THIS DISEASE PUZZLES
hEOPOLITAN DOCTORS
Attacks Tenants Who Invade "The
Field of Death"

ROME. June 27.-In the district OF
Tore del Greco. not far from Naples,
there is q field which the peasants call
The Field of Death" because every
tenant who has attempted to cultivate
the ground has died in a few days OF
mysterious disease which physicians
declared was absolutely new.
The symptoms are violent pains in
the head sudden fushes in the cheeks.
followed by CHASTITY pallor, and within
three days the victim always dies. For
ten years the ground has remained un-
titled. Recently a man named Rocco
Santo returned from America and ask
ed permission Of the owner to cultivate
IL. This was readily granted. At the
end of the eighth day he became III of
the mysterious malady and in forty
eight hours he died. The peasants viii

The Presbyterians of the United
States are divided into several branches.
each branch having a distinct organi-
zation. The Associate Reformed Pres
byterians. found IN the South and com
monty known as "Seceders," constitute
one of the branches.
The "Seceders," who are psalm sing
ers. are a type of Presbyterianism as it
existed in Scotland, its original home,
where only psalms, the hymns of the
ancient Hebrews. were admitted as
proper to be sung in religious worship
relaxation in this regard long since
took place among PresbyteTians in most
other countries, hymns of human COM
position being permitted to be used in
church services equally with the inspired
songs Of the Bible.
In this country the Scottish OF psalm
singing branches OF the Presbyterian
Church in the North and West coaIesced
in 1858. under the name OF United
Presbyterians," but the psalm singing
Presbyterians of the South held aloof
from the coalition and retained their
old name of Associate Reformed Pres
byterians."
Now Trying to Unite.
These two bodies of psalm singing
Presbyterians have for several years
been considering the subject of organic
union The Rev. oliver Johnson. /oi

body of that denomination, bore the fra

The greetings reciprocated in cordia

The British museum. the great Euro
pean storehouse of things out of the
ordinary, has hundreds of Egyptian
mummies of all dynasties carefully
slowed away within its walls. Some of
these are comparatively recent efforts
at embalming, and others date back to
the wide revolving shades OF centu-
ries past" The oldest Of the entire col
lection Is the mummy of Mykerinos.
He was king in Egypt In what Is
known to history as the fourth dynas-
ty" and wore his golden tiara and sat
on the throne of thrones 4 1000 years be-
fore the wise men followed the sIar of
fate till 1t stopped over that iowly
hovel in Bethlehem where the infant
Jesus lay.
Mykerinos was the builder OF the
third pyramid at GiZeh. where his
headless mummy was discovered In
the year 1896. The stone coffin in
which he was being transported TO
England was lost ut sea and lay at the
bottom Of the ocean for two years be-
fore being recovered. 1t is seldom that
a mans bones are subjected to vicissi-
tudes, especially 5000 or 6,0OO years
after his death.

you buy thin paint in a can with paint

want fourteen gallons of paint buy
only eight gallons of L. & M, and mix

You need only four gallons of L. &

Houses painted with these paints

The IbOs on the Niger.

Ivory anklets, often very heavy, are
only worn by the Ibo women of wealth
and Importance, but the metal anklets
worn by others may be many pounds
in weight, and some of them wear huge
brass plates, perhaps foot in diam
eter, which, once fixed to the ankles,
are never removed. The men wear Il
single strip of cotton cloth, but those
who come much in contact with the
Europeans are now learning to wear
trousers. Their weapons are flint
locks, bows and spears, the latter both
for hurling and thrusting.
The huts are built of mud and mat
ting and are quadrangular in shape.
The center Is an open courtyard, at
one end of which Is the apartment of
the head of the house, while the wives
and family are accommodated in other
rooms on the right and left of the
courtyard. There Is no furniture or
ornament and but a few household
utensils and weapons.-All the Year
