ONE FALSE TAIL FEATHER.
Why a Poultry Exhibitor Lost the Prize Awarded to Him,

EANS AW6T0GQ IO 41m.
 San Francisco Call
 Because of feather that happened to be in the wrong place the judges of Utah's sixteenth annual poultry show at Salt Lake City have reversed the decision which awarded to James Gunter of Ogden first prize for the finest specimen Of the brown Leghorn breed.
 When the experts went the rounds to judge m this particular class they stopped. spell bound with admiration, in front of the pii that contained Gunter's exhibit. a masni- hcent cockerel that strutted about in full realization of his own beauty. The fowl was nearly perfect. according to all the standards Tor Judging such creatures. His plumage was all tnat could De desired, particularly his tail feathers which were all of beautiful shade prize. I
 On the following day one of the judges who happened to pass the brown Leghorr's coop stopped to admire the cockerei. There was something wrong with the bird: his appear ance was not as 1t had been on the day of his triumph. The expert inyestiRated In- side the coop he found one of the gorgeous tail feathers of the fowl reposing on the floor lie he picked 1t up and was much astonished to ind that 1t bore unmistakeable evidences of mans handicraft Then the bird was ex- amined and the trick explained
 Originally Mir. Leghorn had sported a pure white tall feather that was pretty, but which has no business on a pure bred brown Leg horn No fowl in that class with q white feather could hope to win laurels at the poul- try show. Accordingly the white feather was cut of and one of more suitable hue substi- tuted 1ths was done by means of q tooth- pick and bit of silver wire, Q beautiful brown feather being inserted in the Qufll the stump of which remained in the birds an- atomy. The work was executed so cleveriy that the trick would not have been dfscoy- cred had not the transplanted feather in some way got loose
 And fin this borrowed plumaEe Gunter's s pird won the coveted prize. But his triumph was short lived. for the judges reversed their decision and awarded the trophy to another exhibitor. 4" " '

LITTLE KNOWN

SOME REGIONS, THOUGH FAM. otJs ONCE, NOW FORGOTTEN.
Indians oa the San Bias Coast An: Hexed Themselves to America. This Premature Action Be-
 cause of Obnoxious Law.

Chicago Chronicle.
 With the exception of a settled strip along the railroad and the route of the proposed canal, the new republic of Pan- anna Is but little known to the outside world. The country, however, comprises many square miles besides this strip, and in 1t are interesting regions and locali- ties. some of them once famous, but now forgotten.
 The new republic has about 5000 more square. miles of territory than the neigh boring republic of Costa Rica, and 10000 more inhab abitants.
 The canal strip Is thickly populated, but eastward extends a mountainous will derness, interspersed with swamps and jungles. through which Indian trails are wanting. The greater part of this region is practically uninhabited, a few scat tered Indians here and there being the only population.
 There are only two exceptions to the almost universal desolatIon. One is found on the San Bias coast, forty or fifty miles east of Porto Bello. where American CO., coanut importers have established trad ing stations. The San Bias coast is a great country for cocoanuts, and the In- dians bring large quantities of them down to the beach fer shipment. receiving fin return cloth. knives, flour, trinkets and a thousand and one Yankee notlons.'
 sought Uncle Sam's Protection.
 Some years ago an attempt was made by the Colombian government to estab- fish customs service for this coast, and one or two American trading vessels were seized. The Indians were excited, and, after holding a council, declared their independence of Colombia, ran up the American flag and sent word by the first captain who touched at the coast that they had anpexed themselves to the 'uni- ted States. They were little ahead of time. after a while no more was heard of a customs supervision of the San Bias coast and the Indians forgot their tenn porary annexation"

z Founded by Columbus's Widow. The natives drove off the first Span tards who attempted to colonize Veragua, but Columbus'ss widow. Mariasde Toledo. acting for her son. fitted out an expedi- don. which conquereds the country and established a colony. The colony was not success, however, and most of the coionists died Finally. during the Spanish colonial period, veragua was partially settled and brought into the States in which 1t remains to this day. In this region. also, lies the bay called the Chiriqui lagoon, where the United States have long contemplated establish ing naval station.
 The present city of Panama is not the city of romance that was sacked by Nor gan. That city of gold. pirates and con Questadors stood on the beach some five miles to the eastward of the present city. Its ruins are overgrown with a dense tropical jungle. above which rises the tower of the Church where Pizarro of fered his vows before setting out for the conquest of Peru. The Panama of today was built up on it's rocky promontory three years after Morgan had burned the old town.
 There ara many popular beliefs, which may or may not be true. among the ne. BAOoo cHtptoyeu Ou the canal concerning the wilderness stretching to the eastward of the canal strip. One Is that, hidcsn in the forests is an ancient and myste- Hous city to which the Indians repair once year to. take part in the heather rites of an old prehistoric religion. When things get settled down on the Isthmus and the canal is in operation much ex. ploration and archaeological investigation may be expected in the long neglected regions which form part of the new re- public.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t is in Preserving Health and Beauty.


 Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the safest and most efficient disnfect- ant and purifier in nature, but. few real ize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal is remedy that the more you take of 1t the better: 1t Is not drug at. ail,> but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stom- ach and intestines and carries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking. drinking or after eating onions and other ororous vegetables e. Charcoal effectually cleahb and i'm. proves the complexion. 1t whltens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartics " It abSorbs the injurious gases which col. lect in the stomach and bowels; 1t tiisin. fects the mouth and throat from the pol son of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another. but probabl ythe best char coal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered willow charcoal. and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather in the form of large pleasant-tasting lozenges the char coal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health better complexion, sweetsr breath and purer blood. and the beauty of 1t is, that no possible harm can resui. from their continued use, but on the con trary. great benefit.
 A Buffalo physician, fin speaking of the benefits of charcoal. says: T advise Stuarts Absorbent Lozenges to all pa- tients suffering from gas. in stomach ana bowels. and to clear the complexion and purify the breath. mouth and throat: I also believe the liver Is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents, a box at drug stores and although in some sense a patent preparation. yet believe get more and better charcoal In stuart's Absorbent Lozenges than In any of the ordinary charcoal tahistA" AoHl'---tG l

 On the further side of the mountain are
 gold mines, deesrted now for centuries,

 mines and worked them and built on the

 are still to be seen, though the site has long been abandoned. Espirito Santo. the l Spaniards called the mines. They were | closed by order of the king of Spain, be-
 cause they used to attract buccaneers. No archaeologist has explored this lost City of the King" and no one knows | whether the mines of Espirito Santo are still rich in gold and silver or are practi- | cally exhausted. for when the edict of the
 king of Spain went forth the region re- lapsed into a wilderness, such as it was before the northern march of the Incas
 had stopped on the shores of the Gulf of San Miguel.
 In 1854 an American exploring expedi- | ton crossed the Isthmus at this point. Of a party of twenty-seven officers and men who started on the expedition, only :, six teen survived the Journey and got | through, which took over two months, | though the distance travelled was only about fifty miles. A French and Eng
 fish expedition. which started to cross
 at about the same time, was obliged to
 abandon the attempt.
 To the westward of the canal strip the | Republic of Panama Is much more ac- cessible. Is fairly well populated and con- l tains some. towns of considerable size. There, on tbs Caribbean coast, lies tie old Spanish province cf veragua, of the riches of which the Spaniards once had | the highest expectations.
