s. the Isthmus OF Panama the cradle OF
E the human racer Archaeologists have
often amused the world with curious
Il speculations on this puzzle, but now
there comes from mysterious Mexico
the definite discovery that down in Yuca-
tan the Turkish language is this very day
spoken by certain tribes almost in its pur-
Ity,
These tribes are not mongrel Immigrants
They are the simon-pure natives or tne
very heart Of ancient Mexico. that Mexico
which still In secret worships the sun and
the stone serpent and sacrifices It's nia1dens
upon stone affairs; that Mexico where a
regiment of Diaz's soldiers sent now and
then vanishes as silently as the mist
The students of the University of Cam
peche, who under the encouragement OF
the Mexican government, have gone deep
into the subject of Maya antiquities, have
inst taken a pure-blooded Turk to the
tribes of the interior and found to their ut
ter amazement that he could converse flu
entity with the natives, who until twenty
vears ago probably never knew that there
We're white men in the world, save as Toll
tee tradition had brought them the story Of
the god Coaxacoahtl.
Thus a flood of new light is cast upon the
problem by which students may go on 20
fr sh discovery. And thus, moreover, the
theory of the noted lie Plongeon, once
theme for mirth, that here in the -sthnus
and not in Asia was the cradle of the race
is given new force and substance
This has long been current belief among
the men who have lived insthese ruins and
devoted quiet years to the study of them,
such as Stephens, Norman, Maudsley and
the unassuming Austrian, Mailer, who came
to Mexico as young lieutenant in the train
OF the Inflated Emperor Maximilian- But
until this recent discovery no broad and
definite proof was had.
The Spaniards found in the Mexican
speech words for many things which CO.
incided with their own, and wondered at 1t.
Travellers and curious minded people Of the
Pacific slope marked that the Indians and
Chinese had many words in common, and
that Spanish. which is half Arabic, resem-
bled them both. This was easily explained,
in way. The Arab speech. like that OF
Persia, was Mongolized by the conQuering
hordes Of Tamerlane and Genghiz Khan,
who swarmed westward to all the coasts
Of the Mediterranean. The Arabic that was
taken 10 Spain was tinged with Chinese
In Mexico, the wise men have reasoned, 1t
met again with its own kind. The narrow
passage Of Berlng strait has always served
as an explanation.
It is probable that this discovery of the
students of Campeche University will throw
light upon another of the most bafhing
puzzles with which modern archaeologists
have had anything to do.
The Egyptian Sphinx, symbol of silence
has given up its secret; the pyramids have
surrendered their royal dead The strange
writings of Susa and Persepolis are as plain
to the scholars of today as a dry goods
store lad" But before the ruins of an
cient Mexico, hidden as many of them are
in the depths of almost impenetrable for
ests the lone white man has stood dumb
and helpless.
Here are ruins that will not talk, but
seem rather to laugh in the warm Mexican

has clambered over it all and pored over

peror converses with him. If the CONVEX
sation lasts half an hour the officer must
remain in this attitude for half an hour
Men who are not officers must remain bare
headed when the emperor addresses them
and must remain bareheaded until he has
ceased to converse with them. There is no
exception to this rule and the imperial
chancellor, Prince Buelow. has to follow 1T
with the same exactitude as any workman
whom the kaiser may address during his
drives.

curious incident occurred during the
Kiel week of 1904. when the kaiser invited
about five hundred guests to afternoon tea
on board his steam yacht Hohenzollern.
Among the guests was the American yacht
owner. Commodore Plant. the owner of In
gomar. which had beaten the kaiser's own
yacht Meteor in every big race. During the
tea the kaiser. wishing like true sports
man to do honor TO his successful rival
walked up to Commodore Plant and ad-
dressed some friendly words to him. Com
modore Plant not only kept his hat on his
head. but just as the kaiser addressed him
gave II a rakish tilt With his hat askew
and his hands thrust deep into his trousers
pockets. Commodore Plant listened to the
friendly and complimentary words which
the kaiser addressed to him. The kaiser
was SO annoyed by the American million
aires lack Of respect that he abruptly broke
on the conversation, turned on his heel and
walked away without completing sentence
which he had begun.
Ladies who are admitted to the presence
OF the kaiser must curtesy so low that they
almost lie upon the ground at his feet. All

School Girls Should
Have Immaculate Hands
BY MARGARET E. SANGsTER.
Copyright, 1908, by Joseph B. BowIes.)


A pretty hand is desired by every girl.
What is pretty hand2 l suppose we
shall agree that 1t is one which is white
and dimpled with rosy finger tips, nice
nails and small joints. Large, obtrusiye
knuckles, hands that are too thick and
pudgy, or too thin and scrawny to be SYM
metrfcal. are not precisely beautiful But
SO far as the size and shape of our hands
are concerned. we have to take them as
they come We are born with the hands
OF our ancestry. but care of the hands is
our own, and has far more to do with
keeping them beautiful than some people
think. I am disposed to the opinion that
our hands show character almost as un-
erringly as our faces do. and I think the
manner OF using them and the general
neatness or slovenliness which their own
ers Impose upon them are apt to be revela-
uons of the inward life.
For instance, there Is Amy a restless.
nervous and excitable girl. whose hands
are never still minute when she Is awake
She Is always ciasping and unclasping
them, taking up books and laying them
down. fussing with her hair or her dress.
and showing in unmistakable ways that
she has no basis of quietude In her own
nature. There is Lucy, who cannot sit be-
side friend without possessing herself OF
the friends hand, squeezing it and fond
ling 1t as one strokes a kitten, and near
Lucy sits Fannie, with yet more objec-
tionable habit of handling everything she
sees; objects of art. curios, fans or other
delicate things in other peoples houses. or
Ia the shops. articles meant to be looked
at, but not intended to be touched. Fam
nie's way Is sure to render her persona
non grata wherever she goes.

The pomp and ceremony displayed at
formal court functions are imposing in the
highest degree Theaprincipal state func-
tions take place in the white hall of the
Imperial palace of Berlin, a large hall over
100 feet in length, so feet in width and 40
feet high The majority of the guests as
semble in the white hall, but others as
semble In ten other chambers included in
the same suite of state apartments Dis
tributed throughout these ten chambers the
guests await the appearance of the em-
peror and empress. Their majesties' ap-
pearance is proclaimed by two heralds In
medieval costumes of many colors, who
strut along and blow trumpets. They are
followed by a group Of gorgeously liveried
domestics. After an interval the head of
the imperial procession appears in the per-
son of Prince Fuerstenberg, the chiefest
marshal of the household. He is followed
by the chief chamberlain, the chief mas
ter of the hunt, the chiefest cupbearer,
the lord high steward and the other high
court officials all arrayed in their magnifi-
cent uniforms. They pace forward slowly
with stately step, full of the dignity derived
from their vicinity to the imperial person.
After another interval comes the emperor

the purpose of examining the costumes OF

every gala performance ladies' who have

be seen in the corridors cutting Off strips

LEWIS & CLARK EXPOSITION.

It is a noteworthy fact that the
Lewis and Clark Exposition is the first
worlds fair to be held west of the
Rocky Mountains which has secured
the aid Of the government.
And it is also surprising what an in
terest is manifested in the Exposition
by the people of the East. They see
in the Exposition an opportunity to
visit the Western country at greatly
reduced expenditure of money, and not
only see the Exposition itself, but view
the wonders of our Western scenery.
and witness the great resources of the
Northwest and the opportunities af-
forded. The Great Northern Railway
passenger department has been flood
ed with inquiries as to the Exposition,
and it augurs we'll. for a big travel
through the Northwest this year.
