1 900 YEAR MASoN'S
APRON FOUND ON A MUMMY
Jew Dealer Purchases Priceless Treas
ure Worked in Real Gold.

TACOMA, June S.-A gold-embroi
dered and very valuable Mason's apron,
at least thousand years old, was found
on a mummy which Capt. e. w
Sprague of the American schooner Co.
lumbia picked up on his last trip to
Callao, for a few dollars. The gold
thread in the apron is alone worth up
ward of $40.
1t is, one of the oldest curios he has
ever run across. The Masons apron Is
hand embroidered and of antique de-
gn, the figures and emblems being
worked in real gold thread.
Capt Sprague bought the apron from
a contractor who did not recognize it's
value, and who had unwittingly pur-
chased a mummy and was anxious to
get rid of the thing.
Many high Masons have called upon
Capt Sprague and attempted to deci-
pher some of the symbols, but no one
has yet been able to read all of them.
All agree that the work is very old,
and that it belonged to a very high
degree Mason.
Judging from the mummy and other
contents of the box in which the apron
was found, it is estimated that the
apron was made thousand years ago,
and was probably carried into Peru by
some of the conquerors. In the center
of the apron is worked the face of a
temple, and set above the door are
three poorly cut and misshapen dia-
| monds. The apron shows evidence of
having contained at some time or other
| over 100 of these jewels all of which
with the exception of the three men
toned were picked out and stolen by
the workmen who uncovered the box.
The three were left above the door.
Capt Sprague believes, out of super
stition

pie. There are also the square and the
compass, the scales and several other
emblems.

making an investigation in Kittitas
county to see how much crushed rock
and road building material that county
will use if the state crushing plant is
located here. Commissioner Lemay is
now in Ellensburg making the invest-

Z VALUE OF POLlTENESS. +
BY
Rhoda Carmichael.

Few people appreciate the true value
of politeness Little attentions which
are too vague to mention are, often
times thss key to success IN various
ways in life. A few days ago while
waiting at the station for tram l
had the pleasure of witnessing, what
to me was a very gratifying scene. A
young man who was talking with sew
eral gentleman friends, suddenly no
ticed his sister crossing the street in
the direction of the station and, ex-
cusing himself to his trends, passed
over to meet her. "Come with me" he
said, and when they returned to his
friends he lifted his hat politely in
recognition of the greetings of the
other men. The attention shown this
girl by her brother made her at once
at ease in the crowd and procured for
her all the politeness and attention to
which she was due; but which she GER
tainly would not have received had
her brother shown her less chivalry.
l have, noticed this same man on
other occasions, and he, is always po-
lite He meets his managers with a
smile and greets his fellow-workers
politely. He has friends on every side.
His ability is not superior to many
another man who gets along in the
world about half as we'll but his sue
cess in great measure is due to his
early training which he practices
every day; and by which he numbers
his friends and admirers by the doz-
ems. Be polite.

PARALYTIc DIES ON BED OF FIRE
Slowly Burns to Death on Couch I'm.
able to Move a Muscle.

BUTTE, Mont, June Sired Bach
man, a paralytic, died last night from
burns received yesterday while he lay
upon a couch smoking a pipe. Lighted
ashes, or a carelessly dropped match,
ignited a curtain and Bachman, unable
to move a muscle or utter a sound, was
slowly enveloped by the flames, which
covered him from head to foot and
burned the bedding from under him. In
an adjoining room lay Bachman's
mother, also suffering from paralysis
and unable to move hand or foot in an
effort to save her SON. The fire de-
partment extinguished the flares.
Bachman was bricklayer and pio-
neer resident of the city. He was sud-
denly stricken with paralysis a week
ago.

outdoor exercise. The more outdoor ex-
ercise you can manage in the "A
hours the better There is one girl
who had to give up her work as shop
assistant because of varicose veins. SO
she became a children's nurse, and was
quite cured in three months time. The
regular walking exercise out of doors
was just what she wanted.
Bicycling and walking are the best
and from your work, even if it means
getting ND half an hour earlier in the
morning.
In the third place, you must pay
SPECIAL attention to your general
health. Take salts or mineral water
in the morning two or three times
week. If you are anaemic, take a
course of iron and cascara pills for
six weeks. Begin with one three times
a day, and increase the dose gradually
till you are taking three thrice daily.
Swelling of the ankles, pallor of the
face, gums and ears, and palpitation
on exertion are all signs of anaemia.
OF course, it is wise to- curtail the
standing hours as much as possible. At
any rate, whenever you have the
chance at home, put the foot on chair
to raise the limb or lie on a couch
when reading instead Of sitting up
right. When the leg is raised it en-
courages the blood to flow more easily
through the veins.

Children

1t is the bus ness girl who knows best
the fatigue which is the result or long
hours of standing with insufficient
walking exercise. Shop girls, girls IN
workshops. factories or laundrles VINO
spend the greater part of the day on
their feet suffer very generally from
swelling of the ankles and verbose
veins of the legs.
A verbose vein IS a vein which has
become enlarged and is associated with
fatigue and sometimes cramp., coldness
of the feet swelling OF the ankle and
numbness.
The condition is due in the first place,
to the long hours of standing, while
anaemia and poor general health aggra-
vate all the symptoms. 1t is common
enough complaint Unfortunately girls
are too apt to take no notice of the con-
dition because they say there is mo
danger" and it is just one of the dis
advantages of their work. Also, as one
girl remarked the other day: IF ]
go to a doctor he will only say, You
must stop standing and if stop stand
ing shall have to stop living, because
my bread and butter depend upon my
work" But that is no reason why
girl should do nothing for the condi-
ton, because if neglected it is apt to
go from bad to worse, and all sorts of
troublesome effects follow upon a vari-
cose vein neglected for a few years.
First, support the leg with an elastic
stocking, which you can buy at any
drug store. The best one is perhaps
crepe de voile bandage, because it is
cool and light, and although it costs
about so cents, it will last for a long
time.

Proper Shoes Great Help.

Indeed, if girls who have to stand for
many hours of the day would pay prop
or attention to their shoes and stock
ings they would save themselves
great deal of fatigue and discomfort,
and help to cure the shop headache,
which is so often the result Of over
fatigue and standing in uncomfortable
shoes.
Bathing of the feet in warm water,
to which common salt has been added,
will sometimes do wonders for girl
who reaches home at night tagged and
"headachey," and weary in every limb.
1t is just these simple matters that
make all the difference to the general
health and happiness of the working
woman. and attention to such health
details will do a great deal to keep a
girl fit and strong and able for her
daily work. Many breakdown in
health can be traced to simple neglect
and carelessness in these matters.
The standing girl, whose work COM
pels her to remain on her feet most of
the time, must make a point of having
an extra allowance of rest in the even
ing. and a good nights sleep. A half
day in bed during the weekend when
ever she is particularly tired will build
