AN ARIZONA MUMMY.
Once a Very Rich Person Of the Ancient
Aztec Nation.

An Indian mummy has been found in
Arizona, near Prescott, that is believed
to have been once one Of the great men
of the Aztecs, says the New York Jour
nal. 1t was found by John T. Blundy,
who communicated the facts to George
f. Kuntz, the New York diamond expert,
says the Chicago News.
Besides the mummy was Il basket filled
with5 half speck ..of turquoises. With
the Aztccs green was II sacred stone and
wealth was guaged generally by the num-
Der of green stones that person owned.
Every mans treasure in those days was
buried with his bones, and neglect to do
this was regarded as highly sacrilegious.
For the nourishment of the departed
soul n few ears Of corn were added,
The torquoises Mr.. Bundy found were
in the form of beads These the Aztecs
firmly believed saved the wearer from
fevers, serpents' bites and diseases.
The mummy is a singular specimen,
altogether unlike the Egyptian variety.
The skin is dried firmly..over the bones,
giving. it Il withercd appearance. This
is due to the rare air in Arizona, which
dries, but seldom has the dccomposing
effect of our atmosphere.

BELONGS IN A MUSEUM.
Cat That Conscientiously Earns Its
Board and Lodging

Miss Annie Eddes, lady living near
Stockton, Cal. owns n cat bearinp the
euphonious name of Bildad that is n mar
vel of feline intelligence and industry
Miss.Annie lives on II little place of her
own, where she has her busy hands pret
ty full in looking after the ranchwork and
attending to her father, who is n cripnle
and the cat, Bildad, has come to be verv
helpful to her in many ways. Among
other sources of revenue, Miss Angie has
II dozen fine bearing almond trees that
bring in no inconsiderable amount. and
Bildad is invaluable to her in taking care
of the nuts. Every morning in the fall.
ing time Miss Annie sets large basket
out in the orchard and Bildad begins
work, frisking back and forth under the
trees, picking up the plump, brown nuts,
never ceasing till the basket is full. when
he goes in, letting his mistress know by
pulling ut her apron strings that he needs
her help. Aside from thus relieving Miss
Annie of the trouble Of gathering the
nuts, Bildad's services are called into
requisition to protect them from rats,
which, otherwise, would begin to ravage
the trees as soon as the young almonds
show evidences of maturity, says the San
Francisco Call.
Another one of Bildad's accomplish
ments is that of churning, at which he is
quite an adept. Old Mr.. Eddes who
has quite an inventive faculty, has man
ufactured n little churn. with n unique,
light-running treadle upon which Bildad
mounts, and treadS away with the most
praiseworthy industry till the work is
done. So expert has the cat become
that he can tell by the sound of the milk
when the butter has come, and strikes
with his paw on the little bell which
is attachedto the churn to let his mistress
know.
In the midst of all his industry Bildad
finds time for as much fun and frolic as
the average cat, and is a source of great
amusement and pleasure to the old man
Eddes, relieving him of many tedious
hours. In fact, no happier trio could be
found than the old man, Miss Annie and
Bildad.

The latest use to which the sun has been

This fashion began last summer. a
