopaxi
threw it's fiery rockets more than 5000
feet above tile crater, and in 1857, when
the blazing mass confined in tho same
mountain was struggling for IN outlet,
it roared so loud that the awful noise
was heard for 4 distance Of GOO miles.
In 1897 the crater Of Tunguragua,
one of the great peaks of the Andes,
flung out torrents Of mud and lava,
which damned up great river, opened
new lakes, besides making deposit Of
seething mud, ashes and lava 800 feet
deep over the whole area of a valley
which was twenty miles long and aver
aged 1000 feet in width, says the
Philadelphia Press.
The stream Of lava which flowed
from Vesuvius in 1887 and passed
through the valley of Terre del Greco
is estimated to have contained 1885,
100000 cubic feet of solid matter.
In 17GO Etna poured out food Of
melted stones and ashes which cOv-
cred eighty-fou square miles Of fertile
country to depth of from ten to forty
feet.
On this occasion the sand, scoria,
lava, etc, from the burning mountain
formed Mt Rosini. peak two miles
in circumference and over 1000 feet
high.
In the eruption Of Vesuyius in the
year 70 A. D., the time of the destrulc-
ton of Pompeii, the scoria, ashes, sand
and lava vomited forth far exceeded
the entire bulk Of the volcano itself,
while in 1860 Etna disgorged over tWen-
ty times it's own mass.
Nesuvius has sent it's ashes into
Syria, Egypt and Turkey. 1t hurled
stones of 800 pounds weight to Pom
pcii, distance of six English miles,
during the eruption Of 70, A. D.
Cotopax once projected a block OF
stone containing over 100 cubic yards
a distance of nine end one-haf miles.

BOOKS AND THEIR AGE.
Too Many Think They Have Treas
ures in Ancient Volumes

Too Many Think They Have Treas-
r., ures in Ancient Volumes.
A young man writes from st. Joseph,
Mo-, to a dealer in this city that he
is offering for sale, through the stress
OF hard times, a very rare book, pre-
sumably "the oldest book in America"
The volume is printed in Dutch, Is in
perfect condition, and was published
more than 300 years ago. The present
owner, whose letter proclaims his illit-
eracy, believes that he has a veritable
treasure. He will be terribly shocked
when he discovers that his treasure
is worth in the market not more than
IS.
Age alone gives value to but very
few books. Yet the average person has
an idea that if book was printed long
ago 1t must necessarily be valuable.
And, what is curious, different people
differ rs to the dates that constitute O
book old. There are those who fancy
that volume printed 100 years ago
must be esteemed very old, very rare
and very valuable. Others show you
with pride Hudibras printed-we will
say-in 175O, or Bible printed 200
years ago; and these volumes are cher
ished because of their antiquity! A
very worthy lady living in Massachlls-
etts recently exhibited with an elabor-
ate flourish volume of sermons bear
ing the date of 1854 volume she rev.
-
its age; a few moments later she gave
up to the writer without any hesitancy,
charming little 1927 reprint Of the
New England primer.
Age only gives value to comparative
ly few books. Hundreds of volumes
printed in the seventeenth century are
to be had at our secondhand shops
at prices ranging from 10 to Is cents
apiece, and the average vellu,n Of $50
years ago is worth 80 per cent less in
the market to-day than is one of Haw-
thorne's or Of Whittier's cunning little
first editions printed between 1888 and
1912. Going over an English catalogue
few days ago we made note of the
prices Of items bearing dates from 149O
to 1910, and we found that the sixteen
volumes offered for sale could be had
for $5.92, about 35 cents apiece. Last
