CURIOUS MEXICAN BELIEFS.

The O1d-Time idea OF Heaven and the
Hereafter.
The ancient Mexican idea OF Heaven,
hell and the after state of the soul is
extremely curious and interesting. Ac-
cording to their notions, souls neither
good nor bad, or those whose virtues
and vices balanced each other, were to
| enter a medium state of idleness and
empty content.
The wicked, or those dying by any ola
long list of different modes of death,
went to Meitlan, a distant hall within
the bowels of the earth. The souls of
those struck by lightning, or of those
dying by a given list of diseases, were
transported to a remote elysium, called
Tialocan; children went to the same
place. The actual Heaven, the House
of the Sum-" was reserved for warriors,
women who died in defense Of their
children and those who were offered up
as sacrifices. Immediately after death,
according to their beliefs, the soul
passed to that great blouse of the
Sum- ruled over by the sun himself,
who permitted the faithful to accom-
pany him for a long term of years in his
| circuit of the skies.
During all these years Of continual
flight they were supposed to honor the
sun with songs, dances and other forms
of revelry. After this term of proba-
ton was ended they believed that they
would be terminated and become beau
tiful birds with brilliant plumage, liv-
ing alternately among the stars of
heaven and the flowers OF earth.

curious. They buried a jug Of water
with each corpse and placed small bits
of white bark in the hands. These
pieces of bark were usually covered
with characters, a fact which caused
some a~rchaologists to suggest that they
were probably passports to the region
beyond the stars. When one of their
number died the friends and relatives
forthwith made a bonfire Of all his per-
sonal effects, the idea being to light the
soul in it's flight through the cold and
cherries regions of space.

THE KELLEY INSTITUTE
Twelve Years Of Established Merit
NOTE OF WARNING!
TO THE PUBLIC:

TO THE
DWIGHT, ILL.,, April 80, 1892.
AS a matter of justice to ourselves and to
the reputation of DR.. Leslie E. Keeley's
Double Chloride of Gold remedies, for the
cure of the liquor, opium, morphine and
tobacco diseases and Neurasthenia, we warn
the public that these remedies are used by
no institution or sanitarium in the United
States except those established by ouI COM
pany under the uniform name of "The
Kelley Institute"
All others claiming to use our remedies
are frauds and imposters.
We have now sixty Kelley Institutes es-
tablished in various parts of the United
States where the Kelley treatment is ad-
ninistered and the Kelley remedies sold.
We, however, caution all to examine well
and NOV that they are dealing with genuine
representatives, authorized by us, before
taking the treatment or purchasing remedies.
The fraudulent establishments use the name
of "Bi-Chloride of Gold" or similar titles.
The newspapers do not discriminate suffi-
GENTLY to know that they are imitators, and
so put down all accidents occurring at such
establishments as being brought about by
the Kelley treatment. This is a matter of
much concern to US, hence this warning.
Respectfully yours,
THE LESLIE +. KELLEY co.
Curtis J. Judd, Sec'y and Treas.
The Kelley institute at Greensboro, n. C.,
is the only one in the state, and all repre-.
sensations that there is in the state any cure
that is identical with, or the same as, the
Kelley Double Chloride of Gold Cure are
malicious, false, and made for the purpose of
deceiving. We learn with indignant regret
that such claim is being made, and feeling
that if it be hurtful to US it will prove more
disastrous to those who are deceived thereby,
we sound this warning.

MEN FIFTEEN INCHES HIGH.
What q French Statistician Says will Bs

What n French Statistician Says will Be
Seen on Earth I'm Two Thousand Years.
A French statistician, who has been
studying the military and other records
with a view of determining the height
OF men at different periods, has reached
some wonderful results. He has not
only solved some perplexing problems
In regard to the past of the human race,
but is ais enabled to calculate its flu
ture and to determine the exact period
when man will disappear from the
earth. The recorded facts extend over
nearly three centuries. It is found hat
In 1910 the average height Of man in
Europe was 1.75 meters, or say five feet
nine inches. In 1890 it was five feet six
inches. In 1920 it was five feet five
inches and a fraction. At the present
time it is five feet three and three
fourths inches. It is easy to deduce
from these figures a rate of regular and
gradual decline in human stature, and
then apply this, working backward and
forward to the past and to the future.
BY this calculation it is determined hat
the stature of the first men attained the
surprising average of sixteen feet nine
inches. Truly, there were giants ON
the earth in those days. The race had
already d~eteriorated in the days of Og,
and Goliath was a quite degenerate Off
spring of the giants. Coming down to
later times, we find that at the beginning
Of our era the average height Of man
was nine feet, and in the time Of Charlie
magne it was eight feet eight inches
But the most astonishing result of this
scientific study comes from the applica-
ton Of the same memorable law Of
d~iminution to the future. The calcula-
ton shows that by the year 1000 A. d.
the stature of the average man will be
reduced to fifteen inches. At that epoch
there will be only Lilliputians on the
face of the earth. And the conclusion
of the learned statistician is irresistible:
that "the end of the world will GER
tainly arrive, for the inhabitants will
have become so small that they will
finally disappear"-"fnish by disap-
pearing"-as the French idiom expresses
't-"from the terrestrial globe"

Che Queer way the Telephone System Is
Run in m
The telephone is rapidly conquering
he remoter parts of the old world.
One of the latest connections, says the
Western Electrician, is that made be-
tween Galatz and Braila, two CONNER
clal cities of Roumania, on the lower
Danube. A merchant of Braila wanted
to buy some barley, and went to the
telephone Office to speak to his agent at
Galatz, where the produce exchange
was held at the time.
Have you written to your friend to
be at the telephone at this hour?" asked
the officer in charge at the telephone
station.
mo, l have not" said the merchant.
Then you have ~telegraphed, I
guess?' persisted the officer.
81 should not come to the telephone
if I wanted to telegraph" said the mer-
chant, irritably.
Then l cannot let you use the tele-
phone" retorted the officer. 1.-THE in
structions are" continued he, that
people who want to talk to each other
through the telephone must agree upon
the time beforehand by letter or by
telegraph or by other of commu-
nication."
But l did not know until now that 1
wanted to buy barley" explained the
merchant.
Then I cannot allow you to use the
telephone" said the officer, and the
merchant had to give up the idea OF
buying barley That day.

HIustache and Goatee

At a period after the Moorish inva-
sion, when the Christian and Moslem
population became so mixed that it was
hard to say which were Moors and
which Spaniards, the pious Spaniards
hit upon the mustache as a means OF
identification. They permitted the hair
on the upper lip to grow, and also a
tuft on the under lip, an outline Of the
cross being thus formed. Thus, say the
Parisians, the mustache becomes q
symbol OF liberty, equality and frater-
Rity. ~

Curbiup the Press.

The French government IL stopping
more important work and taking good
deal Of trouble TO rid itself of Objectionable
foreign newspaper correspondents.
II would seem 10 be more to the purpose
20 send 10 prison as soon rs possible all the
Partisan editors and statesmen who were
bought with the money extOrted by false
representations from the poor people OF
France. who believed that they were pa
trotically aiding TO build great canal
when they were only aiding III the pur-
chase of rascally public men.
All efforts Of the French government TO
put an embargo upon hostile newspaper
criticism will fail. The correspondents
who have been declared obnoxious can re-
tire to the frontier and easily keep IN com
municatIon with Paris.
When the Communists were in posses
sion of Paris and the Germans had Their
lines around and about 1t the newspaper
men found a way TO get their news over to
England and America. The present task Is
not half so difficult.
The government. however, seems not to
object 10 far reports Of trials and leels-
latIve proceedings, but 1T docs object to
the comments of hostile Italian, German,
aud other correspondents. The plea ia that
these men are anti-Republicans. Still, we
should rather see all this governmental
energy directed towards the punishment
of corrupt statesmen and editors than
against the plain-talkers OF the press.

son have been put in readiness for Infant

The Times's Decisions

ne lDcS Dt4uSAOhS-
The Times Of yesterday, after stating the
purport Of the decision Of the Supreme
Court Of the United States in the case OF
the Veazie Bank, adds what here follows
We quote
"Tho objection now made IL ihis Congress IL
given authority 70 lay and collect taxes 20 raise
revenue: but IT Is not given authority 70 lay and
collect taxes for any other purpose. The tax on
the issues o, state banks ~ not laid TO collect
revenue, but 20 suppress siato-bank notes.
Therefore Congress Ia using n power given IL
for distinct purpose 70 accomplish what Con-
gress is forbidden 20 do II is not using the
power o. taxation, bat abusing IL. IL IL seeking
to DO n thing that Sc IL forbidden To DO under the
false pretence OF doing another thing that 1t Is
authorized 20 90. The whole business IL nothing
but Yankee trick and a disgrace to the Ameri-
can people"
But how is the Supreme Court of the
United States 10 come TO knowledge that
"the tax on the issues of Stste banks 10
not laid 10 collect revenue, but TO suppress
State-bank notes Would that court take
the gucsses Of counsel for facts proved Z
Would that court presume 10 decide that
the Congress Of the United States and the
President of the United States had made a
| law for one purpose, whilst processing TO
have made IL for another purpose! We
think that a decision based upon such a
! foundation cannot be expected from that
| august tribunal; and we are surprised TO
find our neighbor characterizing a tax
which that court has decided is not uncon-
stitutional as Yankee trick and dis
grace 10 the American people"
The T,D,es argues that the point which
it makes in the paragraph quoted above was
not presented TO the court, and therefore
it cannot fairly be claimed that the court
has decided the tax not to be uncOnstitu-
tional. Our neighbor has a high opinion
of that point; but we are content 10 take
the decision az it was made by the Su-
preIne Court
