s3eorge Byron Gordon, the explorer,
contributes an article ON 1.-THE Mysteri-
Gus City of Honduras" TO The Century.
The article gives an account OF discov'
cries at Copan. Mr.. Gordon says:
No regular burying place has yet
been found at Copan. but number of
isolated tombs have been explored. The
location of these was strange and unex'
pected-beneath the pavement OF court
yards and under the foundations of
houses. They consist of small chambers
of very excellent masonry, rooted some
times by means of the horizontal arch and
sometimes by means of slabs of stone rest.
ing ON the top Of the vertical walls. In
these tombs one and sometimes two in
terments had been made. The bodies
had been laid at full length upon the
floor. The cerements had long since
moldered away. and the skeletons them
selves were in q orumbling condition
and give little knowledge of the phys
ical 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
enamel and by filling. Although not all
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 associa.
tions with prominent houses, seem to
have belonged to people of rank and for
tune. 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 up
per row and inlaid with little disk of
jadeite, cut to perfect fit and secured
by means of bright red cement.

Atomic Dyspepsia.

The ultimate cause of atomic dyspepsia
Is constitutional depression. 1t may be
duo to overwork, and especially to pro-
longed worry. Sometimes the dyspepsia
is the first manifestation OF tubercular
poisoning Again, there seems to be an
inherent failure of the digestive organs.
Once established, dyspepsia Is, In turn, the
cause of loss OF strength, of mental inertia
and visoeral weakness. Some degree of
simple anemia Is almost inevitable. The
exciting cause may be an illness of any
kind, the excessive use Of tea, coffee or
other beverages, the lack of proper food,
some error In habits of eating. Often II

"AULD LANG sYNE."
1hs Original Manuscripts Of the Poem IL
Owned by an Albany Lady.


Mr.. Cuyler Reynolds contributes to
The Century an article on The Manu-
script of Aud Lang Syne. the article
being accompanied by a facsimile Of the
autograph. Mr.. Reynolds says:
The late Chancellor John V. l.. Pruyn
of Albany was the successful purchaser
of "Auld Lang Syne" and the one to
make the autograph one OF Americas
treasures. The facts regarding its re-
moval to this country are of peculiar in
terest and they bring the history OF the
autograph, now more than century
old, up to date.
Mr.. Pruyn was lover of curios, and
particularly Of the kind connected with
an interesting past, and his collecting
showed refinement not evident In the
taste of the usual collector. In 1859 the
centennial of the birthday Of Robert
Burns was made the occasion for cele-
bration in different cities Of the United
States. and the literary people of Albany
decided to observe the day by memorial
exercises in large hall on the evening
of the day. Previous to the event Mr..
Pruyn planned that it would be fea-
ture if he could secure this autograph
copy of the poets "Auld Lang Syne.
Henry Stevens was famous purchaser
for collections in those days, supplying
Mr.. James Lenox, Mr.. John Carter
Brown, the British museum and others
with some of the nost valuable old
works, and thereby hangs tale TO be
told later. He owned the verses in ques-
ton. He was friend of Mr.. Pruyn,
and correspondence regarding the mat
ter in hand began.
The result was that Mr. Stevens sold
the verses to Mr.. Pruyn, and the manu-
script was intrusted to Captain Moody,
who guaranteed that it should reach
Chancellor Pruyn in time for the cele-
bration. His steamship reached New
York late on the day of the celebration,
leaving but few hours to get it to Al
bany, or the mission would prove fruit
less. The only way was for the captain
to select one of his trusty men. With
this special messenger it was sent from
the steamer and conveyed with all dis
patch directly to the hall in Albany.
Mr.. Pruyn was all expectant when,
during the exercises, he was called from
the hall. Though he was gone only
moment, all interest in what was going
on upon the stage was lost for the time
being. Another swing Of the door, and
Mr. Pruyn entered, waving aloft the
manuscript and exclaiming, ut is
here!" With exultant delight and amid
| cries of "'Auld Lang Syne' is with usP'
Chancellor Pruyn advanced to the stage
and read the poem through. Hardly
could the people be prevented from
breaking in upon him, and when it was
| proposed to sing it through enthusiasm
knew no bounds. Never did chorus SO
willingly lend aid, and the familiar air
swelled forth in mighty volume.
The cherished page was bound within
Russia leather covers, and with it was
| placed letter to DIR. Richmond from
| Burns, dated Feb. z, 1888. proving the
I identity of the writing in the poem and
also the letter written to Chancellor
Pruyn by Henry Stevens when sending
the poem to him.
