The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1904-09-19

What we read in books we see here
at the worlds fair in material form.
We read Egyptian history and learn
about the many gods OF the Egyptians
Here are those gods as real as they
were to the Egyptians. We read about
their sacred things, and those sacred
things are here. thousands of years
old. and we become intensely inter
ested il we ask few questions Of the
curator in charge, Arthur B. Cooyer.
In a case by themselves are ranged
the little images emblematical of the
spirits whose favors the pious Eygp-
tians sought. Here are Horus, the
youth; Pasht, the cat; Apis, the sacred
bull; Ptah. the old man; Bes, the
dwarf; Osiris. god Of the dead; Hathor,
the god Of love; Imhotep. the god OF
learning, with scroll upon his knees;
Thoth, the ibis headed scribe Of the
gods; the sacred hawk the scarabaeus,
or sacred beetle: Anon. the bearded
god of royalty. The deities are of
faience. usually blue, and many Of
them of sizes so small that they might
have sold in the racket stores Of Car
thage or Thebes at 10 cents the dozen.

In the case with the images Is a
coll Of reed rope, the earliest form OF
rope known. Beside it ID a wooden
intaglio stamp supposed to have been
used by an ancient Egyptian baker in
marking his bread one of the earliest
evidences of the spirit OF advertising.
4 am sure loaf Of bread with the
bakers name on It in raised letters is
preferable to one bearing a gummed
label. for the reason that the label al
ways raises in the mind a question as
to the method of moistening the label
before applying.

The fire department In an Indian vii
lage was not as efficient as 1t might
have been; otherwise we might not
have had some Of the rare exhibits to
be found in the Ohio section in the
Hall Of Anthropology. Tie Indian
storehouse of 500 to 1000 years ago
was a hole In the ground lined with
bark or straw, over which was cover
The corn and beans and hickory nuts
were here carefully stored away
against the cold season. Sometimes
the wind would blow brand Of fire
from the family hearthstone in front
Of the tepee along the ground and set
fire TO a bit of the exposed straw or
bark Of the storehouse. In the exhibit
from the Gartner mound we have the
evidences Of such a calamity Here are
some corn parched not less than 500
years ago, some burnt beans and half
burnt hickory nuts. Here are some
corncobs that resisted total combus-
ton In a storehouse fire In a village OF
unknown name. All these things are
prehistoric.

Coinage Record Broken.

San Francisco. April 4.-The coin
age of gold at the mint in this city
begun last February was concluded
last week Superintendent Leach said
regarding the coinage:
THE mint has undoubtedly broken
all records for gold coinage since the
Use of money began in civilization.
The amount coined this month reached
the enormous sum of $33 3.113,5 500. an
average of more than $1.00O,000 day.
in fact. the deliveries to the superin-
tendent from the coming department
during the last four days averaged ST.
$4,000 per day. This. with the sum
of $21 1.5S0,O00 coined In February,
makes total of $54 ,693. 500. In weight
this amount would make more than
10 tons, or a little more than four
big carloads of twenty-five tons each.
"A research of books and records
pertaining to coinage matters fails to
show any account of a coinage exc
cuted in the same length of time equal
to this in any of the other nations Of
the world"

Japanese Charms.

Paris. April A st. Petersburg cor
respondent of the Petit Parisienne says
the Russian soldiers have been deeply
Influenced by widespread legend that
the Japanese possess magnetic stones
capable of rendering their adversarie5
ruwerless. Officers are endeavoring to
restore confidence among the men. who
are convinced that they are fighting
against sorcerers.
st. Louis. April An addition to
the $15O,000 offered by the Worlds
Fair to the winners in the aeronautic
contests. change in the rules has
been made by which prizes in the
shape of testimonials. medals and the
like will be offered to those contest
ants who have not won cash prizes.
but who have made meritorious per-
formances in the balloon or airship
races.
This change was made In connec-
tion with the invitation extended
some time ago by the exposition man
.agement to the Archduke Leopold Sal
ivator of Austria to take part in tho
contests.

In the Sprinu.

Lowndes, Mo-. April 4th.-Mrs. H.
C. Harty of this place. says:
For years was in very bad health.
Every spring l would get SO low that
| was unable to do my own work l
seemed to be worse in the spring than
any other time of the year. l was
very weak and miserable and had
much pain in my back and head. |
saw Dodds Kidney Pills advertised
last spring and began treatment Of
them and they have certainly done me
more good than anything l have ever
used
II was all right last spring and felt
better than l have for over ten years.
l am fifty years of age and am strong
er to-day than | have been for many
years and | give Dodd's Kidney Pills
credit for the wonderful improve
ment"
The statement of Mrs. Harty Is only
one of great many where DQdd's
Kidney Pills have proven themselves
to be the very best spring medicine.
They are unsurpassed as a tonic and
are the only medicine used in thou
sands of families.

III Wind for a Biaamist.

The same cyclone that made James
McInerney homeless in Indiana Har-
Dor this spring fcSnd a new home for
him in the Indiana penitentiary. Jus
tice. moving almost as fast as the cy'
clone itself. has decreed that he serve
five years at hard labor for bigamy.
Had it not been for the wind storm
which destroyed McInerney's house
and left him with slight injuries. his
whereabouts might never have become
known to the wife who has Just
brought about his conviction.
Mrs. Olive Angelais McInerney OF
Chicago, who claims that McInerney
deserted her in Hamilton, Ontario. IF
teen years ago. chanced to see his
name published in the list of those in
jured by the storm. The result was
the identification and arrest of McIn
erney, who two years ago was married
to young girl of the Chicago suburb.

Butted In Again.

Where have you been all this

ing him cordially by the hand.
Been serving on jury replied the
other man.
81 can sympathize with you said
Mr.. Makinbrakes. 1T must have been
good deal of bore. Isn't it curious
by the way, that they always seem to
want ignoramuses on jury nova
days? They never take anybody that

thing-for they do once in while get

To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new
things of everyday use in the market
and who is reasonably satisfied with
the old, we would suggest that u trial
of Defiance Cold Water Starch be
made at once. Not alone because It
is guaranteed by the manufacturers
to be superior to any other brand.
but because each 10c package con-
tains 16 ozs.. while all the other kinds
. contain but - ozs. 1t Is safe to say
that the lady who once uses Defiance
Starch will use no other. Quality
and quantity must win.

AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY,".
Cork Reported at the Annual Meeting
in Washington.


The annual meeting of the American
Tract Society was held in the Church
of the Covenant at Washington, March
goth. Justice Brewer presided and
made a brief address setting forth the
general work of the Tract Society,
both in the home and foreign field. He
emphasized the necessity OF this work
as well as showing that there was no
other agency so well equipped to fur
nish Christian literature in the many
language and dialects.
Rev Judson Swift reported the
years work. and William II. Taft, sec
retary of war, delivered an address
which gave an account of the progress
in the Philippines, relating particular;
iy to education and Christianity.
The secretary of the society said
that eighty-nine new publications haG
been added to the list during the year.
These were in English, Polish Bohe-
mian. German. Hungarian, Spanish,
Swedish and Italian, and the total
number of distinct periodicals added
was $50, making the grand total of
publications issued since the organiza-
tion Of the society, including volumes,
tracts and periodicals, 749 ,315,572.
The tract society furnishes all or
nearly all of the Christian literature in
the Spanish language and during the
year has distributed in the American
colonies upward of 900, 600 pages and
the total for the year in the Spanish
speaking countries is 5,3l2,000 pages.
Six colporteurs are laboring in Cuba.
The work among the Mormons In
Utah is of intense interest. The dis
tribution of Christian literature by
colporteur wagons and colporteurs
reaches thousands of homes. placing
wholesale reading in the hands of the
youth.
The society has expended total of
three-fourths of a million dollars in
creating and circulating Christian YER
nacular literature at the foreign mis-
sion stations. The great need of the
foreign field at the present is a large
increase Of Christian literature. Many
of the missionaries state that the edu-.
cation OF the youth at the mission
schools will be largely in vain unless
sufficient amount of Christian and
wholesome literature is provided for
them upon their graduation. This Is
particularly true of India and Japan.

TROOPS LEAVING
ORDERED HOME FROM TELLU-
RIDE.
Several Companies Of National Guard
Relieved from Field Duty.

Relieved from Field Duty.
Denver. April 4.-Word was re-
ceived in Denver yesterday to the eff
feet that most of the troops which
went to Telluride recently were ordered
home by General Bell yesterday, leav-
ing Ridgway on special train at 8
o'clock in the morning. The troops
coming to Denver are expected to ar
rive hero about noon to-day.
The two cavalry troops of Meeker
ground in charge of General Bell, but
the infantry to the number OF about
$50 men have been relieved. Governor
Peabody was in Canon City all day
yesterday and the reason for SO many
men returning at this time is not forth
coming. 1t is probable however. that
General Bell has discovered that there
is little necessity existing at the pres
'ont time for SO many troops in the
field. He ordered the men on board
the train Saturday night under sealed
orders and it was thought possible
they We're going to San Juan and Ouray
counties. where there had been rumors
of disturbances for some time. The
order to return home when it was
opened proved surprise to the men as
well as their officers.
The special trains consists of two sec
tons. On board the first section are:
Col. Lewis Barnum, commanding; Capt.
Charles d. Lewis, adjutant; Lieut.. E.
S. Young with Company ID, Second in
fantry; Lieut.. e. A. Nicholas, commits

Hall with Company B, Second infan-
try; Lieut. e C. Baker. with Company
G. Second infantry; Capt. Cattermole
and the medical staff with three sick
men enlisted from Company + and two
sick men from Company NJ.

Company NJ. of the Second; Sergeant
Manning of Company X and eight

General Payne improving.

Washington, April 3.-Postmaster
General Paynes condition has i'm
proved sufficiently to permit him to
come down stairs. He was anxious to
go out for a drive to-day, but this was
deemed inadvisable because of the cool
weather. Preparations are making
for the postmaster generals southern
trip. on which he expects to start this

Maine Mountain oisappear..

According to Caribou, Maine. dis
patch, woodsmen recently brought
news that Bald mountain, small.
steep hill in the Tlboque valley. only
a few miles from the New Brunswick
line, has disappeared. In its place a
small lake now exists. 1t is believed
the mountain dropped out of sight dur
ing the earthquake of March 2lst and
that the tremor which then shook New
England really had its birth In the
Maine woods.
Bald mountain was an odd-shaped
cone with extremely steep sides and
was seldom explored. The general be-
lief is that it was the crater Of an
extinct volcano. Around the base of
the mountain small hot springs once
existed and the rock formation in the
neighborhood bears evidence OF vol
canic origin.
