AN ARIZONA MUMM

Was Once Very Rich Person Of the
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
F. Blundy, who communicated the facts
to George +. Kunz, the New York
diamond expert. Beside the mummy
was basket filled with half-peck OF
turquoses. With the Aztecs green was
a 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
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 withered appearance. This
is due to the rare air in Arizona, which
dries, but seldom has the decomposine
effect of our atmosphere.

Extraordinary Case Of WORD Blindness"
An extraordinary case of word
blindness" is mentioned by DIR. w.
Pringle Morgan. OF Seaford, England.
in the British Medical Journal. 1t Is
that OF well-grown lad OF fourteen,
the son OF intelligent parents. who finds
it impossible to learn to read, though
he has been to school or under tutors
since he was seven years old. All his
life he has been bright, intelligent
boy, quick at games of all sorts, and
in no way inferior to others OF his
age. His name Is Percy, but he sci.
dom succeeds in placing tho five let
tiers composing ii in their correct or
der, and even when he has done so
five minutes later he is uncertain what
they represent. With arithmetic and
algebra he finds no difficulty whatever,
but printed or written words have no
meaning for him. The schoolmaster,
who has taught him for some years,
saws he would be the smartest lad in
the school if the instruction were en-
tirely oral. In a less scientific age
this unfortunate boy would probably
have been thrashed every day of his
school life by an ignorant pedagogue
for not doing that which nature had
deprived him of the power OF doing.

me MANITOBA question Settled.
The long-vexed question Of denom-
national schools in Manitoba, which
has occasioned much controversy in
the courts and in the legislatures of
the province and the Dominion Of
Canada, has been settled, so far at
least as the governments are con-
cerned, by an agreement which pro-
vides for religious teaching in the pub
lie schools at the close of each days
session. Attendance upon this re-
hgious teaching is not to be compul-
sorry, and in schools where there are
both Catholic and nom Catholic pupils,
the time allotted for religious teaching
is to be equally divided. There is to
be no separation Of pupils by religious
denominations during secular work.
Where the average attendance Of Cath
Ollie children reaches a certain number,
at least one Catholic teacher is to be
employed; and corresponding pro-
vision is made regarding non-Catholic
children. Provision is also made for
teaching in both French and English,
under certain conditions. The Roman
catholic hierarchy does not accept the
settlement, and will endeavor to pre-
vent its going into effect.

DIR. MAX1MO ZERTUCHA.

Ek. MkAlMO ZERIUCHA.
formerly surgeon in the army of Spain.
Many years ago he went to Cuba, and
by political intrigue was made the
mayor of the town of Melena in the
province of Havana. He has been more
or less intimately associated with every
political party in Cuba. He was at one
time prominent as leader in the party
Of the autonomists. Next he became
identified with the reformist party
and then he became conservative.
When the present revolution was
sprung Zertucha changed into an out
right rebel and offered his services to
Maceo. He was an able and scientific
surgeon, and was of great service to
the cause of Cuba libre. He is a fin
shed botanist, and his knowledge of
materia medica is extensive. This,
coupled with the fact that he is famil-
lar with the medicinal qualities of
every herb on the island, made him an
invaluable man in the service of the
revolutionary army. He freely gave his
services for the cause of liberty, but his
alleged treason has made his very
name odious throughout the world, and
it is thought vengeful Cubans will
never be satisfied until his body fills a
dishonorable grave.

The C,v,l,.,ns Power Of Irr,sas,oa.

The Civilising Power of Irrigatioa.
The evolutionary process OF the last
twenty years has brought out some
very valuable lessons for the future
of California. It was demonstrated
that irrigation Is essential to the high
est standard OF civilization. The cen-
sus Of 1890 revealed the fact that two
thirds Of the gain In rural population
stood to the credit of eight counties
where irrigation prevailed. The coun-l
ties which rely upon rainfall had!
