REMAINS OF HERMAN coRTEs.
Only One Man in Mexico Knows Where
They Are.
From the Mexican Herald.


In a dispatch dated at Madrid, the other
day, II was stated that the Spanish govern
ment had Initiated negotiations with the
Mexican minister at Madrid for the transfer
TO Spain of the remains OF Herman Cortes.
Nothing is known of this matter in the
department of foreign relations, but 1t is
recognized that the mention of the subject
opens up field of highly interesting his
toricai speculation.
Where are the remains of Herman cortes?
To remove them to Spain 1t would be neces-
nary first to find them or. rather. TO locate
them. II is said that there is but one man
in Mexico who knows the secret of the
whereabouts of the remains of the Con-
Queror and that man is the distinguished
lawyer and representative in Mexico OF the
descendants of Cortes. Lieenciado Aiaman.
Moreover, to remove the bones of Cortes
TO Spain would be direct and fragrant vio-
lation OF his last will. He died In the pen
insula In semi disgrace with the court. and
whether II was due to bitterness at that CIR
cumstance or to affection for the land with
which he no doubt foresaw that his name

DRINKING ON THE INCREASE.
Consumption Of Alcohol Said to Be
Growing in the United States.

From the American Magazine.
Alcohol as beverage Is a matter which
still defies scientific management. There
is psychic element which Is beyond con-
troll and which is no doubt at the basis OF
the enormous liquor traffic. Published sta
tistics are so discrepant as to be unreliable,
but we are perhaps safe in stating that the
per capita consumption in Great Britain is
diminishing, but in the United States Is
increasing. It has been said that this is
due to the hard times abroad and the pros
perity here. as 1t is an undoubted fact that
in times Of privation these expensive drinks
are abandoned.
newspaper has stated that over 10000
600 glasses of beer are daily consumed In
the United States. or one for each man.
woman and child If this is true. and 1t
is apparently true. 1t needs explanation.
We are sure that the number of excessive
drinkers is diminishing and that business
reasons require steady Increasing num-
Der of abstainers. Only recently a drunken
teanlster drove wagon over a precipice
in the Yellowstone Park and killed three
passengers, and the incident proves that
in this and in many other employments the
public will demand ahstainers. In spite
of all this, In spite OF the great temperance
movement and in spite of our repeated
proofs of the damage of excess and the
danger of moderation, 1t is evident that the
amount consumed by the moderate drinkers
is steadily increasing.
The psychic effect of alcohol is no doubt
the cause. Under Its sedative influence.
worries SO diminish as to cause one to take
new view Of thfngs-perverted to be
sure, but more or less pleasurable In the
rush of our strenuous life. This is probably
the reason for the reply of drinking mar,
TO the statistics showing the greater longev-
ity of abstainers, that though alcohol may
shorten lives, It seemed to make them
broader and thicker. SO that the bulk was
more In the end. There musts~be some
psychic cause for a phenomenon which no
amount of argument Is abe 10 check Prob
ably 1t is s'gn that we are not living prop
erly-perhaps exhausted from burning the
candle at both ends. With q less strenuous
life we would not need the sedative. and
this Is probably the main lesson to be de-
ton.

MONARCHS WITH MUSCLES.
Wonderful Feats Of Strength With
Which They Are Credited.
From Tt. Bits.

From IT. Bits.
Augustus the Strong of Saxony IN his
playful moods would seize a couple of cour-
tiers. one in each hand and hold them out
at arms length; he would twist stout iron
bars round their necks for collars and
straighten horseshoes with wrench of his
muscular fingers; while on one occasion,
when the horse of one of his attendants
refused to bulge. he put his herculean
shoulders under it and walked away with
horse and rider together.
George Castriot, Prince OF Albania, WELD
ed such a powerful sword that he could
sever bulls head at a single stroke: while
once, for a wager, he walked OF with
ten of his courtiers standing on platform.
Charlemagne, who was reputed to be the
strongest man of his time. was able to
snap the strongest horseshoe between the
fingers of one hand and Don Sebastian,
merely by the pressure of his knees, could
make his charger groan with pain.
Peter the Great of Russia so developed
and hardened his naturally strong muscles
by years of work as a blacksmith and q
carpenter that he became the strongest man
in his dominions. He had but one formi-
dable rival in country blacksmith, whose
boast it was that he was the only man in
Russia who could lift an anvil from the
ground.
When this boast came to the ears OF
Peter he set out incognito, with single
companion, and challenged the blacksmith
10 a tr1al OF strength. WITHOUT a WOrQ the
latter seized his ponderous anvil with both
hands, and straining his mighty muscles
almost to bursting point, raised 1t a foot
from the ground When Peters turn came
he, too, raised the anvil-higher and higher.
until, to his rivals CONSERVATION, he placed
1t on his shoulder and walked out of the
smithy with 1T. So startled was the black
smith by this exhibition of strength that
he rushed away to summon the villagers to
'scome and see the evil one. who had run
away with his anvil"
Peter had worthy successor in Alexander
III, father of the present car, whose phe-
nomenal strength earned for him the title
of the Russian Samson" Amazing stories
are told of Alexanders muscular powers
how he could burst open the stoutest barred
doors by push of his great shoulders,
cruuple up coins in his hand as If they
were leather instead of tough metal. snap
iron bars across his knees, tear a whole
mack of cards in two, and with few
movements of his powerful hands convert
a pewter tankard into a bouquet holder.

In the West there is little chance for
such trouble as the scratches. Jockeys,
overweights and other data FOR the en-
