THE OLD STORY.
Mexicans Are Becoming Crazy Over q
Search For Treasure.

Mexicans Are Becoming Crazy Over O
Search For Treasure.
An odd hunt for buried treasure has been
in progress lately in the little mountain
town of Chilli, 40 miles east of Albu-
qurque, N. M. Ruins of Spanish and In
dian settlements have been found in sew
eral places thereabout. Some weeks ago a
band of gypsies came to Chilli, and the
chief told the Mexicans there that by dig
ging in certain place they would come
upon a cedar post, and that the cedar post
was guidepost from which he would be
able to locate buried treasure to the value
of some So, 600, 600.
The gypsy told the Mexicans to dig I'M
til they found the post and then await his
return. Then, with his band, he started
for the ruins of Gran Quiyera. The Mex
leans dug for a day or two, and finally
came upon the cedar post, just as they
were told they would. Then, unable to
curb their curiosity, they kept On digging
and have been digging ever since.
They have unearthed several heavy walls
and other remains of buildings which in
dictate that the place is the site of Span
ish or prehistoric city. Now every one
who can get pick and shovel is digging
for dear life. The gypsy hasn't been seen
since his first appearance.

THE NEWEST TOY.
Here Is Novelty From Paris. Which Ev-
cry Boy Can Make at Home.

Here Is Novelty From Paris Which Ev-
cry Boy Can Make at Home.
The very latest in toys from Paris has
made its appearance in New York. 1t is
an ingenious optical illusion.
Two panes of glass make the front and
rear walls of a reservoir, which is filed
with clear water. The front is made of
corrugated but clear glass. The rear one
is of smooth plate. A figure of man cut
out of cardboard is attached to wire that
passes under the reservoir.
As the picture is drawn toward the op-
orator, who is looking at it through the
corrugated glass, the figure appears to be
walking in q most natural manner. A
clown, with his pointed cap balanced on
his nose, seems to be exerting all his cum
ming to preserve it's equilibrium as well
as his own.
Horses move. little dogs dance, geese
waddle, all in a manner to produce much
amusement. Any colored pictures out
from newspapers or magazines may be
used with this simple yet ingenious toy,
thereby prolonging it's novelty and enter
tanning favor Indefinitely. An ingenious
youth will find this a new and musing
way to produce puppet shows and toy the
atrioais.-New York Journal.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Rise in the Price of Bonds Strengthens
Confidence.


Confidence.
NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
The restoration of the treasury re-
serve has been effected with remark
ably little monetary disturbance,
though stringency in many mar
kets, greater elsewhere than here,
and greater in commercial than
in other loans, has somewhat retarded
business. The rapid rise in the price
of bonds strengthens public confidenc.
While money markets are growing
easier as rapidly as could be expected,
after the withdrawal of over $40, O0O,-
900 from unemployed funds, the ex-
pected activity in commercial loans
does not appear, as offerings are
small.
In no important branch of business
is there yet apparent much disposition
to expand. Purchases to cover several
months actual consumption were
made within few weeks on rising
markets last fall; distribution to con-
sumers has been slow and reductions
in prices have not brought a renewal
of such buying. Prices of commodities,
as a whole, are now at the lowest
average ever known.
Receipts of wheat continue heavy,
2,415, 558 bushels for the week, against
l,642,517 last year, and depress the
price of February delivery, to 729<c,
although what is nominally called
cash price is 71lc higher.
In almost all manufactured pro-
ducts, decline continues, though in
some classes quotations are so irreg-
ular that the change cannot be accu-
rately measured.
Failures for the week have been 28o
in the United States, against 3O2 last
year, and &C in Canada, against SO
last year.

Julian to unite the string at the wrist
he walked back to Maher and offered
his bare hand with the remark, ''Well,

tended hand and shook it heartily
without rising from his seat or raising
his head to look at his conqueror.

Cancer
OF Breast.

Mr.. A. H. Crausby is one of the best
known and most highly respected citi-
Gems of Memphis, and resides at 1ss
Kerr street in that city.
Some years ago his wife noticed
small lump in her breast. She thought
nothing of it, but it increased in size
rapidly, and soon broke through the
skin and commenced to discharge.
She was at once put under treatment
of the best physicians, but they 7ery
soon found that they could do her no
good, and simply prescribed antiseptics
to keep the place clean. Both her
grandmother and aunt, by the way,
had died with cancer, and when APP
prised of this fact the doctors said that
they would not attempt to save her;
that she was incurab1e. Although the
cancer had by this time become deep
seated and her health very low, one of
the most noted specialists of New York
then treated her. After treating her
awhile, this doctor admitted that the

Vertisement of S. S. s., recommending
that remedy for cancer, and in view of
the failure of the most eminent physi-
clans in the country, l confess had
little faith left in any human agency.
However, I purchased a bottle of S. S. s.,
and to my delight it seemed to benefit
her. After she had taken couple of
bottles the cancer began to heal, and
astonishing as it may seem, a few bot
ties more cured her entirely. You can
probably better understand how re-
markab1e this cure was when explain
that the cancer had eaten two holes in
the breast two inches deep. These
healed up entirely, and although ten
years have elapsed, not a sign of the
disease has ever returned, and we are
assured of the perm anence of the cure,
which we at first doubted.
''As my wife inherited the cancer,
certainly regard S. S. S. as the most
wonderful remedy in the world, and it
with this terrible disease. You may
be sure that shall always be grateful
to that remedy, for without it my home
would now be deso1ate and my chill
dren notherlesS.
The above is but one of many re-
rnarkab1e cures being daily made by
S. s. S. Cancer is becoming alarm
ing1y prevalent, and manifests itself in
such a variety of forms, that any lump,
sore or scab, it matters not how small,
which does not readily heal up and dis
appear may well be regarded with
suspicion. We will gladly send to any
address, full accounts of several other
cures fully as remarkable as this one.
For real blood troubles, S. S. s. has
no equal. It wipes out completely the
most obstinate cases of blood diseases,
which other remedies do not seem to
touch. S. S. S. gets at the root of the
disease, and forces it out permanently.
S. S. S. is guaranteed purely vegeta-
bic, and is a positive and permanent
cure for Scrofu1a, Eczema, Cancer,
rheumatism and all traces of bad
blood. Our valuable books will be
