World That Have Been Re-
Gently Reclaimed.

The closing years of the nineteenth
century were marked with many mo-
table achievements in archaeology.
On the site of ancient Ilium, on the
plains of Persia, and in the mystery
haunted valley of the Nile reyerent
hands unveiled the long-hidden Sc
crets of the past and added
wondrous illumination to our knowl-
edge of the very dawn of history. In
such work it is gratifying to record
that American bounty and enterprise
and scholarship played a most hon.
orable part, this youngest of the
worlds nations being foremost in
making acquaintance with the relics
of the Oldest, says London ex-
change.
Forty years ago Marquis De Vogue
discovered that in that part of Syria
lying back of the Antioch traces of
an ancient civilization of a high or
der. He was able, however, to gain
only peep into the marvellous vol
ume written in mighty monuments
amid the desert sands. 1t was left
for American enterprise in the last
two years of the century to fully UNI
fold the ample pages for the amaze
ment and instruction of the world.
No less than 80 long forgotten cities
have been discovered and identified,
some of them with architectural re-
mains of surprising grandeur and of
exceptional interest as expositions of
the civilization and the social order
that there prevailed.
The admirable workmanship of an
cient times and the climatic condi-
tions of those desert uplands have
served to keep these cities from de-
cay, so that they stand there to-day
substantially as they were 1000 years
ago, and the camera to-day lays be-
fore us scenes upon which Zenobia
may have looked and across which
Belisarius may have swept in tri-
umph. The story is one that reflects
high credit upon the American ex-
plorers who did the work, and upon
the four Americans whose names are
yet modestly withheld. whose gen.
erous bounty supplied the means
through which alone the doing of the
work was possible.

WHEELS HIS MONEY TO BANK.


An old man came toiling into SYRIA.
cuse the other day pushing a wheel
barrow. He stopped in front of the
Salt Springs bank, took two large
satchels from the barrow and went
in. Approaching the receiving win
dow, he began to produce pocket
books. He took one from his hat, an
other from his boots, third from his
pocket, fourth from the heavy col
lar of his long, tattered overcoat and
four others from inner pockets and
Innings of his many coats. He emptied
them of money, which he gave to the
clerk to count. Then he gathered it
all up in his hat and retreated to a
corner of the room, where he re-
manned for two hours fondling the
bills and coins and recounting them,
says the New York World.
Finally he appeared at the window
again and handed the pile in with a
sigh. Taking his two old satchels on
his wheelbarrow, the queer old man
went on to the Onondaga County saw
ings bank and repeated the pro-
gramme, except that this time he
took the money from one of the
satchels. Thus he went to every
bank in the city, depositing what ap-
peared to be a large sum in each one.
1t was late in the afternoon when he
finished and started back trundling
his empty barrow.
At the banks the old man is known
as George w. Todd. For the last 80
years he has made one trip year to
Syracuse to deposit his money and in
all that time has given no other in
formation concerning himself. Years
ago, bank official pressing old Mr..
Todd to give his place of residence,
was told that he lived at Sour Cor
ners, Canada" All the money he de.
posits is Canadian and it is believed
that he walks from Canada.

light, raised those charming and
soaked extremities TO the sill, laid
back her head and closed her eyes to
take, literally, her death of cold.
There she sat for long time, weaving
who knows what wild dreams of love
and death, until she could bear the
chill no more. After which she rose,
made careful toilet, and went down
stairs to dine with her parents and
some guests. In fact, the Willard fam
lily. She was even more than usual gay,
gentle, DESTROYS to please everyone
proudly cherishing her secret of sui

But fate willed to make her ridicu-
lous. The next morning, indeed, she
felt the i'll effects of the mad exposure.
And how? Oh realism, what crimes
against the poetic are committed in
thy name! Truly, neither more nor
less than cold in the head; one of
those colds which are symphony in
sneezes; when the eyes weep on their
own account; when the lips are tumid
and parched and apart, because one

all; the nose-and Alice's was charm

nose-becomes red, swollen, shape

Tragic Muse with the snuffles! Poor
Alice was utterly desolate. She de-
tested her good lungs of vigorous
contralto, which had resisted the cold
damps of the winter twilight; she
hated still more the weak little nose
that had succumbed. BY force of hab-
it she went, few minutes before
three, to watch for the passing of her
dear Anatole. At the supreme mo-
ment her feelings got the better of her
caution; she leaned forward to look
at him; he glanced up, saw her and
bowed. Then derisive smile curled
his mustache; his shoulders gave q

When she saw what Dodd's Kidney

to use them herself, and che says that
they have done her more good than
any other medicine she has ever tried.
"This testimony is given in the hope
that others who may be afflicted as we
were. may see and read it, and be bene-
flied by It."
What Mrs. Keys states in her letter
can be verified by reference to any of
her many friends in this neighborhood,
Dodd's Kidney Pills have already a
wonderful reputation in Todd County.

Alice shuddered into forlorn little
heap; he had seen her so disfgured;
that horrible nose had ended every
thing! Otherwise, at least he might
have loved her. But how could he be
expected to carry forever in his heart
had not been able to kill herself-only
his love! Alice ran to the mirror,
assured herself she was frightful, and
wept bitterly.
Now appeared her mother, very ten
der to her ailing child, with Cousin
Fred, who had answered summons
in place of his principal, out of town
on an important consultation. 1t is
possible that Cousin Fred understood
something of the state of affairs.
slow did you take your cold, Alice?"
he inquired.
II took it on purpose-there!" she
burst forth. Everybody is cruel. Let
me die!"

little cousin. There is but one similar

previously sliced off with so sharp a
sword that he didn't know it until he
exploded sneeze and his head flew
across the room. You, my good Alice,
have an acute coryza, which, being in
terpreted, is bad cold in the head;
and suspect that the larynx, pharynx
and epiglottis-in fact, the whole
Latin quarter of your throat-may
also be somewhat involved. But you
will soon get over it. We get over all
sorts of things, you know" said the
young doctor, with an affectionate
common sense which made Alice feel
little less forlorn.
The next day this assiduous physi-
clan came again, bringing a box of
marshmallow caramels and the latest
bit of gossip-the elopement the even
ing before of M. Anatole Fleury and
Miss Lily vansittart. A telegram had
been received from the pair, welded
in New Jersey; Lily's father. in order
to give the best appearance to the
affair, had allowed it to be reported at
once at the club. Alice blamed bit
terly, in her heart, her impossible nose
as the cause of the sudden detection
of her adorer. "How could hep" she
exclaimed, involuntarily.
"Why not?" rejoined Cousin Fred,

with knives, which pass horizontally
over the surface of the ground, the
implement being drawn by team of
horses. In view of the erstwhile
thrashing floor, the plants are run
through a steam grain separator,
which method not only economies
in time, but obviates all waste or dam
age to the product.
Not the last interesting feature Of
the Lima bean industry is the extern.
sive teaming necessary to transfer
the product from the great ranches
to the seaport and railway shipping
stations. The wagons employed are
ponderous affairs, somewhat resem-
bling the prairie schooner of early
daye, and so immense are the loads
carried that frequently teams of .
dozen draught animals are required
to haul them.
The common valuation of land suit
ed to the cultivation of Lima beans is
necessarily high, from the fact that
almost every acre of land available
to the industry is being utilized, and
is, therefore, difficult to purchase.
When, occasionally, transfers are eff
fected. the bare land brings in tbs
neighborhood of $500 an acre. And
when it is considered that the aver
age acre of the lima bean country
yields its owner upwards of 500 each
season, such an investment might
well be regarded as q bonanza.
