was Once Very Rich Person of tho
Ancient Aztec Nation.
An Indian mummy has been found
IN Arizona, near Prescott, that is be-
lieved to have once been one of the
great men of the Aztecs, says the New
York Journal. 1t was found by John
r. Blundy, who communicated the facts
to George +. Kunz, the New York
diamond expert. Beside the mummy
was a basket filled with a half-peck of
turquoises. With the Aztecs green was
sacred stone, and wealth was gagged
generally by the number of green
stones the 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 a
few ears of corn were added. The
turquoises Mr.. Blundy found were in the
form of beads. These the Aztecs firm
ly believed saved the wearer from
fevers, serpents' bites and diseases.
The mummy is singular specimen, al
together unlike the Egyptian variety.
The skin is dried firmly over the bones,
giving it a withered appearance. This
is due to the rare air in Arizona, which
dries, but seldom has the decomposing
effect of our atmosphere.

A Society Education.

"Why would it not be WE'LL" said a
clever woman, half sarcastically and
half in earnest, ito introduce the fash
ionable game Of the day into the cur
riculum of modern young lady's edU-
cation? For instance, just now it
might be golf. A young woman who
excels in this popular sport obtains
much more desirable as a companion
than proficient in music or an artist
of merit. A young woman who rides
straight across the country need never
really care if she knows much about
science or history. 1t really seems alb
surd to see the way woman who ex-
cells in sport is talked about and the
interest she eXcites. But since it is so,
why not make it a part of education?
why teach a girl music and spend
time and money over what will never
be of any use or advantage? How
much better it would be if she were
taught games scientifically, so that she
could play them with credit to herself
and pleasure to others. My own preju-
dice is in favor of a good, old-fash-
Toned education, but when one sees the
fuss that is made over our women ath-
letes, l am obliged to ask myself, if it
is the spirit of the age, why they fight
against it? Why should not the in
structors of the new girl seek rather
to direct this superfluous energy. or
whatever it is, and, recognizing the al
tered condition Of things, out-Herod

HOUSE MOVING.
A New Experience Described by Frank

A New Experience Described by Frank
r. Stockton.
/ don't know how long it was before
was awakened again, this time not
by the noise Of the storm, but by a
curious movement of my bedstead,
says Frank r. Stockton in McClure's.
1t actually lurched forward as if it
were descending in the trough of the
sea, but, unlike a ship, it did not rise
again but remained in such a slanting
position that 1 began sliding down to-
ward the foot. believe that if it had
not been a bedstead provided with a
1oot-Doard l should have slipped out
upon the floor. I did not jump out
OF bed; l did not do anything. l tried
to think, to understand the situation,
10 md out whether 1 was asleep or
awake, when l became aware of noises
in the room and all over the house,
winch, even through the din of the
storm, made themselves noticed by
thelr popularity. Tables, chairs, ev-
erythlng in the room, seemed to be
grating and grinding on the floor, and
IN moment there was crash. 1
knew what that was; it was my lamp,
wnlch had slipped off the table. Any
DOUBT on that point would have been
dlspelled by the smell of kerosene
winch filled the air of the room. Now.
II was impossible for me to get I'D and
strike light, for to do so, with kero-
sene Oil all over the floor and it's vapor
dlffused through the room, would prob
! ably result in setting the house on fire;
SO must stay in darkness and wait.
40 not think was very much fright
ened-l was SO astonished that there
was no room in my mind for fear. In
fact, all my mental energies were oc-
cupied in trying to find out what had
happened. 1t required, however, only
a few more minutes of reflection and
few more minutes of the grating,
humping, trembling of my house to en-
able me to make up my mind what
, mad happened; my house was sliding
! down hill.

Warm Water for Cows.

A copious supply of water for cows
is as necessary in winter as at other
times Of the year. A COW yielding q
full flow of milk requires daily ten
pounds of water for every hundred
pounds of her own weight But nc
cow will drink as much, or near it, OF
ice-cold water. as she will after the
chill has been taken off. The diminish
ed yield of milk when icy water alone
is supplied comes not alone from the
shock to the cows system, but also
from lack Of sufficient water to supply
her needs.-Orangc Judd Farmer.
