Prehistoric Drntistrx-

George Byron Gordon, the explorer,
contributes an article on "The Mys-
terious City of Honduras" to the
Century The article gives an &C.
count of recent discoveries at Copan.
Mr.. Gordon says:
No regular burying place has set
been found at Copan, but number of
isolated tombs have been explored.
The location of these was strange and
unexpected-beneath the pavement of
courtyards and under the foundations
of houses. They consist of small
chambers of very excellent masonry,
rooted sometimes by means of the hori-
zontal arch, and sometimes by means
of slabs of stone resting on the top Of
the vertical walls. In these tombs
one and sometimes two, interments
had been made. The bodies had been
laid at full length upon the floor.
The cerements had long since nodded
away, and the skeletons themsel res
were in crumbling condition, and
give little knowledge of the physical
characteristics OF the people; but one
fact OF surprising interest came to
light concerning their private lives,
namely, the custom of adjoining the
front teeth with gems inlaid in the en-
amel, and by filing. Although not
ell of the sets Of teeth found had been
treated in this way, there are enough
to show that the practice was general,
at least among the upper classes; for
all the tombs opened, from their as
sociationg with prominent houses,
seem to have belonged to people Of
rank and fortune. The stone used in
the inlaying was a bright green jadeite.
A circular cavity about one -sixteenth
of an inch in diameter was drilled in
the enamel of each OF the two front
teeth of the upper row, and inlaid
with a little disk of iadeite, cut to n
perfect fit, and secured by means Of
bright-red cement.

HE Regiment Got Their Money.

HE Regiment Got Their Money.
When the Civil War broke ont an
immense meeting was held in Bridge
port, Conn, and many men volun-
teered for the army. To the general
surprise, one of the richest men in the
State-Elias Howe, the inventor of
the sewing machine-arose and made
this brief speech:
Every man is called upon to do
what he can for his country. L don't
know what / can do, unless it is to en-
list and serve as Ii private in the
Union Army. l want no position; i
am willing to learn and 10 what l can
with u musket."
But it soon proved that the chronic
lameness from which Howe suffered
incapacitated him from marching with
a musket, even to the extent of stand
ing sentry. Determined to be of use.
however, he volunteered to serve the
regiment as its postmaster, messenger
and expressmau.
Sending home for suitable horse
md wagon, he drove into Baltimore
twice day and brought TO the camp
its letters and parcels. 1t was said
that he would run over half tho State
to deliver letter to some lonely
mother anxious for her soldier bov. or
bring back to him n pair of boots
which he needed during the rainy
winter
For four months after the Seven
teenth Connecticut entered the field
the Government was so pressed for
money that no payment to the troops
could be made, and there was, conse-
quently, great suffering among the
fa,nilies of the soldiers, and painful
anxiety endured by the men them.
selves.
One day n private soldier came
quietly into the paymaster's office in
Washington and took his seat in the
corner to await his turn for an inter
view. Presently the officer said:
well, my man, whist can l do for
yous"
81 have called to see about the pay
ment of the Seventeenth Connection. -
answered the soldier.
The paymaster, somewhat irritated
by what he supposed a needless and
lmpertinent interruption, told him
sharply chat he could do nothing
without money, and that until the
Government furnished some it was
useless for soldiers to come bothering
him about way"
81 know that the Government is in
straits, returned the soldier. 81

The amazed officer asked the name
OF his visitor, who modestly replied.
ELIAS Howe" He then wrote n draft
for the required sum-$31, 900. Two
or three days later the regiment was
paid. When Mr.. Howe's name was
called, he went up to the paymaster's
desk and signed the receipt for S2S. 60
OF his own money.
The officers of neighboring regi-
ment sent over to the Seventeenth

SIeen After Eating.

A derivation Of blood from the
brain to the stomach takes place when
the functions of the brain are partly
suspended by sleep. By so doing tho
brain gains new strength, aud mean
while digestion proceeds energetical-
ly, and soon both body and mind are
refreshed and energized The lower
animals always sleep after eating q
full meal if given the chance to do SO,
and the human being is governed by
the same physiological law. The
stomach, stimulated by its contents of
a good dinner, strives to carry on it's
marvellous chemistry of digestion, and
demands on ample supply OF blood for
the purpose, and obtains it in greater
quantities when the person sleeps.
Among the dyspeptics, or those in
clined to dyspepsia and indigestion,
this knowledge Of the demands OF the
stomach after good meal and prac-
tice OF sleeping afterward should
prove to them one Of the remedial
measures for relief.-"How to 1.-Two
Longer" by Dr. Hayes.

station sergeant as the seedy-looking
stranger asked for place to sleep last
night.
And then the sergeant stared ut the
the fellow with mouth wide open when
he heard him reply:
cts Henry wilhelm wlllingham,

"Well, what's your business?"

: eyeglasses when the fellow said, dra-
matically:

BY this time all of the attaches OF
the barracks had gathered around the
ragged and unkempt stranger. The
sergeant looked as If he was afraid to
ask him any more questions, and the
Constitution reporter took the queer
genius in hand. 1t was evident that
he had stock of old rhymes which
he had coined and memcrized and
kept ready to spin out when he wished
to make himself conspicuous.
''You are something of poet" said
the reporter.
A poet? Nay, call me not that;

time that if you don't go on and 90 to-

1t was thought then the stranger
would then come down to plain every

There was slamming of the sleep

The tramp smiled YEARLY and said:

said:

AS the stranger was being rushed
