FAMOUS LOST TREASURES,
Relics of the Days of the Pharaohs and Other Epochs Worth
 Fortunes.

The Venus de Milo, which has been in the Louvre for many years, is, as all the world knows, an imperfect piece of sculpture, though 1t is the greatest treasure of its kind the world has ever seen. A great reward would be given the man who could find tho missing parts. About 2S years ago the most important of them-the right arm-came to light in London and was proved by experts to be genuine. The owner, however. refused to part with 1t, and concealed it for fear 1t would be stolen. Unfortunately, he died without revealing its hiding place. so it is as much lost as ever.
 A bronze drinking cup which was stolen from an Egyptian temple in 173s and brought to Europe has mir aculously disappeared. On 1t is en- graved the whole history of the PhaY- aohs and it could easily be sold for S100,000. In fact, the French govern ment offered a reward of $14,000 for it's discovery. but the famous cup has vanished, probably forever.
 Another treasure which has van- ished in as strange a way is the Mar celia vase of the Dresden collection. This is the only piece missing from the famous Dresden Mareella collec- tion. the value of which is said to be $75,000. It bears the cross arrows and the lions head. Not long ago ,he vase was said to be in England, but be that as it may, the person who re- discovers this treasure may command any price in reason for it.
 How it is possible that a treasure so large as painting could be lost sight of entirely is not easily ex- plained, but this has often happened. One of Reynolds paintings, The Countess of Derby" which is consid- cred his best portrait, has disappeared. Not long after 1t was painted It dig appeared from the collection of the earl of Derby and has never been heard of since. though 1t would bring si50.o00 to the finder. There are also two vsndykes and a Rembrandt miss ing. for which collectors are willing to pay s200,O0O.

Tricked by Dyspepsia
The Doctor Couldn't Tell Where the
Trouble Law.

"For the past seven years I have been a victim
of dyspepsia and chronic constipation and have
consulted the most noted SPECIALISTS to be found
ON diseases Of this character None however,
seemed to locate the difficulty or give relief. In
addition to this medical treatment, have resorted
to the use of many remedies and have given them
faithful trial. but all TO purpose.
Upon the recommendation OF a close friend I
purchased a zoe. package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. and in less than FIVE days noticed that L
receiving more benefit than from any remedy
I had used before. continued to use the tab
let's after each meal for month, and by that
time my stomach was In healthy condition. ca
pable Of digesting anything which my Increasing
appetite demanded.
II have not experienced any return of my former
trouble though three months have elapsed since
taking your remedy"
We wish that you could see with your own eyes
the countless other bona ide signed letters from
grateful men and women all over the land who
had suffered years Of agony with dyspepsia, tried
every known remedy and consulted eminent spe-
clafsts without result. until they gave Stusrts
Dyspepsia Tablets trial. Like the doctor above,
they couldn't locate the seat OF the trouble.
Dyspepsia is disease which has long tafied
physicians. So difficult of location is the disease
that cure seems next to miraculous. There is only
one way TO treat dyspepsia-to supply the sele-
ments which nature has ordained TO perform this
function and to cause them to enter the digestive
organs. supplying the fluids which they lack. Stu
arts dyspepsia Tablets alone I'LL these require
ments, Is shown by the fact that 10000 physi-
clans in the United States aud Canada unite in
recommending them to their patients for stomach
disorders.
We do not claim or expect Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets to cure anything but disordered conditions
Of the stomach and other digestive organs but
this they fail TO do. They work upon the
inner lining of the stomach and intestines stimu-
late the gastric glands and aid In the secretion
of juices necessary to digestion.

BURNS POEMS.
Views Of w. r. Smith Regarding the
Number of Editions.

In the current issue Of the Scottish
American there appears a communication
from Mr. w r. Smith. superintendent Of
the National Botanic Gardens. anent the
controversy as to the number of editions
Of the poems of Robert Burns, which is be-
ing carried on by DR.. Campbell of Brook
Ign, N. Y. and others. Mr.. Smith has
one of the largest Burnsiana collections
in the world. 1t is stated. 1t embraces be-
sides the numerous editions of Burns
POEMS many likenesses and other relics of
the great Scottish poet.
In his reply to the statement of Dr.
Campbell, which appeared in the Scottish
American. Mr.. Smith said that '.Mr-Bar-
rett of the Mitchell library; Glasgow, in
the catalogue of the Burns exhibition held
in Glasgow in 1885, states that there were
then 696 editions exhibited: 1903 from Scot
land. 359 from England and thirty-four edi-
tons from ireland; further, forty-seven
translatfons and continental editions Of the
poems and songs of Robert Burns, and in
the United States. where Scottish senti-
ments is both strong and widely dffused,
there must have been very much larger
number of editions issued than sixty or sew
enty. In proof of the correctness of Mr..
Barrett's statement we have in our collec-
ton 1876 American editions.
The first and second American editions
were published within few months of
each other Mr.. Smith adds. 1.-The New
York. or second edition. waited for the por-
trait, but brings more money now at auc-
ton. Two booksellers. oneein Edinburgh,
the other in Cleveland, Ohio, offer it for
$3.50.
George Washington had a copy of the
New York. or second edition. which is held
by Mr. Cabell. ex-representative from Illi-
nois. who told the writer that money could
not buy it.
"A copy with Mr. Carnegies autograph

Mr.. Hew Morrison. librarian of the pub

ant, Mr. William Thompson, at some flu

Mr.. Smith. "A catalogue. by direction Of

two gentlemen that will be a grand paper

to run sewing machine, then
" let it be of the most up-to-date
pattern-one that requires the
least energy in running, requires no
looking after, but does the greatest
amount of work-and work of the
highest character.
We especially recommend "The
Automatic"-the most modern sew
ing machine made, with no shuttles,
bobbins or tensions to look after,
and practically noiseless (only the
person at the machine being aware
of its running). The mechanism is
the finest, all steel parts having thor
oughly stood the acid test. The
cabinet work is of handsome quar-
tered oak, hand-carved and highly
polished. 1t is fitted with automatic
lift and brass drawer pulls, and is
guaranteed against imperfections in
manufacture for ten years.
Each machine is complete with a
full set of the latest nickeled-steel
attachments.

APPEAL FOR FUNDS.
Rev. Claudius Ferrond, Catholic
Priest, Describes Work in Japan.

Rev. Claudius Ferrond, Catholic
Priest, Describes Work in Japan.
Rev. Father Claudius Ferrand. a French
missionary priest, who, for number of
years has labored in Toxic, Japan, occupied
the pulpit at st. Patricks Roman Catholic
Church yesterday at all the masses. He
came to make an appeal for financial aid
for the development of the work which he
has started for the evangelization Of Jap
anese students.
Father Ferrand talked of his plans for
missionary work In Japan. 1t is his desire.
he said, to continue his efforts among Jap
anese students in Toxic on a more ampli-
fed scale He contends that the religious
future Of Japan depends entirely on those
who, students today, will form the leading
society of Japan in the years to come
Father Ferrand has been in this country
about eight months collecting funds and
expects to return to Toxic by or before
far as his funds will permit, a modern
foundation. much like the Y. NJ. c. A. A
students association is already in existence
under his direction, but this association, he
declares, cannot attain its end because there
are not sufficient resources nor place to
hold assemblies
lowing to rich endowmentS received from
America and England" he said 1.-THE Prot
estant missionaries possess vast and splen-
did establishments. We Catholic mission
aries are placed at a great disadvantage
for the lack Of even the necessaries for

POSTPONED SIX DAYS.
Hearing Regarding the Use of Waters
Of Niagara River.

Secretary Taft has authorized Brig. Gen.
Alexander Mackenzie. chief of engineers, to
announce that the hearing on the trans
mission of electricity from the Canadian
side of Niagara Falls to the United States
will be postponed until November 26. The
Secretary of War expected to be able to
have the hearing at the War Department
November 90 but changes in his personal
plans made 1t necessary for him to post
pone the Niagara hearing for six days.
The act passed by Congress authorizing
the Secretary of War to fix the amount of
power certain companies may transmit from
Canada to the United States, also en-
powered him to prohibit the admission of
any electricity from Canada, and great
pressure is being brought to bear upon
Secretary Taft to head off all electricity
generated in Canada on the ground that
the extension Of such concession will further
reduce the flow of water over the falls. The
American Civic Society Is heading the
movement to bar out Canadian electricity,
and through its influence hundreds of pro-
tests have reached the War Department.

TO DISCUSS ASSESSMENTS.
Civil Service Commissioner Green,
Will Address Reform Association.

: Henry R. Green. member of the United
States civil service commission has accept
ed an invitation to address the next annual
convention of the National Civil Service
Reform Association, November 20, at New
Haven, Conn. His subject will be 1.-THE
Enforcement of the Provisions of Civil
Service in Regard to Political Assess
ments''
For some time the United States commits
sion has been fighting the efforts of cam
paign committees to collect funds from gov
eminent employees there being a provision
Of the civil service act forbidding such a
thing, and fixing a penalty. Already there
have been several prosecutions and a num-
Der of committee chairmen have narrowly
escaped such action. The members of the
commission have been very much inter-
ested in the National Civil Service Reform
Association and have given it their support
wherever possible. One of the cardinal
purposes of this organzation is to bring
about freedom of governmental employees
from political influences.
For these reasons Commissioner Greene's
address is awaited with much interest.
Something concerning the commission's
plans for the future to upset old customs
for raising campaign. funds is looked for
from his lips.

deep interest in the team and his pleasure
at its success. The honors gained by the

by the fine record of manful sportsmanship
