Finds s5o.ooo in Well.


 neer Press.
 Frank Blint, a Lee County farmer. has come into possession or large fortune in q most unusual manner. having found among the rubbish at the bottom of an old well cans containing $5O.0O0 in gold. The farm upon which this great wealth was found was form erly owned by man named Court wright, a wealthy miser.
 Cartwright always had been reputed to he wealthy. but when he died the administrator was unable to find much of the money he was said to have pos sessed. Cartwright would not trust banks. but instead hid his wealth away in various places upon the farm where he lived. Now that the treasure from the well has come to light. there Is no telling how mucn money may be hidden away upon the farm. The house had not been occupied for a number of years prior to Blints occu- pancy, and people in that part of the country thought 1t haunted.
 Blint purchased the old Cartwright farm some months ago for a song on account of the ghosts supposed to haun: the place. He put many repairs upon 1t and began to enlarge the cistern. While at the bottom turning dirt his spade struck a chest. which when brought forth was found to contain several thousands of dollars. Blint was more than satisfied with his ln- vestment, but even after unearthing the chest did not dream of what was yet to come. It so happened that an old well needed cleaning and Blint went down to do the work. In the rubbish at the bottom he found tin cans filed with gold coin to the value of $50.GJJ.
 Cartwright had no known heirs. so Blint has the only claim upon the money found.

The old Roman forum Is the mecca of the student, and the Coliseum is still a wonder. defying. as 1t has the storms of nearly 1000 years At Naples ono sees Vesuvius and lava beds formed but few months ago. At one place the stream of lava poured through an archway and hardened as 1t cooled. When we were there the lava was like stone and could with dif- ficulty be broken. At Florence one sees the best specimens of modern sculpture and at Milan he visits one of the most famous of tho European cathedrals.
 Venice Is in a class by itself. No other city rivals 1t in uniqueness. Its streets are canals. and gondolas are the vehicles in which potentate. priest and plebian ride. It draws vlsitors from all over the world, and sends them away after a short visit, glad that they came and equally glad to escape from the dampness of the place.

At Cairo and the Orient comes near est to Europe and America, and the difference between the Orient and the western world Is so striking that no one visiting southern Europe should miss the Nile and the Bosphorub. One can spend weeks. and even months. about the shores of the Mediterranean; Africa, Asia Minor and Europe, all touch upon this great inland sea. With out leaving its shores one can study the most opposite types which the human race has produced and at the same time study the history of the old est periods known to man. Egypt should be visited before the end Of March while April Is the best month for a trip to Palestine.
 In Italy alone one could occupy a winter Rome, the center of the Cath ole world. and the home of the Caes- ars. Is a most fascinating city. There

 Now, there was a man who had done what he had been told to do." concluded Mir. Bryan. with hearty laugh. |
 The Commoner relates with great glee one incident that befell him In Japan. He went to one of the temples in Tokyo to see the shrines of some of Japan's departed statesmen. It was at Shiba Park. where the most
 
 located.
 This was the first Japanese temple that MT. Bryan had ever visited. He was accompanied by several dignita- ries of the municipality of Tokyo. who had come to act as an escort of honor
 At the temple door the Japanese gen. tlemen began to remove their shoes according to unalterable custom. MT. Bryan took off his Oxford ties and was mortified to find that most of the great toe and part of the second toe of one of his feet were protruding boldly from his sock. There was no help for it the great American statesman with his guard of honor, had to batter over the bronze floors of the shrines at Shtba with two toes exposed. Never have I felt the fack of dig ity so much as on that occasion," says Mr Bryan. Anyway, I bought the socks in Japan and that accounts fol the fact that such a hole could be worn between the time I put them or in the morning and the time I took off my shoes at the temple door in the afternoon"

If one desires . summer trip. he can find few journeys more delightful than those through Switzerland and along the Rhine. Lakes. rivers and noun tains--these are to be found in abund- ance. with cities enough to supply the population and hotels to accommodate the tourists. If one would combine pleasure with instruction, he can prof itabIy employ considerable time in vis- iting the German universities at Hai- delberg and Leipsic. and the are gall leries at Dresden and Munich. The ca- thedral at Cologne. 1t may be added. Is by many preferred to the cathedral at Milan.
 The northern portions of Europe are even more inviting to the summer tour list than Switzerland or the Rhine. The lakes of Ireland and Scotland and tfe sea coast resorts of England and Hol- land give rest and recuperation to null titudes every year.
 If were going to suggest a summer trip, 1t would be as follows: Leave New York city early in June, land at Liver pool cross over to Newcastle and take

ment. Tn three months time one car . make this northern trip and return with a fund of information about the countries and their peoples which could never be collected from books It is not an expensive trip. even for first class travel, and the accommodations furnished by the steamers and the rail- roads for second-class passengers are such that one can reduce his expenses considerably without discomfort
 But let me add that one does not have to leave America to fnd places a trip abroad until he has become ac- Quafnted with his own country. Flu rope has no summer resorts that sur pass the cities on the St. Lawrence, on our Northern lakes. and In the mountains of the west. In America we can have every variety from salt sea bathing to mountain climbing. with fishing thrown in. In natural scenery there is nothing in Europe which sur passes the Niagara, Yellowstone Park and the Yosemite Valley of California. There are no agricultural views which surpass those in the valleys on the ohio. the Mississippi and the Missouri. and for a restful winter trip Hawaii. Mexico and Cuba offer attractions that are unexcelled. While the western hemisphere is not so old In Its civi'i- xatfon. the only advantage that the Orient and Europe can furnish Is In their variety of races. customs and re- ligions.
 In natural scenery America satisfies all expectations. Nothing but the Hi- malayaV offer more sublime heights. and the earth has no other chasm equal to the Grand Canyon of Arisona. Af- ter one has seen the wonders of Amer lea and the possibilities of its soil. its institutions and its people. he can go abroad with the assurance that he will return. moro widely informed. 1t is true. but more intensely American than before. There Is no country like ours whether 1t be measured by the bountiful of man. In all that goes to make a nation great materially commercially. Intellectually. politically and morally. our country has no peer. The Amer ican. returning to his own shores. feels like thanking Scott for expressing so | felicitously the travelers' sentiments: l "Breathes there the man with soul so dead
 Who never to himself hath said. This is my own. my native land, Whose heart hath ne'er within him burn'd
 AS homo his footsteps he hath turn.d
 From wandering on foreign strand, If such there breathe. go. mark him well!
 For him no minstrel raptures swell; High though hts titles. proud his name.
 Boundlsss his wealth a. wish can | clafm.--
 : Despite those titles, power and pelf,
 Tho wretch, concentred all in self.
 Lvins. shall forfeit fair renown, And, doubly dying. shall go down
 To the vile dust from whence he sprung,
 Unwept. unhonord. and unsung."

The ruins at Baalbec. in some respects the most remarkable In the world. attract many to Beyrout Damascus and the Lebanons. but the Sea of Galilee, Jeru- salem and the Jordan have lessons for the tourist of far greater Importance than can be, derived from the ruins of heather temples.

A Beautiful Hand.

The pretty hand has charm that Is second only to the charm of a pretty face. The pretty hand should have character It should be graceful and expressive, significant of something be. sides prettiness. It should be firm and it may be brown or white. but never red or mottled. It may be dim pied, but 1t should not be fat. like cushion. After reaching the age of thirty or thereabouts the skin Is apt to lose some of it's youthful moisture. and 1t is then that the hands begin 90 de- velop telltale wrinkles.
 It is an excellent thing to soak them In sweet oil before going to bed. while to whiten a pair of obstinately red hands nothing is more efficacious than a mixture of equal parts of lemon juice and water. with the addition of little boraric powder.

There is 70 much to see Ma snu learn that one can occupy an indeti. nite time. in travel. We set apart year for the trip and reached home sixteen days within the limit. TnoSe who have followed these letters VIII admit, I think. that we haveN covereo . great deal of ground and seen z great deal of the world. If ws were rsneatinE the trip. I hardly know of any country that we could afford to leave out, and I am satisfied that " is better to start from the fscinc 2 coast than from the the Atlantic. One could make the trip in half the tiMe that we spent and see ereet ae~,:
 If one desires to make the trip m air months, he should set apart aoout two months for ocean travel ae could then devote two weeks 10 yep1n' ten days to China. week 10 ManIa' three weeks to India. . week 70 Dsypss: two weeks to the Holy Land. . week to Greece and Constantinople. and the rest of the time to Europe. To go through. Korea would rsauare ten days or two weeks more. but the hermit kingdom is different from any other country, and its queer people are worth seeing. Very few of the tourists have yisited Pekin, and yet 1t is in some respects the most interesting of the Chinese cities. Tho Manchu element Of the Chinese population--ths ruling eie- ment-can only be seen in Pekin or In the northern districts. The great wall Is near Pekin and the wall around the city of Pekin is even more imposing than the great wall itself The Altar of Heaven, the most beautiful and elaborate sacrincial altar on earth. is in the suburbs of the Chinese capital and in itself we'll repays a visit
 Until recently Pekin could only be entered from the sea viauTientstn. The railroad. however. from Pekin to Han- kow was about completed when we were there, and this greatly facilitates travel through the interior. If one goes through Korea, 1t Is best to go on to Pekin by water and then so down on the railroad to Hankow and down the Yangtse River to Shanghai.
