Hunting Lafite's Treasure.

L struck O. very romantic character
over at Biloxi the other day." remark
ed Mr.. r. F. Wallis, a prominent gen
heman, the other night, IAN old duffel
whose name ] have not troubled my.
self to recollect, who hus In his poa
session chart telling of hidden treas.
ares OF the fabulous gold and precious
metals Of Latitte. the great pirate. This
Did fellow every now and then buys
up lots somewhere, and they say he
aas already dug up several pots of
gold The people have quit selling
aim lots, and now whenever he wants
% buy a section of land he has to get
IN agent to 10 II, Tor if tue people find
)ut that he wants the land, they refuse
10 sell it, and forthwith proceed to
digging up the place themselves. This
I'D man has chart which came down
% him from LATTE, and which locates
! very large bulk of the Lafitte treas
ares by certain directions. The circu-
lar location of five gum trees is said
10 be the description given in the
chart, that the money will be found
buried under these five trees. The d.
'eetions speak of travelling from Civ
IN point through the woods. Here
comes in all the trouble with this old
gold hunter. From the given point
which he has, in all directions, TO,
some distance, the land has been clear
I'd up, and It is impossible to find the
I've trees. But the people know every
look of the land, and he, together with
'thers, has been digging for years for
t."
Mr.. Wallis tells the story for a fact
laying that the people In Biloxi look
lpon the old man as a crank, though
lie Is known to have dug up two pots
# gold during the past few years.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from mothers Ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer, {"
and young women are so taught.
There is a little truth and great deal
Of exaggeration in this. If young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examine
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letterfrom Miss MARIE
r. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
ray nealtn became so poor that
had to leave school. Twas tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. I was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. was
very weak, and lost SO much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. NV
mother. who Is firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might beneftme and wrote
you for advice. followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as well as /
ever was. Ihave gained flesh and have
a good color. I am completely cured Of
irregularity.n

Good Advice.

Life is too short and full of care and
sorrows for one to be the cause of
adding one feathers weight of trouble
to another's load. Will Carleton, the
poet, in the First Settlers Story"
we believe it was, makes the old man
say, in speaking of his wife. that she
used to stand around and boss the
Job, and by her kind words lifted
whole tons. Kind words have the
same effect the world over. They lift
q fellow out of the slough of despond;
they break the stiffened, set features
OF the worried into pleasant, hopeful
smile. And how much better it is to
cultivate the habit of treating everyone
as though time would come when we
should lay down the mortal form; and
that to Lave behind a character and
reputation of fairness, truth, and
honor is the most enduring of riches.

Neutral Paint Saved Our Ships.

II am delighted to read in the tele

American war ships are being painted

tunda of the other.
white is the color Of peace. and
that Is what suits me-" continued Col.
Onel Brown. 1T suits me especially
when 1t Won in such a glorious fashion
as was set by Dewey and Schley.
When our floating fighting machines
visit other countries they will still be
properly designated as the white navy,
and no prettier or Sturdier ships ever
made burrows in the sea.
This changing in the color of our
ships is expensive, but it is a good
investment. When | was at Santiago
de Cuba on q press boat four weeks
ago took a good look at the war
boats in their fighting paint and it con-
WINGED me that the Yankee who got
up that idea was no beyel-headed anna
teur. He knew what he was doing,
and the government was wise in &C
cepting the suggestion.
1.-The dirty, neutral tint of the YES
sells made them look as if they We're
merging into the marine waterscape.
You could scarcely tell where the ships
ended and the water began, so that it
was much more difficult to draw q
bead On them than if they had been
painted in any clear color. The Span
ards are poor marksmen, ofcOurSe, but
believe that our ships escaped many
a shot and shell by putting on the
neutral tint. Our American Indians
always put on their war paint before
going into battle, and why shouldn't
our fighting ships?'

Deaths from Disease in the Army.

An editorial writer in The Sun gives
the surgeon.general's estimate OF the
number of deaths from disease I'D to
the present time as about 1,5OO, or
only about three. ffths of one per cent.
in total force OF about $50, 900 men.
He cites Konversations-L Lexicon pub
llshed in Leipsic-Brockhaus', we pre-
sume-as stating the loss of life from
disease in the German army during the
Franco-Prussian war to have been
nearly two per cent. A French medi-
cal authority, DR.. Cheun, according to
The Army and Navy Journal (also
cited by The Suns writer, gives the
number of "sick and frostbitten" in
the French army as 339, 421. The
Hlspano American war has lasted thus
far about five months. The Franco
Prussian lasted about seven months.
The advantages of the Germans in be-
ing thoroughly prepared, the writer
thinks, go far to neutralize this dis
parity of duration.

Five Miles From the Earth's Surface.

atory, in their sensational balloon as
cension in London recently, was in
fiated with pure hydrogen, instead of
coal gas, and reached the remarkable
altitude Of q, 500 feet-more than five
miles from the surface of the earth.
This record has only once been ex-
ceeded, in 1862, by Glaisher and Cox
well, who claim to have gone 1900
feet higher. Allowing, however, for
the superiority of modern recording
instruments, and the extreme debility
which overcame the two aeronauts
even at the lower level, there may be
some reason to question whether Cox

ally reached. Scientific American.
