Small Bathroom Fixtures.

Persons building new homes, or re-
placing plumbing in old ones, will do
well to make round of the high
class plumbing shops before ordering
new fixtures, as the development in
this work is constant. Bathtubs are
made very much smaller than the
regulation size a few years ago.
While it is mistake and an incon-
venience to have tub too small. it
is likewise true that the old fash
ioned tub was unnecessarily large.
Where room is at all an object, the
size can be reduced fully one-third
without detriment. Standing towel
racks entirely of nickel are to be had,
although they cannot be considered
better than the nickel and glass towel
bars.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Prof. Coburn, of the Kansas state
board of agriculture, does not share
in the opinion regarding the crop loss
in that state as a result of the late
drought. The loss to hay and corn
is quite made up by the great crop of
Kafir corn and alfalfa, of which there
are 100000 acres; then, too, the
state has 100000 bushels of old
corn on hand.

81 worth of comps" and is thus

he is begrudged the room he occu-
pies, for if his comps" were paid
tickets the troupe would be much
more in pocket. He blows and putfs
church festival free to any desired
extent and does poster printing at
half rates, and rarely gets thank

his duty as an editor. He does more
gratis work than any ten men in the

for it, while the man who donates 10

VIII the Original New
Testament be Found ?
From a Beyrout Correspondent.

lCoNatnCGI DC fOuOu
From Beyrout Correspondent.
Among the books found in the
mosque at Damascus is a series of ten
books, written in a beautiful gilt Gu
fic, beginning with the smallest sized
coran ever seen, and ending in one as
large as the one in the Native library
at Cairo. Nazen Pasha has called a
military and civil committee, and
made them take an oath that not a
single piece of paper shall leave the
room in which they are kept. The
books are kept in sacks and boxes,
and every evening every member of
the committee must fix his seal to
these, and they cannot be opened un-
less all the members are present.
The German academy entertains
great hopes that the original New
Testament may be there, too. The
German Emperor has written to the
sultan on the subject, and it has been
decided that German professor shall
be sent to Damascus to try to find it.

to embark on these two vessels.
The pirate vessel lay outside of the port
of Acapulco, cruising up and down, wait
ing until these two vessels should come
out. One morning about six weeks after
the pirate vessel first arrived off Acapul
co, the confederates on shore notified thei.
captain that the two vessels were heaving
up anchor and ready to sail.
Captain Benito Immediately stood to-
ward shore and saw the vessels just
rounding the heads Of Acapulco harbor.
He had his cannon loaded with grape shot
and sailed right alongside Of the first
Spanish vessel. Without any warning he
poured shot into her. The first discharge
Of the cannon killed most of the crew on
the Spaniard. The pirate then sent half
of his men on board to kill the rest and
take the vessel, in which they succeeded.
as hardly any resistance could be offered.
The second vessel saw what happened
and turned about to re-enter the harbor,
b,,t could not make any headway against
the wind and tide. The pirate attacked
her. but could not come near enough for
boarding. The crew loaded their cannon
with round shot, and after considerable
work disabled the Spanish vessel. They
then sent boats to her and took possession
and killed every soul on board.
This vessel was sinking very quickly
and they could not get more than half of

Y n 1920 Captain Don Pedro Benito, COM
manding the brig Relampago, found
the waters of the Caribbean Sea too
warm to continue his piracies, so he
took on board Of his vessel lot or
gold and silver: the rest he left buried
on an island in the West Indies. sailed
through the Straits Of Magellan, and then
landed and cached lot Of provisions In
case he should need them. After this he
sailed up the west coast Of South America,
and when he came abreast OF the island Of
Juan Fernandez, some OF his crew mutt
MED and wanted the vessel to call into
Valparaiso.
The captain compromised with the crew
by sailing to Valparaiso and putting the
mutineers into a boat with permission to
go on shore. promising TO lay off the har-
Dor for three days. AS soon as the boat
was out of sight the captain put on all
the sail he could and sailed northward.
off the northern part of Peru he fell in
with a Spanish Government galleon bound
for Spain, loaded with particularly rich
lot of treasure, which the Spanish Gov
ernment wished to ship to Spain on ac-

dominion, which was then beginning.
They sailed alongside of the galleon,
boarded her and overcame the crew. They
transferred the treasure from the galleon
to their own vessel. and then sunk the
Spaniard. Having this immense treasure
on board, estimated at many millions, the
captain did not know of a suitable place
where it might he landed.
After many proposals were made and
rejected, the captain came to the conclu-
sion that Cocos Island being 300 miles
off the coast of Central America and out
of the beaten track of vessels would be
the most suitable place to go to. He and
his men came to the island, found plenty
OF fresh water and most luxuriant tropi-
many natural resources-in fact, a veri-
table paradise. They made up their minds
to establish their future headquarters
there and go on cruising from the island i.
which by the way contains magnificent
sheltered harbor.
After they buried on the island all they
had on board, they sailed along the coast
and met a fishing vessel, from which thew
obtained the information that the revolu-
tionary war of independence against Spain
had broken out in Mexico. They sailed IN
a couple of boats with their most trusted
men, who mixed in the port with the
crews of two Spanish vessels lying in the
harbor at that time.
They were informed that the richest

rest Of the pirates on the first captured

vessel and took everything Of value out
of her, also provisions. They shaped their
course for Cocos Island and moored their
vessel there and began to station lookouts
on several points of the island. to warn
them Of the approach of other vessels.
One gang was sent on shore with the mate
to dig cave In sandstone on the side OF
a mountain, and one party Of men was
sent to the point where the brig was
moored to make large excavation. In
this excavation they put more than l5O
tons, or more than 300 900 pounds of silver

Cocos treasure troveP
Would you like to dip your finger
into a pie consisting of 800, 900
pounds of silver, and gold crown in
laid with priceless Jewels, and 733
gold bricks, and several other trinkets
of the same nature?
Anybody is welcome to have try
az this finding, to dip a finger in this
pie-anybody, that is, who cares about
humping up against a Costa Ricaa
gunbcat and q force of Costa Rican
soldiers.
That is the way that August Giss-
Ter, Governor Of Cocos Island, repub-
lie Of Costa Rica, intends to welcome
anybody who is overcurious about his
treasure trove-
Let them try it, says he. He read
very recently that a company from
Victoria, B. c., was about TO start out
with a capital of $4,000 to make p
search for the treasure. It was said
that the company had secured plans
Of the island from the widow of a
Nova Scotia mariner who had found
the treasure once, but had been forcel
to leave it behind.
When the Governor of the island
Y read Of this scheme he wrote excitedly
TO the Consul General of Costa Rica
WHO holds forth in San Francisco. Ha
wanted the Consul to take steps to
etop the thing.
"Allow me to inform you," wrote
he, ''that no company with any such
intent would have the right even to
land on Cocos Island, as I hold con-
cession from the Costa Rican Govern
nent in regard to the said treasure,
and in which concession the Costa
1lican Government has an interest.
Certainly anything that might be un.
aeraken by such a company from
Victoria would amount to naugh.
without my consent"
Evidently the Governor of Cocos
was very much annoyed. He may
have been somewhat ruffied. His jus
tifcation lay in its all being about
20 sraali matter.
\ For when you read his story of the
treasure trove you will realize that it
Is a very neat little fortune that he

varfon. Then they put come kegs of pow
der above it to cover the hole and blew
up the mountain. They left certain marks
cut in the rocks, which are there to this
day.
In the other excavation which the mate
had made they put 733 gold bricks 4x3
inches and two inches thick and alongside
of them they put 273 gold hilted swords.

vegetation will make the uncovering of
these riches very difficult.
But they are there. I have been on
Cocos Island since 1889 and I know
whereof 1 write. This densely wooded
little island of only twenty-four square
miles is the storehouse of a treasure
such as romance conceives. And this Is
