Miss Tarbell's remarkable work with
thorough understanding and apprecia-

not many years back a company, well
provided with funds, made extensive
excavations in the Pedregal, near Co.
yoacan, on spot indicated by tradi-
ton. A series of subterranean cham
bers was found, but no golden sun.
Both in Mexico and Peru gold was
hidden away from the greedy con-
quistadores by the Indians, Who cher
ished the hope of making a successful
rising against their conquerors. That
hope has long died away, though much
Of the hatred for the race Of the con-
quistadores remains in the breast Of
the aborigine.
It is quite probable that some fine
day much Of Montezuma's hidden
treasure may. be found here, by a
lucky hit. Perhaps it is concealed in
an idol cave in the southwestern part
of the Sierra surrounding this valley,
a cave Of which stories have been
told among the Indians. Whence has
come the gold that Indians living in
these mountains, SO close to the city,
have brought here and sold to their
legal representative? There is a mys-
terry in all this, and greater mystery
in the whereabouts of Montezuma's
treasure which remains untouched

Hidden Gold in Mexico

Whether the report of the discovery
of the Incas' treasure at Chayaltaya,
Bolivia, is true or not, it is certain
that the conquistadores did not get
all the gold of the last Inca of Peru,
nor all the gold and precious jewels
of the Mexican monarch, The story
Is that the Incas' treasure, withheld
from Pizarro and now discovered in
Bolivia, is worth $16,0O0,o00, and that
the Indians believe there is still much
more hidden away. Pizarro received
great sum from the Inca whom he
SO cruelty treated and then killed. but
in so doing he missed a greater
amount, which the Inca hoping to
save his life, promised his tormentor.
In this country one sometimes hears
talk OF a great golden sun and other
treasure hidden securely from the
early Spaniards. One gentleman who
has the blood of Montezuma in his
veins and in whose family the tradi-
ticns of the times Of the conquest
have been preserved, has said that
probably fully $SO,0OO,OOO worth of
treasure escaped the hands of Cortes
and his followers. Where is this treas
ure hidden? Some have said that it
was thrown into Lake Texcoco, and

MarvelS Of the GangeS

The bank of the river Gauges, says
a traveller, is one of the most pic.
turesque and imposing panoramas you
can imagine. It rises from the water
at steep grade, and is covered with
a series Of terraces upon which have
been erected towers, temples, mosques,
palaces, shrines, platforms and pavil-
ions, bathing-houses, hospices for pill
grims, khans or lodging-houses, hos
pitfalls and other structures for the &C
commodations of the millions of peo-
pie who come here from every part of
India on religious pilgrimages and
other missions. These structures
represent an infinite variety of archi-
lecture, from the most severe sim
plicity to the fantastic and grotesque.
They are surmounted by domes, pin
nacles, minarets, spires, towers, Gu
polas and canopies; they are built of
stone, marble, brick and wood; they
are painted in every variety of colors,
sober and gay; the balconies and win
dows of many of them are decorated
with banners, bunting in all shapes
and colors, festoons of cotton and silk,
garlands of flowers and various ex-

probable the wonderful effects attrib-
uted to this stone were due more to
the faith of the patient than to the
substance itself.
The beryl was said to help "deflux-
ions of the throat" and the sardonyx
"to make men cheerful and avert mel
ancholy." The chrysolite was reputed
to ward off fevers, while the onyx,
when worn around the neck, was be-
lieved to prevent epileptic fits. The
opal was said to cure weak eyes, and
the bloodstone was often carried by
warriors to arrest bleeding from a
wound.
1t will be seen from this list, which
might be considerably extended, that
the physicians of old had in precious
stones formidable armament to CON-
bat many of the diseases flesh is
heir to. Whether their modern de-
scendants will be bold enough to try
their effects remains to be seen. Who
knows but we may yet hear of the
specialist in nervous diseases pre-
scribing powdered jasper for his cpl
leptic patients, nor need we be sur
prised to see the "amethyst cure" ad-
vertised as the latest treatment for
inebriates!

Gems to Cure Ills

Many of the precious gems that are
so highly valued as ornaments were
oEce supposed to possess curative
powers. The amethyst, for instance,
was the stone of temperance and So

|earer from strong drinks and from
indulging in too much sleep. Further,
it was believed to quicken the wits
and drive vapors from the, head-al-
together most desirable gem to have
about ones person. Amethysts should
certainly become fashionable. Pearls
were administered in cases of con-
sumption, and, when powdered, were
recommended in ten-grain doses to
strengthen the heart Besides these
virtues they were believed to fortify
the nerves, cure weak eyes, old age
and even "a cordial to resist the
plague when taken in doses of six
grains in water sweetened with man.

From the Sparrow Hills at Moscow
one who has sufficient patience can
count 555 gilded and painted domes;
from the cupola of st. Peters one may
look down upon the roofs of palaces,

other place; around the fire tower at
Pera are spread the marvellous glories
of STEAMBOAT, the Golden Horn and
other parts of Constantinople; from

typical cities Of the east; from the
Eifel Tower all Paris and it's suburbs
may be surveyed, and there are many
other striking panoramas of artificial
scenery, but nothing on Gods foot
stool equals the picture Of the holy
Hindu city that may be seen from the
deck of boat on the Ganges. It has
often been described in detail, but it

u S. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROL INA,
Recommends Pe-ru-na
For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble.
Catarrh of the Stomach is Generally
Called misunderstanding to
>:*e Produce Artificial Digestion
:. his Generally Taken. ::'@.>s.
Hence, Pepsin, Pancreatin and a Host
Of Other Digestive Remedies
Has Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the
Seat OF the Difficulty, Which -.
is Really Catarrh.

Tx. q. s. Senator M. c. Butler from
II South Carolina, was Senator from
that State for two terms. In a
recent letter to The Peruna Medicine
Co., from Washington, d. c., says:
~ can recommend Peruua for dvs.
pepsia and stomach trouble. I have
been using your medicine for 4 short
period and ! feel very much relieved.
1t Is Indeed q wonderful medicine be-
sides good tonic. IN. C. Butler.
The only rational way to cure d vs.
pepsia is to remove the catarrh. Peruna
cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce
artificial Digestion. It cures catarrh
and leaves the stomach to perform diges-
ton in a natural way. This is vastly
better and safer than resorting to arti-
fetal methods or narcotics.
Peruna has cured more cases of dys-
pepsia than all other remedies COM
bined, simply because it cures catarrh
wherever located. If catarrh is located
in tho head, Peruna cures it. If catarrh
has fastened itself in the throat or
bronchial tubes, Peruna cures it. When
catarrh becomes settled in the stomach,
Peruna cures it, as well in this location
as in any other.
Peruna is not simply remedy for
dyspepsia. Peruna is catarrh remedy.
Peruna cures dyspepsia because it is
generally dependent upon catarrh.
