1T used to be in Thebes about 1900
years before Christ" MorewOod re-
piled. The story as ! know it goes
no farther back than the early sixties,
when a party Of five friends from Phil.
adelphia ascended the Nile as far as
the first cataract. At Luxor they rest
ed a week with a view to visiting the
site of the great city of Thebes, and
especially its marvellous and mystic
temple Of Amen Ra. Upon the night
Of their arrival a fete was given in
their honor by the consul, Mustapha
Aga In the middle of the festivities
a strange nomad from the desert made
his appearance Unexpectedly. His err
rand was to inform Mustapha of the
discovery, near a certain oasis, Of a
mummy case of surprising beauty
which mad once held the body of a
high priestess Of Amen Ra. Escorted
by Mustapha Aga and his guard, they
left the revels and followed the mys-
terious sheik out into the desert where
lay the marvellous mummy case You
may believe the travellers were over
joyed to be the first outsiders to
whom the treasure had been shown
and they lost no time In closing the
bargain. To avoid contention, they
drew lots among themselves for the
privilege of becoming the owner Of
the mummy case, and, "at first pur-

THIRTY LIVES LOST.
Mine Explosion Near Elkins, W. Va,
Caused tho Death Of Many. ~.
Mostly Foreigners.

Elkins, w. Va, Feb .4.--AAn explo-
sion today in mine No. rs Of the
Davis Coal and Coke company, at
Thomas. near here, Is believed to have
caused@the death Of about 80 miners,
the majority of whom were foreigners.
The men had just gone into the mine
to begin work when the crash. came.f
Five of the men, the ones that en-
tered the mine just before the ex-
plosion occurred, have been taken out
Of the mine dead. From this circum-
stance the deduction is made that
those who entered before the men
whose bodies have been recovered,
must have surely lost their lives also.

A SPEED LIMIT
Mayor TurnbuIl Urges
Council to Pass an
Ordinance.
LAND WANTED FOR PARK

At the meeting of council Monday
evening, City Solicitor Day read a
resolution declaring it necessary to
appropriate about eleven and a half
acres lying east of the monument be-
tween the race and the B. and o.
railroad for park purposes. After a
lengthy discussion the resolution was
adopted.
About seven acres of the land de-
sired is owned by Charles D. Rood
and the remainder by Mrs. Magdalena
Sprankle. Solicitor Day explained
that the city will eventually have a
park running from Tuscarawas street
to Lake street but that the main rea-
son for the appropriation is to pre-
vent the erection of buildings in the
near proximity of the monument that
would spoil its appearance. Should
the matter not be attended to at once,
private parties would erect stands and
other unpretentions buildings for the
sale of souvenirs and other articles
to monument visitors, something for
which Day declares, the pride of Can
ton would not stand.
Eventually boulevard will be built
from Tuscarawas street to the mon
ument, between the present park and
the railroad and with the acquisition
of the property north of that point,
may be extended all the way to Lake
street.
Mayor Turnbull was unable to be
present at the council meeting but
submitted the following communica
ton:

CATARRH GROWING Less.
Due to the Use OF Hyomei-cures
Without Stomach Dosing.

Inquiry at the local drug stores
tarrh has decreased very much in the
last year. Some medicines which were
formerly bought gross at time are
now purchased in half dozen lots and
are rarely called for,
There is one notable exception to
this decrease in sale, and that is Hy-
omei, This remedy is, in fact, respon-
sible for the decrease in sale of catarrh
medicines, as it has made so many
cures of catarrhal troubles that natu-
rally there is much less demand for
remedies for that disease.
People who have been trying differ
emit medicines for catarrh during many
Hyomei by Dodson's Pharmacv's guar
antee, that the remedy would cost
nothing unless cured. Much to their
surprise, they found that Hyomei did
what it claimed (if it did not Dodson' IS
Pharmacy could not sell it under this

dent advocates of the use of Hyomei.
There is no disagreeble stomach dos

sons and Conditions
The pulse of women generally beats
at slightly faster rate than that OF
men. 1t may be said that when a per-
son is at rest his pulse, that of any
adult. may be from seventy-fve to
eighty times minute Great variation
exists in different individuals in re-
spect Of the number Of beats. After
exercise the pulse quickens because of
the stimulation of the heart. and the
same result applies to the effects OF
taking food. y dose of alcohol will also
stimulate the pulse somewhat. just rs
the use of tobacco. especially in excess.
will tend to have an opposite effect
namely. that of lowering the rate of
the pulse, because of the depression of
the heart which results lii fevers and
intiammatory diseases the pulse rate
tends to be very much increased and
also in respect of its character Instead
Of beating quietly the blood vessel in
such cases exhibits n very fun and
bounding movements ON the other
hand. where depression exists and the
temperature of the body falls. the
pulse may he mnaturally sloW and its
character weak Physicians are accus-
toned to distinguish other characteris
ties in the pulse, such as become valu-
able hints in the discovery aud deter
mination of disease. The practical les
son we learn here is that whore the
pulse continues for any length of time
to have its beats quickened to an I'M
natural degree and where especially a
rise of the temperature or heat of the
BODY accompanies these symptoms we
ought TO suspect some Kind of feverish
condition or other to be represented.
The pulse alone forms a valuable
enough guide to this state of the body,
but its value is very much increased if
to the information given us by the
pulse we add that which the use of the
thermometer supplies. Cardiff Times.
