hereby showing keen discrimination

The Spanish woman, he says, sis

hands and feet, and large eyes, like the

The English woman, he thinks, is

complexion, delicately formed nose

gives the table richer appearance

plenty of changes and never use ia

thereby necessitating more rubbing TO

wear on the material.
Never put table linen into soap suds
until it has had all stains removed by

This will remove all stains but iron

AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY

WAsHINoToN, Aug. I3.-What is char
acterized as the most important discovery
concerning the aborigines made for many
years, Is announced as the result of re-
searches made by Professor Cyrus Thomas
oithe United States Bureau of Ethnology.
Contrary TO previous views, Professor
Thomas sets forth as fact that Mexican
civilization originated with the Malays of
the South Pacific seas and establishes a
connection between the languages of the
Malays and the Mayas, now in Yucatan.
e-iatter language, according to his
views, Is direct offshoot of the Malay,
which is that spoken by the people of
Malacca, Java, and Sumatra.
1t is claimed at the bureau that this
discovery throws new light on the abo-
riginal races aud will result in an entire
remodeling of the views heretofore ad-
vanced as TO the history and native civil
ization of central America.
